The Special One says...

This is a wonderful quote taken from ESPN soccernet news with Jose Mourinho on Chelsea's loss. It's pretty funny and after seeing MU win the double this season. Every MU fan has the right to slap mud in Chelsea's face for as long as it's rightfully possible.

'In my philosophy it was a very bad one because in football 'almost' means defeat and Chelsea almost won the Carling Cup, almost won the Champions League and almost won the Premier League. Almost is nothing.'

It is...but..

It's a triumphant day today but not due to personal triumphs. I celebrated watching MU beat Chelsea's ass in the Champions League. And then I watched 2 hours of very enjoyable American Idol finale. Despite all the things I cheered for, I feel a heaviness in my heart. It doesn't feel nice when glory is overshadowed by looming black clouds.

Manchester United triumphs!

I woke up at 4.45am and quickly stumbled to my computer to check the final results of the Champions League finals between MU and Chelsea. Gosh! Stalemate fulltime at 1-1 with a goal each from Ronaldo and Lampard...I thought I would get a result by now. So I went back to bed for 15 minutes and got back up as my dad switched on the TV to see the 2nd period of extra time. The supremacy of it boiled down to a penalty shootout. All fans would have been stricken when they saw Ronaldo's spot kick saved by Cech. As I watched Terry stroll towards the spot to take the kick that might have ultimately handed the trophy to Chelsea. He smugly adjusted his captain's armband as if saying that he will be a hero captain. He wasn't! He missed the goal by a mile as MU's hopes came back alive. Level again. Terry sat sobbing in devastation. Finally, Anelka steps up and the hero of the day was MU's Van Der Sar as he saved the kick at the crucial moment and Manchester United are champions. Every red shirt ran towards the goalkeeper in joy as the camera focused back on Mr Chelsea, Terry, still sobbing uncontrollably as I did a little victory dance in my head.
Finally, the Champions League trophy is back in MU's hands after a long time coming. Football, the game where big men cry and bigger men defy the odds to lift the crown. Hurray MU for the double.. Premier League champions and Champions League kings!

Chuck

Chuck is a new tv series currently showing on AXN every Monday night. It’s a hilarious, action packed show and the leading guy starring as Chuck (Zachary Levi) is so totally adorable…in a geeky kind of way. Geeky yet cool. And the girl, Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski), is a new actress from Down Under…I like her too. Those 2 characters look cute together. One is nerdy and panicky whilst the other is a tough chick. And of course, Casey, the bulky, serious-looking NSA agent. He sure tries very hard to look scary.
It’s about this regular guy next door, Chuck who works in Buy More and happens to stumble upon government secrets which also happens to have been lodged into his memory. Sarah is a CIA agent and Casey is an NSA agent sent to ‘protect’ him because he now holds valuable information and I suppose everyone wants him dead.
Eventually, Sarah started working undercover in a hotdog shop and Casey took up a job in Buy More, both to keep an eye on the clumsy, ditzy Chuck. As you can imagine, all kinds of action-packed yet comical events start occurring to the 3 of them (and each of them probably has some dark past) as they try to dodge numerous danger that falls in their path while trying to discover the secrets that Chuck holds. I must say that, Morgan who is Chuck’s best friend, is one hell of a pain in the ass. He is so irritating. Anyhoo, totally loving this show!

Glory, glory Man United

The 2007/2008 Barclays English Premier League CHAMPIONS goes to Manchester United.A 1st half penalty coolly taken by Cristiano Ronaldo and a stunning pass from Rooney to allow Ryan Giggs to score the 2nd goal was enough for MU to clinch the Premiership title. Next up, I hope they kick Chelsea's A** in Moscow.

Bring On The Wonder

Now playing : Susan Enan - Bring On The Wonder

I heard this beautiful song while watching one of the episodes of Bones. It's called Bring on the wonder by Susan Enan. It sounds so soothing and the chorus kept playing in my head all night long.

**Bring On The Wonder**
I can't see the stars anymore living here
Let's go to the hills where the outlines are clear

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

I fell through the cracks at the end of our street
Let's go to the beach, get the sand through our feet

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls for too long

I don't have the time for a drink from the cup
Let's rest for a while 'til our souls catch us up

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
