come on arsenal!

hey everyone,

let me begin this post by commenting a bit on Mourinho's comments ahead of the north london derby tomm night.

Asked if he would like to emulate the eye-catching football of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' of three seasons ago, when the Gunners went through an entire Premiership campaign unbeaten, Mourinho replied: 'Pretty when they were champions without defeat, yes. Not pretty when they finish fourth, not pretty when they had to win their last game to qualify for the Champions League.'

Aksyen seh ni mourinho.

Anyway...although i am a bit offended with his sarcastic remarks, I have to admit that somehow he has a point. Just hope it will 'spur' the gunners on, like last weekend's derby.

On a serious note, my mom has left for Hajj to do her pilgrimmage on Thurs morning. I was overjoyed and relieved when she called home yesterday afternoon at 1319hrs to update us that everything is well with her. May all of us 'doa' for her good health when she's there. Insya Allah.

p.s: With regards to my last few post on my agenda for the week.
Tuesday: Blank to be filled
The answer is: Registering for the Big Day with love and her dad! All went well. Alhamdulilah!

p.s.s: 140 more days... Tick tock tick tock....

16430

16430, my half marathon tag number.

Alhamdulilah I manage to complete it in 2hrs 20 mins 23secs. Self clocked time. Guess I have to wait for the official results and see if it tally.

Back track a little, the gunners won the North Lodon derby by 3 nil yesterday. Not a comprehensive victory but I hope it will boost the morale for the cruncher against Porto to ensure qualification to the next round of the Champs Leauge.

Did sleep for a good 5 hours before waking up at 4am, bought bananas when topping up the petrol before picking up Irfan at 5am. Prayed Subuh at Sultan mosque before 'kelam kabut-ing' to Shaw Building to park and then jogged to the starting point, Esplanade Drive.

Even manage to wave at love who was at the opposite road, Suntec. Still on duty. Hehe.

There were lots and lots of people when we got there. Clear off excess waste water before doing last minute stretching. Soon we were off. It was a marvellous run as a whole, good running company, ample drinking points, the power gel works wonder and thankfully nice weather to round it all up.

Counting down to 2007 marathon.

p.s: Thanks to Irfan for being equally crappy and high spirits throughout the run. Sorry that I had to 'ditch' you in the last 5 km of the run. Looking forward to celebrating 20 years of friendship with a successful completing of 2007 marathon. Insya Allah.

p.s.s: Thanks to love for logistics arrangement; running attire and tranport. Your encouragement sms-es spurred me on. Join me soon? *Inviting smiles*
