IT'S WORTH THE SACRIFICE!!! IT"S FOR THE FINALE!!!!

WOOHOOO!!!! UNITED made it to the Champions League Final !!! I couldn't sleep well the whole night and i eventually woke up 2am when the match was supposed to start at 2.45am. I went down to the malay stall to watch live ManU vs Barca match with Jasmine, Ying Xuan & Vivian. Ooopss...not to forget Maggie as well who's a non-soccer fan that stayed up to watch a match. (Unbelievable)...

Now, back to the deciding match! The 1st leg between this two team ended up with a scoreless draw. So, it's all on this decisive match to see who gets to the Final in Moscow. ManUtd started off really well with better passes compared to the previous match. This was evident thru the better ball possession by United. The good start paid off when Scholes broke the dead lock early on in the match in the 14th minute with a superb swinging shot with his right foot. The whole crowd went berzerk with that early lead!! Well, who says old horse is not important?!? He proved that his wealth of experience could still be vital for United's Champions League triumph. That was the only goal for the 1st half and eventually the only goal of the match.

The 2nd half was pretty much under control by Barcelona but unfortunately, they cudn't make full use of their major share of possession to produce a vital away goal. It was such a nervous situation each time Barcelona managed to dispossess United... Jasmine said she wud get a heart attack for watching the game..haha. The most unwanted thing by ManU fans happened when Barca brought on Henry into the game in the 60th minute! Well, he's well-known for his ability to score goals. (We can't deny that) hehe. Nevertheless, he wasn't a great threat to United's solid defense by Ferdinand and not to forget BROWN (Vivian's hubby). Brown played exceptionally well to block Barca's attack. And of course our hero is the old guy at the goal post..Edwin Van Der Sar!! He made sooo many important saves to keep United's lead.

It was goalless in the 2nd half....and the most nervous moment was the stoppage time. The added time was supposed to be only 3 minutes. However, Evra got hurt on the face and had to be substitued with Silvestre. Then, the game resumed. We were so desperate to hear the final whistle and the referee just wouldn't blow it up till the 5th minute of the stoppage time! Barca got a free kick in the dying seconds but they squandered that chance terribly. There goes the final whistle and United are on their way to the Champion League Final!!! It's the determination that edge them through and IT's ALWAYS GOTTA BE UNITED!!!

3 things in the 3rd day of the week.

FinallY! Investigative study is done! Now, the only part left is the tutorial. Accounts class test 2 is over too. D.I is the only thing left for this week. After 2moro, it's a short-lived joy till the upcoming econs test. Came back from college quite early 2day... planned 2 sleep but just couldn't sleep. Since i got nth 2 do, i'll just blog.

Really feeling the stress 2wards the end of semester 2. No choice but to be optimistic and not pessimistic. A few more weeks 2 go b4 the holiday starts. Just cant wait 2 go back Butterworth.! Anyway, i'm beginning 2 feel sleepy now. Seriously got to take a nap for my brain 2 rest....z z Z ...

Movie Addicts.....

Yesterday, I planned to stay back at the college library to finish up my homeworks and to study! In the end, all the plans were just like NATO (No Action Talk Only)! Instead of sitting in the library, I ended up sitting in the TGV cinema in Pyramid.haha. Well, the blame should not be placed solely on me but also on my friends. These influential people are Drew, Jason, Chee Seng & Peh Hwa. They planned to watch movie at pyramid and I was tempted to follow them. So, I gave up my plan & went with them by Jason's car. As we were about to leave the college, suddenly heavy rain started to pour. Wat a bad timing 2 come out from the library! (Sigh). No choice but to run under the rain by covering our heads using newspaper.... That was not the end though. Unfortnately, a car parked behind Jason's car in front of CIMB & we had to wait for a moment b4 that driver without brain cells perhaps came to move the car! And off we went!

So, finally we reached Pyramid... and we watched "Over Her Dead Body".!!! Sounds scary???... Haha, it was a love and comedy movie actually. That movie was so funny that we laughed like mad fellows.(exaggerating). Okla, it was really funny though. Go & watch when U have the time. After the movie, we were looking for food & finally decided 2 give it a try at Esquire Kitchen. Quite expensive but the food was not bad. 5 persons with the bill amounted to about 90 bucks. Nearly rm20 per person. ThanX 2 Jason who was willing 2 drive us there....

EMO faces as we got in pyramid from the car park....

Still with the dejected faces even after the movie.....

So expensive...that explains y....


Our food....

See! Drew' s saliva was dripping! That's y he covered his mouth with a tissue..

Mechanics at WorK!

On Wednesday evening, Me, Matt, Jason, Chee Seng & Drew went 2 Pyramid to watch Ah Long private limited & Water Horse. Me, Matthew & Jason watched Ah Long Pte Ltd while Drew & Chee Seng watched Water Horse coz both of them had already watched Ah Long. Ah Long movie was really hilarious. Well, wat do u expect, it's a Singapore film! Okay, i learn many new things from that movie which includes some bad words.haha.

The climax was not during the movie. The real scene came in after the end of the movie as we were about to go back with Matt's car. Chee Seng had already indicated to us that the car's left back tyre has got not enuf air earlier. So, after the movie, we checked the tyre again & finally decided 2 change the tyre for safety. So, with this group of inexperienced people at work, U can imagine how funny it was. We looked as if we were trying 2 steal tyre instead of changing tyre. Luckily, matt has all the tools needed. Guess wat? We had 2 refer 2 the manual book on how 2 change a tyre!haha. 1st time maa.

However, it took us such a long time even just 2 loosen up the bolts. Finally, with my strength (che che, praising myself), I managed 2 loosen the 1st bolt by standing on the spanner. Probably, i am heavy enuf. haha. So, we changed the tyre with a spare tyre from the back of the car and done! Applause 2 the J7's 5 inexperienced heroes! Hands were dirty but it's the experience that matters... Below are the pictures...Sorry, i wasn't in the picture coz i was busy taking photos after succesfully taking out the tyre...

Finally, the tyre was taken out...

Thanx 2 our tireless efforts....

Tyre-less !!!

You'll always be remembered....

Yesterday, it was yet another sad day of my life. Yesterday, my left eyelid kept winking since early morning till the end of class. My friends said it's a good sign if it's the left eye. However, as soon as I reached home from college, I received an sms from an unknown sender. In the sms, it stated, "Still remember firdaus kamarulzaman? He passed away today". Firdaus was my junior prefect during my secondary years. He was under my leadership. He's a gentle, respectful guy & friendly too.

Recalling the moments I had with him, he said i had a fierce look when he 1st joined my group. He wasn't daring enough 2 talk 2 me initially. But, as time passed, we got along really well and he even said that "Abang pei jin nampak garang tapi baik orangnya". That's rite, he called me "abang" as he was 2 years younger than me. I never scolded him and even if he was late for duty, i never nagged at him. He's just a small guy and perhaps too gentle to be a prefect but i admired him for taking up the challenge as prefect. I would always help him whenever he faced problems. Whenever any students rebelled against him, that student would be in trouble against me.

He's still too young to leave this world. I'll never get the chance to see him again. I never cried for a friend. Now, you're the 1st one of many friends who have made me shed tears. It's hard for me to accept this but your journey of life ended here. You'll always be in my memory. I love U so much, Firdaus!

BadMinToN !!

Yesterday, me, Matthew, Ni Qi & Catherine went for badminton after college. Luckily, there weren't too much homeworks 2 do. So, i decided 2 join them... So, we were quite early yesterday as we reached there b4 4pm. Then, we started playing some warm-up games, beginning with me & Catherine against Matthew alone. We only had 3 racquets, so Ni Qi waited for her turn.

Ehermm... the warm-up game was a terrible one for me not because I didn't know how 2 play BUT a smash from Matthew almost made me couldn't celebrate father's day...wahhaha. Short moment later, it was Catherine's turn who was standing behind me! Instead of hitting the shuttlecock to Matt, she hit it directly to my (lower back). URRGHHH!!! What were they doing??!! Trying 2 kill me or play badminton??!!

Luckily, i wasn't injured..wahhaha. Later, Matt met his friend and borrowed another racquet. So, we played doubles wit me partnering Catherine against Matthew & Ni Qi in the beginning and later, we exchanged team. Not only we played among ourselves, but we also played with other players in the court. It was really exhausting but i enjoyed it so much. ThanX fellow friends!

Me & Matt against "fei chai" (blocked by matt) & another guy.

"Future" badminton stars (wakakkaka...)

That's the "fei chai" (guy in white)!!!! Hopefully he doesn't read my blog!

It's the R factor!! Man Utd 2-0 Roma.

Man Utd won again!! This time, it's the Champions League quarter-final 1st leg against Italian club, AS Roma. Guess who's on the scoresheet?? It's none other than the goalscoring sensation, Cristiano Ronaldo & the back-in-form player, Wayne Rooney! I've already mentioned about the empowering force by both players in my previous blog and it seems that what i said proves 2 be very true!! Ronaldo just can't stop scoring and Rooney has started to rediscover his goalscoring touch. Now, i just can't wait for the return leg match at Old Trafford to see if ManUtd can repeat their glorious feat over Roma last year with a 7-0 demolishing of the Italian giant.!! Anyway, i would be satisfied enough as long as ManUtd qualifies for semi-final.

Early tomorrow morning, it's gonna be a big match btween Arsenal & Liverpool. Matthew supports Arsenal while Drew is on Liverpool's side! Liverpool is referred as Liver'fool' by Matthew. So, the question is will Liverpool fool Arsenal or is it the vice versa??? Anyway, I'm not supporting any sides as a win for either team has got nothing 2 do wit me.haha... Btw, a win or lose for Liverpool is just the same for Drew. If Liverpool lose, he may not be dead. But, if Liverpool wins, he's definitely dead!! Either way the result is, he's gonna suffer from criticism from both ManUtd & Arsenal fans!
