Epic Battle: 2-1

Woke up quite early today.. thanks to the stomach upset i had. the feeling is just terrible. Anyways, woke up just in time to catch the london marathon on tv. It was Martin Lel who won it again.. i think it was his 3rd consecutive win.. couldnt believe the amount of strength he had left in the final 385 yards to the finish line.. he sprinted those last yards, setting a new world record of 2 hours 5 mins plus.. the determination he had~

The day was filled more with sports. it was the epic battle between man utd n arsenal in old trafford. Went down to ethos gym to watch it with nigel n yheu-shen. There were quite a number of people there as well. One of the most exciting matches i have seen in london so far.. considering that i dont have the opportunity to watch these live matches as they arent broadcast in my hall.

the 1st half was a close battle n was a terrific half filled with wonderful opportunities. adebayor could have scored the opener but Van der Sar gt the ball safely in his hands. Arsenal see chances go to waste time after time.. it was soon the 2nd half n the contest seems pretty even with both sides having a go at the other..
It was arsenal to draw first blood n adebayor was there to slip it past Van der Sar.

To make matters worse, it seems like a repeat of the arsenal liverpool match. A penalty was given against arsenal soon after adebayor scored n it was ronaldo to take it.. he converted twice, with the first penalty disallowed because park encroached into the box. Everyone in ethos gym was like cheering including yheu-shen who stood up in excitement!

2nd penalty by ronaldo.. lehmann just couldnt reach it

the score was levelled at 1-1 until the 71th minute. It was a free-kick to man utd outside the arsenal box, with hargreaves n ronaldo to take it. Everyone was anticipating ronaldo would take but instead hargreaves turned n shot.. dipped over the wall n curled away from lehmann. What a fabulous goal! Everyone was cheering like mad by this time.. the fun is yet to come with the trickery from ronaldo. during the dying minutes of the 2nd half, ronaldo came up with his dancing skills, cross-overs n all sorts of amazing footwork! The match ended 2-1 with man utd winning. the chances arsenal will come back for the title race suddenly diminishes.

Went gymming n swimming after the match since i was already in ethos. Met brandon there n had a talk. its been a long time i talked to him.. anyways, this was what i had for dinner, hopefully a better one than i had...
