EURO FINALE

just a short post as I need to catch up with my precious sleep soon :)
YAY!! Spain won de Final against Germany, 1-0. de only goal was scored by my Nando. woohoo. dats an early bday present for me ;) LOL .. nice taken goal cum de winning goal!
well done, guys.

overall, de match was interesting esp in de 2nd half. thumbs up to de Germans as well for playing real well despite de defeat. esp to Lehmann, if not bcoz of him, de scoreline would be different. and I think its fair enough to say that when Kuranyi stepped on de field, he changed de rythm of de play. he really brought some sparks.
a thing 4 sure, I dislike Ballack's attitude.

Casillas did pretty well also though not much. impressed by de performance of Senna & Xavi. well, for Nando, well done. he delivered at de most important time where he was needed. good play by Ramos too, but seems like it didnt turn out so well as what I expected. as for my fantastic Fab, didnt see much of him but overall, well done.
at times, u dont need to play beautiful football to win it. so thats it. ;)

beside Michael Owen & Steven Gerrard whom are my 1st class IDOL(I grew up supporting this 2 men),
de other players that I like their style of play are mostly Spaniards and they are in de Spain winning team. Casillas & Reina are my fav goalie, EVER. Fab & Alonso are my baby boy; creative playmaker with dashing looks (gosh! there I go again) and OF COURSE, my BELOVED NANDO!

well, finally, Spain lifted up de cup after 44-yrs (wow! that is Mama's age, btw) .. and for me personally, that was an advance bday gift for me. feeling really great.

till here thn, will b back soon!

* wondering why is de players that I used to associate/still associating with are all MF&DF. LOL! takde kerje kan pagi2, merepek je.. but really la, why eh? maybe I'm too fierce to deal with strikers who are usually 'smoother' & 'softer' thn de MF/DF who usually looked 'hard' & fierce. thn, what about goalie? LOL .. ok ok, enough is enough *

down memory lane

I went back to Bedok South, an estate where I used to live, grew up & had many great moments with my once complete family.

went there with Mama & Lil Prof. actualy to visit old neighbour who just gave birth to a baby boy. de new mum is my childhood playmate. haha, I still remember how nerd we were. SELEKEH!
well, she is still living there (since 1986), from a newborn to a kid-teens-adult, get married & has a baby. wow! we are close since our mums are good frens (along with bestie Luth & Wak Achan mums too).
she get married 2-yrs ago with a guy who is living in 'our area' too, we used to call him abang as he is few yrs older thn us, but that is what we called jodoh. tak ke mana la kan .. so now they are de proud parents of a healthy baby boy who weighed 3.76KG when he was born. they named him HARRAZIL FARHAN. nice name with good meaning.

HARRAZ = protector/protection
FARHAN = happiness
may with de presence of this cute lil boy will bring more happiness to his young parents & may this lil boy will be de protector of de happiness from bein robbed off.



we talked a lot as I'd not seen here for few mths since her late pregnancy stage where she was very weak and was warded to de hospital for few times. we were still gila-gila like before, and had gr8 time at her parents' place.


and bumped into few old frens too. haha! they changed a lot seh! best la .. I miss my childhood days. then I walked around de BLK-46 area, all de way till de market and at de end took cab at de opposite of bedok stdm.

at that time, suddenly I remembered dad bcoz he always used to bring me there & bought for me de tasty-yummylicious otak-otak. I miss him but he seldom bother bout me & or call me up asking bout my well-beings. I wish he is more concern of me. BUT HE IS NOT. WAKE-UP! dont hope too much or u'll end up dissapointed, I always remind myself.

*to de new proud parents; Fizah&Haikal, janganlah korang nak matchmake kan aku dgn Luth. haha! tak terbayang seh .. 16yrs of frenship is long enough for me 2 know him inside-out & that make my heart 'stiff' frm loving him. haha, dont get me wrong ya, he is not a bad lad but de most wonderful guy in my life (sekepala with me), but to 'put' him next to me as my life partner, OOOPS, ALAMAK! I dont think it is a gd idea. haha, well, not throwin him fully but for de nearest time, NO, A BIG NO .. LOL! tercekik aku bila dengar suggestion korang! and I told Luth bout dis, as usualy, dengan selambe nye Mamat ni replied "ok ape, nothing wrong. I think we need to give it a try since we keep having failed relationships" .. GILA! but apepon, I admit Luth has been de most patient guy in dealing with me & he is de 1 who know me almost 100%. and to those who know me well, they'll agree. ITS NOT EASY TO HANDLE ME!*

INDEPENDENT enough?

You are extremely self reliant and autonomous.

You are definitely into doing your own thing.

But you also wouldn't turn down help if you needed it.

You follow your own path, but you don't do so blindly.

well, that is almost true. what I did and goin to do are those I want to. NO FORCES. coz I hate that.

but I'm not arrogant to act clever so I'm always willing to accept advices/helps.

I might be stubborn but my heart has it soft spot. de main thing is u must know how to approach.

1 thing : please guide me if u see me has gone out of de correct path.

birthday wish-list

I'm getting a year older soon, and I'm not looking forward to it. haha! I dont know yet what is de plan for my Birthday dis yr frm Mama, prof & my lovely peeps. last year, they surprised me with a joyous celebration at de national stadium, hours after de match against Australia & de closing ceremony. to add de joy was, ex-lover (that 'old'-big man recite me a poem which he composed by himself, I was in tears and never I thought that 1st poem turned out to be de last 1 from him. we broke-off few weeks later).

well ok ok, lets move on ya, I have a number of things on my wish-list. and as usual, I hope it can be fulfilled. haha, I have good luck u know, like last year, I got few things that were on my wish list.

*WORRIED-EXCITED-SCARED*

Euro '08 - entering de SF

Euro-2008 is coming to an end soon. de 1st of two semi-finals is just hours away. and as I predicted, upsets happened. and for me, upsets are really needed in football to create some thrill and I was eagerly waiting for upset from 1 match to another during de group stage & de quarter-finals. :-)

out of de 4-groups, I only managed to guess 1 correctly on which country will qualify for de QF.
for Group-A, I predicted for Portugal & Rep.of Czech to make it to de nx round but it was Turkey who made it & Czech was forced to return home early.
in Group B, yeah I got it correct for my prediction. Germany & Croatia made it.
in Group-C, France & Italy were my choices to go thru but AGAIN, I got it wrong. it was Netherlands instead of France. and I should say, de results from dis group were really unpredictable in some.
lastly, de Group D, I thought Spain & Sweden had a good chance to qualify but Sweden didnt qlify while Spain made it thru. YAY-ness. de runner-up spot went to Russia.

in de QF, more upsets were on de sheet.
Portugal-VS-Germany. well, not only me but many others as well, were thinking that Portugal is good enough to win de game. for some, they are sensational. well, in de game where all players MUST give their fullest commitments, few of de Portugal players flopped & failed to meet de expectation. and thats de end of their Euro campaign.
Croatia-VS-Turkey. hmm, I got it wrong just AGAIN for dis match. obviously I was hoping for Croatia to win but Turkey proved that they are a team which deserved a respect. they are in de Euro not just to make-up numbers. when Klasnic scored for Croatia deep in de extra-time, I was fully sure they would win de match but de Turks had other idea.
Netherlands-VS-Russia. Russia gave de Netherlands some footballing lesson in dis match. I was really impressed with their performance & work-rate.
and lastly, Spain-VS-Italy. de most boring match out of the 4-QFs. BOREDOM and I fell asleep. haha. both teams were defending & keep on defending so thats it. not much can be said when both coaches used de same tactical approach. lucky for my Spain, they made it to de SF.

so de SFs are real soon & I will keep my mouth shut from predicting anythg. I have only 1 hope, that is to see Spain in de Final. may my wish will b granted.

PERAK - foods & accomodation

finally, I managed to take a break, though a short one only. its ok, at least la. Perak was de destination. had been planning bout de trip for about a month but cudnt get to set de date as we were busy with our own commitments.
so I had a wonderful & memorable 4-days trip to Perak, from 10-13 June.

I went there with Bestie Luthfie & Aida, along with double-H & Mr.Teacher-LH. Aida & Luth, thank u sooo much for bein able to make urself free for detrip. if not, I wont be able to go as well bcoz Mama wont let me to.
de 3-guys took their turn to drive all de way to Ipoh. it was a long journey, full stop. we had fun on our way there with de singings, jokes, etc. u guys are fun!
and before I move on, I wanna thank dat Perak-man AKA my tour guide (his family as well who were in Ipoh when we visited) for all their helps, guidance & many more during our 4-days there. he made our trip smooth. thank u again, dude! I appreciate it lots & yeah, I fulfilled my promise to u that is to visit u soon. I did! :)

HE wanted us to stay at his apartment but we refused. his parents & brothers were there visiting him so it wont be nice ryte, so why dont let them have their own space & time as a family. HIS parents persuaded us that they are fine even if we are there but still, we decided to check-in to de hotel. taknak susahkan auntie & uncle. we appreciate de offer so much though. and I felt so touched with their warm treatment to us. thank u again.

thn he recommended us de hotel at Jalan Sultan Abdul Jalil. it is called Syuen Hotel. a 4-star hotel. and Double-H said de hotel is good. okla, ape2 aje. we chose de 2-room Executive Suite which costed RM 900/day. we decided to share de bill equally and well, a deal! but I didnt pay anythg since HE gave me de money to pay my share bcoz in my past trips, I stayed at his place so this time he felt that he needed to pay coz he was unable to provide me a roon in his place. thank u, my hottie.
de unit has 2-bedrooms (there are toilets in both), living room & another toilet. yeah good choice, Hen. it was much better instead of booking 2 different rooms. so me&Aida shared a room while de guys shared de another 1. de RM900/day was worthy coz de services were 1ST CLASS! everythg is complete there.
it was a real headache sharing de unit with de guys, OMG, 3 is like 30. futhermore when HE joined us too during that 1-night. perangai macam budak2 seh semua! I & Aida were like, sabar jela. boys will always be boys. ;) and 'DE BEST STUPIDEST' thing was when they shocked me&Aida when we just came back frm a nearby pasar-malam. they hid in de wardrobe. GILA LA KORANG. PADANLA ALL 4 OF THEM LOVE-PARTNERS TAK MELEKAT LAMA, MASIH BUDAK2 RUPANYE! HAPPY KUTUK KORANG PASAL I KNOW U GUYS WILL READ IT. LOL.

I love de hotel's facilities. swimming pool with built-in Jacuzzi, steam bath, SPA, squash court & foot reflexology. all these located at de last floor, which is de 11th floor.
I pampered myself at de SPA with de relaxing massage, swimming like mad at de pool (lucky I didnt suffer any cramp) .. tak serik2 la aku ni ;). I showed my wonderful skill to them in Squash, REALLY, i can play it well. had fun playing it but I'm stil unhappy that I still failed to beat double-H even after 4-attempts. yeah Hen, its ok to be de looser but my game was fair-play, unlike urs. haha! thn I went 4 de reflexology sessions whnver after xploring Ipoh or de city around it. hehe, it was fun, really fun.

this hotel is de only 1 in Ipoh that has a HALAL restaurant whch is called de Silver Boat Restaurant. de foods there were YUMMY-LICIOUS. tak terkata sedapnye! frm seafood to local dishes to western, all were nice! worth every single-cent that we paid.
@ the lobby there is a lounge whch is called EMERGENCY BAR. haha, ape2 ajela kawan2 aku tu gelak kan nama lounge tu, me too actually. LOL. nice place to chill esp with de live pieces of music form de Pianist, really peaceful. de snacks, pastries & cakes served there were tasty as well. esp de mocha cake! OMG, soooooo nice. despite de fun we were having, me&Aida already warned de guys STRICTLY NO ALCOHOL YA bcoz both of us were fully alert on how bad things could be when they are drunk. so better remind them before anythg unwanted happen. thumbs up to LH for bein a non-alcoholic person! good!

during my 4-days stay, I noticed that anyone who come to Ipoh/Perak, will nvr die of hunger becoz FOODS ARE EVERYWHERE.
for fast-food lovers, there are Pizza Hut, KFC, McD, A&W.
there are many pasar malam whch open till early morning to fulfil ur cravings. so if u feel hungry even after midnight, dont worry, u can grab ur quick-bites frm de nearby pasar malam. pilih je nak makan yg mana.
there are many coffee house as well. and there r few whch open till 2am.
there are restaurants as well. be it Indian, Chinese, Malay, Western, Italian, etc.
not forgetting de along de streets road-side stalls which provide u de local dishes.
SO, U WILL BE SPOILT OF CHOICES.

before I forget, thank u to HIS mum for inviting us for lunch at HIS place. she cooked all de meals by herself. de foods were YUMMY. dont worry auntie, all of us kalau pasal makan, takkan tolak punye.
her RENDANG TOK was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS seh. even my mum's couldnt beat her's.
LAKSA ASAM, haha my 1st time trying. TOTALLY DIFFERENT from de 1 that use coconut milk. hehe, when I told Mama, she said tu LAKSA PENANG la, ape nye orang perempuan ni. well Mama, u know who ur daughter is, right?
ROJAK, more like GADO-GADO tapi, nice as well .. :)
and few other local dishes too.
ENAK!
thank u again auntie for cooking all de foods for us & thank u uncle for goin 2 de market to buy de stuffs.
thank u for welcoming all of us open-heartedly though de guys were like DUGONG!

to HIM (I know HE'll read), thanks again ya. and I appreciate our movie-date so much. and excuse my retarded frens for teasing u non-stop. well, I know u r fine with all that, kan. de 4-hrs we spent together was great & meaningful. I enjoy ur company.
I promise to visit u again soon, maybe as soon as end of de month (NOT CONFIRM YET) .. ok ok next time I will nt give any excuse on not to stay at ur place. ;)


i shall end here .. has been a very long entry ..


*will upload de pics soon k. I have too many stuffs to settle including my 3000-words essay*

PERAK - exploring

PERAK = the land of grace

some quick recaps of my my visit to few places during my short trip to Perak.

jungle trekking @ Royal Belum State Park.

I was against de idea actually but my tour guide AKA de Perak man die-die wanted to bring us there esp when de guys were monkey-ly excited too. argghhh! trekking on de very 1st day of our visit where my body was stil aching after de long trip? well, I didnt want to argue much as I didnt want to offend my tour guide after all his efforts. he is lil sensitive at times. ;)

wel, it has few diff treks so how long ur trekking will take is depend on whch trek u'l take. as for ours, we only took about 3-hrs as HE knw I was nt really happy with de outing. haha. good la. even amidst my lil protest, I still enjoyed de beautiful scenery there. de flora & fauna. I love nature actually but de trekking was really at the wrong time. I was introduced by HIM what is RAFFLESIA (I always heard the name before) & wild ginger. and 1 part of de trek, we saw de Orang Asli; they are unique and NOT weird.

water rafting @ Sungai Kempar

I didnt join de activity. onle de guys did. me & Aida were at de side of de water, looking arnd like 'jakon' gitu, haha ;) . de guys were having gr8 time I assumed with their loud & big laughters but LH was nervous in de beginning. de other guys (HIM, double-H, bestie Luthfie) were really enjoying their activity. de water looked 'rough' ... LOL

swimming & shopping @ Bukit Merah Lake Town (Water Park)

sthg like Wild Wild Wet back here in Spore, but not as big as WWW for sure. well, it still a fantastic place since I love water & swimming lots so I enjoyed every moment there. poor poor Aida, she was afraid of de high slide. kan, tak pasal2 kene tolak terus sampai bawah. *cheeky smile* and yeah that tour guide of mine refused to swim w us at 1st but at de end bein de last 1 2 lve de pool, still RELUCTANTLY.

there is a souveniers shop, selling many stuffs that I can keep as memorabilla & to give de people back here. de price was bit high, yeah I understand why based on de location. its ok, once in a while it wont hurt my pocket which is still thick ;) seriously, I didnt fork out much money becoz HE was paying almost everythg for me. feeling princess gitu kan ;) dah rezeki, jgn ditolak org kata.

Gua Tempurung @ Gopeng

this cave is very dark inside, REALLY DARK. I held HIS & Aida's hand throughout de entire session in there. and de pathway is so narrow till u need to crawl at certain part of it. lucky for me that I didnt go till deep in so I was spared frm crawlings, all thanks to double-H for telling since he xplored de cave before. de cave has 5 dome with different decor, formations & temperatures. UNIQUE! and yeah, de cave has cocnut-shaped ceiling. well, when u r inside, be careful of ur voice. do not talk too loud or u'll need to get ready to deal with de bats. de cave is very de quiet & u can hear de squeaking sound of de bats.

Ubudiah Mosque @ I forgot de location

I dun knw how to describe de mosque but I love de structure lots. different frm de other mosque I'd seen. and u should see it with ur own naked eyes to understand why I said so. very old mosque actually but still looked good & new. it was built in 1917.

PERAK - football

wednesday 11th of June, I was damn happy for bein able 2 watch my beloved Perak in action live in Ipoh,Perak. the Msia Cup group match was against Perlis. it had been really long since I last visited de stadium whch was arnd end of last yr so I'm happy to see many familiar faces in de VIP box once again. and yeah, I met de perlis' coach who is an old fren of my family for de 1st time since de death of his wife. he was still dwelling over it. I understand that, Uncle.

Perak started de game w/o 3 key pkayers = Khalid Jamlus ;) , Nanthakumar & Chan. KJ was on de bench as he just recovered frm knee injury (recurring) while de other 2 are stil injured.

Perak took de lead as early as de 4th min when Carlos Caceres scored an easy tap-in goal frm close range. early goal for them as Perlis was still trying to settle down. gd start.

Perak was attacking non-stop but de goal was just so shy 2 arrive while Perlis looked more defensive.

score remained de same till de halftime.

2nd half started well, more lively compared to de dull 1st half. both teams were trying hard to look for goal(s) and Perlis was rewarded 10mins into de 2nd half when 1 of their imports managed to get de equaliser.

soon after that equaliser, I could see Perak changed their tactic. everybody started to guard at their own area to prevent Perlis frm getting anymore goal. hmm, I was nt really happy to see that coz they had about 30mins more so by defending all de way, its hard 4 them 2 get de winning goal. Perlis was de 1 whch looked more lustful in searching 4 de winning goal. not much attacks frm Perak after that even after they brought in their sensational young striker Razali Umar & followed by KJ soon after. they failed to make any impact.

so final score, 1-1.

feeling sooo great after de match though I would be happier if Perak win. but its ok, they tried their best. caught up with few people I know there including few of de WAGs. haha, was touched that they stil remember me.

my 2nd day here & I had lots of fun. went 4 foods hunting after de match & sorry YOU, I knew u were damn tired after de match though u played 4 only 15mins but thank u sooo much 4 still hanging out with us till late night.

sad end for de lions

I was in de middle of 2-minds on Saturday. whether to go or not to de National Stdm for my beloved LIONS (nt all of them ya). I was still feelin tired frm my recent short trip but thinking back that HE already gave me de tixs & there was some needs for me to show my appreciation (though we r no longer together), I went there with Mama & Lil Prof. dat boy was xcited to go since he got to know that he could meet that 'UNCLE' of his.
well, that match was de last 1 to be played at de National Stdm. yes, de REAL LAST TIME, HOPEFULLY.

I have many wonderful memories to remember as well those bad ones with de Stdm since becoming a regular visitor there since I was 3. I'd seen de football matches, NDP, concerts, etc. during de football matches, I managed to feel de atmosphere of de full-house; de 55,000 strong crowds & there were times I was dissapointed w de people when seeing de Stdm was nt even quater-filled. but I'm glad dat we had de full house during de final of AFF championship & during that historic night, Fariq scored his 1st goal for Spore.
19-yrs on since my 1st visit there, I finally bid farewell to de Stdm. I'm welcoming de new Sports Hub :-)

not much can be remembered for my Lil Prof though, as he only had 7 shorts yrs of times to visit de Stdm. but at least, he still got to feel de atmosphere & de Kallang Roar. but he didnt have de chance to watch de NDP live at de Stdm.

well, move on to de match itself, the LIONS bid farewell to their home ground in sad manner. they lost de match to Saudi, 0-2. well, it was not de best of result to say goodbye but that was de fact.
how I wish things would be different. IF ONLY Raddy was much wiser in choosing his players & IF ONLY de players esp DE DEFENDERS esp DE NO.3 did much better & commit themselves more to de team.
as usual, we couldnt undo things whch had been done.

I wonder why must Raddy has so much faith in dat lousy defender? after all de STUPID & IDIOT-ICAL mistakes he did. ape seh? we are not lacking of players ok. and whats de point of calling up so many players when u chose to stick with de same ones even he didnt perform well. ALAMAK! I really wonder seh why must he had hesitation whnver he wanted 2 clear de ball? he was some sort like 'shy' with de ball 2 come near & touch it *sigh* dahla tu, lembab pulak tu! TORTOISE!
I guess de slow is like de slow traffic during de busy hours he needed to bear whnver driving thru de SLE thn TPE to reach Bedok Reservoir frm Sengkang. haha, lil nonsense by me, go figure it out!

thumbs up for Noh Rahman! well done, Noh! slotting in de position whch belong to my most brave & huge LION; Fariq, as de defensive MF, demand ur fullest commitment. and I was glad with Raddy, at least, he made de correct decision this time. Noh gave all heart out, putting up a courageous display & worked really hard. on so many occassions he helped de defence to clear away de dangers as for so many times, de defenders were caught having their very own sweet moments. I admire his determination where he is always willing to work harder to become a better player. a humble lad as well.

my MAN-OF-THE-NIGHT was de SENSATIONAL Hassan Sunny or Achan as he is affectionately called by Lil Prof. I dare 2 day that bcoz of him, de LIONS were spared frm losing heavily to Saudi. his saves were top class & well done. Keep it up! yet still, he couldnt afford to stop that 2-goals. IF ONLY, de defenders provided him with more protections.
since joining Tampines dis yr, he has been in gd form so far. he is doing very well whnver was called in actions. I have been admiring his excellence since.
I mean no offence & w/o taking anythg frm Lionel, I wish to see Hassan to be de 1st choice goalie for Singapore real soon as he is having a gd & fine form & season. I'm fully aware that Lionel has more experience in bigger matches compared to Hassan but if we keep on giving that excuse, till when will he get de chance? if he is nt given any chance, where can he gain de xposure & xperience in order to match with Lionel? de matter now is NOT only on Raddy but on Bee Seng (de GK coach) as well. he needs to play a part too but I knw a lil on what is happenin 'behind de scene' that stopped Hassan frm bein able to gain dat no.1 spot. I'm aware of that, coaches!
I hope my worst fear will nt come true where Hassan will nvr get his chance but Jasper will pop-out to replace Lionel although I realised Jasper's journey is stil far away. nothing is impossible.
to those who knw what I'm trying to say, GOOD! but if u r not, go figure it out. ;)
it is a matter of fact & I wont say it out if I'm nt sure of it. :-) our football arena here in Spore is really small anf if I could dig many news/info/gossips frm Msia football arena whch is bigger thn us, for sure I could dig at my own country as well ;)

well, till here thn. will be back soon!

*to me, and many others, u r nt a SUPERSTAR. there is no need to try being 1 coz u'll never able to be 1. it is already a shame enough for a former young player of the yr to perform like that. U might able to win the hearts/attentions of de 'football-blind' gals out there. but NOT US, DE FOOTBALL-LITERATE PEOPLE*

my Spaniards ...

a lil comments on de match between Sweeden & Spain .. 1st of all de final score was 2-1, yay!! another victory 4 my Spain .. phewwitt .. it was nt an easy 1, they work hard till de very end..

I fell asleep when de match started untill my mum woke me up to lower down de TV volume, haha, sorry Mama ;) ..

well, Puyol was substituted early in de game due 2 injury so soon after he left de pitch, de team's confidence looked shaky & disjointed. yeah it was nt easy to deal w de lost of an influential player like him.
my Spaniard Boyfie; Mr.Nando (Torres) scored de 1st goal even bein tightly surrounded by de Sweden's players who managed to impress me with their hardworks. yeah Nando broke his duck for Euro-2008, all thanks to David Silva's cross.
Sweden equalised thru Ibrahimovic, a nice goal indeed! he was tightly marked & de ball was already off his leg, but he managed to win it back and made a turn be4 pulling de trigger, and de ball went past de helpless Casillas. but in my view, Casillas could do better if he reacted faster.
just be4 de half-time, Spain was denied a penalty after a foul on Silva. it was a clear 1 but they were turned down by de FAT REF. ewwww!
Capdevila fed David Villa de ball deep in injury time to score de winning goal 4 Spain. n de stadium 'erupted' soon after de goal was scored. and de players were celebrating madly as well while de Swedish looked in disbelief that they lost de game which they had played damn well, just to lose it at de dying mins, OMG. dats football, full of drama.
Isaksson was doin gr8 job in goal for Sweden, thumbs up. and I was really impressed w him & de team as well. they werk real hard in dis game & despite ending dis match as de loosing side, they can still put their heads up. there was nthg 2 shame about on de defeat.
overall, I think Spain could do much better in dis game & I was expecting the performance like in de against Russia game. but still, I love de passing game they showed. perfect & beautiful.

and yeah, I just remembered, Marchena should nt be booked. he was not guilty of that Sweden's player's injury. de latter fell awkwardly on de ground after de 50-50 challenge and de way he fell that resulted to de slight injury he suffered. bad decision, ref!


I'll b back soon with more posts as I have lots to blog about (de lions, my short trip, more on Euro, etc). started to sneeze already so better I take my rest (a sufficient 1) as I still feel de tiredness frm de trip & bla bla bla ... ;)

League Cup

hmm, what a bad day when both Tampines & HomeU were knocked out of de competition on de very same night. well, that mean there will be no match for me here in SG all de way till de 20th of June but I'm heading to Msia soon for Msia Cup matches *wide smile*

as for HomeU, they drew de 1st leg with Gombak and de goalscorer was none other thn Farhan Farook, cngrats bro for de goal. really nice goal, I wish I could see de replay ;) and that goal made my long trip to boon lay worthful.
but they lost NARROWLY 0-1 to Gombak in de 2nd leg. so that was de end of their journey in de competition.

Tampines didnt fare any better despite winning 1-0 in de 1st leg. they lost de 2nd leg 2-3 despite taking de lead be4 halftime. well, dats football. LUCK DOES PLAY A ROLE.

HEART-BREAK ..!

well, bounce from it boys, lets prepare for de Sleague matches & de Spore Cup as well where Tampines will Play HomeU. another gr8 clash I guess. ;) especially when it'll be play after mid-season transfer window open. I'm sure I'll see new player(s) in Tampines' camp while in HomeU, I guess I will too. and maybe there will be player(s) leaving Tampines/HomeU as well. whatever it going to be, all de best!!

oh my lions

I have lots to note down bout de matches against Uzbekistan but I realised that no point to dwell over sthg which had already over so just a simple review by me.

in de 1st MATCH, i was really frustarted with de defence, and to b exact BAIHAKKI KHAIZAN. where was he? what was he thinking about? well, if he is too busy preparing for his wedding, thn let Raddy know dat u r nt interested to be in de team. *sigh* very slow & often caught napping throughout de match.
Benno was no better, a real shock to see dat kind of performance frm him. OMG, wat actually happening to de LIONS?
n yeah, y people keep repeating about Noh Rahman's failure to make a proper clearance? I admit that he failed but Bai was infront of him, y cudnt he save de situation? Noh was trying real hard to defend well, 1 after another since de 1st min of de game, but he was lacking de support of fellow defenders.
adding to my dissapointment was, he was substituted later in de match. y must him and nt other defenders who were having BAD TIME? sorry to say this, honestly I never doubt Raddy's ability before this but after that match, I concluded that he is afraid to drop his regular players to de bench. so whats de point of calling so many players to de national team when u prefer to stick with the old ones even after all those STUPID MISTAKES they did? there should be NO STAR OR PRIMADONA in order to be a successful team. all players must be treated equally.

and yah, I wont blame Lionel for de goals conceeded. yeah yeah there were mistakes by him but where was de protection he supposed to get from his defenders?

Fara/Fariq scored via penalty ;)
he played well except for de booking he received, check ur temper ya ;)

FINAL SCORE :
HOME GAME = S(3) - U(7)
AWAY GAME = U(1) - S(0)

living up a memory

once I thought,
I'm strong enough
to face all de reality
to face u once again
after all de pains
so I made a U-turn
doing sthg I used to
though it is no longer 4 u
indirectly, u r still involved
that was when
all my courage shattered
I tried to control my emotions
but I failed
I realised
I'm nt prepared, just yet
what I've been longing for yrs
is now infront of me
I'm confused
I tried to act calm
but that killer smile keep shooting me
I'm lost
all de memories appeared
flashing back 1 after another
dancing in my mind

why I cudnt forget u completely? It has been a very long journey, I have been taking 4-yrs to get rid of u frm my life but whenever I'm almost succeed, u appeared. it happened again, just.
why are u still nice to me after all dis? why u r still de same old u?
OMG !!!
I know u didnt mean to haunt me but by appearing again & again, but it makes me so hard 2 forget u. I wish I could turn back de time, edited de storyline, how nice it would be. but I'm a lil too late, I dont think there is a way for me 2 rule ur heart once again. we are leading our own lives & shouldering our own commitments.

anyway, I appreciate all de kindness u offered & thanks for bein a good & caring fren. we r nt fated to be a pair of lover but we r fated to be friends forever.

WHY ...???!!!

*till now, fallin in love w him was de best thing ever happened in my life*

*U'd left me but u didnt lve my heart*

*bcoz of that, I'm nt ready 4 a new love*

tough luck

de reserves

both sets of players

standing in pain. may u recover soon, Fez!

de early moment of madness

tough, tough, tough luck, dolphins. they lost to de super reds 0-3 in de 1st round of de League Cup. well, they were nt at their best. tired frm de hectic schedule they need to bear in de past days. dats football, there are ups & downs.

de dolphins conceeded de 1st goal very2 much early, arnd de 5th min, via penalty after a foul by Ali Imran. soon after, super reds got their 2nd goal. de 3rd goal arrived few mins be4 de halftime. so at de break, de super reds was having a healthy lead.

2nd half started well, de dolphins looked livelier. with a better play, completed passes, few attempts on goal, excellent defending, etc. but still, de goal they were looking for was just hard 2 arrive. luck was sho shy with de guys.

well, I need 2 admit that de dolphins were nt at their best during de game, but they played really well in de 2nd half. in my view, their performance in de 1st half was 'disturbed' by de early penalty. so de confidence was gone and it affected de play.

to the both of u, yup yup, both of u r welcome. haha, I feel appreciated whnver I came down to watch both of u, it is a pleasure. looking fwd to watch their nx game on 20th of June, wow thats long time to go. well, I hope they'll have de much awaited rest w/o taking anythg away frm their fitness.

*that killer smile, AGAIN, awww, shot my heart*
*if only I could turn back de time, how nice it would be*
*after all dis while, he remained to be de best man I ever loved*
