Firstly, when the clock striked 12 midnight my daddy officially turned 55. We got him this really cute and funny card and some shirts. I didnt get to wish my dad until... about 2.30pm. =S We had family dinner... Everyone on my mum's side... (mostly everyone) The food wasnt that good as compared to the previous times we had it...
Secondly at 3.30am it was a showdown between Barcelona and Liverpool. Champions League Last 16. By the final whistle... Liverpool won!!! 2-1. The irony is that Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise scored. Bellamy tied it before half time... And Riise scored the winning goal 17 minutes before full time. I didnt get to watch the match because I had to wake up early for college and I had a late night. (maybe not too late, but I was dead tired).
Did I mention anything about it? Well the last night, we had dinner at a restaurant in Imbi... (fantastic food... Remind me to bring you there one day) After that everyone came over to my house... Everyone would be my cousins, uncles, aunties, grandma and nephews... (maternal side) And then gamble gamble... Again... the first round, I was "helping" my uncle.. The way we play Black Jack is that everyone becomes the "chong" or banker... Each will be for three rounds then passing on to the next. So first round was my uncle... He distributed the cards and then he gave me the cards to open... Then Ace and a King... fulemak!! Not bad wei... I'm good luck!!! hahahaha so he untung la! then later on my grandma was the banker, and it was troublesome for her to stand up, shuffle the cards and then distribute right, and my aunt didnt wanna do it, so I ended up helping my grandma... Funnily, I stood right next to my uncle (the one I helped win). So I distributed the cards, and Bloody Hell, he got ace and a jack... Tell me about me bringing good luck. Hahahah then later on I went to help my dad... Picked up his cards...Aiyoooo like shit... king and two... then I was like... "must love the cards" in my head. And then picked up a card... was a three then 15 only... not enough... took one more... bloody hell... SIX ah!!! 21 la!!! See see!!!! GOOD YEAR FOR HORSE!!! hahahaha So then after awhile people started leaving... not many actually. Then I had college and told my mum I was gonna go sleep... So i prepped my bed for my sleep... and it was hard to sleep with all the laughing and shouting from downstairs. After awhile, i managed to start falling asleep... then my sister comes into the room and ons the light. bloody hell.. So I just cover my head with my yummy blankie... And then before I knew it I fell asleep. Before I got into bed I set my phone alarm to 3.30am. And I got WaiKit to call me if he was going to watch the match. Ends up he doesnt call 'cause he didnt watch it... AND I slept through the alarm... Which came as a bloody huge surprise because normally, I'd wake up the INSTANT the alarm rings... (shows how dead I was). SO that was that...
Since I didnt watch the match.. Lemme give you a bias report on the match...
REDS REIGN IN SPAIN ON NIGHT OF EURO JOY
Liverpool pulled off one of the most stunning results in their proud European history as they came from behind to defeat Barcelona 2-1 in the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.
Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise were the goalscoring heroes as the Reds took a major step towards securing a place in the last eight of this season's Champions League.Deco had earlier given Barca the lead but a Bellamy diving header two minutes before the break levelled matters and Riise sealed a memorable victory with a well-struck shot into the roof of the net on 73 minutes.
With Alvaro Arbeloa making his full debut, the Reds started encouragingly on what is one of world football's grandest stages but they were swiftly punished when Barca stepped up a gear.
Gianluca Zambrotta raced past Steven Gerrard on the left and whipped in a cross that was clinically converted by an unmarked Deco who'd ghosted in at the far post.
Javier Saviola then shot wide and Deco went close as the reigning European Champions turned on the style and threatened to run riot.
Some resilient defending saw Liverpool weather the storm and as the interval approached they clawed their way back into the game through Bellamy.
Minutes earlier, the Welsh striker had headed a Gerrard free-kick into the side-netting but he made no mistake when Steve Finnan centered from the right.
Initially it looked as though Victor Valdes had managed to keep his effort out and Dirk Kuyt was on hand to turn home the rebound but television replays later proved it had already crossed the line.
In an end-to-end opening to the second half both goalkeepers were called upon to ensure the score remained level; Valdes saving with his legs from Gerrard and Pepe Reina twice denying Messi.
The thousands of travelling Liverpudlians who had made the trip would no doubt have settled for a 1-1 draw at this stage but they were soon dancing with delight as Riise smashed home what was to be the winning goal.
Deco curled an effort onto the post late on and Scouse nerves were frayed as four minutes of time was added on but Liverpool dealt with the pressure to deservedly hold out for a win that will live long in the memory.
Where's my source?? The Liverpool website obviously!!! hehe
Sigh... The two players, Bellamy and Riise, scored... And Bellamy went and whacked Riise with a golf club a few days earlier... ahahahaha What i told people was that the whole liverpool team needed to whack each other up with golf clubs so that they'll all score goals... hahahaha. But its just funny la... dua dua that were in the "fight" scored... the irony.
Hehe, Crouch didnt start. He only had 4 minutes to play. Keke... Anyhow... I'm happy... damn happy!!!
