At last...

At long, long, last....

A win for 'Pool against millionaire Chelski. How often can you get that since Roman's Relovution in Stamford Bridge?

In fact, in the Premiership, none. And...that is, until now.

2-nil win. Convincing and satisfying. Actually, I am still pinching my cheeks to believe that.




















Scorer Dirk Kuyt with 2 thumbs up. Shweet.

Not that Liverpool was THAT bad. In fact, it was just plain logic that sooner or later, they are going to bite off the ass of Chelsea and shut Mourinho's arrogant shit hole (which happens to be attached to where a normal person's mouth position).















Moaningho shaking hands after loosing? What? Probably he had fever.

Conceding goals in consecutive matches, even to just-promoted Reading, was a sign that Chelsea isn't invincible just because they manage to bring expensive glittering stars like buying nasi-lemak in a warungs. Ballack and Shevchenko? More like fading stars.

And in the wake of the Reds vs Blues game, #130-000 per week Ballack was strolling on the field serving as a spectator more than a player. 30 million pounds Sheva was warming the bench.














Chelsea's Cech: " I feel like playing rugby than footie...can I?"

And it only took 18 minutes for Liverpool to kill off the game.

The current situation was that Liverpool were trying hard to erase 2 horrible tragic-memories in Anfield. Namely 2 Arsenal visits for Carling and Fa Cup where 12 goals were at the back of Liv's net. Eeew....disgusting.

And it proved a remedy, a sweet remedy this time around beating, for the first time since Benitez's reign 3 seasons ago, Chelsea in the league.

And of course Chelsea can always come up with excuses like lack of defenders, esp. Terry, and the just recovered Cech as GK. But the reality is, they sucked in the game.

It is not a frequent event to see a grand win like this in Liverpool these days, therefore do excuse the insults and patronizing done in this blog. Chelsea fans, another time, eh? Hehe.

And after this match, Liverpool....title contenders?

Maybe la...

Condemned

I suppose I am in denial. But who the fuck cares right? So I decided to write this blog in a third person view.

He studied for 45 minutes. Then an idea struck him. He decided to sms. She replied. He happy. She said she coming. He lagi happy. So he waited and waited.

She come half an hour late. He doesn’t mind. But she was 3 tables away. She din see him. But she messaged asking where are you. He went to her. He smiled. She smiled. He notice the table was full. She said she can come to his table.

And that’s where everything turned upside down, inside out.

He said its ok if she want to sit with her friends. She din say anything.She nodded.He went to his table. He started to regret. He asked himself what the fuck is he thinking. He looked back at her table. She din turn back. He wanted to go her table. There was no place. He stared back in his book. He wished she came to her table. It did not happen. He disappointed. He looked back several times. No response. He tried to sms her to come to his table. He did not do it. He began to wonder if he had balls. He can’t concentrate. He thought of the “so near yet so far” concept. He felt stupid. He felt useless. He felt he was going to be the failure of mankind.

Then, someone left her table. There was space. He went to her table which took him 15 minutes to ponder. He sat. She din look up. He felt hopeless. He stared at book again. She asked friends about a question. He listened. She asked his opinion. He answered. He guessed that she wasn’t convinced. He asked whether he had help. She said yes. He guessed she just don’t want to hurt him. He felt stupid. She then asked about something else. Not to him. He just listened. She din ask his opinion anymore. He stared back at his book. And in 5 minutes time, she felt like leaving. She left. She said bye. He said bye. He JUST said bye. That’s all. He thinks that she was disappointed. He tried to say something else. She pretended to walk slowly. He did not say anything. He felt stuck. His brain was blank. She went away with her friend. He felt like banging his head on the wall. He felt like shouting. He just stared at his book for the next 30 minutes. Then he decided to leave.

On the way home, he looked at the sky and asked why? Nobody answered him. He shook his head. He felt devastated. He scratched his head. He was blank. He was confused.

And there goes the confident. There goes the enthusiasm. There goes hope. There goes everything. It felt like déjà vu.

He walked back to his room with heavy steps. He wished he did not live today. He wished there was no today.

Wanted: Exam Mood

It is not always easy to dig out the mood that was inhibited by 3 months plus period. In fact, as we proceed to the almost-finale of our course, the tendency to bog down midway is especially obvious.


Perhaps the above poster will help. But it takes more than that. The effort, the stimulation, the motivation, the aura, the mood, , the expectation, the pressure, the passion (hmm...doesn't really fit here..)...you name it. It certainly needed a whole lot bunch of criteria to really settle down and to bury your head into a pile (or maybe 2, 3, 4 piles?) of literature of theories or philosophies.

Damn. And to think that time and tide is in dominant position against me, it just make matters worst. Week 13. 10 ++ (as in Jan 7) from now, I'll be over-fried meat if I don't complete 5 subjects of 18 credit hours in time.

Really, for this time....my verdict would be : Die liao laa.....

Be a South Parker!





























Damn.

I was given a part in the notorious sick-kids animation, South Park. And being credited as Sinner.

Portrait as a bespectacled, durian-shape hairstyle, injury prone (note the plaster), sporty, unlucky looser (indicated by "13 BASTARD" sign on the jersey), hopeless in relationship (note the signboard indicating "Warning: Girl Snatched Away.") and sinister pain-in-the-ass boy. And by the way, definitely a distinguishable South Parker famous for his foul language, specialized in Chinese dialect versions.

Want a role in South Park? Try it here

Good luck in the audition. XP.

Break needed! (Pt.2)

Thursday, 28th Dec. 2006

Dad’s birthday. No presents for him tho. Bad son. But celebrated with the cousins and aunts with a feast at night. Spend the whole day with dad is the best I can compensate for the no-present-clause.

Friday, 29th Dec. 2006

Chatted and updated my database with old best mate, CJ before his departure to the States in January. We started out life after secondary single and amateurs in relationships. I remembered he proposed this get-GF-in-two-years-time resolution before we went our own way. Its two years now. And he succeeded. As for me leh.....no comment. He tried not to laugh his ass out but and as usual failed terribly. Bloody hell.



















Hhh...I got d....When you want to get yours?

Went to Queensbay with Rach and YW. Did some window shopping and targeted a few tops and jeans. Promised self will be back with parents and cash. XP.

Saturday, 30th Dec. 2006

Another day of ass-warming. Spend the afternoon getting rid of viruses and spywares. My family just don’t get what I was doing and always attempted to switch off the computer. Frustrating la. I mean, just chill la, it won’t hurt if the PC’s on for the whole day. It hurts when you see the Trojans mulled their horses through your PC. Gave a lecture of the importance of “modification” of the PC.

And finally, at long long last, I am getting myself contact lenses. Initially, I don’t expect my mom will comply, but hey..Guess I hit at the right time in requesting (or isit just my persuasion skills getting better?) for a thing that I had proposed for like two years. It wasn’t easy to put in at first. I attempted 3 times on my right eye and 6 times on my left eye. It was a nervy process. The optometrist was patient tho, thank goodness. By the way, its 20 bucks per month for one year. Kinda cheap I guess.











Tested out on the field and it feels good. I moved more freely around without the specs dangling loose like some nerd-head roaming clumsily in the field.

Went to temples and monasteries in several parts of Penang to pray. It was exhausting. So many things to do and remember in the prayers. Fortunately, mom is at my side or else I might get struck by lightning someway through.

Amazingly(or not), it was a peaceful New Year’s Day for me. Was suppose to have fun in Gurney, but then my aunt came into the picture with her Toto (or whichever) winning money and decided to chia us for a scrumptious feast. And that’s where the dilemma came in. My cousin, Andrew, had the same thing on mind and called me for consultation. In the end, we decided to set family as priority. Big sacrifice…not really.

We ended up having dinner with aunts and uncles and took up (again?) our commentating job.

Monday, January 1st 2006….oh, wait….2007.

Happy New Year! Or rather happy new year…..

Decided to try out the Shanghai Dim Sum near Queensbay Mall. And the conclusion? I rather opt for any local coffee-shop style Dim Sum. The options there are so limited that you get only one type of siu mai and one type of har kau. And it took a long time to serve up the food. Blah. From now on, I decided there will be no more restaurant-style-dim sum (the previous one in Hotel Equatorial was a disaster…waited half an hour for 3 pieces of siu mai).

And it was Queensbay again. This time armed with mom and dad. XD. After some serious browsing and considerations, which of course is due to limited cash, landed 4 tops and one pair of jeans, with only RM150 in exchange. Kinda a bargain.

Tuesday is the round-up for the a-week-plus-holiday. Departed to KL in style tho. Paid extra RM11 for personal screen sits. Took advantage of it by watching 2 movies and the next thing I knew, I was already at Pudu. Worth the money, planned to do that everytime other time. ^.^.

Time flies. And I meant it seriously. In less than one month, Armageddon strikes and there was no sign of preparation yet.

As usual, the motto in the next few weeks will be…
Die liao la……

Break needed! (Pt.1)

A brief holiday is essentially needed. And it came just in time, after massacred a holocaust of assignments, mid-terms and presentations, I really needed time-off. It wasn’t easy to get a leave from college. But thanks to the numerous occasions (which included my grams’ death anniversary, dad’s b’day and also Xmas and New Year), I can’t get a more sensible excuse (or rather reason, a better word) to retreat myself from the hectic schedule. And I promised myself I will fully utilize the week-long break.


And I guess I did.

Friday, 22nd Dec. 2006

The moment I reached Penang Bridge, my friend, Rach already bugged and begged me to club that night. She assured me full coverage, meaning the fees. Oh well, since that’s the case, I obliged. Reached the bus station 2230, reached Esplanade 2315. Frantic sial. Even more frantic was the process. I had to rush from Glo to SS and back again, different occasion. Damn the pei min custom. I think I got high from rushing here and there than from dancing and drinking. Oh, did I mention both places are free? Cheapskate, but can’t really blame me. Blame those VIPs that my friends knew.

Woke up late. Ate brunch and slept again, and there goes the day. 9pm, primary school small small gathering, so called. 10 people attended., which explained the “small small” part. Updated myself with the latest gossips. You know, like who’s with who, who went where, who broke up with who, who doing what, how is who and who…etc. Manage to catch up with my cousin and aunts for the customary football session. Did the usual crazy commentating with my cousin and enjoyed laughing at our own jokes. Lame, but….fun.

Sunday, 24th Dec. 2006.

Seperti biasa. Paced the house till evening. Find my old time dude. Exchange news. Went football together-gether. Old times. Rushed home for a bath and attended a Christmas Eve beach party at the private beach at Crown Prince Hotel. We indulge ourselves with pizzas, KFCs, salads and various edible craps. Then had some water-bomb-and-throw-me-into-the-sea sessions. Did some camwhoring. And get into trouble…










Enjoying the fireworks after some water-splashing session

…and of all things, I forgot to switch off my car lights. >O<. And so…u noe what happened….Tried to jump start the car but failed. Guess the battery went totally flat. Anyway, credit to my mates. They made every effort to make the car start. Thanks. In the end, we had to abandon the car on a pedestrian. Took Kelvin’s car home. Get some advice from dad, obviously. It was already 2.30am.

Monday, 25th Dec. 2006.

Retrieve car first thing in the morning with dad, invested RM130. Sheesh. Went to Queensbay Mall for the very first time, with dad, fit-for-home-only Tee, knee-cap trousers and a lousy pair of slippers. Was kinda embarrassed to walk in that kind of fashion sense, but dad assured me that as Penangnites, its normal. Er…ok.












The front view of 1U look-alike mall


Queensbay Mall is definitely a new concept for Penangnites. Many of its stores are first timers on the island. Maybe it is time the islanders become “in-nish”. On the other hand, I would like to see how long are the stores are going to survive. Instinct tells me that Penangnites don’t usually embrace the style and taste that is offered there. But, we’ll see.










Tuesday, 26th Dec. 2006

Went Pulau Tikus for breakfast. Have a nice drive around Georgetown. Dad was inputting me with the road names and where to get the best food here and there. Had Koay Teow Teng for lunch near Transfer Road. Its known as Ah Boy KTT, and is known to be the best KTT in Penang. I like their meat and fish balls; they are absolutely springy and tasty. I tried to made them stay in my mouth as long as possible. XD.











Hungry? Best KTT in Penang for you.

Wednesday, 27th Dec. 2006

A lazy morning. A lazy afternoon. A rough evening of footie. A great night with cousins. End of day.

To be continued....
