Its November

A new month, but happenings around me are still pretty much the same. A few things to talk about this coming month though =)

First and foremost, guess most that knows me already know is that its the month that I was brought to this world. Most people would say I have a sad childhood, mainly because I don't celebrate my birthday unless someone ask me out. This is mainly because in my family, whenever there is a birthday of any of the family member, my parents will just take my brother and I out for a meal, no fancy stuff like presents or a cake. So yea, I guess that would kinda explain why I would normally just see it as another day. One of my friend once said this actually, "Why need to celebrate? Getting a year older, you want me to die faster is it?"..Make some sense actually XD. Well, not sounding so sad, I do like my birthday. I like the number combination =DD. Born in 1990, makes it easier for me to count how old am I since I can use it as year 0, works for me every time when I was younger. As for November, I just like the sound of the month and the number 11. Lastly, its 14, which is another number I like, divided by 2 is 7...you guessed it, another number I like XD.

Ok, enough of myself. Now, to a club I love, Arsenal Football Club, sadly November is a ULTRA bad month for the club, proven over the past few seasons. Last season, we were on a high but Robin van Persie, on top form was injured during a useless international friendly game on...November 14th...=(((((. The season pretty much stuttered from then on till the end. This season, we're gonna play 5 games in the league, and 2 in the Champion League. 3 big games while another 2 is which we are expected to win but there isn't any games where a team will definitely win anymore is there? The good thing this time around is that, we have big players coming back from injury or hitting some sort of form from the recovery. So, above all else, I just hope this November won't continue to curse the club like it has been doing over the past few years. We play Everton away on the 14th, I just hope for a good game and we enter December in a good shape...worst case scenario is having enough players to play..XD

Till then, signing out =)

Practice Practice

As a starter, this has nothing to do with my studies at all XD. Well, I had a kareoke session with my classmates yesterday, had a great time and happen to stumble upon some Fish Leong's songs. Got hooked on instantly and went to a rampage in obtaining the songs and see whether can I manage her songs or not. Luckily for me, her keys are too high so I could still manage. Just that, for me, going to sing in a kareoke, many would find me weird, because I can only sing with the songs' audio on, if not i'll feel lost :P. Gotta share a video of her song here. What I meant by working on, is memorizing the lyrics, not the singing techniques, I only sing for my own leisure =D

梁靜茹 - 没有如果

如果我說 愛我沒有如果

錯過就過 你是不是會難過

若如果拿來當借口

那愛是不是有一點弱

如果我說 愛我沒有如果

真的愛我就放手一搏

還想什么 還怕什么

快牽起我的手

有人說

世界上最遙遠的距離不是生與死

而是我就站在你面前

你卻不知道我愛你

我常說

如果人類連愛一個人都被自己綁住

那世界末日已來到

不需要等到地球毀滅掉的那天

如果我說 愛我沒有如果

錯過就過你是不是會難過

若如果拿來當借口

那愛是不是有一點弱

如果我說愛沒有如果

真的愛我就放手一搏

還想什么 還怕什么

快牽起我的手

*translation*

What if I said, there's no 'if' in loving me?
If you let the chance pass you by, then you won't have another. Would you be sad?
What if we were together for this reason? Would that be good enough?

What if I said, there's no 'if' in loving me? If you really love me, then take the risk and seize the chance.
What are you waiting for? Come and take my hand.

Someone once said, the greatest distance in the world is not life and death,
it's my standing in front of you, and your not knowing that I love you.

I always say, if mankind is held back by itself even in loving somebody,
then the world has already ended. No need to wait for the earth's destruction.

What if I said, there's no 'if' in loving me?
If you let the chance pass, you won't have another. Would that make you sad?
What if we were together for this reason? Would that be good enough?

What if I said, there's no 'if' in loving me? If you really love me, then take the risk and seize the chance.
What are you waiting for? Come and take my hand.

Don't be afraid to be happy.
Don't be afraid to lose me.

Enjoy the video, its kinda cute XD

*screaming out at the top of my lungs*

I think even doing what the title of this post for me actually helps much..How do you know nothing is going to happen in your favour? Well, allow me to share a bit of my experience over these few days.

- my personal life sucks and is messed up

- it started to rain heavily as soon as I wanted to head out to watch The Arsenal

- its a thunder storm and I hate lightning

- arrived to watch, but is surrounded by chimneys, my chest literally hurts now

- the start of the game, my team sucked

- we scored a freak goal but the process injured our captain (3 main attacking threats gone now)

- started to play better in the second half, until our all important anchor got sent off early

- finally got a penalty, but missed

- we lost 2 points as they equalized with literally the last kick of the game after a lucky break for them

- we drew, 4 points behind Chelsea now (since their opponents is Blackpool later which we trashed 6-0)

- add all these up....It really really hurts.

The only thing that I would be happy about is Nadal winning the U.S Open, he now has won all 4 grand slams, the youngest ever to complete such feat.

I am almost at my lowest point, so not going to write much. As for Sunday, I have a futsal game, with almost all around seems to be going against me, I just hope I come back the way I leave for the game.

Arsenal again

Hello! Been a while since I last wrote a football post, been getting the sticks that my blog is all about football but since now that I can't sleep, who cares, I write what I want.

So after 4 rounds of matches, we sitting behind a very strong looking Chelsea while having a little bit of space from 3rd place, MU. Ain't too bad and I hope it just gets better. Pretty much enjoyed the Bolton game which we won just now, and a thank here to Leni, along with Indra and Franklin who were there to not make me watch the game alone.

The new comers are doing pretty well but our more seniors players, as expected are already on the treatment table. The usual, Robin van Persie 4-6 weeks out, the one in good form Theo Walcott 4-6 weeks out as well and just now Diaby, a bad and high tackle just now and he ain't in good shape according to le Boss. So yea, a bitter sweet some may argue, and I don't think we'll have two of our more important players ready for Chelsea which will turn out to be a big loss because Chelsea just look so good that we'll need all our best 11 to compete with them. *fingers cross*

Well, the good thing from the game is that, the players who are fit are starting to find some sort of a rhythm which is good. Players like Cesc and especially Vela, scoring goals and getting assists. For now, my wish is to have big players injury free for major part of the season, the previous few that I mentioned, just get back fit and prevent from getting injured again, that's all I asked of you.

On a different note, Rafael Nadal is in the finals of the U.S Open for the first time, if he manage to go all the way, he'll become the youngest ever to complete the Grand Slam collections. U.S, not his strongest while its R-Fed's better courts, will be a major battle for Rafa if he is to come up against R-Fed. Come on Rafa!!!!

The tale of the three dances

What can I say, one of my all time favourite bands and my favourite song performed live by them. It just couldn't get any better than that. Please, this is not noise, very far from it in fact, this is how music should be defined as.

I love the music,

and I love the words as well,

enjoy =).

Dream Theater - Metropolis - Part I (The Miracle And The Sleeper)

Live, Score.

The smile of dawn arrived early May

She carried a gift from her home

The night shed a tear to tell her of fear

And of sorrow and pain

She'll never outgrow

Death is the first dance, eternal

There's no more freedom

The both of you will be

confined to this mind

I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try

I was told there's a new love

that's born for each one that has died

I was told there'd be no one to

call on when I feel alone and afraid

I was told if you dream of the next world

You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire

As a child, I thought I could

live without pain without sorrow

As a man I've found it's all caught up with me

I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid

Somewhere like a scene from a memory

There's a picture worth a thousand words

Eluding stares from faces before me

It hides away and will never be heard of again

Deceit is the second without end

The city's cold blood teaches us to survive

Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive

The third arrives...

Before the leaves have fallen

Before we lock the doors

There must be the third and last dance

This one will last forever

Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles

She's taken you to your home

It can only take place

When the struggle between

our children has ended

Now the Miracle and the

Sleeper know that the third is love

Love is the Dance of Eternity

My 70th

I broke a promise...Was supposed to dedicate this particular post to Michelle during our anniversary but I guess its better to keep the memory in our mind =). As you can see, I am about 2 months overdue on this particular post. Haven't been able to find the motivation to write, and when the motivation does come, I got nothing to write about. Irony huh...

Well, now I am here writing, nothing much happened and now I am a 2nd year student and assignments are pilling up already. Although the subjects this time around are not as heavy as the previous semester's but the workload is almost like double compared to the previous semester...Oh well, just need to get them my all and hope what I have given is enough to make me a happier guy in the future as I barely made it through last semester in one piece, a weeee bit too close for comfort there *phew*.

Life has been alright, nothing big happened. Just been to a few movies here and there, gained weight and my knee, or rather knees are kinda busted =(. So, futsal has been quite rarely for me nowadays BUT...hehe, yea there is a but here. I am at the process of forming a team of my own, with a few of my friends to play on a more regular basis because I am kinda tired playing in teams made from scratch and get our asses whooped by some other more regular teams. So yea, planning to make that happen and hope it does come true =).

During the past few days, have been talking with Michelle about our birthday this year. Our birthdays are just 4 days apart, and this year we can't celebrate on any of the exact days because of her exams schedule so we came up with a new date where we both are going to celebrate together. Just yesterday, Michelle already gotten me a very early birthday gift and I am loving it =). Won't be using it anytime soon yet I guess but you never know XD.

Till here this time, ain't too bad after so long out of the business don't you think ;). Will be back soon next time I hope...

Selamat Ari Gawai

Back in my hometown, its a festive season now, thus they are having their holidays now while I am stuck here, facing my assignments...Oh well, just wanna have a shout out to all my friends who are celebrating, Selamat Ari Gawai!! Don't drink and drive yea XD.

A short one this time and I am at my 69th post, wanna save the 70th for a special occasion. Till next time ;).
