Nico Rosberg wins 2012 Chinese Grand Prix!

Just watched the Chinese Grand Prix through live streaming. Boy, was it an interesting race! So much overtaking and exciting moments! Also glad to see Nico Rosberg of Mercedes AMG Petronas get his first victory in his Formula One career. It also happened to be Mercedes' first win as a works team since 1955! He started from pole position, and went on to hold off the other drivers to grab his first win. Great drive from Nico, but a shame his teammate, Michael Schumacher retired with a loose wheel early in the race. Apparently a mechanic failed to screw the nut into the wheel, resulting in Schumacher stopping the car to prevent any more damage to the car. Such bad luck, as he was then running in second position. Could have been a Merc 1-2... Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, both of Mclaren Mercedes, came in second and third respectively. Here are the rest of the results:

Wembley, here we come(again)!

WE'RE IN THE FA CUP FINAL!~

Hi there! So happy to be a fan of Liverpool, as they've booked a spot in the final of this season's FA Cup! They defeated Mersey rivals Everton 2-1 in a pulsating game earlier. Not only the win being a shocker for me, as we were a goal down in the first half, but for the fact that Andy Carroll scored the winner for the second consecutive match! By the way Luis Suarez scored the equalizing goal. I do hope this is a good sign of things to come for Carroll. Wow...a second final this season, and also a second visit to Wembley for the Reds... Amazing times indeed...

The other semifinal will be played tomorrow, and it will be contested between Chelsea and Tottenham. May the best team win.

denied by the woodwork (again!)

ADUI! Now I feel the muscles acting up. Leg muscles, to be more precise. I just came back from playing futsal with Saiful and other Cilantro Academy guys, and it has been at least two months since I last played the game. Now my feet are aching. Poor feet o mine...

Anyways, the futsal session went well. I tried to improve my style, but I found it hard. A kind guy whom I played with told me to make a few changes in the way I defend, so I've learnt something new today. Positioning for me has been an enigma. Futsal positioning is different from field football, so a big thanks to that guy who not only taught me something new, but also settled the bill for us all. Hahahaha! Tried to go forward a few times, and with my limited range of skills I guess I should be thankful that I got one shot on target! However, it didn't materialize in a goal for me. Unfortunately, my weak shot managed to beat the 'keeper at close range but struck the post. MOTHER-TRUCKER!!! This is the second time I've played futsal and not score and also hit the post once! Maybe I'm gonna stay away from futsal for a while. Call it a 'sabbatical'. Don't know why, but I guess I'm just not comfortable playing the game that I so-called like. A break from it all should be good...

A not so funny thing would be the fact that I didn't eat dinner at all yesterday! (I call it yesterday as I started playing at 9-ish.) Didn't eat anything prior to the game, because I wouldn't want to feel queasy while playing. But it's late already, and I have replacement class (later), so tahan till tomorrow lah. Grrr.....

Right then...I guess I better hit the sack. Got replacement class MUCH later in the morning. Got to wake up early on a Saturday. How depressing. Sigh.....

TOO COOL!

*Certain events were from yesterday*
TOO COOL! That's what I can say about my 'impromptu' trip up to Genting Highlands with Eric. We actually went for dinner, but after that wanted to do something 'fun', and voila! we ended up going to a 'few' places first before GH. We wanted to go to Ulu Yam to see the waterfall and also to visit the place, as we have never visited this particular area before, so Eric took the Lebuhraya Rawang to go there. Naturally on the way to Ulu Yam we stopped by Rawang. Basically not Rawang itself, but Tesco Rawang! Hahaha! Strange but true. So, after Tesco, we headed back on the trail to Ulu Yam. Reached there, but since it was dark we 'gave up' the opportunity to visit the waterfall (postponing it to another day, and go during DAYTIME!). Saw GH in the distance, so we didn't give a damn and just went with it. Boy, was it nostalgic! First of all, it was because 1) the last time I went to GH was more than a decade ago, and now here I was, admiring it again! And 2) the chilly wind there reminded me of my trip to Melbourne (in winter, of course) in 2010. *Such bliss* Took the old road there, and it was scarily dark! But maybe that just adds to the 'feeling'. Haaaa..... Anyways the windy road leading up was nice, and since it was already midnight-ish, there weren't many cars to jostle with on the road. Once we reached there, we stopped by Old Town White Coffee for supper, then walked around the place to see what was still going on at late hours. Surprisingly there were still many 'night people' at the pubs, fast food outlets, etc! Totally fun! Left around 2-ish. Reached Subang around 3-ish. Got a drink, and on the way back I decided to stay over at Eric's place as I wanted to follow him to church. Haven't gone to church for a long time! Better to go once in a while.....

*Back to today's events*
Stayed at Eric's place. Woke up at 10:15. Church was at 11, so I listened to music while waiting for him to wake up. Went to church with Eric, which was very near his house. Worship was almost ending when we arrived, which was a relief as I didn't know most of the songs sung there. Hate it when it's like that! Anyways the message from the pastor was quite nice to listen to, but the way he delivered his message was uninteresting. But good to go to church lah... No harm... Had lunch afterwards at Mr.Teppanyaki in Sunway Pyramid. The food was okay, but I very much prefer my teppanyaki meal prepared by an authentic Japanese chef. The chefs in Mr.Teppanyaki are foreigners. Not being racist, mind you. Just stating what I feel. Oh well I guess if I want a Jap to prepare my meal I have to go to a 'real' Jap restaurant. Haaa.... Eric sent me home around 2-ish, and yeah, here I am, blogging and Facebook-ing. A bit tired. Could use a nap now...

That's all for my 'adventures' over this weekend!

*BTW* it's the 1st of April! HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

Problem? x2

Oh man.....this is not looking good at all. First, I have problems sleeping. Couldn't sleep at all. Yes, I know I slept late, but still this doesn't explain why I couldn't even get a short rest! Don't recall even sleeping at all! *sigh*
Then there's the OTHER problem: Liverpool being 2-0 up against a 'relegation-threatened team' and yet can lose 3-2. WTF? Nothing much to say anymore, I guess. Better leave the result as it it. No point talking about it. Hahahaha...

*bloody tired but have to go to the kitchen today for a full-day! Gosh!

WEM-BER-LEY again.....

~FA Cup quarterfinal result : Liverpool 2 - 1 Stoke City~
.....and we are going to Wem-ber-ley! Wem-ber-ley!.....

I'm blogging at 2 A.M. Last few nights I have been sleeping late. VERY late, in fact. Somehow I just can't get my body to be tuned to the right settings. Timing already out! Hahahahaha!
Want to sleep, but damn weather has been rather humid. Feel like taking a late shower soon... Bloody hell! I bathed two or three times yesterday! Damn...shampoo almost gonna finish liao! *pekcek* maybe I should just go take a shower... Yeah, set my mind to it already... Hehe~
Wheeeeee! No class today (already past midnight, so it's already Monday), because our timetable says Mondays are off days. Can wait for some full-length movies from YouTube to load, and watch them later. Lalalalala....... *bliss*
Ahh...what was the reason I wanted to blog about... Oh yes! It is regarding Liverpool's 2-1 win over Stoke City in the FA Cup quarter-finals that just ended a while ago. Luis Suarez opened the scoring, only for the lead to be levelled by (of all people) Peter Crouch (a former Reds man). Stewart Downing made sure we were returning to Wembley for our semifinal match for the first time since our League Cup victory last month with a late winner. Of all the people to be the matchwinner it had to be Downing. He's still rubbish in my eyes, but if he keeps scoring then just maybe he might be my favourite player. Hahahaha! The win means we advance to the S-Finals, and could potentially meet Sunderland or our Merseyside rivals Everton. Now, a Liverpool - Everton semifinal would be explosive. WHAT A MOUTHWATERING CLASH IT WOULD BE! Hehehe... *let's keep our fingers crossed that it would turn out that way*.....
Alrighty then... Me gotta get some sleep, otherwise I would be like a zombie once classes resume! GOOD MORNING peeps!!! xoxo

SG = still the best

GOOD MORNING, PEEPS! first time i have blogged so early in the morning! LOL! anyways, WHAT COULD BE A MOTIVATING FORCE FOR ME THAN LEARNING OF A STEVEN GERRARD HAT-TRICK IN A DERBY??? Yes, it doesn't get any better than this... Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard marked his 400th league appearance with a hat-trick to settle the 217th Merseyside derby at Anfield. Wonderful news, simply wonderful. Gerrard is STILL the indispensable one... No words left to describe this...

*YNWA!

*You'll Never Walk Alone!
