2012 - Half way mark

Yikes! I didn't blog anything in May? So let this, just be a short entry so that takde la kosong, May takde post. I have been away for almost (almost) a month due to work in Netherlands and short trip (ngada2) to Paris. Also spent a day over the long weekend in Belgium. Makan cokelat and waffle sampai nak muntah.

The one day in Belgium was the day Chelsea played Bayern Munich in Munich. Memang kalau boleh nak pergi Munich hore-hore in the streets of Munich. But it's an 8 hours away on train. Gila! The whole day the news was talking footie. I made it back to the hotel with 10 minutes to spare of the match. Dapat la tengok both goals. Then extra time, then Robben missed penalty, then Tigeroo missed penalty... and CHELSEA is the Europe Champions! Finally. Roberto Di Matteo is LEGEN... (wait for it) DARY! So is Drogba :)

Well Done Blues!

Now.. where can I get my hands on them jerseys/ t-shirts...

You Can Do It!

I dedicate this song to the Australia Open 4th Round match between Li Na and Kim Clijsters. Exciting match, true fighting sprit from both ladies. Kim won even when she had to strap down her ankle. With a set down, she managed to claw her way back in the 2nd set, winning a tie breaker though she was 4 points behind. Let this be an inspiration for 2012.

Lobes you, Kim!

Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer

I've been waiting on the sunset

Bills on my mindset
I can get deny theyre getting high
Higher than my income
My income's breadcrumbs
I've been trying to survive


The glow that the sun gives
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine
Oh, you'll turn out fine
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine


But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh


I know it's hard, know its hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.


I've got my hands in my pockets,
Kickin these rocks
Its kinda hard to watch this life go by.
I'm buyin in the skeptics,
Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes


I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled
I start to comprimise
My life and the purpose
Is it all worth it,
Am I gonna turn out fine?
Oh, you'll turn out fine


Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine


But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh

I know it's hard, know its hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.


Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
Its a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around again


Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again
Its a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around,


But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh
You gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh


I know it's hard, know its hard
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh


Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down

One Gold Medal to rule them all

One Gold Medal to rule them all, One Gold Medal to find them,

One Gold Medal to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

(and that One Gold is OURS! My precious...heheheh)

I take my hat off to you.

Well Done, Harimau Muda!

Malaysia vs Chelsea - 21 July 2011

3rd time is the charm? I don't think so. Dah penat! In the span of a few weeks, ada 3 match. Macam la main kan. Padahal datang setakat nak makan burger dengan kuaci aje.

\

The atmosphere is a bit different from the Liverpool match. It seems that everyone is rooting for Malaysia! A number of free tickets were given out due to poor ticket sales agaknya. So of course yang datang tu tak minat Chelsea kan. Aku je la yang lengkap berjersey bagai. Hahahah. Pun begitu, Malaysia tetap di hati!

Malaysian team were mainly consists of the Harimau Muda who played in the Sea Games. However, ada juga Harimau Tua yang part of the team. Harimau Tua semua dah tak larat nak lari ok! Chelsea won 1-0. Even the one goal was controversial. I agree that it did not cross the line!

The next day, the team was hailed as hebat banget! I disgaree. The score did not prove anything. Chelsea player hardly gave 25% on the pitch. They were sort of walking around aje. If they really played 100%, tah-tah dah 20-0. However, I give A+ for both Malaysian goalkeeper. They were excellent and made countless saves. My heart goes out to the substitute keeper when the ref awarded the goal.

Aside from the joy of  alternating between eating kuaci and yelling, my night was mared by the sounds of bubuzela right in my ears! GERAMMMNYA! Aku rasa yang dok tiup tu memang dah pekak, sebab tu telinga dia tak pecah. Mula-mula it was just bebudak terjal belakang aku ni, sekali tu tengok ada this guy who looks like his the pillar of society with 3 kids in tow yang dok wholeheartedly meniup benda tu.

OMG! Bro, lu APA HAL? Dulu masa sekolah teringin ke nak masuk band main trumpet tapi tak dapat ke? Bro lu memang berhutang darah dengan gua. Kalau gua tahu lu duduk mana, memang gua beli bubuzela tu hantar rumah abang. Anak kau, sorang satu aku belikan. Semoga depa main kat rumah hari-hari, especially bila lu nak tido. Padan muka lu, Bro! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

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!

Malaysia vs Arsenal - 13 July 2011

Malaysia lost 4-0 to Arsenal. There was even a penalty for Arsenal. The game was boring. Except for the 5 minutes, before the game where everyone happily did the Mexican wave. We actually left early with 15 minutes to spare. Hahaha memang gagal!

Hearts Breaking Even - Bon Jovi

It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
And I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name, run away, cause it's all in vain

My heart's breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died
Both got our reasons, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But, nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away , before it's too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains , we remain,
No one left to blame

My heart's breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died
Both got our reasons, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

Go on, get on with your life, Yeah - I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again


My heart's breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died
Both got our reasons, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's alright, just two hearts breaking even tonight

yeah
yeah

Oh I'm going, gonna walk out the door
Saying you don't care for me anymore
That's alright, just two hearts breaking even tonight

I feel like singing this song after Harimau Malaya's elimination from the World Cup 2014 qualifier by the old lions. Harimau Malaya, all I can say is work harder next time. And I salute the Malaysian Goalkeeper.(Apek pakai jersey hijau macam Green Lantern la!)

What's going on?

Entah...

I've been so out of touch with everything. The hell week is over. Hopefully next week tak seteruk this week. Yeah I know orang lain ini la minggu bersuka ria. Not for me it ain't. Enough about work.

Now catching up on the sports front.

1. Aussie Open - Yeay Kim wins again. Finally an Aussie Title for her.


Going into the match, tak tau nak sokong siapa sebab excited jugak an Asian finally gets into a Grand Slam final. Dah la Li Na ni dah kalahkan Kim the last time they met. Nail bitting moments all the way. Better luck next time Li Na. I lobes your speech :) I thot it was rather sweet in non cheesy way whatsoever.



2. Andy still not winning a Grand Slam :(.. tell me quando, quando, quando Andy ooiii.



3. Chelsea is fourth on the table - WTF? WTF? WTF? I haven't catch a single match of them yet. Punya la lost interest.

4. Namun, dalam ke'WTF'an, tiba-tiba Tico Torres moved to Chelsea :)



And, to unrest in Eygpt, I hope peace will prevail and the Malaysians over there are safe and arrives home soon.

What's Going On - Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

2010 - In Reflection

The thing is that... I can't recall anything that I would like to reflect upon. My mind is still reeling with Malaysia winning the AFF Suzuki Cup. It will never get old, I tell you.


This is definitely my favorite moment in sports this year. Terbaaekkkk!

So instead, I just want to wish everyone a great 2011 ahead.

I shall conclude 2010, with this song...sebab Bon Jovi Live at Madison Square Garden is on 711, and they are playing this song. It's da bomb. May one day (in 2011 harapnya :)) dapatlah tengok depa ni live in action.

In These Arms - Bon Jovi

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn as fire, yeah
Until the end of time

And I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight

Baby, I want you
Like the roses want the rain
You know I need you
Like the poet needs the pain

And I would give anything
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold you, I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms

I'd love you, I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'll never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight, oh yeah

We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world
Would never blind us

And these were our words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
And I still believe
If you were in these arms

I'd hold you, I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms

I'd love you, I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

Your clothes are still scattered all over our room
This whole place still smells like your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
There's nothing I wouldn't do

And these were our words
They keep me strong, baby

I'd hold you, I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms

I'd love you, I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms, baby

Like the roses need the rain
Like the singles need to change
Like the poets need the pain
I need you in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight

Harimau Malaya - Champions!

Well Done Malaysia! Finally a team that brought the fans back to the stadium, a team that we can be proud of. May the young players continue to be level headed and keep this momentum going. Malaysia memang BOLEH!

(err...Say NO to any Kuda Tua or Double Prancing Pansies from now on, please!)

Beam Me Up, Scotty

Laser beam pun jadi issue. Kalau nak kalah tu kalah jugak. Read here

Lain kali pakai ray ban macam Cyclop ni ....

....supaya boleh concentrate main bola and tak jadi pusing macam ni.....

....tapi kalau dah malu sebab kalah tu, boleh la buat macam ni....

Wohhhooooo... ok la aku agree stop it with the lasers if it's going to kill the match's momentum. Tapi on the other hand, being pro footballers... itu pun boleh jadi distraction ke? IN YOUR FACE! Ambik kau, lepas berlagak nak walk off, kena 3 biji. Terbaeekk wa cakap lu.

Oh pembetulan, yang main ni bukan la 100% Harimau Muda. Tapi memang muda belaka la semua orang. Paling tua, no surprise no 17. So skuad ni Harimau Malaya. Iyolah.

Kudos tu no 9. He's a great playmaker. Paling tak tahan sebab muka dia selamba. Also kudos tu substitute no 26. Sorry la gelakkan janggut sejemput awak tu. Gol tu memang cun. Pendek kata, kudos la semua orang sebab tak menghampakan. Tak terkata semalam. Jerit, melompat, tergolek, terajang semua ada. Yang pasti, akak bangga uols sebab tak sia-sia letak Jalur Gemilang kat balkoni rumah.

Ha, untuk 2nd leg ni. Sila behave ok. Baca here. Kang main kat Bukit Jalil lagi, satu KL pergi kang langsung tak dapat tengok.

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.

Just whizzed by

In the excitement of spending the corporate card out in the desert, I just realized that I may have missed out a few interesting things that had happened these few months

1. Roger Federer is no longer No 1. Say whhaattt? And I just got his cap for my birthday!


2. 11 hour Wimbeldon match between Isner vs Mahut . Check out here

3. Kim beat the evil forces again at Wimbledon. Check out here

4. Chelsea won 2 of their opening matches with 6-0 thrashing! Yeay. Check out here

5. Cantik Tertarik Kau Memang da Bomb is now donning a red jersey. And he was red carded in his first match. And he missed a penalty. Arghhh...Dude, you're killing me!!!

6. Ricardo Carvalho has moved to Real. Sayy Whaaaattt?? :( Check out here

7. In F1 (which I have totally lost the plot), Mark Webber is leading the pack. Whot?

8. And... the one that I have been waiting, wishing and hoping for, finally did happen. It's just that I'm not there to enjoy it :( I suppose God has a better plan for me than the Local Boy in The Photograph :) Read more about it, here

~ Special shout out to my Gal Pal: "Beb, when shit hits the fan: Keep Calm and Carry On" ~

Kim Possible defeats evil forces!

Yeay! She who should not come back to play has lost to Kim Possible. Suka. Suka. Just a question though, kenapa la takde live telecast? And more important, kenapa aku tak pergi Brisbane and watch this? That's it... next year nak kumpul duit and see if can get tickets. Wahai pokok duit berilah harapan kepadaku.

Read more about the match here

2010 will be a great season yet!

Rangkuman Sukan Minggu Ini

Rushed update. This is important (kononnya)


1. Soccer Front:

Manure was thrashed! Yippee. But Chelsea managed a draw only. Haih. What a killjoy.

Anyhoo, more importantly, Malaysia won gold in Sea Games Football. The long awaited Gold. 20 tahun katanya. Last time it was in 1989 in KL. I remember watching it... but can't remember who and how Malaysia won. Ye la .. masa tu baru 5 tahun.. mana nak ingat. Hahahah

Well, Malaysia beat Vietname 1-0 with an own goal? Sloppy goal or not, cheap shot or not, we won. Habis cerita! Well done boys. I hope you guys don't come back and once owning pieces of land, Datukship, Hondas, GTIs, BMWs... and totally forgot how to play footie.

I was in Singapore, watched the game live on RTM2... on the hotel bed, under the cover, while eating Murtabak dari Victory. Ha mmg victory pun :)

2. F1 front

I thot things are not going to be exciting at all next season. But Lo and Behold. I saw the news today and made me sat up. What? Petronas is sponsoring Mercedes GP? The winning Brawn GP team? The winning Brawn GP team with Ross Brawn as the team's principal? Even more interesting, Michael Schumacher has signed up as their driver. If this is not a winning recipe, I don't know what is. This will be like Ferarri days... minus the scarlett prancing horse that is. More rumors miling... maybe Heidfeld will get the 2nd driver's seat (or maybe Kubica or Nico Rosberg). Oh my... suddenly I feel like purchasing the F1 ticket now for I have a team to support. Hehehe... new merchandise to be bought - Mercedes GP Petronas FI team. (It's official. Check out their website)

But wait a second... the plot thickens. Apa hal pulak with Malaysia One Malaysia's F1 team with Lotus? Why the heck Malaysia brand is not sponsoring a Malaysia team? Scandal. Shock. Confused. As a patrotic Malaysian who does not vote but pay taxes, I strongly believe that Malaysian brand should support Malaysian team. But then again, the other part of me is thinking, if you're gonna blow your money... at least put it somewhere that has a chance of winning. I wish team Lotus Malaysia F1 the very best. I do hope you prove me wrong. But jangan marah, next season I will be wearing Silver and Blue Turqoise or Green.. or what ever it is.

To Mr Button. Pi rah mabuk. I would like to let you know that I have thrown away your Button Up t-shirt as it has been stained and it's not removable. I have no remorse at all saying good bye to it. Or to you.

Good bye and Good Nite!

Bulan Birthday

So many birthdays this month.

To start of with, sahabat lama who celebrated her birthday on 6th Nov. We celebrated her birthday with a karaoke session and movie - Pisau Cukur. Sungguh menyeronokkan. Memandangkan gambar-gambar mungkin akan digunakan sebagai bahan bukti aku tak letak la gambar-gambar kat sini. Semuanya ala Oh My Dior! Ladies, I shall post it on FB with tight security (...that is till I figure how to do it). So aku letak la gambar K Melah to remind us what song we sang that day. (errr yes I know you all prefer gambar ek ah ek ah.. tapi gambo ni je yang aku ada dalam pc ni)

To Buk Tini, semoga panjang umur murah rezeki (agar boleh berkaraoke lagi bebila free) and semoga satu hari dapat la beli beg Dior idaman... boleh la Oh My Dior for real!

Next, is dad birthday on the 8th. He would be 72. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. I found this old photo in which he looks ceria, gemuk and sihat walafiat. We shall always remember him this way :). Next to him is the cheeky Anees, who insisted nak pergi tengok simpool (translated swimming pool)... "Boleh tak kita nak pergi simpool. Kita nak cecah kaki kita aje"



Also celebrating on the 8th is si Cantik Tertarik Kau Memang da Bomb! And what a birthday gift - Chelsea beats Manure. (Read here). Joe Cole was featured in the match. Ok la.. he didn't score any of the goals, but he did score one over last weekend against Wolves. Yipeeee

On the 19th, it's Fares' Birthday. We got free tickets to watch Astro Boy! He also got goodie bag from Era coz it's his birthday. Hehehe.. I also found this old photo of him. Habis cool la ni. Check out the little bear on his lap. That was his pet teddy bear for a while.. he would bring it everywhere! Hahahahahah... hahahahahahahahahah.... Bro, Happy Birthday! You are officially a teenage mutant ninja boy!

19th is also my cousin's birthday. And I think 20th is someone's birthday. Perhaps my cousin as well. And I know 28th is my aunt's birthday. We might surprise her with a cake. Tapi aku belum order lagi :P

Sports update: Jensen Button will be joining McLaren next season. Am disapointed in you Button! (but for double salary I suppose I would sell my soul as well :( )

Rangkuman Sukan Minggu Ini

1. F1 Update:

I love this picture! It shows the little outfit that can. It shows that anything is possible. One day you are out of F1 with no team, one day you're the Champ. Doesn't mean that when you're down, you can't stand back up. Ross Brawn is indeniable a genius, having to put a team and a winning car despite it's new team and smaller budget compared to the big boys team. But it's still take a champ like Jenson to drive and win all those races. Kudos! (And I do hope, Jensen doesn't leave Brawn for McLaren, to join Hamilton, to make it an all British team.. bosan ah!)

This year, I found F1 boring with all the teams going out of business. And the never ending controversies which leads to Nelson Piquet Jr now racing in Indy 500 - Truck version, whatever that is like and the eijit who left Heidi Klum is now ban from F1 (padan muka kau!). Malaysia on the other hand feels that Sungai Klang, Sungai Pahang and Sungai Batang Ai is full of oil and gold, will put up a team for next season. All ex-BMW (Bas Mini Wilayah) driver should be considered as the team drivers. God help us all. Malaysia memang BOLEH :)

2. Footie Update:

Liverpool 2 - Manure 0 (Read here). Enough said. In your face! I don't care much about the game except for one thing, the loss enables the Blues to be the top of the table. YIPEEEEEEEEE. And guess who's back in the starting line up? DOUBLE YIPPPPEEEEEEEE.

heheh... no, not them... but, si Cantik Menarik Tertarik Kau Memang da Bomb is back. He almost scored a goal in the first minute as well:

3. Tennis:

I think there's some Masters tengah on going. But nothing much grab my attention except 2 things. a) She who must not be named confirmed she will be back next year starting with a tourney just before Aussie Open. BENCI. and b) regarding Wozniacki. Now that she's my 2nd favorite player, I find this news.. macam kelakar yet kesian, she's being probbed being involved in betting. I hope she gets the clear. Read here

4. Lain -lain

The Malaysian pair won in the double's men title in Denmark. Rossi is named the new World Champion, after completing race in Malaysia :)

5. Lagi lain-lain

Nothing to do with sport, just some marathon that I was in. I just spend the whole Saturday completing a marathon of season 2 of Dirty Sexy Money, only to discover the show was cancelled after the 2nd season. Ini adalah contoh perkara-perkara yang membuatkan saya hendak melantik seseorang sebagai Gabenor Pulau Kebabian terbaru. Tapi siapa? Sighhhh. So if anyone feel like to waste their life and get a mindless but entertaining fun, you may borrow the DVDs from me.

6. Any other business

Beyonce is still not coming to Malaysia. I should have been blogging about the concert, but instead I blog about this.

Drat.

Double Drat.

Game, set, match

After waiting the whole weekend for the rain to stop, finally the US Open got going again. I don't want to discuss what went on in the semis. Let's save that for another time. Let's focus on the top story of the day.

Kim Clijsters after 2 years out of the tournament, only played 3 tour, got a wild card, beat the two William sisters, beat the odds and won the US Open! When she played the semis against Serena, I can see that this is a new and improved Kim. Able to score aces, making great shots and seems composed and focused.

Come the finals, I'm confident that she could win this easy. However, 4 sets into the match, I was thinking... shit, she's gonna tanked this as she have done all these years. Serve sangkut, nak main volley tapi net shot macam taik. Lucky my neighbour tak panggil polis sebab dengar aku sumpah seranah pagi-pagi buta.

I have great respect against Wozniacki, because she seems not to be impressed nor scared of Kim's decorated experience. She even had a couple of face to face encountered at the net with Clijsters, which she won everytime. Muka selamba je.

Finally... something in Clijsters clicked and she was backed to her 'improved' self. She won the 1st set, and played the 2nd set with more composure. Finally, it's the finally set.. the final point.. she was waiting to hit the return from Wozniacki at the net... I screamed... slow slow bongokkkk.... she smashed the ball over and.. game over! She cried... akak pun rasa mcm nak cried jugak. OMGGGG!! finally she played like she owned it.

Congrats Kim Possible!

40 - L'oeuf

It is said that the term zero or love is derived from the French word "l"oeuf", the egg, which symbolizes: nothing. Hmm interesting.

The US Open is well on it's way which some big names already out. Since my fav choice in men's single (Andy Murray) sudah bungkus dihantar balik ke Scotland, I'm focusing on the ladies single title more. And boy, it's vair vair exciting (though the number one seeded juga telah dipacked macam kek and dihantar balik ke tempat asalnya).

Matches not to be missed:

Quaterfinals: Oudin, the sudden US sweetheart/Girl Wonder vs Wozniacki- former Junior Wimbeldon champion, who beat Svetlana 'The Bosan' Knuznetsova yesterday. It was a thrilling 3 set match, which Wozniacki bounce back with winning the last 2 sets with a tie-breaker. Hence the picture below:

I got in late to the office, watching this and there's no parking. Tapi it's all worth it! I haven't seen Oudin play but her route to the Quaterfinals was not easy, having to beat from Sharapova to Dementieva to Petrova. That is really something for an unseeded player! I have no idea who's playing the other quaterfinals, but I sure hope that either Oudin or Wozniacki will win the semis and be in the finals.

So should they win, who will they have to face in the finals? Here's my favourite part, either


or


My vote is for Clijsters of course! After two years of absense from the pro circuit, she made a comeback and even beat Venus Williams. She seems more agile and athletic than she was when she won the US Open back in 2005. May this year be your year, Kim Possible :)

Ohh.. also keep a watch for this dude (John Isner) in the future, whom I cheered on like hell, while he beat Andy Roddick in 5 sets with a tie breaker. Gila berdebar-debar. Kesian Roddick...

With that, I thank you!

On that note, the footie season for 2008/2009 is closed. Let's not bring up the village idiot story again. Let's see what I like about the season

1. Chelsea won the FA Cup. 2-1 against Everton. The first silverware since 2007. YEAYYYY!

2. Yummy coach! Around of applause for this young and talented guy. Champions League winner under his belt and he's not even 40.

3. Looking at these pictures, just because... hahahahha (evil laugh!)

4. Though the season is over... this means that the new season is coming soon. And hopefully... si Cantik Menarik Kau Memang da Bomb who's out injured half of this season...

is out and about...

and will return next season with more fire and zest!
