library blogging

i told myself repeatedly not to do this but i still end up here. i have a reason for it because my finals is next week. here's a synopsis of what I did before finals. i attended a senior banquet on a cruise at newport. the food was bad for the price we paid. i expected better food though, but it was a good experience. meeting AAA friends and seniors for the very last time. even though i known them for a year, but they are nice people. of course, I attended the after-party but I limited myself from drinking too much. i did play a game of beer pong, took some shots but that's about it. i was not in the mood of getting wasted because I had so many assignments for this week.
i also watched the champions league game again..it did not planned as what i wanted it to be but it would definitely prove whose team is the best. chelsea and manchester united in the final..a test to see who will be the best english team!!cech and van der sar, terry and ferdinand, lampard and ronaldo, drogba and rooney.if only i booked my plane earlier, i can watch this game with my manchester united friends. i wonder who will have the last laugh...
before i go back this summer, I will have two jobs. one is working in the president's office and the other is the conference services centre. its gonna be so tiring but i think i can manage it. better to be productive rather than sitting in oxford doing nothing right?? the best part for this week is that uncle kean khing came down to visit us and to see the campus...he made a joke that this place is like terengganu. well, you can say anything you like, but i love it here!!
i just notice that so many things have turned into my favor this week..i am lovin' it!!

champions league

i had a rare oppportunity to watch champions league live in Miami..soccer is not life in US..football is!!don't be mistaken football and soccer..football is people throwing the ball and having a touchdown, soccer is people kicking the ball around into the goal. so i had this chance to watch a classic game between liverpool and arsenal...it was the biggest disappointment in my life..eventhough i despise arsenal so much, i was rooting for arsenal to win against liverpool in the 2nd leg game.everything went accordingly and they had a goal until hypia scored..then the tide changed into liverpool favor!!liverpool was attacking and eventually scored from torres..i thought all hopes will fade away...on came, theo walcott, the teenage sensation of England, to turn the match around...skipped pass 4 defenders and squared the ball to adebayor to score the equaliser..i was so happy.the game will be more exciting and there is a chance to see chelsea and arsenal in the semi-finals instead of liverpool.a minute later, toure conceded a penalty!a minute into scoring the equaliser and then you concede a penalty.all the hard work done by walcott, gone down the drain!!stupid..plain stupid...everything went downhill from then onwards. final whistle was blown and arsenal was eliminated in the final..they had their chances but just blew it off entirely...and now we will be seeing a repeat of chelsea VS liverpool game!!the opponent i dread the most...[liverpool]...
then there was this as roma game against MU...another disappointing game that i watch!this roma striker can't even scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-1 on aggregate..as usual MU qualify...barcelona VS MU, a classic match-up...is there a possibilty that we this year will be an all-England final?my verdict in the final will be Barcelona VS Chelsea!!that would be nice...and then Chelsea goes on to win the title!!superb title to end the season..haha....
