memoirs

Sometimes, you just wanna play football, with all the important people watching by the side cheering you on yea? With the ball at your feet, you know you can repay them the faith. The adrenaline pushed your limits.

Coming back into midfield to collect the ball, you go past one. Two. And three. The crowd stood up. With all your might, you strike the ball.

The net bulges. Its a goal.

I've decided to do the "30 facts about myself" here instead of fb. FB's too open.

1. My favourite colour is red. Somehow but not entirely influenced by United?
2. Mac's breakfast is the best (=
3. I respect people based on their character, not age. I despise people who 'abuse' their age and behave in a totally inhumane manner. Don't wanna elaborate on the net.
4. I love, I breathe, I live Soccer. But im not really good at it =X Really envious of people who're really talented in this sport. I will continue to work hard though (=
5. The lowest point of my life happened when I was in sec3. Some scout came to watch us play football and I was trying hard to impress, broke my leg instead. Got admitted into hospital and had a metal plate inserted into my leg. Rushed home 2 days later, only to witness Man united's loss to chelsea. =( Imagine laying on bed with a broken leg, thinking about the loss against Chelsea. Emo shit. Unable to walk, I spent the whole month at home. Without Epl.
6. I don't like to pay attention in class. I prefer to study myself. More "time efficient"? haha.
7. I can't believe I was a Centerback in sec 2. (I am now a striker)
8. Breaking my leg actually made me a better person. Learned to look at things from a different perspective.
9. My family is not rich, but I can assure you that the laughter and fun here is alot better than most families. (=
10. I am afraid of butterflies. Since 18 years ago.
11. As a kid, I liked basketball more than soccer. But the absence of a Basketball court near my home (best thing that ever happened to me) encouraged me to pick up soccer. Didnt look back since(=
12. I set my watch 10mins faster so I will never be late.
13. I value punctuality alot. And I feel that it makes me an idiot. I am trying hard to change by being less punctual. ( My watch was 15mins faster before I adjusted it again for this purpose)
14. I love Manchester United. I wrote this at number 14 for a reason. "One - four" in chinese is pronounced as 一世. Which means Forever.
15. I skipped wedding dinners, family outings within and outside of the country for Manchester United matches. So I conclude that if a girl made me skip a Manchester United match, I really love her LOL. May that day comes.
16. People say I am crazy about football and Manutd. Its not fanatic, its passionate.
17. I plan ahead for pretty much everything i'll be doing.
18. Thats my weakness.
19. Hua Yi Secondary School will always hold a special position in my heart.
20. I think I can judge a person on whether he can play Soccer by the way he look. HAHA. Aura ya know?
21. Be nice to me, I'll return it(=
22. I may not look nervous when I am, but watch the number of times I go to the toilet before a significant event. Stomachaches give me away.
23. Patience is key to anything in life. All will work out eventually(=
24. As you can see, im quite optimistic.
25. My store room is scary. 7 soccer balls.
26. If someone I hate looked down on me, I'll strive hard to prove him/her wrong, but when someone important comdemn me to failure, its sad that I really would believe him/her.
27. I like chocolates that are not so sweet.
28. I don't believe in forcing the way through. I prefer weaving through the spaces in between. haha. I'll be impressed if anyone managed to get this one (=
29. I don't drink and smoke.
30. Lastly, keep faith and believe in me, for I'll be able to achieve much much more with people behind me (=

I took 3 weeks to finish this post LOL.

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“It was great, Dad.”

“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the son.

“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

“We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Things money can never buy. (=

Listening to Boston makes me sad. Really. Its a great song though, enjoy (=

I finished studying for my test tmr, so now its time for me to do something I love. Lets go Manchester United awhile before I hit the blankets.

It will be a purely Manchester United post. ( warning? LOL )

United fans, whats your Manchester United moment of the season?

When Owen scored the winner against City, I knew what I've done was worth it. I "ponned" a wedding dinner LOL. But thats not the moment. Its actually..


This :D Rushing back home on a cab after my guitar lesson, I reached home with 20 mins left to play. Its a must win game for United if we were to win the title! No better way than to win it! Paul the octopus? Nah. We have PAUL SCHOLES! Although we lost the title eventually, this was the goal that allowed us to keep believing till the every end. :D Yes, tears rolled when it went in :D


Giggsy.


I loved this moment. Shows how much it meant yea?

People asked if my favourite player in Manchester United is Wayne Rooney. No its not. To be worthy of my wholehearted support, u need delication. U need discipline. And most importantly, loyalty. I am not saying that Rooney's deprived of the attributes, but it takes time to prove yourself yea? My favourites are Giggsy, Scholesly and Neville! I love them. The last surviving members of the class of 92 (= It would have been perfect if good old Becks' still here )=



The best memory I have of him?


Almost single handedly rescued us with two late goals after coming on!

Up next:



Single Handedly saved England!

Just before you feel he's talented after watching his heroics, any idea how he practiced his freekicks? He plants a golf club in the middle of a field and aims at it. This is David Beckham. Injured he may be, I've no doubt that he'll return even stronger! *Salutes.

haha. I wished I had the energy to continue typing. Cya people.

Soccer's my Oxygen, and Manchester United is my heartbeat. Long live the beautiful game.

It’s the way you feel when you step on the field that lets you know you couldn’t live without this sport.

Goodnight.
