Friday night (or Saturday morning) was splendid! Stayed over night at Vikram's place, and we played X box and cards the whole night. We had the Lord, Dhino, Sulaiman, Afzal and Mathieu over that night. The alcohol assisted in keeping us awake..haw haw! Mind you it wasn't beer(ok maybe just a little beer)...Me and Vikram had bought some wine(a vain attempt to become more cultured and sophisticated). Dhino bought some Doritos which went well along with the wine. We started the night with Halo(everyone's favourite game), followed by DEf Jam and Burnout 3. Later, a few of us got together in Vikram's room to play cards. We taught Dhino how to play Bridge, and were marvelled by his mind games that completely fooled everyone! Afzal had a game the following evening and went to sleep around 6am, while the Lord knocked out at close to 7am. Mathieu left a little while after that. The remaining 4 of us, Sulaiman, Dhino, Vikram and i played non-stop tai ti (we enjoyed the sight of the rising sun viewed from the open balcony, accompanied by some good soothing music) all the way till 12pm.

The Highlight of yesterday was surely the Tiger Cup final match first leg played between Sigapore and Indonesia. Some awful defending and indiscipline resulted in Indonesia conceding 3"disgusting" goals before scoring a flukey deflected goal in stoppage time. The result was unexpected(no one expected Sungapore to score 3 goals playing away)..but the late Indonesian goal meant it was not a foregone conclusion since Indonesia still have everything to play for in the 2nd leg. Indonesia's come back against Malaysia when they were losing 3-1 on aggregate, and then scoring 4"disgusting" goals to win the semi -final clearly supports the theory for a Indonesian comeback in the 2nd leg final. That will be one hell of a match to look forward to next Sunday, after the Manchester United vs Liverpool match on Saturday! It's going to be a blockbuster football weekend!
