Tragedy...

5 Singaporeans drowned in Cambodia after some dragonboat race. I'm sure alot of people must have been affected by this.

Watched the evening news, interviewing those NOKs, seeing the pain and sorrow in their eyes. Somehow couldn't bear to watch the part where the mother was crying and screaming at the same time. Downright painful, i could feel it.

Young strong healthy teens, about to reach the peak of their youths. Gone just like that, what if they chose to walk back instead of rowing back? Haiz unfortunately there's no what ifs in this world. Life is so fragile.

A sad day for Singapore, a sad day for the families and people involve. May paladine guide you through these dark times.

Return this man to Huma's breast
Beyond the wild, impartial skies;
Grant to him a warrior's rest
And set the last spark of his eyes
Free from the smothering clouds of wars
Upon the torches of the stars.
Let the last surge of his breath
Take refuge in the cradling air
Above the dreams of ravens where
Only the hawk remembers death.
Then let his shade to Huma rise
Beyond the wild, impartial skies.

ARGHHHHH...

I can't believed this, but this is the first time i got so depressed watching liverpool play, and i mean it, ever since the days of roy evans and gerard houllier.

A first look at the line up, and i went, errrr ok, he's doing something weird, like playing 451 which we haven't been doing for a damn long time. Nvm its ok then, since gerrard is on fire i can see that the gaffa is trying to push him upfield to unlock the defence. Fair enough let's see how it turns out.

20 mins later, the fans, the neutrals, the commentators are falling asleep. They even went to the point of discussing other soccer stuff than concentrating on the game itself. From here on its damn obvious the formation isn't working, it looks more like a 4-6-0. What does he do?

Wait

Wait.

Wait.....

60 mins gone, then he made the first change, and a good one i must admit, kewell for the somewhat ineffective babel. Then waited ANOTHER 10 mins, on comes crouch.

Immediately, blackburn was pushed back into their own field, yes that was probably the first time they felt under pressure. After some shooting and passing and nice moves, which resulted in no goal, the game ended.

So questions? Why wasn't the subs brought on earlier on! Why did we start with such a defensive line up? Even though they are blackburn and they are on a roll, we are LIVERPOOL and definitely had the quality in the squad to challenge them.

The only positive i could see from the game, was kewell returning to action. DAMN THIS IS SO FREAKING FRUSTRATING!!!!
