So many things happened in such a short span. Sometimes you really wonder how time flies. Went to NUH to visit Elwin today, thankfully he's alright and was discharged today. Jos was very nice to give me directions on how to get back from there. But I decided to take another route and nearly got lost. Haha. Went to West Coast and had no freaking idea how to go back. Walked to the nearest bus stop and luckily they had a bus to Clementi. While on the bus, realised that I should had cross the overhead bridge over AYE; would had reached Clementi than.
Realised that in order for Juve to keep a clean sheet, they must have 22 players. Evidence? Look at this morning's game against Inter. Two of their goals were conceded when they had almost all 11 players behind the ball. Inter was heavily outnumberd when they attacked yet they managed to score. 3-1 was too flattering to Juve, 3-1 would had been more respectable/ Nice too though that Man U is in the finals of the FA Cup. Henry acted like real sour grapes by whining that the schedule is too tight. Hey Man U won the treble with an even tighter schedule. They played more games than Arsenal would play this season assuming Arsenal did really win the treble. Of course, they now cannot win it.
While at church the past two weeks, bumped into people whom I've not met for a super long time. And I mean super long. Like my Godsis, have not seen her for about a year, so was very happy when I met her on Thursday. Quite disappointed that couldn't join her and Godma for lunch. Think that's the second or third dinner appointment with them that I've missed. Sheesh. Met also Daffy for mass. She's another person whom I've not met for quite a while. About two months I guess. Maybe it's short but it's quite long to the both of us. Bumped into Mer, Nick and Kristy too. Met Clarence too but not in Church but outside cine.
Caught a bit of the documentry by Nat Geog on Dian Fossey. Really admire her one person crusade against poachers. Though she was brutally murdered about 18 years ago, her work is still carried on. Her murderers might have taken her life but her work lives on. Sounds very cliche but that's exactly what's going on.
What's happening in Fallujah is so similar to what happened in Somalia. The humilating of American corpse and US centering their attention to one place and one person. In Somalia it was Aideed and in Iraq it's al-Sadr. It's going to be so ironic if they again try to snatch him from his office or try to arrest sme of his key followers in day light raids. The parallel also is that the hatered towards the Americans is very high among the people living in Fallujah. I dare not imagine how Iraq will just self destruct the moment the coalition leaves them. No, I'm not saying that the coalition is doing a solid job. What I'm saying is that they are the ones that form a thin line that seperates Iraq from an all out civil war. Not only will the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds fight to try gain power, but there will also be inter faction fighting. Maybe the true hope of peace within Iraq is ironically another Saddam.
Another reason why I hate terrorist. My MRT and LRT stations no longer have dustbins. You bastards happy now?? MRT fees most probably going up than now the dustbins. And you still have the cheek to negotiate your release with no more violence. When will you ever learn?
