Around a week ago, at the end of April 2008,
when I browsed the Internet to find photos of Champions League match
between Manchester United vs. Barcelona, I found a strange photo of Paul
Scholes when he was scoring the only one goal, the winning goal, to
Barcelona. It was AP's photo, and only a quarter of it appeared, while the
rest three quarter was only gray.
It was like to remind me about the moment when
I failed to get married with Anita in 1982 and Rahma Sarita in 2001.
Anita was then turned to a friend of mine
whose last name Abu has the meaning of gray.
While Rahma Sarita was announced as getting
married with a police officer, who then brought her to England to
continue the husband's school. Barcelona team is also known as
Barca, that sounds a little bit like my cousin's wife Barkah,
who is also an Arab descendant.
It was matched with Paul Scholes goal,
the police goal to Barca.
So what could be the meaning of your Microsoft
team mate Paul Allen, whose villa's photos appeared around that moment
too. The name of Paul Allen is like having the meaning of "police at all
ends". It could be the message for me that if I kept on trying to approach
Rahma again in my present condition, it would only end up with "police at
all ends".

FA Cup 2008 Final Match: Cardiff vs. Portsmouth
|

This month: the FA
Cup final, Wembley, 17 May
The Observer, Sunday May 4 2008

This article appeared in the
Observer on Sunday May 04 2008 on p7 of the News & features
section. It was last updated at 00:13 on May 04 2008.
The Asian telly execs who coughed
up £150m for the broadcasting rights for four years may not
agree, but this year's FA Cup has been one of the most
fascinating in living memory. The wave of giant-killings that
bloodied the road to Wembley, gatecrashing the Big Four's
members-only party, has restored faith in the egalitarianism
of football.
It is Portsmouth's first
Cup final since 1939, and Cardiff City's first since
1927, and neither side is short on grizzled veterans. In Harry
Redknapp's Pompey team Sol Campbell, Lauren and Kanu have
seven winners' medals between them (all with Arsenal), while
David James, pushing 38, is looking for his first final
success after defeats with Liverpool in 1996 and Aston Villa
in 2000. Dave Jones's Cardiff boast Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink,
Robbie Fowler and 'No Longer So Tricky' Trevor Sinclair,
attempting to turn back the clock and give the Championship
side victory. If Cardiff do win, they will be the first team
outside the top flight to lift the Cup since West Ham in 1980.

Portsmouth and Cardiff City won
through to the final of the 2008 FA Cup final following
victories in the semi finals played at Wembley Staduim.
Portsmouth and Cardiff City will contest the 2008 FA Cup final
following victories over West Bromwich Albion and Barnsley
respectively in the semi finals played at Wembley over the
weekend of April 5th and 6th. |

This year's final match of England's
historical soccer cup, FA Cup 2008, seems related with me not only because
it will be held on my birthday of 17 May 2008, but also because one of the
teams, Cardiff, has the name that sounds like related with my consent to
move to the eternity through a
car accident. For me, Cardiff sounds like
"the car that will die Firman".

This year's final match of European's soccer
club, Champions League 2008, will be historical since it will be the first
time that two English teams will meet in the final match, or all-English
final. For me it becomes more meaningful since around the time of the last
matches before the final, or known as second-leg of semifinals, which
results decided the teams to go to final match, you were wearing red and
blue dresses, the color of each finalist team.
