Go Liverpool!!!!

I never thought I'd live to see the day I feel like popping out the champagne (alright, mebbe just the beer...) when Liverpool gets into the European Champions League Finals. But seeing them make their way into the finals this year against the odds that they faced, I guess I can't call myself a romantic if I didn't applaud their efforts, and be actually really glad for them.

Oh, of course, there's this really small and insignifiant detail of how they wiped that smirk off the face of Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, that definitely made tonight sweeter. Have a tough week ahead, but I can honestly say I don't regret a single minute of staying up tonight.

Hehz.. Heineken ran this really cute ad straight after the march as well. Against a black backdrop, came the voice over that said "You've just watch the European Champions League, live on Five"... then came the captions on the screen that said "Now its your turn to exercise", before fading to show the Heineken graphics with the voiceover "Brought to you by Heineken". Man, that really cracked me up.

And oh, you'll notice that I've put up a song column on my left, and have started playing songs on my blog. On my lesser days when I dun really have a lot to say, these songs will just change, as my mood does. The current track called "Please Don't Send Me To Africa", always comes to mind around mission trip time, because its actually a song that spoke to me very much when I went to Nagoya 4 years ago. I first heard it when I was in secondary school, and was struck by the satire of the lyrics. I remember laughing along with the song, and the mime that came with the presentation, but after going home I found that I couldn't laugh the song off. The chance to do missions never relly materialized since then, until my second year in Crusade. Decided I can't chicken out anymore, and it was a decision I never did regret. 4 and a half weeks there changed my perception of missions in ways no amount of preaching or songs ever could.

Have an IDMC conference coming up. Pretty excited by it. Wanted to go last year, but couldn't make it. No way was I gonna skip it this year. I do hope more people will be going that I'm just unaware of, otherwise I will yet again be reprising my role of the big lightbulb, when attending it with Henry and Bernice.

SIIIGGGGGHHHHH......

Still haven't been able to sleep well. The weather's still acting really crazy, and I keep having really disturbing dreams all night long that keeps me up. Dammit. Don't know what's wrong with me.

Ah well. At least my current mood is HAPPY.

Grins.
