Another soccer update!
Arsenal drew with Villarreal last night to qualify for The Champions League Finals! Arsenal secured an aggregate 1-0 win, courtesy of Kolo Toure in the 1st leg of the 2-legged semi-finals!
What was stressful was Villarreal almost scored an injury time penalty which Jens Lehman did well to make a save and hence will be traveling to State De France in France for the finals!! Anyway, it was not a penalty as Jose Mari simply fell to the ground after a light touch and the referee was tricked to believing so!
Thanks goodness that Lehman did his homework on Juan Pablo Riquelme possible penalty kick and correctly predicted where he will shoot and save it. Due to this marvelous save, he has became an Arsenal Legend!
Now on to the Finals and hoping Arsenal will bring back the trophy back to Highbury!

Idiot Driver
I met my fair share of lousy drivers so far and yesterday I met one of the lamest and lousiest driver in Singapore.
Please note that following story comes with a 6 demerit points and $150 fine with it. Do remember that if you chalked up 4 similar offences within 2 years, it is sayonara to your driving lesson. The offence is failing to give way to pedestrian at pedestrian crossing.
I just alighted from the bus and was crossing the zebra crossing. A stupid SUV has just previously move and stopped just before the markings and so I started to cross the zebra crossing. The next thing I know is that the SUV drove pass in front of me when I am on the crossing. I was infuriated and bang my hand on the window. The driver stopped the car after the crossing and wind down his window. I shouted angrily to him that he has just drove pass a zebra crossing with pedestrians on it. His reason, the gap has become wider and he feel that it is large enough for him to cross. I replied angrily that he should give way and not crossed the crossing even if it is wide enough. He then shakes his head and waves his hand at me which I reacted by shouting back that I will call the Traffic Police and report him to it. Just that I am hungry and a bit lazy to report to Traffic Police and I did not note down his car license plate. Next time, the next driver will not be so lucky!
I hereby like all Singapore drivers to note that it is a TRAFFIC OFFENCE NOT TO GIVE WAY TO PEDESTRIANS ON A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. The result is a 6 points demerit on your nice license and also your wallet will be lighter by 3 crispy $50 notes, a $150 fine. Save time? Save your money and your license instead.
Sidenote : to see more horrible drivers, look at these parking idiots!
