Still sad over Argentina's loss :(

This year's world cup I think I went all out to watch most matches,
partly cus I had to wake up early for Sahur anyway!
I wasn't going to pay $112 for Singtel subscription in SINGAPORE!
If anyone is ever reading this from overseas, its crazily expensive to watch worldcup at the luxury of your home, you either re-contract your bpl subscription, or pay over $100 to watch the worldcup.
and Singaporeans being singaporeans of cu stream online la!
athough laggy at times, the quality was HD, not much complains for the 4am match
12am match usually quite laggy, but its free!!! whats there to complain!
survived all the way from group stages till semi finals were available on TV.
My best bet was Germany, Holland or France for the worldcup,
I supported Argentina and Portugal but I didn't think they would make it so far.
Higuain change so much I could barely recognise now!
lets not talk about the chance he had infront of the goal 1v1 with the keeper, FINALS :( 
Ronaldo has this fatherly look, ever since he became a father!!
totally forgot abt his boyish look already!
read alot online seems like hes doing alot of charity work which is good!
always good to give back to the society!

Still in denial that Argentina didn't win after coming so close
so near yet so far right... i know
on the other hand, I think Ger deserved it, they have been super consistent throughout the tournament
and all of them super young!! like my age! so next worldcup I am probably seeing the same faces again
Although they beat Arg for the 3rd consecutive world cup, I think Arg played well
so I think i shld be less sour grape. HAHA
Finals at Jurong green CC with Mich and 'Isham.

A pity Netherlands didnt get to play Ger, I thought that would be an interesting match!
I also thought Columbia deserve to go further
Brazil was a sad end!

Now its back to normal sleeping time!!! :)
Body Alarm re-adjusted! yay! 

Thanks babe for driving me around, watching the matches with me, even though he can watch at home,
thank you for being so accomodating when I say Rojo is handsome. opps
Till Russia 2018! :)

7 days

Today is the 7th day of Ramadhan,
On the first day, after 2 rounds of football,
woke up early with Isham to attend classes on Knowing Islam all the way at Paya Lebar area
It was an informative 2.5hours session, both Isham and I picked up really lots of stuff.
I was amazed by the fact that the Holy Book of Quran written about 1400years had facts that were only discovered much later by scientist etc, and no changes/versions made after the original one.

This is a long long journey for me, something I have procrastinated for a good 6 good years while Isham and I are together. we will soon turn 7 in about 4 months,
may my conversion be a smooth and fruitful one.
I may not be perfect but God will slowly guide me :)
Do it cus you believe, not for your partner

we must be forgiving because those who do no good to you,
will receive their judgement on Judgement day :)
don't think about revenge, grudges and continue to be forgiving :)
i think that was one of my best takeaway.

I don't really have to care what people think about me, do I?
This is my choice and my free will

WORLDCUP!! last night, 2 teams I wanted to win, lost
tonight ARGENTINA PLEASE WIN!!! :)
