Nostalgia..

So strange,

Last Saturday was the opening match for Euro 2008. Switzerland VS Czech Republic. I was watching it alone. 4 Years just flew by like that...

Flashback to 2004:

Euro 2004. And we were ready to ORD. Ready to 'fuck' army and move on with our lives. I remember spending loads of time at Liang's old house at Eunos, Mangis Park. It was an old double-storey private apartment. The hall was big enough to play soccer in :)

I remember buying food (prata, murtabak, etc), bringing to Liang's hse and ate them while watching the match or waiting for the match to show on TV. Sometimes, Jun will also be there.. matches would generally start around 3-4am. Before that, we would go out for a late, unhealthy supper =)then watch various matches till 5-6, which then we would head off to bed

Haha I still remember Liang always complaining that I always tend to crowd him until he has no space.. we would then wake up at around 1-2pm, go for breakfast/lunch somewhere near his house and return to lazy ard or play PS till dinner time or just wait for the night routine to start over again.

That was an exciting time for us. Of course, to add to the excitement, we were betting on various matches to win some money...There were matches won and matches lost... but overall we did win.. and used the winnings to take a trip to Genting =)

I saw 1 World Cup (2002) and 1 European Cup (2004) in the time of my national service. Both were memorable but Euro 2004 remains in my memory.

4 Years have passed... now it's Euro 2008... Felt weird watching it alone.. and not in Sg too.. Exams r 2 weeks away so for now, i doubt i have the time to watch much..

Euro 2004 will always be in my memory...
Just a little more time! [*] 10:41 AM
