Once every four years, I
will devote myself into watching 22 men chasing after a ball. My favourite 11
man are from Argentina. I’m not sure what it is about them but I can’t bring
myself to support any other team beside La Albiceleste.
Perhaps because I was born in year 1978, the year they lifted their first ever
World Cup. As for this year, I was hoping they would make it to the final since
last meeting Germany in the 1990 finals and lost to the Die Mannschaft.

After an emotional
semi-finals victory against Netherlands, Argentina had to face the German
machine. Damn! For sure will be an explosive match so I was looking out for a
happening viewing party to enjoy the game with my friends. Tak bestlar lepak
mamak je kan?
Next thing I know, I got
invited for Dominos Football Final Viewing Party at Tropicana Gold and Country
Resort. Say what??? Free flow of pizza while lounging on bean bags with
eyes glued to the big screen. Not only that, before the official kick off time
at 3 am, awesome people of Domino’s had prepared tonnes fun activities for the
footie fans. Jeng jeng jeng
The moment we walked into
the venue, we had our picture snapped and printed on the spot. Ongoing with
Domino’s Instagram photo contest, called ‘Bear-A-Selfie’. The winner of the
contest gets to score an iPad Mini when they ‘pose’ with ‘Popobe Bola Bears’ and
tag their picture #BolaBears. Apa lagi? Jom selfie banyak-banyak.
Football! Friends! |
Cute ey? |
After registering our
names, we joined all the fun activities, Human Foosball, Soccer Pong, and Hit
The Goalie. Heck, my Human Foosball team
even ‘won’ a match and were rewarded with Domino’s pizza voucher! Soon after we
were treated to tasty, yummy and delicious Domino’s Pizzaaaaaaaaaa!!! Apa lagi?
Jom serangggggggggg!!! Nom nom nom while being entertained by host of the
event, C.Loco and Hollie.
nom nom nom..... |
Score bang jangan tak score!!! |
Mani in action yo!!! |
After some fun Q&A
session to win more goodies, Hasfahlinda Hassan, Senior Manager, Marketing
Domino’s Pizza Malaysia & Singapore made her welcome speech. The guests
were listening to her while munching their pizza away happily. Domino’s totally
hit ‘home run’ with their ‘More Pizza More Football’ campaign by the look of
the joyful faces.
Soon after it was the
moment of truth, after losing sleep for almost a month, it was time to crown
the new World Champion. First half of the game was nail biting yet no goals
were scored. During the half time break, we were served with food for ‘sahur’.
I wallaped roti jala and was ready to face the second half of the game. Upon
completion of 90 minutes full time, both teams couldn’t break the deadlock. It
was nerve wrecking when extra time came on. All-time top scorer for the World
Cup, Miroslav Klose came off to be replaced by Mario Gotze. Oh….how I wish the
switch was not made as the game almost went on to penalty kick decider, Gotze exploded
a powerful kick passed Romero in the 113th minute.
Adoiiiiiiiii…..what a heartbreaker man!
Happy Germany supporters! Bluek! |
Despite the sad result for
my team, I had a great time spending it with my friends. They were happy
because their team won. Oh well…at least my tummy is full of Domino’s Pizza and
head full of delightful memories to look back during the next World Cup. Joining
Domino’s Football Viewing Party was totally is unique experience for me. I
can’t thank Domino’s enough for making my viewing a memorable one for a long
time coming. I look forward to join more exciting happening in the future.
