Liverpool drew Aston Villa 1-1 yesterday. It was disappointing to see Villa level through a Solano free kick resulting from a case of bad judgement from the referee. Liverpool totally dominated the whole game and deserved all three points, but when luck isn't on your side, too bad. Neil Mellor's inexperience truly showed through his inability to convert the array of chances, but Harry Kewell's form took a surprising lift as he effectively combined with Alonso and Gerrard. I was pretty upset that Nunez was substituted for Traore, but it shows that Benitez has faith in the subs, which is a good thing.
Oh well, Mich and I were at Tanjong Rhu today, giving out Accelerade to Mr Yong, Chew, Thong, Justin, Wenkai and Huiming for the marathon. After they passed us at the 34km mark, Mich and I decided on the spur of the moment to run the rest of the distance (8.195km) to the Padang. So yes, we ran. Mich was properly attired, but I wasn't. Boardshorts and a Fila tee, and we both had our bags. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be, maybe cos we ran at quite a slow place. Tanjong Rhu to Stadium Walk to People's Association, Crawford Street, KLSSC, Esplanade, and finally, the Padang. What an experience. I really wanted to run this year's half-marathon but I'm underage as of 5th December. Just 8km and it was exhilarating. At the 41km mark, this guy was holding up a sign saying "Pain is temporary but glory is forever" That totally spurred us on, coupled with the numerous cheers from the crowd, although we weren't actual participants. It really made today a fantastic experience for the both of us.
Met my parents at Funan after that. (I had no extra clothes. Bah) Got my Wacom Graphire3 drawing tablet and a set of 3 skins for my iPod (White, Blue, Lime Green). Using the Lime Green one now. The condition of my previous skin was appalling. Came home and slept for four hours, haha. Pig Alert :)
