October 30 Liverpool: We Stick Together At Anfield Its been a while since I last wrote or blog about Liverpool or football for that matter.
Looking back, I wrote a lot during the Gerrard Houllier era, successful yet depressing times.
Well, how Rafa has turned it around since then.
One champions league.
Another Champions League Final appearance.
Supercup. Charity Shield. FA cup.
Our closest 2nd place finishing to No.1.
With results come expectations and hope.
Looking back, in reality, our playing staff should never have won any of those above mentioned honours, nor should we ever stay close to No.1 last season.
Every season, pundits, critics and so called experts, have something to say against our team.
Players not good enough, not fast enough, not good enough, naive in Zonal Marking, we don't start the season well enough, we don't end the season on a strong, we can't beat the TOP 4 teams, we keep losing and drawing against so called smaller teams etc etc.
The players that they bashed not good enough e.g. Benayoun, Alonso are suddenly the missing link.
Please research the FACTS before making comments based on common perceptions.
I am a RAFA supporter. For what its worth, at least he got RESULTS and he stuck by his principles.
I am not saying he doesn't make mistakes. Decisions are made and he stuck by them.
Keane wasn't a bad player, nor is Babel or Dossena. They just don't fit into Rafa's system of playing.
Its just like one putting Mokoena or whoever into the Arsenal team. Wenger has his own vision of how football should be played.
Come to think of it, what happened to those who wanted Arsene Wenger out last season?
Just because we have lost a few games in a row, you start calling for heads and asking for bloods.
The same players we have last season that was so close being champions are now championship material.
We at Anfield don't do that,. It doesn't mean I am blind, I am hurt and as longing for a championship as you all.
But in the world of information overload, we need to balance the idealism and pragmatism.
As our own King says, "We at Anfield stick together".
Paul Tomkins has a great article "My day with Rafa" http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/NG166170091023-1038.htm which I recommend Liverpool fans to read it.

October 27 One Hour to Live; One Hour to LoveIf you have an hour to live and could make just one phone call;
"One hour to live; One hour to love" is short, direct, simple and shook to the core book
by the late Richard Carlson & wife Kristine Carlson.
Well worth the read.
October 23 為什麼人生氣時說話用喊的?教授問他的學生以下的問題:
"為什麼人生氣時說話用喊的?"
其中有一個學生說:
"因為我們喪失了冷靜, 所以我們會用喊的"
教授又問:
"但是為什麼別人就在你旁邊而已, 你還是用喊的,
難道不能小聲的說嗎? 為什麼總是要用喊的?"
學生七嘴八舌的說了一堆, 但是沒有一個答案是讓教授滿意的.
教授解釋:
"當兩個人在生氣的時候,
心的距離是很遠的;
而為了掩蓋當中的距離使對方能夠聽見,
於是必須用喊的;
但是在喊的同時人會更生氣,
更生氣距離就更遠,
距離更遠就又要喊更大聲......"
"而當兩個人相戀時會怎麼樣呢?
情況剛好相反; 不但不會用喊的,
而且說話都很輕聲細語,
為什麼?"
"因為他們的心很接近,
心與心之間幾乎沒有距離,
所以相戀中的兩個人通常是耳語式的說話,
但是心中的愛因而更深,
到後來根本不需要言語,
只用眼神就可以傳情,
而那時心與心之間早已經沒有所謂的距離了..."
最後教授作了一個結論:
"當兩個人爭吵時;
不要讓心的距離變遠,
更不要說些讓心距離更遠的話;
自然的過了幾天,
等心的距離已經比較沒有那麼遠時,
再好好的說吧"
October 21 Whiteout And you wonder why it took so long to release this movie.
My first thought after the movie, is this worse than "Forbidden Kingdom"?
I would say NO because Forbidden Kingdom was not only bad to watch, but it hit me in my value and cultural aspect.
So, I would say Whiteout is on par with Street Fighter: Chun Li.
If it weren't for Kate Beckinsale or in the latter case Kristin Kreuk, this movie would totally bombed on me.
My focus throughout the movie was solely on Kate Beckinsale and NOTHING else.
So forget about the
I will give this a 1 dun even bother.
See your last breath? Its right. I was busy counting my own breath.
Rating Scale:
Above 10: Cinema at least twice and collect All editions of its DVD!
8 - 10: Cinema worthy & Collector Edition Original DVD!
5 - 7: Buy DVD
3 - 4: Just Download it
0 - 2: Don't even Bother
Below 0: Absolute MUST watch because its worse than Forbidden Kingdom October 13 What is your DEEPEST FEAR?I remembered this very distinctively in the movie Coach Carter.
Samuel L Jackson kept hammering this question to this troubled player of his.
Until one day the realisation came and the student answered his teacher.
Quote by Marianne Williamson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Make a change. Start with the Man in the Mirror.
Okay its time to play my all time favourite MJ song if only i know who stole my CD
October 03 月下獨酌月下獨酌 唐‧李白
花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。 I have got wine, but I am alone. Hence, I invited the moon, myself and my shadow and three of us drink together.
The Moon does not participate in drinking, and shadow wil only move to my dance, I console myself, be happy now before the spring suddenly passes you by.
The Moon hung around for my singing, and shadow dance together with my steps. Party together when awake, however everyone left after we finished drinking.
I wish to travel with Moon and Shadow forever, even though they may seem cold, and promise to meet at the end of the universe and heaven.
八月十五 但願人長久中秋節快樂
苏轼 但愿人长久
明月几时有？把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。 我欲乘风归去，唯恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。 起舞弄清影，何似在人间。 转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。 不应有恨，何事长向别时圆？ 人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。 但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。 When does the moon began? I raised my glass and ask the sky.
May I ask the angels living in thousand years old heaven, which year of 中秋 are they now in.
I want to ride the wind to heaven, but apprehensive of its cold in high altitude.
Its best I stay here, indulge and dance in the moonlight and shadows.
Moonlights turn to mansion, shining through the window, reflecting on sleepless people.
Does the moon hates the mankind? Why is it only during sadness and loneliness it shines brighter and appeared rounder?
Life has people come together and leaving, wish to stay forever together from ancient has always been difficult to achieve.
Even though we may be far apart, as long as we are safe and healthy, we can still enjoy the moon together.
