Liverpool 4 - 2 Arsenal. :DDDDDD

Freaking hell! Liverpool are through to the Champions League Semis, I didn't do a minute by minute report on my notebook this time cus' I was so high-strung throughout the game, but yeah I'm happy to see Torres and Crouchy in the starting line-up. And and our big guy Hyypia actually scored through a mighty header! Hyypia is the real deal y'all! So you guys can call him 'striker' for all you want, cus' he is now. Lol! To be fair, Arsie really played well last night, they were practically tearing our defense down and came at us relentlessly. My heart was literally in my throat when Diaby scored, but since we were playing at home I'm pretty confident we'd equalise. Hella rollercoaster ride last night, I guess you gotta have a healthy heart for matches like these.

That solo run by Theo Walcott from deep in his half all the way to Liverpool's and that amazing cross to Adebayor who finished the job. That run was friggin' amazing, he ran past 3 or 4 Liverpool defenders (they fell like bowling pins as they passed them by) before that decisive cross. And the last man to guard Walcott was Skrtel, who can't hold down the fort and did you guys notice his expression? He was lying on the field on his stomach and his face simply collapse onto the field cus' he prolly know it meant an Arsenal goal. Lol I guess Skrtel's got a lot to learn since he's made quite a few glaring mistakes but yeah no source of concern as yet, give the lad some time. That's the Rafa way. ;D Otherwise, great ball control, great dribbling (see how basic drills are good for you now? huh, huh? Lol) and of course Walcott's got youth on his side. Ahhh~ Like how Mikey Owen used to be...

Last night's performance and atmosphere was nothing short of that 2005 Istanbul where we actually came back from a 3-0 deficit against AC Milan. BEST CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL EVER. We cried, we laughed, then we cried happy tears at the very end. The fans play a huge part, we cheer, we tear, we went through the highs and the lows with the lads, it is this togetherness that made Liverpool stand out for me from the others. YNWA.

Flash-back to 2005...

Lol I'm not a wimp but I still do get emotional when I watch those replays.

I empathise with Arsies, I really do, I mean c'mon Liverpool experienced the same thing the same disappointments countless times, they played immensely well especially in the 1st half. But one thing's for sure, nobody steps out of a field losers, Arsie's young squad's gonna mature and develop as players from this experience despite the disappointment. And I can bet fo sure Wenger's not gonna go easy on his lads in the locker room alright.

And there were these 2 guest commentators/analysts(?) on ESPN, P.Thompson (ex-Liverpool captain) and F.McLintock (ex-Arsenal captain), and they were debating over that (not so) controversial penalty in Liverpool's advantage after Babel was brough down by Toure. It was legit. End of story. Haha but it sure was funny and heartwarming seeing 2 elderly folks bickering over something they hold so dear even until now.

Lol everything aside, I'm SOOOOO FIRETRUCKIN' HAPPYYYY WE DID IT! And so we're gonna face Chelski again in the CL. Ahh what's new? Lol but yeah I'm in a supa dupa good mood this morning. XD

Yeah! It's the last week of school y'all. Okay while that entails the beginning of the exams *cringe*, it also means the holidays are comin'. Yessss! Don't you just love the 3 months long semester break? I'll most prolly be taking a week's break before looking for a job, anyone has a job offer please drop me a message, lol or if you haven't and is also gonna look for one, join me in the job hunt then! I wanna make lotsa moolah, save some of these babies, and hopefully travel if I have nothing else to save for? Lol.

Alright let's just skip the nasty exams bit, and head straight to the stuff I'm gonna do after all that. I'll be getting the ukulele that I've been lusting for, since forever. Lol. I'd love to get an ukulele from its motherland, which is the Big Island, Hawaii, but yeah as the hokkien saying goes "When there's no fishies, shrimps are just as fine" (HAHA! Does that sound weird or what?). In retrospect, aren't the shrimps like more expensive than the fishies? Hmm I'd much prefer the shrimps to fishies though to be honest... ok ok back to the topic. I've asked JJ to keep a lookout for shops selling ukus, since I can get to choose and compare prices before getting my hands on one. Davis Guitars replied my e-mail and they're selling them for $50 (which is cheap, right?). So if there's nothing from JJ's side, I'ma head down to Davis and bring that baby home with me. Hell yeah! Lol I'm totally excited about that.

Oh okay what else, yeah yeah, I wanna meet up with my butties so bad too. Since like we're all busy doing assignments (rushing assignments/deadlines) and prepping for the comin exams, we're gonna go crazy after it all, yeah. Lol I so feel like going to K now. Rahhhhhhh! I'm so good at the screamo genre, like seriously. Hahaha.

Alritey, that's it from me for now. ;) Will be watching the ManUre match against Roma. I enjoy watching footie as a neutral ever so often. XD But I'll tend to side with _ _ _ _ obviously ^3^.

p.s. I've officially ended (ruined) my alcohol rehab after downing my first glass of red wine since umm weeks (?). Although it's Chilean wine (bleargh I hate Chilean wine usually, I don't fancy spicy wine, like spicy wines may complement certain food but I usually drink wine as they are and they're not good on an empty palette I tell you!), I'm taking it without complaints. Arrr smelly people can be so fickle-minded. Oh oh talking about smelly, looks like I'll be putting my smelliness to good use real soon. No shizzle. ;D

After Anthony Bourdain, I've taken an immense liking to Globe Trekker's host, Ian Wright. More on him next time. ;)
