Read on if you're a football(Liverpool) fans. This post serves as a reminder to myself.
Recent news of Rick Parry leaving the club at the end of the season has written a new chapter into the off-pitch drama of Liverpool. I as loyal as ever to Liverpool aren't surprised by the news however. This is not the first time that Liverpool make headlines for something which seems unnecessary.
Ever since the purchase of the club by the American owners of Gillett and Hicks, Liverpool have been in somewhat of turmoil. First it was the much anticipated 'plan' for the new 60,000 seats stadium, then the rumours oft their intention to hire Jurgen Klinsmann in place of Rafael Benitez before the owners' conflict which still haven't resolve until today, then, it is the contract saga between Rafael and the club, in which reports says that he wants Rick Parry out of the club. Oh did I mention the debt the American owners had for he club which might result in the drop-down sale of Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel to mention a few and also the case of Rafael's taunt at the press conference towards Alex Ferguson?
I can't deny that Liverpool's result have been somewhat encouraging in comparison to their results few years back. Top of the table at the beginning of January do sum up their title credential but recent draws against the 'minnows' do peg them back greatly. The inability to chalk up a win at home against the bottom half's team is something rather sad.
The purchase and selling of Robbie Keane hasn't helped much either. 19mil wasted as he just doesn't gel into the Liverpool team despite his work rate and determination. A few goals here and there aren't enough.
Apparently, Torres is suffering from the 'second season' disease that struck a lot of great players at their first season at a foreign league. His injuries hasn't help much either. This time last year he has got 20 odds goals to his name but the current campaign his goal tally hasn't been encouraging. He's still a great player and I still like him very much but in my opinion, the off-field turmoil has played a part in every Liverpool's players.
Off-pitch dramas as such has greatly dampen the club's hope and lets just hope it will end, soon.

so close yet so far ; case 2
Its cross country day. Somehow I don't feel the urge in me this year around.
Got up pretty late as blur only coming to pick us up at 7.10. I could have either walk there, but i was lazy. Met up with Shirley, JunBin and Fleming at the LRT station. Upon reaching, we could feel the buzz around. Oh the starting point for this year changed to somewhere near the Telekom.
Sometimes its kindda frustrating waiting for the event to start. The kelas 3 boys were called to the starting point before 9 o'clock but they only start after 9.30. I still remember back in form 1 when I was in kelas 3 the kelas 1(my current kelas) started first then only the lower forms' turn. Why does it always have to be us to be the one waiting?
Waited and waited..
then off we go! This year I could say I was pretty determined not to let the house down. Every year I had this 'high expectation' from the people around me but I failed them throughly. But this is my last year doing this kind of running so I am all fired up to give it my best.
"Don't give up on me" was keep on playing in my mind as I had the leg to carry on but not the lung. 26th.
the winner to the 25th place will earn points for their respective house. Yeap. I missed out by just a place and I could actually see the 25th person in front of me. 
'my blur face while the prize giving ceremony was going on'
Finished, then makan at Jusco's Kim Gary. Eat eat talk talk then heads home.
Khew came over as he needs to wait for his mum to finish work.
That pretty up sum up a tiring day.

so close yet so far
1 step.. its sooooooooooo close yet so far..
For the first time, FIRST TIME in my secondary schooling life I failed to get pass the 400Metre event on sukan tara day. I consider 400m as one of my favourite event, as I previously won a few medals at this event.
But now? I can't even get pass the required time for it. 70 seconds or 1 minute 10 seconds. I lose out by merely a step. Just a step to the finishing line and I am done with, but I failed. I FAILED!What further make the thing worst is that I had a record of around 1 minute when I was competing for the school way back in form 4.
But the bright side is, no other people, yes NO ONE passed the required time too. It was a complete KO for us kelas 1, the fifth and sixth formers.
Grrrr no use fussing over spilled milk.
Oh i passed the shot putt this year! The event I had the least confident of passing. something which I should cheer about?

a not so valentine valentine
Things are like usual, 14th Feb doesn't mean much to me, yet.
Urh valentine, I've got no valentine. Spending the whole day pretty much in front of the computer except that I was out early to play football.
Perhaps a bachelor yam cha night would suit this?
Oh yeah, there's not gonna be much updates from now i think, due to my great time management which left me wanting for the 25th hour in a day.
lagi-lagi the sport season is up and coming, so I'll be pretty much occupied with all the Goh Tong stuff soon.
Not to forget, homeworks which are piling up.
and the first term exam too, on the 2ND MARCH..
Oh yeah i love my life

Graduated Under18 VS Current Under18
As planned, today is the much awaited mouth watering clash between the current under18 team and the graduated under18.
Didn't generate much crowd though, as we started the match late, at 3.00pm
The presents were Eric, Jason, Ryan, Keh Bin, Jen Ruw, Meng Shen, Zhi Hao, Wilson, Wai Leong and Zhi Hao so called 'brother'. Meng Shen didn't play though.
As expected, the graduated would run out victorious given their vast experience of playing competitive basketball and also their more physically built body.
Final score? 62-48, with the likes of Wilson and Wai Leong contributing most of the points.
Ryan, Meng Shen, Eric and Jason
Dennis, with the current Under18 side
Wilson and Zhi Hao
Grr the current ones needs to sharpen their skills more!

Kobe on.. 'soccer'?!
I wonder how would he be performing if he chooses football over basketball. What I mean was he is so gifted, he can excel in any kind of sports he were to choose.
Kobe Bryant=D

School's gonna reopen in.. few hours time? Gosh I am still stuck in the CNY mood. Thou it might not been pleasant to me and my family.
My sis was robbed today as she was returning home from work. 2 guys, apparently malay in helmet grabbed her from the back and robbed off everything, including her handbag and phone.
Then now I am hearing firecrackers noises everywhere. According to my mum, today, Chor 8 is the day where the Hokkiens 'Bai tin gung', a date where it is thought to be very important to them. Too bad I can't join in the fun of playing firecrackers.
AND Robbie Keane is apparently due to leave Liverpool, but somehow I am not saddened by this. To be honest I don't think he is what he was anymore.
Get the money spend somewhere else Rafa!

And again
The week long holiday are about to end. CNY to me, a routine one. Going places, getting angpaos, greeting peoples with lots of 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' and last but not least, gambling. Again, gambling hasn't been all well to me, so I should refrain myself from further gambling which I managed to do at Kel's house. A job well done I guess?
Then the whole of CNY I wasn't in a very good health either. Fever going on and off.
By the way, what a dream signifies? What a dream is trying to tell when you are dreaming about the same person over and over again for the past year? Everytime I dreamt of it, it will leave a smile on my face when I am awaken, but at the same time the feeling that no one can tell. Its hard to endure when you are dreaming something that you know that it will only happen truly within the very dream you are in. Oh, I dream(hope) that that person will be reading this.
Why am I saying this..? some might think I don't look like a sentimental guy, instead a tough and bold dude. Hey, I am just like an ordinary 'dude' you call, that have feeling too.
I had a conversation with a close friend of mine, and he reminded me of many things. Some bad things, and lots of good things. But to be honest, I still don't a clue yet on what to do on it.
Football. Torres 2 Chelsea 0. A defeat that will certainly dent Chelsea's title hope further and pump up Liverpool's spirit to keep the chase on ManU. Liverpool are lucky in the win? I don't think so. Lampard won't be there when Torres made the header and Lampard won't be there to help out Cole when he made a school-boy error. Chelsea are lucky when Alonso only hit the bar, not the back of the net. Furthermore, Bosingwa is very, very lucky not to be sent off when he kick the standing Bennayoun at the back in front of the assistant referee. So, luck is on whose side? Or perhaps Chelsea you need be less pathetic in your pursuit of a new player?
You'll Never Walk Alone~
