EL CLASICO RESULT: BARCELONA 0-1 REAL MADRID

to be honest and unbiased, Real wasn't the better team in terms of attacking. Barca attacked about twice as much as Real, with 16 shots on goal compared to Real's 9. BUT thanks to our superb defence and ABSOLUTELY MOST WONDERFUL GOALKEEPER AND THAT IS CASILLAS (my hero, inspiration, idol, etc), we managed to cling on to Baptista's first half goal and gain 3 valuable points, extending the gap between us and our closest rivals to 7 points :D

i was drifting in and out of sleep during the second half cos i was so tired and then i would wake up everytime i hear the commentator raise his voice in excitement, only to see Barca nearly scoring which gave me like 10,000 heart attacks. but of course, our defense would be there to thwart Barca's efforts.

Why I Love Iker Casillas
1. he made a total of 16 saves to keep a clean sheet against Barca, 6 of which were very good ones.
2. his bravery! there was once where he came right out, almost at the edge of the penalty box and dived at the feet of Eto'o, then the ball went to Iniesta and Casillas recovered extremely quickly and pushed the ball away for a corner. phew.
3. lightning quick reflexes! he saved from Ronaldinho and was down on the ground when the rebound fell to Deco which was saved miraculously with his legs. double phew.
4. he's fierce. watch the way he commanded the defense and how he howled his lungs out from the goalpost. a natural born leader. no wonder he is Real's third captain and Spain's vice-captain.
5. in his exact words, he said that: GUTI IS IMPORTANT FOR US. :D

outing with my slc friends was quite fun! erm a few of us met at 1 at the airport first then went over to macs to eat and talk. turns out 1807 were having an outing there too so we kinda combined. anyway, the early birds were tenghan, cuishan, jiayi, siewyuen, junmin, yulan, shihe and me. eh i realised that all their names are chinese except for mine haha. talk crap for damn long cos had to wait for vincent who could only come at 430. crap involved trying to get each other to tell our "life stories", niaoing jiayi and tenghan, trying extreme ways to get cuishan to talk cos he's super quiet haha.

finally at close to 5 shihe and siewyuen had to go so we sent them off at the mrt and picked vincent up. then had a hard time persuading tenghan and cuishan to stay till 6 but we suceeded anyway so headed back to macs to play taboo which vincent brought. when they left, me, jiayi, junmin and vincent went to eat dinner at breeks and just as we finished, some 18 guys, donglin, yuang and randy came over so we all went to the viewing gallery to play one game of murderer then taboo.

and it was damn funny la i think we made so much noise laughing and shouting la. dong and yuang would use soccer to describe like every single word. then towards the end vincent and i were on a winning streak thanks to the words WILLOW and CAPITAL and FORTUNE and a lot more but i cant remember haha. cos before that when we played at macs already used those words so we were like describing it in the exact same way and laughing so hard while the others were like huh?

when we finally left it was about 9 then we walk past fish &co and saw that they were screening man u vs everton! so five idiots were standing outside trying to watch through the glass while the diners were bewildered by us LOL.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
