narnia

Yesterday i went to watch Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian!

Nar -- ni -- a? u might ask.

Suntec City, 2.30pm.

A good two hours 20 min spent in the cinema with family and mary. delightful...
Met up with the bowling people for supper, unfortunately I was so drained by then. Almost no sleep since thursday (no thanks to ops vl) so i was holding on..

went home after that, EURO 2008!!! What better way to start than hosts Switzerland against perennial black horses Czech Republic.

Yes, 5 minutes of the match and it was over.. well not quite. i just dozed off! ha ha for the hundredth time. looks like the lack of sleep was just too powerful and my biceps needed some rest.

Have i ever told u about the time i wanted to catch a 2.30 am champions league match on tv, Arsenal vs Valencia. Very important match. I tried and toiled so hard to stay up till 2.30am, forcing myself to sit up and play FM until 2.30am, dozing off on a few occasions.

and finally the time had come and i turned on the tv, got the drinks and chips, adjusting my sitting position to the most comfortable. wait sitting like this is not comfortable enough, so is sitting like this.. ah why not i just lie down.

Before u know it, it was 5 am, match just over. THANKS, totally pissed.

Speaking of football. EURO 2008 has started!!!

Fantabulous la. Czech and Portugal got off to great but expected winning starts yesterday. I must say i hope Portugal win, but something tells me the final will have the Czechs inside.

Let me show off my prophetic skills and try to predict the qualifiers from each group. (haha easy i know)

Group A: Portugal, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Turkey

Muscular Glen's prediction: This is easy, portugal is just too good. the Czechs boast a mean defence with 4 very very very good defenders, Jankulovski, Grygera, Ujfalusi, Galasek. Amazing! a sure qualifier, and maybe even all the way. Switzerland may boast excellent players like barnetta and behrami, but they lost Frei last night, and thats it. Come on their best defender is like Senderos.. lol

Group B: Poland, Austria, Germany, Croatia

Muscular Glen's prediction: I wun say obvious, but it seems like the automatic choice would be Germany, with their stars and all. Croatia may have lost eduardo but they still have the super pro niko kranjcar. I think these 2 will go through. Sorry austria, no chance, but go ahead and surprise me.

Group C: Italy, Netherlands, Romania, France

Muscular Glen's prediction: CRAP. GROUP OF DEATH. this is a toughie. As world champions, u don't expect Italy to screw up here. But netherlands and france both stand an equal chance.. but i'm leaning towards France. Netherlands have too many injuries.

Group D: Spain, Russia, Greece, Sweden

Muscular Glen's prediction: This is an easy one i would say. Spain have great players and might even go on to finally win this after Raul finally got told to stay at home. haha too bad. But Russia have a SUPERB team. they are the dark horses here i might say. No one knows much about them and thats what makes them so good. expect greece to be steamrolled here. Sweden are so desperate that they even recalled henrik larsson to the team. THANKS AH.

The rest of the predictions will come another time.

2 MORE DAYS TO CHIANG MAI!!! WOOOT
