-For all we know
All that you thought you'd never have
You hold in your hands
All that you thought you'd never love
Iis right here above you
It's cruel

All that you thought would disappear
Is waiting right here
And all that you hold deep in your soul
Can never be sold

For all we know, these days are all numbered,
But things could get better I know,
Cause I'll be the first and the last one to go,
Lord it's a cruel, cruel world

For all we know,
These days are all numbered
And things will get better I hope,
Cause I'll be the first and the last one to go,
Lord it's a cruel, cruel world without love

It's a cruel, cruel world without love
Further Seems Forever - For All We Know

The Used - It's Hard To Say

-Sick & Frustrating
It was so sick and frustrating of watching the Malaysian national team played in the Tiger Cup tournament. If you ask me who should be blamed. I'd say the first on the list would be the coach. What's his name again? that sick Bicksei fellow! I'd doubt his ability as coach the moment he dropped Indra Putra Mahyuddin and included in many young untested players. It was obviously the biggest mistake he did even before the tournament started. Personally i regard Indra as the best playmaker/centre midfield in the country. And the coach dropped him, kononnya based on current form.

I don't understand the rational of national coach, Bertalan Bicksei of being so defensive of striker Khalid Jamlus. Khalid has been given enough time and chances to prove himself and he failed in three consecutive matches! Against Timor Leste, ok fine, the fans could forgive him. Next, the Philipines. He played extremely bad! Easily losing ball to the opponent and he was so damn slow! He was just lucky to have scored two goals (one of them was from the spotkick).

Khalid Jamlus was UNFIT! He can't even run for the ball! Lari lembab! Damn. IS BICKSEI BLIND OR WHAT?? Even the crowds at the National Stadium booed at him the moment he's being substituted in the Myanmar match. I'm waiting what Bicksei gonna say to the press tomorrow. Please FAM. Sack Bicksei. Allan Harris was way better than him. There are a lot more better players out there that have not been selected. The current national squad is simply not the best around.

Utusan Malaysia's report was just utter rubbish. Can't they see how bad the team played?? yet they still praised the squad. C'mon, agak-agak la weh, lawan Timor Leste & Filipina tak yah aa nak puji melambung-lambung! Malay Mail pun satu lagi. Amri Yahya baru first match dah score dua gol, dah puji gila-gila. Lawan Timor Leste nii. Kalau Thailand ke lain laa. Amri was another blunder. Missed a lot of golden chances which any school boy footballers would've done better.
On another note, I'm sure many football fans out there would be missing the likes of Akmal Rizal Rakhli, Hairudin Omar and a few others who are currently nursing injuries.

I have to repeat this again. It is sick and frustrating watching the Malaysia-Myanmar match. You could see all the Myanmar players run for every ball even when they are comfortable with a 1-0 lead and with 5 minutes left before full time. Nak suruh Khalid Jamlus tu lari? Haram. Badan berat semacam je. Player lain pulak, bawak bola skit jatuh. pegang bola lama skit, terlepas (ie. Chee Weng. lembik sangat! memang patut coach keluarkan dia masa first half) Ni dengan Myanmar ni weiih! Haih.

With the way the team played in the three group matches, it is clear now that they don't deserve to be in the semis.

Dear FAM, please sack Bertalan Bicksei. He failed us. A local coach would do just fine as previously proved like Abdul Rahman Ibrahim and Wan Jamak Hassan. I don't see any positive signs that this team would improve on their game against Thailand in the final group match.

Okay to be fair, i should mention these few things. The Malaysian defenders were doing ok with Norhafiz Zamani, Kaironnisam and Rosdi at the back. The only problem with the team was that we don't have a good quality playmaker/midfield. The midfield which is suppose to be the engine of the team is not functioning well. Nak cakap pasal striker lagilah. Finishing lemah. Sayang Akmal Rizal takde. Enough said.

Kalau korang pikir entry ni macam aku ni bagus sangat. Lantaklah. Aku tengah tension gila. Suka hati lah apa-apa pun. Hahah.

Loghat Ganu pulak:

- Sunday Sundae
Read this long commentary by Zin Mahmud of Mingguan Malaysia on the latest Hollywood epic movie, Alexander.

Usaha propaganda AS tonjolkan kehebatan Barat

After reading many negative reviews from newspapers and hearing many dissapointing comments from people whom already watched 'Alexander', i decided to watch it now. Hah, sounds weird ey? BUT, of course without expecting anything good from it! The previous King Arthur was a mistake. I mean, it was a mistake for us to put high expectations on the movie and it ends up being very much a dissapointing one.

Anywayy back to Alexander, maybe i could just wait a few weeks more for the dvd 9 version to be released or perhaps hoping for someone to share it on the MMU campus network next trimester. hehe.

Check out Mingguan Malaysia's interview with Siti Nurhaliza. =)

Have a nice Sunday everyone.

The yellow shirt (Columbus,Ohio) above is the latest of my self-designed collection.
Unlike the previous 'Weezer' and 'role model' design which i copied from some online merchandise websites, this one is 100% idea and design by me. Using my favorite colors; Yellow and Blue! Designed in Adobe Illustrator. Thanks to Sticker Station shop, ss15. :)

Bosan-bosan takde kerja, design t-shirt sendiri. Haha.

-Perelih menang Malaysia Cup 2004

..did you ever look, did you ever see that one person,
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much it's like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
You let this one person come down on the most perfect moment.

And it breaks my heart to know the only reason
you are here now is a reminder
of what I'll never have..
I'll never have.. I'll never...
standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
But this table for one has become bearable.
I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you.
Short Stories With Tragic Endings by From Autumn To Ashes
