engrish~

it was rory's birthday yesterday, so with calvin, the 3 of us had some top-notch beef buffet, then went to the casino...

on the first floor of the casino were the poker tables.. and the poker room rules...

since the casino in korea is ONLY for foreigners... u'd think they'd get the english right on the poker rules...

if u look carefully, there is a rule which says 'Only English and Korean will be permitted while a hand is in play (Should we only speak English)'

im still trying to work out what that bracket stuff means... are they asking the people to take a survey on whether korean should be allowed? or are they telling us to only speak english in a really konglish way???

meh.... again... the casino is prohibited for koreans... its only for foreigners... so why would anyone speak korean at the poker tables???

what a disgrace~

last night, the final games for the world cup qualifiers finished up.... and it ended with alot of controversy.... ALOT~

its not even controversial.... france cheated.... thierry henry cheated.... and now he's shifting the blame onto the referees....

it the ball is kicked at speed into a players hand, and it is an unintentional handball, thats the referees judgement call.... but in this case, it is not the referees fault... it was an intentional handball... he had the intention to stop the ball going out with his hand.... the guy is a cheat.... i've now lost that very little respect that i had for him in the first place...

the other games were good too... portugal beat bosnia in bosnia... the linesman had cans and bottles thrown at him...

russia vs slovenia.... 2 red cards, alot of brawling.....

algeria vs egypt.... brawls.....

in the end, the france vs ireland game tops the news....

seriously.... all the diving and cheating is making soccer a bit pathetic....

awesome day/night of sports~

yesterday was some day in sports huh! for people like me...

world cup qualifiers, asian cup qualifiers, australian masters golf, four nations rugby league, international friendlies soccer... so good, i didnt watch the tennis masters....

first of all, although he beat the aussies... how good is tiger woods.... u gotta realise that it is hard to win a golf tournament... to win ONE tournament in a season, that is a good season... he wins numerous tournaments per season....

the picture today is obviously greg inglis... australia beat the poms to win the four nations league... it was nice to see that alot of the players now care about international rugby league... mainly because the skill difference has narrowed alot.... nz winning the world cup, and england beating the kiwis to get to the final... despite australia running away with it at the end, it was a good close game...

soccer... well, i stayed up all night last night until 8am watching soccer.... the kiwis are going to the world cup after beating bahrain.... australia beat oman 2-1, after scoring 2 goals while playing with 10 men.... korea played for the first time in europe in ages~ they drew 0-0 with denmark in a mud pool... it was a shame coz korea did put one in the net, but was called for offside...

i guess all the sports hype isnt over yet... there is the return leg for the world cup qualifiers in europe... australia are playing ireland in the rugby union... should be good... wallabies are in form... but ireland havent lost for ages~~

well... mum's gone back to sydney.... i guess i'll stay home, eat all the food she's prepared and watch some good sports~

and~ finally... alot of my old year 12 students have finished their university entry exam.... well done guys... and girls... =)

cousin's wedding....

my cousin got married a month ago.... yes... a month ago, and im posting this now...

since then, i had swine.... my mum was here... and i just couldnt be bothered writing posts...

well... congratulations to my cuz (the groom)...

lots of wedding bells around these days.....

hmmmm.......

meanwhile, im single, and im in a pickle....

my contract will be up in march next year, and i dont know what to do... renew?? well, unless they offer me a nice new contract, which wont happen.... i doubt i will renew.... should i stay in korea for another year? taiwan? back to china? japan? europe? canada? sth america? back to australia??? if i go back to australia.... sydney?? canberra? perth??

all of these places have gone thru my head.... everyone seems to be leaving korea... i dont blame them.... this place has alot of educated people with no common sense or manners.... that would be less common sense than me, and less manners than me.... thats hopeless~ haha

ah well... my mum is heading back to sydney on saturday.... man~ i wish i was going back this week too.... go back and bludge over the summer again.... its freakin cold here now... hate it~

blah!
