MERDEKA!!!!

My memory is really getting bad nowadays, I do remember that our National Day falls on the 31th of August, but I cannot remember the year. One sure thing when it comes to 31st of August, PUBLIC HOLIDAY!!!! That is why we Malaysians will ever be so patriotic! What more, our government spend quite alot each year entertaining us with cool display of fireworks;




I know, I've not been a good citizen, barely remembering how we got our independance. The only figure I can clearly recall is our beloved Dato Seri Dr. Mahatir bin Mohamad, OH! MY MISTAKE!!!! I mean Tunku Abdul Rahman, the father of Independance. By the way, Dato Seri Dr.Mahatir bin Mohamad is our 4th Prime Minister, and all due respect to him, what a great job he did!

Okay sorry for the misleading information, Tunku Abdul Rahman, father of Independance, fought for our independance from the grasp of the selfish British rule! The year was 19... when a group of Malaysian politician led by Tunku Abdul Rahman flew (I think so they flew, maybe they took a boat?) to England with their keris pointing at Queen Elizabeth's neck demanding that Malaya be set free! Of course by then, our poor country has been sucked dry of its tin ore and gold. I really cannot recall what actually happened, so I did a search on the internet about our history;

THE BRITISH RULE
In 1786, the British acquired Penang Island and established a settlement called George Town there. Gradually, Britain acquired control over more of the area to protect its shipping lanes between China and India.............................. In 1896 the Malay states accepted British advisors, and Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Pahang formed a federation. By 1914, Britain had either direct or indirect colonial control over all the lands that now make up Malaysia, which it called British Malaya.

British rule took several forms.................... Britain placed a representative called a resident in each kingdom. The local sultan agreed to accept the resident's advice on political and economic matters.

......................................................................................

INDEPENDENCE FROM THE BRITISH
From the 1890s the British invested heavily in what was then called Malaya, developing transportation and rubber plantations. Coupled with the power of the White Rajahs in Borneo, Britain ruled over Malaya until 1941 when the Japanese invaded Malaya and captured Singapore in early 1942. Japan occupied British Malaya and much of Asia until losing the war in 1945. World War II and its aftermath brought the end of British rule.

After World War II ended in 1945, the British tried unsuccessfully to organize Malaya into one state due to a mature independence movement organized as an alliance under YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman. This led to the birth of Malayan nationalism, which opposed a colonial status. In 1946 the United Malaya National Organization (UMNO) was established. ..................................... With Malay help, the British finally subdued the Emergency in 1960, three years after independence. In 1955 the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) joined UMNO in an anticommunist, anticolonial coalition that won 51 of 52 parliamentary seats. The British relinquished their powers, and in 1957 the Federation of Malaya had gained complete independence from Britain. Singapore, which had a mostly Chinese population, remained outside the federation as a British crown colony. Peninsular Malaysia became an independent nation called Malaya in 1957. When the British flag was finally lowered in Kuala Lumpur's Dataran Merdeka in 1957, Tunku became the first prime minister of Malaya

The article has been cut short for easy viewing, moreover I believe none of you all will be reading it, but for those who are interested, click here. After reading the article, I feel proud to be a Malaysian, and proud of the people who fought for us. I do aptly remember how my grandmother praised our first prime minister. She remembers him as a non-racial malay who would go around mingling with his people, making sure that everyone is happy, and she remembers clearly how she met him loitering in the streets with a smiley face greeting any passer who recognizes him.

Our country has really progressed a long way since, gone are the days of trishaws and bull carts, now we have our very own car manufacturer, Proton! Which of late, has just lost its CEO and is now speculating on hiring a foreign CEO, in which, does not bodes well with our ex-prime minister. Okay, enough of politics, and of course for all fellow Malaysians, HAPPY MERDEKA DAY!!!! May your pants be so filled that you'll drop some coins for me.

Juicy News and Rumours?

Care for some juicy rumours? I'm taking about ball(s) kicking here, and when you kick a ball, there can only be one type of ball or balls, depending on your immagination. But the ball(s) I meant here is of course football, football that involves no ball kicking at all! Weird? Well nothing is weird in this world, so let me, once again, introduce Hattrick.

Alright, juicy rumours? We've found a few anonymous reporters to keep tabs 6yardbox members, especially involving big clubs, transfer tappings, court cases, anything that should keep you entertained.

Things to come

What Kind Of Friend?

Someone posted me a very interesting question the other day through MSN, asking me what do I think of him as a friend? I really don't know what irked him to ask such a question, but he's been going through really really hard times lately, you know I know lar what kind of hard times, and if you don't know, don't bother to ask, because it is not related to this topic.

Seriously though, no one is in any position to judge anyone else, no one at all except God. I mean, its not right also to comment about others, especially behind their backs or so forth, that is why I choose not to say a word when he asked me how I feel about him. I do have this failing too, being fast to judge, talk about others and so forth, but then again, as I grow older(not that old lar, just a figure of speech) I realize that it is just plain wrong for us to talk about others, what more people who treat you like close friend, you wouldn't know how much you'll hurt someone if they come to know that a close friend is talking behind them. So, a word of advice, try not to talk about others, even if you have something to share, do it infront of that person.

Anyway, back to this topic. Well, no doubt lar, he FFK(Fong Fei Kei = Let Go Aeroplane) me a few times, yet no matter what happens, he's still a friend. I do admit, I did talk about him, and I feel bad too, that is why I openly admit now lor, that I too have this failing, and that is why I took the next step trying to improve myself. You see, my friend here have some problems with, lets phrase the subject as, Boss, so he started asking me opinion about Boss. Though I have to admit, after hearing things from him and a few others, I do have bad bad impression of Boss, but somehow or another, I declined to comment anything and let my dear friend decide on things himself.

After a few weeks, this friend of mine came back with news of Boss and then posted me the question above(see picture). It seems, there are many things going on in his mind now, he's confused about Boss, he's having some conscience because he's lying to someone(don't ask me who), in short, one confused young man! Poor fellah, I do have my own opinion on how he should go around doing things, but then again, I rather keep my comments to myself and not think about it anymore, moreover, only HE will find out if his decision is a good or bad one at the end of the day.

Oh yeah, just to recap about the word FFK, fong fei kei, it is a cantonese word used to describe a person who.......

Okay my mind is a little bit stuck now, so let me paint you a story instead;

One day, A invited B to have lunch at a famous Dim Sum restaurant in Kuchai Lama(randomly picked area). B agreed and did all the arrangements he could to reach there on time even if it means going through some troubles. Later on, B notice that A invited a few others too and they happily waited for A in that restaurant.

It was about half an hour later when B decided that everyone was hungry and then ordered something light to eat first but not before trying countless times to contact A to no avail.

The group finnished eating and called A again, this time, A picks up the phone and claims he is in a far far away land(not that far lar, maybe 1 hour drive to Kuchai from that place). In the end, A didn't turn up

End of story......

Okay, a short story to illustrate the meaning of FFK. In that case, A is described as the person who FFK B and the bunch of friend. Anyway, FFK is not a proper word, as in, not found in the dictionary, so use it wisely...

w3sw33...Gone

Yeah, well, my friend's blog is gone, http://w3sw33.blogspot.com....the freakin hilarious, ultra colourful blog is gone. You know, that just takes away one of my daily routine, to check Wes' blog for updates and read it, write in some comments, type something in his chat box, well, too bad, its gone and can never be revive. To be frank, Wes is a good friend of mine, some might think his post are rather offensive, sometimes full of criticism, bubbling with sarcasm, blah blah, but seriously, Wesley is a nice guy. His main intention for his blog is to make it funny, so that his circle of friends will enjoy it.

Sometimes, don't comment if you don't know a person. If those who know him for like years can live with it, why bother? I do feel bad for him though, in real life, he's just a gentle bloke, but expressive with words and actions, in short FUNNY! But someone who don't know a person, don't be quick to judge others. Well I feel that the main point here is, his blog was never meant for people who don't know him, if he was such a fame seeker, I believe he would be famous by now.

Well, blogging is fun, cruel at times when you have anonymous people commenting using harsh words. Well, maybe it is sometimes good to keep some privacy in a blog, don't be too open about your life, your work, your daily activities, religion and etc. Not that it is wrong to be open, but sometimes you've got some "friendly" strangers who thinks they know everything, armed with words that can blow ur head off, using ur post as ammunition, you know lar..smart guys who are always out to make life difficult for others...I'm sure those famous bloggers are always facing such problems don't they??

Anyway, friends of Wes will surely miss his little sarcasm and criticism at w3sw33...

Another Friendly

Just finnish a futsal frienly last night; I believe it was more like a setup match, not a real friendly like the last time, please refer here. Well, it seems our very formidable team has been split like a banana torn into two(it's not easy to tear a banana OK!).



Aihh, dissapointing, our team is left with Philip, Justus and I. Please don't be fooled, Philip actually lost interest in futsal and has not been training properly and thus he was missing shots here there everywhere!!! Daniel pulak, suppose to play, but his very nice boss, who so happened to be bribed by Mark, in turn kept him in the office thus eliminating our only striker in the team. Timo, quite futsal all together liao.

As for replacement killers, we had no choice but to hire Big Sam, who actually performed very well), Jesudas(this wan arrr!!!!!!), and Aaron(still lacking in experience) to play for us. Just for your information, Jesudas was previously our opponent, so you should know the consequences lar.

This time, we had to go against a very dangerous and deadly force consisting of, Mark, Matthew, Daniel(indian), Jonathan, Robert and Isaac.

So let me paint you a picture of our game;

1. We haven't even sweat yet when this Jesudas lost the ball and let them score(barely a minute gone).


2. Justus and I running like crazy while Philip sitting outside watching and laughing.


3. Aaron miss don't know how many chances and Jesudas pass the ball to opponents don't know how many times.


4. Philip came in and miss don't know how many chances!


5. Opponents playing very well making Justus and I run like crazy again


6. We scored more goals than them.


7. WE ACTUALLY SCORED MORE GOALS THAN THEM!!!!!!!


8. Final score 6-5 to our favour


9. We thanked Isaac for scoring an own goal which helped us win


10. and obviously, WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeap, they tried splitting us, they tried to implant a spy in our team, they tried many things!!! BUT WE STILL WON!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Seriously though, all credits to them for giving us such a good fight, and best thing of all, for actually handing us the victory(the own goal). I guess their guilty conscience cought hold of them. Anyway, I believe we played extreamly well they were the better team, with better overall movement and of course with Jesudas giving the ball to them.

Of course after the game, I went up to Mark to console him a little, "It's okay Mark, good game, even though we haven't field our best squad yet.."

To be frank, I do miss the old team, we clicked much better and our passing and movement were very much better compared to this one.

Shit, I'm beginning to be like Jesudas, the cocky fellah!!!!

Mistake Correction

Okay, Aunty Sandy, you win! Yeah, I'll have to delete the post about her, she's been bugging me for the past week to remove it and so, I'll do it lor, that's why you'll find that post deleted, but the pictures will still be there though.

By the way, just want to correct a mistake I did the other day about the birthday bash. Remember Aunty Jane? Well apparently her birthday is not on August, she was there as a replacement for sean, her husband, who was, unfortunately, working that day.


Handsome rite??

Yeah, they are a happily married couple. Wanted to post one of their wedding picture, but didn't manage to get the file in time for this post, this Aunty Jane cancelled the file transfer...



There, a picture of both of them in Cherating.

Ahhh...some good news, just before I clicked "Publish Post", aunty Jane suddenly send me a nice picture of their wedding, there you go;

Foodfull day

Alright, I notice how much the contents of my post have changed since I started blogging a few months back. Then, I would post about what happened daily, things that zipped through my mind, and I would type super long to try and make myself and the readers understand. But of late, I only blog if the mood is there and my post are all rather short and hard to understand, even me myself find it hard! Besides that, I started like using unedited pictures to sometime illustrate things.

After talking to a friend about blogging, I suddenly realize that some people do take blogging seriously! Even though she doesn’t post too often, but when she does, she really pour her heart out and when others start commenting, she’ll get worked out because she doesn’t want it to be discussed outside her blog. Well, I was speechless, don’t know how to put my words together, and in the end I just replied with, “Maybe you think too much lar.”

It is sort of weird, because she told me she don’t mind what others think about her post, but she mind when others talk about her post. I was like, hrmmmm, what’s the difference? If you don’t mind what others think about your blog then common sense will tell you that its not an issue when they talk about your blog! Anyway, in the end, I concluded that everyone has a mind of their own, and everyone has the right to have a mind of their own, we cannot in any way influence them. As for me, I never take blogging seriously and my mind is always too so simple that even if I type my whole mind out, it will still not be of any topic for the rest to discuss about, in short, its because I’m a guy lar! I mean, who wants to talk about guys for, everyone is only interested about girls only mar, that is why whatever she wrote became a topic for the rest.

Okay, enough about that topic;

The day was pretty interesting, woke up with my clothes on the floor… apparently, my mom wanted us to fold our clothes all over again because she’s complaining we wear the same shirt all the time. You see, guys are not as complicated as women, we see a shirt, our mind will immediately interpret it as, “A SHIRT” and automatically pick the cleanest, closest shirt we can lay our little hands on. Whereas for girls, a shirt can have multiple interpretation;

1. Aiyoh this shirt color doesn’t match my pants lar.


2. Shit this wan don’t match my skirt.


3. Hrrmmm I look fat in this particular shirt.


4. Do I look GOOD??


5. EEYERRRR GOT DUST LERR!!!!


6. ….


7. ….


8. ….


9. ….


10. ….

And that is only for shirts. Imagine them hogging the closet for hours concluding about their skirt lar, their belt lar, their hair clip lar, this and that……in short, guy’s headache. Of course it still beats me, how come at the end of the day; a girl’s closet will always look more tidy than a guys one even though we just pick the shirt from the top!

Sorry I digress so far! Well, mom was complaining how I always wear the same shirt so she took out all my shirt and make me fold them and place them in my cupboard again. Took me about 5 minutes, simply fold all the clothes and then tug it nicely into my cupboard. Well, mom was on leave today, so as usually, she’ll make us do some things to make the house look clean, I’m not complaining though…

Next up, brushed my teeth and ate some macaroni mom cooked, shhhh, I’m not an ardent fan or macaroni, in fact I don’t really like it but because it’s mummy cooking, I just eat without complaining and it tasted pretty good actually. Later on, helped my dad to burn a VCD for a presentation. Just before leaving the house, mom caught hold of me and asked me to grind the gula melaka. Well I think she’ll regret to find out how much I love to much gula melaka(kids don’t do it, its no good munching gula melaka) and caused some 5% lost in total net weight.

Went to UE3 mall with my dad to pass the VCD and to show them how to play it in their laptops. Took about 20 minutes to play the file and after that, dad took me for lunch at Marybrown. I ate a chicken burger and later ordered another fish-O-fillet. After that, we walked around the mall for about an hour and went home to sleep, preparing for church. Mom prepared some delicious meal today, curry cuttlefish, steamed chicken and vege. It was superb! Makes you forget about the pounds and calories, anyway, it never bothered me before.

That’s practically all that happened today, left out some later part because nothing much happened, went to church, came home, and now blogging…

Big Kids

Was walking around in KLCC after my friend called me telling me our revision class is now on Wednesday. It’s quite packed there today, school holidays, so I took a walk in the park. Its about noon when I passed the children pool and was scratching my head, why is the pool so empty?



So I read the sign there and found out that…



Please take your time reading the rules and regulations. Note that it is closed for maintenance on Mondays and only children below 12 are allowed in the pool.

Took a walk around the whole park, snapped a few pictures around;








And I wonder what that man is doing in a kiddy’s area! Too many oversized kids around nowadays.



This is really nice, a small family having picnic near the playground.



I walked for about an hour there and then when I was turning back, something caught my eyes,



The pool, which is supposed to be closed today, is filled with people. WOW! Those children are REALLY HUGE!!!

Birthdays, Food and Aunties

Isn’t those food DELICIOUS!!! Mom’s a great cook, she prepared many dishes today. We had, cockerels, lala, fish head, vegetables, chicken wing blah blah blah……. I really enjoyed myself but the catch is, I could only eat one plate of rice as there will be a futsal game later on, what a waste.

The reason mom prepared so many food is to celebrate birthdayS(note the capital “S”) for a few people. Let me introduce all of them;



Starting with (from the left) Aunty Jane, Munehneh, Aunty Sandy, Aunty Mu something(sorry forgot your name), Aunty Candy, and last but not least, Aunty Butterfly(Annie). So happen we have all of them struggling to come out of their mother’s womb on the same month of the year, August. Oh yeah, Sean wasn’t there, he was working and his birthday falls on this month too.



Look at them GO!! Poor Moose cake(I wonder if that is how you spell it), It was gone almost in an instant!!!

By the way, the meal was FABULOUS, and the cake was great too! So happy birthday to all you uncles and aunties!

Well, since those aunties have been bugging me to write about Winnie, I think I’ll do it, but just a short one! Okay, one picture will do, a picture of her eating away.



Notice how much she enjoys the food? Of course it explains why……………….(deleted)

By the way, those aunties only want me to post one thing about her. She is 23, single and still available. Anyway, this blog is not an advertising blog but I’m forced to do that or else Aunty Sandy will mutilate me.

Okay a little bit of history about Aunty Winnie. Like all the other Aunties, she studied in KBU and graduated, now working in Healthyway(is that the company?) as an assistant if I am not mistaken. Since I met her last time, she’s been a very friendly person, always daring to approach people and make new friends! She’s funny, not very tall, plum(can’t find any better word), cute(like Winnie the Pooh), LOUD!!!!!, jovial….blah blah blah blah..

Well, I would really like to write more, but I’m having this terrible headache now, maybe due to the voluptuous meal and a hectic futsal game.

By the way, I know my English is not that good, but I’ve found a way to improve myself. Every time I use a new word in a post, I’ll give a short description of the word at the end of my post. Here goes the first word;



VOLUPTUOUS = vo·lup·tu·ous

My own meaning= VOLLUP LAR!!!

By dictionary.com
Giving, characterized by, or suggesting ample, unrestrained pleasure to the senses: voluptuous sculptural forms; a voluptuous ripe fruit; a full, voluptuous figure.

• Devoted to or indulging in sensual pleasures.


• Directed toward or anticipating sensual pleasure: voluptuous thoughts.


• Arising from or contributing to the satisfaction of sensuous or sensual desires. See Synonyms at sensuous.

She doesn't like it

I woke up abit late this morning, about 11.30, took my phone and saw 2 messages. One was from Aunty Sandy(refer to previous post) and the other is the very busybody Aunty Jane. Apparently, Aunty Sandy compliment my grammar(which in fact is lousy) but at the same time, she's going to kill me for posting about her.


This was the first sms she send to me, the second wan was with a death threat! So guys/girls, should I delete my previous post?? She certainly think so. But I didn't think I did anything wrong did I? Just wrote about her and help promote her a little bit. I didn't know a simple post will stir up the "AUNTY" clans hehehe.

By the way, the second sms is much more constructive, written and sent to me by Aunty Jane;


Oh yeah, if you are wondering who is Aunty Jane, she's the one with the puffy cheeks here. By the way, she's pretty, but taken already, I mean married, so don't dream. Obviously she's very worried about the other aunties, and told me to post a similar advertisement for Aunty Winnie(which I might consider posting about later).

Anyway, this is not a blog to promote anyone arrrr, but since they've been such nice aunties, I'll definately write one for each of them(selected few actually). So, Aunty Sandy, I'll leave the previous post here first, just in case any potential future dot dot dot will come across it. Once again, if your interested to know her, message me, I should be able to give you her contact, depending on your qualifications hehehehe...

AUNTY SANDY GETS OLDER!!!(DELETED

Hattrick

It has been a long time since I write about hattrick. There are many reason why I've not write about it;

1. Hattrick supporter expired
   
2. Lost a little bit of interest
   
3. Hattrick site darn slow
   
4. Nothing interesting for me to check
   
5. Got kicked out of 6yardcup(this is a pretty lame excuse)
   
6. Players like to get kicked
   
7. Playing against stupid teams with eye for balls legs
   
8. Got flamed by the Malaysian hattrick community for trying to buy a player
   
9. Team not improving
   
10. Players improving but form dipping like crazy
    
11. Lost interest
12. (anything you can think of)
    

Oh my goodness, the list goes on and on. The one biggest most upsetting reason is reason no.7. There's is not a single line or rule in Hattrick that says we are not allowed to bid for a player. Obviously some smart fellah who claims to be so patriotic thinks so. Anyhow, hopefully that issue has been resolved and I can now bid freely without making enemies, or more enemies I shall have.

Since that day, the taste for Hattrick was a little sour. I don't log on as often, don't look forward to Fridays where the player's update shows or so forth. But surprisingly, my players have improved by leaps and bounds, just that the team is pretty much stagnant now, thanks to the sleepy head manager by the name of Jacob.

Okay, lets see how cool contact(that's my team) have improved. First of all, the player I bought 2 seasons ago, Aiman Wong, and training as a winger, seems to be getting pretty famous with the other teams. The number of injuries he's recording is amazing, minimum of 2 injuries per season, the longest being a 7 week layoff. Stupid hattrick engine, can't keep their darn hands off this player. Because of all the so called injuries, he's is now only an outstanding winger(was expecting him to be brilliant by now).

Another young winger by the name of Jiang Li Li has just surprised the club by turning titanic! Of course his performances of late has been, VERY DISSAPOINTING!

With the sales of Joe Seng Huat to his parent club, Real Alonacara(Daniel Loke), proves to be an eye opener. Seng Huat was seen performing magically in Real, performance we can never expect if he's in Contact. This proves how much players are opting for a move from the lowly cool contact. The eye opener is of course, time to change the club's name, maybe the team isn't cool enough to cope with the club's cool expectations...

With the sale of Joe, the club went hunting for a replacement, that is when all the trouble started with the Malaysian HT community. The player we targetted was involved in a conspiracy to be implanted to another Malaysian team, but then, here come contact lor, famous for causing all sorts of trouble, poke his nose into the "plan" and got fired left right centre. Because of that hor, have to go look for oversea player lor, found one handsome guy by the name of Louis Raybaudi-Massilia from dunno what masalah country. But once again, his performance? Dissapointing lar.

Whats worst is the number of injuries my players are picking up. Now, I have to make do with 3 players less, all recuperating from the countless tackles the opponents have been showering on them. In fact, our medical facilities are so good, Orestes was fined for commenting he doesn't want to continue playing. We cought him faking his injury thus there was a weeks deduction of pay, but of course this is private and confidential news, thus we cover it up with a plaster sign if you were to view it in Hattrick.

STUPID ESSIEN!!! Sorry, just heard news that Essien of Lyon is confirmed going to Chelsea. Aiyah those are the players with money flashing on both their eyes. Once again, money wins all...

HAPPY BEHDAY!!!

It's 15th of August, just another normal, hectic day for me, but then, it's a joyful day too for my family as my sister is at last 15 years of age.


Happy birthday Munehneh, don't be deceived by the looks, this cake ROCKS!!!

Dad bought her a durian cake, with very tasty sugar biscuit in between. Opps, just burp some of its stinko gas out. So, as usual, we sang birthday song but without the candles. Dad suddenly dowan us to light it up, don't ask me why! But munehneh was more than happy as she didn't want to blow candles, she usually blows for others only.


See that bluffer munehneh? Ask her to take pictures, shy shy but...


Other normal days when nobody wants to see her picture when nobody's around, she'll so willingly snap pictures of herself. Don't know how many countless pictures of herself she has snapped and now lay dormant in my HardDisk.

Sorry I digress, anyway, Dad just wanted a simple birthday celebration for her as my mom already took her out shopping spending don't know how much the whole afternoon liao (please don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous, just documenting what happened, my family treats me well too during my Bday and other days too lar).


Told you she's a bluffer. Anyway, there's one thing about munehneh that we can never overlook, her eating prowess, just look at her go! Licking the durian out of the knife....


Of course mummy couldn't wait anymore and took over the cake cutting ceremony. Look at her face! I believe she could have gobble up the whole cake, but of course, she's a caring mummy, always thinking of her other children and her loving husband.


Told you she couldn't wait! SHE WAS SUPERBLY FAST MAN!!!!!

The story after that is up to you to decipher, but of course it was a terrible warfare enjoyable.....

EPL at LAST!

Wow, after a long layout, I finally enjoyed a night out with Wes at BRJ mamak watching an intriguing match between newly promoted Wigan and money flashing idiots filthy rich Chelsea. I was fully behind Wigan, with players like Francis and Camera catching my eyes, and their quick uselessundecisive counter attack missing dunno how many darn open goal but missing many chancesdue to lack of premiership experience.


Happy Crespo scores, but look at those poor Wigan fans

Well, to be frank, I don't really like Chelsea, not because of the team, but more like because they are too filthy rich, can't blame them for that can't we? Its just that they can afford to pay 20mill for a player worth less than 10mill. Anyway, the match was very interesting, with Wigan having the better chances I would say for the first half. But, as expected, Chelsea showed once again why they are a class act by totally dominating the second half. Beside some half chances that went begging at Wigan's side, Wigan slowly faded off, until the inevitable, Crespo broke my heart during the dying moments of injury time..

Before witnessing this game, I was at home watching Arsenal against Newcastle. Of course everyone would expect Arsenal to white wash the fading Newcastle, who is lacking in strike force. Tell you what, Arsenal performed like, shit? I don't know which word I should use, but even with one man advantage, yes Jenas was sent off for a bad tackle on Gilberto, they couldn't find a way past the very robust and determined Newcastle defense. For some reason, I think Wenger's philosophy on how to manage a team is abit too old fashioned, building a team on solely around a person, Henry, who clearly isn't performing now. In fact, the game changed when Van persie and Hlep was introduced, time for a change old man.

But nomatter how dissapointing their performance might be, they won, 2-0. Another team to watch this season, MU though I dislike them I've got to admit, they are pretty impressive against Everton. No further comments.

Oh yeah, I think I've found my favourite team this season, and its no other than the lowly Wigan.

COUGH COUGH AND COUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeap it is the month of August here and guess what! I HATE THE HAZE!!! Because I hate it so much, I've decided to show some graphical prove of just how bad it has become!

Lets start with the weather about a month ago.

At that very moment, I was enjoying my little ride to college and back. Both pictures taken around 6pm in the afternoon. But then, less than a month after those lovely sunshine and humidity, here goes,


10th August 2005, Brickfields, KL

Oh my goodness, is this what we must live with? Other people's work? I browsed through some news network for news about this haze;

Haze-hit Malaysia registers unhealthy air quality in eight areas

KUALA LUMPUR-ASTANA. August 10. KAZINFORM. - Malaysia, currently hit by haze due to
forest fires in neighbouring Sumatera Indonesia, is registering unhealthy air quality status in eight areas.
The Department of Environment (DOE) expects the haze to continue for several more days, Kazinform quotes Bernama.

As of 11 am Tuesday, the KL International Airport (KLIA) registered visibility at one kilometre, but a spokesman of Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd, when contacted, said the situation did not affect flight schedules.

Several areas registered visibility of between two and four kilometres while some registered visibility of between six and seven kilometres.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Adenan Satem said the dry weather with intermittent rain in several areas on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia also did not help to reduce the haze.

"The air quality which continues to be unhealthy is caused by pollution which has crossed the border following the South-West Monsoon wind blowing from the hot spot areas in Sumatera to the west coast of peninsular Malaysia which was traced by the latest satellite images," he said.

Adenan, said if the situation deteriorated further, the government would take drastic action including giving holidays to school children and reducing working hours.

"I think it is fair to say if the situation worsens, it might be necessary to take drastic steps. I will be briefing the Cabinet on the situation Wednesday," he said.

Adenan said of the 50 air quality monitoring stations throughout the country, 36 areas registered moderate air quality while six registered good air quality status.

Yeh, we have to live with the shit from other country. I continue to browse through for some extra evidence,


Man he looks like he's enjoying it doesn't he?

Well, yeah I know, they are burning those beautiful forest down for their own living, clearning up acres of space for their small plantation that barely helps their country's economy. I understand, its hard to see how a small fire started by some farmers can cause big havoc, but let me show you some satelite image of sumatra and the hotspots they've plotted on the map;



Okay, maybe you wont be able to see anything here, but click on the picture and you'll get what I mean. Nasa has marked the "HOTSPOTS" with rectangular shapped boxes. By the way, I don't mean TMnet HOTSPOT here, trust me, you will never get a single reception by standing at those hotspots, what you'll get is just some major 3rd degree burns and if you survive, terribly sore lungs. And if you so happen invested on a fireproof backpack for your laptop, you still might get a half burnt personal lap computer for future use in the muzium.


Okay, to end on a high note, here's a picture I've just snapped;


11th August 2005, Brickfields, KL

And if you are wondering why I would want to post it again? Okay, notice the difference in date? This particular picture is taken on the 11th whereas the first picture, 10th. Want a better comparison?



10th August on the left, and 11th August on the right, these pictures are not photoshopped, it's taken by the same camera, different time.

So what say you about this blurdy haze?? My advice to you, stay away from outdoor activities, stay away from outdoor mamak stalls, and stay home or go shopping at an air-conditioned place. Drink lotsa water and better still Coke.

Pepsi? Cola?

Just had this funny thought, whats the difference between Pepsi and Coca Cola. Lets start with their logo;



So the colour differential, Blue for Pepsi and Red for Coca Cola



So the obvious difference now is the colour. I've been a big fan of those 2 highly carbonated drinks for a long time. Both taste similar yet they are different, the only similarities is, the colour, no not the colour of the logo! But the colour of the drink.

I've tried asking a few people what do they think about


"Manufactured by 2 different companies, well but if u wan to knw whether it's effective againsts haze, i tried it n it sure is great!"

Seriously, they do taste different, but how different? Beats me off, I'm not going to sip here and there like a dog trying to distinctively separate the both of them. Seriously though, I do feel that Pepsi is way more aggressive with their advertisement. They use football stars like Beckham, Roberto Carlos, blah blah and even Honkie actors and actresses....


Get what I mean with aggressive advertising?

By the way, I'm also very impressed with Coca Cola, they are not as aggressive, yet they dominate a fair share of the market with their simply logo and of course tasty drink.



Oh by the way, I've just cought hold of Pepsi's advertising strategy. It seems they've gone for a more conservative approach. I first heard of this wind from Suemitra who told me, her mom fed Pepsi with Coca Cola because of the bad weather.



There you go, let me introduce "Pepsi" who so happen, forced to drink, "Coke"

Friends?

I think this post is just a reply to my friend's post about true friends

Seriously, I don't think there's such term as "true friends". Oh just made me wonder, what does "TRUE FRIENDS" mean??

No entry found for true friends.

Did you mean reverends?
Suggestions:
reverends
reverend's
reverends'
referenda's

Okay didn't find the desired result, so now I'll search the word one by one;

Alrite, here we go, the true meaning of "true friends". By the way, I don't understand a shit what it means. For me, I've only known people I've grown close too, so let me term them, "CLOSE FRIENDS". Close friends are those who can understand you well, vice versa, someone who share light moments with you, who helps you when you're down blah blah blah. These are the type of people I call "CLOSE FRIENDS". How many do "CLOSE FRIENDS" do I have? Not many I would say, I don't what to say now, I think I've just lost one close friend.

Another category of friend I would like to introduce is, "TRUSTED FRIEND". Though they sound alike, they are not alike. Trusted friends are friends you might not be really close too, but you can trust them 100%. You can trust them as a friend, not to talk bad about you nor talk behind your back. How many trusted friends do I have? Like I say, not many too because I'm a way too sceptical person to trust anyone that easily.

So seriously, I think Wes just thinks like me, there's not many around him he's close too or he can trust wholely that's all. My advice, the only one I should be close too and trust is God.

I'M FREE!!

Yes, I'm free, as free as free Willie! To be frank, this is the worst time for me to be free, what I need is just something to keep my mind occupied with and........

Well, because of that, I've decided to read a chapter of my 3 text book a day and continue doing it till my exam. Maybe now I can take the chance to update my blog more regularly. Oh yeah, I actually forgot to post about my presentation. Well, will do it later lar, lazy to go and find all the pictures here there, post it up here there, arrange properly here there....

Seriously, I need some ideas, what should I do? Well, I did something awkward today, went to Midvalley 2 times in 2 hours and tonight I'll be going again with Wes.

Well, not that I'm a MV hogger or what, just that my dad bought a DVD of "Unleashed" and we don't know what happened but our DVD player just didn't like the disc very much. The funny thing is, our player is actually working fine, tried putting in other DVDs and it worked just fine. So I took the disc to MV, searched for the shop, asked for a replacement, told the sales girl to test it, it worked. After that, stopped by Carrefour to buy drinks. The coke is cheap there today, only RM2.05 per bottle but limited to 2 bottles per person.

Went to Meidi-ya to buy 2 pieces of my favourite bread, pizza bun and cheese with sausage bun. Was eating the bread while driving on the way home, kinda fun until I saw a traffic policeman. I don't know if it is illegal to eat while driving, so I put the bread down, wouldn't want to get stopped by some friendly Malaysian cops, or more like, I don't want to lose my buns.

Reach home about 1(opps forgot to mention I left the house at 12:30)and immediately switch on the DVD player. So dissapointed man, it didn't work again! So once again, headed off to MV again and this time decided to change to VCD instead.

The original price of the DVD is RM18.00 and the VCD for that exact same movie is RM15.00. I asked if I could get a refund of RM3 but to my horror, the sales girl replied, "Actually it is not our policy to refund money, but if you like, you can choose any other DVD that cost the same".

Hrmm, I thought for a while, really wanted to watch Unleashed, so I told her, "What if i trade in 1-on-1 the DVD for the VCD but you don't have to refund me?". Of course I had to put on a very pethetic look.

She agreed and guess what! Before I stepped out of the shop, she stopped me and gave me RM3. Hahaha, I thought I've just lost RM3, but hey, thank God. That's how it went, all the trouble to watch a movie.

Hrm, I would say, pretty good movie, "nice" story about life, yes all about life. I really can't see anyone being treated like a dog in this world, but yet again, nothing is impossible. But once again, the story has a happy ending, Danny finding a foster family who loves him despite his eerie past, and .......................please watch the movie yourself
