Wallaby vs Springbok
It has been a week since we return from our trip, and lets just say we are very much settled back into our home-life routines.
I did a little bit of dusting and house keeping, and after that off we went to do our weekly shopping, stocking up the refrigerator! Despite the slightly chilly weather (compare to back in Asia), the weather was fine with beautiful clear blue sky.
Nice to be home again.
However, what made today even a special day, was due to the fact that we had received an invitation to watch the Tri-Nation Rugby match at Subiaco Oval, between Australian Wallaby versus the South African Springbok. And it was a special VIP invitation, meaning we got to sit in the box, with some finger food served during the game! :-) *wheeeee*
When I think of it, it was really amazing how for the past 3 years, I've had slowly absorbing the sporting cultures of the Australian in general, especially when it comes to being a sport events spectator.
Who would have thought I would actually GO to all these games (when we got the invitations most of the time, anyway) and still enjoy the whole experience?!
If there's one thing I could praise the people here, is the fact that how they had made sport as part of their life.
Sports are not exclusive only to the men only, since even the women and the kids could be seen heading for any games, at any given time. It was definitely a family affair here.
And, if they found out if you were totally clueless about the sports (like yours truly here.. hehe), they'd be happy enough to indulge you in their short conversation to explain the basic rules of the games, etc, and try to make sure you are following the whole thing, and enjoying it too..
What, can I say.. I'm so proud of myself.
Now these days, don't be surprised if I actually flicked on the TV channels, just to find out about the outcome of certain footy games, etc.
I think, I'm slowly turning into like any other sports-mad Aussie.
And the fact that some of the Aussie's sportsman are so damn HOT might have something to do about it too!
Oh, by the way, the Wallaby won the rugby match too..
;-)
