[[]]

It's been a long day filled with quite a few highlights.

Firstly, congrats to Barcelona on winning the Champions League this season. In fairness, I have to say that they were pretty marvellous even though Ronaldinho was a little bit off-colour and they fully deserve the victory.

And hopefully, those whinging Arsenal fans can stop complaining about Lehman's red card. Look, he knew what he was doing when he went into the challenge. It was a straight red, without a shadow of a doubt. You can argue till the cows come home that the referee should have played the advantage, but what makes you so bloody sure that your team can come back from a goal down, even with 11 men? I'm sure even Barcelona would have preferred to take the goal rather than play against a 10-man Arsenal.

I don't even see these Arsenal fans complain about Eboue's dive, which resulted in a goal from the freekick. Such hypocrisy.

Not to mention that my general impression of Thierry Henry. As wonderful a player he is, he should be more gracious in defeat. Just admit the fact that you had 2 fantastic chances to win the game for your team, and you didn't. A man is not measured by how many victories he achieves, but how gracious is he in accepting defeat.

Went to SAFTI Physio for perhaps the last time. And it wasn't a bad last trip. Was attended to by an attachment physiotherapy student from Nanyang Poly, and she is kinda cute. Maybe if I had asked for her number......

The Da Vinci Code finally opens in cinemas today. Been waiting so long for the movie to be released, and I hope to find enough time over the weekend to catch it. Saw some news report on TV that Catholics in some countries had taken to the streets to protest the screening of the movie. I'm not against any religion or race, but if they don't want to watch it, just don't go!!

I mean, it sort of shows how much faith they have in their own religion. And trying to insult a general audience's ability to distinguish between fact and fiction. Who is to say that everything written in the Bible is true anyway? Isn't it, afterall, a book written by man for men?

Besides, I have this belief that because of the novel, a lot of people began looking up on the topic and have a better understanding of the religion. I, for one, am one of them.

Humans should just learn to be more tolerant. It's a shame that wars are usually fought due to intolerance of others' religous beliefs or race.

I think I shouldn't go any further on this topic. In case I get censored or locked up or anything. Very typical Singaporean huh?

Been listening to Corrine May's songs. Nice lyrics and very easy listening. Would probably check out her album when my finances are more on the up.
