The Jealousy Of Victory

I'm beginning to feel like last night's match has made me a bigger Manchester United fan than ever before.

Maybe it was the jealousy of not being able to celebrate an amazing victory.

Maybe it was the amazing standards Barcelona played that left me amazed that another team was capable of tearing us apart so comprehensively.

Maybe it was the romantics of all things Barcelona, the autocratic state of Catalunya et al.

Maybe it was the fact that there really was nothing and no one to blame for this loss. No variable permutation of our players or formation would have changed much of anything.

I'm proud as ever of what we have achieved this season. Still beyond my wildest dreams early in the season.

Six games in at the start of the season, if anyone had mentioned we'd make it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, finals of the Champions League, and most significantly, league title number 19 in the bag, I might have refused to believe them one bit.

Sometimes, all we need is a little more belief.

Passed To Death

Admittedly, we lost to the better team. In fact, we lost to the best team.

I've had some sleep and still I feel like crap.

It's amazing how helpless it feels playing an opponent that can pass you into submission, regardless of how good you were.

We were all clapping for each successful tackle more than anything because chances were few and the statistics make a mockery out of our efforts to disrupt their play.

Probably we gave a better account for ourselves compared to 09. Rooney did score that wonder goal afterall, which gave us hope. Though that was not to be.

It is the start of a boring 2 months.

Just hoping that there will be some interesting transfers to look forward to.

Still proud to be a Man U fan through and through.

GGMU!!!

Tonight

Let's be honest with ourselves here for abit.

I know we're not favourites to win, but all I want is to see us try our best.

We have a chance and hopefully the team does us proud.

Believe.

GGMU!!!

Change

They say the only constant in life is change.

And with change we just need to adapt.

It is with optimism and positivity, things will eventually turn out for the better.

Much better.

End Of Season

The BPL season has finally ended.

Man U are the champions for the 19th time.

Birmingham, Blackpool and West Ham have been relegated.

Chelsea and Man City get automatic qualification into the Champions league.

Arsenal has to play the qualification rounds to enter the UCL.

Tottenham gets the 5th placing Europa League slot, while Stoke City and Birmingham enter with their finalist and winners position of the FA Cup and League Cup respectively.

Fulham might get a slot due to it's FIFA Fair Play status.

Liverpool miss out on Europe for the first time in 11 years.

QPR and Norwich are promoted while Reading and Swansea play off for the last promotion berth.

Swearing In The New Cabinet

Let's give the new cabinet a chance!

PM Lee sounds quite sincere on TV for once!

Else we always have the option to change the cabinet again in 5 years :)

Judgement Day II

Ok apparently Rapture will begin at 6pm local time, where all deserving good devout Christians will go to heaven, aka die in some natural disaster, while everyone else will hang around until October 21st before the world REALLY ends for good.

Hmm.

Wonder what's gonna happen to all the non-Christians?

Earthquakes, people, earthquakes!

Judgement Day

Tomorrow, 21st May 2011.

Supposedly Judgement Day. End of the world.

Hopefully life goes on.

I want to make tons of money with my options! :)

I thought the next end of the world was on 21st December 2012?

How come no one's made a film about tomorrow at all?

EURUSD 1.64 Call Option

Expiring on the 21st Of September this year.

Cost me only $75.

This could be my big ticket to riches!

MAS: Inflation Set To Ease For Rest Of 2011

I think that means we might have seen a low for USDSGD at 1.22.

Still a good catch at 1.24 right now.

Perhaps it is time to move some funds into US equities?

Wells Fargo anyone?
