For England (and Brazil who lost to France 1-0) that is. England has crashed out of the World Cup after their Euro Nemesis Portugal beat them in a penalty shoot-out, 3-1. Once again, it was the talent of Portugal's goalkeeper Ricardo denying Englands entry into the semi-finals. There were a lot of tears on the England team, and on the fan's too. Better luck next time lads and of course, farewell to Sven.
I personally think we should give Ricardo a honoury British Citizenship so he can play for England next time! He's just bloody good!
We visited David's (a colleague of mine) place on Friday night. Their family's house is MASSSIVE! We was in awe when we stepped through the front and saw a 55-inch greeting us! We got a tour of the house (a proper tour, because the apartment was that big) and we tucked into some KFC and Pizza from Dominos. After the feast we then engaged into some Street Fighter action on the PS2 (thanks Mike!) on the massive TV, it was heaven! There also some shenanigans regarding a young lady, Pei-jun, who we met at David's house too. David says she's an old school friend, but we think there is more to the story. She was very hospital and nice towards us too, and look after us well, serving fruit and all! Thanks to Pei-jun too! She's studying Art in New York and has returned to Taiwan recently for the Summer break. It was a fun night, and thanks again David, for inviting us!
Over the weekend, Amelie and Chien-yu got their hair cut at one of the local salons for the Summer. The heat is on the border of "Oven Hot" right now, not sure whether I can last long out there. Amelie can now say a lot of things now and have started to string more words together. She can say things like "I want", "don't want" in Mandarin, she knows where her cheeks are when we say "cheek cheek?" and where her nose, ear, belly and feet are. I think she can understand a lot now, in all 3 languages, Mandarin, Cantonese and English, although she still have a little difficult talking. Its probably due to many languages being spoken in the house! Nevermind, we'll let her take her time. Amelie has had a couple of nasty mosquito/insect bites on her legs. Not very nice indeed, so we are keeping close eye on Amelie so that she doesn't scratch and spread the infection. Right now she's watching her favourite DVD, Miffy and Friends. Lord help me!
We getting ready for Klaus wedding gig at Capone's tonight in Taipei. Will tell you more tomorrow!
