Jace 'n' Place

“THIS IS ANFIELD, SO WHAT?” was the call to arms emanating from Madrid on the morning of the game.

This is the reply on the night the befuddled troops of Real retreated, well and truly humbled.

Vexations about Old Trafford, Rome, 19 and all come another day.

Celebrations and pride come today.

And when questions like "where is Robben?" and "who is Real's rightback?" started popping in my mind during the match, it is clear that Liverpool's immeasurably lung-bursting and passionate display caused the whole opposition to be anonymous (other than Casillas), and not the other way around. The chants of "There's only one Jay Spearing" going round the stadium serve to bring more smiles to all.

It finally reminds me of Valencia against Liverpool, and the saying - playing them off the park. =P

After being hit in the heart by her poignant "I Don't Love" in 2006, Baek Ji Young (백지영) blew me away with yet another heart-rending song from her 7th album titled Sensibility. This immerse song, "Like Being Hit By A Gun (총 맞은 것처럼)", can be heard just about anywhere you turn in the streets of Seoul while sweeping the music charts through the country since November last year. Other songs I like in the predominantly upbeat album includes 돌아와죠, 그대의 의자 (both ballads) as well as the catchy 멜로디 and 입술을 주고.

Despite a risky operation to remove a cyst from her vocal cords last year, the deep emotions in her soulful voice has never been missing; the huskiness a little less pronounced though. I guess.. I like her voice either way, and more importantly, she has recovered! =p

 
listen / music video / live performance @ KBS Entertainment Awards

Watching her live performance at the KBS Entertainment Awards was a treat, and her little laughter during the middle due to Ji Won and MC Mong giving her the lovely "heart-signs" and admiring cheers was really fun. Well, her rendition was absolutely beautiful there and I can't stop listening to this song over and over again...

총 맞은 것처럼 - 백지영

총 맞은 것처럼 정신이 너무 없어
像中枪一样, 没有了灵魂
Like being hit by a gun, I don't have any conscience
웃음만 나와서 그냥 웃었어 그냥 웃었어 그냥
只想笑 所以笑了 就那样笑了 就那样
Because only laughter comes out, I just laughed, I just laughed, I just...

허탈하게 웃으며 하나만 묻자 했어
虚伪的笑着 只想问你一个问题
While laughing, I only had one question
우리 왜 헤어져 어떻게 헤어져 어떻게 헤어져 어떻게
我们为什么会分手 怎么会分手 怎么会
Why did we break up, how could we break up, how could...

** CHORUS
구멍난 가슴에 우리 추억이 흘러 넘쳐
有了洞的心装着的都是我们的回忆
In my broken heart, our memories flow... they overflow
잡아보려 해도 가슴을 막아도
就算试着想紧紧的抓牢, 就算试着挡住心
Even though I'm trying to hold on, even though I block off my heart
손가락 사이로 빠져나가
也只能全从手指间流走
They still slip through my fingers

심장이 멈춰도 이렇게 아플 것 같진 않아
即使心脏停止了跳动也好象没有这样疼
Even if my heart stops beating, it wouldn't hurt as much
어떻게 좀 해줘 날 좀 치료해줘
怎么样帮帮我 给我治疗
How can you do that, please heal me
이러다 내 가슴 다 망가져
如果再这样下去 我的心将遍体鳞伤
At this rate, my heart will break completely
구멍난 가슴이
有了洞的心
My broken heart
**

어느새 눈물이 나도 모르게 흘러
自己也不知道就流出了眼泪
Already, my tears flow without me knowing
이러기 싫은데 정말 싫은데 정말 싫은데 정말
不想这样 真的不想 真的不想 真的
I hate being like this but, I really hate it, I really hate it, I really...

일어서는 널 따라 무작정 쫓아 갔어
我跟随着起身走了的你 没有考虑就追了上去
You were leaving and aimlessly, I just followed
도망치듯 걷는 너의 뒤에서
逃跑一样走在你身后
You're running away, from behind you
너의 뒤에서 소리쳤어
在你身后 我呐喊着
from behind you, I cried out

** CHORUS
구멍난 가슴에 우리 추억이 흘러 넘쳐
有了洞的心装着的都是我们的回忆
In my broken heart, our memories flow... they overflow
잡아보려 해도 가슴을 막아도
就算试着想紧紧的抓牢 就算试着挡住心
Even though I'm trying to hold on, even though I block off my heart
손가락 사이로 빠져나가
也只能全从手指间流走
They still slip through my fingers

심장이 멈춰도 이렇게 아플 것 같진 않아
即使心脏停止了跳动也好象没有这样疼
Even if my heart stops beating, it wouldn't hurt as much
어떻게 좀 해줘 날 좀 치료해줘
怎么样帮帮我 给我治疗
How can you do that, please heal me
이러다 내 가슴 다 망가져
如果再这样下去 我的心将遍体鳞伤
At this rate, my heart will break completely
**

총 맞은 것처럼 정말 가슴이 너무 아파
像中枪一样, 我的心真疼
Like being hit by a gun, my heart hurt so much
이렇게 아픈데 이렇게 아픈데
这么疼 这么疼
This pain, this pain
살 수가 있다는 게 이상해
竟然也可以活 真的很奇怪
It's weird how I can still be alive

어떻게 너를 잊어 내가 그런 건 나는 몰라 몰라
我要怎么才能忘记你 我不知道 不知道
How can I forget you, I don't know how to do that, I don't know
가슴이 뻥뚫려 채울 수 없어서
心里有了个洞 无法弥补
My heart is pierced, it can't be mended
죽을 만큼 아프기만 해
所以疼的比死还要难受
It hurts as much as death
총 맞은 것처럼
像中枪一样
Like being hit by a gun

Rafa held an absolute peach of a press conference yesterday to rebute Fergie over comments made over the last weeks. You will have read headlines such as "Rafa rages at Fergie", "Rafa launches Fergie attack" and so on this morning. But if you were to see the actual media conference, the real Rafa that you truly see is with a fatherly smile on his face and whipping out a piece of note to lay down his facts. You'll have to see it to believe it.. I simply adore this man!

Permalink: Rafa's Rant / MP4

A couple of classic swipes:

"Or there is another option. That Mr Ferguson organizes the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple."

"Mr Scolari maybe needs to know to use zonal marking against the staff of United because they are always using man to man with the referees when they go to the bench and especially at half-time when they are walking close to the referees and talking and talking and talking."

To put things into perspective, I shall quote from our fellow kopite Socratease in full:

And also a great article in response:

Arise Sir Rafa Benitez

"....take the pressure off Gerrard. Take the pressure off Keane. Take the pressure off the side and putting it all upon himself and the referee before Sunday. I doff my cap sir"

by Paul Jones

我的确超少看台湾综艺节目，也不记得我几时最后一次看宪哥在主持。但是，在几天前播出的“超级星任务”里让我对这一类的综艺节目有更深的尊敬，真的很享受！

从节目开始到中间的部分，宪哥和天心的主持还OK，只是觉得宪哥很“收”。一旦无敌玉玲珑的舜子及NoNo进场后，就把大家闹得超级high，震撼了全场！他们就是那么努力的娱乐观众，宪哥也开始惯性的搞笑，很enjoy很“放”的跟舜哥，No哥和天心闹在一起，就如所谓的“自娱”。这都是很动人的，尤其是里头一些叙述过去很坎坷的片断。最重要的，哈哈哈哈。。他们使我笑得在地上打滚！！！

宪哥提到人家说资历深的叫作常青树，舜哥就等于是演艺圈的仙人掌！哈哈，他们俩都是呀！看着他们谈PASSION，让我恍然想起那对工作与学业不见了的热忱。

怎么看综艺节目也那么多感触呢？哈哈。。真是的。。

如果有空想要开开心心的话，就从Part7看起到Part10吧。有enjoy的话要跟我说！=p
