Big Boys do Cry...

Set my alarm clock to 3am to catch the match..but didnt even hear it go off..Was so tired these few days despite slacking in the office ( to Everest: Im not doin a bimbo job hor..just that this week pretty free only..) BUt B woke up at 4am and switched on the tv..score was 1-1..Ronaldo scored 1st..and Lampard equalised... i watched in despair as Chelsea took most possesion of the ball..Man Utd defense was brilliant and i guessed Chelsea had a down day..Drogba's and i cant rem who's shot hit the post..sending ripples of waves thru my heart. The match was so heart thumping and it had a good wrkout.

As the match goes into extra time, deja vu sets in..FA cup final (was it?) as both Chelsea and Man Utd were nearing penalty, Drogba sent in the winning goal...Hope that history wun repeat itself today..Before the final whistle was blown, 2 things happen..Joe Cole was denied a penalty despite Ferdinand's leg totally crossing his head..i tink he will be suay for 7 years loh!! The other ting was that Drogba got a red card!!I didnt see what was going on, but suddenly Tevez got into a argument with few of the blue guys..then many ppl crowd around them and 'plak'-a slap was given across Vidic face by the ivorian..no need to say further liao..red card given and out he goes..the incident nv even start frm him and he have to be there at the wrong time..haiz..another suay one..WHat was he tinking man??

Bi Bi...penalty time..i pulled B to seat upright..this is our usual penalty ritual..we will hug one another, just like how the players did on the field..this time round, we each hug 2 elephants..hee..The 1st 2 penalties went well..Ronaldo took the 3rd,somehow my heart has this sinking feeling..and true enuff, he missed the penalty..AGAIN!!somehow he always miss penalty under pressure..haiz..i felt like crying then..Later on when it was John Terry's turn to take the winning shot, i gripped my dumbo tightly. Can there be a miracle? True enuff, he slipped cos of the heavy rain and he missed the shot totally!!!A euphoria wave rose within me..there's hope!!Now every shot is crucial, every shot is heart dropping..any shot now can be the deciding factor..Nani and giggs did brilliant in their shot..Next is Anelka..hardly see him in action and was surprised he took the shot...A clever ploy by Van De Sar worked and the moment when his hands blocked the ball, i jumped up in jubilation on the bed again--CHAMPIONS...WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!
It was such a touching moment that i really felt like crying..Man utd has waited SOOOOO long for this, and after 9 years, its back to Old Trafford...Celebrated with them as i see them hoist the cup.. it was so close for Chelsea, i really have to give it to them..They have a strong team, but not as united as Man utd..Maybe if they focus on building on their teamwork, they will be unbeatable? The Chelsea that won 2 EPL in a row somehow was lost le..Aniwae, John Terry bawled his eyes out..I guess he really blamed himself for missing that crucial penalty..An influential captain, he really did a gd job in motivating his team mates to stay on.So ya, big boys do cry..If Drogba was not sent out, it might be Chelsea who will leave the cup but aniwae, next season ba..=p

To Ronaldo who might happen to read my blog..John Terry saved yr ass this time..Go prac on yr penalty!!And stop dreaming abt moving to Real!!

Cant wait for next season to start..What a season..B, pls get me the Man UtD jersey as requested..and u owe me 50 bucks cos u lose the bet.owe$pay$!!

On a different note, gona blog on an unpleasant and maddening experience i had with this photo shop at Toa Payoh central. This shop is famous cos it only costs 20cents per piece and theres no min to develop. Furthermore, we have gone there several times and the pics were ok. Went there to develop our wedding pics using a thumbdrive..Developed 400+ in total for relatives and frens. To my horror, most of the photos and the 8Rs were pixelated!! When i collected them, she just told me that resolution was bad and i wasnt feeling well to argue with them..But when i went home to check..all were rubbish! i cant even give them out! Mum was right...when she went to develop using her thumbdrive, the person advised her that the photos will be blur so he asked her to bring down the original disc instead...When she told me this, i have already sent the photos to develop and NOBODY there advised me.

When we went back to demand an explanation, they have the cheek to tell us that we did not copy the pics properly to the thumbdrive and that we did not check the machine carefully to note that its low resolution..i cant believe my ears..they are pushing the blame to....ME? So pissed..they did not do their due dilligence in warning me about the low resolution and blindly print the blurred 400+pics!!How in the hell will i know the machine will state? Nobody will notice if you dun highlight. We are not in this line, i wouldnt noe!!!She say i shd ask if i duno...Wat the hell..if i duno theres this thing,how to ask? Its like when u buy a bowl of noodles, will u ask the seller..hey, is this noodle ok to eat?has it passed its expiry date?NO!!Bloody hell..im so freaking mad! I gave her 2 solutions..either refund my $90 + or re print my photos for free..she refused. Her offer to us was to reprint with them and they will charge 18cents each.PUI..10cents i still will consider. 18cents? Can she go fly a kite? im sad to say that this is the last time that i will patronise the shop and i WILL NOT recommend my frens there..

Wat a lesson learnt! next time, b4 u develop pics, MUST ask them whether resolution is ok..my 400+ photos, i tell her, bcos of her shop sloppiness and unprofessionalism, im gona throw them into the dustbin! What poor service..Was really v upset over the whole matter. Im usually quite docile (HA!) and i dun usually confront strangers lydat, but i really felt v injustice in this..Looking at all the photos really pained my heart..and this is my wedding photos somemore!What a damper...haiz..
