GERMANY'S THROUGH TO EURO 2008! Yay! :D Sad I couldn't watch the match though, apparently Lehmann did well? Starhub REALLY rocks. \m/ They drew with Ireland 0-0. Ah well.


Thierry Henry knows Barca will face Arsenal
Aw, Thierry. ♥ Because Arseblog put it the best: "now that the initial shock of losing a top player has worn off, you remember why it is we loved him so much. He’s an intelligent guy, he loved playing for us, he gave us so many wonderful moments and that’s what should be remembered above and beyond anything else." If we do end up facing Barcelona, I hope it'll be in the final [[since I don't see how my heart would be able to take us facing Thierry twice]]. And we better win that match.



Robin: You can never underestimate an opponent in the Premier league.

Interviewer: It was a great free kick that got the goal started. Tell me a little bit about it.
Robin: Uh, well yeah, it was quite funny because normally Cesc should take it, because the last one from the left side, um, um, I think, let me think, last Wednesday, I took that one, so I told him then, "The next one is yours", but the feeling was there, and I asked him, "Can I do it?" and he said, 'Okay it's yours" and it went in quite well.

Robin says "Cesh" and "prae-tay". Wheeee. And my god, quite well. But I suppose everything compared to his goal against Charlton is pale in comparison.

Interviewer: And you kept the team fairly similar, just one change, from the one that played in the Champions League. Are you not a fan of the rotation that other managers feel that they need to use?
Arsene: Well um, I like, uh, you know a team is on a run and so I keep it stable and I change the players when I feel they are tired and there's no really a recipe [[it sounds like receipt to me but that doesn't make any sense, so I can only assume that it's recipe]] to win football games but everybody works with his own personality and everything can work, but at the moment, I just feel at the moment keep it stable.

Arsene: Well it is important because it is better than chasing someone that is ten points in front of you. [[about the importance of being at the top of the table]]

Haha I know good transcribers don't add in the uhs but I thought it would be more authentic to do it with the uhs. :) I don't I've ever heard a lady do the post-match interviews. Maybe I just don't watch enough of them. Her voice is weird and raspy, by the way. Raspy voices can be nice... just not on girls.

I got my jeans on Sunday! Yes, the ones that I was looking at with my sister at Levi's last Monday. They fit so well, almost like a second skin! Usually when I get jeans they're either too loose around the hip areas or the thigh areas. But this pair's just right! Maybe a bit tight, but I expect them to loosen up a bit. I'm happy. :)

I also got a few plain shirts from Cotton On, which are thin enough for layering. Yay. :D My sister also bought me Tool's Undertow as a birthday present, and Sarah got me John Legend's Once Again! I think I'm going to love my birthday presents this year. :) So what if I'm not going to have the element of surprise with them? I'd take presents that I'm going to love for the next month over presents I'm not going to even touch once.

Oh yeah, Uncle Desmond, Auntie Cheryl, Darryl, Denzel and Duane are coming over on Saturday to celebrate both mine and Duane's birthdays! This is sounding like a good birthday week -- presents, cakes and no studying! The only element missing from it's perfection is the results. Gah. I'm already anxious thinking about getting them back. ):

Never mind, I shall distract myself from thinking about the results by reading the two new books I bought from Page One today. Now I have like 3 new books to read. Awesome. :D I've missed reading books. It's not that I can't read during the exams, per se, it's just that I'm usually so drained at the end of the day with all the studying that the last damn thing I feel like doing is picking up yet another book to read.


I love going to Zara. I've been to two different Zara in two days now! Whee.





























I see that my posts are taking on a format now: Arsenal, RL, Lars pictures. How fun.
