Rugby World Cup!!

South Africa won rugby world cup!!! in a damn boring game. SA scored 15-6 against the English, but all points were scored through penalty.. I simply cannot believe that there's not a single try in the final. So south africa won, whoopee. The guys were damn happy lah! Han wore a green jersey with the shrek ears headband from Mcdonalds.

In the 2nd half, it started to get a little interesting as Cueto from the England team scored a try, but wasn't counted coz his foot touched the line. That's about as exciting as the whole match gets. So much for going over to Prav's at 3am, driving all the way to CCK just to catch the match.

In another more interesting game, the 3rd, 4th placing one between france and argentina.. Argentina totally trashed France in their own chao game! The referee was damn biased, kept fouling argentina, even when a guy was on the floor after kenna whack, he got yellow card for nothing.

Then another Argentinian tackle Chabal around the shoulders and got fouled for high-tackle. WTF??? OK la, I know Chabal damn BIG, but that doesn't mean a guy can't bring him down fairly right? Who dare to foul him? Please look at him.



Han says he looks like jesus on steroid.. haha. Fucking huge monster who gouged someone's eye. He damn CHAO can!

But although Argentina was getting short changed by the referee, they played their best and scored 5 tries against France. Haha! If score try then referee cannot say anything what.. GO HOME SUCK THUMB LAH, U STUPID UNETHICAL REF!!!

Amazing game! Argentina held their ground damn strong! Amazing attempts by France to cripple their opponents and get a medal for Chao-play! worth the petrol money to watch.

OH ya, on a random note, when I was searching for Chabal's picture, I found this:

Look how YANDAO!!! Haha. Beneath all that hair, he quite shuai lah, especially his earnest eyes.. So nice and sweet. And the beard is kinda endearing, don't you think? Sweeeeet. There's something in rugby for the ladies after all.

Jason told me something today:

You're nobody in a land of familiar, wanting to be somebody. But to be somebody,
you have to cross over to the other side, where there will be border bullies.
Also, just before the border, you have to scale the wall of fear to get to the
other side. As you take a step back into the land of familiar, you get more
comfortable and happy. You take another step, you feel better. Now the question
is, will you keep backing into the land of familiar and continue to be a nobody,
or take the leap of faith and be somebody?

I feel that in life, each of us have to hammer on the walls of our comfort zone and break through. Because as we continue to live in this little bubble, and continue to grow in it, soon we'll be too big for it and we will outgrow the little space we have. This is called maturity. We need to get out of our comfort zone and have a good look around and make something out of it.

Let fear be the fuel, and let our faith be our safety net. Fear will propel us forward. Instead of not going forward due to the fear of failing, go all the way and succeed and based on that fear. Should be fail, let our faith catch us and continue believing that a little detour shall be the rest stop for futher endeavours.

I think it helps to think this way. Leave no space for failures to exist.
