For the last weekend (second one of 2011), we were at the Asian Cup 2011 FAN ZONE at Aspire Park.
As it is during this time of the year, the climate was awesome and the boys had a great time running around the park and playing football with other kids.Both Kevin and Yohan got their face painted. Kevin who was still reeling under the effects of last weeks zoo visit, got a tiger done and Yohan got a ‘banini’ (spiderman). Again, for the nth time, the lady doing the face painting mistook Yohan for a girl and was proposing to paint a Butterfly or Barbie on his face!!
We had another one of our first time snack – the ‘Chips on Sticks’ from the Chipstix cart within the Fan Zone. It is a large potato cut into a spiral on a stick, deep fried and seasoned with herbs and masalas etc. Nice treat for the kids, which packs in a whopping 300+ calories.
Finally, we were at the Samsung – Fan Café, where I and Kevin took part in the ‘Cheer for your team’ contest, where we were asked to shout out a cheer for our team into a Samsung Galaxy Tab and we did it with a whopping 153 decibels screaming out ‘INDIAAAAAA’. The highest was 154 decibels. Anyways, our shout doesn’t seem to have done any wonders for the Indian team which was out after the pool matches losing all their games and a goal deficit of ten after three matches.The shouting exercise took me back to those first two 'Maro Ree' years at CREC. India's exploits at the field let me conclude that "The Indian team in the Asian Cup is only as good as the Bloody Vampires or the CNC in any of the Monsoon Cup Tournaments at CREC".
