cuti raya dah abis. aku balik kl ahad ptg. hujan tapi tak jam sgt, nasib baik ada gendon temankan aku. w/pun ia tak boleh diajak bercakap but it's still comforting to see her sitting on my lap.
kat rumah, aku pun prepare everything sbb nak tengok game milan-modena. tepat jam 9.55pm, aku dah ada kat dpn tv ngan kopi satu gelas besar ngan kuih tart yg aku pau dr balang kuih kakak aku. hehehe...frust gak bila housemates yg lain tak balik lagi. diyana kata dia takde teket, zal kata dia tak habih beraya lagi. aku pun tengok sorang2 bola sambil petik gitar aku yg dah lari tune ni.
kat espn ada game arsenal-fulham. menarik gak tu tapi aku frust sbb dia org tak tayang Liverpool-birmingham.
it's a good thing that milan and liverpool didnt meet in any of the recent championships cause i wouldnt know which team to support cause both are my favourites. these are the teams to die for.
as for liverpool, i've been supporting this team all my life. by the time i was in tadika, i already knew who ian rush was. there were lots of posters of ian rush and liverpool all over the house even under the alas meja plastik. hehee...it's kinda family's club except for one of my brothers who supports man united, the traitor...
Milan, well for mIlan, it's the dutch factor. who could forget the legendary Marco Van basten and gullit and rijkaard. those were the days and that was when my love affair with the milanista started. and even when players and coaches come and go, im still in love with this team.
i wouldnt call milan's game last night exciting because it's not. despite winning with 2 goals courtesy of sheva, the game was nothing to shout about. milan's defense was sloppy at times. it's frustrating to watch such lack of finese by the back four. granted, modena was such a small team compared to milan but hey the combination of kampara and amoruso really impressed me. counter attacks by these two almost produced results and if it was the better team, milan definitely would be on the losing side.
the back four esp - cafu(simic) - nesta-maldini-pancaro looked shaky at times. pancaro was caught ball-watching. where the hell was his defensive reflexes? Nesta would have twist and turn, jump or roll trying to stop the ball but no, pancaro just stood and watched. lucky for milan, dida was always alert. i've never understood why milan bought pancaro in the first place. despite what the critics said, i've never been impressed with pancaro since his lazio days.
simic is a good right back. he has potential. i'd followed his progress for a couple of seasons and there was a huge improvement in his defensive skill.
serginho is a better leftback, IMHO. he is fast and love to create chances and worked really well with sheva but his defense a little shaky. i wish kaladze will be fit soon. i miss his tough, no-nonsense way of playing. his defense is quite impressive.
cafu is a skillful player but he's really roughed when doing his tackle which means he could easily be carded. he was jahat when he played with Roma.
the point of playing two centre backs means that Maldini will cover Nesta when he wants to go up front and vice versa. since maldini is hampered by injury and old age, he is kinda slow and so it's up to Nesta to venture out to help the midfield a bit. but what i've seen so far, both of them loved to go up front at the same time leaving dida to fend the goal all by himself. this is not the way it should be. i dont want to see another roberto carlos here, mr Nesta. please stick to what you do best DEFENSE. i rarely see him went far from his own penalty area during his lazio days. that's why he only scored 3 goals during the whole 14 years he spent at lazio. last season, he scored two goals for Milan, maybe it changed him somehow. there was no man-marking at all in this game. they really looked down on this small team.
lucky for milan, sheva is in top form. a beautiful cross from Pirlo resulted in the first goal. sheva as always, blocked with his chest to control the ball and simply shoot. he made it look easy but in actual, it was quite difficult to score at that angle. the second goal was the classic sheva, the ukranian bullet as he's better known as.
pirlo, the quiet, low-key and a very-very talented playmaker in the making. his accurate passes, his reading of the game and calmness made me enjoyed watching the game. together with rui costa, they could have created beautiful gameplay if they wanted to.
all in all milan didnt deserve to win this game but what the heck, that's football. forza milan! forza nesta!
yeah! boss bagi cuti tanpa rekod hari isnin ni. yea, tak yah keja. boring giler, sbb ramai dah cuti kat unit aku ni. keja lak makin nak cuti ni makin banyak lak release yg datang. leceh betul ler. itu yg lecehnya deal ngan omputih ni, dia bukan tau kita dah mood nak raya ni.
tapi aku rasa aku nak balik kg ari isnin gak macam yg dah plan sbb nak gi shopping sikit baju anak buah aku. ish! kopak rasanya bila pikir anak buah aku ada 30 org. waaa! kopak maksu korang. kalau ada anak2 buah yg tanya kenapa aku tak kawin lagi cam tahun lepas, aku tak bagi duit raya, tak pun aku luku kepala dia org...
kuih raya, kakak aku dah settlekan, baju raya kakak aku dah jahitkan. kemas rumah, mesti abang2 aku tolong kemaskan. yeah aku balik boleh rileks. hehehe...(mimpi di siang hari).
sejak start posa sampai sekarang, aku tak penah gi shopping, aku tak suka berada di kelompok org yang ramai aku pening kepala (kecuali masa demonstrasi dulu ler, itu aku suka). tapi sbb nak beli baju anak buah aku, terpaksalah aku berkorban, cehwah! tengoklah ahad nanti aku gi kejap kat sogo tu kut. ajak zal sekali. diy balik sabtu malam. aku harap aku akan beringat bahawa memandu dgn kelajuan 130 km/s di highway adalah salah di sisi undang2. seremban, tunggu kepulangan ku. hehehe...(pada hal minggu lepas baru je balik)
aku pun nak mintak maaf pada semua org yg aku kenal dan yg kenal aku. kalau ada strangers yg aku terlanggar masa berjalan2 tu pun aku mintak maap. bukannya sengaja. pada budak2 teknikal, aku mintak maaf sbb suka curi lagu dr mp3 dia org. abih tu sape suruh buat network sharing. hehehe...sori ler.
selamat hari raya kepada semua org islam dalam dunia ni.
it's almost two years since I last saw Bee. One of the few friends left from the DMC D - Lendu, 95' batch. we used to be close during our ITM days. B, D and R ( a friend once told us that he had huruf-huruf as friends).
B used to be very close to D before R (yours truly) came into the picture. i always had this suspiscion that B resented me for it. but of course the three of us became good friends until now.
a week ago diy told me that bee is getting married this coming december. so, last night diy and I went to Subang Parade to meet Bee for buka puasa and to catch up on the latest news and reminisced about the old memories.
it was great meeting Bee and I regretted for not making the effort to contact her before. she is a very2 nice person and I'd love to keep this friendship alive after this no matter what. it made me think how precious friendship is.
unlike some people, i don't have many friends, only a selected few. but the few i've had would remain my friends till the day I die. these are the people who stood by me when Im happy, when Im sad, when Im sick and when Im healthy. these are my friends for life.
last night, aku ngan zal pegi hantar gendon ke klinik. diyana boleh lupa lak appointment. tak guna punye co-owner. hehehe... it's about time, we are worried about her. we think she sufferred from a depression. klinik lak kat Uptown kat kedai akuarium tu.
risau gak sbb gendon tak penah buat vaccination. dr intan baik orgnya. dia bagi gendon makan ubat cacing. minah sekor ni punye pandai dia luahkan balik. pandai pulak dia buat mulut dia berbuih macam org kena sawan. alamak gendon, lu buat kita org malu lah. dr intan kata tak penah kucing lain buat camni.
itu maknanya gendon ni innovative dan creative. tak sia2 kita org bela dia. dah ler makanan dia lebih mahal dr makanan kita org. kdg2 tu bila tgh sesak, terasa gak nak kongsi makan makanan dia. agaknya kalau letak mayo ngan cili api, letak bawang sikit ngan pepper, mesti rasa dia macam tuna yg kita org biasa makan tu kot. hahahha...
balik pada gendon ni tadi, doktor pun nak cucuk pungkok dia, terpaksalah aku garu2 tengkok dia nak bagi leka, zal pulak pegang kaki dia. baik gendon tak nangis pun. doktor intan tanya ada mandikan tak si gendon tu. errr...mandi? errr...bukan ke dia boleh mandi sendiri doktor? hehehe...
doktor pun bagi ler lecture kat kita org cara2 menjaga kucing yg betul. zal mendengar dgn penuh minat, aku lak leka main ngan kucing2 parsi yg manja kat dlm bilik tu. dia org tu semua kena tinggal kat situ sbb tuan dia org pegi out-station/holiday. kesian lak aku tengok, semuanya macam dahagakan kasih sayang jer.
lepas tu kita org mintak pendapat doktor camna nak buat kalau dia tgh gila nak mengawan. ari tu kita org panik sbb gendon gila nak mengawan, ngiao sana, ngiao sini, nasib baik ler tinggal kat tingkat 12. badan dia pun dia keras2kan, ish tak berkenan kami tengok. bila dah seminggu tengok gendon terseksa batinnya, aku, diy dan zal telah menggunakan satu cara utk menamatkan episod gendon mengawan. apa caranya, ish!!tak boleh bagi tau. ini hanya antara aku, diy, zal dan gendon.  last2 doktor kata kasikan dia. dlm islam diharuskan kalau bergantung pada niat. doktor kata kalau dia kasikan, dia akan buang terus rahim gendon. tapi doktor kata kalau org, doktor selalu ikat sahaja dan tak buang rahim sbb boleh hilangkan seri muka. oh ye ker? hmmm....
aku penah berdebat ngan mak aku pasal hal kasikan kucing ni.
aku: kasikanlah kucing tu drpd dia beranak bersepah2. kalau beranak bukannya sikit.
mak aku: tanggunglah dosa sbb kucing tu nanti terseksa.
aku: kalau dah kasi, dia dah takde nafsu la mak, nak terseksa apa.
mak aku: kau dah ubah kejadian tuhan, dosa
aku: abih tu kalau beranak-pinak, lepas tu hantar anak2 dia kat pasar pun dosa gak. sekali dia org tu kena langgar camna.
tapi mak aku macam US jugak ada kuasa veto. kalau aku bagi hujah yg bernas camna pun dia tetap guna kuasa veto dia. sigh! tapi aku tetap sayang kat mak aku.
kita org rasa kita org nak kasikan jugak sigendon tapi kita org dah buat keputusan nak bagi dia beranak sekali lepas tu baru kasi...gendon oh gendon. i love cat, cat very nice ;-)
yesterday, it was raining heavily and the traffic was hell (well, what else is new?) anyway, i think i was given a chance to do the right thing, to sort of rectify my mistake and selfishness two days ago, so to speak. almost exactly at the same spot, I stopped and wait for a girl to cross the road. a bloody motorist gave me an irritating honk but hey what the heck, i felt good about myself.
i guess i'd forgotten about the promises I'd made to myself a year ago when I first got my car.
Some of the promises made were:-
a - not to lose my temper
b - respect other motorists esp those who had just got their license.
c - be patience if they drive like a grandmother because I used to drive like that too.
d - to let the passersby cross the road.
e - not to feel irritated if a mere kancil try to overtake my beautiful limited edition kelisa esp on the highway.
i think i am disappointed in myself for not being able to keep those promises but hey i still have a chance to do the right thing. And besides, i almost never used my honk and that's something, at least.
Aku teringat dua hari lepas aku tak berhenti pun bagi mamat Indon tu melintas padahal hujan renyai2. dia pikul besi. bukan aku tak nak berenti, tapi aku panik sbb tempat tu berbukit dgn lesen yg tak seberapa lamanya ni, aku tak confident. tapi aku rasa bersalah. aku asyik terkenang2 pasal hal tu. jahat ke aku sbb tak berenti. aku tak boleh tidur. camne ni? bila tanya roomate aku, dia kata dia pun kadang2 camtu gak. bila tanya kucing aku, dia tenung aku semacam je...
since i dont have a computer at home and it's highly unlikely that one would find me spending time at an internet cafe, my blog will be fill with stories of yesterdays.
last tuesday, diyana and I went to this new restaurant called Si Tupai Tupai. we went there not exactly to eat but to check the place out. the restaurant was quite cool, relaxing ambience and not much different from Nailis' concept. our seat was directly in front of this huge cage that housed several kind of species of birds.
i am not fond of birds actually, that's why I've never understood what satisfaction can people get from bird watching. well to each his own i guess. my brother is like that. once a upon a time, he had saved a one-leg owl. the owl was very attached to my brother (and only my brother) even though I sometimes help feeding it. ugh! what an ungrateful creature. no respond from it whatsoever no matter how hard i tried. at least my cat would jump a feet high if i tried to scare her.
well back to the restaurant. it's kinda peaceful here, it's like walking down memory lane with wooden long chairs that reminded me of our school canteen. those were the days. i like the lamps and the sarang tempua, the whole decoration to be exact.
back to the cage, it has a turkey in it. why would they put a turkey in the cage. a turkey would never win a beauty contest if there was one for birds species. diyana and i discussed about it and we came to the conclusion that the turkey was there for a reason, the cage must have been like a death row for it, spending its last day on earth with other beautiful birds so that it won't feel sad or something. hahahaha...so much for our theory. i wonder why they didn't put a Tupai (squirrel) in the cage.
i was disappointed because the restaurant didn't have western food during ramadan. well, there goes my mushroom soup. by the way, the mushroom soup at F1 restaurant in Kepong is quite good. as long as it doesn't taste like the campbell soup, it's great in my book at least. hehehe... but of course the mushroom soup at big plate, shah alam was the most delicious. they put the soup in the coconut-like bread and yum..yum...but errr...i stop going to big plate because i think the bread is getting smaller and smaller. sigh!
i had a kampung style fried mee hoon. it's quite tasty and the prawns and squid were fresh and that's something. diyana got a kuey tiow something i wasn't sure what since i don't eat a kuey tiow and had little interest in it. i love food very much but i don't know why I can't eat kuey tiow. it sort of like eating worms, not that I've eaten one, mind you. i felt like some slimy things crawling down my throat whenever i tried to eat kuey tiow ugh!
oh well, i thinks it's time to go home. it's almost midnight and the relaxing ambience at the restaurant made me sleepy. ciao Si Tupai Tupai, till we meet again...
Hi! My name is R. I'm a fast foodolic.
hari ni genap 9 bulan aku stop makan fast food McDonald ngan KFC dan minum Coke. semuanya kerana protes aku kat US sebab serang Iraq. aku tau kalau aku stop makan fast food dan stop minum Coke, tak mendatangkan apa kesan pun kat bisnes dia org tu tapi aku puas. aku puas sbb aku dpt pegang prinsip tu sampai skrg.
kalau korang nak tau akulah fast food and coke addict yg paling teruk pernah aku jumpa. dr zaman sekolah sampai kerja ni, sapa tak tau kegilaan aku pada benda2 tu. dulu, kalau nampak bumbung McD je, terus aku rasa nak makan burger ia. kalau tengok iklan kat paper pun boleh terliur, sanggu p keluar pegi beli. kalau satu hari tak minum coke, takleh nak function. macam tu gak ngan KFC.
tapi sekarang tak lagi. kau letaklah Big Mac ke ayam hot and spicy free depan aku pun, aku tak terliur. entahlah, marah aku kat US masih meluap2 sampai skrg jadi secara tak langsung ia dah block nafsu fast food aku. ada jugak org kata aku hipokrit sbb aku masih jugak guna brg2 US yg lain. itu aku tak nafikan tapi tak semestinya aku hipokrit. aku buat mana yg termampu dan pada aku bila addict macam aku ni boleh berenti makan langsung fast food, itu dah satu pencapaian besar buat diri aku. kalau ada fast foodolic anonymous, mesti aku boleh jadi contoh terbaik.hehehe...
