Manic Monday

I can't believe it. I've been running the BitDefender online scanner for the past 4 hrs 40 mins and it's still not quite done yet. According to the window that I'm seeing, there's still like 2 hrs 50 mins left. Argh!

That's alright. By that time, the second half of the World Cup round of 16 match between the Socceroos and Italy would have started and I'll continue my fight against the evil malwaresters tomorrow.

In related news, Barcelona, one of the biggest soccer teams on this planet is eyeing Lucas Neill of Australia. Apparently, his gung ho display for the Socceroos have been rather impressive.

A bit of extra information here, Neill's father moved to Australia from Northern Ireland 30 years ago and since Northern Ireland is not in the current World Cup, a lot of its people are supporting Australia because of Lucas Neill.

Another Neill and Northern Irishman is involved in the future of the Socceroos - Martin O'Neill. Now this guy, previously of English soccer team Leicester, bringing it from the lower leagues to the Premier League before moving to Celtic of Scotland and leading his new club to many trophies; has been linked to replace Golden Guus Hiddink who is moving on to the Russian coaching job after the World Cup.

Trouble is, Sunderland of England also wants this guy. Personally, I couldn't think of a better guy to replace Golden Guus. These are two of the best guys who have experience in turning a bunch of misfits into something no one imagines them to be. Hopefully he picks Australia.

In other news, Assyakirin Mosque of Taman Jurong, just next to FNS 399, just called to ask me to come down for an interview on Wednesday for the Operations Executive job I applied for.

I'm still hoping the [removed] thing materializes but it doesn't hurt to attend any interview that comes along the way to find out more about the job. It's just an interview. Nothing's being confirmed yet.
