GREECE won the Euro 2004. Man, its unbelievable, truly truly unbelievable. They are really the Black Horses and they won the tournament. Guess how I know? Well, I was watching the live game for it! Basically, we didnt get any sleep yesterday at all as at 430am in the morning, we were all in the city at this bar watching the game. We all decided that since its the holidays we can afford to not sleep for a day and stuff. But the last train for Sunday night was 1040pm, which was way too early but we had little choice. So packed with all our 'entertainment' things(music, books, mags, tim tams, museli bars, water, jacket, etc) we set out to take the last train into the city. When we reached the city, the whole city was almost dead. It was sad to see the city dead at 1145pm, totally no life at all. Somehow makes me wonder whether Australians go out at all, I mean they have to right? They have all these pubs which are all not open at all, wonder what they are there for. So anyway, since we had like 4 and 1/2 hours to kill, we decided to go to Cybercity which closes at 2am to have supper. What was scary was that everyone ordered a full meal. I mean we just had dinner at 7pm? Then suddenly, supper at 12am. Scary but true. Had a truly satisfying meal, hung around the place till 2am where they had to kick us out. Somehow that description sounded bad and really really sad. So after that, we had no where to go except to go to the casino which was where we wanted to watch the game. When we reached there, it was still early(230am). Had another 2 hours to kill. Bummed around at all these jackpot machines playing 1cent games. So we had like 100credits for a dollar. To kill time you know? So well, Andrew managed to win like $4 which paid for his train ticket home and a bag of chips. It was all good, then we decided to sit in the bar in the casino. Suddenly the place was teeming with people, we had no seats and had to go to the bar outside in Queens Street Mall to settle down. Luckily they showed the game as well, or else we would have came to the city in vain and that would be quite sad as there were no trains running home till about 6am in the morning. So no booze was allowed after 2am and everyone settled for hot mochas, and hot chocolates and stuff. Last night was pretty warm, thank goodness. First half was boring, I nearly fell asleep, had to buy coffee for the 2nd half. But the game got more exciting in the 2nd half. I havent watched soccer since I was in J2 when it was the world cup. But anyway, it was an ok game I guess though its abit disappointing that Greece won and not Portugal. Abit sad I guess but anyway after the game we were all stoned. Everyone slept on the train home. Came home, headed straight for the room, washed up abit and fell into the beds and slept till 4pm today. Dont know why, think I'm out of practice for thorn-ing already, I still feel tired or perhaps I slept too much? No idea but probably my body clock is abit warped.
Anyway, enough about soccer fever, the State of Origin game is on this Wednesday. I hope Queensland win. By the way, that's a rugby game. And books in Aussie is blardy expensive and I've 7 texts to buy. What the hell.. Out to fleece our money, I'm pretty sure of that. Anyways, think I'll go to bed soon, oh wait, got to do laundry and bathe. Argh..
