a never ending dream.
back from china! not exactly the greatest trips ever. certainly better than what i expected, of course. but its not exactly somewhere i'll be going back to in a hurry. too damn cold. and dry. especially hate the dryness. i like to keep my face dry and so when i went there naturally my face cracked right open. urgh. give me singapore anyday. but at least it didnt rain! stupid singapore weather. look at the weather forecast for the next 5 days all thunderstorm. thank you, captain obvious. let's just hope it means the rainy season ends earlier so january will be all nice and sunny. highlight of the entire china trip has to be lying in the snow. so awesome! although the snow was so powdery so it was impossible to make any snowballs. and padawan braids :) so cute. but of course only i know what that means.
now is the part of holiday where the sloth starts to set in. yup! must find stuff to do quickly or my mind will rot.
and last night's match was rather encouraging. at least we didnt get torn apart. but seriously, what is wrong with mertesacker? there's an utter lack of urgency about his defending. never mind about that lazy closing down he did on aguero that allowed him to get a shot off. there was a ball into the box where he was better positioned and yaya toure beat him to it. for a guy of 1.9 you would expect him to win every single high ball into the box. somehow he seems so loose. and djourou is not a full back. he showed that against chelsea, he showed it last night. i dont care how fast he is, if he dosent know when and when not to step up he's going to be one heck of a disaster. and i dont really understand the boos for samir nasri. its not as if he was such a great player at arsenal. i only noticed him after that 2 goals he scored against man utd (when we won 2-1) and after that he kinda faded until last season. lets face it, until last season he was considered to be a "luxury player". and if we didnt cheer him throughout his entire career i dont see why we should boo him for everytime we see him. fickle fickle fans. i bet if adebayor came back to arsenal right now we would cheer him like crazy.
oh well. i still hope for the best. but i still wanna see you again. when will it be?
