& so I'm back.
Been battling away with exams for over a week now. Likely GPA is an estimated 3.6 to 4.0. Credible performance given the fact I'm back to studying after a 3 year hiatus & from a demoralising A level adventure. Likely results are:
SMM - C?
Maths - A. I'm not settling for any less
Java - A. Confident about it.
TCS - A.
IDis - I fucking hell better get a A for my 3K word report!
If I somehow impressed the teachers for my SMM exam, might just pull off an A for it. Otherwise I be contented with a C. No fails please!
Interview on Wednesday. Hopefully the Directors will be nice to me. Praying that I won't screw this up. Can't really turn to anyone else for help already.& my fees are calling me =(
S$1.2K???? OMFGLAH WHAT HAPPEN SIAL?
It seems weird that I'm totally comfortable with typing out all my woes here on the internet. Maybe it's because I don't really care anymore. Besides who on earth would bother about me? No one really cares about my existence anyways. & I'm strangely use to it already. All the emptiness, the loneliness, bitter disappointments & the humiliation. Just so use to it already.
Bayern Munich won. Beat Zurich & Hamburg. Now they're stuck in the Group of Death for the UEFA Champions League with English Citizens Man City, Yellow Submariners Villarreal CF & the Azzurri SSC Napoli. A real mess of a group that one.
I brought her to my workplace. Was the BEST day of my life ever. My boss told me I completely forgot the world when she was around. Even left my MP3 & hard-disk at the office! & I was totally cheered up when I had an entire conversation compared to the moronic 1-word-awkward-answers we been having. Though it scared me when my boss said she was beginning to be influenced negatively.
Intriguing really. Plus her new-found friends find joy in antagonising me. Should ignore it. Nothing but boys really. I have more important things to worry about. If I can't pay my fees, I'll have to say my byes to Poly life, including her...
Screwed up shit. Hope my PSEA still has money (which it should! Last check S$5K siol)
Ciaos my random passer bys. May you not be cursed with my luck.

Wow I don't really know why do I feel so emotional right now. Maybe it's because of all the pretentiousness in school. When will I find the day where I can just sit down somewhere in school & just read my books quietly? God knows really. With all the lessons all packed up together & mostly spending my breaks on FIFA 11 or with my classmates (which are hell a lot better than what I expected) I feared the worst really before coming to SP. Thought it was going to be yet another IJC despair for me really.
Then again it's only been 3 weeks after all.
& seeing you with another guy makes my heart rip apart really.
A#####
How I really love you.
(Sighs)
Why the fuck am I so emo right now????
& Schalke lost. As a German football fan, I'm disappointed with the Blues' performance. So much hype about their fortress-like Veltins Arena came up to nothing.
As a Bayern Munich fan however...
In your face!!!! Haha...
I need to get my head fixed up seriously. I don't like being so emotional. It's so attention-seeking really.
Unless subconsciously I do want attention. Odd really since I am like in the middle of the class really (guys at least, I hope!)
Arghh seeing her Facebook display picture with another guy really bums me out. I so need to get a life!!!
Bye random passer byes....

"Robben laments what could have been"
It finished 2-0. Scenes of jubilation erupted from the blue half of the Estadio Bernabeu & in Milan. Mourinho leads Inter Milan to their 3rd European title in stunning fashion.
It was a brilliant match-up between German efficiency & Italian tactics. Tactics proved to be the winning formulae that night.
& as Inter celebrate, Bayern are left to wonder what could have been their night. Having been under-dogs every step of the way, they proved stubborn & marched on all the way to the finals. But this season's top goal-scoring team & the "Comeback Kings" couldn't find the strength for 1 last time.
Bayern fans might lament how Ribery would have made the difference. We can only speculate. Bayern fans may lament how things would have been different if Muller had scored in the 46th min. We can only guess.
But the final showed Bayern's weakness in defence & a lack of a potent striker. & with Jorg-Butt hitting the late 30s, there is need for a more youthful alternative.
Mia san Mia
We are who we are....Bayern truly played like a relegation-bound team.

An Ivan Olic hat-trick fires FC Bayern to their 9th European Cup final after taking out Olympique Lyonnais 4-0agg. Right from the second minute, when Olic's attempted pass went behind Muller & he still got a shot just off target, many knew Die Bayern were in the mood. 2 well placed attempts by the French were all that Jorg Butt had to deal with.
Ribery's out for the final but if Hamit Altintop plays like how he did this morning, the French ace won't be sorely missed. & youngsters Contento, Badstuber & Muller all proved their worth in Europe's premier competition. Both Inter Milan & Barcelona would have 1 eye on FCB.
Bayern Munich are set for their 5th major European title since 1974-76 & 2001.
Typical Germans. That's how the Bavarian Reds played.
Typical Germans. That's how they'll win it.

Arjen Robben's sublime volley from a Ribery corner along with an earlier tight-angle strike from Ivan Olic seals Bayern's place in Europe's premier competition. For the 1st time since 2001/2002 season with Bayer 04's run to the final, there will be a German club present in the semifinals. Now Bayern must face Ligue 1 giants Lyon while Champions Barcelona duel with Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan in the other fixture
& now with Schlake's 4-2 reverse at Hannover 09, Bayern's 1-1 draw at the BayArena moves them 2 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Perhaps 2009/2010 could see a repeat of 2000/2001's treble.
Moving away from Bayern, I'm still awaiting my university results. Frightening really. Having to wait for months just to hear a yes or a no. Hopefully NIE would want new Geography teachers. & I'm not considering signing on either. Change of heart if you will.
Tommorrow's soccer. Hoping to get some outfield time. Still no $ for the gloves & my shoes suck. It's a Nike Mercurial in pinkish-red but it's meant for turf terrain. Silly mistake really.
Hoping for the best now. Ciaos random passerby(s)

It's a picture of a Predator by the way.
Lately I've become starry-eyed. Been dreaming too much of space explorations, black holes, meeting "Aliens vs Predator"-like beings, or perhaps Greys. There's just so much out there that it makes humanity look really...really midgety. & to think we claim that God made the universe with us as his finest creation when there's so much out there. From gravity-laden black holes to super hot blue supergiants to never-faltering pulsars to Earth-like homeworlds. Aren't we just so arrogant to claim that we are in the middle of it all?
Saddening isn't it?
& Bayern lost 2-1 to Frankfurt. I'm starting to doubt Die Bayern's ability to handle Manchester United in the UCL. Really losing hope....
Then again the ball is round.

Bayern did one hell of a miracle. Having won 2-1 at the Allianz Arena, everything looked set for the Bavarians march towards the last eight. But after 50minutes, ACF Fiorentina were leading 3-2agg. All was lost.
Then came the Oranje connection.
When Van Bommel fired home, making it 2-1, it seemed that a comeback was on the cards. But Jovetic's killer strike nearly ended Bayern's chances. But just 72s later, the Italians were robbed when Robben unleashed a 30 yard strike past Frey. Bayern win 4-4 agg on away goals.
& thanks to someone, I'm totally into Korean music & WGM....
I love you my Oh Bang Shi!!! =)

"Goal?"Bayern Munich 2-1 ACF Fiorentina
Too many refereeing mistakes in my opinion. Though not all were Overbo's mistakes but still, far too many controversies.
Bayern deserved to win, but no like this....
1st was the penalty.
Ribery brought down but Gomez still scores. Not a penalty but an advantage rule should have been played.
Then the red card....a tad to rough on Fiorentina, especially when Van Bommel & Klose were doing a rubgy technique of their own.
The the offside goal in the finale. Where's the linesman?
& after Bayern's 1-1 draw with Nuremberg, they're top...1 point ahead of "Neverkusen" Undefeated in 14 straight matches. Nice...
Wish I had that sort of luck during Monday Soccer.
Ciao....

Sheer boredom & the need to announce that I'm still alive has forced me to post once again here at innocentsorrows.bs.com....
& so I shall....
Firstly, I hate long holidays...since most of the time I either bored or alone.
Actually it's both but I didn't want to sound too pathetic.
& yes, still feeling bluey about some issues, for further references please read the previous post. No decision about university yet. Bachelor in Sport Sciences looks very tempting right now. A guy with my results can’t be too picky anyways.
Now for something serious!
…German football-wise of course.
Happy that Bayern has won 12 straight matches in every competition. & hope it’s 13th in Florence tomorrow night.
& will Stuttgart’s disaster season continue? Most likely.
Ciao passersby. Till next time.

2009 will end in madness for the Champions League
1) Liverpool out of the competition
2) Either Bayern or Juventus will join them
3) Big-spending Real, ageing AC Milan or recovering Marseilles will also join them
4) Inter or Barcelona could go too
5)If Italian sides fail to acheive more than German sides, Germany's coefficient will be higher than Italy's for next seaaon. It means we'll see just 3 Italian teams & now 4 German sides.
Madness really.
& I'll celebrate my b'dae at Mandai...fucking brilliant really...
& I did quit goalkeeping, I'm not joking about it at all.
I like got nothing so type now really...
SO ciao people...

2 more weeks to a life in National Service. Excited but nervous really.
They say NS is a guy's best & worst event in his life. Not sure about that though.
APPLICATION STATUS!
Assignment 1: Done
Assignment 2: Done
Assignment 3: Tommorrow
Scholarship : Done
400 word Essay : Just finished
& instead of Digital Animation, I'm going for product design instead. Wish NTU would reply me soon though.
Meanwhile the UEFA Champions League brings up an interesting fixture list.
Villareal CF (ESP) vs Arsenal FC (ENG)
Robert Pires will love to send the Gunners packing when they meet. And despite nearly losing to Greek side Panathialkos in the previous fixture, Villareal are no pushovers with the likes of Rossi & Marcos Senna in their team. But Arsenal are starting to get their gameplan together & Le Professuer will be planning to upset the Yellow Submarines with his youngster lineup.
Liverpool FC (ENG) vs Chelsea FC (ENG)
Rafa Benitez's 2005 champions will face last season's beaten finalists Chelsea for the fifth time in five seasons - four times in the knock-out stages and once in the group stage of the competition. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can repeat their performance in the 4-1 win over United. But Gerrard & company will be wary of Hiddink's Chelsea squad who are beginning to revive themselves. Drogba, Lampard & Terry will pose a significant threat to the Reds.
Manchester United FC (ENG) vs FC Porto (POR)
Immediately the English side are labled as favourites. And for good reason. With the likes of Rooney, Vidic & Ferdinand, United look set to cruise to the semi-finals. But amongst all of the remaining 8 teams, Porto are the least well known. And this could make Abel Resino's side a dangerous team for United.
FC Barcelona (ESP) vs FC Bayern Munich (GER)
The match between the 2006 winners & the 2001 champions is the highlight of the draw. However without star striker Miroslav Klose & possibly Luca Toni, things look bleak for the Bavarians. Bayern will be wary of the Catalan's Lional Messi & Thierry Henry as Barcelona's strikeforce will pose problems to the Bayern defense. But Barcelona know that their quater-final opponents are not to be belittled. Even Henry has warned his side that there will be no room for error when they take on Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Labels: Bayern, Germany, just a thought, pathetically stupid until I dun even know why i wrote it, soccer, something interesting, UCL
Lately to get my mind off Friday (Damn it I remembered!) , I've been reading sports articles on ESPNsoccernet. & I came across this particular article.
Man Utd lining up Ribery to replace Ronaldo?
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=623983&sec=europe&cc=4716
Immediately you think, why on Earth would United let Ronaldo go? But lets move away from the English perspective & move to the German viewpoint.
In the last few years there have been loads of high profile Bundesliga-to-Premier League/La Liga moves. Bayern's Ballack to Chelsea, HSV's Van Der Vaart to Real. & yet when you want to think of a EPL/La Liga - to - Bundesliga move, you simply can't. The most high profile moves were Chelsea's Pizarro to Werder (who used to play for Bayern), De Jong to Man City from HSV & Voronin of Liverpool to Hertha Berlin.
Gentle reminder: They were only loan moves.
It seems that the Bundesliga & Ligue 1 have lost their pride. Just once I would actually want to see German clubs fight to keep their star players. It's almost ridiculous that everytime the Bundesliga creates a star player, he's off to the La Liga or EPL the next season. It's no wonder Germany fares so "well" in UEFA Champions League knockout stages. For the record, currently only Bayern are in the competition.
The entire Bundesliga is becoming a nonsensical feeder league to Spain & England. No wonder the league standard has fallen. Why? Simply because French, German, Dutch & Portuguese clubs are totally less successful than their English or Spanish counterparts. It's like the clubs give their players little or no reason for them to stay. It seems that Bayern & their associates have lost their bloody pride in themselves.
In Football Manager, clubs are ranked according to national, continental & world-wide. In the Bundesliga, only Bayern are ranked continental. I dare not say anything about the French or Dutch clubs.
& for the record, I'm sick & tired of English, Italian or Spanish clubs buying their way to success. Disagree if you want, but the reality is that 3/4s of most of their squad aren't even associated to England, Spain or Italy respectively. Most of them have line-ups totally based on foreigners (notably from Germany, France, Holland or Brazil)
Why on Earth is there a lack of fight amongst what I would brand them as high-profile, totally well-known but sadly feeder clubs? I shall never understand.
& though Ribery's "move" to United is probably misquoting, it raises issues of the deteriorating league standards in France, Germany & many other European countries.
It's like there's no point in even calling the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 & many others a 1st Division league.
Most Singaporeans may never understand where I coming from, due to our British history & biasness to the English Premier League. But I'm sure out there in cyberspace, there are some of you who understand my concerns & reservations.
At least I do dare to say I'm a Bayern Munich fan with utmost pride. Sadly, some players might think differently.
At least that was a nice change from my usual weeping state. God bless Friday!

Monday's soccer was awesome. My team of David "BeckHam", Raj, Me, Brandon & Gabriel (OMGlah) won 4 matches straight after winning one at the start & losing 2 after that. Was my best day really. & I've learnt it's important to believe in others, especially when it really looks bleak.
By the way, the above picture is my design. Credits to Bundesliga, UEFA & other sources scattered across Google which contributed the photos.

I'm beyond horrified to see Group F. My God Bayern's gonna die in the grouplah. Lyon..my God. & I think Arsenal is going to have an easy time in their group. & Liverpool will have a hard time indeed.
& this is cool. Winter Sokaro's Madness. It's a bane to most of his enemies. Wish I had one as well.
& I'm still repentent, still insulted, still unforgiven. & here's the thing, there's nothing I can do about it...
I think I offended Gerald..sorry but you are really getting on my nerves. I know the probability of getting her is 0.(OMG SO MANY FRIGGIN ZEROES)1. Don't remind me ok. Sorry anyways.
