Went to Changi Airport with the intention of picking up Dad at the Arrival Hall, but wasnt able to make it as we ended slightly later in church.. So, I decided to stay with Plin and Esther. Plin had a survey to conduct for a Geography project regarding food preferences among tourist. While she was interviewing any ang moh she could find, Esther and I took our rounds in Changi Airport, going at the viewing area, and randomly going into shops and picking magazine off the shelves, only to put them back after reading. Finally, when Plin and her Pacar was done, we met up, hang around for a while and then went back. The survey turned out to be rather interesting. They had encountered many people, from a group of giggling Australian girls who stayed for a day in Singapore was ate practically nothing, to a guy claiming that Bangkok's food varsity was better, but will still vote for Singapore due to its Indian Food, to a couple who claims to have come from the "Isle of Mar...." Somewhere.. in the globe i supposed..

Anyway, back to the main topic, I'm writing this blog to give the rugby World Cup updates. Into quarterfinals are 8 teams from 4 pools. They are the All Blacks, Australian Wallabies, The South Africans, England (Oh YEA..!!!!), Fijians (The underdogs), Scots, and 2 unconfirmed lots from either the Pumas(Argentina), France or Ireland.. as of now.

It was a real disappointment Wales were not able to get into the quarter finals, since they should be the better team, but it was also because of the opportunistic Fijians that made their game possible. I would say last night's match of Fijian and Wales was one of the best games I have ever watched as both sides desperately try to win the game. For a full coverage of the match, check it up by clicking here.

As for my favorite team, England, they were fortunate they were able to be in the quarter-finals. With only the help of John Wilkinson, England faces a very tough challenge against Australia in the semi-final qualifications, Australia being a more balanced team. And based on their defeat with South Africa, England stand little chance these world class rugby players. Nevertheless.. England will prevail! Or there's always the All Blacks too at the end of the day.. haha~

Ok, the next match will be on 06 Oct, England vs Australia.. Get ready, Daron, for the Rugby World Cup 2007 is starting to reach its climax..!
