So I dropped to the lousier Chinese class on Monday, after hearing that the recent bao zhang bao dao composition test was of a lower grade. I got 29, one mark short of staying in the better class. No offense, though. Well, I just don't seem to get it. There are 25 plus of us weaker students, based on the Prelim 1 and this recent test results, in one class. And on the other hand, there are only around 15 plus of stronger students in the other class, who fared better both times. I just wonder, how are those 25 weaker ones, including myself, going to improve with the teacher having to give less attention to each of us? I mean it may not work this way - the attention part, but it's just that both classes should be balanced, and that the recent test should not have been taken into consideration in the first place. One word I can describe this, weird.


Anyway, we had two tests in a day on Monday, first taking the beleaguered History test - that most had to retake both essays today, I only had to retake one - and then taking the Chemistry test, all with percentage in this June's Prelim 2. Yikes! Lol... There's also been quite a bit of homework to be done over this Good Friday long weekend, but there's more time to catch up and take a break.


The mid-week match played today morning between Carling Cup finalist Chelsea and winner Tottenham Hotspur ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw, that could have gone Spurs way at the death had Dimitar Berbatov finished off his effort. Chelsea should have had one goal disallowed, due to Didier Drogba's being offside and interference with play. But overall it was a good match and an excellent advert for English football.


Speaking of that, Super Sunday's this weekend. Liverpool travel 40 miles to Old Trafford to face old-enemy Manchester United, while Chelsea face North London rivals Arsenal. Here's MY line-up for Liverpool:

Jose Reina

Alvaro Arbeloa
Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel
Fabio Aurelio

Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano
Dirk Kuyt, Steven Gerrard (captain), Ryan Babel

Fernando Torres

With Liverpool winning their last 7 games with the above formation, Rafa should be logical to stick with it away to Man Utd. Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel will have to be at the top of their game against Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, whilst Fabio Aurelio or Alvaro Arbeloa will have to deal with the all-conquering top-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.

Javier Mascherano could deal with Rooney too, as the latter prefers to drop deep to act as a playmaker, while Xabi Alonso will have to win the midfield battle against the likes of Paul Scholes or Andersen, or even Michael Carrick. Dirk Kuyt will play a little more defensive and his work rate will be at an all-time high, with him tracking back to help on his flank. Steven Gerrard will patrol the area behind Liverpool's top-scorer Fernando Torres, and will definitely be marked by Owen Hargreaves. Ryan Babel will have to be at his best to beat the likes of Wes Brown or Patrice Evra, while Torres will have to work hard and fully utilize his pace to beat Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

So it's going to be like a Carragher vs Rooney; Ronaldo vs Aurelio; Babel vs Brown; Gerrard vs Hargreaves; Ferdinand vs Torres, sorta game. Hopefully Liverpool will produce their best football after a cagey affair. I'll only be really pissed with the Reds if they do not go out and do their best. Even beaten 1-0, at least they have to try their best and make United work their butts off. Haha...
Chelsea and Arsenal? Please, a draw would be fine.

Bye~!
