Misjudge

Tonight, I read on Jorge Larrionda profile, who is the referee in 2010 World Cup between Germany and England, he misjudged a goal which shot from Lampard and England finally lost to Germany with 1-4. Obviously, that is really a goal and everyone can see it clearly and media did analysis from his angle that he shouldn't misjudge it unless he is "blink". Including the line man, I think they both have eyesight problem by ignoring that ball. Beside the goal from England, referee in 2010 World Cup obviously got problem on their judgement, like games between Argentina vs Mexico and USA vs Slovenia, they both counted or uncounted a goal from what it should be. Also, a lot of diving case in the game and misjudged by referee, especially how Torres' special performance between Spain and Chile, which leaded a Chile player redcarded. If there is replay allowed, this type of cheating skill could be reduced as well. What is professional? I thought World Cup should reach certain sta...

Rose Festivel 061310

Two weeks ago, it's Rose Festivel in Portland which las for about 3 weeks from May 22 to June 12, traditionally Windermere would present a history roses tour to people who love to celebrate the season of floral, honourly we were able to join them. Actually, there was a Rose Festival Parade would line up in Portland town on June 12, but we just too tired to join the crowd for that as we had experienced it at a week before with Starlight Parade, the Portland town was just congested with a lot of people until we all found hard to move, therefore we chose June 13 for our tour and we chose a few locations from History Roses Tour list for sightseeing: Pioneer Courthouse Square, Peninsula Park and Pittock Mansion. Every year when summer arrived, Pioneer Courthouse Square, the living room of Portland would be renovated with a lot of beautiful flowers, which made the Square looks different than what it was during other time, I pretty loved it. Our next destination is Peninsula Park, we didn...

World Cup Hollywood

After all group matches finished by today, I just felt soccer game actually kind of funny, it is just like a stage of Hollywood show, many players are acting on the field, especially those pretending injured or been "touched" by oppenents for getting some advantage for themselves, such as redcarded the opponents or getting a free/penalty kick. Among so many players, I think Torres from Spain (numbe 9) and Christiana Ronaldo from Portugal (number 7), I would say they are most entertaining and untrustable players in feild. As what I saw what Ronaldo did on Rooney backed to last World Cup and how Torres "performed" today to Chile, they are really good "actors" in soccer feild. How can they fall down on ground when their opponents didn't even touch them? I am pretty curious with how fragile they are, don't they know they are actually just on camera? Even though refeerees are blinked on how they acted, they can never escape from camera and just be a jok...

disappointment

After Friday, I am actually quite dissapointed with England's performance in World Cup, the country actually is the strongest team in the group but they just got it draw after two games with USA and Algreia, it is really unexpected performance. Honestly, I still supported England team after four years but they just make me felt dissapointed, the team just seem cannot perform well to win and I think they also got difficulty to advance to the next stage. Perhaps, it is a sign to tell me to stop my hope on English? Because they always to be so unexpected :P

A successful game

This evening, SL and I just discussed what was happened to us same time last year, when we were still seperated in two different countries. Then, I just remembered that I was addicted to a game that time because we had too much free time then. What is the game? It is "Restaurant City" from facebook. After a year, I still constantly visit the same game now, which mean we were on it for at least a year now, therefore I would say it is quite a successful game. At first, we were in Farm Town, but we gave it up half way to Restaurant City, which we didn't stop at there. I think Playfish is quite sucessful to create the game, the game doesn't need too much maintainance now and I only needed to spend a little time to refresh it, then it can continue to "alive", I prefer on this type of game :D There we need a lot of creative to create something special which can attract a lot of consumers to support it, else it will vanish in one day. This all is about business, we...

History learning

I think that we can learn some history for world cup, do you still remember that is a country played in World Cup many years ago? which is Yugoslavia, however we don't see it now, but Serbia and Slovekia. That day, SL was curious what are Serbia and Slovekia? Because he didn't see this name before but it just appeared in world cup now, then he found out they are actually two countries from Yugoslavia after some wars happened in the country. After the war, Yugoslavia just broke down and splited into a lot of small countries, Serbia and Slovekia are two of them. Previously, I just thought world is peace in Europe, but I know I was wrong because they still involved in war, war will just happen everywhere when different ideas and over eager, no matter is it Europe or Asia.

World Cup Preparation ^^

World Cup start firing now and my hubby is one of the supporter, therefore I just put every crazy thing that we do recently under world cup preparation :P Such as what we did yesterday ^^ Few days ago, I got to know from some friends about offer from Target on Haagen.Daaz, Nestle or Dreyer's ice cream, you can get a five dolar gift card when you buy five of them, which mean I can get one at two bucks, well I need to buy five, but it is still cheaper than regular price. Therefore I would like to try if the offer is valid to my area and I got five boxes :P haha, it is enough for a month supply during world cup period ^^ Later at the night, I tried to make a cheesecake, it was my second making and I was kind of fail at the first trial few months ago, taste was nice but it just doesn't look beautiful to me. Then, I got some BKMs from my youngest sister, who baked a quite successful cheesecake two weeks ago, finally I got a cheesecake which still fulfilled my requirement (though I ...
