another one bites the dust

as expected, world cup outing boiled down to me and dt, but that ain't gonna stop us! decided to head down to nus staff club which xl recommended. it costs 2 bucks a match inclusive of a drink but we managed to sneak pass heh the atmosphere was fantastic with the match being shown on a huge projector screen with decent speakers.we reached at around 1050 but all the seats were taken, so we stood aside and watched the 1st half of the england/portugal match. quite boring though the 1st match. half-time we met xl and her friend.
so for the 2nd half, we changed our positions. found a table lying around and so we set it up and ended up with great seats for the game. the game expectedly ended with a penalty shoot out and ricardo became the hero of portugal with his impressive saves. after the match headed down to west coast mac to get some food. the place was crowded too and the tv looks so much smaller compared to the projector screen so we went back to the staff club after having our fill.

Brazil vs France, many expected brazil to win but seems like france is their nemesis. the french deserved to win though with zidane showing his true powers unlike his previous game. barthez only had a few saves to make. looks like it will be a finals between germany and france this time.

as the match was going on, a follow- up research study was done at the same time. Hypothesis: There is no difference between lectures and world-cup matches in inducing sleep in dt. constant factors include air conditioned indoor area, lecture theatre seats. an initial photo of the subject was taken prior to the match as seen below. the subject looks awake and excited to catch the game.
half an hour later...
the subject was seen nodding and swaying away in an uncontrolled manner. there was no response to visual signals. these are sufficient to prove that the subject is in deep sleep. P-value is >0.05 and so there is no significance. it can be concluded that the hypothesis is true that there is no difference between lectures and world cup matches in inducing sleep in dt.
