dejected players

Had to pause my Europe trip tour entry and write my frustration about Manchester United. As everyone knows they have been knocked out of the European Champions League (in the group stage) What got me really pissed is that the group consist of Benfica, FC Basel & Otelul Galati on paper is by far the easiest group any top teams would like to be in. I still remember during the draw, i was in shocked to see such an easy group. My group of friends were also predicting how United will set a new record on goals scored in group stage, unfortunately is was the total opposite, finishing 3rd in the group automatically drops you to Europa League. Depressing.

But lets move on, United is now in the Europa League a second tier European tournament, where usually all the teams that finishes 5th - 8th in their respective league plays in Europe the following season. Not like the Champs League they play on the Tuesday & Wednesday nights but this tournament plays on the Thursday, not only everyone hates Thursday, a false hope at the end of a long work week, but we also now play in the competition where Fulham, Stoke City and even smaller English team plays. Thursday nights = Sleep, or do something or anything, avoid watching what you know will hurt. If i knew this shit would happen, i rather them finish fourth and not enter such a mediocre competition and focus on the F.A Cup and the English Premier League. It does hurt, but it will really sink in during February when the Champions League resumes and you see all the big juggernauts teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid and other big boys competing for the big glory trophy. We had it coming when you treat Champions League like how United did this year, it's not a competition to play your reserves and hoping they could do the job. Yes you can when you have QUALIFIED and then start playing those players that need games. After not using much of Berbatov, Valencia, Da Silva twins, Macheda in the "easy" league games, you throw them in a few of the group stage games thinking they could do the job. So we had it coming, a big slap in the face and well deserve punished.

How Man United been playing the last couple of weeks have been seriously awful, the last game we played we started with 5 defenders, 4 wingers and 1 striker. I also read a report that United attempted 46 crosses throughout the match and only 7 connected to a United player. Seriously? 46 crosses? To Wayne Rooney the lone striker? Come on...he's not even that good with his head + he ain't the tallest player around. Best player of that night was Ryan Giggs, 38years old pulling the strings for us, the more i go the more depressing it sounds. To say lack of creativity in this current team is an understatement, when all odds were against us, no one stepped up with a match winning contribution. Last 2 games, United scored 2 goals (1-0 win & 1-2 lost) Both scored by Phil Jones, a defender/"midfielder" shows how bad United need to start finding their scoring boots. In my opinion i think they are lack of confidence at this point of time, no one seem to have trust in their talents instead of running against defenders, playing neat 1-2 passing like the start of season, they kept pumping long balls for someone to chase and cross from every angle they could. Now the players have an even bigger job to show their character to come back from what it seems a low point.

Tonight they resume the league match against Wolves, the team that beat them away last season in February. The first league defeat too if i am not mistaken, on paper this should be an even easier win for United, if they could pick an opponent to bounce back from a terrible week it would be Wolves. There will be a few players needing to step up and show why they are in United, players like Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra who recently came out and say players need to start looking in the mirror, you need to do so Patrice. Ashley Young who had a great start, doesn't look like himself anymore the last couple of games since his come back from injury. David De Gea needs to start keeping clean sheets to gain more confidence, i will not criticise him just yet as his team does leave him hanging at the goal post, but he clearly needs to get a clean sheet. As for who will partner Rio Ferdinand in the central of defender, i am fucking hoping its Phil Jones, for the love of god please let it be Jones. I do not question Sir Alex decisions in putting teams out there, but i cannot for the life of me see what he sees in Johnny Evans. Striking department United is pretty depleted as we have so many injuries, that leaves a half fit Berbatov, Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney. It should be Welbeck partnering Rooney, so that doesn't sound too bad, but Wayne you need a goal badly, we United have been struggling with you not scoring, it has been 9-10 matches now you have not hit the net.

Vidic injury vs Basel (out for 8months)

Before i end my entry i would like to add on by saying it seems over the last few months, i have fallen asleep and woke up in another planet. One where United got trashed 6-1 by City, United being second in the league table, getting knocked out of the Champions League. United have suffered terrible injuries to certain key players at crucial times, Javier Hernandez (vs Villa) when he was finally having a fine form after all the injuries. Welbeck (vs Arsenal) injury came a time when the youngster was enjoying the best form in the United shirt, Tom Cleverly (vs Bolton).. To make things worse, Nemanja Vidic our captain/rock/wall/solid/tank is out for the rest of the season, he will dearly be missed. It's not plain sailing at the moment, with the derby defeat, crashing out of League cup to a noob team, crashing out of the Champions League, injuries and the Da Silva twins inability to complete a full match. But there are enough reasons to to again feel proud and glad we're supporting Manchester United football club. We have the chance to avenge Man City in the FA Cup 3rd round, its hard luck drawing them so early in the competition but if we want to win a competition, we are destined to face top clubs so i guess why not now. We have played the top 10 teams in the league, coming into December/Jan/Feb is where United usually show the consistency and strength. Call me mad, crazy or over confident, but i have been a believer in them since i was 7-8, looking through the team sheets, the manager's name, the fixtures we and opponents have left coming up, i cannot help but feel as i always have that its always a great time to be a United fan!

Amsterdam November 2011

2011-12-06T23:53:00.001-08:00

I'm finally gonna start writing about my recent Europe trip! Pretty sure "everyone" that reads my blog would think it's going to be Manchester first, then follow by the rest! But nope..being with my baby is way above the anything =) Let me just start off by saying how wonderful the trip was, from beginning to the end (there are a few irritating moments throughout the trip, but yeah still fun nonetheless)

I have to say the weather was perfect in my Amsterdam time, i don't recall any rain while i was there and it wasn't freezing cold either. I manage to do all the things i've planned out to do except for 2 things which is going to Den Haag for Madurodam (i think i spelled correctly, which is like a miniature city which i've been but don't mind going again because it drizzled like a bitch the first time) and the second is Anne Frank house which is quite popular place to visit in the Amsterdam (go google if you never heard of her) So here are the things i have manage to do, some are planned and some aren't! Muahha =D

1. Celebrate my baby's 23rd birthday!
2. Canal cruise
3. Artis royal zoo
4. Heinken brewery
5. Coffeeshops
6. Red light districts
7. "Clubbing"
8. Visiting Dusseldorf, Germany for a day
9. Shoppings in Amsterdam and outlets in the border of Amsterdam (LoL)
10. Amsterdam Arena (Netherlands vs Switzerland international friendly match)
11. Some Markets
12. Food (Wok to Walk, Oliebollen, Pea soup, Pancakes, Hema's hot dog, Fries, Risotto, Swirl ice cream, Space cakes, and many many others)
13. Zaanse Schans
14. Vollendam

Not sure if i manage to list everything down, but yeah that sounds good enough to me, hehe! I've said it before and i will say it again, the city of Amsterdam is starting to grow on me more and more. I love the place, the fresh air from day to night, the friendliness of the people, the "punctuality" of the public transport, the price isn't cheap but hey if i earn Euro i think everything are affordable. The language is still something i can not get used to, but i don't find it weird any more, in fact sometimes i wish i could pick it up and start speaking to my gf in Dutch, it's just a matter of time before i start picking up Dutch lessons.

Anyway the main purpose i chose the date to go Europe on the 1st November til the 21st is because of my girlfriend's 23rd birthday. So since i am not very familiar with Amsterdam, i have asked a few of her friends to recommend some nice Italian restaurants, unfortunately the one i wanted was fully booked therefore we had to go Bar Italia. The food was pretty decent, but my gf happen to saw a rat while waiting for our food so that was abit awkward lol (she hates rats as much as i hate cockroach, ok wait i dont hate cockroach i'm scared or terrified of 'em) haha and the seating they have placed us was pretty weird too, a single table that couldn't fit much and we were in the middle of everyone hahaha but i guess her company was all i care about that night. That was also the night i entered my first coffeeshop, smoked a little of weed + tasted some of the space cakes, to be honest it was pretty delicious, taste exactly like a chocolate cake. LOL, so yeah I know how that could lead someone to total madness.

Ahh my favourite Olieboll (Only during winter period)

Space Cake

The Legal Weed =)

The next night we had a small drinking session at Lime Bar with a few of her close friends, i was pretty happy to see a few familiar faces like Mandy who did not meet for over 2years, Ying, Monique, Annemiek. I was also pretty happy to have met a few new faces, Elaine and Michelle both were very nice and sweet as well :) We couldn't drink much that night because we had an early flight the next day to England, but somehow we got home and slept pretty late. I will post Amsterdam part #2 on my next entry, so before i stop, here are just some pics from that night in Lime Bar.

Group Shot :)

PS: I can't get any redder.. lol =/ & mind my hair on the night, pretty messed up i look like shiet =D muahahha!

MAN UNITED 1

MAN CITY 6

How do i even begin....? I am absolutely stunned by the result, if i had missed the game and later read a newspaper or through the internet that was the scoreline, i'd probably think its April fools day. Disgrace would be the one word i'll use for today's outcome. Where was the fight? Where was the fightback? Where was the game plan? Most importantly where was the DEFENDING??!?! We were awful. We got owned. We lost. and I am fucking angry! Staring at the tv with scoreline of 1-6 to Man City at Old Trafford?! Serious? Fucking SERIOUSLY?! Surely something is wrong with the tv?! It's suppose to be the other way round!? RIGHT!?.. Part of my heart just dropped of low, walking back to my car in shame was how i felt....disbelief...

United have came out the blocks flying the start of season, free flowing football were being played, goals were sharing among everyone and bam!!! The last couple of games, United have been playing like a very average team, they dropped points at Stoke City and then followed up with a few couple of crap results in Champions League. The draw game with Liverpool (1-1) at Anfield was merely lucky, we could have easily lost it, and after 3 defeats in a row last few seasons, i will take a draw anytime of the day.

Then came today, a derby game, against the noisy blue half of Manchester. My prediction was we will not lose, so either a narrow win or maybe even a draw (which i hope not to happen, now i fucking wished it did) We started the game fairly well, kept the ball pretty well until Man City strike first through Mario Balotelli. From then on the stadium went really silence, all you could hear was the few thousands City supporters chanting and bashing at United fans from the side. We ended the half at 0-1 down, and sometimes its not a bad thing, United tend to play better after getting their in-famous "hairdryer" treatment by Sir Alex. So came the second half, in less than 3minutes my most hated defender in United's squad Johnny Evans got a red card, to be fucking honest i am so glad he got what he deserved. I truly believe this would be his last game of the season, or maybe even worse last game of his Man United career. I was stunned when he actually fouled Mario Balotelli, he was 2 step ahead of the striker and yet lost in pace and then gave a way a last man foul (which is more or less a red card) Absolutely lazy defending, lousy defending, slow defending, i could go fucking on. I am just boiling over that, and i can't believe i am saying this but Sir Alex Ferguson definitely got this line up wrong. How could you start Johnny Evans in such a big game? He is an average defender, barely got any games last season cause he sucked when he got his chance, what was the main reason to start him?!?!?!!?!?!! What happened to our captain Nemanja Vidic? He was playing in the Champions League middle of the week (got sent off, but we won anyway) He should be fit! Even if he isn't why can't you play Chris Smalling in the middle and slot Phil Jones on the right!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAARRGGHHH i'm losing it!! Anyway yes, after that sending off United was spread wide open, with the quality of Manchester City, you will get punished and that's what we got. After going down 0-2, United never recovered, shortly after that 0-3...Darren Fletcher had a terrible game in my opinion, but he went on the score and made the scoreline 1-3, from then on United being United thought a comeback could happen, by going forward they were even more open at the back. 1-6 was the final score, maybe the goal by Fletcher was just something we dint need. United were poor, poor from defense all the way to attack, all over the park. I so pity David De Gea the only one in the team who couldn't do anything at all, depressing defending all day, should have just threw his gloves at each of the defenders. Worse part is no one seemed to care, the only one that showed a little of fight was Wayne Rooney, even at one point shouted at all his colleagues in disgust! I would have too..As for Rio Ferdinand and Evra, should have known better to called it a day at 3-1 down. Keep the ball instead of going forward and getting slaughtered in return....

Oh well the game is over, i'm sure there's a lot of other supporters out there are bashing United fans every way they could. All i could say is bring it, beat us 9-0, 10-0, 1-0 we're still the champions, we are second as i type with 5 points behind Man City. 7 more months of football to be played, and then we will see who gets the last laugh. Hopefully after this rout, the squad will reformed and start playing proper football again. Bounce back Red Devils! Do not disappoint me as i will be watching your next HOME GAME!

The View Of My Seat =) Jealous much?!? :D:D:D:D

YES BABY! It's official, i will be attending the match between Man United vs Sunderland on 5th Nov 2011! Took me three freaking weeks to get this done, at first we were waiting for the tickets to go on general public sale (because only season pass holders or official members could get them) Waited for over 2weeks plus a couple of emails on inquiring them, i finally gave in. I convinced Tim to apply the official membership which cost £30, so when the two of us applied i had to find another way to get my gf a ticket as well. There was no way i am going to the match without her, then i turn to another friend of mine which is a pretty huge United fan as well, i successfully convinced him to apply (PHEW!) Truth to be told the membership benefit is really good especially for people who lives there. I would have applied long ago if i knew we could get all this discounts and free goodies at every start of season:-

• 2011 Manchester United Yearbook • Champions 19’ branded key ring and pin badge set • Champions 19 calendar and poster • Exclusive DVD • Fixture list • Official Membership card • Information and Benefits Booklet.

• Members have priority over the general public for match tickets Due to the high demand for tickets, tickets are allocated using a ballot (draw) which is exclusive to Official Manchester United Members.

• Receive a £5 discount for tickets to all Home Fixtures.

• Gain free entrance into Home Reserve matches played at Moss Lane, Altrincham FC.

• Members can request to go on the Season Ticket Priority List.

• Members receive a half price discount on entry to the Museum and Tour Centre.

• Obtain a 10% discount on purchases from the Megastore (both online and at the store).

• Receive a 10% discount on meals in the Red Café.

Woohoo those are all the stuffs i'll be getting :) Now i can shop online with extra 10% discount, how wonderful is that muahahahhaa! I am thinking of renewing 'em every year which cost £27, that will allow me opportunity to watch a Man United vs Liverpool or Man City game. Something i would like to experience in my life time, plus with Air Asia flights being so cheap to London, then hop onto Amsterdam after to see my gf :)

My dream is coming true in 23 days time =) Ahhhh life's good! Can't wait to see my baby too, man i miss your hugs ;) ♥

2011-09-22T11:21:00.000-07:00

Is date i'll be arriving....

Amsterdam, The Netherlands!

It's been 3.5years now since my last visit, oh how i much i miss that country! Last time i was there, i spent the entire month in Amsterdam, and i ashamed to say i have not seen that much. So this trip i will do the necessarily things like canal cruise, visit a few coffee shops, see a better looking red light district, Heineken brewery and some other must-see places. Now that i have a better camera, i'll also need to take more pictures of the scenery / buildings. Pretty sad looking back at my previous photo folder of the trip, i don't have many nice shots of the place :/ But the weather did play apart of my trip, it was always raining and wet. Not that i hate winter but i don't want the rain but anytime for snow! I'm crossing my finger it snows earlier this year, i know its almost seemingly impossible but looking at how weird the weather have been around the world, i wouldn't put my hope down.

I remember the first time going there, i was pretty nervous for a few reasons. 1) Staying with my gf's parents for the entire month 2) Meeting the brother for the first time 3) Meeting her friends for the first time 4) Experiencing my gf's world for the first time 5) My first trip to Europe. So yes that's a lot to go through, but i think i passed with flying colors? LoL! After that trip it was easier between me and my gf, she could tell me where she'll be going (if i have seen or been) I'll know what kinda friends she hangs out with, and surprisingly i found all of them pretty friendly towards me. Funny thing is they found it weird i speak English so fluently, uhuhhh.... and i found it weird they don't! They're not bad but i expect them to speak better, not her friends but in general like the public.

There are many multiple reasons why i'm really excited for this trip, but nothing is gonna top seeing my baby for sure. It's been 2.5months now since we've been apart (going to be 3.5months when i fly) So i am missing her dearly much! Best of all i will be there when she celebrates her 23rd birthday! My baby is getting older, but way wiser and prettier! Speaking of her right now, she graduated today, congratulations again hun!! So very proud of you, wished i could be there with you :( Ok back to subject, i wont be going alone this trip! Tim one of my very best old buddy will be accompanying me, he's also probably my most reliable friend around(some say my other brother), that's why he's on my speed dial! LoL, ok besides picking me up when i'm drunk middle of no where, he does help me whenever he can =) So i am super pleased he has agreed to join me! We will be partying hard in the clubssssssssss baby, and to all my gf's friends watch out, Mr Tequila is coming to raid your ass! :D Alright besides that, i gotten closer to afew of my gf friends, so i am pretty excited to see them, they always say i should go there again or more often, well i wish if my currency were stronger i'll come every year! I miss seeing her family as well, i got more comfortable with them since the trip to Pattaya, Thailand. From then i've seen them a couple of times even without my gf being around, i guess everything is falling into place for me, and damn i miss their home cook food =P

Last but not least, i will hope to see more of Amsterdam, understand the culture more, know my way more around the area, meet more of her friends, and learn more about the place. The language is definitely something i can't perfect it, look at my English, it still suck after 27years hhahaha! Dutch dialogue....HAVE you heard them speak!? I don't wanna sound like an ass but damn, its seriously fucking hard! I definitely need a one on one professional tutoring if i wanna learn that language, will probably pick it up someday(HOPEFULLY it wont be as hard as i think it is) Oh yes can't wait to shop a little bit too, i kinda need a new working clothes wardrobe, so with my baby's fashion taste, i am in safe hands =)

That's all for this trip i guess? 2weeks in Amsterdam (1 in England) I know its never enough, but lets hope i get to do all the things i look forward to!! See you soon the land of windmills =))

Old Trafford, Here i come..

2011-09-12T10:38:00.000-07:00

DID YOU READ THAT RIGHT? or let me repeat...

I AM GOING TO OLD TRAFFORD!!!!!

*I can already picture my self with approximately 75,000 fans jumping up and down, holding up a Man United scarf throughout the game singing along*

Back then badminton was always my childhood sport, my dad introduce that sport to me, bought me a kiddie racket when i was 2 and we played everyday behind the alley, in front by the gate, parks that has open air court. Then as time goes by, i was 8years old when i first heard the name "Manchester United" I started watching a little football, one fine day i decided to try kicking a ball. My neighbor has one and they offered me to play with them, so there i was started off playing on the street, bare foot running around plus we were pretty silly that every time car comes we have to stop and pause the game and look like idiots. LoL, trust me this happened many places back in Malaysia, so we're not the only geeks haha..So the older i got i learn the game further, i watched more and more football, and of course the influenced i got supporting United was through my neighborhood. Then of course whenever you support a team, there's always one person in the team that really inspire you, and that man was "Eric Cantona" He's one of the Legend in the club, believe it or not he only played for United 5 seasons, 1992-1997. Now can you imagine how big of an impact he made, so yes this is how it all started for me.

I can still remember when i was in primary school, i always wanted to buy their jerseys, and trust me it ain't cheap. It was at least RM350 per kit, without name / number or the English premier league badge, it wasn't even by NIKE back then. To buy their merchandises there was a store in SS2 called the Manchester United Malaysian football fan club, i went there once and that was the last time. I bought 2 jersey, one with name/number ("Cantona 7" of course) and the other just a home kit, in fact i wanted to buy the whole shop! I was begging my mom to get me the bed sheet, pillow cover, floor carpet, curtains, towels, whatever they had there i wanted! I don't remember what else i bought, maybe some other small cheaper merchandise like stickers maybe? But yeah i remember spending 4 digits in that store, and yes i was 10-11years old, that's a lot of money especially for clothing. Up til today i still have them in my closet, and as i grow older i started saving my monthly allowance and maybe buy one jersey every 2-3 seasons, i couldn't afford their names and numbers though =(

Now do you get why i always buy so many of their jerseys? I finally earn my own money and yes eventhough its a waste of money buying every season but its my passion and i cannot go through one season seeing them play on TV and not have what they wear!! I now own a total of 10 jersey, soon to be 12 =) It's still A LOT cheaper than girls shoes, handbags and what not, so don't even try comparing. Believe it or not, this helps my girl friend a lot in the buying presents department, anytime when she wants to surprise me with a gift, and she can't think of any, Manchester United merchandise is what she goes for. Best of all without fail, i will love it! LoL!! I think my last 3 United kits were all bought by her, so yes she spoils me hehehe.

Okay we're going out of topic! Now back to Old Trafford, as you guys can see i have updated my holidays section at the side, i will be visiting Europe once more! It's been 3years plus now, so i am super excited and more on that in another entry, this will solely be my upcoming Manchester trip! I will be arriving Manchester on the 4th Nov and be leaving to London on the 6th, i have most of my itinerary mapped out! I will be doing a museum and stadium tour on the 4th (OMGOMGOMG!) and i will be atten...WAIT FOR IT...ding a match between Manchester United vs Sunderland on the 5th (OMFGOMFGOMFGOMFG!) I will be going to watch the game with one of my oldest best buddy Tim, my high school friend + fiance that is staying in Newcastle and my one and only other half babygirl =) She is probably sick of Old Trafford now that i go bonkers almost every single time when we mention about Manchester, lol and this post entry ain't helping any hahaha!!

Old Trafford front entrance "19"

The famous Streford End

I have to steal some google search images, just for now =) I will have 217387126387163 pictures to post up after my trip! Thinking of the trip gives me goosebumps already, experiencing how loud and noisy during match day is just gonna be one of the highlights of my life. I was happy to just go a museum / stadium tour, but to experience a proper league match is just beyond my wildest dream. One small kid from Msia that just wanted to collect their jersey is now finally going to Old Trafford, hahaha seriously my lifelong dream is finally coming true.. Tears will definitely come when i am there and i wont be ashamed one bit, i support from the heart baby! Theater of Dreams, here i come this November!

On Fire

BOLTON 0

MAN.UNITED 5

Scoreline says it all, Manchester United is in no mercy mood! Back to winning ways after the international week and to think of big teams having fatigue by sending 3 quarter of the side out, we'd all be mistaken. Man United superb start to the league continued with a 5-0 trashing of Bolton at the Reebok stadium. As their fine form continues, it was pretty hard to choose the man of the match as well. There could have been Rooney who scored a second consecutive hat-ricks, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez first start of the season with 2goals and the man i call Beast or the Monster Phil Jones provided 2 assist and played brilliantly in an out of position defense.

My pick goes out to Phil Jones, he has been solid since the first match he played for Manchester United, and yesterday was no different. His ability in tracking opponents runs, recovering from missed time tackles and closing down was outstanding. His solid defensive performance last night proves his versatility around the back four, that would mean a complete player! He's 19, ONLY 19, but he plays like he's 30, his big physical build allowed him to push attackers aside, out jump many strikers in the air too. Not only defensively solid, he provided 2 assist last night, one from the right flank crossed in for an easy tap in to Rooney and the other bombing down the right to the box with some slick footwork for a defender. It was unfortunate not to score, but as a defender you take an assist like its a goal =) Like i said before in my previous post, 16mil pounds is a steal! We are looking at fantastic 15years ahead of him!

After all the speculations of David De Gea might be a flop / not proven / ain't good enough / ain't strong enough, all i gotta say is piss off and shut up! He may not have many saves to make last night but there was no shaky moments throughout the match as many thought he is gonna have a hard time facing this physical Bolton side. A first half great save from Klasnic shows his agility, good strong double hand save and got back up almost instantly waiting for another save to make. Lets face it, he made a few mistakes and no keepers will go through careers without them, keep in mind he's 19 and he is in one of the BIGGEST club in the world, i;d say Biggest ;) Lol.. But to be the best, you gotta play every game and prove critics wrong no matter how tough the opponents are and how much the opponents could expose your weaknesses, and with another clean sheet he's gonna prove to be the keeper to replace Edwin.

Other great news came was the first start of Chicharito this campaign, after an injury suffered in the pre-season Sir Alex took his time to bring him back into action and last night proved how good of a player he is! Amazing first goal, typical fox in a box goal as i would like to call it, zig zag passed Gary Cahill effortlessly and slotted in a fine cross from Nani. Almost got a hat-trick in the latter stages of the second half too, this proves the combination of him and Rooney, definitely the first choice attacking pairing in the squad. A brilliant spirit between these two, which means they will always be effective.

Next weekend home game against Chelsea, undoubtedly our fiercest rival for the title, don't be surprise if the margin of goals are more than 3, with the form United is having, you can bet anything is possible. Wayne Rooney & Chicharito in my prediction to rape them with a 3-0 scoreline! Come on Devils!!

Unstoppable Duo

I ain't kidding! That's the final score from last night English Premiership fixture, truth to be told i was expecting at least 3 goals margin, but 8-2 or 6 goals margin is just beyond madness. Reason why i thought it would be a walkover simply because Arsenal has a very depleted squad this time around. They sold Cesc Fabregas last week and Samir Nasri left the club for Man City about the same time too, both their best players and that's not the end of them, they were missing Gervinho, Sagna, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Wilshere, Diaby, Song from either suspension or injuries. When they announced the line up, i was thinking we definitely have to score at least 4goals, cause the squad they put up was seriously SHIT!

Take nothing away from the Manchester United squad, we put up the same squad that beat Spurs last week, also the 2nd youngest squad Sir Alex ever put up in the Premier League history. Strangely, United fielded a side that average age of 23, younger than that chosen by Arsene Wenger with an average of 23.6. And yet it was our "boys" that looked to have grown up, displaying a level of maturity and team unity. It showed how much talent this group of kids has when we have Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-Sung, Rio Ferdinand, Berbatov on the bench. Only down side of the match is we witnessed the withdrawal of young Danny Welbeck through hamstring injury which reported to estimate of 5weeks on the sidelines. It comes no better timing that one of the Old Trafford favourite "Chicharito" is back! He came on replacing looking sharper and sharper, layed off a few good balls and could even had a chance to score but maybe lack of match sharpness did show a bit. Nonetheless great to see him back on the field, we all miss you!! :)

Wayne Rooney scored a hatrick last night, all from set pieces, finally we found a solution after David Beckham left us. It's great to finally see him firing all cylinder, playing with a smile on his face, and most noticeable is when we were up 3-0 or 4-1 whatever the result was, we still see him chasing 30-40yards back to aid the midfield and attempt to win the ball. Such dedication and willingness gives me strong indications that the issues he had starting of last season have been well put to bed, you're a champion Rooney! Another impressive performance from Phil Jones, nothing much to say except you're an exceptional young talent, playing well above your age. David De Gea is slowly learning and impressing as well, saving a penalty regardless if its a weak one from Van Persie, who knows what might happen if he scored and made it 1-1. I am happy you are in between our sticks and know the facts he will come good, so lets all be patient while he learn more English and the culture of the club/city and English football =) Ashley Young the other new signing is producing the goods so early in his United career, already assisting the team in many ways and 2 goals from him last night, both beautiful taken goals. Already becoming one of the top performer this year, excellent mate!

The picture says it all @ Arsenal Bench

Frankly a lot more can be said after what we witnessed last night. Do i pity Arsenal? Hell no, if it was the other way round, we would be getting shit from the whole world, no one cares who played and what happened to the team except the final score. 2 days left before the transfer window closes, i don't see many deals happening for them and the rate they're going i have a feeling they might finish just above top 10. As for United, they continue their winning start of the season, and will be looking to maintain such rich form as they look to hold off greater threats from other close rivals. Cross my fingers this coming international break no injuries on any United players! Glory Glory the Red Devils!

PS: Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims =) Enjoy the holidays!

I Like It, But.....

2011-08-25T06:36:00.000-07:00

I don't need it!

Ever suffered such dilemmas? Of course you do lol, no humans will go through this world not having this problems. There are so many if's in our lives, and when you aren't born rich, strike a lottery, inherited a chunk load of money, you tend to suffer such problems!

Lately i have so many things i want! Mostly gadgets? Lol! That's normal for guys, and as for girls probably handbags and shoes, but only difference is the guys usually end up not buying it but the girls will almost guarantee get it! (YEP my girlfriend is one of those "girls") LOL =P So to share what i really want, here are just a few things i would like to have but kinda not need it =)

1. BEATS by Dr. Dre Headphones

I have not tried this babies on but base on reviews, its freaaaaaaking awesome?! A close friend of mine has one, he said its really good. Well it's hellllllla expensive in M'sia, this headset would cost me RM1299 and its only around US229 if i am not wrong, but my gf can get this for Eur149. But really...do i need one? Its useful if you travel a lot besides i don't use public transport, so other than that i can picture it lying on the floor -______-

2. iPhone4

I must admit, this is something i kinda need but is iPhone 4 what i really want. I am currently using the ancient iPhone 3G (2years+ old) It has multiple problems, probably from how i treat the phone lately, but i am a very boring person with a phone. I just need 3 things to work properly, Dial /Sms / Whatsapp which works well currently. So there are a few things that goes through my mind, should i wait for the next iPhone, the latest Blackberry bold 9900 touch, or Samsung Galaxy S2? I have not made up my mind, but currently none because i am saving for my Europe trip coming in November!

3. Brand new computer

Yes another gadget! Surprised? Lol, anyway there is nothing wrong with my current pc. It's about 4years old now i think, but with technology moving so fast these days, my computer specs is probably shit right now. When i quit gaming 4years back, i never really had an idea of buying a good high specs com cause all i do with it is surf and chat. But since Diablo 3 is coming out at the end of the year (It's probably the only game i'll start playing for fun) I kinda need a better n faster pc to run it, so someone rich please donate me some funds? :D

4. Superdry (T-Shirts / Shirts / Jeans / Pants / Hoodies)

It's really funny that i never heard of this brand til last September? My girlfriend bought some t-shirts online, and decided to get me one. So when i first saw it, i went hmm okay just another normal shirt, but after wearing it i felt the material is really comfortable. Then as i asked more about the brand, i notice a lot of celebrity wears this, and i like the fact it isn't that expensive (not in KL) They have hundreds of designs and i own about 15-18 items of it now (including jeans/shirts and pants) Every time i see something nice online, then i look at my closet and go DO I REALLY NEED anymore clothing?!?! Zzzz i know my girlfriend would say there's never enough... LoL

5. Man United Kits 2011/2012

Last but not least.. Yes Manchester United kits! My girlfriend probably heard this a million times that i wont want it, its waste of money (not because i have a lot of jersey but the only different between this year kit and last year is the collar) But i am such a huge fan that i always want their new kits regardless how ugly or different. Since young i have always wanted to collect their jersey but yeah i don't work last time and since i started work few years back i have been collecting =) This year will be no different, i will probably grab the away kit and maybe even the goalkeeper kit when i am in Manchester, hehe =D Do i need it? Nope but i certainly want it!

Ahhh God let me strike a lottery someday :( I'll be good.......

Rio Ferdinand Video Diary Volume 1

2011-08-19T02:38:00.000-07:00

I have been following Rio Ferdinand on twitter a while now and he was doing his own video shoot in Manchester United's pre-season tour in the USA. Here is Volume 1 of part 1 and 2 so far, it's pretty interesting to see what footballers do in their spare time and there were some really hilarious part when you see foreigners try to speak English. He pretty much featured most of the first team players, especially Rooney, Nani, Da Silva twins..they really don't separate much, haha <3

Alright here it is, enjoy!! :)

Stay tuned for Volume 2 :)

Football is coming back :)

2011-08-08T05:28:00.000-07:00

The nerd me is out! Now my weekends wont be that boring anymore even when i don't do anything, hehehe!! As long as there's football to watch, i'll be fine, especially when Manchester United plays. So it's been roughly 2months since the season ended, transfer window is still open til 31st August, so not all teams are completed but as far as i know Manchester United is about to close their cheque book this summer.

With that they have bought 3 amazing talented players, 2 really young ones and 1 26years old. Lets start off with the oldest signing 26 years old winger Ashley Young.

His best position would be attacking right / left wing, and looking at Man Utd's squad he is probably gonna be playing on the left most of the time. Everyone knows what Young can do, cross...cross and cross all day long, he has pace too something we lacked off since Ryan Giggs hit mid 30's. He was signed in an undisclosed fee, but from all the reports the fee is ranging from 18-20million pounds. Is he worth it? In my book pretty good buy, he can cross, create, shoot, pass, run and at the right age too! He has been playing premier league the past 4-5 years, so he knows the league in and out by now. Hopefully he lives up to his expectations, double digit assist would mean a good season =)

So moving on to the second signing, Phil Jones! 19 years old monster, plays center back also operates well in the defensive midfielder position, and with a bonus he could play right/left back defending too!

Wearing the No.4 jersey that was once famously worn by captain Steve Bruce in the 90's. At age 19 he is already on everyone's buy list in the summer, he did not think twice on which club to join, smart boy! =) Of course it comes with a expensive price tag at 16million pounds, legends and past England players have already made a prediction that he will end up captaining the national team someday or maybe even Manchester United. I call him a monster just base on how powerful he is, he is HUGE for 19 years old, and from what i see in pre-season and the community shield he has the potential to be the worlds best defender someday. With the guidance of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand now, only time will tell how GREAT he will be in the future. Sir Alex has already labelled him as one of the main starters in the team this season, that's how highly rated he is. He is making waves like what Wayne Rooney did when he first joined us at 18/19years old. Oh yeah just another thing to add, my next United jersey i will be putting Phil Jones name, first ever defender name =) hehe that's how much i like this guy!!

Last but not least, David De Gea 20 years old replacing the infamous retired Edwin Van Der Sar. One of the Spanish wonder kids, freshly winning the under 21 European cup with Spain, he is definitely one of the most important signing we needed this summer.

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted his mistake by not signing Edwin Van Der Sar when Peter Schmeichel retired, the goalkeeping position gave us so much problems we ended up buying about 6-7 keepers before finally landing Edwin! So this summer, i am pretty sure there were a few names thrown into the position but he looked no further but at David De Gea! Very young, very good agility, 3years experience in Spanish league, won a couple of big trophies in his time at Atl.Madrid too. He will surely be the No.1 keeper for Spain when Iker Casillas retires in future. Bought him at 17.5million Euros, wearing the number 1 jersey now, hopefully he shows his true potential once the league starts! He had a shaky first half at the community shield, but came out at the 2nd half flying and diving making a few good saves. If he does well on his debut season, i am pretty sure we will end up winning a silverware! Simply one of the best goalkeepers around even at his age, love this piece of transfer done by United!

Overall a great season break for us, the pre-season looked good in America plus now winning the community shield, first silverware in the bag! All the transfers look very promising and good, only down side to this season is that we will no longer be seeing Paul Scholes, Gary Neville & Edwin Van Der Sar in the line up, but there's a bunch of young kids climbing up the ranks now, the future looks bright for United =) Premier League games will be starting this coming Saturday, United will be kicking off on Sunday! Hopefully we start off with a win and go on to win the 20th League title and rub more salt into Liverpools face =)) GO RED DEVILS!!!!

New players, Same Old Spirit!

MAN.UTD 3 - 2 MAN.CITY

2011/2012 Football season officially starts! My beloved Manchester United starts the season with a bang by beating the noisy neighbors Manchester City! We were 0-2 down in half time and went on to score 3 goals in the 2nd half, what an amazing second goal it was too, even Barcelona squad would be proud of that. Fair play to the kids that came on, they changed the game especially Tom Cleverly, Phil Jones, and the 2 starters from Danny Welbeck & Chris Smalling! Even though it doesn't mean much to win the Community Shield, but trust me you do not wanna start the season by losing plus even worse to your rivals. I bet the Man City captain did not go in the locker room after the game and say "it's okay lads, let it slide, that cup don't mean anything!"

Anyway, i'm super delighted we came back to win it and lets hope this is just the start of something special =))

Good bye & Thank you Paul Scholes

2011-08-05T22:25:00.001-07:00

Last night's testimonial match was the final game we'll ever see Paul Scholes in a Manchester United kit ;( In 2010 he once said ""I try to ignore the plaudits. It is nice for people to say positive things but I just put it to one side and concentrate on the next game."

The man that never seeks the limelight, quiet but masterclass at what he does best, play football! His debut came on 1994 League Cup, even scored twice to go on and win the match. Fast forward to 2011, he finally hangs up his boot. Making a whooping 466 League appearances 102 goals, and 130 European appearances 26 goals. Truly one of the best midfielder to ever played in Manchester United or not in world football. I still remember watching him as a kid, love love him! Really sad to see you retire but the day will come for all to call it a day.

Just some words from other greats about Scholes :)

-Xavi: Scholes is the best CM I seen in the last 15 - 20 years,If he'd been Spanish he might have been rated more highly.

-Zinedine Zidane: My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester united. He is the complete midfielder.

-Edgar Davids: ""Every one of us (midfielders) is just trying to become as good as him. Everyone can learn from Paul Scholes, I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is. We can all learn from Paul Scholes.”

Ryan Giggs: "I have played with some great players during my time at United but I would have to put Paul Scholes down as the best.”

-Thierry Henry: "I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'."

-David Beckham: Among his teammates at Real Madrid, which included Zinedine Zidane, Raúl, Ronaldo, Luís Figo and Roberto Carlos, Scholes was the most admired opponent : "He's always one of those people others talk about. Even playing at Real Madrid, the players always say to me 'what's he like'? They respect him as a footballer.

Pep Guardiola: "Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes – he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would have loved to have played alongside him."

Sir Alex Ferguson: "He's one of the great players to come through the ranks here."

Thank you again Paul Scholes, you'll be missed LEGEND!!! <3!

Now that she's gone...

2011-07-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

It's been almost 4 full days since my girlfriend has left me(back to Amsterdam), the feeling still hasn't sunken in just yet. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks before i can get back on to my normal daily routine when she's not around. Obviously if you know me as a person i don't do a lot except eat, work, internet, gym, eat and sleep. But the part where i can't stop is keep thinking about what we could be doing right now, what we did last week, and the constant thought about her..Going through some pictures we took while she was here, going through music that relive back the memory.

So from my previous post, i did state we were celebrating our 5th year anniversary. It was a pretty short day as i only got to see her around 4plus in the evening and by the time we got back home it's nearly almost 6pm. I din't plan much as she wasn't alone for this trip, so we just did a dinner and round it off with Transformers 3 the movie at Gardens Midvalley. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie, especially the company of us being together was just awesome. Can't wait to celebrate our 6th next year and i am pretty sure next time around it will be much much more exciting! =))

Sometimes i can't even believe 2months flew by just like that, i know part of the reasons is because she wasn't in KL much, we were barely together for only 2weeks plus a couple of days at Racha Phuket. Saddest part would be we din't have much time together alone, i couldn't be selfish as i knew this trip wasn't all about us. They (Miek her best friend) planned this backpacking trip for months ago, so probably that's why sometimes i feel it wasn't long enough :( But there is never enough when it comes to us..I learnt that when she stayed with me for 8months during the internship year. But life goes on...we knew that day would come and it never fails to hurt.

The final few days flew by really quickly, she was busy trying to eat all the Malaysian food she could possibly get, catching up with a few family members, and next thing you know we were at the airport. But we did party pretty hard the 2nd last day, we went to Phuture, Zouk in KL! Here are just some of the crazy shots we took..

It was a great night, drank enough, someone got wasted, no road blocks and rounded it off at mamak for supper!

Well now that shes gone, i have to refocus on work again. I really need to start working hard to save and get my ass over there! I miss Amsterdam so much, can't believe its been almost 3 years. Hopefully everything goes according to plan, i will be there before the year ends =) Time will fly and i hope it goes by quick, i can't wait to be in your arms again. Thank you once more for everything!! You the best baby! ♥ ♥ ♥

05-Years

2011-06-06T11:13:00.000-07:00

July 03 2006

I remember this day like it was yesterday, from the text message in the noon right up to shutting my eyes in the night. We were shy at the beginning, hands sweating, heat piercing through my shirt, words stuttering, but it was like love at first sight.

Truth to be told not many people know our history, believe it or not i have known her for 9 years. Shocking huh ? Maybe thats how easy we could click right from the get go, we were playing, joking, fighting, teasing in the first month like we were dating for 2-3 years. But it wasn't easy at all, people doubted me, long distance relationship, all kinds of questions were popping in peoples mind. So what do i do? Absolutely nothing, just be myself and treat this beautiful girl the way i am suppose to.

Obviously there were many up and downs especially the first year being apart, we were young me being 22 and she being 18. I spend so much money in the first year on my telephone bills i can still remember the scream n shit i got from my mom, likewise for her part. Sometimes to think back how the hell we manage to be apart for 12months is just miracle. I am sure everyone that had been in a relationship knows how much "LOVE" there is during the first month, and imagine it get taken away for a year?!?! I teared..cried..laugh..frustrated..stress..more crying so much in that year, it was a struggle. But we manage to pull it through, thank god for that. I still believe that was the key to how our relationship lasted this long. We had to believe it could work and most importantly trust one another.

Fast forward to year 2011, our 5th year anniversary!! This is going to be the 3rd time we're celebrating it, super excited to be with her on this day but i am just plain happy i will be with her. Last i saw her was on May 17th 2011 for barely 11 hours before i had to send her to the airport again for another holiday. Been apart for about 7months before this, so you can imagine how badly i miss my girlfriend.. I am just 2weeks away from seeing her again, unfortunately i wont be able to say where, why and how. All i can say is it will be a great holiday, 3nights 4days better not fly so fast!

In 5 years, we have traveled quite a bit. We have been to (in no particular order) Pulau Langkawi, Pulau Tioman, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang, Malapascua Island, The Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Island, Hamilton Island, Goldcoast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Macau, Amsterdam, Den Haag, Antwerp, Oberhausen, Manila, Melaka, Penang, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Pattaya, Koh Lipe, Sipadan, Mabul, Tawau, Singapore... one more to add in the list after 2weeks time =) That's quite a number of places in 5years, considering how LITTLE i travel before going out with her. Just so you know, i wasn't too keen on islands too, i hated the salt water plus i am not a very strong swimmer, so i have changed quite a bit in this couple of years...

The more i travel with her, the more excited i get to plan where to go next! Obviously being the guy, she Googles and plans most of the trip, i will just lay back and follow her lead =) There are so many other places i wanna go with her, slowly but surely we will make it happen. So apart from traveling, she taught me loads of things. I have changed much more as a person, to be more polite, to think before act, to be as honest i can, to value life more, to be more adventurous, to be less anti social, to be challenging, to be braver, to be able to count on something, and many other values of life. I am so grateful to have met such a person, and never one day i have regret jumping on this ship with her.

Life is tough being apart for so many months, sometimes when i am not having the best day, you have no idea how much i needed her around. "Just a hug" "Just a minute" "Just a kiss" Is all i wished for, but thats how we grow stronger and stronger as a couple. It's been 5 years now, one thing has not changed.. The butterflies flying in tummy whenever i pick or meet her in the airport, its almost like falling in love again. I can never get bored of that feeling, thinking about it gets me goosebumps! Writing this right now, i am just 8 days away from seeing her again...Ahh can't wait to get a hug from her =)

I may not be the most romantic guy around, but i always try to be. Surprises are always much better than an expensive bag or shoe, so far over the years i have managed to pull a couple of great surprises! I have cherish so many great memories over the past, hopefully this year will be just as good or better than the rest.

Just before i end my entry, i created my so called masterpiece of us hehehe.. I did it before 3years back, and here we go again.. A new one with many more new pictures, there were no duplicates and trust me there were a whole lot more i did not use. Thats how much she loves taking picture haha, maybe im just too hot =p Alright enough nonsense, I love you babygirl, i miss you and i can't wait to see you! BIG KISS and when the date comes..

Happy 5th Anniversary, Ik hou van jou ♥ !

Barcelona Champs League 2010/2011

2011-05-28T21:38:00.000-07:00

Was it shocking to me? Did it surprised me? Was it humiliating to lose 3-1 in a final?

No would be the answer, if you were means you don't know much about football and definitely don't know how Barcelona team plays. There were no second guessing on how they will approach the final, pass, pass and keep passing, hold for possession, move when you are off the ball, hold some more and finally drill a diagonal or a straight direct through ball to beat the defenders on the run. Everyone knows how they play, but its how you stop it, can anyone do it? I have no idea, maybe you gotta play real dirty in order to do so. We are talking about the world best players in a team, Xavi the midfield maestro, a guy i often say have 3brains and 6eyes with the ball. Iniesta the baby looking heart breaker of a football match (ask Netherland & Chelsea) and not forgetting Lionel Messi who isn't human. Then there are 8 other players who can walk into any team in the world, so its a huge task to beat them. Obviously every team can be beaten, they lost a few games this year, but if they manage to play anything above 70% of their game, you are doomed and yesterday i rated them at 99% and thats because they conceded a goal to United.

Consolation prize for United is at least we turned up this year, compared to the final 2 years back (we lost 0-2) I honestly cant blame any players performance last night, i am sure there were a few who dint manage to play at their best, to name a few like Evra, Carrick, Valencia, Chicharito. But sometimes you need the ball to play well, in terms of statistics i think the average possession of the ball was about 70-30%, shots were about 17 to 3 or something in that range. You can't really focus too much at stats when you are up against this Barca team, most importantly is take chances if you get any. Wayne Rooney certainly did it, 1 shot on target and a goal! So to point fingers who suck on the night is just plain brutal. We have seen the best players and teams tried to mark them, and still find no answer. Netherlands tried 2 defensive midfielder (Van Bommel & Nigel De Jong), Germany tried (Bastian Schweinsteiger & Khedira) Real Madrid tried 5 times (manage to only win once) with some of the best players in the world (Xabi Alonso, Khedira, Diarra, Pepe, Sergio Ramos) not forgetting best tactical coach Jose Mourinho on their side too.

So another season comes to an end.. Overall i believe we did a great job on winning the league (one of the hardest in years) clinched the no.19 to be head and shoulder above the rest is a monumental achievement, so well done guys for that. To be so close in the FA Cup final & Losing in the final of the Champions League is just heart breaking. The squad isn't complete, hopefully and i believe we will sign a few key players for the 2011/2012 campaign we will come back stronger, faster, hungrier, focus ever. It wasn't the fitting end for all United fans, but congratulations once again to the Barcelona FC team, and many thanks to the whole Manchester United squad including the staffs and coaches for such a wonderful season! Never in my expectations thought we will be in the final at the start of the season.

Manchester United fan til i die.

Celebration Day

2011-05-23T03:04:00.000-07:00

That picture says it all! The day all United fans have been waiting for, knocking Liverpool off their perch. None better way to celebrate it than lifting the trophy in Old Trafford, The Theater Of Dreams! So once again, many congratulations to the whole club!

Big thank you to our number one, Edwin Van Der Sar! One of the great goalkeeper to ever played the sport! Hopefully this coming Saturday you will lift another trophy!!

Some of the dressing room photos..

Manchester United biggest football club in the world! Now let's win the European Champions League for the 4th time in history!!

MANCHESTER UNITED, LEAGUE CHAMPIONS NO.19

2011-05-14T12:00:00.000-07:00

Where do i start.........Let me see, ok i know!

SUCK IT LIVERPOOL, SUCK SUCK SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

"In '94, You said come back when it's 18! Well here we are sat on your perch!"

What an achievement by Sir Alex Ferguson, when he arrived at United from Aberdeen in 1986, his goal was simple "To win that first title", the aim was to match Liverpool's performance and league record, and to be successful ourselves. Mission well and truly accomplished, I salute you Sir Alex Ferguson, simply the best manager of all time. I am honestly lost for words, beyond my craziest dream.

You bow to no one Sir.

Many people calls this the weakest Man United squad to ever win the title, are they for real? How this people come out with statement baffles me, we may not have the BEST squad in terms of all stars, but hell we have SPIRIT, HEART, DETERMINATION, HUNGER, PRIDE & BELIEVE! Something no money in the world can buy, United class of 2010/2011 has proved their doubters - wrong.

While Chelsea signed the likes of David Luiz, Ramires, Fernando Torres for around 90Million Pounds, Man City signed the likes of Balotelli, Dzeko, Silva, Yaya, Kolarov, for over 100Million Pounds and even Liverpool signing the likes of Andy Carrol & Luis Suarez for over 55Million Pounds, the two signings of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez and Chris Smalling for around 16Million Pounds have proved the most successful. It's incredible to think of how amazing the little pea has done on his debut season, a young kid all the way from Mexico had no experience of European football came and scored 20goals (all competitions) from only 26starting appearances. He is without doubt the signing of season or not the decade, he among a few others will be the future of this fantastic club!

Special shout out to a few outstanding performers this season, Dimitar Berbatov for one, top scorer of the league at 21goals has done brilliantly despite losing his place to Chicharito in the last few months of season. No one will forget his amazing hatrick against Liverpool, the 5goals against Blackburn, a few dying equalizing goals, his contribution has been vital and i for one believed he has repaid every single penny of the 30million spent 3seasons ago.

Our No.1 Edwin Van Der Sar, oh how dearly much we will miss you! The flying Dutchman announced his retirement earlier this year, however the last action of him at Old Trafford will likely be lifting the Barclay Premier League high for the 4th time in his United career. There will be no better fitting way to end his career by lifting the European Champions League on the May 28th, i really hope we can do it! There were several pleads around the world to encourage Edwin to stay another year, but highly unlikely that will happen :( VDS you will be missed!

Nani! to me player of the season, often regard as the failed Cristiano Ronaldo, but truth to be told they are both different kind of players. With Valencia out 3quaters of the year, he has single handedly assisting/creating 18 and scoring a total of 9goals. Brilliant job!

Nemanja Vidic, our captain fantastic! Often without his partner Rio Ferdinand this term, partner with the likes of O'shea, Smalling, Evans and still able to do his job right! Arguably the best defender in the world, not forgetting a very good attacker in set-piece attack too. Scored a few vital goals, Aston Villa.. Chelsea are just a few to mention. In my mind should have won the player of the season in the League.

Finally not to forget Giggs, Scholes, Oshea, Da Silva twins, Park, Evra, Carrick and the others, marvelous effort! Special congratulations to Mr Legend Ryan Giggs, 12 league title medals, and still tearing defenders at 38years old! Unbelievable guys, this is what make us such a great team. We're not a star studded team, but a true talented one.

Now that the league season is almost over (left 1more game, which does not matter if we win or lose) We now left the European Champions League final to think about, the biggest cup match for football clubs. Our opponents, Barcelona...again, just 2 years back they murdered us in Rome (2-0) I remember watching the match while i was on holiday in Hong Kong, i was dead quiet not because there weren't people cheering for United but the team did not show up on the pitch. So lets pray this time we get it right!

To conclude this special write up of us clinching the 19th, i will end it from continuing the start. For me this has to given full credit to Sir Alex Ferguson, the man at the helm for our club, the man players don't want to disappoint. The players have done him proud, not only this group of squad, but whomever that has played under him. It has been a real team effort, every player played their part, he has installed the never say die attitude in each and everyone of them, and the players carries it out to the pitch. We never give in, never give up, and this is what makes Manchester United, and that is why i love this club. MUFC FOR LIFE.

Gordon Ramsay - Shark Bait

2011-01-27T09:12:00.000-08:00

Just 2weeks ago, Gordon Ramsay for the very first time gone on to investigate the multi billionaire trade in Shark Fining. After watching this 4 short part clips of the episode, i have so much respect for this man. Sacrificing himself in so much danger just to dig deeper into this illegal business around the world.

During the investigation, Gordon was seen getting poured gasoline all over, and apparently held gun point by unknown gangsters/mafia's. After filming the episode, Gordon was asked to leave the country as there were mafia's out there wouldn't hesitate to shoot him.

I shall share the videos posted on YouTube and much respect to you Gordon! Thumbs Up! I hope more people stops ordering this dish after watching this video.

* This is all for that one dish, that shark fin soup, it's honestly right now starting to make me feel fucking sick, it's relentless.

* No bowl of soup is worth that.

* Leave them alone, and respect their beauty.

Shark fin #2

2011-01-21T09:16:00.001-08:00

Yes i did say i won't be posting anymore entry, but just want some of you who comes across my blog to view this truly heartbreaking video. I teared, my heart stopped, and wonders how can people go on life after doing all this.

fuck you bastards i hope someone cuts you or family's hand and legs and leave them bleeding to death :)

NO to Shark Finning

2010-12-29T10:59:00.000-08:00

YES follow me and say NO to shark finning!

For once i am covering a very serious topic in my "blog" Probably my last ever entry because i would want this to be on top whenever people bump into this site. I am not gonna lie, i have tasted and eaten shark fin soup before. Mostly in wedding banquets and of course Chinese restaurants, but i always had this belief, which is "If i don't order them, i can eat 'em, and if it's dead already, why waste their life by not eating it?" That was then, and slowly i grew older and started watching and learning more about sharks. What do we really know about them?

Since young, i was always afraid of the ocean, and most of us got that influence from the movie "JAWS" The movie is still circulating peoples mind of how evil this creature is, it did play a big part of my childhood life of not liking the ocean. The taught of them biting a big chunk of your arms or legs aren't a pretty sight. But what changed my mind? I grew older and i learn more knowledge about sharks. Even before i started diving, i always wanted to see them, and it never crosses my mind i will be bitten, and finally i saw them when i was snorkeling in Perhentian island Malaysia. For the very first time, i fell in love with a fish, a smooth swimming black tip shark swimming peacefully around the big ocean. From the second i went back up the boat, my perspective of sharks changed entirely. I was like a kid in a toy store, happily telling my baby how big it was, how gracious it swam, how beautiful it was (She was bleeding therefore she did not snorkel) Finally i could say i swam with sharks and it did not bite me. After that experience i started googling / researching more about sharks, from different species, names, shapes, places you can spot them. Up to date, I've dived 60 times, and i never once fear i was gonna get bitten by a shark, instead i went looking for them, i remember sharks swimming besides me in Sipadan, one particular curiously swimming a few circles in Perhentian during my advance course. I slowly fell in love more and more, and everytime i was told there were sharks in the dive sites and when i don't see it, i feel bumped. My latest sensation was the thresher sharks in the Philippines,Malapascua island, oh god how amazing that experience was. The BEST by far (until the day i see a whale shark)

So what do we really know about sharks? I will try my best to share what i have learned about them.

For the very first, they are afraid of us, more so than we are afraid of them. They are also probably one of the oldest living thing on earth, estimating over 400million years ago, that means 150million years before dinosaurs existed. Sharks have been Gods for over 400million years, shaping this world for the entire history of life on land. I will go into that later below. Let me share some facts stats i have researched over the past few months:-

Shark kills - 5-10 people each year

Elephants / Tiger - 100 each year

Execution - 2,400 each year

Drugs - 22,000 each year

Road Accidents - 1.2million each year

Starvation - 8million each year

The fact is sharks do not eat people, if they did i would have been eaten, or many of my diving friends. Most cases when people dies from shark attack is because of blood lost and not being eaten by them. They explore human by biting, they have very bad eye sight, therefore they use their senses and smell most of the time, and being curious, they bite. Once they bite, they move along, knowing we are not part of their food, they leave us alone and not continue biting til they swallow us up. If they would want to, they could have done it straight away. It's very rare occasion sharks swim closely to humans, and so far i have only experience ONCE a shark swimming really close by, which was in Sipadan. There were many of them, so one or two will eventually swim pass you.. If i'm not mistaken 60-100 bite cases happen each year. Everyone wanna save elephants, pandas, bears, koalas, and the world are afraid of Sharks. If there were a group of lions or tigers around, you won't go out there for a run. BUT million of people still entering the water where shark hunts, mates, and very few people gets bitten or most places even none. Like i said before, if they wanna kill us, they would.

Once you see sharks in front of your eyes, you might change your mind, this are beautiful creatures. Now let me try to explain a bit on how i meant they reshape the life on land. 2/3 (two-thirds) of the worlds surface are water, and 80% of life on earth are from the ocean. To summarize, sharks controls the population in ocean, sharks keeps their preys from over populating. Example, sharks eats fish (dead or alive), and if they do not the fish that they feed on would become over populated and throw the whole ecosystem out of balance. Herbivores then might eat too much algae, and coral eaters might eat too much reefs, everything in the ocean must be in well balanced, and sharks do that for us. Believe it or not, sharks also do give us air to breathe, tiny plants in the oceans called phytoplankton absorb huge amounts of greenhouse gas and it produces 70% of the planets oxygen. Lots of fish eats phytoplankton, but as sharks are the top predators under the ocean, they keep the phytoplankton eating fishes under control, without them, once again the ecosystem is unbalanced. Someday when the fishes get over populated and starts eating all the phytoplankton, we will be pretty screwed. So life on earth evolves from the sea, sharks have managed to survive 5major extinctions, and truly our architect of the planet.

Now to the most important part my topic, Shark Finning. Shark fin soup is a symbol of wealth and a sign of respect, it has been around for ages and only recently the last 20years only it bloomed with popularity in most places especially in China. The fin is actually tasteless adding only texture to a soup flavour of chicken or pork's broth. People tends to think eating shark fin provides you good health or even better life just because sharks are strong, long lives, hard to die and never falls sick. If you are one of those people who comes across with "Then why do you eat Chicken, Pork, Deer, Sheep" all i gotta say is go fucking shoot your self, because you don't deserve to have brains. I don't even think i should explain to that mentality, its pure common sense in why its NOT something human need to avoid. For a very fast summarize video i have come across you can click and view the video below.

Estimated 30-70millions of sharks are killed each year. Nature created them for a reason, and now humans are killing them. They kill millions each year, doesn't matter if they are harmless, big, small, long, thin, good or bad, and like i said, we are destroying all food chains from the marine ecosystem and majority where oxygen comes from, so we should be more careful. Future generations will look at us, thinking we are fucking assholes the same as how we think of other kind of stunts they pulled off back then such as slavery? We drive species to extinctions, the worst fucking part is, we human know what we're doing, its fucking WRONG and yet we still do it, what sort of person does that make you feel? We have only been here for a few million years (im guessing) and the last 100 of years, we have done a significant impact on life of the ocean, but everyone of us has the power to change, we can make it better. People in the world aren't fighting to save sharks, but also fighting for life.

Just remember one quote i've learned, "When the buying stops, the killing stops too"

If you wanna learn more about sharks, you can also watch a movie/documentary called "Sharkwater" Hopefully after this post, i may be able to change a number of peoples mind set of ordering sharks fin. Even if its just One person, it's good enough =)

El Clásico

2010-11-30T00:28:00.000-08:00

I think it's time to update my blog. But i'm gonna do it real slow, i have lots to write.

1)Australia

2)Philippines

3)Perhentian

But before i do all that, i will start off by saying BARCELONA pwned REAL MADRID last night in this years El Clasico!!! 5-0 how amazing is that ?? I slept earlier last night just to wake and watch this match, oohhhh how lucky i did! It was pure entertaining from the first minute onwards where Lionel Messi hit the post in the early minutes, and then followed on by the first goal on the 11th minute and 2nd on 18th minute. The game was sort of over during half time, and when they extended their lead after half time, there was no coming back even from the special one Jose Mourinho.. This proves Barcelona is far more superior than Real or any team for that matter. I do not see any club comes close to their standard even from my beloved Manchester United team.

Their 1-2 direct passing game is so beautiful to watch, it look so effortless. Anyway i'm too lazy to continue! :P Hats of to you Pep Guardiola (Manager of Barcelona) for building this mean team, and if you don't already know. Hail the Messiah, Leo Messi, you are truly my football idol!

Xavi started the riot! 1-0

Ronaldo and Valdes going at it! The rivalry starts

Villa then sets up the 2nd goal, celebrating with Messi

Got himself on the score sheet, David Villa the new Catalan boy

and another.. :) 4-0

Youngster Jeffren made it 5-0

Being a sore loser Ramos kicks and slaps Barcelona players and get sent off

omg.com

2010-09-09T08:41:00.001-07:00

Don't have to watch the full clip, just watch til he finishes Lady Gaga - Bad Romance. I wish someone would slap him.

Ok while i am surfing loads and loads of X-Factor 2010's audition, i will post some of the really funny or worth watching ones here :D ENJOY!!

PLEASE WATCH THIS, OMG HAHAHAHAH I GOT BAD HICCUPS THANKS TO HER, A MUST WATCH I PROMISE YOU WILL HAVE AN INSTANT GOOD DAY.

Okay after all the fun and joys, lets end it with ... :)

There's afew more actually, but i think this are the really worth watching ones :) and god damn, Cheryl is super pretty. Best part of the X-Factor is the judges aren't as fucking lame as American Idol.

Night all, 3days to my baby hugss!

Holiday #1 Malapascua Island

2010-09-08T10:21:00.000-07:00

Malapascua Island, Philippines

In 6days time, i will be there!! It will be our first holiday, my crazy baby and i will be leaving a day after she lands in KL. The exact dates will be 14th > 21st September 2010, you wouldn't wanna know how much travelling we will be doing just to get here. I really hope the island is worth going!

So how did i found out about this island? We used to shop for dive gears in Scuba Dynamics (Desa Hartamas) Therefore we also left our email with them, and if there's any dive package, they will inform us through mail. So one fine day, i opened and they wrote something about this island, there is a very unique shark called Thresher Shark, the longest tail shark in the world. So i googled and damn.........i was stunned by how beautiful it looked. So we research further and found out the best season to go is during September, there will be tons of them in a special dive spot. But we gotta be there only at 6am daily, thats when they usually eat (not human, lol)

How beautiful is that, oh em gee. I can't wait to take my own shots of it!! Another famous fish they have there are the Manta Rays! Since i started diving, i fell in love with sting rays, and to meet a Manta would be also another dream come true..

Gosh, i love underwater. Hahaha, so besides the diving, i've seen pictures and videos, the island don't look too bad itself. White sandy shore with clear water, hopefully the weather is hot and sunny. This is actually my advanced birthday gift from my baby, she booked the accommodations, so i'm not entirely sure where we're staying, lol. But a big thank you babygirl :) !! MUAHHHH!!

I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

A short Great Barrier Reef video

2010-09-04T03:36:00.000-07:00

The Great Barrier Reef

2010-09-02T09:48:00.000-07:00

"The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system.
Made up of around 3,000 individual reefs and over 900 islands,
it stretches for more than 1,600 miles, and like The Grand Canyon, it can't be shown in a few photographs. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms."

No words could express how unbelievable this place is. It's part of the "Seven Wonders of the Underwater World" Not surprised at all! I will be here from the October 15th > 19th October, just me and my girlfriend :) It was like my dream to come here even before i started diving, so to finally come here its so surreal. I've researched quite a lot of this place, and the way they make diving sound in this place, its really hard to believe. You could see anything in there, from sharks, rare fishes and even whales!! I am praying the weather to be SUNNY everyday, so i could get the clearest visibility of the water as deep as possible!

Besides diving there are plenty of other activities to do as well, such as:-

Sea Kayaking
Sailing
Ocean Rafting
Day trips to many other islands such as Whitehaven Beach

Many many more, i just couldn't be bothered writing all of them down hahaha! I am just super excited for it, hopefully i have enough money to spend there :( Our accommodation has been booked, we will be staying at Airlie Apartments.

Looks great yeh? We get a whole apartment to ourselves and at a very decent price! The reviews of the apartments are all great, i am looking forward to see how nice and clean it is :) If i am not mistaken this is located at Airlie Beach, the boat to Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Beach is just a couple of minutes away.

So thats it! :) I can't wait to post my OWN photos of this amazing place !

I'm already in a holiday mood =D~~ !!

Holiday #2

2010-08-31T12:06:00.000-07:00

PERHENTIAN ISLAND 23rd September - 29th September 2010

What more can i say about this little paradise? My second home? I wish... I heard so much about this island before i went there last year February 2009. I wasn't really an island lover before this, until that trip with my girlfriend. Plus she's a real hardcore beach lover, so she sort of play a role into getting me loving islands. If you have not been there, what the hell are you waiting for? Some island you gotta spend x2 or even x5 more than this and you might not even get whatever you googled for. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful quality time, this is the place to be.

I can still remember quite clearly the first trip we made there together, we got burned like mad bitches. I had pink lips and a nose so red you could tell from miles away, and my girlfriend was so dark and burnt that the top part of her lips looked like fine hairs haha !! In fact it was dry skin, we both look like idiots. Worst part was i had to work the next day we reach in KL, all my customers and colleagues was freaking laughing at me -______- Pink lips + Red nose skin peeling the way to go! We have learn our lessons and from that trip onwards, we knew which SPF lotion to get and etc..

So moving along to this trip! 6nights 7days, most of you probably think what the hell we're gonna do for so long. Hmm there are plenty we have not discovered yet, like going to the Party beach aka. Long beach (Small island), Jungle tracking, and other part of the Big islands. We will definitely do everything this time, and not forgetting my favorite hobby now, Scuba Diving!! I can never get bored of the sea here, so much marine life, and the corals are beautiful. Shame on me, i accidentally bang and killed one my last visit! :( I was busy taking photos swimming backwards and BAM! Knock one hard coral and it broke like a finger long? Ouch....Oops hopefully it doesn't happened anymore.

I am about to hop to bed now, its been a long and pretty crap day for me. Hopefully everything resumes to normal soon, and my dream for this trip is to meet the whale shark, together with my baby, nothing can ever top that experience =)

Goldcoast (Part 2)

2010-08-30T10:59:00.000-07:00

Like i said previous entry, i will end my Goldcoast topic in this short entry. So the other place that we would be visiting will be Warner Bros Movie World !! What can i say? Every kids dream place to be, all your favourite cartoon / comic characters are walking around in parade, taking pictures with kids! From Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird , Batman and all their wonderful friends !!

So remember the roller coaster ride i posted earlier? Yep i did mention in the end i made a mistake, i thought it was at dream world, but actually its here!! It's called "Lethal Weapon" haha, i will surely sit on it if we do go... I am not sure if we have time to go all 3 places, we only have 2 nights, so most likely we gotta sacrifice one of it. Maybe Sea World :(

Looking at all this images just brings me back to my youth, i remember hugging batman and others while i was there lol :P If only Ninja Turtles were there haha i would probably faint, hahahaha!!

That probably it for our 3days adventure in Goldcoast, we will be staying at my cousins place in Brisbane on the 14th, then fly off to Great Barrier Reef on the 15th :) I can already imagine how beautiful that island will be, i can dare say it will be the best island i will ever be going up to date. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

HERE I COME Australia!! 1 month plus to goooooooooooooooooooo!

Fantasizing

2010-08-30T01:13:00.000-07:00

Now that i have resigned, i have so much more free time on my hands, what better way to spend it and fantasize on my upcoming holiday. I will start off with Goldcoast Australia, i haven't been there since i was 15, that's 11 years ago. O_o The only down part is that we're only spending 2 nights in Goldcoast, 12th-14th October and there are plenty of things to do there, just an example:-

1)Movie World

2)White Water World

3)Sea World

4)Dream World

5)Shopping

I'm usually not the biggest fan for shopping, but whenever you ask someone about Australian shopping, they will all say it's very cheap and there's so many factory outlets around, that makes it MUCH cheaper as well !! I've been to Australia a couple of times, and each time i go, definitely buy back some really great deals on clothes. So i'm very much excited for shopping too i would say, not just my baby :D

Goldcoast Australia, also known as The Surfers Paradise there.

Ok, Let's kick things off on where we're staying!! Thanks to my sister that lives in Melbourne, they always advertise promotions package for accommodation on TV or Newspaper. Therefore she text me and we quickly survey on the few hotels that were on promotions. We finally made up our mind on VIBE Hotel, it's a 4.5 star hotel!! Baby and i have been going to many trips together and we finally get to stay in a high class hotel for once! HEHEHE

Enjoy stunning views over the Nerang River or the ocean from our Aqua View room, only minutes from the beaches and shops, you will love the location.

How can you say no to that ? Plus we got it at an amazing price thanks to my sister :) So moving along, apart from our lovely accommodation, we will go to Movie World and Sea World. I am not so keen on White water world as we have beaches along the hotels and we'll be going Great Barrier Reef later on. If we still have time i would love to go Dream World tho, the rides they have in that amusement park is epic! I once sat a roller coaster leg hanging out and damn its scary! :P OK i have just stole some images from google and i have just decided WE ARE DEFINITELY going ! Check it out:-

i think this was the rollercoaster! Or maybe not.

"Giant Drop officially declared the tallest, vertical free fall ride in the world by guiness record book 1999 (Standing 199meters 39 storeys high)" Omg!! LOOL I am very very sure my baby still remembers the experience in Genting with me! " IMAGINE THAT x2 ?! This is the Australian Legend Trademark ride! HAHAHA!

They call this "Tower Of Terror" Oh man we're getting on this baby!! :D

and THIS!! "The Claw" Voted the BEST and Scariest RIDE EVER LOL!!

I can tell why now :/ LOL

But don't worry baby, i have also checked, they have kids rides too :D And i present you Spongbob Flypants HAHAHAHAHA! Classic.

and if that's not enough, they have Wild Life attraction to visit as well :)

The infamous Australian Koala Bears

Kangaroos :)

OMG that's just dream world, i have not even post Sea World & Movie World yet @___@!! I think i should write Movie world in another entry. Lets move on to Sea world, its pretty standard and we all know what they will have:-

1)Snorkeling with sharks

2)Polar Bears

3)Big Aquarium with sharks , rays in it.

4)Dolphin shows

5)Penguins

It sounds pretty boring, but i love polar bears and penguins. They are just so adorable, and since i have dived with sharks and all in the real sea, this kinda attractions dont really excite me anymore :P

I am very sure you're allowed to swim with dolphins too, but that might cost you quite a bit.

Since my baby has been longing to swim with them, we might just do it. Before i end my post, just a few pictures on the shopping outlets!!

Ahh GOD i can't wait! LOVE LOVE Goldcoast, will post Movie World entry next time :)

PS: Quick Update, the rollercoaster written on top is actually at Movie World! :) I found it, haha sorry for the wrong info ~

Official

2010-08-29T11:22:00.000-07:00

I have finally tender my resignation in CIMB, i have been with the bank for 2 years. I was in the mortgage loan department, and have learn so much in the 2 years i was there. Previously i was in real estate, and when customers asked me about bank loans and etc.. I had no idea what to answer except "i don't know much about loans, but i can assist you in finding a sales person to call you" -__- Sometimes my customers do have second thoughts on the house when they do not have faith in the property agent, plus i was hella young to be in that line, so that dint help very much at all :( That was how i decided to jump into the banking loan side, and now i kinda know the best of both worlds.

Made many new good and fun friends in my 2years there, and when it comes to flexibility of working hours, i have the best boss in the world for that. As long as you show the figure by end of the month, you can do whatever you want :) I am very bumped that i will be losing that flexible work hours, as i am those who hates fix job hours, sometimes i wonder how my friends or people does it.

So what are my future plans ? I should be going to another bank and hopefully do better than what i did in CIMB. I was suppose to join RHB with a friend of mine, but no promises on his side if they will accept me in Nov. I am taking the whole of October break, cause of my sisters wedding and my baby will be in KL, so i would love to dedicate all my time to her since we only have limited time together. Everything should be fine (my career) I hope? :D

I have to serve one month notice in the bank, therefore my final day is on the 26th September, i will be in Perhentian Island then :D:D !! I have this mad imagination, to work in the island, LOL ! Fuck city life, all the worries for money, traffic jams, paperworks, screw that for 1 year, and relax in the beach where time doesn't matter.. Maybe i should, haha =p

I am 26 this year, oh dear how the hell i end up so old. I was just 19 when i first knew my girlfriend, and no i did not date her when she was 15, haha. We started dating 3years later, that could be a huge reason why we're still together, we kinda knew each other really well, we spoke every night and i swear i mean every night, whether its through the internet, phone, text messages. We could argue and get mad even when we were just friends, that's pretty silly haha, but life has change.. i can't believe shes 22 this year too. We both have our own responsibility now, i wont lie, at times i hate it. The time difference doesn't help as usual, but i guess thats long distance relationship to you. But as long as we continue to trust and love one another, i don't see any issue =)

That's it for my random entry, Happy Merdeka all =)

English Premier League 2010/2011

2010-08-26T00:54:00.001-07:00

YES It's back!! Football season restarted 2 weeks ago, and Manchester United currently has 1 win 1 draw (4points in total) We dropped 2 points @ Fulham when we could have wrapped up the game if Nani converted the penalty when it was 2-1 scoreline. Unfortunately not long after the miss, Fulham came back to equalize and the game ended at 2-2 tie :(

Early in the season and we're behind the leaders Chelsea (reigning champions) with 2 wins in 2 games. They did not just win both their games but they tore apart the 2 teams they played, with both ended in 6-0 score line... -______- ! What a way to set the bar so early in the season..

The transfer window will be shut on the 31'st August, according to Sir Alex Ferguson latest interview, there won't be anymore signings this summer for the Red Devils. To be perfectly honest i am pretty upset we did not sign an Attacking Midfielder :( Hopefully this team is enough to challenge and regain the league title back to Manchester!!!!!!!!

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez has got off a good start by scoring in the Community Shield against Chelsea, but have not broken his duck in the league just yet. Only time will tell how great of a player he could turn out to be!

COME ON RED DEVILS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dedicate to you, my baby

2010-08-19T12:27:00.000-07:00

24days til i see your face, and there's not a thing i would change :)

I dedicate this song to you, ik mis jou heel veel.

and when you smile... :)

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

2010-08-19T00:14:00.000-07:00

Cruel or Simply Gorgeous? I have no idea, but if i had an opportunity to check it out, i would.

(this place is huge!)

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, is located at Okinawa Japan. It's the second largest Aquarium in the world behind Georgia's Aquarium in Atalanta. It is also the very few aquariums that keep Whale Sharks in captivity, but so far they are trying to breed them... 1 great thing i have read about this aquarium is that the birth of the first Manta Ray was born in 2007 and since then, they have 4 new manta's!

For more information you can visit their official page http://oki-churaumi.jp/en/index.html Hopefully someday i get to go there =) I'm still praying for the day i dive and meet a whale shark or manta rays.... aaaaaaahhhhh, *dreaming*

Hopefully soon, in my next trip Malapascua, Philippines =)

Perhentian August 9-12th (2010)

2010-08-12T10:51:00.002-07:00

3nights4days in my favourite island in the world, Pulau Perhentian. Do nothing but dive / stare at nothing / eat / enjoy the sound of wind and waves hitting the shore, just simply perfect. This trip has been so different from the last few i have been, firstly i went without my baby, secondly i also went with 6 people from Amsterdam and i do not know 3 of 'em (other 3 was my gf's close friends) thirdly, i dived pretty little and i did not expect to see much because this trip was all about learning to shoot underwater photos from my instructor, and last but not least we slept in a room that had no hot shower plus got disturbed everynight by cockroaches...(One even crawled on my neck while i was trying to sleep, can you imagine my reaction when i realized? Classic, period)

Anyway i wont be getting into that topic, something i would want to not remember for the rest of my life. Lets start off with congratulations to the new certified divers, Ying-Monique-Dillon-Xiufang! To be honest, i think they did way better than baby & i for the basic skills and first few dives. I am so happy that they enjoyed the same that we did with my coolest instructor ever Andy Lua! I did 5dives this trip, 4 of them was with them, and it wasn't the best dives because each dives i had to wait for 10-15mins underwater while they finish doing their basic skills, but i kept practicing my camera shots while waiting, and i'm proud to say i think i have learn a lot and done a very good job at almost all the pictures (Philippines, Malapascua! Here I come to shoot all the beautiful pictures!!!) I shot more humans than fishes this trip, LOL!! So there was a list of mission for my diving trip this time, 1) To dive at Sugar Wreck 2) To see Tripod the turtle @ Tokong Laut 3) Learn picture photography under water 4) Dive with my best instructor Andy 5) Enjoy my dives with the group that i went with. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, I manage to do all the mission in the list =))

I must say, seeing the tripod turtle with 3 legs was my highlight of this trip.. Eventhough this is a resident turtle, i know a dive master that been to Tokong Laut 50 times, and never seen it once =/ Dillon a friend from Amsterdam said when he saw the turtle, his felt like his heart had stopped and just got blown away how graceful it looked like swimming, eating and just going doing his own thing.. I must say i felt almost the same, he is just truly godsent turtle, hope to see him many more times the next trip in September with my baby!!

Well something crap hapened though, i lost my fucking mask for the 2nd time!!! First was at Tioman after a dive i took it off and did not realize i dropped it while i was swimming back to the boat. This time i lost it while the boat was slowing down to the dive site and i decided to rinse it, and bam the wave got the better of my fingers n it slipped :/ Thankfully my baby has another spare to borrow me for the time being, zzzzzz i hate myself!! I was pretty scared to ask her at first haha, i thought she would kill and kick my ass, but i'm guessing she will when i see her, lol! The weather this trip wasn't that great either, first 2 days was pretty cloudy, third day was pretty sunny but it wasn't the hot kind of sun, and of course every time when ur fun ends, on the last damn day the sun was HOT as hell, and we had to go -__-

It's pretty late already, i doubt i will be uploading pictures on Facebook or in my blog, so will just show you some of the pics i have taken during this trip. Major improvements from what i took in Thailand, Koh Lipe. Enjoy your weekends =) Good night and stay tune for the pictures, probably this or next week !!

Tripod, one of the few pictures i have took. My brain stopped working when i saw it, so not much pictures, but got a nice video :)

Girls posing while the instructor is teaching! LoL, on land and in water, still a camwhore!

Dillon posing underwater

SeaHorse Dive Center in Perhentian has a 2010 wall, and Dillon had a message for baby :D BTW he wrote Dillon & Nic, lol not ME!

The rest of the crew made me sign this too, lol!

Last but not least, like i said the sun was amazing on the last day, we 3 camwhored like mad hahaha! =p

Here i come...!

2010-08-08T11:27:00.001-07:00

It's 2:30am , and i'm suppose to wake at 4AM to get ready and pick my gf friends up to my house so we can grab a cab together to LCCT airport.

As usual, my perfect sleeping habit kicking in, i'm gonna be hella tired for sure in the plane > taxi ride > boat ride to the island...

But i am pretty sure i will get through it like i always do =)

HERE I COME PERHENTIAN ISLAND !! MY LONG AWAITED TRIP HAS FINALLY COME !! Wish my baby could tag along ;( Kussssssssje!

til then, see you when i'm back :D!

Megan Fox, Rihanna & Eminem. How can it go wrong?

Absolute amazing

YouTuber's talent

2010-07-30T02:58:00.000-07:00

Surfing in YouTube has been something like a routine for me to do daily, i always like to check out new videos, anything that's funny, unique, weird or even new!

One of my favourites are to find those talented singers that post their covers on YouTube, i have utmost respect to them, so much guts n courage to do it! But if i knew i have that talent, i would too, lol. Anyway if you have been reading my blog, you notice i'm loving Eminem's new album and tracks that has been released so far, no one can cover him, because he's the best there is. So i have seen this video by talented Tyler Ward (http://www.youtube.com/user/TylerWardMusic) another YouTube subscriber covering Eminem Feat. Rihanna - Love the way you lie track.

It's really nice, so why not share it with you guys~ Enjoy

(He's the guitarist for this cover, but do check out his page, he has done a lot of great covers)

Regrets...

2010-07-29T11:38:00.000-07:00

I have regretted pre-ordering the Manchester United home kit through the official website store online :( It's been god knows how many days and weeks since they confirm me the dispatch, and still no sign to be arriving here just yet...

I have been sending a few emails lately, and they have confirmed me by the 3rd of August if i have not received my package (Which i doubt they will by now) They will issue a refund or i can request a re-send again, they will probably use the express delivery that will only take "3days" I have not thought about which i would prefer, a resend or refund? Reasons because i would still save RM100+ which the badge/name/numberings, and i am not sure if Malaysia still would have the size S and i have to drive all the way down to IMBI plaza in KL for the printing, which not definitely have in stock too.......... So i will try to request a new name & numbering if they could, after all i think it's something least they could do to satisfy their customer :D

The new name & numbering would be, Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez of Mexico! He's 21 years of age, just join United this season, a really bright future talented young lad! He already wowed alot of people at the world cup, and plus he just scored on his debut yesterday against the MLS All Star! His nickname "Chicharito" means "Little Pea" yes a small green pea! LoL how cute =D

Here he is in Manchester United, debut! :D

The little pea getting mobbed by his team-mates after scoring!

The kit i would like to have now :D

2months & Counting!

2010-07-25T10:08:00.000-07:00

Oh dear lord, i can't wait to get my ass here :)

September 14-21st, my baby's and i first getaway from the havoc city !

Destination: ? (Top Secret for now) LoL, the pictures are just mind fucking blowing? Tell me about it! HEHEHEHEHE

A MUST SEE during our dives:-

1) Thresher Shark

2) Manta Ray

*dreaming away now****************

Manchester United 2010-2011 Kit

2010-07-22T10:37:00.000-07:00

There it is, the new Manchester United 2010/2011 home kit ! I have pre-ordered it even before the design was shown, but like what my girlfriend said, even if its ugly, i will slowly grow to love it just like the last kit with the (V) shape at the chest lol!

So smart ass me went on to order and they finally dispatched it on the 12th of July (launch day is on the 15th) I was hoping to be one of the first in M'sia to have the jersey, but nooooooope up til today it's hasn't arrived :( I hope it comes by today (Friday) !! If i don't get it by today, it will most likely be next week, ZzzZzZz !!

The good part about ordering it online would be 1) I save at least RM120-150 because of the printing and badge that were given for free (promo during the time i buy) 2) It's directly officially printed from the United store in England !

So i'm praying it comes later when i wake! :(

WCG Weekend

2010-07-18T08:02:00.000-07:00

Finally the week has ended, it was one hell of a tiring 3days, but we had so much fun together. I finally felt the competition feeling again, been missing it for 4years!!

Of course we did not enter with much high hopes, many old players that still recognize us was in shock to see us there let alone participating! But amazingly we could still pull off some good moments in the tournament. Besides playing WCG Counterstrike tournament, we also did participate a small exhibition tournament called "Counterstrike Legends" and a few of us also did join the 1 vs 1 railing tournament. It was held by our ex sponsor boss Mike, it was very good to see him too! Before we left on the final day, he went up to us and said how he missed those times where we were always seeing each other in the cafe or holding the cyber cafe name up as our sponsor, good old times.

This are the results of all the games we played the last 3 days:-

WCG Qualifiers:

Semi Finals :

BBL > NBTD : 16-9

3rd & 4th place :

NBTD > ? (i forgot their team name rofl) : 16-6

WCG Finals:

TYT > NBTD : 16-9

We then got eliminated after losing to TYT (Trust your Teammates)

WCG Legend tournament:

Semi Finals :

NBTD > Singaporeans : 16-5

Finals :

NBTD > NO : 16-16 (Overtime 4-1)

We won RM300, and a few other prizes in the goodie bags. LoL, as for the 1on1 tournament i do not remember the scores because there were quite alot of opponents, so i'll just post the final results.

1st- Mohd "Jings" Nazrin

2nd- Ahmad "StRyKeR_X" Azrin

3rd- Nicholas "bAbydiNo`" Ong

During the semi finals, i allowed Nasu to walkover as i know i will definitely lose to him in a 1on1 railing map, but we also then decided to split the cash and prizes since we were gonna win all 3 prize =) A total of RM500, split among 3, not too bad? LoL I bought myself a Steelseries Merc keyboard after that! A little weird using it, but the buttons are soft and nice to type, its sooner or later i will get used to it =) I also went home with a Samsung B2230 wide screen LCD! I bought it for RM499, it was a real good deal for a 21.5 inch screen, i am so happy with it!! Watching HD movies on it is so unreal haha =D

Before i end my post, i do would like to thank my friends for allowing me to have another once in a lifetime opportunity on how gaming was like again. I am sorry if i yelled at you or even went a little hard, everything stays in the game, and i am glad we 5 played together!

World Cyber Games '10 Malaysia

2010-07-12T11:07:00.000-07:00

If you ask me 1-2 years ago if i was ever going to participate another World Cyber Games counter strike tournament, i'll say hell no. But believe it or not, this coming Friday, i will be playing ! Nothing serious, but wanna relive back the fun we had before. We i mean Azrin (StRyKeR-X) Ben (NoName) Imran (Yahooo) Nasu (Jings) and myself of course (adorkable) We do not have a team name and most likely not use our legendary clan name -NBTD-

We have disappeared in the gaming world approximately about 3 1/2 years back, it wasn't a great ending, as we managed to only place 3rd in the last tournament :( This year result will probably the worst, hahaha i am just hoping we qualify the qualifiers -___-!!

Truthfully i miss my gaming days so much, but of course i can't go back, i am older and have many other responsibilities in life, such as work and more work! Can't believe i actually made a bit of living through gaming. We even traveled to China, Australia, Singapore for tournaments, all paid and sponsored! We spend a minimum of 4 hours of training per session and sometimes 7-8 hours when its closer to tournaments. My record was 14 hours, i still remember falling asleep half way through the match, LOL! (Yes i am lame)

Oh yesssss, my lucky charm Dinosaur is finally gonna reappear again!! It's sad cause he has more fame than i do =D All media's and photographers always wanna take a photo of him! :P Anyway time to hit the bed soon, enjoy my "old gaming" photos!!

Team Meeting in Xian, China.

With the world famous "Fat4lity"

Aww.. right? :D

HAHAHA, Don't ask me whats on Nasu's comp. It's some kinda SHEEP, he brought it out to tease me :(

ROAAAAARRR!

SPAIN 1 - 0 NETHERLANDS WC FINAL 2010

2010-07-12T00:29:00.000-07:00

World Cup 2010 has finally come to an end, what an EPIC final. Probably the best world cup final i've watched live up to date, full of tension, miss opportunity, close calls and scare to death moments! As you know i was supporting Spain for the finale, many people was wondering why i don't support Netherlands as my gf is from there, there's no answer to that, i don't see why i should support Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal IF my gf supports them. Football is football i guess, some things can't be changed overnight, but i am truly sad for her part as i know how it would suck if my country was in the final and lose. If you watch football with me, you can see how passionate of a fan i am, eventho i'm not English or Spanish , i would jump like there was no one around me. I could imagine from or living there having to suffer a loss in the final, Sorry baby and all her friends, better luck next time i guess :/

The World Cup started very slow, dull & boring. But it certainly lived up it expectations during the knock out rounds, before i end my post, i would like to congratulate Spain on the marvelous achievement, nothing is sweeter than winning the World Cup. Iker Casillas, the captain of Spain, you are the best goal keeper in the world by a big big margin. He's very well known for crying after winning a big tournament, he did it again last night on the field and off the field. Enjoy the video below =))

Iker Casillas kisses girlfriend Sara Carbonero

Last prediction from Paul the Octopus

2010-07-09T12:39:00.000-07:00

The latest star in 2010 Fifa World Cup has made his final last 2 predictions, he chose GERMANY to beat Uruguay and SPAIN to be the world champions. Do remember Paul has gotten 1 wrong in Euro 2008 final between Germany and Spain, he might just do it again this time around. But since my money is on Spain to clinch the cup, i am really hoping he doesn't get it wrong!

Tonight will be Germany vs Uruguay, if i were to predict.. Germany to win 3-1 or 4-2, there will be goals in this match that i assure you =)

It's late now, time to get some sleep and regenerate my energy for the last 2 final games. Have a great weekend.

Oh before i sign off, my final prediction even before Paul chose Spain to win it. Spain 2-0 Netherlands ! Torres and Villa to score.

Do not f*ck with Paul !

2010-07-08T01:05:00.000-07:00

What can i say? He did it again !!!

Hail the King Paul the oracle Octopus! He's freaking insane, i don't know if its luck, if he really knows wtf he's doing.. But damn, give any human 6 games to predict, chances of getting all right is very slim. Oh well , i am happy Germany lost, about time their luck runs out.

SPAIN VS NETHERLANDS is the FINAL. WHO WILL WIN?!

SPAIN is my choice, can't wait !!

UPDATE: Not sure if its photoshopped or it's real, but this owns! LoL

Paul the oracle Octopus predicts SPAIN > Germany

2010-07-07T08:50:00.001-07:00

Luck ? Stupidity ? God ? I have no idea, so far "Paul the oracle octopus" born in the UK but not long later got transferred to Germany, Oberhausen's Sea Life Aquarium. The 2 year old creature has so far got a 100% record prediction on all of Germany's game in the world cup. Most noticeable was the loss to Serbia, was it all luck? Does he really know what he's doing ... ?

Well as far as i can say ... we can all just wait and see. Tonight's match the 8 legged dude has predicted Spain to take it, i am seriously hoping it does happened!! 1) I fucking hate Germany football team. 2) I placed my money on Spain to win the World Cup

Hopefully Paul get this right =) I am counting on you ! GOGO ESPANYOL !!! VAMOS !!

Good night from my baby elmo =)

2010-07-05T11:26:00.000-07:00

Yes he looks abit dirty, haven't shower for days now =P But hes still cute! Here he is taking a sleep on my leg, Elmo my love!

4years n going strong =)

2010-07-03T19:39:00.000-07:00

Today 3rd of July 2010 marks my 4th year anniversary with my babygirl Jois, too bad we can't celebrate it together. In fact we only celebrated it once in this 4years, how sad huh.. Well yeah i could still remember clearly the day i've met her and most of the things we did together up to date. It's been amazing so far and i am very sure a lot more adventures and fun have yet discovered =))

You've been so supportive, loving, caring, and i just can't wait to be in your arms again. 2.5months to go, will be counting down daily til i see you again in the airport.

Happy Anniversary baby =) KUSSSSSJJEEEEEE !

BET 2010 Awards

2010-06-29T02:25:00.000-07:00

I have just viewed 2 amazing performances in the BET 2010 awards, and of course it will appear here ! Just wanna add Chris Brown tribute performance for the late Michael Jackson is unbelievable, really outstanding! No one does it better than him, he showed real emotion at the end by breaking down and murdering "Man In the Mirror" song lol! But hats off to you Chris Brown!

Speaking about murdering a song, i think Keyshia Cole did just that -_____- But thankfully the man showed up and killed the performance!

Update: Oh well, the video's have been removed by BET in YouTube. Better luck next time :/

England cursed once again...

2010-06-28T00:47:00.000-07:00

I jumped off my chair, screaming for joy as soon as i saw the ball went pass the line (In my head, the ref cant be that blind to see it not go over, THEY CANT BE THAT BLIND! It's VERY clear, even people from the bench could tell it went over) Then reality hit after 10seconds when i saw the game played on, in disbelief the ref did not count that goal.

ENGLAND 1 - 4 GERMANY

That was the final score.. The scoreline is flattering, yes i admit Germany outplayed England, but the timing of that goal denied was the crucial point. It was just before half time, England got it back from 2-0 to 2-1 and should have been 2-2. Momentum would have carried them during half time break, and they would have played a different style of football in the second half. To all you England haters, yes you can say it would have been 4-2, well let me just say this to you, fuck you because u don't know football then. You should stick ur head in ur mom's ass because you definitely got that football knowledge from her ass. England may suck, i admit, but you don't need to play great football to win, and that's what fans will say, but if you are just there to watch beautiful football matches, maybe you should off the tv when England plays. Bottom line is, no one knows what would happen if it ended 2-2 during half time, but i do accept the fact England played bad football this world cup but its no surprise to everyone eyes.

After all this controversial calls, i find FIFA really fucking dumb for still not implementing a goal line technology, or put a damn ref behind the goal post at LEAST. What's the point having a 4th official at the fucking bench area?? What the fuck are they doing there? Suck a coach dick? Read newspaper? Carry water? ZZzz.. i should just stop writing because the further i write the more i wanna kill the linesman, u piece of shit. You should cut your eyes out and donate it to the blind people because as far as i know you don't use them!

Ghana for the win ! GO GO Ghana win the world cup!

Redemption

2010-06-24T09:48:00.000-07:00

England have qualified to the round of 16 !!!! The bad news is that they're meeting arch rivals Germany. After looking at how England played the last game, i would say a complete 360 turn around since their last match against Algeria. They played with pride, heart and most importantly hunger to win. If they play just as well as they did against Slovenia with Germany, i have no doubt England has a great chance to progress to the quarterfinals!

On a side note, if you remember i wrote a post about the favorites in the world cup. Yep my prediction for Italy not to win it has got it SPOT ON. They have just got knocked out the group stage few minutes ago! Slovakia 3-2 Italy, more embarrassing news is they placed last in their group with 2 draws and 1 lost ( ZERO WIN )

COME ON ENGLAND, you are just 4 matches away from the big cup!!! YOU CAN DO IT! God Save the Queen!

Eminem - Recovery

2010-06-21T23:56:00.000-07:00

Eminem is back, and better than ever ! LOVE The new album - Recovery. Recently released the first single, "Not Afraid". Music video is out and attached below, enjoy!! There's also another song called "Love the way you lie featuring Rihanna" Awesome!

England @ World Cup 2010

2010-06-18T13:42:00.000-07:00

Probably the worst ever England game i have witnessed in my lifetime. Wayne Rooney looked like he got butt fucked in the ass a million times that it hurt so bad he couldn't run at all. Never in a Man United shirt i have seen him like this, even when he was injured he could run and played with more heart than that. It's unfair to just put the blame on him but honestly, the whole team were SHIT!! I have lost words to even defend 'em, call them toothless lion, lazy performance, uninspiring, no enthusiasm, whatever the words, i will agree with you on that.

England 0 - 0 Algeria

England is still not out of World Cup yet, what better is that they could still top their group if they decide to beat Slovenia in their final group match. The group is still wide open for any of them to go through to the final 16, whatever the outcome, if England do make it and plays like this, they can dream of going past that stage.

Sometimes i wonder why and how this favorites play so bad in the biggest tournament of international football. Do they take it for granted? Are they over confidence? I seriously have no clue... I see the underdogs, the Asians, the new comers plays the match as if it was their last, and thats what national football is all about, show some pride, play ur heart out at least! Thankfully i am not an English man, i could just go on and on..

Okay enough of ranting, i just wanted to let that out. It's 5am, i have lost so much sleep during the World Cup i think its time to take a step back and check in reality. 4years once, and in just a week i am almost fed up with what i saw. I am fooling no one if i say England still has a chance to win the cup, a blind man could even tell how lousy/boring England played by the sound made of the people that watched the game.

Good night

Sad & Boring World Cup

2010-06-17T03:07:00.001-07:00

1st round of the group matches have ended, and let me just say how fucking boring the matches have been. Only a team have managed to score 4 and 1 scored 3 if i am not wrong, most of them ended in a low scoring draw.

I have lost quite a number of bets online, hahaha. Gonna take it slow and only play matches that are easier to be won :/

I have stop predicting matches, this world cup has given a number of shock result. Hopefully more goals and excitement starts now ...

Maybe?

2010-06-13T03:55:00.000-07:00

HAHA Okay, maybe i should just stop making predictions on score, it's totally way off.

World Cup hasn't been great for viewing lately, and especially for me =(

But i'm hoping Slovenia can do me a favor later, please just win by one goal will do!!

Day 3 predictions:

Slovenia to beat Algeria
Serbia to beat Ghana
Germany to beat Australia

Update on predictions so far

Future Funk (America's Got Talent 2010)

2010-06-06T10:22:00.001-07:00

From American's Idol, lets move on to America's got talent 2010. I have just witnessed one of the cutest kids around, instant melt even before they performed. Serious shit <3

So from kids, lets move on to the adults. Haspop of France auditioning for America's Got Talent 2010, absolutely incredible, mind blowing dancing.

American Idol 2010, Lee DeWyze

2010-05-26T22:21:00.001-07:00

LEE DEWYZE is the new American Idol winner!! It was just matter of time, the result did not surprise me much even though Crystal sang way better on the finale. But i am sure there are more girls out there voting than the guys, and Lee isn't a bad looking dude, so that helps a lot. Congratulations to you once again Lee and great job Crystal, you both are well deserved finalist! Nonetheless i think this year the fans have voted quite well, not much surprise except when Big Mike got voted off at week 8 if i'm not wrong? He got saved in the end anyway, shocker ! hahah :P

Not only we say good bye to American Idol season 9, but it is also Simon Cowell's final show. I think it's gonna be a tough order to find a replacement, he is known to be the "evil" judge but truth to be told, 99% of the contestants would love to hear his comments and actually base their performance more on what he says rather than the other 3 (except maybe Kara, AT times) Randy's comments are just pure pitchy dawg. The show did an amazing farewell show for him, and he definitely felt very emotional hahah, gonna miss him and his love hate relationship with Ryan Seacrest on the show lol. But we definitely wont see the last of Simon, as he has many other shows to judge.

I started smoking at age 14 was pretty bad enough but i felt the need to stop at 21, my health has changed quite a bit after that. Sinus stop coming as often as before, i could smell better, stamina gained much more, i could taste food much better, and no more bad cigarettes breathe =D HEHE all thanks to my girlfriend who convinced me to stop or else she wont date me, MUAHAHA! Another reason i stopped!

Alright that's all for now, just wanted to show you what the fuck has this world coming to. Cheers !!

Edit: Just found out my baby is having her exams in an hour time, GOOD LUCK HUN :D Koesje!

2010 Football season Ends

2010-05-23T06:50:00.000-07:00

Finally, it's settled! Leagues / Cups / European Cups have found their champions. Would like to congratulate all Inter Milan fans around the world for their wonderful achievements, 45years of wait, that's a very long time haha.

It's really unfair to give Jose Mourinho all the credit, but damn, i rate him one of the best managers around. His records are undeniable, not many has done what he has achieved. Minutes after crowning as European champions, he has told the world he would be leaving the club and has achieved everything he could with Inter in 2years. He also made a big hint the next club he would be taking over will be Real Madrid. Omg, can you imagine how massive that news will be? Who will he sign there ? Will Real Madrid be the team to be once again ? Will he win another European Champion with another team ? We will see =)

World Cup is next, about 2weeks plus to go. I CANT WAIT!!!!! HURRY UP!!!! Gonna get lots of pimples due to all the late nights ;( But it's worth it! 4years once =p

A month has gone by...

2010-05-19T10:38:00.001-07:00

It's almost a month since my last post, shows how much i like to "blog" hahaha!! So what have i been up to? Honestly nothing much, work hasn't been going smoothly like it was last year :/ Cases are coming in slow and few, need to start finding new opportunity elsewhere if this continues til the latter stages of the year. Without loan executions i don't get commissions, and that's where money really comes for me.. Claims & Basic salary is almost like a saving or spending option, so hopefully everything goes back to normal ASAP!!

Ok moving on, i am super jealous of my baby, she attended Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour! Most people that knows me, should know i'm a huge huge fan of her. To be honest, i wasn't into her so much at the start, but she grew on me, and then i found her really interesting, then i fell in love with her, haeahea =p YES i'm GAGA all over her now! So without a doubt my baby went on telling me how great the concert was, and all i can do now is wish someday i could attend one of her concerts. Speaking of that weekend, i attended a huge event in KL too, it's called "12 hour" a dance festival / concert thing that features Pit Bull, Lisa Lashes, Benny Benassi and Roger Shah. I was smashed, left my car in Hartamas and puked a couple of times on the way home. LOL!! (AS USUAL) But i had fun, did not expect but i was drinking away with Melissa & Michelle the twins, about time i partied with them! I did not bring my camera along, thank goodness haha, no idea what might happen to it when i'm drunk -__-

Anyway my travelling plans for Australia is almost sorted except for one more air ticket hasn't booked yet.
Oct 5th > 12th = Melbourne
Oct 12th > 15th = Goldcoast (staying in a 4 1/2 star Vibe Hotel)
Oct 15th > 19th = Great Barrier Reef
Oct 19th > 21st = Melbourne
All booked and researched by baby, THANK YOU very much and i love you for that =) MUAH! On top of that i am most likely postponing my Perhentian trip in July to August, due to my gf's friends wanting to go and they have asked if i could tag along with them, so why not?!!? Gonna be weird tho, unless i bring a few of my friends along. Hopefully there's someone out there!

My TV series are slowly ending :( Desperate Housewives, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl has all ended their seasons. The worst part is that all of 'em left the viewers wanting more! GOD DAMN that's why i hate TV series, also why i liked them haha!! Before i end my post tonight, American Idol is down to the last 3 contestant, by far the million miles best performance of the season goes down to LEE tonight, Brilliant !! Good night y'all

World Cup Fever

2010-04-21T10:02:00.001-07:00

As you all know by now, i am a super football freak, and the WORLD CUP can't get any bigger than this. This year South Africa 2010 World Cup will surely be another memorable one! There's only one team i support when it comes to International tournaments, it's non other than England. Truth to be told, it's very disappointing and stressful when you support 'em, because you always expect them to do GOOD, and when the time comes, they just fall again. Even before the campaign started, there's already a bad news in the England camp, David Beckham will not be participating this event due to his injury, it would have probably be his last, and i am his biggest fan =( Hopefully he still do travels with the squad to give good morale support, and he does have a big and great influential to the younger players in the squad.

Well every tournament there are favourites, contenders and upsets. I am going to list down a player to watch for all the big contenders of this year tournament, also to break down on the squad or the players. So if you aren't a football freak, probably this is where it ends for you to read =)

SPAIN

Coach : Vicente Del Bosque

Rank : #1

Player to watch : Xavi (F.C Barcelona)

Quite simply the best midfielder in the modern era football. Was relatively under rated in the early years of breaking through the Barcelona squad, but you could tell from then he was turning to a world class player. Voted best midfielder of the year 2008/2009 season, winning a famous treble with the Catalans giant. His passing ability is second to none, any strikers would dream to play along side with him, creates countless through passes, slice in between defenders, lob over, you name it, he could provide it. Best of all, he doesn't lose the ball often, very compose and just plays effortless. He definitely gets my support to be hailed as one of the greatest midfielders to ever play the game. By far the best currently playing. As for the squad, Spain is the number 1 favourites to clinch this tournament, with the form of their players, it is going to be tough to stop them. It will be a big disappointment if they do not reach the final.

Brazil

Coach : Dunga

Rank : #2

Player to watch : Julio Cesar (F.C Inter Milan)

Arguably the favourites every time they enters the competition. The minute you say the word Brazil, a hundred of names would appear in your head instantly. Probably a shocker to see me choose a goalkeeper instead of so many other super stars in the team. Why? Simply because none of them has produce the quality they could this year, even the great Kaka' is a big disappointment, large chunk of his 60million transfer to Real Madrid seems to be quite a flop. But not this guy, Julio Cesar, under the radar for the last couple of years now, but he definitely is the second best goalkeeper (behind Iker Casillas) People often talk about strikers / midfielders winning you game, but one thing for sure is goalkeepers helps you NOT lose games. Having won the last 3 Italian league in a row, in the semi-finals of this year Champions League, let's see if he can carry all this form to the World Cup.

Netherlands

Coach : Bert Van Marwijk

Rank : #3

Player to watch : Robin Van Persie (Arsenal)

Another shocking selection i think? Wesley Sneijder was probably the better choice, but i have thought hard and yes sticking to Robin Van Persie. Why? Because he is all fresh and ready to slam some balls with that lethal left leg of his. He can create, cross, shoot, pass, dribble, a complete forward player. It has been a frustrating season for him, out for 7months through injury, and finally got back on the field last 2weeks, and already look super impressive. With Arsenal going through another trophy-less season, i am very sure he is all fired up ready to go fighting for his country. Netherlands is probably the other closest thing to England, always FALLS short, i know how you guys feel, same way i do for England. But bare in mind if their midfielders stay healthy, damn i pity those defenders that needs to mark players like Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael Van Der Vaart and the list goes on and on. Definitely one of the scary team to watch out for.

Portugal

Coach : Carlos Queiroz

Rank : #4

Player to watch : Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid F.C)

Needless anymore introduction for this boy. World / Europe player of the year 2008, Most expensive player in the history of football - 94million Euros. Has he lived up to his standard? Let me give you some stats, 30 games 27 goals. Has He? DAMN right he did. You either love him or hate him, but he is simply remarkable. His pace, tricks, skills, shots, amazes you even if you watch him day in day out everyday. No disrespecting the Portuguese squad, but i am terribly sorry to say they will not win, the squad isn't complete enough. Furthermore they are in the group of death together with Brazil, Ivory Coast & North Korea. But if there is one thing i have learnt watching C.Ron in United days, is never to say no when he is on the field, magic happens. Best would be a semi-finalist in my prediction book.

Italy

Coach : Marcello Lippi

Rank : #6

Player to watch : Daniele De Rossi (Roma)

Defending champions, against all odds they won the last world cup. Looking at their current squad, i will be bold enough to say, they will not win it. The team looks old, do not look solid and certainly question marks in their "famous strong point" which is defense. I am struggling to find a player to watch for this team, and end up choosing one of the younger one, De Rossi. Another complete midfielder, but most noticeable is his ability to shoot from outside the box. Very energetic player, never say die attitude, breaking up plays and one of the future Italian captain in my opinion. The current striking department does not look impressive either, the magical Del Piero and ever green Totti most likely will not feature in their last campaign. Only time will tell how far can the Italian go.

Germany

Coach : Joachim Lowe

Rank : #5

Player to watch : Bastian Schweinsteiger (F.C Bayern Munich)

Germany. I have nothing much to say except this Germans cannot be written off, NO MATTER how lousy or awful they squad seem to be. But Bastian is one player most big teams would love to have, he is right footer but plays on the left more often. But he has started more to the central position this season, equally as dangerous as he is on the flank. Great crosser of the ball, and a very dangerous player when he gets in the box. Currently leading the club to another successful Champions League glory. As a England fan, i really hope they don't win the world cup, or better yet England knocking them out would be a real sweet deal. The Germans are just unique, not a very skillful team, but damn they are consistent. It's like a natural thing whichever player they bring to the World Cup, they always seem to shine at the big stage. Runners up in 2002, Third in 2006, who knows where they'll end up this year =)

England

Coach : Fabio Capello

Rank : #7

Player to watch : Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)

Currently most feared striker in the world, 34 goals in his name this year. Most experts came out to say he was under the spot light of Cristiano Ronaldo the previous seasons, i would definitely agree with them. Rooney has step up incredibly this season, almost played apart in most of Man United's goals this year. Not the most skillful player of all, but he wears his heart on his sleeves. The desire of winning the ball back for the team is almost insane, hungry for goals more often this days, and has IMPROVED his header so much this year. I can go on and on about this guy, at this early age, i can almost say he is a legend already. Who knows he might be for the country too if he helps them win it this year. I have a lot of faith in them this year, they finally hired a great coach, and the team is at their peak. If they do not win this year, i don't see them winning anything for at least a couple of world cups later. So pleaseeeee ENGLAND, do me a favour and give me something happy to cheer this summer!

Argentina

Coach : Diego Maradona

Rank : #9

Player to watch : Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

Football is not football these days if you do not mention his name. Lionel Messi, the magician, wizard, god. Often being compared to Diego Maradona, from the style of play. Currently the European / World player of year, and i have no doubt he will it again this year or some other seasons. Played 47, scored 40 goals ? No effort for this guy, he scores, creates, dribbles for fun. Amazingly he is so humble as well, always try to stay on his feet if he could, if you have a kid wanting to grow up be a footballer, look no further, buy videos of Messi. In my mind, already the best player to have played the game. All he needs is to win the World Cup and no one in the world could say he isn't the best anymore. Argentina is definitely one of the country to look out for, don't write them off eventhough they struggled to qualify. I am predicting at least a minimum of semi-finalist for this team.

There ya go, the top 9 favourites to win this year World Cup. It would be awesome if England gets it =) I know it's tough, but it's WORLD CUP, you don't win it easily. Finally the long 4 year wait has to an end, i am already dreaming about it these days. After all the natural disasters going on these days, i am sure the world will be celebrating watching the worlds best game.

Enjoy the rest of your week people, cheers!

Rob-bed.

Celebrating at 3-0

Rafael walking off the pitch after red card.

FC Bayern Munich celebrating their famous (agg 4-4 draw) away goal win. Breaks my heart, and it hurts knowing we threw the game away.

In a week, we get knock out in Champions League, and going 2nd in the league.

Status : Confirmed ! Australia here i come !!

2010-04-07T09:47:00.001-07:00

My long wait of purchasing air ticket to Australia has finally ended ! ! I just bought a return ticket from the 5th Oct 2010 til 21st Oct 2010 =)) I will be flying with Air Asia, i know i am going to complain about the seat, but what the heck, i got it for a damn good price!!

I have not confirmed what my plans are yet, still need to discuss with my gf. But Goldcoast & Great Barrier Reef island is definitely part of it. OMG the thoughts of diving in Great Barrier Reef excites me so so much, i have been wanting to dive there since i got my license. Yes there is great white sharks / tiger sharks there, but hey people still dives there and it's part of the 7th wonders in the world. Lets hope nothing happens to me and then i finally can be proud to say i have dived there once beforeeee =)) Then there is also Goldcoast, the land of entertainment. I was 14years old last time i went there, don't really remember much except petting kangaroos , koala bears, and visiting movie world. Lots of fun tho, and yes get to swim with dolphins too!

But the main purpose of visiting Melbourne is for my sister's wedding. Oct 10 this year, and she promised to have a cake for me too! (It falls on my birthday) But it's okay, i am very glad to share this special day with her, very very happy for her and damn i am very sure it's going to be very emotional. Hopefully my tears can hold themselves back that day =D

Alright 1 holiday has finally settled. I have a few more to plan.

1)Perhentian in July

2)Perhentian in Sept (With baby)

3)Philippines in Sept (With baby) *Diving trip*

4)Amsterdam & Europe in Dec/Jan
