"6 Minutes of Madness Game"
Three years since that glorious night and I still feel as if it happened yesterday. I'll always remember this game as the best Liverpool ever played, 'coz it simply is. I remember feeling so down and out at half-time, wid the reds being 0-3 down. I thought it was over. We'd never be able to win another Champions' League. Couldn't believe I'd have to face somethign like that after the semis against Chelsea.
Yet the 2nd half was a different game altogether. The score didn't matter and Steven Gerrard just couldn't stop himself. The excitement and joy at the first goal, the sensation at the second and ecstacy at the third was perhaps the strongest we, Liverpool fans have ever felt. And then the penalty-shootout. the heart-stopping moments, the sweaty palms, the loud heartbeats....I remember just sitting still, not moving an inch, continuously repeating a prayer , hoping that Dudek would save the last penalty. and when it did happen, I went completely mad. there's no other word to describe the sudden outbreak of feelins and emotions inside me. To watch the guys run faster than they had throughout the match, in delight; to watch the Kop on their feet jumping as much as they could; to hear that "You'll Never Walk Alone" echoing throughout the stadium. It was sheer madness risen out of joy, relief and the simple feeling of victory. I never cry when I'm happy, but that day I shed tears of joy, because there was simply nothing else which could describe my feeling better.
As I write this, a smile plays on my face and I guess its tribute enough to all those players who travelled to Istanbul in May 2005; who played their part in giving us a game to remember.

"An Inconvenient Truth"
- The title of the movie by Al Gore.

I just watched the movie, and once more the urge to save the environment around me, rose inside me. I wish we, humans weren't so selfish that we could reduce the earth to this level. I was watching the sky today, as is one of my rituals of all days. It looked so blue and bright and just so pure. No white puffs of cotton bolls lining it, none of those dark clouds to spoil its rawness, it felt like paradise to watch it; as if I were in a completely different world; a world just like the one I always dream of. Guess I couldn't have a better start to day of my final examination. As I write this, I feel the peace and quiet that I've wanted since the time I started out after school life. It is beautiful.

"You'll never walk alone."

The song is so true to me and every time I hear the song, there's something in it that pulls out all the hope it can from within inside of me. Just heard Jordin Sparks singing it on American Idol's advertisement, and I felt that same rush of confidence inside me once more. I just love the song......

"While this door is closing, another door is opening. It's our job to go find that door."
- from Readers' Digest, quoted by Matthew Perry ( The New Zealand Herald)

This one's just perfect for me. As I sit, waiting for all my results to come and the exams, still left, to get over, there's something which seems to close several doors for me. I feel there are doors opening but I can't see them clearly. I know they are there, open, ready to let me. I hope I can find that one door. It is the one that will lead me to the dream career I have always wanted. I hope I can see the clear picture as soon as possible...
