Did anyone watch the State of Origin game 2 last night? I did and I have to say that it was pretty boring!! Of course, I was happy to see the Maroons thrashing the Blues but honestly it was not something that I had expected. I expected it to be more exciting, a neck and neck battle between them. I have watched State of Origin twice so far but even I with little experience could tell that the Blues were no match for the Maroons. 'They are not a team.' , this is what Gori's sister said very disappointedly. ( She was supporting the Blues because she was born in NSW.) I totally agreed with her. They didn't have any strategies or plans, I even felt that I wasn't sure whether or not they really wanted to win!! It must have been extremely humiliating for them to lose 5 Origin series straight. I do feel sorry for the players because I think they could have played better if their selectors hadn't swapped some of the players at the last minute! They shouldn't have done that! Their fan must be devastated or even sick of it now. Anyway I had a good time last night, having dinner with Gori's family and the lamb roast was very yummy and tender, the upside-down cake with ice cream that we had for dessert was gorgeous and most of all, Gori and his dad were chuffed about the victory.

Gori has been watching Rugby Union Test match on TV. I really don't understand it (^^;) I definitely prefer Rugby League (NRL) to Rugby Union. I don't even understand the rules of AFL,either. I like NRL because its rules are very simple and straightforward. Having said that, I don't get one of the rules which is forwarding or something. Speaking of footy, State of Origin game 2 is coming up this coming Wednesday, which I am looking forward to. Of course I am on the Maroon(Queensland)side.

Morning. Yesterday Gori and I went to his mum and dad's house and played darts. It was fun! I beat him twice!( Gori gave me a big handicap though^^;) Today is a national holiday called Australia day. It's a national foundation day and seems like they designated this day as national foundation day based on the time when British immigrants ( most of them were prisoners) landed Australia back in 1788, which has not been taken very kindly by Aborigines, who have been inhabiting (×in) this continent since around fifty to sixty thousand years ago. Anyway, I wonder what I want to do today. Oh yes! I'd love to have a swim in the afternoon!
