Goodbye 2009

2009 ended on a high for me, Nando and Liverpool – I got engaged, Liverpool is on a winning run and Nando recently became the fastest Reds player to score 50.  Thank you God!

Around this time last year, I was  somewhere in Marrakech, enjoying my single life with Fiza and Shirah. Since then, Shirah got married in the blink of an eye, Fiza is now enjoying a cruise on the Nile and I’m happily cohabiting with my fiancē. Am loving our love nest, especially my fortress of solitude.

2009  is pretty eventful for me, and I’m not just referring to the global recession. Highlights below:

• Memorable V-Day at Banyan Tree, Bangkok

• Conversion class for Bryant aka Dean

• Liverpool FC in Singapore

• Trips to Banyan Tree Bintan

• Getting my driving licence (oh oh)

• House-hunting; finally living away from my family (though they are still 1 mrt stop away, lol)

• Engagement (and in that process, becoming a Mac user)

• New Moon/Vampire Diaries/Avatar/Kaiser Chiefs/Prodigy/A-Trak/F1/Top Gear/Top Chef/Battlestar Galactica!

• Getting my first perm/LV & Coach bag/Tiffany & Co jewelry/fake eye lashes (embracing my girly side here)

• Birthday celebration at Lighthouse

It's still in the fridge. Thank you Fiza!

2010 got off to a good start with us and the Craigs gorging down delish BBQ food and admiring the fireworks from the patio. Hope for more personal accomplishments and overseas adventure in the months to come…

Disappointing

It was a bad start to Liverpool’s 09/10 campaign yesterday when they lost to Spurs at White Hart Lane. I would call this a minor hiccup in our quest to win the league. It’s too early to tell whether the team will or will not cope with the loss of Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, although I must say, Lucas is not exactly a good replacement for central midfield. Not that we have a choice; our little prince is still sidelined, but please, what do you know about raising our game, Lucas. I would definitely single him out as one of the worst players out there and the GerNando combo wasn’t exactly potent either. It didn’t help that our 2 central defenders clashed with each other, and at times, Torres looked like he was going to limp off the pitch :\

Nevertheless, we have Robbie Keane to thank for not banging a hat trick in the first half (kudos to Reina) and is there an age limit for linesman? Because apparently, Rafa thinks the fourth official is too young (hence too blind/dumb/immature to call for penalty/hand ball?) It’s pointless to cry foul over a robbed penalty or a slight handball, when you fielded a less than stellar first XI.

Lessons learnt in simple formula:

Yossi Benayoun > Ryan Babel (because we need a hustler, not a balloon chaser)

Official’s age > 26 years old (for Rafa to approve)

Kristian Nemeth > Andriy Voronin (shameless promotion here)

Daniel Ayala = ??? (thank God he came through)

Everton at the basement of the league table = good start to my week

On the bright side, at least we didn’t get our arses whooped by a team of median age 21.
