Malaysia Won?
Please do ignore the teeny weeny hint of skepticism in the title. xD
I was never a fan of football.
But since this year's World Cup, I've become a reformed football-hater :)
After the World Cup fever died down though, there were no more matches that I could get excited about. I mean, for a person without Astro, I was certainly left with few (to zip) options. There weren't many games aired on terrestrial TV was there? >.<
Anyhow, I was just on FB, and the Facebook-sphere is abuzz again, this time, with the news that our very own Malaysian football team has just won the AFF-Suzuki Cup in the match against Indonesia with a score of 2-1; the win secured by Muhammad Ridwan's goal in the breath-catching 87th minute !
(I didn't watch the game. This is what I had gathered from an in-depth scrutiny of all the FB statuses of friends ! haha :P)
You know what I noticed?
Suddenly everyone's proud to be a Malaysian.
Funny, since nobody was shouting it out on their FB statuses before.
And never, since the catch-phrase first caught on, has "Malaysia Boleh !" been uttered in such sarcastic-free manners ! xD
Well, to be frank, I feel no strong emotion for this win. I guess, my response could be summed up as, "Hm, Malaysia won? Not bad."
I'm sorry I can't muster up more enthusiasm for this historical win and ultimate proud moment for the country. I never followed the progress of our Malaysian team before this. It would be weird to be crowing about it now. =.=
The only thing I'm really enthusiastic about is the fact that this Friday has been declared a public holiday as a result of the truly historical win ! whoohooooo~ :D
Okay, okay. I'll at least give you this:
