Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1
It's a privilege to be an Arsenal's fan in the
era of Arsene Wenger. Although, it
always seem one has a conscious
choice in the club one chooses to
support, in reality you don't
have much a
choice.
It's the same like in love. In the beginning,
you thought you consciously choose
your partner, but sometimes
when you think deep enough,
a lot of things happen by
coincidence for you to
know each other in the first place.
The fortune of a soccer club is like that of
a corporate company. It is not always
that rosy and that there are
period in a club history
when suddenly the
trophies just dried
out.
Isn't it weird if a dominant club just
keep on winning & winning. As
a supporter, that magical
feeling of winning
just disappears
with this level of consistency.
When u have caviar everyday; the taste
of it will be like drinking water, very
ordinary. I always think
a bit of turbulence is
a good thing.
To Wenger, trophy is not everything. It's
about the style of winning as well. I totally
support it! A trophy is just a piece of
cheap metal, there's no point
spending 100 million
to have the name of
your club
engraved in that metal.
Buying victory is like asking someone
to love you because you have
the means to provide he/her.
When Wenger leaves, Arsenal might
never be the same again. The best
thing to do in life is to always enjoy
the things you have while
it lasts.
When it time
to bid farewell, do it with a smile.

On Thursday 24 Feb, I finally sent my
thesis for printing.
It has been a long, long journey. The printing
& the binding cost me quite a lot. Nonetheless,
I'm glad that I can spend more time
on my other pursuits.
Postgrad has been a good growing-up
period in which I value my health
& my happiness more.
I think I could not imagine doing something
else in the past 5 years. However, it seem
impossible for me to spend another 5 years of
my life doing research work.
The worst part of the writing up is those
moments of doubts that arise occasionally.
With the completion of thesis, I feel
my lethargy, frustration &
unhappiness disappearing.
It has been a good 5 years; I can't wait
to draw a line and move on.
