Busy, busy, busy...

You may think that after the exams, life would be more relaxed. Wrong! In fact, it's gotten just a tad bit more hectic. Though it's not exam-related-hectic, thank God for that!

The International Trade Challenge, ITC for short, is part of the YE programme that is currently ongoing. The perk is: grand prize is worth US$2,000! Now, isn't that motivating or not!

Of course, prize money aside, the road to the 2K is quite a long and tedious journey. So better start sowing the seeds if it's a good harvest we are looking for. And we are!

Hmmm...speaking on the ongoing EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, I just can't believe that the Dutch got eliminated by the Russians! Let's see now, Germany kicked the crap out of Portugal, so they're in the semis, facing Turkey, who also outscored the Croats in penalties (3-1, would you believe that!). And now Russia will face either Italy or Spain, whoever that wins tonight's crunch match in Ernst Happoel Stadium, Austria.

Personally, I hope the Spaniards will make it throught to the semis. Let's hope that Torres, Villa and co. will bring their scoring boots along and send the Italians home! Fingers crossed!

PS: Christopher Paolini's last book (presumely) of the Inheritance trilogy is finally coming out! Yay! After such a long wait, this better be good, Mr. Paolini!

your wishes came through this morning. Spain won by penalties, 4-2. Casillas save 2 penalties. I reckon, Germany versus Spain in the final.
