Approved!

According to my phone call. Will have to go in next week to pick up my documents since tomorrow is a holiday here in HK.

Changed my flight

To 8th March 2010, this way I will hopefully just have to make 1 more change whenever I find out what is going to happen.

Still waiting

Yup, as much as I *heart* HK and its food I really hope I can get my visa soon so I can get out of here and get some money so I can spend some more.

FA Cup Semi

Stayed up last night to watch the Arsenal v Chelsea FA Cup semi final. The Gunners made a fantastic start with Walcott scoring early on in the first half. He knocked home a volley but it did take a deflection off Ashley Cole's hand to get past Petr Cech. Not long after that though Chelsea decided to pick up their game and soon equalised through Malouda. It was a half hearted defending effort from Eboue who seriously should have closed him down a lot better.

Throughout the game I was feeling nerves every time Denilson and Diaby had the ball in midfield because they were making far too many mistakes. They are still very young as players and perhaps the big occasion is just a bit too much for them to handle. Diaby though should really wake up because he kept giving away the ball too easily and being too casual about every touch he took.

There were a couple of moments in the game that could have turned it either way. Malouda is such a dirty player, he shoved Cesc down a couple of times and once in the penalty area and then claim that he was diving when replay had shown a clear push by him. Silvestre clearly handballed in the penalty area but got away with it, I still question why Mr Wenger bought him, surely there are better options out there.

The defining moments though belonged to the birthday boy, Gunners keeper, Lukasz Fabianski. What were you thinking? You made the mistake against Wigan the other day by rushing out and they nearly scored when we were 1-0 down. You did it again here with Drogba and lost again, luckily Gibbs was able to get back and hacked it off the line. With 6 minutes to go you decided to rush out again and this time got rounded and lost the game. Sure, Silvestre should probably have done better defending in the first place but there was no need to rush out of the penalty box. He didn't even have control of the ball at the time and with Toure and Silvestre rushing back you would've had a better chance coming out later. Game finished 2-1 Chelsea. With the current injury crisis the Gunners are a bit thin at the back and another trophy-less season is likely to happen and I hope Mr Wenger can keep his side together next year.

NJ_La surprise

Well I kinda guessed it after thinking about her story. I wasn't 100% sure so didn't have my hopes up and just waited at the agreed spot outside Lane Crawford at CWB. Here's the story:

- She told me she was going to be out early with KT and won't be online so in total she disappeared for like 2 days
- Her sister called me early on Monday morning (holiday in HK) to get her keys back even though I was suppose to pass it on to NJ_La later in the week
- On my way there I realised that it was Monday and just enough time for NJ_La to take the Sunday flight back
- After thinking about it, there is no way KT would be awake so early to go out on a holiday plus I would be at home anyway so she would at least hop online for a bit before going out anyway

At 12:30, I see NJ_La at CWB. I'm smart. :D

Now watching...

Watching
24
Heroes
Full Metal Alchemist

Finished
Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou
Gundam 00
PoT
BSG

The bad thing is they all come out Monday/Tuesday, leaving me nothing for the rest of the week.

*Edit*
I did watch Sengoku Basara and it is like watching Dynasty Warriors anime. I'm not sure whether I can get into it though but will give the second episode a go next week. Also watched Cross Game, it's pretty much like Touch and/or H2 but since it is by the same guy I'm not surprised. I did enjoy watching it so might continue with that one too.

Changed flight

Still no news!
