Week 12 Roundup

10 days left...

Starting to feel a little tired of using com... which is a good sign. Think I need to stay away the com to at least reduce the distractions.

Have some progress in my learning of Fur Elise piano playing. I completed the piece! Can't say I master it though, not smooth enough. Need more practice! Haha. I also started trying To Zanarkand... It's a very nice masterpiece by Nobuo Uematsu. Just the starting few notes can simply give me a magical dream feel. Can't forget the moments which I played Final Fantasy X too... Love the story, love the characters... I want to play Final Fantasy XIII~~!!!

Recently accepted a contract extension by Singtel for broadband. But after the acceptance, I did some research and the deal isn't that great. Free Mio TV which I don't need. And it jerked up the price from $30/mth to $39/mth for 3mbps~~ Freaked. Hopefully can cancel before it commences.

Soccer Update:
Alright, no soccer session for me this week. My feet are feeling so itchy~
This week the Red Devils travels to Stamford Bridge, looking to destroy the Blues. Hopefully they can emerge victorious. 'Cause We Are The Champions!

Week 11 Roundup

Going into Week 12 O.o!!! 2 weeks... OMG. What have I studied? - -?

Last Saturday got news that my 舅公 (I usually called him Gu Gong) had passed away. It was quite sudden. Then throughout the week I attended his wake on some of the days. Heard from my other relatives, he died while coming back after buying somethings (including a heavy flower pot?) and along the way, heart attack stroked. Also heard that he knelt on the stairs where he suffered the attack with hand grabbing onto the railing. Looked like he didn't want to leave...
On Friday we sent him off. It was my second time to the Mandai Crematorium & Columbarium Complex. First was to send off my friend.
Well, I asked myself, have I ever talked to him in my life? I'm the sort of very quiet, hate to socialise type of person. I usually don't initiate a conversation. And I can see my relatives are drifting away from me. Or should I say I'm the one drifting away from them...? I'm sorry... Seems like I've got some kind of problem. Now I also don't really know how to address some of my relatives. Some of them I don't even remember who they are... Am I bad...? Sometimes I really do hate myself. I have this invisible barrier right in front that blocks and repels me away from others. I won't allow anyone to get that close to me. It's a rather sad thing. Sometimes I wonder if I have any 'best' friend... Until now I don't think I've found someone who can really understand me, a bosom friend, but it's due to the fact that I'm not opening up myself. Ok, don't wanna think about it anymore. At least not now...

Soccer Update:
Alright, this week would be the last match for me prior to the coming exams.
Thought I had a pretty good game. Providing assists, as well as getting on the scoresheet. Most of my shots today were on target, though the ratio of number of shots to number of goals scored wasn't that impressive. With a slight change of play for me, instead of usual run and pass, this time round, I tried to run and shoot. And much to my delight, it somehow worked. As least the shots were on target and tested the keeper. Overall, good game.

Goal(s) scored: 4. *New high record*
Ok, not like I scored 4 in a match, but I scored 4 in total today. Still, a record for me.
First goal was great, a push to the right, and shot right to the bottom left. Spelled a good shooting form for the day.
Second goal came after a few attempts being blocked, and morale started to take a dip. The ball was actually drifting over the goal, but a thank to the keeper who decided to save it but ended up putting the ball over the line.
Third was a little tugging with the opposition defender and grabbed a shot while the ball was slightly off the ground. It went past the keeper.
Fourth was somewhat special for me. Mind was getting tired by then plus the opponents were not from my clique. Got a good ball squared to me, and I tried a shot from a tight angle, hoping the one marking me wasn't expecting me to shoot. And my unexpected shot really went through straight into the goal. Delighted with that shot. A winning goal for that match.

This week we saw yet another goal bonanza for BPL. All matches ended with at least 2 goals. However, we also saw red cards showing in many matches as well. It's just like a trend. Most badly hit would be Liverpool with 2 red cards shown to a replacement right-back Philipp Degen, and their strong center-back Jamie Carragher. Worst still, while they were still on par with Fulham on score, their eccentric manager Rafael Benitez confidently decided to take away their most likely chance to win --- Fernando Torres. If that wasn't that bad, he took away Yossi Benayoun. And following 2 reds, Dirk Kuyt. Totally banished the chance to make any form of comeback. Well you see, I'm not a fan of Liverpool, I support their rivals the Red Devils. But I certainly don't dislike them and I think they deserve much better football. So next better manager please~
As for Manchester United, after a frustrating first half, they finally broke the deadlock with Berbatov opened the scoring at the 55th minutes and Rooney scored a second in closing minutes, assisted by Evra and Anderson respectively. Gabriel Obertan finally made his debut in BPL, showing some glimpse of his speed and dribbling skills. He's good! A little skinny I thought, but his speed, decisiveness and both legged have really shown how much potential he has. As for Man U, even though they have won, the match wasn't very convincing, considering Blackburn had been trashed badly by Chelsea and Arsenal. However, a win is still the right result.
