My Verdicts..

This week, on Barclays Premier League - Week 3 - My verdict for the matches this week. Umm. Do bear in mind that I'm no expert though. Again, it's just my opinion.

Bolton vs Westbrom
Bolton has just completed the signing of Polish striker Ebi Smolarek from Spanish club Racing Santander on loan. He will not feature tonight though.

Defeat to Newcastle will surely push Bolton for victory against a newly promoted side who has yet to win. Defeat once again for Westbrom will surely push them towards the bottom. Although it's still very early in the season, getting wins are vital. Not getting them will prove costly.

Bolton 2 - 0 Westbrom

Hull City - Wigan
Sitting on fourth position, Hull City is the only newly promoted side that has yet to be defeated. Impressive start so far in the league, winning their opening game against Fulham, and taking a point of Blackburn shows that Hull City have no intention of going back to the Championship. Wigan, however, has no points to show so far. Beating by a Deco freekick in their last match, they will surely want to pick up some points. Doing so away from home against Hull might ignite their season.

Hull City 1-1 Wigan

Middlesbrough vs Stoke City
The image of Steven Gerrard scoring that last-minute belter against them must be still haunting them. Boro has played very well, and yet to sunk like that will sure hurt. And Stoke might have to be prepared to face their warth. Middlesbrough might have to watch out too though - Stoke also won their last match by a last-goal. Fingers cross it will happen again.

Middlesbrough 2-0 Stoke City

West Ham vs Blackburn
West Ham comes into this match being crushed previously by Manchester City with a scoreline of 3-0. Alan Curbishley remains the favourite to be sacked first. He will need his team to beat a Blackburn side who let slip the chance to maintain their 100% record when they drew Hull City. Paul Ince is doing great so far, and surely he will be fired up to continue having a good start.

West Ham 2-1 Blackburn

Arsenal vs Newcastle
Arsenal will be delighted with the return of Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, and will also be boosted by their midweek Champions League qualifying victory over Dutch side FC Twente, which they won 4-0. Arsenal will, however, be facing a Newcastle side rejuvenated with the return in goal-scoring form of club captain Michael Owen, which Newcastle will be banking on tonight to give Arsenal their second consecutive defeat.

Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

Everton vs Porstmouth
Porstmouth has already faced two of the Big Four. Defeats, and without scoring a single goal, Porstmouth can now start to look forward to collect points. The lose of Croation playmaker Niko Kranjar will be a blow to Harry Reknapp's side.
Everton has completed the signing of Louis Saha from Manchester United, but will be banking on Mikel Arteta and Aiyenbeni Yakubu for the goals tonight.

Everton 1-1 Porstmouth

Chelsea vs Tottenham
What a time for Spurs to face the Blues. Two consecutive defeats, and the Berbatov saga still not resolved, Spurs are going to need something to end Chelsea's unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge tonight. Chelsea meanwhile, having sold two players back to where they came from - Shaun Wright Philips to Manchester City, and Andriy Shevchenko to AC Milan - will once again be looking to Deco, who has scored two goals in as many matches so far. Petr Cech will also be looking to continue his good form in keeping clean sheets.

Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham

Sunderland vs Manchester City
Sunderland will be the team to watch this season. With the many signings that they have made - West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand being the latest addition - Roy Keane has surely made his message clear, that is Sunderland will not being relegation candidates anymore. With the addition to their strike force in Djibril Cisse and David Healy, the Black Cats are going to go all out for their first home victory against a weary looking City side who had to go all the way to the shootouts to win their UEFA Cup tie. However, City will be buoyant by their big win over the Hammers last week, and will again look to Brazilian Elano for inspiration.

Sunderland 2-1 Manchester City

Aston Villa - Liverpool
Villa will look to Liverpool's summer target Gareth Barry to bring the Reds downfall on Sunday. The England international, who wanted to leave Villa for Liverpool to play in the Champions League, will now lead Villa to victory, as they will want to redeem themselves for that last-minute defeat to Stoke last week. Also, qualifying for the UEFA Cup will surely boost Villa's team spirit.
Liverpool are not at their best at the moment, despite having won all their games so far, and conceding only a goal. With the injury to talisman, captain and match-winner-against-Boro Steven Gerrard, the return of Argentinian Olympic gold-winning medalist Javier Mascherano and Brazilian Lucas Leiva will help tighten up Liverpool's midfield. Liverpool will be hoping once again that the partnership of Torres and Keane will bear fruit. Defeat will spell disaster for the Reds.

Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool

Ps - The match between Manchester United and Fulham is postponed, due to United's involvement in the European Super Cup, which United lost 2-1 to Zenit St. Petersburg.

Till then, I'll see you at the Kop end.. =)

I lost my phone..

I lost my phone. How sad. It's a Nokia 3315, dark blue, given to me by my sister. It was the first phone I had, and it's gone. SAD. Yeah, it's a cheap phone, SO WHAT? It served me well, that's whats most important. Although it's battery is a bit crazy - it goes out when either someone is calling, or you are calling someone - but heck, IT'S A PHONE. The number 016-5385021 will no more be of use. I'll have to messege people usng my 017. How pathetic. I want it back! What's the reason of having two numbers? It's so that the burden will not be so heavy on the other! Yeah, it may not make sense to you, but when you have a lot of people using Digi.. Well.. You get the idea. Ish

I WANT IT BACK. Jack tried calling my phone, but he couldn't get through. Two possibilities : Either it dropped and spoiled, or someone took out the sim card inside and used my phone. Knowing my phone, it doesn't spoil that easily. So it must be the second possibility! Whoever that dumbass is, having my phone right now, please freaking return it to me! I don't care how you do it, give it back to me!

I'm tired.

It's that time again...

It's a beautiful Saturday morning, time being 11:42am, and yours truely is sitting in front of his computer, typing this blog out, with his Linguistic notes in front of him as well.. Wait.. What in the animal kingdom is he doing here?!

Well, hence the title of this blog, "It's that time again" refers to.. The final exam! Yes, it has come once again. After 14 weeks of suffering, doing assignments and preparing presentation, the final part of this semester has finally come. It's the time where students turn to their books, keep their heads down and focused, trying their best to absorb whatever they can, even though their brain RAM is not that big. It's also the time where students are busy doing notes, making them colourful, or as neat as possible. Typical. I do the same. G_G

Well, the question of why I'm still here is because going back will not help me in my studying. One thing about going back to Ipoh - there are things to do. There is also distraction, unwanted and unnecessary distraction. Imagine if I go back during my study week. My mom will ask me to help her do errands, my grandma will piss me till no end, I will have no Internet of computer to use, which will waste the money which I have paid for the Internet bill (so not worth it). There are many other factors which I will not go into detail, but going back to Ipoh means distraction. I'll have you know, that is the last thing I want.

I need total focus.

Anwar is MP.. and SHIT he is..

Wau.. So it's happening. The first step of Anwar towards becoming Prime Minister on 916 - September 16. He was won the Permatang Pauh by-elections two days ago, and today has taken the sworn-in, which will see him being the leader of the Opposition.


What will happen to Malaysia in the future? The future of Barisan Nasional doesn't look good; judging by the among of votes won by Anwar, well.. Even though many say his victory was expected, and also, Permatang Pauh was his "territory". Even the current Prime Minister was not suprise; he's confident about overcoming Anwar. Hmm.. Not like Pak Lah.


I have heard of people saying that, if this is towards a change in government for Malaysia, this is the chance. The time has come. Letting the Opposition take over means a total "makeover" in people in the House. By then MCA will no longer be important, but DAP.


For me, I fear for the future of Malaysia. It's like, the devil is going to take the top seat, which is being PM. Sorry, but I'm not going to take back my words. Anwar is like a devil to me. Innocent on the outside, but with other intentions in the heart. Yeah, he might be smarter now, in terms of keeping a low profile, but all the more that makes him look like devil. He's like a stalker to the current government, wanting to haunt back the people of caused him a place in jail. Some say that he was sent to prison on purpose, but who knows, what if Dr M had a purpose for it? Imagine if he was not sent to prison. Anwar will be PM now. zZz =.=


Many say that Anwar will be a threat to the government, Pak Lah in particular. Dr M said that once Anwar comes back to the parliment, Anwar will make life difficult for Pak Lah. Even more, by claiming that Anwar can "convince the devil to follow him". Wao.. What a statement.

I do not know what to trust now. I do not know whether to be happy that Anwar is MP or not. I do not know if I can welcome him to become PM - that's IF HE EVER BECOMES ONE. Sounds impossible to me, judging by what is going on now between PAS and DAP. PAS has a mission to make Malaysia to become a totally Islamic nation, and DAP is like, TOTALLY against that idea. Worst of all, PKR is in the middle of it, trying to balance it. Even if Opposition rules the nation, it will be unstable surely.

Yet at the same time, well.. This is what I hear from my dad. Pak Lah is WEAK. Totally WEAK. So feeble till his officer has made themselves 'King". How was he chosen the PM I do not know. Though he has his own was of doing things, like how he took the train service on his own, and "felt" for the people. However, that is different. Letting your officers make decision and cause chaos is certainly not ideal at all. Well, for my dad's case, it has caused problema already. Probably explains why BN did not win so convincingly after all.

The next and upcoming general election will be very interesting. If things remain as it is, meaning Anwar is still Leader of Opposition, certainly something will give in 2013 elections. Only way for Pak Lah to convince us that BN is better - Be "stronger". =)

ME and My Coursemates...

How should I begin this? I seriously do not know. It's just.. Happy. Yeah. God given happiness. One of its kind. Words could not express how I feel right now.

It's different from my foundation year. Not even during my first semester did I become firm friendster with my foundation mates at that time. Only a few. Not even half. Sad. Isn't that pathetic?

Yet, in my first semester in degree, I found out that I enjoyed the company of my coursemates more than I did during my foundation year. It's just simply that. Nothing more. Man, during my foundation, I barely even talk to half of my class. Worst of all, the people that I knew better were people outside my class! Heck! Yeah, you may say, "your course is small, of course you get to know everyone better." I'd call that bullshit. No reason for it. It's just PLAIN BULLSHIT.

Man, the people in this course are so much nicer, seriously. I am TOTALLY SPEECHLESS. Mou Ye Gong. UNDERSTAND?

Here is to my beloved coursemates!

IT'S OVER! For the moment...

It's finally over! I don't believe it, but it's over. Well, what I am talking about here is the assignments and presentation. It just finished yesterday, the last being PM. I was suppose to post this yesterday, but felt lazy. So here I am.. yeah..


Just want to share about the last assignment in particular, which was PM. My group started this assignment quite late. I mean, dateline is on Monday(25 August) and we only started it on Friday(22 August). Rushed everything like crazy.


This assignment has two parts : Part A and Part B. I assignment two of my other groupmates, Subatra and Wai Fong, to do part B, meaning me and Hannah will take part A. However, when I started part A, Hannah couldn't do her part because she was not feeling well. I accepted that, and ended up doing the entire part A myself. I then decided to send Hannah to help my mates in part B.


Weekend past, and came Monday. Nothing was finalised, nothing was complete, NOTHING. Slides were not done, part B needed more pages.. Well, we decided to try our best and do everything on the eve of Monday. Ended up doing the work till about 5am in the morning. Slept a bit. Woke up at 8. Got going again.


Went to UTAR. Attended all the classes despite saying I want to skip some of them. Well, it couldn't be helped I guess. Even then, my group still managed to find time to organise everything that we need to organise. Assignment was, at long last, printed, and handed up. Time for presentation.

It turn out to be good.. I mean, so much for last minute preparation. Scored quite well too. However, I do hope that there will never be another last minute work again. This one is too last minute. God has surely blessed my group. All Glory to Him!

BPL review..

Haha.. My turn to give Premiership reviews. One thing bad about me though : I don't watch 'em. Not a single match, I'll have you know. All the reviews I'm about to give are just based on opinions, results, and what I hear. So here goes..

Team(s) of the week:
1) Stoke City - Registered their first win of the season in some style. Despite a fightback from Villa, Stoke never gave up, and won in the end. Left it till the last minute, before Mamady Sidibe scored the decisive goal.
2) Fulham - You'd never expect Arsenal to get beaten at this early stage of the league. It's only their 2nd game, and they have already suffered a defeat. Hangeland scored the winning goal, giving The Cottages their first victory. Bit of shocking. Umm. Credit to Fulham.
3) Liverpool - You may find this choice weird, but credit to the boys in red. Falling behind to a wonder strike by substitute Mido, they fought their way back to victory. And leaving it till the last minute as well. Well.. Need me to tell you who scored it? Keep reading.

Player of the Week - It has to be Steven Gerrard. What a way, and what a time to win the game for the Reds. Criticised for lack of fitness, scoring the match winner will surely lift some doubts about that. Once again, Captain Fantastic saving Liverpool when it matters most. Haa.. Did I tell you he scored in front of the Kop?
Score it like Gerrard : Very Simple. First of all, you lift up your legs...

Then you move your legs towards the ball, and make the ball move towards goal in a speed of light...


Then you go crazy..










Note - I'm sure by now Middlesbrough, and Liverpool fans as well, will always remember Gerrard for the goals he scored against 'Boro the past few seasons. Haa.. Did I tell you all the goals Gerrard scored against 'Boro during the past few seasons were also at the Kop end? Weird isn't it? Not sure if coincident is the right word.. ZzZ Think by now 'Boro will be SO SICK OF HIM scoring against them..
Commendator: "Aurelio, too strong and too focus. Lift it to El Zhar. El Zhar to Alonso.. Cross it into the area. Not a good clearence, and it falls for Gerrard...! He has won it for Liverpool!... *pause* All the prematch talk was about the Spaniard Fernando Torres, but it's the Scousers Carragher and Gerrard who has done it! How many times, has Gerrard won it for Liverpool.."
Highlight
Season 05-06
Gerrard scoring a stunning goal right into the right side top corner of the net. One of the great goals.
Season o6-o7
Gerrard scored yet another stunning goal, the same side, only this, it's a the bottom corner, to open the scoring of the game. It also took Gerrard into double figures for that season.
Season 07-08 - Totally dominated by El Nino.

Scoring-against-Spurs-on-debut Award: Djibril Cisse
What an award this is. Scoring twice on debuts, and coincidently, both against Spurs, France international Djibril Cisse haas surely made his name at White Hart Lane for scoring against Tottenham, not scoring FOR Tottenham. Weird isn't it? However, you better believe it. When he made his debut for Liverpool, he scored against Tottenham to tie things up, denying Spurs victory. Four years after that, he has returned, this time signing for Sunderland on loan from French club Marseille. Hence the name of the award, he scored against Spurs on his Sunderland debut, only this time, he won it for Sunderland. Final score: Tottenham 1 Sunderland 2

Ps - This is Tottenham's second consecutive defeat, after the opening day defeat to Middlesbrough, which also ended 2-1.

Hmm.. Think that is it for the moment. Oo yeah, forgotten to add.. Manchester City beat West Ham United with an imoressive 3-0 scoreline. Surely Hughes is doing something to lift City up. Elano double, with Sturridge opening the scoring.

Here again..

*Currently playing - This Is Our God*

Back after a good weekend in Ipoh. Spend the entire Saturday doing PM. Sick of it, but heck.. Wanted to post something that day, but then decided against it in the end. Week 14 now.. One more week before the study leave, and two more weeks before our first paper, Phonetics and Phonology.

Saturday - Went back early in the morning as I'm having practise for Ming for 3rd service. Practise started at 9a.m, because the church was going to hold a wedding. As usual, Ming's new style: Pray before practising. In the end, we did not get to practise much because we prayed longer than expected. Still managed to pull it off in the end, and on Sunday, did well! Praise God. This is what they call "having faith".

Tomorrow is presentation and assignment dateline for PM.. Then after that, free! For a while.. Still, I want to enjoy it! Lol.. Do not know how to though. Ahh.. Fret not though. Will think of something..

Steven Gerrard scored a last-grasp winner against 'Boro! Woohoo! Watch the highlights. Jengxx.. Great goal, and great effort as well. This puts Liverpool second, after Chelski beat Wigan 1-0, thanks to a 4th minute goal by Deco. Other results, some bit shocking.

Stoke City vs Aston Villa 3-2
Blackburn vs Hull City 1-1
Newcastle vs Bolton 1-0
Tottenhan vs Sunderland 1-2
WBA vs Everton 1-2
Fulham vs Arsenal 1-0

Anyway, I have been going crazy over Hillsong's new album "This Is Our God". It's a nice album, as always, from the talented people created by God, placed in Australia. Haha.. Go listen to it.

Crazy...

I'm feeling crazy, so I want to do something crazy, but i cant show you that I'm doing it, so I put my favourite picture to show you how crazy I am.

Or is this being silly? You decide. I rest my case.



Calvin and Hobbes at their best...

Lazy... ZzZ

It's a Friday
Crying out loud
Lazy
Gracious me
One more assignment to do
Pengajian Malaysia
Ish
What the heck
No mood
Everyone is enjoying themselves
Or are able to start studying already
Crap
What a drag this is
But I can't make this a drag for me
I'm not the only one struggling
My groupmates are as well
I cant leave them alone
And there are groups from CH
having the same thing
This is the last hurdle
in terms of assignment
and presentation
Tired and exhausted I may be
But perseverence is the key
After this
It's totally all over
Though come the Finals
Still...
Procrastination must leave
For with God all things are possible



Ps - With Everything, We will shout for Your Glory and Fame!

First Sem Summary...

My first semester in degree has almost come to an end. How fast time flies, cliche. It has been some journey though. Not only the subject. The social life.

First of all, the class, or should I say course, was small. It only consisted about 30 plus people at first.. Well, in the end, it still consist of 30 plus people. That wasn't the only problem. The next problem that I found out was, THERE ARE ONLY FOUR FREAKING GUYS (including me)! I couldn't believe it! I was like, "what the...!" Crap.. Ok.. I said to myself, "I'll live with that." Perhaps more guys might come in later.

No, instead, more GIRLS came in! *speechless* I forgotten who was first here, and who came in later. However, if I'm not mistaken, YiLing was one of them, along with Samantha. Ahh..

So as you readers might have read, I was chosen to become course rep. Ahh.. No voting, no by-elections, no politics involved, no sodomy, no nothing. I became course rep JUST LIKE THAT. dot

Did not really know the girls that well, though of course, slowly and gradually, I knew them better. Slow process it was, but still.. =)

However, I had problem mixing with the guys. Weird. I do not know why. Is it them, os is it me? Hmm.. What the heck. I'm not sure if I even care now. Well, they are a bit on the problematic side. Though I have my own problems, but it seems that I'm the only "decent guy" in the class. Ish.. What a tag, and what a drag...

I will not go through about the weirdness of these people, or open a new profile for each and everyone of them - FREAKING WASTE OF MY TIME. Not worth either. Not worth the energy to type it ALL out. In other words, it's a long story.

I so remember this. It was around week 6 or 7. Not sure. More students came in! Well, two. But still.. It's so late! Not only that, they were girls too! G_G

However, they adapted very well, and are doing quite well too. Salute.

Of course, there are things that happens. If I recall, it was in Week 3 or 4, Loh Jen May was sent to hospital because she broken her right arm while pushing a bicycle. HER RIGHT ARM gracious me. She could not write of course, as she is right handed. So she was the first casualty - she deferred.

After that, a lot more happened. First, Rajina got a suspected case of appendix. Went back to Penang for operation. Also deferring. Then, popo got euthiricia or something spelled like that. Had to go back to Klang to see a doctor. Got better after a week though. Glad to have you back though, and also glad you are not deferring.

However, the worst one was the departure of Julie. Her departure was so sudden. Nobody expected it, and she left just like that. Well.. Enough said. Hope there will not be another one to fall out.

Well, the time came where assignments, presentation and exams came. Not only that, the time of "sickness" came as well. Well, I was one of them of course. Not sure if I was the first one though. Still, my sickness lasted quite long. Recovered though.

Then got sick again. Can you believe it? I mean, the first sickness I had lasted THREE WEEKS for crying out loud! And I am sick again! No way! Yeah.. Flu this time, and became the living virus. Four other people got infected by me it seems: Samantha, Joey, and two lecturers, Ms Jane and Ms Yoges! Muahahaha!.. =) So Peanut will say, "Umm, you are Living Virus." haha..

Well, it all came to an end.. Well, I still have Pengajian Malaysia, while everyone else can relax. Sobxx.. I want to relax too! It has been freaking crazy the past few weeks. Tired, exhausted..

Well, I would just like to say this to my mates (only specific people, no names mention though)- Thank you gals for your support in every way. You people have been great - I mean ALL OF YOU. Glad to have known you people. Ahh.. You people know who you are. I'm glad I know you people. Thank you. Seriously. From the bottom of a sincere heart of a course rep.

Well, the sem has not really ended. Finals are yet to come. All the best to my coursemates then! Gambateh, and God bless!

oUt

Exhausted...

Listening To - With Everything - Hillsong

Yours truely is yet again, sitting in front of a computer somewhere in the university, waiting for JL to finish her part of the assignment. Trying to look for websites to tell me how to do APA formats for citation. Damn nothing gives. What I get is all shit.. Probably my fault, for not typing the correct key word. Heck.. MJ! Need your help again! Haha..

Phonetics deadline is today, and there will be an oral test later. Got back the test paper for the Listening Test, and it sucked. Only a freaking 6 1/2! (out of 10). There were so many unwanted errors. Ahh.. What's past is past. Cliche.

Haa.. Cant believe semester is coming to an end. It's just.. Too fast. Too furious as well. =) While for the others Phonetics is the last, I have one more to go, Pengajian Malaysia. Snap. How sickening.

So, after 13 weeks, I have sum this up: Degree is sickening, tiring, exhausting, frustrating (at times, especially if you have assholes working with you), mind blowing.. Haa..

*Music changes - Your Name High - Hillsong*

Yet again, I am thankful I went through Foundation Year. At least it gave a brief idea of what degree year will be. However, only a BRIEF idea. Did not know it will be this... *Speechless*

Yeah, and I thank God too, for looking after me all these while. If it weren't for Him, i'd killed someone. Yeah, SOMEONE, name starts with the letter.. ^^ Those who know, you'll know who I want to kill.

*Music changes - This is Our God - Hillsong*

Yet again, all are Creation of God, so the one thing one has to learn, is how to forgive and love them. Man, it's going to be a long process. FREAKING LONG. 3 years man. Yup, you better believe it. 3 LONG YEARS. HELLLLLLLOOOOOOO... Until 2011 that is.. Now is still 2008..
GET OUUUUUTTT..

Yeah.. International friendlies - England drew with the Czechs 2-2, needing a J.Cole last minute equalizers - Lame. Italy drew with Austria - Lame. France beat Sweden 3-2. Ok la. EURO champs beat Denmark away - Cool! That was the best result of the day. Xabi Alonso scoring a double. That's even cool! Rafa, please let Barry stay where he is. Alonso is a better player. Don't waste your money and time on him please. So much for a player that can play 3 different positions, SO WHAT? He's ineligible for the Champions League now, FORGET HIM! He wouldn't be worth 18 million anymore dumbass! Though I wouldn't blame Rafa for not being able to sign him - screw Gillet and Hicks by all means.. I don't give a damn.

Well, about trying to sign Downing - all the best. I don't mind him coming. At least he can provide some width down the left wing, which is what Liverpool needs.

A Road Safety Tip For All.. Including Myself.. ^^

Road Safety Tip that we hear from the radio.. I kind of like it, so I decided to post it here.. umm.. Be sure to take heed, or beware..

"IF YOU ARE NOT IN A HURRY, DON'T ACT LIKE YOU ARE."

So, drive safely. You, can make a difference. (lolxx, right...)

Barclays Premier League is back.. With a bang!

Barclay's Premier League is back with a bang! What's with Scolari's Chelski winning in style - 4-0 over Pompey, Aston Villa banging four goals as well (against Manchester City 4-2), with a Gabriel Ablonglahor hattrick, and Hull City beating Fulham (2-1)!

Newcastle drawing Manchester United at Old Trafford (1-1), Arsenal and Liverpool getting narrows victories (1-0 wins over West Brom and Sunderland respectively), and yes.. Blackburn beating Everton (3-2) at Goodison Park! What a start for Paul Ince to announce his arrival as the first black Premierhip manager in the league. Bolton, West Ham and Middlesbrough started well too - Bloton 3-1 winners over Stoke City, while West Ham and Boro both beat Wigan and Spurs respectively with a score of 2-1.

There is still news about whether Dimitar Berbatov and Robinho will be joining Manchester United and Chelsea respectively. Apparently, both wants to join the respective clubs, but both their clubs are not willing to sell them. Goodness know what will happen, or where will they end up. Wish them well.

Gareth Barry's saga is still on. I don't believe it. If it were me, I'd forget it. I'm not going to sign a player that is only available the next season to play in the Champions League. I'd prefer to stick to Alonso, whom I think is a good as Barry. Anyways, what are the two dumbasses of our club owners doing? Millionaire my ass! If you are millionaires, you wouldn't have problem giving money to Rafa to get the player he wants. Now Rafa is being embarrassed because he said he will sign Barry but didn't. Enough said.

Well, it's only the beginning of the season, so fret not! There is a lot more to come. Till my next blog! Out!

Another one.. From me!

In this life that we live in, sometimes out of it can come quotations.. heh.. Well, that's what I like to call it. This is another one from me. Here goes..

"THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS ALWAYS THE FIRST THING YOU GET."

Isn't it true?

Quotation From "Prison Break"

I got this quotation from the TV series "Prison Break", and it goes like this..

"EXPERIENCE IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT.."

Again - Quotation.. Haha

I got this quotation from Kwan Yi one day. It was quoted from someone else, but at the moment I cannnot find who is it who quoted this. Anyway, here goes..

"EVERYTHING WILL BE OK IN THE END; IF IT'S NOT OK IT'S NOT THE END EITHER."

Think about it.

Ahh.. At Last.. But more to come..

Week 12 is finally gone, but with it comes Week 13.. Haiz.. Given another assignment for Grammar.. Snap..

Tiring week it has been.. What's with being sick, yet still sleeping at 4a.m in the morning to complete assignment (typical?), and not having enough sleep everyday.. Well, only myself to blame really.

There were some unexpected events though. First was the opening of Tesco. Well, it was expected to open soon, but I did not expect myself to suddenly want to go there. Ahh.. Ended up going with a few of my coursemates. Those who went - Jia Ling, Wendy, Pui Chee, Sam, Helena, Kwan Yi, Kim Yun, Bee Ling, and myself.

Was kind of small compared to the one in Ipoh, but like they all say, the town itself is also half the size of Ipoh. There is Sushi King though, and I heard it was packed like crazy. Heck.. No McD! Damn! Worst of all, there is another KFC there. Whatever for?! There is already a KFC in old town! Bring it down and make it McD!

Got Hillsong's new album from Edward.. Nice. Thanks doc. Chong Wei in final of badminton Olympics! 1 million price money le! Win it man! There might not be another chance. EPL, or now they have changed it to Barclays Premier League (BPL) starts this week. Sunderland takes on Liverpool, United vs Newcastle, Arsenal face newly promoted West Bromwich Albion, while Chelski face Porstmouth.

Well, should go off now. Heh.. Very rare do I use this phrase, but then again.. Heck..

A Quotation for TV series "Lost"... Meaningful one.

I happen to notice this quotation from "Lost", and I find it quite meaningful.. Here goes.

"I did not ask for the life that I was given, but it was given nontheless. And with it I did my best."

Mr. Eko

Today.. Monday - 2nd day of week 12..

Ahh.. This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Well, what a day this is! I'm still sick number one. Managed to compile the entire assignment and hand it up. Praise God Ms Jane did not ask much. Praise God too, that our presentation is next week! Haha

Grammar deadline in tomorrow, but we are given an extension till Wednesday morning. Am almost there! Yeah..

Exam was ok, though there are obviously mistakes made during the exam. However, before that, me and Kak got a shocking new : Julie has pulled out.

Lim Julie is our group member for Phonetics and Phonology assignment, but with her withdrawal means that me and Kak had to find other groups, as her departure meant that there's only two of us left. Sad.. Said she was homesick, and could not cope with the studies as well.. Well, that's what I heard. Well, all the best Julie in your future life. Take care.

Well, grammar time! Out

Equation..

This is a new equation created by me!..

Freak of Nature + Spark of Insanity = Flu

Woohoo! Drums here I come!

Yeah! Title says it all! I played drums during the weekend for 3rd service, and man did I enjoy it! Haha.. Totally different from playing guitar and bass guitar. Yeah, and the drum set is different too, compared to the one in Kampar. Heh. No offense. I simply have no idea why am I SSing here. Never mind.

Weekend - so so. Liverpool got a last minute victory against Lazio via Andriy Voronin's goal. Went back tired, having not enough sleep from the previous night. Wasted the entire day, except for the time in church. Went back after that, and slept for two hours! My goodness! Worst of all, I did not feel like waking up! Man, real tough it was to push myself. Did it in the end though. However, I still end up not doing anything. zZz

Sunday came. Led worship for prayer. Ahh.. Then played drums! haha.. Still SSing. I don't know why. Went back, and slept again! For the same amount of time! Goodness! After waking up, as I have to prepare to go back, it was only then I realise I was sick - AGAIN. Damn. That's the last thing I need. Though it's not cough this time - it's flu - but still.. It's getting sick. Ish.

Today's story will be posted in a different post.

Another Quotation...

This is another one...

Understanding not only to Understand, but also to be Understood..

The month of August so far, and days to come...

The month of August has been crazy.. Well, it has been crazy all these while, but this month is specially crazy. It will be crazier still, next week. But I'll just share a bit about this week.

It was a hectic week, especially I had to rush on my linguistic assignment. Ahh.. Just cut the long story short. Me and Kak had to end up doing everything because someone did partially "copy and paste" work, and it was already Tuesday that time. And he already started on his Grammar assignment, while I did not even think of it! What a group member. Haiz.. Nothing to say. Speechless. Me and Kak finished everything. And the worse part is, he's asking how's the progress of the assingment coming along! Damn I was so pissed. Well, I can't be scolding him everyday. And anyway, wasn't I taught to forgive others as God has forgiven us, otherwise He wouldn't? Well, do hope I can. It's not easy, but it's possible. He must change too however. You can't expect me to except his kind of behaviour for 3 freaking years.

Week 12 is next, and my goodness.. What a week it will be. Here's a list of what's happening next week.
Monday - Linguistic assignment deadline (which should have been last week - pisses me off)
Tuesday - Structure and Grammar assignment deadline, replacement class for Pengajian Malaysia - zZz
Wednesday - Nothing much. Bet the students will skip the class as the following two days will be as hectic as well.
Thursday - Phonetics and Phonology Listening Test.
Friday - Mass Communication Presentation (for those who are presenting), Replacement class for Linguistic/PM - Do not know which one yet though. Currently nothing is confirm. Again it pisses me off. Presentation for Linguistic.

Well, it's crazy alright, and I heard from a friend that her friend has decided to quit University as she can't handle all the pressure. Well, messege to my fellow coursemates: Don't give up! Gambateh!

Will be playing drums this weekend for 3rd service. First time. Scared. And Metoy chosed a song that is so.. hard. *speechless* Well, may God be with me and my hands.

Then begins the crazy week. Am not sure if I can find time to actually post anything. But if I do, I will.

Mighty To Save - Hillsong Australia

Everyone needs compasion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The Hope of nations

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty To Save
He is Mighty To Save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the Risen King
Jesus

Trip To KL - Passion World Tour - Sunway Piramid Convention Centre

At long last, the day that many Christians who signed up for the conference has been waiting for. Passion World Tour. Woohoo!

Started our journey to KL at about noon - 12 pm that is. There were about close to 20 of us. 2 hour plus journey. Reached at about half past two. Went to Sunway Piramid straight away, as we had to exchange our tickets for a wristband. Splitted from the rest to have our lunch, which was at "The Manhattan Fish Market". Wau.. You will never imagine the bill. I will not tell you. 7 of us were there - it became 8 when Ju Siong joined us later. The 7 - Mike, Wei Wei, Meli, Ming, me, Jack, and Anthony.

Did not have to time to shop, as by the time we finished our lunch, it was already late. Went up to the Convention Centre after that. Heard William was coming too! Did not have the chance to meet up though. Too bad. Bought their merchandise - a t-shrit worth RM60, size - XL. Kind of nice. Anyways, wao! The place was packed with people man! Goodness know how many thousands - 4,000 if I'm not mistaken.Waited quite a while before we could actually enter, but anyhow.. We finally did!

Then it all began! The Praise and Worship, lead by Chris Tomlin (never thought I could actually meet him!), and wao.. It's just awesome. The manner in how they started they whole thing.. *speechless*. As all of us were praising God, I began to realise something - You know all the Christian albums that you listen to, the great music created by great people of God? Yeah, you can listen to the CD and say that their music is wonderful, or should I say, "cool". =) However, to actually be there is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERINCE altogether! It's just totally not the same when you listen to the music on CD, than when you are ACTUALLY THERE! Man, I haven't got a single clue on how to explain this. You have to experience this yourself, then you will know/understand what I mean. The music, the atmosphere.. *speechless again*

PnW (Praise and Worship) was wonderful. Even though I do not know the songs, we still manage to leard it quick enough, and sang along with them. There were, of course, a few songs that I knew, but then again.. Had a short time of prayer before moving on, with more PnW. Haha.. Here are some pictures that were taken by them during PnW. (credit to 268blog.com)





Then sharing by Louie. The story that he shared about Ashley was really touching. Will share it here.

Ps - For those who went, heard about the story, and is reading this post, forgive me for spelling mistakes.

Ps 2 - This is a true story.

This story is about a girl name Ashley, who is a "party" girl in a university somewhere in America. Her story goes as her being one of the "Top Ten" partying girls in her university. Coming from a broken family - parents divorced, followed dad as her mother and brother-in-law were all Christians, and she did not like Christianity. Neither did her dad - she began to find fulfillment of this world. Has a boyfriend, but after two years, separated for "certain reasons". Think you guys can guess it. As she does not like living alone - she was living with her boyfriend before this - she then put on an announcement saying that she is looking for a roommate. A girl name Kristy took that opportunity, a lo and behold, they were roommates.

Kristy is a Christian girl, and to cut the story short, began to share her life being a Christian to Ashley, explaining to Ashley that, "no matter how screwed up a person you are, God still loves you the same." Ashley's life has been a terrible mess, but after hearing that, and hearing what Louie has shared during one of the Passion Conference on DVD, she began to be interested. Her life changed, and I mean TOTALLY changed.

Louie was reading her story from a journal that Ashley has been writing on - Well, what I call, "blog", except that it is handwritten. It started from January (what year, forgotten), and after April, it stopped. She did not have the chance to continue writing her story about being a Christian anymore, and she also did not have the chance to keep living for Christ, but has instead "went Home to join Him". She passed away after being hit by a vehicle while she was talking on a public phone. Had internal bleeding which the doctors failed to stop.

That story has taught me a couple of things :
1) We should live for Christ as long as we are still alive, and praise God everyday that we are still alive.
2) We should learn to appreciate life, because we do not know when it's our turn to "go".
3) To take every opportunity to share about God's love, as it is an AMAZING thing, and perhaps, the most amazing thing EVER.

He also shared a song that Ashley love very much. The song is called "Mighty To Save", taken form Hillsong Australia. Will post it in the next blog.

Anyways message to you guys : Praise God to people like you who are willing to go all out for Christ! Journey mercy to Jakarta, Indonesia, and to the rest of the countries that you guys are going to! May Jakarta be moved too! God bless!

*Ps - FYI Passion World Tour (hence the name) is going to 17 countries. Below is the list of countries (capital, country)
1) Kiev (Ukraine)
2) Stockholm (Sweden)
3) Sao Paulo (Brazil)
4) Kampala (Uganda)
5) Paris (France)
6) London (England)
7) Manila (Philippines)
8) Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
9) Jakarta (Indonesia)
10) Johannesburg ( South Africa)
11) Cape Town (South Africa)
12) Mexico City (Mexico)
13) Vancouver (Canada)
14) Seoul (South Korea)
15) Tokyo (Japan)
16) Hong Kong (well..)
17) Sydney (Australia)

and the six major cities they are going to in America :
1) Boston
2) Chicago
3) Los Angeles
4) Dallas
5) Washington D.C
6) Atlanta

*Continue*

It ended! Wish it could continue, but it has to end somehow. There is one thing that will never die though - the passion. Haha.. Was truely blessed throughout the whole thing. Although tired (had a bit of cramp, hee) still.. Started journey home at about 10 plus, stopped half way at a rest area to buy food (KFC, woohoo!) then, journey all the way home. Tired, slpet, and woke up at about nine plus this morning. Wao.. That's how tired I was. Am I ever so grateful that there is no class today, as both lecturers were away for some conference.

Lets hope the Passion never ceases. God bless.

Assholes..

" "Stop Stop Stop" Repost this, otherwise you will not have a relationship for 69 years."

"Now that you have read it, you must repost this in 5 minutes, or you will not get a good relationship with your spouse."

"Bad luck! You must repost this in 10 minutes, or your mom will die in 3 days."


DUMBASSES!

What A LOAD OF DUMBASSES! You would actually believe that your mother will die just because you do not repost a Motherf****** POST?! MY GOODNESS! What, "SUPERNATURAL"?! ASSHOLE!

There are also posts that says, "If you do not repost this, the doll will crawl from under your bed and kill you the way they killed them." Oh PLEASE! SICKENING!

Wonder why do all these people repost these kind of post for. FUN? There's no fun in it AT ALL. Even wonder who started all this. I have no idea how it will stop. Much I wish someone will stop it, I don't think it will stop until THESE PEOPLE decide that there is no such "SUPERNATURAL" thing in this world.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I BEG YOU PEOPLE! Use your coconut, and think of these two words : COMMON SENSE. If you actually think that your mom is going to die, or you are really not going to have a good relationship.. well, take your mother "dying" for example. How about this for "SUPERNATURAL"? I did not repost it, and my mom is still alive dumbass!

To those who are reading this AND have previouly reposted these kind of post : Do not "perasan". I am not refering to you being dumbasses for reposting it. If you really believed it, then too bad. If you did not, AND reposted it for the sake or fun of it, then do not "perasan".

To those who created this kind of post - GET A LIFE JACKASS.
