Stuck in Singapore with no Free live World Cup!!!!

Misery! Misery! Misery!

Have been here for like 2 months.

So far Singapore stood well in cleanliness, efficiency, free shuttle buses to mall and main stations, but to my dismay, while back home we ahve the choice for free tv and paid tv for world cup, but here we are subjected to PPV (pay per view).

Taken from the FIFA official broadcast partner list.

CONTINENT	COUNTRY	BROADCAST PARTNER	PAY TV
Asia	Malaysia
		Astro	1
		NTV7
		RTM
	Singapore
		StarHub Cable Vision	1

* The free channels, RTM and NTV7 combined to show about 85% live matches. correct me if i am wrong here. Been away too long liao.

Well, if i really want, i can actually walk down to the pubs and watch, no mamaks like malaysia though.

Man, speaking of that really miss mamak ler.

Anyway , i just moved to another hotel today and i heard they are showing all the matched live till like 5am at the restaurant. But it is closed today for some private function. So let's see how tomorrow la.
