Bye Bye World Cup, Bye Bye Zizou.

Of cuz we should be politically correct, and never condone violence. Especially, when it was an act from someone who is an idol and role model for millions around the world. However, we should all forgive him.

Such an 'idiocratic headbutt' does require an 'odious motivation'. The 'Battling Ram of France' had put Emile Heskey to shame! How many of us can say that we will not throw a punch, give a kick, let our body fluid fly, or even react in any way, given such a 'motivation' and under such intense stress to perform? The legend is only human. Players get away with foul words (unless they are words to the man in black - or rather yellow, and sometimes red, heh), but not with foul actions. And I guess action speaks louder than words (and also more obvious on replays). A wireless mic for every player on the field next time? Maybe.

Thank you Zizou for his courage to express his feelings, and entertainment he provided in his final hurrah. Why don't we condemm those foul words and forget 'bout the entertaining headbutt. Afterall, this is World Cup Final, where drama and showmanship are at the highest level on the world's greatest stage.

9 out of 10 shots (lucky for Trezeguet's miss, another 10 more shots I'd not be able to wake up for work on time!) ended behind the net, and nobody balloons the ball (remember the last time Baggio did that for Italy???), I am quite satisfied with the finale. We don't need a villain for headlines to make the ending any more dramatic. Let's move on to the new season of soccer!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
