Chelsea to meet Liverpool in FA Cup semis

Chelsea and Liverpool have been pitted together for the fifth time this season, in the FA Cup semi-finals.

The sides have already met twice in the Barclays Premiership and twice more in the Champions League, with Chelsea winning the league encounters and the European meetings both draws.

In the other semi-final Middlesbrough or Charlton will face West Ham. The ties will be played on April 22 and 23. Chelsea and Liverpool also came face to face five times last season, meeting twice in the league, in a two-legged Champions League semi-final and the Carling Cup final. Again the Blues triumphed in both league meetings and the final at the Millennium Stadium, while Liverpool won the Champions League semi-final over two legs en route to winning the competition. Middlesbrough and Charlton will play again on April 12 after a goalless draw at The Valley last night, while West Ham booked their place in the last four with a 2-1 win away to Manchester City. Reds boss Rafael Benitez is expecting a 'difficult tie' against the Premiership champions. He told the club's website: 'It will be a difficult game for both teams. 'We know each other so well and when you play a cup tie you know it will always be a difficult tie. We shall see what happens. 'They are a very good side but so are we. We have a lot of confidence and we know it's a game we can win.'

why is it so?

my friend once told me he fell sick from eating ham from lunch...
then i was baffled because i was with him the day before and we had only eaten laksa the day before..
do you know why?

is it the indisputable truth? or is it reality?

sted 01/17/2004

I am sorry that i took so long in
coming around to give you your
testimonial~. Seems like being on time
has never been a priority for the ACES!
YAh , so many things to write about you
and so little space. If i were to
translate my feelings into words, guess
your friendster account is going to
crash.
Not only from the length of the
testimonial but becoz it is too mushy
and maudlin for ani one to take it!
Yah counting , we knew each other for
around 10 years! Didnt seem like you
changed alot, still see u as the
demure, shy and caring sch ger in blue
pinafore. Of coz something tells me U
are now a wild rocker chick studying in
NUS arts, dazzling the guys there,..
professors included.. and that u are
like somewhere in the league of COOL
PERSOnaLities! But i always shake away
those thoughts and just look at u as if
u still have those two plaits and wear
the pink snoopy or was it garfield ?
glasses.
Thanks for standning by my side whne
the going was tough. You and the rest
of the ACES made things much less
difficult for me. SO u are not going to
be a VEt after all.. but somehow i have
this premonition u are still going to
get involved in saving half the animals
on this planet.
always enjoyed going to your house, u
noe for a period, i had grown so fond
of your house that i actualli missed
it... and got pretty 'home' sick for
your house. haha guess that was in Sec
2 or 3.
I must say that our friendship is not
one full of fireworks or laser display.
We dont jump and hug each other on
sight or weep uncontrollably if there
is no news for 3 days consequtively.
However there is this space in my heart
specially reserved for yoU! That
despite not seeing each other weveryday
or every week or every month, I still
know that u are a true friend.. Really
something that i can trust and if i do
think abt u, it brings a glow to my
face and warmth to my soul!
I wish u all the best! and If u like u
may add a testimonial for me haha . I
give u the permission to lie in it..
lie about how nice how caring how
handsome how smart and many many more
conjured up qualities! haha SEEYa SOO

A friend who stood by my
side at both the best and darkest
moments in my life. How grateful am i
for this friend of mine, i really
cannot express enough with words. Knew
him for ( count my fingers) ... (then
use my toes).. oh it has been 10
years . 10 years which means 3650 days
of our lives . ok half our lives! hahah
it may seem bias if i praise him over
the heavens but there is hardly
anithing less tat can describe him!
seriously the stuff we went thru cannot
just be sum up in this small box! haha
we would hang out around our estates
durng our secondary sch days, the
playground that we go to, the place
called lao di fang coz we always meet
there.. till it is soo old to us!then
we would go karaoke-ing, go bowling and
so many many other adventures! hmm
perhaps the best thing i can say it
that Irwin made my life meaningful! He
added brilliant strokes of colors onto
my canvas, a gift that is more precious
than ani amount of money can buy! kay
lar ! We shall continue to be friends
till the sky turns pink! haha the road
ahead may be fogged and mysterious,
full of dangers and obstacles! but why
should i fear when i know he is
walkingthe journey with me? :D

NUS Judo Champions

i miss alot of my friends. it has been a really long time since i went out with another one else. except of course who else.and why am i not trying to be with the girl i like? all my own doing oink oink.. maybe i like this separation, haha as if.. too much time to be spent on judo and studies.. no time for other stuff soo no no right now.. anyway i shall meet up with the adventurous aces! after my exams.. dear irwin, meikhay kenneth and jezamine.. the two girls are working already and i am in the first year..still i am doing away with punctuation nowadays. the next would be grammar. followed by spelling. and finally i will no longer write. just kidding. woke up really late today, the after effects of yesterday's massive judo competition. did not much study. 3 chapters. so it is late at night. i shall burn the oil abit more after this. and YES. NUS won back the TITLE after squandering it to a extremely powerful SMU team last year. i shall record this momentous event down here.
there were 7 teams in all, two from NUS, two from NYP, one from SMU, one from NTU and one from Republic poly. SMU were the holders for last year, with two national female players and the heavy weight champion.
The team event goes like this. 7 members in a team, with 5 competing players and 2 reserves. out of the 5, 3 are guys and 2 are girls. so we play one guy one girl one guy one girl and one guy, simple. two teams face each other, first player from each team come up, usually the strongest, and fight begins with two of them for 3 minutes. and it goes on for the remaining 4 players. with the team having most number of wins going through to the next round.
as can be seen from the table, there are two sides, with nus A, smu and nyp on one side and nus B, ntu, nyp and RP on the other side. Now it was a headache trying to figure out which team to fit into which side and which players should we field on each team. SMU is naturally a team everyone fears. or feared. then we saw the quality of the girls from ntu, lots of them from HCJC school team, ntu is to be feared as well. then there is NYP with 4 brown belters around, two of whom are extremely tall and well built and the other two girls.
Most teams would try to avoid SMU, so it would be easy to see that NYP would play their best team on the right. so should we have our best team on the right and play two rounds before reaching the finals or should we have a head on clash with SMU on the left side ? then even if we stake it out on the right, there is NTU and NYP.
I had already thought of the lineup to face smu days ago. now the sticky question of ntu and NYp just disrupts my plans. I had wanted to go straight for SMU's best player and play our best girl against their second best girl. Of course, their lineup is unknown to me, but after much careful deliberation, of course their best player would be first and most probably they would want more points faster, good for morale and they will put Cheryl GOh( familiar name? sea games silver medalist... or was it bronze.. does it matter?) second as to wrap up two points in the first two games.
I had thought our game to be in the finals as most likely i would opt to evade them by taking the other route. but that was before i realise ntu and nyp had strong teams.
so we discussed it over lunch. we discussed it for another hour after lunch before submitting the final name list. the risks are there. but if the stronger team were to face smu earlier, we would be fresher and it would be a do or die thing. anyway we would have to face them in the finals if we chose to start on the right and have the weaker team on the left.
though i used stronger and weaker teams , the strength of both our nus teams turned out to be really fine and commendable. Phuong , jerry , and jiayong really were impressive. the girls were good as well. hongjiang faced too terrible opponents so it was hard on him while alby faced easy preys so..
in the end we decided to have the stronger team face SMU straight away and the other team fight it out on the right side. so in team A would be me, jerry alby and jianhao together with selene, liling and forgot who the other girl is... while team A would be PHuong, Jiayong, Hongjiang, Connor, Mingli, Cailing, Lijuan.
we faced SMU in our first round and i had thought the first match would be crucial.(naturally NYP opted their weaker team to play with SMU first and SMU won easily) with two of their girls being very strong, any one of our three guys lose, the game would be over. further more, team morale would be important, better to defend a point then to try and recover a lost point.
Earlier on, i had already played with Wenyun..(SMU's best player..) and not for the first time in my career i had lost a match due to silliness and carelessness. last minute of the game i had tried something foolish and it shall be a year again before i try for the individual title again.
ALby and Jerry who were in the team did not want or dare to play with wenyun, alby being convincingly thrown by wenyun just now and jerry is too light. so i shall face him again. somehow having played with him earlier on.. though losing, i felt confident.
we played again. and i won. down to the last minute my team mates performed even better by winning 3 out of the 4 remaining games. of course Cheryl goh won her bout. liling did extremely well by beating the other girl, winnifred.. winnifred had injured a finger on her left hand in an earlier game i think and it was all bandaged up. something which we did not really mind..
i am tired.. shall return to my books and continue another day.

is the giraffe too big or something is wrong?

what do you see

A boy pushes a girl on a swing. What is wrong here ? I thought this was a rather good one ; so I won't show the solution here (for the time being). You'll have to think about it ! Don't despair, once you see it, it's obvious.
The other is an optical illusion.. can you see why?
the last one would be an illustration that good cannot exist without evil and it is true of the converse.

IN deeep SHit

Hopefully next year I can be a year 2.. talked to Darryl just now. He called me to ask if I will be going down for his match tomorrow.
Lots to study. Why do I always leave things to the last min?
But then look on the bright side.. everytime I screw up my exams... or my life... i will actually do so much better the next year...
Always the optimist. This sunday will be the judo competition.. waiting for this to be over and I can fully channel my energy into my studies.. I think I am best around in NUS.... but might still not be good enough. Try my best this time, but next year definitely will be my year. But that might not be what others think....
SOmetimes I wonder if I am as good as I think myself to be? Always so confident.. maybe the rest just do not wish to hurt my delicate ego.
amusing thought.
ANnual general meeting next week. SHall run for captaincy.
it is a good thing that people like mingli and cailing and lijuan are considering for another year in the comm.. it would be nice working with them.
I applied for hostel today. Not much CCA points this year. HAve not claimed from my MEdicine mediquiz or Combined martial arts comm yet. Wondering if I should... only have 15 points... and I am in 4 committee... and representing the school for judo. doesn't matter.
Nowadays nothing hardly rattles me any more. I am always a picture of calmness... until I think about the 3000 plus pages of stuff I need to read and memorize for my 1st professional exams.
Actually I think it is good to be brought down to ground sometimes. I can only try again and work harder.
Darryl was reassuring when he said it would be quite hard to fail. Hope he is right
Once again I cannot wait for the exams to be over.
Applied for hostel. Did not want to choose KR. But most people told me it is the most happening. SO I barely had any choice.
Sherilyn injured her knee.. interesting.. I am just going to finsih that portion in my book. ANterior cruciate ligament.. attached to the tibia and passes backwards to the femur. MEniscus might be torn also. the watery bursae... that reduces friction and impact.
Veron brought her bf to training ... Jian hao was missing. So we had this joke that two of them might be together actually... Did not get a good look at the guy.. ahaha But we do know JH 's gf is called candy... so someone said veronica and candy same person... veronicandy. jerry and chenchung are still in disbelief. haha SOmetimes I just enjoy medicine. Just feel that it is such a privilege. Just love the knowledge and analytical process.know what is wrong with sherilyn's knee and of course treatment would be symptomatic for the time being... But before that.. still 3000 plus pages to devour. the way jerry carries her.. maybe he has the hots for her.. eww... haha another potential scandal. wonderful
BAck to the books
Sometimes I hate tuition... during which I wonder .. when I am in deep shit myself.. why am I helping you? for the money of course.. my dwelling bank account. But i truly enjoy teaching. I would really want to go into teaching.... but ambition and dreams are seperate stuff. Could have easily gotten the overseas teaching award.. fly to johns hopkins and enjoy 4 years of overseas life. 2 of my ex...exstudents i mean messaged me thankyous after receiving their Alevel results. MaYBE for someone used to getting F and Ds... getting B for a change is a welcomed change.
someday I still plan to go harvard. just for the prestige maybe. perhaps on an exchange to the teaching hospital there in year 4.
how time swoosh and wosh away,
enjoy
%&^$(&()&(*&^ still got time to blog. crazy ah
