football, anyone?

the English are coming!

well, not actually! even though they are English in name, Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea football clubs have more foreign players each compared to home-grown ones. even the respective managers & majority shareholders aren't English!

no matter. the fact that they will each play a malaysian selection here in KL should be enough to stir interest from both supporters & football neutrals. so B8 & i are bringing 3 of our boys for the arsenal game on july 13. it's on a weekday, so to me, it's a surprise the 2 wives agreed to let the boys go, considering the match will end past their bedtimes.

no matter. the boys are especially thrilled. now they can watch in real-life the stars they adore on-screen. i will be using the ticket as a bargaining chip - i'm certain the boy will do whatever he can in order not to forfeit the chance to watch the game live.

















so, i can expect him to be extra hardworking, exceptionally helpful in the house & exhibit good behaviour. someone mentioned these carrot-and-stick disciplinary methods are outdated.

you think??

Thank God nobody had to use that carrot-and-stick disciplinary method with me, so I grew up fine. I might have grown up learning 'conditional love' which will be hard to unlearn. PHEW!

I prefer World Cup. Last live match I went was seeing adult burly size men running after one ball RUGBY. Have FUN, rock the stadium like how MU fans did last time :d

Yvonne,

my father used the carrot-and-stick method with me, & i'm fine with that as well.
