For one, we've to pay a bomb to either Starhub or Singtel to watch every match, which I refuse to pay. In those days, we'd watch them with no additional charges via our regular starhub subscription.
Anyways, this time round, World Cup has lost its usual appeal to me. Somehow, while watching this year's games at friends' places, I would drift off.. recalling those previous World Cups with you watching together with me, complete with coke, chips.
You'd gasp and sigh with me when the team that we support, misses. Cheer when our team scores. I really miss those moments of ups and downs with you.
This year, I know which team you'd support. It must be Australia. The country which you spent a couple of years studying for your Masters.
A country which you'd spent some of your happiest days, making new friends from all over the world, travelling to some of the most beautiful places on Earth and also as you'd always boasted, when you were the slimmest! I remember when Guowei and Caiyi visited you, they nearly cannot recognise you in your slim outfit!
You'd always tell me how strong the sporting culture is to the Aussies. You'd jokingly tell me that most Aussies would remember their sports teams' anthem rather than their own national anthem!
This year, I will support Australia with you, starting with their first game with Germany tonight. Aussie, Aussie Go Go Go!
