Paul the Octopus had successfully predicted the winning team 7 times in a row. Will he predict the winner correctly for the final too although Germany is in not involved? I hope so. Because Panda (that's me!) had predicted the same too. Haha!
Today I did an experiment. Or rather my friends did an experiment on me.
I was asked to choose between an egg tart and a siew bao. (Please google siew bao if you do not know what is that. I have to keep this post short! LOL!)
My friend used the egg tart to represent Spain and the siew bao to represent Netherlands. Of course they did not tell me about it.
I chose the egg tart. Cos I actually prefer egg tart to siew bao.
And I was told by my friend I had picked Spain as the World Cup champion. Wow! Didn't know I, the Panda had the power of Paul the Octopus too! Haha!!
Anyway, today's post will be short and sweet. A slight departure from my usual long winded posts since I am posting this at 4.30am in the morning while watching Netherlands and Spain battling it out at the World Cup Finale!
OK, do you notice something different with my blog? Yes? No?
There are 4 things I added to my blog.
1. Well, for those of you who are not very observant (read could not care less), I have a new favicon! Don't know what is a favicon? OK, read my old post on Favicon. Do you see that icon next to my blog's URL at the top of the screen? Well, that's my favicon.
2. Do you see the green Retweet button on the top right corner of this post? If you tweet, you can click on the Retweet button to retweet my post. If you do not tweet, why not start signing up with Twitter now? It's so fun!!
3. Do you see the blue thumb icon and the word Like button at the bottom of this post? Well, if you like my post, please click on it! Of course, you would need to sign up with Facebook to do so. If you are not with Facebook, why not sign up today? Perhaps you want to put this Like button in your blog as well!
4. Lastly, do you see the Share button next to the Comments right at the bottom of the post? If you like my post, feel free to bookmark it or share it with online social networks like Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit etc.
The only problem is I do not know how to place this Share button in the middle instead of sticking so close to the Comments link. Anyone can help me here?
Note: The World Cup Final had just ended. Spain is the Champion!! OMG! Paul the Octopus got it right 8 times in a row!! And I got it right too! Haha! Now if you still think that is coincidence, I don't know what else to say! I am going to celebrate this by taking my Monday off! Woohoo!!

No need to predict la. Don't you think the Spanish are better players? :)
What if Paul got it wrong? Would it end up on someone's plate?
Dude, i never have doubt about Paul the Octopus on predicting the result. But for your case it just coincidence coz you are not panda... bluek~
Yeay!! Spain won!!! But it was a very tight game.. Nevertheless, I have to say Spain's a deserving winner.. :) And the octopus's predictions are 100% accurate for this World Cup I think!

Ah...you have the power of the octopus. ^_^ Now, you can perceive us even though you do not see us.
Wow, you have new add ons on your blog. I want to put those buttongs too, but I don't know how. Help please...
Enjoy reading blogs? Instead of passively taking in all the good information, spread your personal brand by commenting on them.
Stylish playing, Spain. Am glad they won.
Good marketing tools, Foong. I see you're really into tweeting. Something like eat tweet, sleep tweet, think tweet, play tweet?! LOL!
What are three ways evolutionary theory can predict which species of the panda will become extinct?
Hahaha :D So you were totally glued to the TV too?

Congratulation for predicting the winner of the soccer World Cup. So you are now into a new trade. There is a great opportunity for you as Paul have taken retirement. Best of luck. Ha ha ha. Thanks for this funny post. Bye.
mariuca, congrats FC!! Yes I'm celebrating on Monday! : )

caroline ng, I thought this share button is not from bloggers right?
monica, me too prefer Tong Kee's egg tarts! : )
lina, you bet on Netherlands? How much you lost? Haha!
mei teng, what makes you think the Spanish are the better players? I thought you don't watch football! Haha.
If Paul got it wrong, he would be eaten : )
congrats to Spain. the octopus RULES!
To prep the octopus for cooking, you will need to remove the beak, this you will find on the underside dead center. Be careful; its kind of sharp. Use a knife, and cut around it to loosen. Now here is the trick, make sure you have it pointing away from you.
