We lost, simple as that

It ended 2-1, M.U won with the odd goal in their home ground, it hurts just for me to type it because, hands to heart M.U fans, Arsenal were the better team. The turning point of the game? Arsenal themselves. We went into the lead with a screamer into the top corner by Arshavin and we went into the second half leading by 1. The second half, M.U did not really pressed us like they really meant business, however, we gave away a penalty, correct call and taken by Rooney. 1-1, 2 points lost. Then, possibly the best own goal in the history of football itself, by the ever so 'GOOD' or this season could be his break-through season, Abou Diaby...His body posture when going to head the ball from a Giggs free kick, mind you, he was unchallenged, as his he was a M.U player in blue...2-1, 3 points lost. Drama at the end, Persie finally put the ball into the back of the net, after an intial efforts that were saved and hit the cross bar,however, yes, the much dreaded word here, the goal was ruled offside, not him, but the goal. Correct call so I can't complain. What made me even more sad is when the slow-mo replay, with Persie burrying his head with his head, Eduardo was behind him, supporting him, as a face full of agony as well. Gunners, you all did well, however, in the world of football, what matters ain't performance but results. Let's bounce back, as our players come back, we can put up a very strong challenge. Go GUNNERS!!!

UP!


A Walt Disney's special and a production of those that brought us Wall-E (which I didn't watch) come this movie 'UP'. Initially I never planned to watch this movie and out of a sudden, my Dear asked me to watch it. So, I agreed which is one of the correct choice I made after coming out of the cinema in TGV, Sunway Pyramid. This movie does not have catchy scenes, hot girls, breathe taking effects or whatever elements that we are so used to see in movies nowadays. It is just a simple movie with a breathe taking plot. There are laughters, serious moments and also tears. All in all, a very VERY good movie, highly recommended for everyone!!! I'll rate it as a 5 out of 5!!! Just one of my many thoughts, I am not afraid of growing old anymore after the movie =D!

Sticking with up, Arsenal is back UP and on top of the table with a game in hand!!! A 4-1 performance against a troubled Pompey side, could had scored more but I am happy with the win. Celtic next and a big one, away to MU in the weekend. Not gonna write too in depth this time with football but gotta mention this, the fixtures are tough and players are kinda proned or close to getting injured, adding to the long list of already injured players, not healthy bearing in mind that MU is next, hope they can pull a rabbit out of the hat and give it their all. Go GUNNERS!!!

Not feeling well since yesterday, got a heavy head.....hope I recover swiftly and hope everyone else is in good health. Especially my Dear. Peace and take care people!

I'M BACK....and so are some other things

WOHOO!!! I'm back and writing once again! Got requested to update, so here I am. Well, my life has been better since my previous post. Been wanting to update and share the joy but just too lazy =p.

First and foremost, I met a girl, our path crossed, we caught each other's eyes and here we are, entering our 2nd month together. Yea, I am in a relationship, thus far, everything is looking very good, we're getting more and more comfortable with each other and knowing each other more. All are good signs if you'd ask me, but I am no fool, making it work requires constant and on-going hard work and commitment and that is what I'm working towards. That special girl is Michelle! Hope we have a very very very long road ahead for both of us. Love you lots!!! Not gonna share too much about us, best kept private.hehe.


*our 1st picture*


Well, coming back from a very long break, two months by the way, classes are about to start soon. This time around, I am a university student, studying Bsc. (Hon) Business Management at Lancaster University, Sunway University College. Gotten my time table last week and it looks quite decent, neither too hectic nor too relaxed. So, I'm not complaining about it. Gotta start gathering all my motivation and drive back and try to achieve something. Well, I got my girl to help me this time around so I won't be alone down this road =D. So yea, looking forward to this. All the best to me and my fellow friends!

Finally, the Barclays Premier League is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! WOHOOO!!!! Which means, my beloved Arsenal is back in top flight action! I just got back for their season opener, a trip away to Everton, not a easy game by any means. But guess what, having being writen off of any chance to win the title even before a ball has been kicked, they thumped Everton at their groud with an emphatic 6-1 score line. Dig that you critics! A very good game overall and I had not been so satisfied watching the Arsenal's games
. Arsene Wenger set the bar very high for his team, guess I am starting to believe that this team is ready to deliver albeit being light weight. Allow me to share my thoughts on the game :-

New boy Thomas Vermaelen, had a very good game, being the no nonsence type of defender and scoring a powerful header. The front three attackers didn't not really did enough for me but brought other players into the mix which is also good. Arshavin was kinda quiet, Bendtner was ok, van Persie was pulling the strings up front. The captian Cesc Fabregas scored a brace, which is good. Denilson did well and Song shown major improvement playing in that holding role. So yea, with performance like this from the team, they can go somewhere this season. Guess the departure of Adebayor and Toure did not really hurted us. Now, addition players would only further improve the current squad which is a plus point as we lack depth in out squad, we got the money, so I'm hoping the manager would do something constructive with it. Not forgetting, the likes of Walcott, Nasri and Rosicky were unavailable, imagine with them in the side. Fingers crossed

Alrighty, after a long spell out, I can't really write long, so will stop here this time. Have a nice day people. Peace!
