Final Score

Being the loosing side, its hard to compose this post...

While stronger than the 2005 squad, Liverpool still can't get past a bunch of old nasty looking mafias of Milan. It does make you question whether they are using the right tactics against a side who has now claimed its 7th European Cup.

The bunch of mafias....don't they look like one?

Alrite, alrite. From a neutral perspective, they did deserve to win, simply because they are the better team on the pitch. Defence are good, Gattuso snarling as usual, Kaka (the only bloke that does not fit in the Mafia-lookalikes team) creating beautiful chances and most important of all, Inzaghi scoring the goals, both. You look at it, and it seems to be a pretty organized team, which explains the cup.

As for Liverpool, sweeping some of the ineffective players and bringing new effective ones are essential if they want to win anything next season.

Till then, its summer hols for footie.

Aye, Captain!

Yohoho....Pirates are back..and after watching all the trailers, it sure consist a big bunch of them.
Pirates lords they called, and their crews. And of course, the Captain is back. Aye!



















Spooky Jack Sparrow...

This time around, as the story goes, Barbossa is going to save Sparrow, with lovebirds Swan and Turner getting cheesy once again on screen. Beckett and Davy Jones wants to eliminate the pirates through East India Trading Company. Sparrow and Barbossa gather all the king's men..sorry..pirates from the seven seas to counter back. Simple huh, the plot? Maybe. Will see.

And here we go again....another summer of sequels. Next, we have Shrek 3. Then, Harry Potter. Then, Mr. Bourne. Then, Rush Hour 3. Also starring Spidey 3....guess Hollywood ran out of ideas, but nevertheless, will enjoy it.

__________________________________________________________________

And speaking of captains, two of them will lead their teams into The European Champions League Final in Athens. Gerrard and Maldini preparing their team for a showdown since the miraculous final in Istanbul 2 years ago.

Milan wants revenge. Liverpool wants another miracle. It is setting up so nicely. Two of the most prestigious clubs battling, yet again in 2 years, for glory.


















Another miracle? Or vengeance? Can't wait.

And as a Reds fan, I would say....Go grab the cup and shut Gattusso's mouth once and for all.

Dislocated

Just as I was going to execute my plan for a fit holiday. It came to a halt....















......with this.

And a big halt it is.

A dislocated knee. Hah!

It just took a split second. A sprint with the ball and a supposed-to-be-deceiving act of changing the direction was all it took to got my knee into the above condition. Guess the receptors were slow there.

















When analyzing the scenario after that (which you don't do when you are in immense pain during that moment), the ankle seems to play a bit-part role in causing the dislocation. Note that the ankle and the knee is linked through like this...












...and according to the pic, it does makes sense that both the knee and the ankle signed a deal to make my hols miserable.

I went for bone-setting by this Si-fu who had been essential in treating all my previous fractures (its called tie ta in Mandarin). It was a painful process. Least to say, it was torturous. The sifu just push to my limits where I can't really bent my already cacat-ed knees. In the end, I was left panting for breath and struggling to sense my leg.

And its all just because of a sprint and a change of direction, or was it misdirection?

Currently, I am able to walk, or rather, limp. Without crutches but with all those guards that you can find in Guardian. I felt so overly-protected.

Then again, for the sake of being able to walk properly again, I would do anything.

And I am considering "retirement" from football.

Hiros

This is Masi Oka from Heroes as Hiro Nakamura












At the centre, is my friend Vince....
















As Hiro wants to bend time and space, he did this...














And just so you think he's the only one who can do that...




















Holly COW! Exactly the SAME!! No?

Heroes

It's just amazing to think that a certain series that based it's theme on something that has been through ages can provide such an addictive dose in our lives.

Heroes...ain't that simple enough for a title? Dozens of movies, songs, music and TV shows had the equivalent name. And it shared similar theme with other shows such as X-Men and Mutant X. Having said that, the question is..why the series is causing an euphoria throughout the world?










Title card of Heroes.

It's a special series because it has Hayden Panettiere in it the story is in arcs (overall and small), which involves ordinary people discovering amazing abilities and their reaction to it....

.....aiya, does that make sense?

Actually, the show's addictive because at the end of every episode it shows the phrase "To Be Continued..." and you will be like, "Oi, wtf? Finish d ah? 45 minutes d meh?"














Ordinary people with amazing abilities....more like
Beautiful people with I-so-want-that-power-too abilites

I was skeptical when my friend introduce me the series like, "Dude, you watch "heroes"? You want ah?"

"Huh? Nice meh? Is it another show with superheroes flying around with weird, body-hugging, panties-outside costumes?"

" You just watch la. Nah, all inside this DVD.."

Since then, my world is so changed....












Hayden as Claire....I like. XD

And to think that I am just less than one week away from the season finale with the previous episode's cliffhanger and various previews and sneak peaks and teasers reminding me almost every moment, its torturous.

Just so that you haven't been catching up, I strongly recommended this series. Its so gonna hook you up, promised.















Please watch us show our abilities!

Naili's

The moment stepping inside this place, I knew I am going to love this place. It isn't some typical warung, though their origin was one. It might looked like a rundown place if you do not really sending your visual sensation into your perception, but if you really focus, you know this a place that is not something simple.
















The entrance

According to legend, it was originally a stall owned by two people selling nasi lemak and ubi rebus. Seven years on, they already have a restaurant so nicely decorated and furnished that you don't really can't imagine how their stall looked like 7 years ago.

Today, apart from the original stuff, they offered both Eastern and Western cuisines. Ranging from nasi gorengs to koey teows and to Fish N' Chips, it was amazing to think the achievement they worked for.
















A blurred image of a sampan right inside the place.
















The kampung-ish setting of seatings.

The whole place is practically kampung and beach themed. The wooden pondoks, bamboos (?), sampan's, surfing boards, carving arts. It gives a pleasurable and serene type of atmosphere for everyone dining there, in addition to soothing music of course.

As for the food, I haven't tried much, but would say that their food are crave-fulfilling. Not really heaven-like, just manageable to suit its atmosphere.























Western or Local

It was a promising place for yam cha session, only that to maintain such "wealthy lifestyle" is a suicide attempt in finance management.

Verdict:
Worth trying out.
Food: Can eat la.
Atmosphere & Settings: Top notch
Serving time: Not in the Tortoise speed category.
Price: walan yea expensive....for a student like me that is.

Twenty

Its almost ten thousand years ago since I update the blog. And gosh, I've passed so many milestones during my absence.

For instance, my birthday almost one month ago.

And now...I am no teen anymore.

No big deal here. It's just age. Something that we will not loose, unlike money. In fact, it will just add, instead of deduct.

And here comes 20, they say. Old liao lo, no more teen liao lo, one more year can go Genting casino liao lo, one more year can go in Zouk liao lo.....yada...

Honestly, not into those stuff.

Anyway, I would like to thank my coursemates and hostelmates and any other friends and relatives for reminding how old I am already. The two cakes that I got was incredibly delicious. And thanks for the multi-lingual b'day songs that probably rung in my head the whole night after hearing it for 3 hours per day.

And my b'day wish? Secret la, tak boleh tell.

In fact, I was so busy swinging from mamaks to cafes that I forgot to note such memories in my camera. So no pics here. Just appreciations. 'Nuf I guess.

Will definitely update blogs often from now....if I am motivated enough.
Promise that.
