Finally... The Wait is Over..

The days has come and gone. A month of matches, betting (legally and illegally), shouting and screaming, cursing and swearing, happiness and joy, the neglecting and those being neglected, tears of disappointment and joy.

The CUP has been given to Italy.

For this one month, I discovered some new things about my partner. Here are 10 examples for you:-

1. When I accompany her to Alternative Bar ("AB") to watch the matches, she would not leave me entirely alone, to drink and 'eat myself' (read: '吃自己'..). She would chat with me, stroke my cheeks and ensure that I have my glass filled and not left empty.
2. My partner does not make noise and shout / scream, "Goal!" "F**k!" or "他 妈 的" when someone misses a goal, a strike, a defence, a penalty kick or whatever else there is.
3. My partner can go without watching any match if I am not feeling well and wanna stay at home.
4. My partner would be willing to watch with all the Ah Pek's at the coffee-shop or MacDonald's (even with the reflection from the glass panel).
5. My partner would feel guilty if I am staying home and not out with my friends, if she is watching soccer. Then she would want to accompany me to stay at home instead or sms me / call me whenever she can (like every 15 mins or so), if she is in AB.
6. My partner would say, "Thank you" to me whenever she finishes watching a match (if I am together with her).
7. My partner said, "Thank you" to me when I took up bets (personal betting system) with her for certain matches.
8. My partner would tell me which player is which, from which country, what mistake did the guy make, the meanings of the Yellow and Red Card, blah blah blah.
9. My partner would give me some extra spending money if I went out with my friends for dinner and shopping.
10. My partner stayed home to watch the Finals while I was sleeping blissfully at her place.

At the end of this one month, I have lost $10 to her. And she lost a ice-cream bet to me. Ehhhh.. my ice-cream treat was from Haägen-Dazs, you know.. More expensive than the $10 I lost. Good Huh??!!

Anyways, I can now have my darling's full attention again. No need to share her with the TV screen, 14 inch or flat screen or plasma or whatever else it is called, together with all the foreign men....

Hahahaa....
