You'll Never Suffer Alone

English Premier League is BACK !

Yes, the dust of Spain's glorious Euro victory has settled down and it's time to cheer our respective beloved English clubs for the upcoming EPL season! Who will win the title come next May? Who are the top contenders to suffer relegation? How will the newly promoted teams fare? Which player will make the biggest headline during the season? Now is the time for you to make your guesses before the first match kick off at the Emirates this evening.

The defending champion Man U has not make any signings this season but their squad is still as strong as ever, that is, provided Ronaldo stays. But with the willy old fox at their helm, you won't bet against them retaining the title. As much as I hate to see the Red Devils retain the throne, I must say Sir Alex has made Man United such a tough nut to crack.

This season will be a massive one for them because they can match my beloved Liverpool's 18th league titles if they do retain the crown. For Liverpool, I believe Reds fans around the world will be praying hard that even their own team do not get the title, someone else will halt the Red Devils' march. My team has made a lot of signings but their reputations will count for nothing if they do not live up to expectations and deliver. The American owners internal scuffle may once again derail my team chances of delivering the 1st Premier League title. Finger crossed. Benitez has managed to get Sammy Lee as his right hand man which I hope will enhance the team's performance on the pitch.

Chelsea looks as strong as ever, and after last season's double heartache at the hands of Man United, their players will be much more determined to produce the goods on the pitch. Deco is a excellent signing for the Blues and if he can handle the robustness of the English game, he should be do fine. But their biggest signing has got to be installing Scolari as their head coach. The fact that he has managed to make Lampard stay on with Chelsea in favour of joining Mourinho's Inter speaks volume of the charisma that Big Phil possessed.

Arsene Wenger, aka MR AW, is certainly one of my favourite coach. His team style of play and his ability to unearth raw young talents are why Arsenal are doing so well. Of course, the rest of the Arsenal backroom team deserved those praises. One to look out for this season is the Mexican Vela. He is intelligent, skilful and can score spectacular goals. Well I should not say too much about Arsenal for now because i think my Brother should be the better person to tell you why Arsenal will do well! Haha... I hope they do well, really from the bottom of my heart...(please look at my prediction below)

Olympic Spirit
Did you watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games? Well I did and I was impressed by it! One of the most memorable scene must be when last torch bearer Li Ning brought the flame up into the air and towards the cauldron. It is totally out of the blue and the location of the cauldron came as a surprise to all.

I remembered watching Athens Olympic 4 years ago where a archer fired his arrow to ignite the cauldron. I thought that was really imaginative but this year, China made it even better. Kudos to the Chinese for coming up with this bold idea.
To represent your country must be the greatest wish for a sportsman. I guess to even become backroom staffs of the sportspersons, someone working in the media, or anyone working for the Olympic will be a once in a lifetime experience. The whole of Beijing must be buzzing with life. This makes me think of the Youth Olympic which will be held in Singapore in 2010. If time permits, I certainly don't mind helping out in it.
So far, I have watched some football, diving, swimming and basketball events. I must say it is quite exciting for anyone who love sports to be able to see so many different kinds of sports being played out in Beijing. Swimming has always been very exciting. Today I just saw how the France 4X100m relay team lose out to USA by a mere 0.08secs!! This is just so close to call when deciding the champion and 2nd place. I think the most boring event to me is boxing. I don't understand how they decide who is the winner and I can figure out how the boxers look like because of the head gear that they are wearing. So what is your favourite event(s) in the Olympic?

想告诉你

你在那里觉得冷吗?你一个人在那里觉得孤独吗?你是真的选择了离开所有爱你的人吗?还是……你是被陷害的?这些问号从你离开的那一天起,一直浮现在我的脑海里,让我日夜思索。没有任何人能告诉我们真实,只有你能。你离开的那一天,有如惊天动地般地让我摸不着头脑,甚至让我感叹生命的无常。

那天清早,一通电话让我从恐怖的恶梦中惊醒。后来我才发现,原来,醒来后的那一刻才是我的恶梦的真正的开始。你整个晚上都没回到家。是在朋友家过夜吧?是在办公室里睡着了吗?应该就是这样吧,我想…… 没什么好担心的嘛。但在开车往公司的那段路,我的思绪却变得越来越凌乱。到了公司的停车场,我开始不停地拨打手机,寻找着你的下落。各家医院和各个德士公司的号码到现在仍然记录在我手机的通讯录里。我寻寻觅觅,但却渐渐感觉到你在无息无声中消失。我开始胡思乱想。不久,你母亲打了通电话给我。我为了安慰她,只好将脑子里胡乱的思绪强忍地压抑着。以你的性格,你应该不会做出什么傻事吧?我想……我到现在还在想……                                    

我盼望你踏上红地毯的那一天,但那一天已变得好遥远。我期待能够在你大喜之日那天,披上那套最耀眼的西装。西装,我是已经披上了,但却是在陪你走完人生的最后一段路上。你出事当天,我因为需要出席一个重要会议,所以无法离开工作岗位,加入我们几位好友的搜寻行动。我,只好默默地祷告。我祷告着你的安全、你的平安、你的出现、你的回来…… 眼皮一直在跳动。在那一瞬间,脑海里不断地涌现出一丝丝不详的预兆。祷告与现实的距离仿佛拉得越来越远。在等待着你的下落的那几个小时里,是我从来没有感觉到的失魂落魄。开会时,我完全无法集中精神,心一直在守候着手机所可能传来的你的消息。心,是害怕的……心……是焦急的。

我的恶梦终于在寒冷的两点二十四分结束了。你被找到了,但也离开了。我的心破碎了,梦也被摧毁了。祷告无法换来我所渴求的奇迹。强忍着的眼泪,不停地在我内心里流着。我还在做梦吧,不是吗?搜寻员找到的不可能是你吧?怎么可能呢?我们才在几天前谈话,还交代了你去准备一份好友的生日礼物。我那颤抖的双手,一再把手机从口袋里拿了出来,再次翻阅着那无情的简讯,我真的不敢相信这搜寻会换来如此悲泣的结局。事实太残酷了,你走得太突然了,我拒绝接受这样的真实。

痛苦、痛悲、痛心、痛恨、痛……失去你。痛苦的回忆,如今再次回忆,已经没有了意义,唯有在我的生命中刻下了最难忘的回忆。情难舍,人难留,今朝你我各分西东。希望与你说再见并不会太遥远,只盼有缘能够与你重逢在明天那灿烂的季节。
