Malaysia vs Liverpool - 16 July 2011

It was the weekend so Liverpool fans were out in the throngs. My officemate said that he wanted to be there by 3 pm. Punyalah. The match starts at 5pm. Mesti panas.

Anak beruang pulak sudah membuta tak ingat dunia. Call-call haram tak dengar. Kononnya nak bertolak pukul 3. LRT heading to Bukit Jalil is packed to the seam. Kitaorang sumbat-sumbat jugak masuk. I think my jersey was even caught in the door. Ada pulak yang ngok tu sibuk nak marah-marah sebab orang tolak-tolak. Kak, lain kali naik helicopter sendiri pergi stadium ye. Kalau setakat naik setahun sekali, lepas tu nak marah-marah, tak payah naik. Dah tau bawak anak beranak ipar duai semua, better naik transport sendiri pergi.
Bukit Jalil was a sea of Reds! Big Bear aje yang pakai jersey Liverpool. The rest of us, dah siap berjersey Malaysian (finally). Well me and Hamstead. Auntie Chik choose to wear t-shirt Tanah Tumpah Darahku.

It was an exciting match. 9 goals! Liverpool won 6-3. But those 3 goals from Malaysia brought the whole stadium on their feet! Best gila. Syafiq Rahim scored a beautiful goal. AndSafee Sali drove home 2 more goals. Even Mr daBomb made a quick appearance and help to set up a goal.

Though our seat was not really great (we sat under the giant screen), we had a great time. Takde la rasa macam mengantuk lepas balik tengok match dengan Arsenal. The weather turns out nice after all. Dan walaupun both team were very entertaining, I'm taking my hats off to this adik burger. To me he's the unsung hero of the day. Takde dia, lapaq kebuluq semua orang!

Kumpulan Gagak Hitam

Dulu kan ada cerita famous yang ada ketua budak motor nama Farouk. Kumpulannya nama Kumpulan Gagak Hitam. Mungkin kalau ada version kumpulan tu skang, ni la rupanya

Tak sangka dulu Kumpulan Gagak Hitam adalah bekas Kumpulan Gigi Gongak. Heheheh termasuk la Tok Ayah! (Who's 74th Birthday is this month)

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH... (especially yang si cheeky bear yang highligted below)

I Went to Justin Bieber's Concert (there.. I put it in print)

Wow! I didn't blog anything in September? Punya la pemalas.

Well 2 of the 3 arnab celebrated their birthday in September. Sorang lagi in August. Happy Birthday! They got their birthday present way earlier. In April. When Justin Biebs was in town with Selena Gomez in tow.



Yes, I took the whole gang to the concert. Unfortunately Hamstead can't join because he has to stay in the hostel. We fetch the girls from Seremban, having had permission to ditch school. Dah la pergi konsert, cabut sekolah lagi. What a good example I'm showing. But this is one chance in a live time. Lepas ni Justin Biebs dah tak nak datang Malaysia... or dah tak famous dah.



We took the LRT to Stadium Negara. The whole place is already packed. Nasib hujan petang tu dah berhenti. The stage is miles away. Takde apa pun yang nampak. Amira words was.. "Kalau la kita dapat duduk kat depan sekali tu (the mosh pit in front of the stage that is packed with what looks like 500 thousands screaming girls)... tak tau macam mana nak cakap. Kita NAAKKK duduk kat depan situ". My thot was 1) Busuknya nak duduk ramai macam tu 2) Nanti tak boleh nak bernafas 3) Nanti pengsan 4) Tak kuasa nak berdiri. I'm happy where I am.

The concert started lambat sket. After Mizz Nina get the crowd going, Bieber masih tak muncul. Tapi the DJ managed to get the crowd pumped up. I don't know should I say I'm happy.. or worried that Malaysian teenagers really know how to party. Party terkawal la. At least they get to let off some steam and have fun. Even the parents pun aku tengok sama naik. Pantang DJ tu cakap apa, all I can hear is SCREAM, SCREAMMM, SCREAAMMMMMMM and SCREAM some more. Sometimes I joined in. Which is exhilarating. Harap takde siapa la pulak yang kena histeria malam tu.

Finally Justin came out. SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I have no idea what song he was singing, tapi some of it is pretty familiar. Mesti selalu on air. I keep on asking Anis ni lagu apa. Amira langsung tak boleh ditanya sebab she's either screaming, singing or in a state of disbelieve. I must say... best jugak lagu2 si Bieber ni. Ada sape-sape nak belikan saya pulak birthday present CD Justin Biebs? If the night is not on the scale of 10 yet, keluar pulak Joel Madden from Good Charlotte. Whaaatttt??? And towards the end of the concert, Justin jump down to meet the fans and get mobbed by the crowd.. or 16 year old girls. Perhaps as an apology for saying 'Hello Manila" at the begining of the concert? Hahahahahahah

The next day, internet war started between the fans from the neigbouring countries. Katanya, concert kat negara mana yang lagi best. Hahaha. The Hollywood observer made a remark that Justin was seen happiest in KL... sbb the girlfriend was in the house. Adooii lawak.

But I must say, this is one of the best concert that I have been to this year. I am now a Beliebers? (whatever that means). The next day, Amira spent 20 minutes on the phone convicing her friend that she saw Bieber last night. Hahaha.

Serbuk Harimau Kuat

Kisahnya anak-anak sedaraku yang tak pernah tengok match bola di stadium. Kitaorang memang suka pergi tengok matches yang ada Malaysia main, baik bola sepak or hoki. Dulu selalu jugak pergi dengan Bapak. Yang suka sebab nak makan burger murah je..(tapi sekarang tak murah pun).

Tiba-tiba, skuad harimau lemau dapat masuk semi-final. Main di Bukit Jalil. Since ni cuti sekolah boleh la bawak the two boys pergi. Sebab malas nak drive, naik la LRT. Budak dua ekor ni excited gila. Dalam LRT, supporters Malaysia siap berjersi dah ramai dah. Sampai kat stadium, semua ternganga sebab lagi ramai orang. Atmosphere memang best. We can feel that everyone is pumped up. Siapa-siapa yang rasa tensen tu, patut pergi tengok untuk release tension. Boleh jerit sesuka hati, takde sape nak marah. Tapi kalau team yang disokong kalah, jangan pulak jadi lagi tension.

Masuk je stadium, tu dia... Malaysia hari tu main dengan 30,011 orang. 11 atas padang, 30,000 lagi kat stand. Dah lama tak dengar orang nyanyi lagu Negaraku punya semangat.

Since the word go, the supporters memang non stop bersorak. Every ball, every pass, every ref caution, every tackle, every flagged raised, every shalala, every whoa whoa, every shing-a-ling-a-ling, semua orang cheer on. Ok la cheer with a mix of "bodoh...PASS la...aarghhh..ref buta...oiiii...gilakee...apa...benda dia BUATTT tuuuu???...crossss...croossss....adooiiii....BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

First half, score masih 0-0. Tapi lapar la pulak. Tadi eksyen tak nak beli siap-siap. Mak aiii... ramainya orang nak beli burger segala. Memang instant millionaire siapa jual burger malam tu. Mula-mula kitaorang duduk dekat goal Vietnam. So memang best dapat tengok Malaysia attack. 2nd half, pergi pulak duduk the other side. Betul-betul belakang goal.

2nd half Malaysia main pantas sikit. 1st goal score... the crowd went WILD!!! Eh.. tetiba disallowed pulak. Huh? (Ok aku rasa ni memang jahat la..) tapi, heheheh aku tak salahkan those yang baling botol kat lines man yang raised flag tu. Kuat betul tangan semua orang...boleh baling sampai ke padang. Whatever la... after that Malaysia scored another 2 goals. Tak boleh nak cerita betapa gembiranya semua orang. Baik yang kecik (macam ada adik depan kitaorang ni), sampai le ke pakcik-pakcik, makcik-makcik. Sorry la brother yang layan blues sorang-sorang depan kitaorang. Sebab aku jerit betul2 kat telinga dia. Hahahah.

Alamak! Adik ni pun pakai no 17 la... hahaha


Perasaan balik bila team menang ni lain. Semua orang senyum je. Dalam LRT pun masih lagi nak bersorak-sorak. Kesian orang-orang Betnam yang terpaksa berlakon-lakon macam orang Malaysia jugak dalam LRT tu. Everytime sampai stop, orang yang keluar cheered...orang dalam sambut... Hai, sakai jugak.


Overall, this team is pretty good. Though takde most of the main players. (Adakah ini menunjukkan the main players sebenarnya tak la berguna sangat? Erkk) The back 4 plus the keeper, I have nothing but respect. Memang depa main a tight game. Yang striker and midfield tu kadang-kadang tah apa2. Tapi stamina semua orang mmg bagus la. 90 minutes masih berlari lagi la.... So keep it up. To my surprise jersi no 17 tu main lagi. Ya salam... aku macam tercengang bila dia jadi super sub. Rupanya counterpart dia Mr Pamungkas pun still main lagi.

To Skuad Harimau Muda - may the force be with you tonight. Final ni kita orang support dari rumah je la. Hari ni kita akan pasang flag kat balcony. To those yang pergi stadium, hope everyone will be safe. Semangat-semangat jugak, tapi jangan la caught up in unnecessary fight dengan sakai-sakai yang keluar dari hutan tu.

Kepada anak-anak sedaraku, nanti kita pergi beli proper jersey. Takkan jersey Chelsea ada yang ori, jersey Malaysia nak beli yang ciplak punya.

5A, 1A, 7B are not first class seats

When I saw the sms "Beb, 5A", I was thinking ... apa ke mabuk member aku cakap pasal seat dlm kapal terbang ni. It takes a few minutes to register that it was the UPSR result that I have been nagging her to check.

Hehehe... the joy of knowing the result and messing with the boy who is scared and worried for days. "Nanti Aunty Jun jangan ketawakan saya ye kalau saya nangis". Ok aku baik sikit la.. saying somewhere along... apasal pulak nak nangis. Dah habis pun examnya. Kakak aku lagi evil la kan, "Mesti la ketawakan.. heheheh".

Congrats bro!

Anugerah Athlete Harapan katanya. Nasib dapat 5A!

"Jika kau fikirkan kau boleh, kau pasti boleh melakukan. Nanti boleh la Standing in the Eyes of the World" (Caution: Jangan Poyo!)

And.. a few days back, the same friend delivered another good news. Result PMR Hanani pulak. 1A 7B. Not bad at all! Congrats Kakak!. Memandangkan ni Xmas, nanti Santa Claus akan pergi shopping and get you something.

To my friend, your help will still be needed. Ramai lagi ni anak sedara nak exam. Heheheh. Any peace offering bills, send it my way please. Thanks beb!

And to all... Merry Xmas! Ho Ho Ho
