Have a vuvuzela. Not afraid to use it.

...was gifted a vuvuzela on Saturday night by a French friend of mine who grew up in Africa, like I did. When he bought one in South Africa half a year back and brought it home, I was thoroughly entertained and spent the entire night making music haha. He was passing through South Africa recently and bought me one.

Yes!

So of course I had to entertain (read "irritate") football watchers at the pub on Saturday night as we watched the washout that was the Germany-Argentina game. Vuvuzelas at the ready....

It was a productive weekend (I put stuff up for sale on ebay, I hairsprayed clothes from my wardrobe that had rubbed up against crumbling paint (works a treat!), I sealed my wardrobe backing, I did a bicycle ride with Stuart, and we even took some photographs at the beach).

What did you get up to this weekend?

Had a completely relaxing and selfish weekend this weekend. Watched the Sex and the City 2 movie with a girlfriend, enjoyed Guinesses whilst watching the Australia v Ghana soccer game (not happy), and chilled out with Stuart at our favourite beachside coffee haunt. We played around with the settings of my Nikon point'n'shoot and took some random snaps.

What did you guys get up to this weekend?

give me freedom, give me fire

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, unify us, make us feel proud
In the streets our head are liftin', as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us
(excerpt from Wavin Flag lyrics, by K'naan)

I've got the official World Cup 2010 anthem stuck in my head.
I love it so....youtube it if you don't know what I mean.
I've got the fire, got the reason......oooooh woooh hoho.
Supporting the Nederlands (the Dutch part of the family) and Australia (who were shockingly bad!) and generally all African countries (given I was born and raised there).

Any of you as obsessed as my family is about the World Cup?

Gah, must stop singing the World Cup anthem....stoppit.

p.s. anyone check out the Cote D'Ivoire v Portugal match? Impressive play there, Cote D'Ivoire!

Hope you're all doing well and having a good week thus far....ooooh woooh hoho ;)
