Iraq emerged as the Asian Cup winner 2007

Despite many have died during the sometimes overrated, silly war that was motivated by the Bush regime, Iraq still managed to send some high callibre, high spirited, energetic (and banyak gak yg kekar2 looking ) football players to win the Asian Cup 2007. This 1-0 win against their fellow saudi arabian brothers was celebrated by all the major tribes in Iraq: sunnis, shiites and kurds. Such was a mutual joy that transcended the tribal barriers.

Iraqi captain, Younes Mahmoud scored the victory goal in the 1st half of the match.

Pasukan Malaysia?????? agak laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa memalooooookannnnnnn.......!!!!!!

Saper yang bersalah....???? Kalau orang Iraq yang almost hari2 terima berita kematian and dengan banyak kekurangan dari segi facilities pon boleh menang, macam mana laaa diorang kat malaysia nih berlatih haaa???? so many factors contributing to the kekalahan yang paling teruk dalam sejarah bola sepak negara....ceh post ni aku nak tulis in malay sebab...ntah laa konon2 patriotik tapi seriously players pon ramai nya yang aku tak kenal pon. Except some very few names like akmal rizal. The rest are unknown to me. Kalau Almarhum Mokhtar Dahari masih hidup, menangis dia tengok betapa teruk nya performance young players nih.....Tu pon blom diskas about the management side and sape kepala2 management dia.....Setakat seorang letak jawatan doesnt really make much of a different pon. Except kurang sikit some kuasa mutlak, i reckon....

At least those under 12 players could save some grace. Dont politicize the game laa...let the best do their best on the turf and let us enliven those glory days of Mokhtar Dahari, Soh Chin Aun, Santokh Singh, R.Arumugam, Zainal Abidin Hassan, Ghani Minhat, and many more veteran, dead or alive hall-of-fame Malaysian players who have fought tooth and nail to become the champion they were selected to be. Bring back the "fever pitch" feelings we had once upon a time when we were dubbed the South East Asian tigers.

Posh and Becks

The Beckhams leaving the British shore to the more sunnier ground:LA. Eh Zewt, is sunnier ground is equal to the proverbial "the grass is greener on the other side"?

Umm....what can be said about Posh and Becks that has not been told yet (plenty more i supposed in the very near future gossip columns in The Sun and Daily Mail)? I found this photo on AP most viewed photos linked to yahoo.com. I think Lily would come up with much better things to say/anecdotes about this couple.

They definitely wanna make a ginormous entrance in LA....just recently, Becks was voted the hottest English male based on the E! Entertainment Hollywood pole. And Victoria also made some story of herself there besides that whole Spice Girls reunion and her boobs (wot-e-va).

Married for 8 years, produced 3 boys and hoping for more to come esp in the form of a girl this time, most talked and gossiped after couple in Britannia, Posh probably the most famous WAGs or the eponymous WAGs, ape lagi yea....makji esah, tolong sambung........

Both wrote a biography book about themselves and both love to be showered in limelight appearing in many different styles from head to toe whether alone or together. You either worship them, love them, idolize them, admire them or despise them but they managed to get going all these years.

Sengaja = Deliberately

I've got like loadsa to tell but after 01 July 2007, I've been keeping things to meself. Ade satu malam tu i cried a bit before i fell asleep, something about bersyukur, contemplating about some few personal things, family issues, missing someone so dear to me and all that shit jazz. And this week is the beginning of the university semester 2007-2008. I will be teaching the third year students on Transport Phenomena 2 for the chem-eng students and mah best buddy yana gonna teach that subject to those biochem-eng students.





Man, i've been like watching Wimbledon Tennis Grand Slam almost everyday since day numero uno. And last sunday, 08 July 2007, I was almost completely and utterly (butterly...hehe) focusing on watching the gentlemen's single final match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal... (Sambil2 tu sempat belek and study a bit on some few chapters in Geankoplis ' Transport Processes book depan tv gitew).... Superb game that i have so bloody wished that I was there among the front audience at the infamous Centre Court. I so hope that one day when i am fucking filthy really rich, I will definitely secure the semis and final for both men and women single Wimbledon matches tickets, enjoying the traditional strawberry and cream, and sitting amongst the posh tennis enthusiasts....fantastico....how i marvel at that thought. And once the game finishes, I'll do my summer sale shopping. Somehow, i am also considering of attending most of the Grand Slams anyway, including Melbourne, Flushing Meadows in NYC and Roland Garros in Paris.





I have like loadsa photos on last sunday's match but i'll save this entry for this weekend inshallah. It was overwhelming that match....5-sets.....Federer cry-baby scenes that made me shed few tears....Breaking Bjorn Borg records that he made in 5 consecutive matches from 1976 to 1980.....what else....Nadal , the undisputed king of clay court, with his beautiful biceps swung the tennis racquet with full of grace and relentless power and managed to force Fed into the 5th set......Thanks to channel 82 that I still manage to continue watching Live Federer win since 2003. I've been watching him winning on BBC 1 from 2003 to 2005 and then 2006-2007 on channel 82 Astro. Please dont think that this is some sorta infatuation or anything coz i dont fancy Federer. I do however, admire his guts and perseverance on keeping up his performance and aspirations all these years. 1990s belongs to Pete Sampras (and Andre Agassi) and the 1st millenia decade seems to be on Fed's side.



Alrightie, still got some lecture notes to do. Ciao people.
