期望暴雨飄去 便會衝破命運困鎖 Until the storm is gone, we shall shrug off the shackles of destiny

Having waited for several months, I received my first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine on May 31. Several months ago, the Malaysian government opened up AstraZeneca for voluntary take-up due to the public’s health concerns. I registered immediately as I knew the chance of developing blood clot is four in one million and I saw the situation in UK started to see a recovery.

若籌組超級聯賽,那些自以為豪門的球隊在國內聯賽就不需要奮鬥了,反正自己每年都參與在那個很多球星的聯賽之中。我最不明白就是,阿森納、托登罕熱刺這一季英超排名在萊斯特市、西罕之後,又憑什麼認為自己擁有豪門球會的永久會籍呢? Continue reading “自以為永遠是豪門之荒謬”
