And so Arsenal crashed out of the FA cup semifinal. They lost it out to Chelsea after a goalkeeping error gifted drogba the winning goal in the 83rd minuite. That came after a brilliant spell of goal creating chances that were'nt converted due to a mixture of poor finishing, great chelsea defending and some brilliant goalkeeping. Its a real heartbreak, where i almost broke down in tears after watching the sorrowful faces of the Arsenal fans on television. But nevertheless, i believe we can take many positives from the game where we played some great football and at times swept the chelsea players off their feet.

I've been spending alot of time with my NI mates lately. Which is a great thing. Friday had a cookie baking session held at my house. Was expecting a huge battalion to turn up, but only zariq, sayyidi, begum, wawan, mus, marliyana and aishah turn up in the end. We had lots of fun baking cookies and my mum helped us a whole lot. Thanks mummy, we couldn't have done it without you. In the end, i think i estimated around 200 cookies baked. Which exceeded our target of 150. Alhamdulillah. Oh and i have yet to mention that the cookies taste absolutely delicious. Can really give famous amos a run in their money. Heh.

Yesterday had NI trek. Kind of ironic when there are only about 8 NI members who were present and the students from madrasah Irsyad as well as NYP exceeded us in numbers. But alhamdulillah, the good side of it is that we were able to make new friends. I made friends with people like Azhar and Asyraf, although most of the NI members known them already through RELITE camp which i didn't attend. Anyway, the event went well and it was great fun inspite of the tired and cramp legs after walking up slopes and steps along Mount Faber and eventually into kent ridge park. And i got to say, the henderson wave is really beautiful. A brilliant piece of art in terms of its design. And the scene surrounding it is also quite simply stunning. I really learnt to cherish and enjoy the nature more during the event. I came to realise the wonders and beauty of the nature. It was really wonderful, and alhamdulillah, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves throughout the whole event. InsyAllah, we will have another similar event next year. I very much will be looking forward to it.

Oh and school is starting like tommorow. To be honest, i don't think i am in the school mood yet. It'll be intresting to see how i cope with the first day of school tommorow. First day is aways the hardest and i believe it sets the tone for the whole semester. So hopefully, i would be able to wake up fresh and energetic tommorow as school starts at 8am. Especially when i only had 4 hours of sleep last night due to watching soccer. Haha.
