i'm back!!! with an important lesson..

I was once told, that as the eldest boy of the family, I will one day have to take care of my family members, taking charge of things. In other words, means having responsibilities.

Didn't really know what it meant it first.. In fact, didn't even care anyway. Mean, to hell with responsibilities dude. I can't even manage my own matters properly.. Don't even mention responsibilities. Anyway, I do have an elder sister, but my dad still says that I'll be the one in charge.. Well, just because I'm a boy. Heck.

It wasn't till recently I found out the true meaning of it. Dude, you bet your life it was tough. It was when my grandmother slipped and fell. She crack her hand, and none of my parents were at home. I was having dinner with my friends when I got that news. Boy, did i not freak out. I couldn't even enjoy my dinner properly. I then rushed back to take her to the hospital with the help of my friends. She was then taken care of, and everything was back to normal again.

What turned out to be an eventful evening became a very important lesson to me. It was during that situation that I learned how to handle this kind of situation on my own. I've never done this before, and now especially without my parents (my mom joined me later by the way), I thought, I'm not going to be able to settle this myself. Thankfully, i had my friends with me. Well, at least next time I'll know what to do.

One thing about responsibilities like this is that, it requires patience, clear mind to think ( of what to do) perseverance, and.. patience.^^ However, without these, it wouldn't be easy.

I'm sure there'll be many more responsibilities that'll come my way. This is only the beginning. That incident is only the first, and I can bet you, it wouldn't be the last. You can question all you want about what kind of responsibilities you'll face in the future, but it will come.

One thing's for sure though: all these will help one mature. In what way i do not know. It all depends on the situation and how one looks at it and settle it. ah well.. Thats why God gives us problems isn't it? It's to help us grow. Not only for our own good, but also to grow stronger in Him. It's also through problems that we find out about responsibilities. For that part, erm.. you'll understand when you get into trouble. LOL

conclusion: amen to troubles and responsibilities... ?^^

exam's coming

Wau.. This sem's subjects are a lot more tougher than last sem's.. And to make things more 'interesting', there's only one week of study leave, and the exam is all cramped into one week, instead of being spread out to two weeks, like last sem.

Just hope that I can pass this sem's exam, and go on through the next sem, not having to worry about resitting or repeating any papers. God bless ^v^

A Creed To Live By.....

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each one of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important,
Ony you know what best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart,
cling to that as would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future,
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have somethingto give,
nothing is really over... until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit you are less perfect
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risk,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love,
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams .
To be without dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forgot where you've been,
But also know where you're going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured
every step of the way.

The Transfer Market so far..

The transfer period has once again come, and it's the time again where managers make transfers to strengthen their squad. As always, rumours starts to spread - Ronaldinho linked with a move to Chelski, while MU, Chelski, AC Milan wants Berbatov.. well, typical for Chelski to be involved in almost every player available. They are also linked with a move for Anelka. Also - Real Madrid want s to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, reportedly for about £50 million.

As for Liverpool, my favorite club, has been linked with many defenders, basically wanting to find cover. AC Milan's Kaladze, Real Madrid's Gabriel Heinze (plus Baptista for of all people, Xabi Alonso), and many others. Well, one thing Benitez - do not sell any of any players from your current squad. They are good players, even the likes of Riise, Sissoko, and Crouch. You may think they are surplus to the club, but there's such thing called "desperate situations calls for desperate measures". Well, up to you really. After all, it's your squad. Full stop.

As for Arsenal, the same thing - no going in of big players, but going out of big players. Lehmann is set to leave, while the future of Gilberto Siva remains a doubt. Well, lets just hope the professor of Emirates will bring in players the way he does best - sign young players.

One signing confirm so far - Nery Castillo signing for Manchester City. Well, it's about to get hectic and exciting, so we just let the players and managers entertain us!!! Till the end of January then!! ^^

goodbye 2007, hello 2008

2007 has been a great year for me. It has been a happening and an eventful year, and as always, one gets to learn something new in every year. So this is the list of my eventful year...

- January - I got me driving's license. Thought I was going to fail it, just like my motor license, but Praise the Lord, I passed it on my very 1st try. Was kinda of nervous (well, who wouldn't be?) but PTL, He was there with me all the time. I was also sure that He was the one that helped me past it. After that, I was blessed with a 10 year old Kancil, which was formerly my mom's car, while my mom had a new car (sobz) lol

- Febuary - I was employed to work in Citrus (that was like what, after waiting for a month.. but was told to do so, so heck with it) Worked there for four months, got a dam lot of experience even in a short period of time. Can't say i earned really lot, but still.. it's money. haha

- March - Finally, the time came for all SPMers to take their results. Only got an A ^^ can't say that I'm totally satisfied, but the rest of it was ok so.. didn't really care anyway. Applied for UTAR.

- April - Don't really remember much what happened during this month.. All I can say is, it just past on like that.. hee

- May - Was in my final month of working before I set of my journey to a new life in UTAR. After my last day, started preparing. On the 28th, it started.

- June - Started my 1st sem in UTAR. Was kinda interesting at 1st, but as time goes by.. well, you know.. Things that interest you at 1st starts not to be intersting anymore, so just apply it. Well.. don't really want to go into details about what happened in me Uni life.

*time skip for a few months* lol

- December - Haha.. well, this is the 1st time I'm into the month of December, yet I'm not having any hols at all. Yup Yup.. no hols.. and I ain't kidding man. Uni life is a whole lot different than school life, and one of it is that they do not follow the school's hols to have hols together. So, instead of enjoying hols, have to study instead. It costed me a youth camp, but heck.. A month full of assignments to hand up, plus preparation for christmas carol.. wau.. stress.. But thank God once again, He has blessed me with the strength I need, and has helped me go throught this hectic month, which perhaps the most hectic month ever.

Well, this year has finally come to an end, and tomorrow is a new year all together. So, to all readers - Happy New Year 2008!!! God bless

christmas..

wau.. it's finally over.. after all the practises, and yes, STRESS (lol), it's over.. well, kind of enjoyed it.. but some things have to come to an end eventually.. it was yet again a great experience, having to play bass this time though.. use to play guitar last time.. well, like i said, it was a great experience.. playing in front of a big audience at Heritage Hotel.. then going to two different places.. hah..

well, it has been a great christmas once again, and I really want to thank God for a season like this, and thank Him for coming to Earth.. God bless everyone.. and a Merry Christmas ^^

is Fabio Capello the right man?

Fabio Capello has become the new England manager. The former AC Milan, AS Roma, Juventus, and Real Madrid coach takes over from the sacked Steve McLaren, who failed to take England to the EURO 2008. Main question is - is he the right man?

An experienced man at the age of 61, some people still have doubts about him, and managers like Southgate, Coppell are against the idea of having yet another foreign manager as England coach. Well well, all they do is just talk isn't it? I can never understand this people. The FA is doing what is best for the country's football, and all they ever do is criticise, and make a dam big issue about it.. TO Southgate and Coppell - why don't you suggest a better name other than the likes of Jose, Capello, Lippi and O'Neill? Or why don't you offer yourself to the England job? are you too chicken? or are you fearing of the very fact that you know the FA do not want you? Or are you critizising as of in other words you want the FA to choose you?(in your dreams though)

I seroiuly do not like it when people who are less experience than others critizising those who are chosen. Give him a break man, for crying out loud. Capello hasn't even started his job yet (he will only start in Jan) . Let him prove himself first. And the talk about wanting to choose a local manager. Give me a name capable of coaching England - Pierce, Hoddle, Venables? Name me an English manager who has led a team to gloryin the past 7 years - the closes was Steve himself in the UEFA Cup, which however, landed in a lost.

To Capello - do your best. You know that you have the support of the FA, the players and the country. Show these people want you are made of. Even if you fail, tell yourself that you have done your best.

To the FA - You have chosen a good and quality manager. Don't take in the words of the other managers too seroiusly, knowing that you have made a good choice. Have faith.

To the players - You know what to do.

And last but not least, to all the England fans - God bless Capello and English football. ^^
