And The Reds go marching on
Woke up at slightly past 3am to catch the Liverpool match today. Caught the final part of the first half, but in the middle of the second half I dozed off. Perhaps I was too tired, or maybe, just maybe I was smug with confidence that liverpool would walk off with the win. Instincts, perhaps.
When I got up in the morning to see my dad checking on the sports highlights on tv, I realized Liverpool did win. 1-0. And a very controversial goal to boot.
That should make the ego-inflated Chelsea eat some humble pie.
I think in this match, my brother and I finally had something common in aim. Both of us were rooting for Liverpool of course. I'm a Man U fan, although now I can't exactly say I'm the fan I was a couple of years back ( in primary school and lower secondary), with my initial soccer-mad zeal when my dad introduced me to the game. My dad has been a Man U fan for like a kazillion eons. 30-35 years? Goes to show how old my dad is. And my brother had to be the more 'exceptional' one by breaking the family tradition and supporting Liverpool. Probably next time, I will blog about why I lost some of my passion for Man U during a period of time.
Back to more pressing issues.
I'm already at an utter loss at what to say about the whole IR matter, probably because people have engaged in so much useless and inane debates about it that I have totally lost my interest in the matter. If they want to gamble then let them gamble la. With or without the casino they will still go on gambling.
Of late, I have seen a couple of friends expressing some feelings or emotions or past mistakes. One of my friends publicly announced about his mistakes and made the bold statement that he will be moving on from there, despite the guilt and pain, and after that announcement I guess I had to see him with an all new layer of respect. Another friend had a bad relationship, which was a mistake all together, and that caused her much grief and pain. But she's finally moving on and I'm glad for her.
Makes me ponder back on my old mistakes, although well, some are not so old. I'm still making mistakes and I guess in the past couple of months I've had my fair share of bad mistakes. Glad that in my weaknesses, God's grace is made perfect. I think like my friend Jy, I've just learnt to let go of the past. The memories will be etched onto my brain forever, but at least the torment it causes you can be eradicted all together if I keep believing in the grace of God. The past is the past. Just leave it behind.
Sorry for the soppy sentimental crap. Just bear with this soppy Raymond for the next few days, because more incoherent, sentimental, crappy posts will be coming up. :D
