I did it again.

England's out. Brazil's out. And France and Italy are in the finals.

Not so surprising for England since Beckham got injured and Rooney was sent off. But Brazil out in the quarter finals? That was a shock to me cos I'd conveniently forgotten that France won in '98. At that time I had no enthusiasm for football whatsoever and in 2002 when I had an inkling of interest, France didn't even make it to top 16, so I'd assumed they weren't too good.

Oh. Beckham has quit as England's captain. I guess it's the right decision after leading England for 5 years, though I wish he did it in happier times i.e. when England are in the finals or win the Cup.

Why didn't Rooney keep his temper in check? WHY? Actually I blame Cristiano Ronaldo for being such a big kaypoh and trying to interfere with the referee's decision. Rooney might not have gotten the red card otherwise, but it's a BIG might. Rooney is supposed to be England's most lethal player and in a second of anger, he's gone. How can England win like that?! Through a penalty shootout? I think not, since the commentator mentioned that England have lost every penalty shootout in the World Cup except one (correct me if I'm wrong cos I don't really remember). True enough they lost this one too. Good thing France beat Portugal in the semis and Germany won them to get the bronze. That'll show Ronaldo.

Now if you're reading the tirade above and thinking that I'm one of those girls who pretends to know football but actually doesn't, I'd just like to clarify that I don't know the intricacies but I know enough to scrape by.

Okay enough of the beautiful game and on to my 1-day nursing attachment to KK Women's and Children's Hospital on Friday. It really opened my eyes to what nurses actually do and the toughness of the job. I think a lot of nurses have the knowledge of doctors but are so underappreciated just because many think all they do are the unimportant, menial tasks. Those 6 hours I spent at the hospital weren't enough to see everything but I did get a glimpse. And...I think I've chosen the right career. Of course, I haven't seen all the gruesome stuff yet but it'll come and I hope I'm prepared for it.

Something else I read over the week: the WB are folding up. The network that brought me some of my favourite shows in the world like 7th Heaven, Buffy and Angel is merging with UPN to form CW. I don't know what CW stands for cos the article didn't say.

Well that's all folks!

If I could, then I would, I'd go wherever you will go
