By now I'm fretting liao. I am wondering what the hell am I gonna write about. I don't even write much these days, let alone write about my own life stories on my blog at xanga.com/s_tactics. I don't even go at lengths to enthuse about the Gunners. Or make drawings about the Gunners. Heck, I don't even wear jerseys to the Liz to catch the games these days. Lol. WTF. I only show up. Eat CHICKEN WINGS. Drink leftover beers. Scream. Sing. Burp. And give silent farts here on this particular blog at times. Used to be more often. But my computer at home is still faulty. Should have been fixed. I procrastinate. A lot. Hehe.

Briefly lah. I is Peter Woon. Guest Blogger for SgGooner today.

Recent freelance graphic designer at Shai's *ahems* other half's office. I hope he gets my cheque prepared soon. I know I was late with my invoice. But hey I got the excuse of being away for ICT for the previous 16 over days. Digging trenches even with the help of excavators is tiring ok. Oh ya. I made 200 bucks from IPPT. I is so fit. Coughs. But I cant get 5pts for my Standing Broadjump while the rest of the stations I scored 5pts. Aku Hisap Sial. I like music. I rockclimb. I'm trying to lose more weight so much so I'm not thinking too much about making money and paying bills on time. I've been supporting the Gunners for a long time.....

If there is something that can illustrate, or metaphorically sums up the story of my support for Arsenal FC (and even say a bit of myself and personality), just to make this already very bland post seemed like a whole lot of effort - it's this: Can you all recall NIGEL the Squirrel appearing out of nowhere at Hignbury stadium in the match between Arse and Villareal in the Champions League Semi Finals. That moment he looked up and around and then ran across the pitch. Everyone stopped and even the Villareal players were having a laugh. I reckon all the ladies who watched that must be gushing "oooooh sooooo cute" like how Siren does that a lot when she sees her Sexy Cesc. Heh.

I think we are all passionate about supporting the way Arsenal FC plays. Especially the ways things have been for over more than 10 yrs since Wenger took over the management from Bruce Rioch. Beautiful, freeflowing, passing, running Champagne Football, with that almost perfect blend of English grit and Continental Flair. There are so many wonderful moments but I think that the Nigel the Squirrel moment kinda sums up how I like my support for the Gunners to be like. Because it stood out against those goalscoring even what media has hyped to be history making moments. Because I would like to believe in the wit, sense of humour, bits of humility and tenacity, and sheer will that carries our club through for so long. That one moment seen on TV at Highbury was significant enough for me. Not the club missing out on the final prize against Barcelona. Or celebrating EPL wins. Or even the invincible 49s. So many great players cometh and wenth. Those are almost forgettable like how I can't recall so many things these days. Just hit the 3-0 this year and I'm already losing my youth and found my angst.as well. LOL.

I think those guys I hear at the Liz screaming unnecessarily for heads to roll over some players' decision not to shoot, oughta ease up sometimes. I, myself have been guilty of that too. Of being pissed off at poor individual displays. Flamini was someone I didn't like in the midfield pairing with Cesc, but he has thus far shown up and contributed nicely to the good run we are having. So surprise surprise. Like how surprised I was with Baptista last season. Heck.

Now we are in MK3 era and I think its going to be as fun, entertaining and amusing like that Nigel the Squirrel moment. And also akin to how I show up at the Liz, scuttle around, scamming off chicken wings and beers, game finished and I disappear as well... It's really too bad I'm not gonna be anywhere as cute and adorable as Nigel.... LOL!

I have been so lucky to get acquainted and know all these 'high profile nuts' at the liz. I have Steve-o to thank for bothering to find out bout the Supporters Club at the Liz in 2003. And I tagged along to fill up the void of lonely Saturday nites.... Hahhahaha. Life machiam has never been the same since. Muahahaha. Who'd believe we actually sung a song for a MAN U supporter. Go kopi tiam also not so happening.
