Tired... Watched footie till 5.30am, slept at 6 then had to wake up an hour and a half later. Portugal lost 3-1 to Germany... excellent match! Was supporting Germany at first, but switched to Portugal after the two goals (fickle minded! >.<). Feel so frustrated with the Portugese lack of defense at their goal post! I mean, look when the ball gets near the Germans' goal, the German players would flock the area so there won't be much gaps for the Portugese to score. On the Portugese side, it's like, 2-3 players there only.
Many many near goals... even after Petit's self-goal, I thought this German player was abt to repeat their opponent's blunder but it turned out to be the tricky camera view. The goals by Germany (can't spell that guy's name TT_TT and lazy to google) were fast and clean through. The goalkeepers were superb this time around. Was surprised to see Kahn 'cause I thought he has retired. And excellent blocking from him! In the last WC, I was tearing my hair out at the finals because the ball slipped from his hands so many times TT_TT (Lost RM2 to a friend, LOL)
I was trying not to get into the whole football thing, but... i succumbed.
Anyway, I got up early as I was going to help out at SGM for their Korean fest. My mom kinda made me to go, but I feel kinda glad that I agreed now! It was pretty fun. There were also Japanese, Malay, Kadazan/Bidayuh, Indian and Chinese culture fest, but I didnt get to visit any of them as I was busy with my task. Many of the Korean members were decked out in their hanbok, and it looks so pretty on them! Especially the little kids, looked super adorable in their traditional costume~ *pinch pinch* They even had hanboks there so the visitors can wear it and take a picture... before the event started, I got to wear it (for free! lol) and took a picture! Wheee.... staff benefits! XD
Alison was there, so I was pretty relieved. Also met with her friend Amy. We were to man the traditional Korean musical instruments section, and this Korean girl, Sung, taught us the basic rhythm. I was playing the big 'duk', which means drum. Alison played the small 'duk' and Amy's instrument was called Kkwaeng-smthg. There was a gong too and this er... dunno what it's called. We couldn't play till 10.00, so four of us sat around chatting and crapping, XD. We wore this big black shirt with the primary colours as thick stripes on our sleeves, to symbolise we're the 'staff' there. Very baggy, and It looks like an artist's smock a little, lol.
So the doors were opened. It's quite fun playing, and then inviting the visitors to try out the instruments and teaching them the basic rhythm as well... later on a Korean, Sylvia, popped by and played a more difficult rhythm, but most of us couldn't catch up TT_TT. Rum-Tak-Tak-Rum-Tak-Rum-Tak-Rum-Tak-Tak. I liked how her movement seems stylish and expressive at the same time.
I find that the little kids could go on and on playing the drums, and I just don't know how to stop them without being rude TT_TT. Then Alison poked me: "Hey, I just realised that if you just put your hands out, they will give you the sticks." So I tried... and it works. Kamsahamida, little one XD. (Tried to learn "Good Morning" from Sung, but it's so long, I gave up and just went "Ahnnyohaseyo~")
12.30pm arrived fairly quickly to my surprise. Alison was complaining that she was tired, but funnily I didn't feel fatigued at all. We all gathered and took a group picture. I always had a nice feeling when I'm there, when participating in an activity though I'm not exactly a staunch Buddhist at all.
Would elaborate more but I want to get some shut eye before Jac pick me up to watch the WC finals!
