Modus Operandi.

God... I maxed out on sleep last night/this morning. Crashed at 6am in the morning and woke up at 1pm.

Stayed up to watch Liverpool's match against Wigan. The final score was Liverpool 1-1 Wigan. Torres gave us the lead at half time, and it had to all fall apart when Bramble (of all people) had to equalise and ruin it for us. What to do? I'm mentally prepared that we're just not gonna get the league title (again, I know) this season.
Seeing Heskey makes me miss the Owen-Fowler era even more so. =,(

Rafa did well with the starting line-up this morning, he took off Kuyt (obvious reason) and Benayoun who was lack-lustre in our previous match. Finnan did super well to set up Torres for goal. Though I didn't quite like how he subbed Kuyt on with barely 5 minutes left on the clock for Pennant, like that's gonna change anything. Kuyt'll just run around the field, do some backpassing and lose possession. I don't know but these days, Torres seems to be missing out the easy chances at goal. We created many chances in the first half and we kept missing on them, I really think Rafa should send the boys for some shooting drills again. Sigh. Nowadays we look more like the underdog than one of the big 4. We really should've finished off Wigan comfortably tonight and we did not, like so many other times.

My friend said we are strong. Just when I was feeling a lil' more cheered up, he went on to say we're strong at getting draws. And even upgraded from D7 to D8. -_-" Cut some slack for us fans, we're very broken-hearted already y'know. :,(

Can you imagine what the Kopites this morning must have felt? They were singing You'll Never Walk Alone with fervent pride despite our dismal performance in previous matches (think Derby, Man City). It's this homely feel to Liverpool FC and Anfield that made me fall in love with the club. Remembered how I used to watch football as a kid beside my Dad back when we were still living in Pasir Ris, I didn't understand the game then, but I remembered that wave of red all over the stadium, you'll never walk alone~, and the players were like brothers to each other on the field (we still are). Liverpool's got this indescribable difference from other English clubs that so draws me to it. I really hope all Kopites won't lose heart and give up on LFC, cus' if we leave, the lads are really gonna walk alone. Passion for Liverpool's a lifelong thing, I hope I can stay up late when I'm old like how Ah Gong stays up to watch his beloved Gooners play and "tsk" when they suck. Haha. You'll never walk alone kopites!

Mee's birthday's coming, gonna celebrate it early for her this Sunday cus' she's going to Genting for some jackpot competition. Lol. You heard right a jackpot competition, Dee's going to be her supporter and travel companion. Hahaha! My aunt signed her up for it as a birthday gift. Lol I don't understand the whole idea of a jackpot competition. Isn't jackpot purely a game of luck (unlike mahjong, daidee, poker)? Hmm... should we make banners for Dee to bring it up Genting? Haha! Could've gone with them but school's starting next week, so gotta pass.

Gonna shop for her present in town on Sat. We're preparing a surprise for her, the modus operandi's to pretend we didn't prepare anything for her birthday then spring up her present and money plant/flowers for her. But we can't seem to decide on money plant or flowers!!! So how? Should we get money plant or flowers? Money plant's more practical right? It helps with fengshui and they last really long and it's super easy to maintain! Flowers just look pretty and wilt after a week if you're lucky. So, money plant?

Will be getting Jam's book along the way! The Lunar New Year's coming pretty soon in Feb, I'm so gonna head down to Peninsular for cheap and good clothes! XD Oh oh and hurray my spree items have finally arrived, waited like months for them, finally gonna receive them at my doorstep in a few days' time. Hurrah! :D

Tomorrow's the release of results for subject allocation. Really hope I can bag some nice electives this sem. The eng mods are pretty fixed now and I'm satisfied with them. Haha although I didn't get 2 out of 3 that I've planned for, but I've chosen mods that I think are scoreable and low on readings. Mods on asian lit or singapore lit for that matter aren't popular but the thing is, they're super easy to score. So... fingers crossed for tomo!

Weather's been really cold lately, all I can say is...enjoy what it lasts! Haha and I've got this sudden craving for chocolate ice cream. O_O

Ending off with a cheer! 3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for 008 (pronounced O-O-8 not zero zero 8)! In the meantime, snuggle up, get warm and scurry on with societal pace people!
