AM matches that kept me awake

Liverpool vs Portsmouth: 1-0
Anfield, Liverpool

LFC won with 1-0 against Portsmouth last night and bagged another 3 points for the team. the goal was a PK made by Gerrard in the 74' min. from the attempted shots made by the players, it could have gotten LFC greater goals if luck was on their side but sadly, most shots are either blocked or caught by the keeper. during the first half, Kuyt's and Arbeloa's shots are both possible goals for the team but unfortunately, James blocked Kuyt's ball with both hands and as for Arbeloa's, it was a few inches away from the goal post. for the second half, they started high-spirited like usual but as time passed on, they began weakening as the ball was mostly obtained or possessed by the opposing team. if they weren't too tired, they might have played a better game than what they performed last night. nevertheless, the one goal is enough to keep LFC still on top of the league.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: 4-4
Emirates Stadium, North London


it was an amazing match and the outcome was absolutely unexpected! Tottenham is blessed with a new manager, Harry Redknapp (ex-Pompey manager) as he changed the team dramatically from losers to a winning, strong team. Tottenham already got talented players and clearly it was the one that managed the team before was the problem so there's no surprise that they're suddenly appear as a confident and risky team with Redknapp. in the first half, the score was 1-1 with Tottenham leading by Bentley's goal from a long range at 13' min and equalized later by Arsenal's Silvestre during the team's corner kick at 37' min. During the second half, Arsenal scored their second goal with Gallas heading a ball from their corner kick at 46' min. Adebayor also scored at 64' min where he was running towards the passed ball by Nasri in mid-air and quickly kicked it into the net before the defender had any chance in kicking it out. Now the score became 3-1 but that changed at 67' as Tottenham's Huddlestone shot a low drive but blocked by Almunia and Bent who was nearby, took a chance and shots for the net. He scored making it 3-2, but a minute after that Arsenal bagged another goal with Van Persie leaving them with 4-2. everyone was confident that Arsenal would be the match's winner but at 89' min, Jenas unexpectedly goaled as he shots for the net. High-spirited & confident, Tottenham tried their luck for an equalizer and within the additional minute, 90+(5) Lennon made the last goal which immediately ends the game with 4-4.

chelsea-liverpool 0-1

Chelsea- Liverpool: 0-1
Stamford Bridge


Liverpool on top with 23 pts (table taken from the official site)

last night Liverpool have proven themselves credentials to the title as the beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with 1-nil after! Liverpool is now on top with 23 pts and the only team that hasn't been beaten so far. it's an incredible season for them so far especially with this record. finally they're the one who beats Chelsea's record of 86 unbeaten matches. the last time Chelsea was beaten at home was back in January 2004. both team played their best and it was a thrilling and fantastic game. the first and winning goal for Liverpool was in the first half at 10' and it was a deflection made by Alonso. The stadium was filled with Liverpool chants after that leaving Chelsea fans slumping down their seats. After that, Chelsea didn't fool around as they began to strike forward and attempted many tries in hoping for an equalizer. Liverpool maintained their leading goal by defending and blocking Chelsea's ball as the second half commenced. I'm just stating little bits of the match since i'm out of words on how to describe the amazing match so here's the breakdown of the match full time.

Locked Within

"Locked Within"

I'm soaking wet in tears,
And I really know the reason why,
It's happening, my very fear,
That we're coming to an end,
Gasping for oxygen,
I'm trying to take this realization in,
I understand everything but not this,
Don't you know I'm hurt within?
I care less for the time needed,
For me to wait for you,
Just as long as I know you're there for me,
Regardless of things you're up to,
You're the only person alive,
To be cared and loved completely,
To be placed in a special spot,
Especially the fact you're not a crush to me,
Open space for me to breathe,
Acceptance that allows me to be myself,
Only you're able to give me such freedom,
But then again it's you who I can't help,
From deciding to stop and forgetting to stay,
If only you state the problem clearly,
We might figure or sort out a way,
You know exactly how important you are to me,
I guess I was too late to realize,
That you were driving out of my world,
I can't believe that it's actually happening,
That I'm left and back as that locked within girl.

Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven 3-1 win (:

Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven: 3-1
Anfield, Liverpool

Liverpool won the match against PSV Eindhoven with a great play. the first goal was made by Kuyt at 4' and it was his first goal so far since his last against Standard Liege at 117'. the second goal was miraculously made my Keane at 35' as it became his first goal since joining Liverpool. the ball was brought forward by Torres as he's in the right hand side and he gave a low crossing or passing to Keane, who's in the box, then he quickly kicked the ball into the net. both goals were made in the first half leaving PSV with nil. as the second half starts, PSV began to pick up their pace as they took more ball possession than Liverpool in the first half. However the reds were awarded with a free kick at 76' and Gerrard took that kick. as expected from Gerrard, he gave an amazing drive that the keeper was unable to catch his ball. this became Liverpool's third goal and Gerrard's 100th goal. it was a relieve to see the score 3-0 but not later after that, PSV scored a consolation goal made by Danny Koevermans. so it was 3-1 and that score remains the same until the game ended.

the end of a great month ;___;

today is the last day of Ramadhan (i'm gonna miss this great month) and tomorrow is Raya! yeah for the money (haha gila ampau banar) and boo for the many houses we have to visit ;___; well at least it gives a chance for us Lumut people to reunite with our city cousins, it's been long since i've met them last. anyway, during this wonderful month my siblings, our mother and me have been baking biscuits and such for Raya. it's been fun really and my favorite was making kuih mor (mum makes it the best in the world :D) and ipok-ipok (my brother make it funny at first where the ipok-ipok is lebar but then he improved and made it cute) Insyallah, i'll post some pictures captured by my brother during our ipok-ipok making session. i'm sad that Ramadhan is finally over ;___; so many memorable things happened in this month.

anyway, we'll be back to school in a matter of days now and i'm scared. as soon as i enter school back, i'll have exactly one week before the huge exam. an exam that'll determine what future we're gonna have and what live will we lead to. i'm anticipating for this exam but i still feel i'm unprepared for it. i could feel my eyes about to burst out with tears when i think about it. i seriously target for 8 O's and i hope to get a scholarship so i could study abroad and do my A levels there. but then if the scholarship promises me to be a teacher or somewhere in the education department, i'll definitely reject it and continue 6th form in SMSA. this are my two options and i'm not sure which one to pick: study abroad or continue sixth form. i want to be like my dad's friend and somewhere deep inside me, i look up to him as a role model even though i've only met him once. well that's pretty much for this post :)
