Ole ole - super germany ...

[location: Singapore @ work]
[mood: mixed]

Did u see that amazing game (ref: Germany - Equador) last night?? Wohooo ... great game! It took them quiet a while, but this was again an interesting & amazing game to watch. Let's keep the fingers crossed, that it will remain like that for the next games ;)

Very cute tho: In order to be patriotic, my parents actually sent me a Germany flag, to give mental-support from Asia. Funny enough, I read an article in a german newspaper, that since 1990 (Germany's reunion) - it has never happened again, that so many 'Germany' products are sold: Flag / T-shirts / ...
From what I've heard - unfortunately I can't actively take part in the whole spectacle - the whole of Germany is covered in an 'let's_show_where_we_come_from'-euphoria.

I am sure most of you have actually heard about the 'Zuhause bei Freunden' campaign - which basically should encourage germans to rent spare rooms etc to people travelling to Germany for the world-cup. Also this seems to be a huge success. People are renting out their rooms (some of them even for free) and enjoy the visit from other countries.
That just reminds me to the 'Emirates - commercial: Football - one language!' ...

Pretty amazing - even though I am 10.000 km away from my home-country and am honestly a bit disappointed, that I miss the whole world-cup but also here the parties / games are an huge success. The time difference can be a bit a pain, as some of the games are shown at 3 am and especially the final etc are laaaate at night. Anyway - I am already looking forward to that!

What else (will) happen(ed):
- This weekend is my cousins wedding and as usual I miss all the fun - anyway all the best to the both of you! Would have loved to come back home!
- I just heard that my other cousin and his girlfriend will come to Singapore to visit me end of July. woooot wooooot ... It is gonna be awesome to have them here!
- An old workmate from the Philippines will arrive this saturday and move in with me. He will start working for the same company on monday.

That's it for today ... will be back soon!
