Lazy !

Missed the Champions League match between Lille & Manchester United. Overslept (too tired) and was pretty angry with myself. Made it a point to catch the following morning's match between Barcelona & Liverpool. Great game (pity the result haha !). Barcelona at one point looked like they were going to have Liverpool for supper but all credit to Liverpool for capitalising on the defensive errors from Barcelona and getting a famous victory.

Back to the Lille-Manchester United match. Watched the replay and could not understand why Lille made just a big fuss out of Giggs' quick free-kick. It seems that in Europe, teams normally wait for the whistle but English clubs (it is also allowed in the rules of the game) are accustomed to the fact that you can choose not to ask for the ten yards and take a free kick quickly if you so wish and that was simply what Giggs did. Great goal ! While the attempted walkout by Lille was nothing like Thailand's walkout at the National Stadium at the recent Asean Football Championship, it was nevertheless shocking and disappointing to see such behaviour again within a short period of time.

My last run was last Tuesday (20 Feb) when I ran my usual 3km loop. After that, I had missed at least 2 runs, one originally scheduled for last Friday and the run either this Tuesday/Wednesday. Hope that I will be able to get going and go for a run tomorrow morning before the football match this Sunday.

Having my annual CNY gathering with my poly friends at Jason's place tomorrow night. Unlike previous years, we have met a couple of times this year, the last time being Jason's wedding 2 months ago. Nevertheless, it always feel good to catch up with old friends.
