Sporting Heroes!!!

Cheng, sorry that i was not able to meet up with u when i was back the other week.. only 2 days and not enough time as i was quite tight up with family stuff to settle also.. seriously i shud be back more days next time.. perhaps a week, if not sure not enough time want.. haihs. makan all penang food also tak sempat... GRRR..

wanted to post a comment in your new post on the outing with Jian Ming and Selina, but i somehow dunno why i cant post it there.. apasal ar? hehe..

==========================================================

Ok, the reason me writing this post is to express out how my fave team is back in the hunt for the Barclays Premier League title.

After the champions league exit at the hand of Bayern Munich, it was so hard to swallow but life has to go on, you win some, you lose some.. you aint going to win all the time..

and then we drew at blackburn last weekend. it was an agony and i was certain enough that we are out of the title race with Chelsea winning and widening up the points.. and then this week was exceptional.. manchester derby is something you do not want to miss out.. and so, my colleague and I decided to stay back at office after our news at 8pm to watch the match..
and again, we were frustrated that it is going to be a second consecutive stalemate for United.. and with 30 seconds to go, i was muttering to my colleague 30 seconds left on the stoppage time, do u think we can produce something to win it??.. and the rest like they say is history... Paul Scholes pop-up to head in a beautiful cross by Evra.. it was that fantastic. and we were shouting and jumping mad at office. there were only 2 of us in the newsroom, the rest of ppl was upstairs as they have a live show going on with Rugby Asian 5 Nations.. but we were estatic.. we could not believe it.. we finally got that luck and we are now a point behind chelsea after surprisingly they lost to Spurs last nite.. and with 3 games to go, it's GAME ON.
and TODAY at work could not be much better scripted.. it's again, my colleague and I on shift on sunday.. and both of us are MAN U fans.. and she was getting ready Glory Glory Man United Song to be played at her desktop when those Liverpool's and Chelsea's fan walk in to office.. and we couldnt have chosen a better moment.. our big boss who is also a liverpool fan was also in office.. and we played it out LOUD.. and liverpool's fan were closing their ears and pretending that they did not hear anything at all... and the fact tat they perli us Man U fans when we lost to Bayern.. , it was a sweet revenga and definitely a payback time.. Big Boss was laughing/smiling when the song were being played.. haha.. we were satisfied... but again, we are hoping, Liverpool to do us a favour when they meet Chelsea on the 1st of May..

in short, chelsea still has the upper hand now with 1 point advantage and if they do win the League Title, i will be happy for them but Man United will be fighting all the way till d last second and not giving up. even if we did not win, i had an awesome time around with a bunch of ppl who are FUN! today certainly was a good day working!

oh, btw, we should also be proud that OUR mixed Doubles pair won at the Asian Badminton Championship in New Delhi, India.. a great TONIC and a BOOST to our BADMINTON SQUAD! they fought all the way and i am so proud of THEM! congratulations Liu Ying and Peng Soon! =)
and also to the runner up for the WOMEN DOUBLES team of Vivian and Khe Wei...

Nicol David also won in the finals of the Cayman Island Open beating 2nd seed, jenny duncalf in straight sets.

Congratulations to our national heroes and many more wins for them with the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Asian Games this year!

Cheers to our Malaysian Sporting Heroes!
