Sadness and joy

The girl in the pictures is my friend Puay Li, who is my 'neighbour' at work and a good friend. She left yesterday for a year's study in Wales, and I will miss her for her insight, her logical and direct way of looking at issues, and her sweet but at times deadly tongue. I wish her all the best in her studies, and may God protect her each step of the way.

That's the sad part. The joyous part is my beloved Gunners won their first game at the Emirates Stadium, beating Sheffield United 3-0! And darling Thierry scored! That's the icing on the cake! Now, we gotta keep winning and overtake Manure....who drew (hahaha!) with Reading.
