Football Mad Nation

My non-Malaysian Exec. Director asked me this, "Why is it that even though this country is not playing in the World Cup, productivity is low during World Cup season?"

My answer, "Even when it's not World Cup season, productivity is still low, Sir."

He raised an eyebrow, "Yeah...But it's worse during World Cup."

Anyway, the post before this came via e-mail from my dearly beloved boyfriend who, besides being a workaholic is also a football-a-holic. Having studied England for 5 years and worked in Ireland for another 5, naturally he considers himself to be a bonafide EPL fan. Which for some reason seems to translate itself into being a World Cup fan-atic...Go figure.

I'm not exactly a football fan. But I'll watch Spain, France and Italy. (And perhaps Japan, for the sake of nostalgia). And it's got nothing to do with the game. Plus, I certainly refuse to have my world revolve around the sport.

But that doesn't change the fact that I'll be single and available again from 9th June to 9th July this year...

Oh well...Here's to World Cup 2006!
