i finally know how it feels like to have a heart attack in the middle of the night.

Not me, i didnt have one else you wont see a bubbly smiling handsome me today. BUT all people staring into the television, channel 5 or ESPN at 2.53 am, when most of us were blissfully snoring away and thinking of meeting a handsome looking me the following day, must have felt that way. i reckon some were whisked off to A & E departments over singapore after this, and God bless their health now.

In case you still dunno, the greatest sporting battle was taking place in Stade de France, one of the biggest stadium in europe. The UEFA Champions League. The stage was set-- Arsenal vs Barcelona. Ok ladies at this stage you prob may want to navigate fast away from this webbie cos you think soccer is a stupid game of 22 men, plus linesmen and referee running after a ball. BUT HOLD ON. I admit some soccer matches are boring, some turning into rugby matches (let's link BOLTON BLACKBURN) BUT Arsenal vs Barça this HAS to be the BEAUTIFUL game. A game filled with passion and sheer attacking flair. No Liverpool defence. No Chelsea rubbish 1 goal tactic. Even you all cant appreciate, at least appreciate the players. There's eye candy in Henry. Ronaldinho. One female fren of mine oggles at Rafael Marquez of Barca so much that she has transformed from Orchard Road hopper to full time Barca fan. So ladies, it's worth it. Trust handsome me.

I still havent come to explain the main thesis statement (this doesnt bode too well for GP CT next week) Why the heart attack? Well Arsenal was playing so well and owning Barcelona then suddenly some African black sprinter by the name of Samuel E'too got tripped over by Jens Lehmann.

Now i'm sure it's very innocent. After all German keepers are aggressive but actually tofu on the inside. (that's why oliver kahn reportedly cried when he heard the Germany No.1 position to Lehmann) But the acting of the african was so good, so convincing he could put a solo act better than raffles players' shifting gears). Ok i'm not racist and have anything against african people and he's fast and everything and lehmann was outclassed, but he fell down too easily. handsome me could do much better. So the norwegian ref sent Lehmann off.

Arsenal DOWN BY 1 MAN! GOALIE OF ALL PEOPLE! But bless them , they kept their spirit up and became more resilient. They even got a goal by Campbell. And they held on. i mean this really should what the rafflesian spirit be about. TEAM SPIRIT. Arsenal.

But alas, Barca is the best attacking team in the world now. They broke the deadlock in 76 min and hearts of arsenal fans glued to the tv and clinched the winner in 80th. What really breaks the hearts of arsenal fans is that Thierry Henry may be having his last match. Why would he kiss the pitch at Highbury at the last premiership game?

This reminds me of the rugby match RJ vs SA. I really wanted to go down and watch and support the match, or other finals but the response was colder than the iced teh at store no 2. I noe you all need to mug and stuff, but come on, this is a final! Where's the spirit? Damn sad if whole life in RJ is just achieving As for tests, CTs, Promos, A levels, for striving for that chairman or captain of cca and accumulate cca excellence when you didnt really have the heart for it, and doing a lot of CIP when again you didnt have the heart for it.

Life is short. Shorter in RJ. Live a life with no regrets.
