Happiness
i am exuberant, jubliant, exhilarated, happy, wadeva! haha!
i watched the epic encounter between Manchester United and Chelsea at 12am this morning. Man Utd proved all the punters wrong by inflicting Chelsea's first defeat in 41 League games, wonderful!!! wo0t!
watched the match with my father. we had a small wager, with the stake being lunch today. you should have seen his facial expressions as the match was about to come to a close. (with Manchester United leading of course) his facial muscles were taut and his eyes were glued to the screen. haha. but Man Utd managed to maintain their lead to the final whistle. thanks to some steely and stoical defending. aaah. had a really filling Pizza Hut lunch. haha!
but i'm kinda infuriated by Mourinho's lofty attitude. he has just lost a match against a really great side. (i'm being objective here, all rite...) In fact, i think Man Utd's a side that could really thwart Chelsea's ambitions of clinching the Premiership title again. Man Utd is really a serious contender of Chelsea's in the title race, ok? Dun Play Play! (i'm being objective, eh??? :P) and Man Utd, the team which is supposedly falling apart, facing relegation(jkjk), in crisis, impotent.... actually BEAT them!!! so, why can't Mourinho accept the defeat graciously? yet he can still dismiss Man Utd's title hopes and say that "they are not good enough to be champions"? why can't the Special One be less egoistic, and say"yes, Manchester United is a great side... they managed to beat us. and they deserve to win the title. they're gonna win the Champions League as well." (i'm such a partial football analyst!!!) haha.
neway, the Man Utd squad last night really touched me, with their fighting spirit and that high-level commitment. how many teams in the world can produce a win against a world-class squad like Chelsea if they do not possess the mentioned qualities. especially alan smith. despite the scathing remarks skipper Roy Keane made abt him, like the one saying that he looks lost in midfield >.< he still exhibited utmost fighting spirit and played with gusto. so he managed to produce a few magnificent slides that helped Manchester United grab all 3 points from this exciting encounter. yay!!!
btw, i jus counted all the hong bao money for my birthday. received quite a neat sum! (shan't reveal the amount though :) but my mum only permits me to spend 50 bucks, the rest has to go into my bank account. out of the 50 bucks, i have already spent abt 30 bucks on a new soccer ball. really worth it though. the air cushion is great. I'm Loving It!!! i received 2 new books for my birthday as well. both by Dan Brown. 'Angels and Demons' as well as 'The Da Vinci Code'. so far, i have read abt 100 pages of 'Angels and Demons'. albeit i haf read onli abt 100 pages. it has been a really interesting read so far. i'm really enjoying every moment of it. hope to finish it by next week. then i can start on The Da Vinci Code. yippeeee! i love all my presents! thnks to all those who have given me presents, and those who have wished me :)
Manchester United rocks!!!
