DAILY GOALS

Loose Screws

2011-06-30T02:13:00.002+08:00

Everyone faces a meltdown once in a while. But the question is, do we even realize we're in one? I mean we can go through our daily routines as usual, meet the same people, talk the same talks, but are we consumed by something in us? Some deep shit? Nah maybe just me rambling like some old fart.

There maybe questions as well. Why now? The more popular one I guess. We can only solve this riddle on our own. But hey right now life is pretty good I guess. Got an awesome girl, gonna see her this weekend, futsal soon, awesome movies left to watch. Life ain't that bleak after all eh?

It starts with a 2

16th May has come and gone, what an awesome day it was. I'm not gonna be all weepy or giving old wiseman-esque speeches. This is more of a dedication to the people who made the occasion of transition from teen to adulthood (not quite) such an unforgettable experience. On the one hand is my mum, as always, and on the other-my Princess Muffin :)

The gifts were great, but the best gift was of course the time spent together. Loved the video, and of cos the Man U jersey (AWESOME!!!!), the card was lovely baby.

Though the jersey writes 'J.GEORGE 7', I think 'MUFFIN 4EVA' is more appropriate. And in response to the 4th line from bottom as written in the card, I promise <3

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

2011-04-19T21:30:00.003+08:00

Wtf. Wanna save my own results, but fear of 'ditching' others and the consequences of such actions (e.g being called a selfish bastard, not caring about people's feelings etc.) prevents me from doing so. Ughh fuck this shit

Weekend bliss, Monday blues

2011-04-18T00:45:00.003+08:00

The weekend was close to perfection, dismissing the fact that QM rejected me and I got back my trials results. I NEED MOHAN TO SAVE MY ECONS NOW ARGHHH

So do I stay on this road and blindly do a law degree, or change my route in the name of a better life? Sighhh, what to doooo? Should do something that can earn myself more money rightttt, this is a material world we live in ma right? Decisions decisions.

Oh, so Rio was kinda nice, more because of who I was with rather than what I was watching I guess. OHH, my muffin hinted to me what she got me for my birthday present. I think i know what it is laaaaa....

Window/table/bedroom shopping in Ikea was awesome, especially the food. Didn't eat the meatballs though, too full. The livingrooms there were super niceeee. Got a few ideas for my future home I think, not too elaborate, but good enough to take your breath away :)

Got a rough idea on what to get for my muffin on her birthday, but I'm not giving anything away...hehehe.

Ok la, sexy ass signing off. Seeya

'Change is temporary, class is permanent'

I just said that to look cool, I don't even know what I mean. Anyways check out the awesome new skin, LOVE IT. All credit to the lovely Muffin <3

Now that I'm more motivated to blog, prepare to have your mind blown....ok scratch that, I don't trust myself to have the perseverance to keep this blog alive.

Just went to SS2 Mall, super dead place. There was a book sale there, and guess what? They're selling Jane Eyre books in cover similar to that of the Twilight saga. Eerie, disgusting, demeaning, disgraceful, __________, __________. Fill in the blanks yourself.

Bruno Mars this Sunday. Gonna be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Especially spending time with a little someone :)

Super long haven't updated my blog already. Anyways this is a shout out to my girl. You and I are more alike then you think. I'm really sorry for losing my temper today. I cannot promise to be perfect, but I can promise you that I will do everything in my powers to make you happy. Sushi will always be yours :)

Are you from Mars?

The theme of appearance versus reality kept popping up while watching Inception. Great movie, cool action scenes, mind blowing plot. Only way to describe it? Mindf**k.

And kinda touching too

Rhythm of the falling rain

2010-04-28T23:09:00.001+08:00

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow
And rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

Oh listen to the falling rain
Oh rhythm of the falling rain
Oh listen to the falling rain
Oh rhythm of the falling rain

The Dream Goal

2010-03-14T18:59:00.003+08:00

The title of this post has no hidden meaning. The goal I wanna score? Allow me to describe it to you.

Someone gets the ball before the half way line. A counter attack. The ball is crossed over to the right wing where I'm standing. One touch on the chest to take the pace off the ball, the second touch with my right feet-caressing the ball as it slowly touches the ground. All in one motion. Defender on my left about to slide in, goalkeeper steadies himself to make a save.

Me whacking the ball as the onrushing defender slides in. I sliced the ball. It swirled from left to right, finding the top corner of the left side of goal. Goalkeeper can only watch in despair.

I'll turn. I'll cheer. I'll keep on dreaming.

Movies

2010-02-16T20:38:00.002+08:00

Why do movies nowadays reflect real life? Isn't it depressing enough that we have to live in the real world? Why are we wasting our cash just to see it all played out on the big screen? To the goons who are making movies, people watch movies to be entertained and feel good about the movie after walking out of the cinemas. We don't want the added burden of being in the character's shoes and sharing all the issues the character has. WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT. A great example is The Hurt Locker. I have enough issues in my life to care about the stupid war in Afghanistan. And no, I don't give a shit if a terrorist decides to bomb himself in the middle of the dessert.

WE WANT MORE HAPPILY EVER AFTERS!!!!!!

Errrmmmm

2010-01-14T17:10:00.001+08:00

Question of the day:

Are you still a virgin?

My answer? Yes......LOL

2010

2009-12-31T18:50:00.002+08:00

Another year has passed. Too quickly for my liking. Bad in many ways, but one of the best years of my life for a number of reasons, the chief reason being the coming together of Yuxin and I. lol.

Gonna miss friends in sg, and of cos Yuxin. But then friends here in msia remain close as always. Ask th and cr la. LOL.

It's gonna be a world cup year. Hope England can finally do it la. If not then I don't think they ever will.

My new year resolution? Do much better in my studies and make 'our' relationship work, hope it'll be a fruitful one. hahaha.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALLLLLL

Ouch

2009-12-14T19:40:00.000+08:00

Soccer is damn fun la, but damn painful as well. My right ankle and right knee is getting weaker. Brian's last ditch tackle didn't help the cause (real match red card la, LOL).

And abrasion to my left thigh certainly didn't help. Those tights I've been wanting to buy would've been real handy.

Should I stop playing soccer? Just a thought.

A fun day, in a weird way

2009-12-10T02:56:00.000+08:00

Woke up rather early, around 9 I think. Mum cooked a wonderful lunch, forgot what it was though. lol. Went out with chun ren and tuan hann, and spent the whole day in 1u. Going out with them can be very dangerous. Phone grabbing, missing people, a trip to Jusco for nothing etc. A special mention for ypl....ahem, mr. ooi should know who. HAHAHA

What was the name of the movie we watched again.....ermmmmmm, OHHHH. Jump i think, it was kinda funny in a weird weird way. Had pasta for dinner, had a good laugh with the shop owner. Really charming person. Decided to watch Storm Warriors, which screens at 11.30 p.m. Had to convince mum, managed to do so. Went to buy tickets for seats which were 3 rows away from screen (I still insist it wasn't my fault).

Ohhh, saw my cousin, and his 'friend' we never knew he had. Don't worry cuz, none of our family members ever reads my blog. Hope you and your lady friend had fun. LOL. Went to tuan hann's place right after buying our tickets. Shall skip this part cos it was not one of the best moments in my life...hahaha. Anyways Storm Warriors was ok. So I'm guessing that the next installment will be called ‘风三’. My eyes are getting heavier by the minute. WOOOO

Blogging for the sake of blogging

2009-12-05T12:53:00.000+08:00

Omg, the world cup draw is already outtttt. England's group quite easy. They're gonna play the USA, Algeria and Slovenia. Winnable group.

By popular request, I'm updating my blog as often as possible. Even if it means that I'll have to blog even when there is nothing to blog about. LOL.

Hmmm, back in msia for the 3rd day, been spamming food all day. Caught 2012 with my uncle yesterday, although I did already watch it with the bastards in sg.

Ehhhhh......OH YEAH. ALREADY MISSING 0923. LOL. How're you guys doing??? COME KL FOR HOLIDAY LAAAAAA

That's it for now. Cheers.

0923 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-12-02T00:34:00.000+08:00

OMG LA.....0923 ROCKS TO THE MAXXXXXXX

Will miss you guys damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn alot sia. SL project rocked, NE trip owned ass, dinner...ahem, damn nice, Sentosa WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Special thanks to ros for sand in my mouth and yiling for the stupid game. hahahaha

I never thought that I will ever miss sg la. NOW, I will miss cat high people, ny people, but most of all 0923. Probably the best class I've ever been in.

OMG.....will miss the bastards. you assholes made 0923 so f***ing great. We pon-ed together, we slept in lectures together, looked at girls together, AND OF COS BASTARD OTHER PEOPLE TOGETHER!! LOL. although towards the end you all say I 重色轻友, I must say I neverrrrrrrr. REALLY!!!!!!!!

Last but not least, thanks for the Man U jersey and the 'I'M WORTH IT'. WOOOOOOHOOOOO.....nice sia.

Goodbye for now, I'll be back.....hehehehe

Hostel

2009-09-25T23:03:00.000+08:00

OMG...can't believe we can finally see the floor of our room. We have finally cleaned our room, and we spent 2 whole hours doing it. Why? Cos we thought that the principal would check our rooms during the Mooncake festival celebration. In the end never check pulak...walao. All our efforts put to waste.

Celebration was ok I guess, loved the mooncakes and ice cream. Saw a few Cat High teachers, said hello and talked some. Oh yeah, my knee damn effing pain, walk also cannot walk properly.

Right now waiting for my laundry before I can shower. Sigh...thanks for the ice cream missile.

Of derbies and drama

2009-09-20T23:54:00.000+08:00

Whew....now that the euphoria has gone.....are you kidding me? We beat Man City in a 7 goal thriller, of cos the euphoria won't be gone. MOTM: Mr. Ryan Giggs.

3 assist from the old guy, not bad leh. We screamed and shouted at Prata House, everyone looked at us as if we were some hoodlums from Malaysia. Well, we are from Malaysia, gentlemen from Malaysia that is. The celebration for Fletcher's first goal had a few seconds lag time cos we couldn't tell whether the ball had gone in or not.

Had to leave at the 60th min, stupid curfew. 3-2 when we got back to the hostel. Fletcher scored again. Damn happy. Then Bellamy scored pulak. I cursed and sweared. Kept bothering people online for the score update. Owen then last min score. What did I do? SCREAM LA DUH....

Can't believe an ex-Liverpool legend in now a Man U idol. Well...as long as Man U wins...I DON'T CARE

Countdown to promos: 11 days

2009-09-19T23:50:00.000+08:00

WASSUPPP????!!!! Lai lai lai...what has happened the past few weeks? Nothing much. Just stress, stress and more stress. Guess what? I spent 35 bucks on 2 meals today. Yup, sg dollars, 35 dollars, 2 meals. WTF man...but i have to say Carl's Junior owns.

Promos less than 2 weeks away, and I'm not prepared, not even close. Die liao la. Instead of being motivated to study more, I'm tired of studying. Don't get me wrong, I wanna study. BUT tutorials, assignments, eom, ir are coming thick and fast. Throw in revision for midyear topics and we'll have a good meal of 'Julianisdead'. Sleeping in lectures and tutorials have become a norm. Distractions? Just my beloved tvb drama, max an episode a day.

So where do I go from here? Hopefully not back to Malaysia....arggh

WOOAHH HOOO .....oh

2009-09-06T02:04:00.000+08:00

The start of the hols couldn't have gone any better. Class outing with fellow B's, ASEAN dance (which was surprisingly fun) and of course going back to Malaysia later, albeit for 3/4 days only.

Class outing was fun, of course fun la, I there ma. Anyways now too high till I can't sleep. 2 a.m. now, got GP remedial at 7.30 a.m. later. ASEAN dance rocked, so many old friends, and of course new ones. The highlight of the evening? DILLON AND I FOUND OUR BALLS.

We have finally redeemed ourselves for our gaffe 2 years ago. WE ASKED GIRLS TO DANCE WITH US...TWICE!!! lol. If you knew me, it's a major breakthrough. The whole night was spent on the dancefloor, dancing/jumping around like idiots. I could've had my 3rd dance with a girl if my shirt wasn't so wet from the previous dances. No, not that kind of wet, just dripping sweat from the non-stop workout. It was more tiring than soccer practices. I just realized that I missed dinner. OMG...damn hungry.

After effects of the dance? More laundry, loss of voice, pain in the legs, and probably a scolding by my GP teacher later...oh well it was worth it.

CHEERS...WOOHOOO

My 华文 not bad

2009-08-16T22:44:00.000+08:00

Hostel soccer competition this morning, play until damn dulan. The damn PRC's don't play soccer, they play 'kick leg then kick ball'. This sport pisses me off man. Don't know about the rest of my mates but I was on the verge of hitting one of em. 2 separate incidents stood out in this match.

The first was when our goalie was body-checked by their player. Foul la duh, but the knn PRC still wanna argue with the ref saying that it was bloody legal. So I was like 'Do you even know how to play soccer? You can't freaking touch the goalie.' I said this in chinese, with him replying 'What you say?' ironically in english. The convo ended with him scolding me 'F*** you' and me, well, ignoring him.

The second incident won us the game, and won me painful nights ahead. 2 assholes sandwiched me when I was in midair, trying to head the ball. The end result? Let me put it this way, I'm using counterpain lotion on my back and it burns. Some idiot still had the nerve to say that it was my fault. Obviously enraged, I questioned his knowledge of soccer while hurling insults at him, in chinese. Have you ever had this situation where you are in so much pain, but you just wanna laugh your ass off? That was my case as I saw the puzzled look in his eyes.

He was like 'WTF??? THIS DUDE UNDERSTANDS CHINESE?' while I tried to stop myself from bursting into laughter.想用华文压我？想得美. Anyway we did win the match, the penalty of course, and not before receiving a few more kicks to my ankle.

Free movie tickets for winning the soccer tournie, but at the price of a few extra medical bills. WTF

Any Given Sunday

2009-08-10T11:09:00.000+08:00

Met up with Malaysian Cat High scholars to celebrate TN's birthday. Had to go all the way to Bukit Timah. So long didn't see them, all still look the same. Dillon with his cock face, Wei Chen with his blur face, Dong Lum and Yong Khang like their usual loud selves, TN bday boy, so cannot say anything. E Yang like somebody who just got out from jail. Perret no need say cos see him all the time, like no diff.

Paid 25 bucks for lunch, some Japenese buffet. My spending this week has exceeded 200 bucks. Damn. Food was damn nice, the supply was endless, I guess.

Oh, and almost ALL of them have a gf now, even E Yang. Feel damn 自卑. Went for movies after that, then dinner, then go back hostel. Only managed to study ionic equilibria, damn. Long weekend wasted just like that.

Monday was the most painful pw session ever. No thanks to my beloved pw mates. You watch out....

讨价还价-FAIL

2009-08-08T23:47:00.000+08:00

Went to Queensway to check out class shirt with JJ and Jia Le. An attempt to 讨价还价 over the F10 futsal boots was a complete failure. It was an utter disaster.

Anyways, more money gone. Lets see how much I've spent the past week.

Bag: $38
Wallet: $18
Shoes: $79
Asean dance ticket (which i was force to buy): $43

This amounts to the grand total of $178. OMG....
But the shoes not bad la.

Oh yeah, 0923 were first runners up in the handball comp, pics on fb. WHOA.
Guess the words...

讨价还价-ed

2009-08-01T22:16:00.000+08:00

Long time no blog. I would love to blog about what's been happening between my last post and this one, but lets leave it at that shall we?

So, woke up at 12 today, tried to do EOM till 2. Obviously failed. So went out with 2 of my room mates to have lunch, at 3 p.m. K.F.C again. I've lost count of the number of times I've eaten K.F.C for the past month or so.

Anyway went to Fairprice later to replenish my food storage which was drying up. 20 bucks worth of snacks. WHOA.... Walked past a stall selling bags, one caught my eye. So I asked the uncle to let me take a look at it. 45 bucks, I was like wtf. I told him I'd think about it, so went shopping for groceries first.

When I went back , I planned to use chinese to 讨价还价 with the uncle. Obviously with 2 Indonesian room mates and me looking the least bit like a chinese, it was the best chance I had to convince the dude to lower his asking price. Armed with courage and a merit grade for my chinese oral exam, I 讨价还价-ed.

Me: Uncle, 可以35块吗?

Uncle: 35 块不可以. 不如 38 块. 你让一步我让一步.

Me: 这样可以 check 先吗?

Uncle: 可以.

So obviously I checked the bag to make sure that it was in perfect condition, and it was. So 38 bucks for a bag which was originally 45 bucks. Looks like chinese is useful after all....所谓尺有所短, 寸有所长; 物有所不足, 智有所不明.

Have no idea why I added the idiom. Makes me look pro in chinese.

2009-06-21T16:53:00.000+08:00

It's 4.54 p.m. Mum & dad are catching a movie, I'm at home staring at my laptop while its raining outside. Got license but no car, so can't go anywhere. 24th is looming, midyear exams too.

One word to sum everything up

HOU

Pass

2009-06-15T12:45:00.000+08:00

Woohoo!!! Passed my driving test, and I'm proud to say without bribe somemore. Zai leh? The tester (invigilator?) for on-the-road was kinda cold, 'ini orang takde rasuah, tak guna' ... LOL

The worst part was the slope, surprisingly I passed it at first attempt. Thank God. As I said, the tester was unfriendly. Here was how we interacted.

Me: Jalan mana?

Tt: Jalan terus.

I went blank. WTF is 'jalan terus'? I only knew Jalan 1, Jalan 2 and shortcut/highway.

Me: Jalan 2 ke?

Tt: Jalan 2 mana?

Me: Kiri punya.

Tt: Ya...

Anyway I made it back in one piece.

Word of the day? LULUS.......

Easy go

2009-06-15T11:44:00.000+08:00

After futsal, when to 1u. Of cos go 1u la, where else to go? What did we do there? The usual lor. Arcade, fussball, movie marathon etc. Can't believe we watched Monsters vs Aliens, 3D somemore. Sigh...wait, that was the other day. Oh, watched Drag me to hell, loads of scares, loads of fun. ZY had to leave early, so CR, TH and I decided to splash the cash.On what? Ice cream la...but not your usual 'ais krim', this is the one, the only.....HAAGEN DAZS!!!

Ok la, it was just a scoop per person, but you gotta admire our courage to sit at the restaurant while the rest stared at us as we made sure we finished every last bit of ice cream by any mean possible.

Beautiful ice cream

CR eating away his money

Me reluctant. 20 cents gone, a dollar gone.

Mr. Ooi. Nuff said.

Sigh....

Shokubutsu 好用

I love my new shokubutsu body foam. A whole new experience...AHHHH

Cough

2009-05-21T23:05:00.000+08:00

Got the cough, it's pretty bad cos I can't stop coughing at the moment. Got a 10 min 30 sec for my 2.4, but still bronze cos of the damn pull ups. Next week Man U vs Barca liao...can't wait.

I also can't wait to finally go back to Malaysia. WOOHOO!!!

Lookie here

2009-05-18T23:53:00.000+08:00

First and foremost, I would like to wish a very happy birthday to my dad. Hope you like the tie. Physics test...sigh. Soccer training today, only 11 people went. Only managed to train for a while before my 'new' boots died.

Coach: What happened?
Me : *Points at boots*
Coach: Got extra pair?
Me : This is the extra pair.

So either have to buy new boots or repair the 2 broken pairs. Walao...missed the best part of training some more la.

Drowning in school work right now, just need to last for couple more weeks....

18

2009-05-16T22:27:00.000+08:00

I can now watch m18 movies, buy booze (not that I will) etc. Yes, I'm finally 18. Quite an interesting birthday I must say. My uncle played a birthday song for me through the phone, parents came all the way down to sg to celebrate with me, while Man U won the league. Oh, did I mention that Man U won the league? The PERFECT birthday present. Lazy to upload pics now, maybe later. Still have my physics lecture test coming up, not to mention my GPP and GP essay. Who cares? Man U are champions...WOOHOO!!!!!!

P.S. thanks for the well wishes people

2009-05-09T00:29:00.000+08:00

Corrective Work Order, which is something you do when you are punished for wrongdoing. My wrong in this case was because i allegedly got in a fight/wrestled with some fellas. These some fellas happened to be my friends. We happened to be bored while waiting for our teacher, so we had some fun. It was deemed as 'harmful' to our school, how so I really don't know. To make matters worse, I wasn't even really involved in the so called 'wrestle mania'.

Justice is blind...so is my teacher.

Cake

2009-05-06T23:17:00.000+08:00

Thanks 0923 for a fun/weird birthday celebration, not forgetting Junda for a face full of cake. It went into my nose. Oh, and I survived a bowl of laksa, so proud of myself.

NYJC in blue beat NJ in red 1-0. Great result considering the many wrong decisions that went against us.

A step closer to the next round.

Finally bought a standing fan for myself, I am DAMN happy, like seriously. Find it kinda pathetic though, falling head over heels over something so minor. What to do, life in sg = no life.

Ironically, I got this while playing basketball, at walking pace.

Congrats to cat high dance for gold with honors.

Monday blues. Screwed another test, tired and no semangat in all my lectures and tutorials. Soccer got physical training some more. Saw a hot/pretty Japanese girl on the way back to hostel, made my day. No pictures of her la of course, I'm not that kind of guy, besides my arms were literally full. And I will cut my hair...in due time.

P.S. Didn't you people have anything better to do other than wasting your time on this match?

College Orientation part 3

2009-02-12T23:48:00.000+08:00

Surprisingly, disco night/mass dance was quite fun. My new classmates were quite friendly. The cat high gang were running all over the place doing crazy moves and stuff. When mass dance suddenly started, couldn't find my partner, so I danced with some random girl from 0922 if I'm not wrong. Didn't quite catch her name, but she was kinda cute. Sorry for not being a better dance partner than I was, and to my actual dance partner, sorry for not being there. Also sorry to say no pictures were taken during this event as we were busy having fun. Reached hostel quite late though, damn tired.

Tomorrow got some stupid talk, what an anticlimax to a nice week

Was in sentosa yesterday for orientation, damn hot. Today damn dulan, kena transferred to another class, now gotta know new people all over again, wth. CCA dilemma, don't join soccer then nothing to join already.

To some whose names I can't remember, but you can remember mine, awfully sorry. But its not my fault my name is so easy to remember and yours is not.

P.S. dance was awkward

Emo

2009-02-05T19:01:00.000+08:00

After today, I daresay I’m on the verge of disliking soccer. College tryouts/training was today. Many people were there, thinking we were in for some fun. We thought wrong. Training was damn sick, and I can’t play for nuts now, thanks to not playing field soccer for 2 years plus. Shuttle run from one goal post to another, countless push ups etc. were the menu of the day. Yeah it was tough, but on the bright side, I can improve my fitness level, on the downside, practice is three times a week, each time 3 hours of grueling exercise, and the one today was supposedly lenient. Thought of trying again, but idea shot down by caring mum worried about my niggling knee injury, time for study and on the whole my well being. So it’s final, no soccer team…maybe the joke club? Have been emo-ing the past few days, hormones maybe? Getting screwed by new hostel officer for disobeying curfew hours in my first week in Parry Hall certainly did not help. Hope it passes.

Cheers people

17

2008-05-19T20:04:00.000+08:00

I celebrated my 17th year on wonderful earth...God's grace. Mum came to Sg to celebrate with me, dad didn't make it, as usual. 17 already, but I'd like to think I'm still the same person after all these years. I mean I am still me, but how 'not me' have I become after so long on earth? Wth...don't even know what I'm talking about. Starting to sound like an emo post...let me brighten things up.

Nearly ate myself to death this weekend. Here's a list of what I consumed over 3 days:

1. Mos Burger (Chesseburger...i think)
2. NYDC (Pasta, Chicken pie)
3. Subway (Cheese Steak, Cookies)
4. Pizza Place (Beef Lasagne)
5. Double Cheeseburger Pizza
6. New York Pizza
7. Nasi Lemak
8. Mrs. Fields Cookies
9. Ham Sandwich

These are the ones I can remember, the rest....lets move on.

My mum insisted on me taking picture during every meal. Luckily for me, she wasn't too persuasive. We managed to catch a movie on 2nd day of my birthday...rite, I mean the day after my birthday. To cut a long story short, it was food, tv, more food.

Here's a picture of my cookie/cake...cool eh? Got it on the 2nd...I mean the day after my birthday.

It was a fun weekend. Like to thank my mum, friends and of course my family members (uncle, aunt, cousins all included) for everything. Happy belated mother's day too...I already wished my mum by the way. 1 last thing, lets observe a minute of silence for the devastation in Myanmar and China.

(clears throat)

This is the souvenir we got after stepping down as student leaders. I think that last year's frame was much better. What are we suppose to do with this? Go swimming?

Maybe it was a message to us: 'Do not drown yourself in the O levels'

Ronaldo equalled Alan Shearer's goals haul of 31 goals in the league, Ryan Giggs equalled Bobby Charlton's record appearances of 758 games for the red shirt of Manchester, United now 1 title adrift of Liverpool's record of 18 titles. Last but not least, United's 10th league title since the BPL was founded in 1990.

The adrenaline rush hasn't gone away, sure can't sleep tonight. Can't believe I missed 1 of the tightest and most exciting title race ever. Chelsea drew Bolton with Davies scoring a 93rd minuted goal, Giggs scoring on his special day, Man City thrashed 8-1 by Boro, Birmingham and Reading scored 4 goals apiece in their respective games but were still relegated and finally, United retaining the Premiership crown on the final day. Whew....

I just love football...1 down, 1 to go. Next stop, MOSCOW

D-Day

2008-05-11T18:37:00.000+08:00

The final day of the BPL season. United or Chelsea? Damn obvious, isn't it? With a far superior goal difference, the title will surely be ours. Chelsea won't will the title even if they beat Bolton by 10 goals when United beat Wigan.

First the title, then Moscow. Nervous, but we smell blood.....

Oh yeah, broke my vow not to play football till after O' levels. Damn it...

Lost For Words

Avram Grant’s interview after the Chelsea-Everton match. ROFL!!!

A deserved win Avram?
Grant said: 'Yes.'

What particularly pleased you about the performance?
'I'm pleased.'

What in particular pleased you?
After an eight second delay: 'I don't know.'

Is it a relief to win here?
'Yes.'

You seem lost for words by the performance. Are you more satisfied with the performance or the victory?
'Both.'

You seem distracted. Do you have a problem?
'No problem.'

Is there an issue?
'No. I'm ok. I have nothing to say.'

Do you have a message for the Chelsea fans?
'You represent the Chelsea fans?'

They must believe you are still in the title race, do you have a message for them?
'No message.'

Does this result mean you are back in it now?
'I don't know.'

How many steps have you climbed to undertake this press conference?
'I don't know.'

You seem less voluble than usual. Is it because of Sky TV moving the game to a Thursday?
'Maybe it's because of you. I don't know. I am ok.'

You are saying that you don't know if you are still in the title race?
'No.'

Is it easier to say nothing Avram?
'I don't what to answer. It is a good question. I don't know what to answer.'

Is this because of Sky?
'No. Sky is ok. I enjoy watching them.'

Is it a protest against newspapers?
'No. Why?'

Why else would you come in and refuse to answer our questions?
'I answer every question.'

You are two points behind Manchester United and you don't know if you are still in the title race?
'No.'

Have you told the players that you don't know if you are back in the title race?
'What I tell the players is something else. You want me to tell you what I say to the players?'

We just want you to answer the question really. Are you in the title race?
'I don't know.'

Would you not like to gain some positive publicity for the result rather than this bizarre silence?
'I'm sorry. You can write whatever you want and I can answer what I want.'

Do you feel under pressure to deliver a trophy. Is that the reason for the monosyllabic answers?
'No.'

Are you upset? Do you feel you have been misrepresented?
'Maybe I have said because it is a bad season.'

Did Michael Essien faint?
'He had some problems, but he is ok.'

Michael Ballack?
'Injured.'

What's his problem?
'Ask the doctor.'

He's not here Avram.
'Well call him then.'

Have you ever played the yes/no game Avram?
.....

Winning isn't everything

2008-04-05T01:31:00.000+08:00

Its still Friday….aiya, I’ll just get to the point where we played inter-hostel soccer la. The OM told us that we were having futsal today, supposedly for fun. When we got there, he said it was the inter-hostel competition…what the hell.

Anyway it was 4 v 4. We played 2 games against some school, forgot the name already. There was this big fella, damn buff, skills damn zai some more. We started well enough, and I got a goal after some gai dou shooting from the side. The ‘tai zhek lou’ keep on doing skill, damn hard to get the ball off him. Luckily his skills are only useful to him when he does it without moving forward, so there was no danger in letting them attack us.

Unfortunately, whichever way you see it, I accidentally injured the ‘TZL’. I was going to hit the ball away from his feet when he suddenly dragged the ball away. My momentum was in full swing and I couldn’t stop myself kicking his shin. He got injured, so I stopped play for foul. I didn’t want it to happen also la, my shin also kena, but luckily only below near the ankle, so not so pain. After the collision, TZL didn’t run much, but still did some skills.

We his the post so many times, me alone hitting it 4 times as we kept up the pace in the first half. In the second half, things changed as we grew tired, me especially. Damn, this is beginning to sound like a commentary…..anyway Wei Chen continued with last ditch challenges, Wei Jie did his job, and Perret subbed Dillon as keeper.

We won the match 2-0, the second goal an own goal from the keeper after I wasted time at the corner before kicking it to Wei Jie whose shot hit the post before rebounding off the keeper into the net.

I had a feeling that the TZL damn bu suang me already. Actually we were ok before this la, we played in the same team before, and he was quite a nice guy. But maybe because of my clumsy and MAYBE hard tackles that irritated him. While we were going for the ball, he pushed me down into the ground. It was nothing la, but then when he helped me up, he said ‘This game don’t so solo,’ didn’t know what he meant by that.

We played the second game later, with the OM joining their team because they were short of a player. We expected ourselves to lose this game, like we expected to lose the first game. It looked like it was true when they scored first. OM had to shoot 3 times just to get the ball past our keeper. To cut a long story short, we won the game 5-1, aggregate 7-1. 4 goals and 2 assist, not bad la, but then stamina damn suck. I shook TZL’s hand after the game, but I could tell it was just formality as it meant nothing to him la. Though we did win, I didn’t feel good about it. Maybe its time to change. Oh yeah, i 'slide tackled' almost everyone on the opponent team, even the OM. Not nice, but that one was for the confinement........

To sum up the week, this was what happened:

1. Malaysian scholars got screwed, kena confinement for the weekend. Not for breaking curfew hours, but for not returning passport on time. Also, we’ll have to wash the common toilets. Bravo.

2. The night we got screwed, they were actually wasting our precious time. Stayed up all night, ok la, 1 a.m. only, to finish essay.

3. Fail add math test…again

4. Used up 200 bucks of my 300 bucks so far, and its only the 3^rd week of the term

5. No more prefect duty by the end of the week. Nice……

6. Man U beat Roma 2-0 at the Stadio Olympico

7. Saw 2 girls in the MRT with Wen Han. One was beautiful, one was hot.

8. The beautiful one looked like she challenged us to look at her. Stared at Wen Han first while he stared back. He looked away. Stared at me next, I stared back, then immediately looked away. Conclusion: we were self abased

9. Got screwed again by hostel people, just because the damn PRC scholars don’t know how to behave like humans and clean after themselves

10. And…..its only Thursday

A Matter of Perception

2008-03-26T22:24:00.000+08:00

Nice....lazy to explain myself, don't have to, won't need to...(p.s. they think i'm malaysia soccer captain, totally not my fault)

Pb 1 vs. Pb 2 Results
Dun feel like elaborating much on the highlights of the so-called SLB "tournament". Every half-time I am the one being subbed out, so the both M'sia scholars tink they r so tzai. I've nvr seen them sub themselves out b4. Even Pb1's Jia Hao subbed himself out to give others a chance. This is wad I call a good captain to take care and command ur team. Sadly, our captain lacked all this qualities. Our captain missed a penalty, screwing up some far-range shots, and shooting waywards for a few times. We are always blazing our shots high and over the crossbar when we are in the penalty area already. Result: 0-3 to Pb 1. I've only got 11 words to sum it all up. "Pb2 (Us) deserved to lose as CSY was not playing as striker." =)

Sidekicks.
Pb 2 v Pb 1.
That's the fixture of the inter-board soccer semi-finals.
Ah, some of you may have known that I had a lack of playing time.
Yea of course I am utterly unhappy (who like to watch on the bench)
I have no grudges against our captain but I'd like to blast out some of my thoughts.
(just like Roy Keane.. lol)
Firstly, captain of Malaysia football team doesn't mean he damn tua.
Wth, I am puzzled by his substitutions la.
While we were playing against CMC 2 days ago,
I started out as striker. When CMC scored a goal, he immediately subbed me out for
no apparent reason. (????)
It's like I am not even at fault for the goal, and it was the keeper's fault.
And it's not like they keep on supplying me with passes and I scuffed all my shots.
Julian George always like to link up with Wei Chen (fellow Malaysian ma)
then I also can't do anything about it.
When we conceded, I was subbed out. I would be fine with it if Julian George's substitution proved that it was correct.
In the end, we shortly conceded a second goal partly due to the person(who subbed me)'s fault.
Kudos! (JG, are you leaving the field @ half-time cross-eyed?)
Second half, due to CMC's mistake by subbing out Yong Yuan (the 3-6 Wushu guy.. who plays 99% like Thai Yong), CMC didn't have the cutting edge in front of goal.
We equalised 2-2, due to some poor defending by CMC.
Maybe Julian George prefer people with tough physical presence on the field.
Or people with better aerial ability.
Maybe I could not provide both options up front but I am sure I am worth the first team place.
I am not even getting enough chance to prove myself.
I'd rather be in the Crystal Palace first team than being in Man U reserves.

Good Friday....in a way

2008-03-26T21:46:00.000+08:00

I wanna share my experience of Good Friday. A mixture of joy, and at the end…du lan. No lessons on Good Friday…damn happy, so we decided to make it a horror movie marathon at Charlton’s place. The day before rented a few movies, with us finally choosing the 1973 Exorcist and a few other cds.

At Charlton’s, it was like heaven. Food was abundant, and damn, the entertainment was good. Oh, it rained by the way. It rains every Good Friday, or so I think. Charlton’s mum was a very very very gracious host, and I can’t stress that enough. Let me see…was it 4 pizzas? Or 5? Anyway we ate it all…absolutely devoured the whole thing. While eating, we watched the exorcist. It wasn’t a scary movie, and I didn’t know what the fuss was all about. According to them the whole cast of the movie died, but we later found that to be untrue. Only 2 of them died.

Ok, so the movie. It was slow, not scary, but creepy. Jit Hin as usual was watching the whole movie with his hands in front of his eyes. I couldn’t help but scare him after a few scenes. He would get his revenge. More of that later…. Anyway the creepiest scene was the part where the little girl who was possessed by the demon spider-walked (means walking with all fours on the ground, facing upwards) down the stairs. The other creepy scene was when she turned her head 180 degree to talk to the priest.

Bei Er didn’t seem to be scared at all, while Perret seemed more concerned with the messages he received. Nathan, Bei Er and Perret left just after we finished the exorcist, which was the same time Manfred reached.

By now we didn’t know what to do, so we watched Silent Hill. It’s an ok movie la, and Jit Hin did manage to get his revenge. Watching the small girl in the film turn around, he suddenly screamed into my faced ‘oh my god!!!’. My instant reaction was WTF, so I screamed…yeah, quite loud.

We didn’t finish watching the whole thing, so we went to the attic to play F.E.A.R (a stupid game with a girl ghost in it) and just hang about. Charlton and Jit Hin were damn afraid of walking up the steps alone, and Jit Hin even screamed when I…well I just boo-ed him. They were even afraid of going to the toilet together la….ok la maybe I was too, but that was because I was freaked out…by them.

We then played a few games of winning eleven, had dinner (satay, roti john, pizza again and soup) and watched Simpsons. Before we knew it, it was 11 pm already. 12 hours at Charlton’s place leh…and I was late for my curfew. Me, Manfred and Jit Hin went back together. Manfred started talking about how cracking our necks will lead to us breaking it, don’t know if it’s true. Jit Hin wasn’t pleased about it.

Jit Hin: walao, can don’t talk about neck or not? Now make me think of the movie again

Manfred: its just the neck la, and it’s a fact

Me: its not even scary la…neck turn oni ma……

So this was our conversation during our journey, till Jit Hin managed to convince us to change it into something more pleasant, like school. After leaving Manfred at the bus stop, it was just me and Jit Hin. Luckily the MRT service wasn’t over, and I had Jit Hin to thank for catching probably the last train at that time. I got back to the hostel around 1 am, curfew supposed to be 11 pm. So I walked towards the hostel till I saw the guard. I immediately crept under the blocks placed on the roads for construction purposes and dialed Perret to save me. So down he came, but then I thought the guard had left. I climbed over the gates, sneaked in and walked.

Voice: hey you, wait!

Ok, not good. Guard noticed, guard chasing. So I ran to the lift, it opened, it closed. Whew, safe…..or so I thought. The door of the lift opened and the stoner guard was there.

Guard: you Julian George right?

Me: ah

Guard: you sneaked out and in just now

Me: yeah

Guard: why?

Me: I was hungry, so I went out to buy food

Guard: I’m going to have to tell the boarding master what you did

Me: har? But I just bought food oni wor…

Guard: so? You still sneaked out? You students ar….buy food so late at night

Me: can don’t tell or not?

Guard: no, you go back to your room

Me: har? ok….

It wasn’t good to lie la, but then if I didn’t I would have been in deeper shit. Anyway no confinement, just that I missed the Man U-Liverpool game the next night. Damn it…..luckily Man U won, 3-0. Haha….screw you Liverpool fans. Had to sent a message to my discipline teacher, incidentally my physics teacher telling him what I did, got a reply, ready to be skinned alive. Anyway that’s life…so the moral of the story is….don’t buy food after 11….

By the way, i found this blogger blogging about me...quite interesting la. some of it true, some of it not....its above this post, enjoy..........

Back, finally. Nope, not football this time, but Man United are on hot form at the moment. I just want to vent my anger, frustration or whatever you call it. Was doing recess duty as usual (which also means slacking as usual). We were standing at the side talking about Wei Chen’s fake injury and how he was making such a fuss about it. Just then I saw a sec 3 guy carrying food out of the canteen and was gonna run for it. Bringing a packet of junk food or two is ok la, but this fag was hauling two hands full of junk food and trying to make a run for it at the same time. I mean come on la, a lil too obvious right? At least try hiding it in your pockets or stuff it up your ass, I don’t give a damn. But carrying a load full of junk food out in broad day light is clearly testing our patience. So, I made a dash towards him. I got there just in time to make a grab at his collar and tug him back. He was almost flung towards the floor, his buttons and name tag flew everywhere (I had no choice but to hold him back, cause if not he’d been off) .I helped him pick up some of his buttons and led him back to the canteen. I was already quite pissed with this piece of shit (his name shall remain anonymous), but Brian Cheng was a real fool. He fixed his buttons while I stood there waiting for him to finish his business before taking his name down. A bunch of chimpanzees (presumably the scum’s friends) were laughing and teasing him, mocking him for his failure to get pass the ‘slacking’ prefects. A few of the goons were standing behind B.C, and well, one of em directed a rascist remark towards me. Ok, I’m used to this kind of shit, yet it does hurt, a lot. Through gritted teeth, I just took B.C’s name tag took down his name and held his name tag out to him. I then accidentally (maybe not) dropped his name tag. I left and joked with E Yang about the whole incident. I decided that I would add B.C’s name in the Book. Offences include bringing food out of the canteen, running away from a prefect and insulting a prefect. I was tempted to add in injuring a prefect as I hurt my fingers while getting hold of his collar, then again maybe not. I’m actually a good prefect, in a sense that I can close an eye and pretend nothing happened. Some people might call us slackers la, but screw it la. Anyway my point is if even a slack prefect like me catches somebody for committing an offence, that fella must either be a gone case, or he has shit for brains. In this case, I’ll pick the latter.

One plus One Not Necessarily Adds Up ToTwo

How cruel can the game of football be? Scotland versus Italy at Hampden Park, the Euro Qualifiers. Forget about the over hyped England who now have their Euro Championship hopes in the hands of Russia, they’ll most probably lose out anyway (I’m actually an England supporter). I’m not a big fan of Scottish football, but it can really be entertaining watching the Scottish national team play.

Scotland have not qualified for a major tournament in a very long time, how long I don’t know (obviously because I’m not a Scotland fan), but now they have a chance of qualifying for the Euro Championships to be held in Switzerland-Austria in 2008. In fact to be still in for a chance for qualifying for the championships was deemed impossible considering the fact that the world champions and world cup finalist respectively, Italy and France were in the same group. Everybody had written Scotland off even before the qualifiers had even started. But now in the last game of the group for Scotland, they were in for a shout for a place in the championships. The equation was simple, beat Italy and they’ll get through, draw Italy and they’ll have to hope Ukraine beat France to get through, and lose to Italy, all hope will be lost.

Hampden Park, Scotland. Attendance was over 60 000 (it’s Hampden Park, not Old Trafford or the Nou Camp for goodness sake) with the bulk of the crowd made up of, obviously Scottish people. They were silenced at the start when Luca Toni, Italy’s tall striker put the ball in the back of Scotland’s net to lead the host. If the Italians thought that an early goal would kill off Scotland’s, they were very wrong indeed. Instead of hiding in a nut shell, the Scotland players came back fighting. I assume that you guys know Gennaro Gattuso, the fiery Italian midfielder who plays with his heart on his sleeve and who had a short spell at Scotland and who is married to a Scottish wife. Imagine 11 Gattusos’ on the pitch, fighting for every ball as if their lives depended on it. Italy were technically superior, but the Scots had passion. 1-0 to the Italians at half time, but only just. Andrea Pirlo had to clear off the line for Italy following a corner which was headed by a Scottish player.

Do the names Alan Hutton, Scott Brown or Barry Ferguson ring a bell? These players may not be as famous or well known as their Italian counterparts, but they were by far the better players of the night. Scotland huffed and puffed, but the Italian defense stood strong. Scotland were good on the all, passing it around nicely and outwitting the Italians. Not even the fresh legs of Iaquinta could catch Barry Ferguson who managed to escape his marker on many occasions. Then Scotland got a free kick on the edge of the penalty area. Up stood James McFadden, the player who have delivered for Scotland on so many occasions, to take the responsibility. He struck the ball which deflected into the path of a Scottish player who aimed his shot at Buffon. The ‘world class’ keeper fluffed the ball and the rebound fell to Scotland’s captain Barry Ferguson who gratefully thrashed the ball into the net.

It was all square and it looked like Scotland might even go on to snatch a victory. They played with purpose and direction; on the contrary the Italians seemed content to leave Hampden Park with a draw by having their players waste time in set pieces. Alex McLeish was so worked up by the equalizer that he pumped the air and jumped up and down, I got to admit I did the same thing. How could I not root for Scotland after them giving such a brave fight to come back against their so called superior opponents? They even threw Kenny Miller on to get the elusive second goal to win them the match. That was how much confidence that was brimming in the Scottish camp.

However, thing do not always work out as it seems. A defensive player, Chiellini was thrown into the fray by the Italians, who took off the more attack minded Camorenasi. It was a clear signal of intent by the Italians to play their so called defensive football. As the Scotland full back was trying to clear the ball, Chielline came charging at him at knocked him to the ground without any attempt to play the ball. Amazingly, Manuel Fernandez, the Spanish ref managed to see thing the other way and award the free kick in Italy’s favor. Scotland players were furious, but they just got on with the match. The ball was floated in; Panucci rose highest to get his head to the ball. Silence…and the Italian players reeled away in enjoy, celebrating the goal that never should have been. The brave Scottish hearts were well and truly broken. They didn’t deserve this after such a spirited performance by the whole team. The scene of Italian celebrations contrasted the dismay of the Scottish players, with Craig Gordon, the Scottish keeper in particular looking dumbfounded. Time was running out and Scotland was staring exit of the championships in the eye. To make matters worse, the ref blew his whistle only after a couple of minutes of extra time, after so many time wasting tactics by the Italians. The goal was a mockery to the game, a total shame.

A teary eyed Alex McLeish came onto the field to congratulate his heroes after their unbelievable and brave performance. It was truly an undeserved result for the Scottish. They now have to bear another missed opportunity, but it was not their fault, it was the officials who obviously left their glasses at home. The game of football does not appear as simple as it is. The better team does not always win, and defeat will not appear in a crueler form than this…By the way, Israel beat Russia, which means England now have a chance to qualify, not that it matters anyway.

Heart Wrenching

2007-11-04T00:07:00.001+08:00

I can take it no more...football is going to kill me sooner rather than later, and I’m just watching it. My heart is still pounding as I’m writing this. Man Utd vs Arsenal, clash of the top two in the EPL. Both teams are in irresistible form at the moment, both teams playing caviar football and both teams looking undefeatable. Try pitting these two together in an EPL match, and what do you get? Fireworks, lots of em’. The match was build up as a season decider, which means that the winner of this fixture will go on to win the title. I’m now back at my grandparents house enjoying the comfort of having my family around me and enjoy a mouthwatering clash between the two titans of English football. Looks like the Arsenal-United duopoly are starting all over again, although Liverpool and Chelsea do deserve a mention.

The only difference in United’s starting line up from their previous game was Evra and Giggs back in the side for O’Shea and Nani respectively. The inclusion of Giggs, in Steve McMahon’s words was because he’s been there, done it, got the shirt and still wearing it. In my words, he’s more experienced. The game was predicted to be a classic match up between the two, and no wonder. United started the game on the back foot, and Arsenal were…sigh, I hate to say it, very good. Right from the start, I could tell that it was not going to be United’s night, I just had that feeling. Arsenal were more composed, trying to break down the United defense, while United were unable to get a stronghold on the game. In previous years, United-Arsenal games are highlighted by the battles of the snarling Roy Keane and the ferocious Patrick Vieira. With Keane now managing Premiership side Sunderland and Vieira at Inter Milan, most would think that the intensity of the game would drop. Wrong. Although the hatred between the two clubs have turned into mutual respect for one another, the clash of the future stars Anderson and Fabregas not surprisingly showed glimpses of the old days of Keane and Vieira.

Hargreaves had a pretty good match, especially in the first half where United stifled Arsenal’s attacking threat quite steadily with Hargreaves in particular nullifying most of the threat posed by the Arsenal attacking front. United had Hargreaves and Anderson running the engine room in the middle of the park, allowing the front four of Rooney, Ron, Tevez and Giggs to roam upfront, finding cracks in the Arsenal back four. The first half was a cagey affair, and it was pretty boring, seriously. However I was shaking in anticipation, waiting for something to happen. That something finally happened on the stroke of half time when Rooney stole in the front post to put Ron’s cross into the net via a deflection by Gallas. Arsene Wenger was fuming as he protested about the body check given by Brown before laying the ball to Ron who in turn supplied Rooney to give the finishing touch.

United leading at half time, and I couldn’t be happier. BUT as they say, football is a complicating game. Right after the restart Arsenal got back into the game through Fabregas. Van Der Sar made a very good safe from Adebayor, but Sagna kept the ball alive with a last ditch cross which found Fabregas in front of the goal. He took his time, and then stroked the ball past the United defenders. The game had finally opened up, and it was breathtaking. Both teams used up all of their substitutes, but I’ll get to that later. Fergie put O’Shea on for Brown in the middle of the 2nd half (I really believe that Brown is not the right man to be playing at full back, he just doesn’t have the accuracy and pace). This was really edge of the seat stuff, and my heart felt like bursting out of my chest. Every time Arsenal got the ball, they looked like they might score, and the space now is so much more compared to the first half as both sides were playing attacking football. It was from one end of the field to another, and was impossible to choose a winner.

At this moment, I was just happy for a draw. It was the Emirates stadium, and Arsenal are on a roll at the moment, a draw would be a very satisfactory result indeed. Then, Fergie made a master stroke and subbed Tevez by bringing on Saha. Not many would put their money on the French striker after his many injuries, and certainly no one would want to break the promising Rooney-Tevez partnership which has rewarded United with so many goals. However football is unpredictable, and as soon as he came onto the field, Saha held the ball, fed a delightful through ball to the on coming Evra who picked out Ron with a cutback. Ron just had to put the ball into an empty net. Obviously being a Man United fan (in case you haven’t noticed) I jumped up and down in the living room. There was just 8 minutes on the clock plus injury time. I punched the air, knocked my glass over and just went wild.

Arsenal were not going to give up their unbeaten run at home that easily without a fight, and gave their all in clawing back an equalizer. I couldn’t bear to watch the ending, it was nail biting stuff and I couldn’t keep up with the pressure. Waves of attack were aimed at the United goal, and every time Arsenal would have a shot at goal, I would breath a sigh of relief, only to be clutching my pillow later on in wait for the final whistle. The presence of my aunt and mum behind me giving their opinion of the outcome certainly did not help my cause. My heart was in my mouth, and I, like the Arsenal supporters were praying, only for different reasons. Evidently, they prayed harder…sigh. The 90 minutes were already up, and we were in the 2nd minute of added time. I’m finding it hard to put this into words…I just feel so disappointed. Arsenal had 1 final attack, shot after shot. United’s brave defense held their line and blocked every single shot (I gave little yelp every time they shot). Suddenly, the stadium erupted; the ref was waving the players back to the center of the field. Certainly not, he had just awarded Arsenal the goal. Looking at the replays, it was clear that the ball had crossed the line after Gallas hit it, but it was clawed out by Van Der Sar in mid air. Rules are rules, it was goal, but my heart was shattered into pieces.

It may not be the best result, but it’s satisfying. We managed to draw Arsenal at the Emirates, and at a time when they are flying. I guess it’s not that bad after all, eh? I caught a glimpse of a poster hung by a few United fans stating the importance of Man United. It read ‘United, Kids, Wife…Importance in that order’. It was a nice and amusing sign of loyalty to United, but then family is definitely more important than anything else in the world, yes, even more important than football…

Just hope that football doesn't do this to me....

Goals Galore...again

2007-10-28T01:59:00.000+08:00

The only word I can think of right now is ‘wow’. United 4 Boro 1, 4 goals per game in 4 consecutive games. Quoting from a reliable source, this feat has equaled the record of the Bill Meredith days a century ago. I and Ah Law went to Suntech to watch the game, and it was not a restaurant or anything, just a TV outside the karaoke bar, so we had to stand and watch the game. As the game ended pretty late, we sat on the floor like small kids watching Barney or some cartoon, some people laughed at the sight of us sitting there and staring at the TV.

Back to the game, it started off very brightly for Man United. Nani got the ball from the half way line and took on the defenders himself. Cutting in from the left flank, he unleashed an unstoppable shot which flew over Schwarzer and into the net. The celebration was fitting with him doing the ‘death leap’. The time on the clock read 3 minutes, and it looked like United were going to cruise to another victory when United broke with Tevez. Unfortunately he only managed to find the goalkeeper’s arms with his chip. That miss proved costly when Aliadiere headed the ball from Tuncay’s cross into Van Der Sar’s goal. It has to be said that United were very sloppy in this game, judging by the number of times they gave the ball away. However it’s the result that matters, and at times their one touch play were simply breathtaking; it really was out of this world. Hargreaves was back in the reckoning again and boy was he good. Breaking up the play and feeding his teammates the ball all day, he had an almost perfect game, with the exception of some misjudged passes. Ron had a rather subdued game and was quiet throughout the match, but United were still very dangerous on the attack.

With the score at 1-1, Boro threatened to score with Downing narrowly heading the ball wide of Van Der Sar’s goal. Unluckily for Downing, it was his error that led to United taking the lead. Dwelling with the ball in his own penalty area, he allowed Nani to poke the ball to Rooney to smash home the 2nd goal past Schwarzer. Ron managed to miss 2 golden chances to score before halftime to put United further in front. Just 29 seconds after the restart, United nearly scored a 3rd with Rooney and Tevez combining well but the move ended with Rooney firing over the bar. Boro themselves had a chance to equalize when Cattermole let fly a stinging shot which tipped by Van Der Sar for a corner kick. Both United fullbacks weren’t having a good game as they were often distracted and sloppy. However United finally managed to get their goal after some nice work from Anderson, Tevez and Rooney. Anderson’s lifted pass to Tevez was flicked to the path of the incoming Rooney in the penalty area. With a defender by his side, Rooney incredibly back heeled the ball back to Tevez who coolly slid the ball past the diving Schwarzer. I really can’t understand why people would find it hard to believe that these two strikers can actually work well as partners upfront. It’s probably the best partnership of strikers the club has had for years.

3-1 up and looking comfortable. There was no stopping United this time. They were now sniffing for a fourth, and were doing everything to get that 4th goal. Keep on banging and the door will open, this proved to be the case when United broke with Ron and the moved ended with Tevez scoring his second of the game albeit a deflection off the arm of a Boro defender. The ball looped over and bounced into the net with Schwarzer dumbfounded. It was disappointing that United didn’t get their 5th, but it was a very good result. From scoring 1-0 wins, they’re now scoring 4 goals in all their games. Let me show you their goal scoring pattern: 4-0 versus Wigan (1st 4 goals); 4-1 versus Villa (2nd 4 goals); 4-2 versus Kiev (3rd 4 goals) and last but not least 4-1 versus Boro (4th 4 goals). Looks like Man United will be winning 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal next week if my prediction is correct, and I certainly hope it is. I also want to congratulate Chelsea over their thumping 6-0 against the uglier half of Manchester (in your face City fans).

Obviously the matched ended rather late, after our curfew, and the place was practically empty. It was quite spooky walking in an empty shopping mall with dim lights. By the time we got back to the hostel, it was already 12.20, an hour pass out curfew. I thought I could get away with it by not signing in. Walking back to the boys block, the guard shouted my name out; I guess I’m licked now. Anyway if anything does happen (maybe a confinement perhaps?) it’ll be worth it, Man United did win….

A Tiring Day

2007-10-27T01:24:00.000+08:00

The last day of school, Mediacorp celebrities (all gals, no guys) in my despo school, report card day…in other words it was a crazy day with picture taking with the celebs and teachers who may not be teaching us next year. We will also be having our O level Chinese this coming wednesday, sad huh? Thinking I’m straying off from football in this post? Think again. Just wanted to start off by giving you an idea about how life here goes about. The Office Manager (OM) of our hostel had wanted us to take part in this competition with another hostel, Anglo Chinese School
Institution (ACSI) or something like that. We thought we were going to play captain’s ball till the last minute, but were then told that we were going to play street soccer, so we weren’t mentally prepared but we really didn’t care. It was just another game which was supposed to be fun.

We had to walk to the place and got lost instead, but luckily we managed to get there fashionably late as always. For the first time ever, I would rather have been sleeping on my comfortable bed than playing football. We were already exhausted by the time we got there, but we got on with the stupid match. The ref was our OM who wanted to prove he was not bias towards us by favoring the opposition, or in my friend’s words, he just didn’t know how to ref a game, and to think he was ref for street soccer, basketball and captain’s ball. Anyway we got the game underway and I got to say that they dominated, but we were resilient. They even had a coach and tactics, quite amusing considering that our team was playing together for the first time. I expected myself to be rusty after not touching a football since the last term; I was proven wrong, I was worse than first expected. The space available was so little (imagine 14 guys playing street soccer on a basketball court) and the goal was a table not much bigger than the ball.

We conceded a penalty and they practically passed the ball into the goal as the ref said that no keeper was needed for the penalty. Losing by a score of 1-0 at half time, the ref decided to make it a 5 v 5 match instead. We swapped places quite often and I started the 2nd half at the back. Defending the goal, I slid a player and twisted my ankle in the process, that’s the fourth time this year on the same ankle, bad luck maybe? They were technically superior, but we played a more attacking game and were a constant threat to them. Then, 1 of their players was shielding the ball from me, so I body checked him and he fell. It was quite peculiar as he was a junior college guy who was much stronger built than me, it was quite impossible for me to exert that much force to hit him down. I tracked back and apologized to him, but he just got up and started pushing me in the chest asking me what that was. I reacted before I could think and shoved him back; luckily we didn’t come to blows as some guys pulled us apart. A guy from ASCI told me to chill, but it wasn’t my fault was it? I know I lost my head there and shouldn’t have reacted as I did, but it was an instinctive reaction, given the fact that I was apologizing to him at that time. The idiot then pretended to make peace with me by walking up and offered his hand for me to shake. I did just that, but the blood in my veins was already boiling. This is not a first, the incident I mean. I previously had 2 bust ups with other players, but nothing serious. I just don’t understand why people would want to pull us apart when we just argue about something. Yes, it was probably for prevention, but most of the time it’s unnecessary.

This may not make my case against the ACSI idiot, and yes it was partly my fault for reacting the way I did, but if you had seen the look on his face when he got up and walked towards me to start a shoving contest and then pretending that he was the good guy who was actually the victim, you would be disgusted. I really sucked during the match, but in the last minute, I had a chance to equalize. I threaded the ball towards the ‘goal’ after some good work by my team mates, and as the ball was nearing the table, I raised my hand, preparing to celebrate. Lady luck was not on my side; the defender managed to get a foot to the ball right at the death and hooked it away. My hand which was raised was place over my face, covering it in disbelief. The game ended with us losing 1-0, but all was not lost as our basketball team and captain’s ball team thrashed ASCI, totally annihilated them.

I treat people the same way they treat me, but reacting in such a way as I did was unacceptable. Keeping a cool head in a heated situation is never easy, but I guess I’ll just have to learn. A perfect example of a person losing his nerve just below, seen it before? Of course you have, it’s the most famous head butt in the world.Enjoy.....
Zidane sending a message to Materazzi...what happened to the old fashioned letters?

Goal Scoring Spree

2007-10-24T19:53:00.000+08:00

Remember the time when Man Utd won six matches 1-0 on the trot? Those days are long gone. Man United have now scored 12 goals in their last 3 matches, yes you heard right, 270 minutes of football with a return of 12 goals, 4 goals a game. Not bad for a team with goal scoring problems eh? The latest victim of the resurgent Man United is Dynamo Kiev. Previously in the Premiership, Man United had already mauled 9 men Villa 4-1, coming back from a goal down to emerge as winners. Playing against Villa at Villa Park is not an easy task, Chelsea can tell you that (they managed to lose 2-0 to Villa in their last fixture). Anyway it was a gritty performance from Villa who still attacked even though they were 4-1 down and 2 men down, hats off to them. Rooney was unlucky not to get his hat trick with a missed penalty and a shot that came back off the crossbar. I forgot to mention that Ron was on the bench, rested for the game against Kiev.

Now back to Man United VS Kiev. The match was entertaining to say the least. Kiev played attacking football; they had to considering that they had lost their first 2 matches against Roma and Sporting. The moment they chose to play this brand of football, the match was Man United’s to lose. Man United are arguably the best counter attacking team in the world, even Jose Mourinho a.k.a The Special One admitted it during his reign at Chelsea.

By the way, Arsenal beat Slavia Prague 7-0. It’s worth mentioning although I don’t really like them as this was a breathtaking victory for the Gunners, it was truly a mesmerizing game of football. Both Man United and Arsenal’s victory in the Champs League came after a series of disappointing events for the British sporting world with the England national team losing to Russia in the Euro Qualifiers, England losing in the Rugby world cup final against South Africa, and F1 rookie Louis Hamilton shockingly losing out to Kimi Raikonnen for the champion’s title (I supported Kimi by the way). Anyway Britain managed to salvage some pride through Man United and Arsenal’s win over their respective opponents.

Man United lost Scholesy and Evra to injury right before the kick off, and O’ Shea had to switch from central midfield position to left back with Fletcher brought in to partner Anderson in midfield. The game started brightly for United, and Ron in particular looked very lively. He won the free kick which led to United scoring the first through Ferdinand, yes, Rio Ferdinand. Ryan Giggs’ cross was met with a powerful header by Rio. United one nil inside 10 minutes and things were only going to get better. Few minutes later, Brown intercepted the ball and passed it to Ron who took the ball to the edge of the penalty box before passing it back to Brown who hit a first time cross for Rooney to score one of the easiest goals of his career with a tap in.

The time and space available for United was laughable, almost unbelievable. Complacency crept in and United conceded a goal through a corner kick after some nice defending by Anderson who played a pivotal role in the win. Diogo Rincon got a free header and Van Der Sar couldn’t get to the ball on time. However the status quo was restored in no time. A Giggs run and cross then led to the 3rd goal from Ronaldo with a header. It was magnificent considering Ron had to back track a couple of yards to get his head to the ball. The half ended 3-1 in favor to United. United’s defending were a little shaky, but it was probably because of the recent return from injuries of Van Der Sar, Vidic and Brown. The absence of Evra may also have contributed to the defensive problems. Kiev were denied a clear penalty when

Vidic who was the last man back dragged a Kiev player down. However the ref gave United the free kick instead. O’ Shea, Rooney, Ron and Tevez to name a few, were guilty of missing golden opportunities when they failed to convert their chances after carving out the Kiev defense. Anyway Tevez won a penalty when his cross hit the hands of a Kiev defender. The ref himself was not sure whether to award the penalty and had to consult his linesman before giving it. Ron stood up and took responsibility for the kick. The result not surprisingly, was a goal. Kiev managed to drag a goal back but it was to no avail. Final score, Man United 4 Kiev 2, and United are still top of the group and are looking as formidable as ever.

On the whole, it was a perfect week. Kimi and Ferrari won the Drivers and Constructors title respectively, Man United going on a goal scoring spree, the Tevez-Rooney partnership seems to be flourishing (in your face critics). It could have been better if Liverpool had lost the Merseyside derby against Everton, but all’s well as Liverpool fell to Besiktas in the Champs League and are now languishing at the bottom of the group behind the likes of Porto, Marseilles and Besiktas with just a single point from a possible 9. Looks like the former European champions are staring at an early exit from Europe’s elite competition, and they’re not even assured of a place in the UEFA Cup. One more thing before I end this, and this has nothing to do with my post at all. I wanna ask the con who scammed me and my friend of our fries a question, was it nice?

The poor lad was so famished that he had to grab our food...how pathetic

Breaking the Curse

2007-10-07T01:45:00.000+08:00

Curses can present itself in many forms, and one of the worse and painful curse has finally been broken.....'The Curse Of The One-Nil wins'. Its football again ain't it? Damn right it is. It may not be as bad as the 'We Lost Our Manager Therefore We Stink' curse currently sticking to a certain team in the EPL, but who in their right minds would like to hear people chanting "one-nil to United" everytime Man Utd play, we're not the old Arsenal or Chelsea for goodness sake. Results may be the most important thing in football, but achieving it without the style and flair really takes the gist out of it. I'm glad to say that Man Utd are back in business and finally look like the team who strolled to the Premiership title last season (something Liverpool have not been able to achieve since...how long was it again? Since the Premiership was established I think, and it was even before i was born).

The match between Man Utd and Wigan wasn't the classic Premiership encounter that would make us drool, but it's Man Utd, that speaks for itself. On the back of 6 '1-0' wins in their past 8 games, it looked as if Man Utd's fortune wasn't going to turn around. Things weren't going well in the first half when Vidic and O'Shea was lost to injury along with Louis 'I got injured again' Saha who miraculously injured himself during warm up prior to the match. Vidic being the warrior he is wanted to continue the match although he suffered a mild concussion, but was eventually taken off by Fergie. Anderson and Danny Simpson got the nod to replace them, and they were unbelievable, along with Pique who started the match due to Wes Brown's injury.

With Foster, Ji Sung, Hargreaves and Silvestre already booking seats on the treatment table, further injuries only made things worse than they already are. Things changed as soon as they took to the field in the 2nd half. The goal still didn't come even though Man Utd had the lions share of possesion, and to make matters worse the ref, Mr. Riley looked incapable of even judging a kick about between 3 year olds. He waved away protests for a penalty when Ron when down under a challenge from a Wigan player, probably forgot to put your contacts on, eh ref? Anyway the righteous always prevails. Tevez opened the scoring with a cool taken finish after brushing off a challenge from a Wigan player, cutting inside another defender, dummying the goalie before taking his time to slot the ball into the net. Not even a lunging defender could keep the ball out where it belongs.

One-nil to United, but not for long. Along with the lead the goal gave, it also provided the team with confidence...the rest as they say is history. Ron scored a 2nd with an easy point blank header, and added a 3rd soon after by converting a low Rooney cross from the left flank. Rooney rounded up the goal scoring spree with a bullet header following a beautiful cross from debutant Simpson's who was playing his first Premiership game for Man Utd. It could have been more if not for Wigans goalie who was having a hard time facing shots from every angle.

Although Tevez got the honour for being the Man of The Match, my true MOTM was Anderson. I've never really admired Anderson since his move from Porto, but then today he proved himself to be a player worthy of his price tag. With enthusiasm and a willingness to impress, he gave the opposition a torrid time by creating chances for the United forwards to score, and as if that wasn't enough, he even performed a defensive midfielder's duty by closing down opponents and breaking up play of the opposition. Simpson had a good game, and so did Pique and Kuszczak who were the unsung heroes of the game.

Sorry to those who have no or little interest in football for wasting your time by giving my 'game analysis', but it was truly a breathtaking match, not in the 7-1 annihilation of Roma way though, but good enough. Anyway let me leave you guys a quote by a scouser legend (although i do hate Liverpool, I have full of respect for their legends, seriously...) Bill Shankly who famously said "football is not about life and death, it's more than that". This statement may be questionable, but I'll leave it to yourself to figure it out. Cheers...

New Kid On The Block

2007-10-05T19:09:00.000+08:00

The final year exams (or so called mastery review) has finally ended...ok, not really, but its just 1 more paper, so all's well. I really don't know what to write now, obviously this being my first time, so I'll just start off by saying that I'm a football fanatic, and most of my posts in the future would probably be about football (if I have the time) and I totally hate Liverpool. Chelsea aren't that bad, but I don't like'em much either, but I can't help feeling a little sorry for Chelsea fans, with their most successful manager parting ways with the club, losing to Man Utd in what was their new manager's (who is virtually an unknown in the footballing world) first match in charge, and the list goes on and on. Want to hear my take on why Jose left Chelsea? Maybe it was because he realized that the team wasn't good enough to challenge the mighthier Man Utd and thus left in search of a new mission. He would return to England in the future, and he would most probably sign for Man Utd. It may seem a little far-fetched, but nothing is impossible. To further prove my point here's a picture you never thought you would see in your entire life. Enjoy....
