Ae Tiring Day

I went to temasek club with my family and cousin. I played basketball for 1&half hour and then went swimming for another 40mins. I didnt know that swimming was so much more tedious than jogging. I was already trying to catch my breath after swimming 1 lap. Swimming really exercises your arm muscles and prepare you for doing chin-ups. I was completely exhausted after the basketball game and swimming...
The club's pretty small and probably should have a bowling alley and more lounges like the Safra Country Club.

OK, now for Euro 2004! :D
England did exceptionally well yesterday against Switzerland. Wayne Rooney was at his best when he headed in a goal from Michael Owen cross and smashed the ball so hard that the ball rebounded off the goalkeeper's hands and went in. Steven Gerrard score a final third one to demolish the Swiss 3-0.

However, France could only manage a 2-2 draw with Croatia. France took the lead after Igor Tudor tapped in an own goal from Zidane's free-kick. Later, Mikael Silvestre pushed Rosso in the box and conceded yet another penalty. Rapaic converted the penalty into a goal and leveled the score. Dado Prso then scored a magnificent goal after French Defender Marcel Desailly made a bad clearance.
The 4th goal was a controversial one. David Trezeguet clearly handled the ball when Tudor made a poor backpass which rebounded off the keeper and hit Trezeguet's hand. Trezeguet then scored the open-goal.
France got lucky for the second time in this European tournament - after scoring 2 last minute goals against England. Should the poor form of France continues, it'd be unlikely that they will advance all the way to the Euro 2004 finals on 4th July.

The excitement still continues in Euro 2004 when Bulgaria takes on Denmark and Italy versus Spain.

KzR signing off, have a good weekend ahead!
