Rain.

The past couple of days have been really bad in terms of weather. The problem was that the rain was kind of falling intermittenly, so it made going around a bit difficult. Also, whenever it is about to rain, the air would get very hot and stuffy, and it definitely does not make for a very comfortable time for me.

Anyway today I was in the Hong Kong Stadium to watch the FA Cup final between TSW Pegasus and Citizen – which is actually the first time I’ve watch a local football match that does not feature South China! It was actually quite a nice change to be watching a Hong Kong football match purely as a spectator, and the two goals scored by Pegasus were actually quite well taken. I guess every now and then there are some decent footballers around in Hong Kong!

The football season has come to an end, and while the World Cup is about 2 weeks’ away, I’m not really that excited about it. I guess the deal is that first of all neither Hong Kong nor Singapore are playing in it (I know that’s almost impossible), and secondly I’m not subscribed to Cable TV which is the sole broadcaster of the tournament, so it makes watching the tournament a bit more difficult. Well, I guess I’ll probably have to make do with watching daily highlights, or worse still, just watch out for the scores from the news.

That said, I still hope South Korea do well in the World Cup. I know they probably aren’t going to win the World Cup (though stranger things have happened so I’ll not rule out completely their chances), but I guess if they can reach the last 8 it would be a massive result for them. Now that I would not be heading to South Africa to watch the World Cup – I’ve managed to get rid of all the tickets that I’ve bought – the next best option would perhaps be heading to South Korea to watch with the Korean fans!
