Recess Week Roundup

Alright, it’s gonna be over real soon… :(

On Monday, I went back to school for a little meeting regarding one of my assignments. On my way to board MRT, while I was crossing the road, there’s this strange motorcyclist who stopped at the other end. His left foot was bare and true enough, turning my head back I saw his slipper on the road. He’s dropped his slipper while riding. O.o After satisfying my curiosity, a car coming from left towards me, seemed to be driving rather fast… He should be slowing down and stopping as I had the right of way due to the traffic light. Reaching near me I decided to have a good look at him/her, trying to see if he/she was concentrating in driving. While turning my head halfway, on my right, about a few metres away at the other end of the road, a loud “BANG” gave me a shock. A yellow CityCab had crashed into a blue lorry. Half of the front part of the taxi was badly crushed. What a day, just merely minutes after I stepped out of my home, I encountered 3 incidents in a flash. Everything was happening so fast that I thought time’s up for me. But, I was safe and sound, totally unharmed, just got a shock, and maybe lost some souls. Haha. Should have gotten down the car plate, maybe might tio 4D. XD

Anyway, then midweek, I was down with running nose for 2 days and a blocked nose for half a day, planned to go friend’s house study but… too bad. This week I’ve about 3/4 days sleeping at around 3-4am, watching football matches, rushing assignments. And I actually had difficulties sleeping at night these few days too. Thoughts just running wild now… Just can’t focus on my revision. Haven’t done any yet. Help! Inject some discipline in me!

Finally, waited a year, it’s mid-autumn festive again~ Mooncakes, mooncakes and more mooncakes~ Ok la, only like 3 or 4 boxes of them. I just love to eat them in one whole piece~ So nice! Yum yum la~ I think I can finish one whole box of 4 mooncakes in a go. Haha. *drools*

Soccer Update:
This week's soccer session has been cancelled as quite a few of our teammates couldn't make it. Sigh~ My feet are so itchy~ I wanna kick something!! Ok, that's a lil' violent. Haha. Anyway, this coming Thursday, there'll be a annual soccer tournament from my school. I expect more competition than last year, but I really hope we could emerge first this time round. If only there's any soccer court nearby I'll definitely go train by myself... Now we're going to lack one whole week of training before the competition, wonder if my fitness could still be there, after I've eaten so many mooncakes. (._. )

Goal(s) scored: N.A. (No soccer session)

In Champions' League, we saw another amazing comeback by Manchester United! Michael Owen was injured and Berbatov had to be brought on to replace him as early as the 20th minutes. But Berba never disappointed the fans with his creativity and lotsa tricky flicks, even Valencia did that! After conceding 1 goal to VfL Wolfsburg, Manchester United responded rather quickly and within minutes, Ryan Giggs scored from a freekick, somewhat lucky with a deflection but it well gave the home team a lift in spirit. Then in 78th minutes, a well combination involving Berba, Giggs and a final neat strike by Michael Carrick, sealed the victory once again for Manchester United~ A close call, but a good comeback.

OMG, just after I praised them about their impressive comeback against Wolfsburg, Man Utd almost lost to Sunderland at home last night! Their initial line-up was so disappointing… With Scholes and Fletcher at central midfield and Nani and Welbeck at the side, they simply could not work well together! They have no chemistry, passing was pathetic… And Scholes once again went for stupid challenges and got himself a yellow yet again. Luckily Alex Ferguson replaced him with Anderson in 2nd Half, and things looked brighter, but still Sunderland’s forwards are strong! Kenwyne Jones and Darren Bent each scored a goal. Sunderland’s Richardson gave Man Utd slightly more space when he got himself a second yellow and a big thanks to Anton Ferdinand to deflect the injury equaliser from Evra’s shot. But still, without Giggs and Valencia, Man United really doesn’t look impressive at all. Ok, I would still say Berbatov was impressive with his bicycle kick. Danny Welbeck needs to build up his weight to challenge for ball, Nani fell too easily and too often but he definitely has the build to challenge. They have so many options but to me it seems like they’ve only very few that’s worthy enough. Well, the season’s still early for them to correct and strengthen themselves, just hope they can improve.

勝たなければなりません!
