Part two.
21:53 – For my part two of delayed live commentary, Manchester United will play at home against Bolton Wanderers. United looking for another home win while Bolton tries to break that record. Bolton hasn’t won in their last 5 fixtures and are currently in 16th. United was just above at 15th.
21:58 – It seems neither ESPN nor StarSports will air the Qualifying Rounds for Singaporean Grand Prix. I’ll just post some commentary from various sports sites once in a while.
22:01 – United kick-off with Ronaldo making full time appearance since his surgical recovery. Referee: Rob Styles.
22:07 – [SGP] First Qualifying Rounds has just started.
22:08 – Bolton looked threatening in the opening minutes. United looked a bit slower in their approach.
22:09 – Ronaldo just got a piece of the action with a shot deflected wide. Corner.
22:12 – United looking more sharp as Gary Neville tried to shoot with his left leg from range but the shot was deflected.
22:13 – Ronaldo came close. He shoot from distance but deflected and the ball went straight into the keeper’s hands.
22:14 – A dream start for United. Berbatov headed a Fletcher cross but the ball went straight into the keeper.

22:19 – Berbatov falls in the box but play on says the referee.
22:20 –Van der Sar jumps high to save from a Bolton corner.
22:21 – United were firing on all cylinders. How much more can Bolton handle the pressure?

22:26 – United free kick. Ronaldo to take it. He steps up. He shoots. Jaaskelainen punches the ball into a corner. Great free kick by Ronaldo.
22:28 –Gavin McCann was shown a yellow card on a foul on Ji-Sung. Park was in top at the moment.
22:33 – Ronaldo again with a free kick on target. Jaaskelainen safely clutches the ball into his chest.
22:36 – [SGP] Fernando Alonso can’t believe it. His car stopped for no apparent reason. He could’ve got pole position. Now he’s out of qualifying.
22:39 – Simon Davies given a yellow car for a wild challenge on Vidic.
22:42 – Brilliant play from Bolton. Muamba nearly put Bolton ahead. He shoots wide in front of goal. Bolton’s best chance so far.
22:44 – Bolton finally get their rhythm back. United were left defenseless in their counter-attack.
22:48 – Half-Time at Old Trafford. The score stays 0-0.
22:49 – Second qualifying round update. Hamilton nearly out at 10 place. Massa leads the pack. Third round starts in a moment. Hamilton survives by 0.07 seconds!! He goes onto the pole position shoot-out as Massa and Kovalainen are fastest from Raikkonen and Vettel, followed by Rosberg, Glock, Kubica and Heidfeld, then Nakajima and Hamilton.... The five who go out are 11. Trulli, 12. Button, 13. Webber, 14. Coulthard, 15. Alonso.
23:05 – Second-half kick-off is underway.
23:06 – Gardner came close with a header wide.
23:08 – United were almost upfront. Ronaldo’s shot hits the post and Jaaskelainen safely collects it.
23:11 – Bolton win a free kick from Berbatov’s foul. The ball deflected by Tevez for a corner. Bolton with a corner…cleared.
DAMN YOU COMPUTER! CRACHING ON ME IS NOT A VERY NICE THING TO DO!
23:29 – To recap, United got a penalty. Ronaldo fall in the penalty area. Gary Megson was furious. He feels it shouldn’t be a penalty. And the replay show he’s right. Poor decision by the referee. Ronaldo shoots. Keeper sent the wrong way. GOAL! United 1 – Bolton 0
23:33 – Double substitution for United. Rooney and Scholes in. for Tevez and Anderson out.
23:37 – GOAL!!! Ronaldo run with ball on the left. Back heels it to Rooney. Rooney shoots. Rooney scores. United 2 – Bolton 0. Less than 15 minutes to go.

My Destiny

So I took one of those tests recommended by cloudy a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away which tells you "Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?"
So I took the test, answered some silly question and this is what I got.

Final Fantasy Character Test

I know I know. How can this be? I like FF8 as it is the first RPG I've ever played on the Playstation. But Rinoa? She's supposed to be my Squall's girlfriend. I don't even have a hint of spirited and warm personality.
So I take the test again and this time...

Final Fantasy Character Test

That's more like it. The test accurately tells me that I am cold and anti-social. Yeah right!
You can take the test by clicking the link below.
