Well, Mahe Drysdale (And I mean, this guy is incredible) goes back to back in the men's single sculls here in Rio to claim New Zealand's 2nd gold medal just like Hamish Bond & Eric Murray (And also, these guys are incredible) did in the men's pair but what about the finish, it's shades of the Evers-Swindell twins in Beijing 8 years ago but how about it? How about it! Commiserations for Valerie Adams as her challenger Michelle Carter of the USA snatched it right to the death in the shot put to steal the gold ending her chances of a hat-trick of gold medals as she joins Natalie Rooney, the New Zealand women's sevens team, Luuka Jones, the men's team sprint consisting of Eddie Dawkins, Ethan Mitchell & Sam Webster & the Women's coxless pair of Genevieve Behrent & Rebecca Scown as Silver medalists.
It was on Tuesday that I wished my half-brother Jansen a happy birthday because he is now officially a teenager because he is 13 now but Dad took me to watch Jansen play basketball & guess who was there! It was Poppa but Jansen's team lost so Pops took me to Spice Guru to have an Indian meal there for dinner because I probably had a chicken tikka masala for a main course with basmati rice & a garlic cheese naan but the dessert that I had was a birthday cake that I had but Dad took me home ending a great night it was.
2 days later, I went to the pool at the Splash Centre with Pops, then we went to New World to get the meal deal which was a bit unhealthy as well as getting more mochacchino, cold meat & Clausthaler beer, then we went to 15A Kells Avenue for lunch because we had Asian for lunch x dinner since I had an Italian on Wednesday night & then we did some jobs such as installing the lights for the garden then we had a dessert after that before we headed to Nan's grave & then back here in my flat to end a wonderful day it was.
And then 2 days later, Pops picked me up here to go to 15A Kells Avenue to prepare for lunch x dinner because Leon, Hanne & that Malaysian princess of Sophie were about to arrive & they did because I greeted Leon & Hanne 1st before I had to embrace my Malaysian friend Sophie because I have never seen her for like 9 long years! (That is a long time ago not in a galaxy far far away). So anyway, Pops has told the visitors to look at Nan's memorial garden before we start having our lunch or dinner so we had chicken casserole before having dessert and then afternoon tea but we did chat & I once told Sophie that she liked my glasses as well as my signature/trademark long locks or should I say rock star hair (That's just why because I'm into the alternative rock/heavy metal environment) because my Dad once looked like a rastafarian because he once had dreadlocks back in the day (Well I showed a photo of them) as well as she likes both her sister Amelia & brother Jason & of course that her greatest moment of her life was meeting me (Although she is heading back home on the 29th of August but I told her when will I see her next, she would come back to Wanganui once she gets a job in Auckland but the greatest moment of my life has to be the All Black's Rugby World Cup victories of 2011 & 2015 because we mastered the art of the sport 3 times in 1987 & the 2 that I've mentioned before) & I also told her that I thought Sophie was my only Asian friend but I have just found out that I have 2 Asian friends, 1 is Sophie & the other is John Coburn's partner Lim Chin Keong because Lim comes from KL in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia's capital) because I know where Sophie comes from because she hails all the way from Penang.
And Pops told the 3 visitors that he talked about her long lost daughter Cathey Middelplaats because Nan had a baby but she had no idea how to look after her but the Middelplaats family adopted her then several years later Cathey gave birth to her daughter which is my cousin, Paige Williams because several years later, Paige had to be graduated for her Bachelor of Commerce studies at the Victoria University in Wellington & it's been about a decade that Cathey had been together with her husband John Mitchell and gave birth to 2 sons Nico & Luca which are my other cousins as well as Paige's little brothers because Pops took me there to have breakfast the day after the All Blacks versus Wales clash.
And then all of a sudden, one of Poppa's niece Nufemmia once worked at HSBC because I'll tell you a funny story that Pops told Leon, Hanne & this time Sophie a great joke again about Uncle Wal being several stone had to look like a Buddha because he was getting hot during his trip to see the Terracotta warriors in China, LOL! (OMG it's so funny).
And I once told Leon, Hanne & Sophie what they were doing 20 years ago so Leon was in Wellington (He was 47 way back then because he is now 67 years old) while Hanne was here because she went to polytech & what was Sophie been doing when she was 6 years old? (Although she is now 26 years old) She had to go to pre school because the starting school age in Malaysia was 7 (Compared to 5 in New Zealand) & I was telling Leon that the brand new football/soccer season in England or especially Europe (Including France) was on so I was wearing Liverpool/Manchester United colors rather than Chelsea/Leicester City colours (And that's why because Sophie's favourite color is blue because her favourite colour is the same as mine & she has been to Old Trafford before because someone had asked anyone that they must keep off the football pitch) so I told him that both Paul Pogba of France & the recently retired Swedish international of Zlatan Ibrahimovic that they've joined FA Cup champions Manchester United because Manchester United have got England (Who lost to Iceland in a famous upset during the round of 16 in the Euros) captain Wayne Rooney, recently retired German international Bastian Schweinsteiger & France's Anthony Martial & they did win the FA Community Shield against English Premier League champions Leicester City coached/managed by Italian Claudio Ranieri & consisting of club captain from Jamaica Wes Morgan, Peter Schmiechel's son Kasper as well as Jamie Vardy & I also told him that the Euros was over because the Cristiano Ronaldo (Who still plays for European club champions Real Madrid along with Gareth Bale of Wales) led Portugal beat hosts France 1 - 0 during extra time to be crowned European champions & Lionel Messi (Who still plays for the world's best football/soccer club FC Barcelona along with Brazil's Neymar (Who is leading his country's under 23 men's team at the Olympics & 1 of 3 over aged players), Uruguay's Luis Suarez, club captain Andres Iniesta of Spain, Shakira's husband Gerard Pique, Turkey's Arda Turan, Croatia's Ivan Rakitic & Chile's Copa America winning goalkeeper Claudio Bravo) retiring from the international fold following his side's loss against Chile in the final of the Copa America Centenario & I also told him that I'm a rugby mad fan because he is a football/soccer mad person & Slovakian captain Martin Skrtel joining Turkish club Fenerbahce from Leon's beloved fan of the club, Liverpool (You'll never walk alone coached by German Jurgen Klopp & well, I'm a beloved fan of the Super Rugby franchise, the Hurricanes because they won the Super Rugby title since forming it's establishment 21 years ago) as well as young Portuguese footballer/soccer player Renato Sanches now playing for German club Bayern Munich (Which features the likes of Brazilian born Spanish international Diego Costa, Holland's Arjen Robben, Germany's Thomas Muller & Poland's Robert Lewandowski) & I told everyone that I made a great speech about the curse of the World Cup defeat way back in 2003 which is about the All Blacks campaigns of both 1999 & 2003 are ruined by a movie called Anaconda (A movie starring Jennifer 'JLo' Lopez, rapper Ice Cube & Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight) but I can't remember it now during the speech & I did get it at the end of the speech, trust me & I told Sophie about the famous Malaysian people such as Lee Chong Wei, Alex Yoong & Michelle Yeoh.
And after the long discussion, I told Sophie to have a selfie with her & she constantly agreed so the selfie was taken & she took another one for me & the last one in the car before I headed back home so I had to officially say goodbye to Hanne & Leon as well as Sophie because I had to embrace her again & I told her that I love her & she said that she loves me too so awwwww...so cute, huh & I once told her that her favourite food is sushi because mine is Italian which is both pasta & pizza because she does eat a bit of pizza so I said goodbye to Poppa so Leon, Hanne & Sophie took me home to end a wonderful day it was & I had pasta for dinner after Valerie Adams won silver in the women's shot put, how disappointing.
