football crazy!

SChool, Teachers and FRiends

2009-02-12T06:12:00.000-08:00

I always ask myself why do I get up everyday, get dressed up and go to school. Why I don't skip school? I realised that the answer is really simple. One of the reasons is the interesting teachers that teach us. Cikgu Saidun in primary school. Cikgu Haslan and many more. They seem to make you want to study and get interested. They make you go to school because you have fun in their class. You know you're bound to get laughter one way or another. The same thing is happening in secondary school. We have got some wonderful teachers here. They make you laugh and gives you a lot of interesting facts. They just make life in school all the more interesting. Friends though I think is really the main reason we go to school for. That is the time in which we talk to each other the most and have fun together. Without friends, school will seem to lack something. I am very lucky to have wonderful friends by my side. Everyone that I've met in my whole life in schools so far has been interesting people. They might not recognise me as a friend but I still like them.It is funny sometimes thinking about how much time we actually spend together at school. Some of us stayed in the same class and school so long that we can remember the tiniest details about them like the way they stand, laugh and how they look when they angry or annoyed. It is fun. Friends are the most important that we can get in our lives. I certainly don't have a lot of them due to being anti-social. XD but they make a world of difference to me. Last reason that we actually go to school is maybe we are gonna get a fair whacking from our parents if we skip school. XD. At least I know I will.XD

Barack Obama!

2009-01-21T05:51:00.000-08:00

He is sworn in today to become the 44th President of The United States. He is also the first black to become President in America showing the racial divide is disappearing over there. His inauguration is just before the 130th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration and one day after Martin Luther King Junior day. He is the 4th youngest president ever in American history at 47 years old. The crowd is over 1.5 million and most of them cannot see anything but just wants to be part of history. This is the highest attendance at an inauguration ever! He had to attend to 10 balls in that happy and busy night. Now problems lie ahead for him, he has to solve the economic crisis and solve the Iraq war issues. He is the leader of one of the strongest country on Earth if not the most powerful. The burden of responsibilty is greater than any of us can imagine surely. I have faith in him though that he would turn America around and so turn Malaysia around cause the Economic crisis is also hitting us! Go Obama! Yes WE CAN!

Dreams, They are So Strange

2008-11-21T00:58:00.000-08:00

Nowadays during holidays I dream about school whenever I sleep and I am not sure why. This habit probably started during last year's school holiday. Last year I dream about OTS and this year I dream more about BL. It is rather strange. The dreams are like so realistic. Every inch of the school looks extremely real. It also is about common issues I had this year (most of them). A lot of people regularly pop up in my dream but I can't name them for you. XD Especially one person. Conversations seem realistic as well. Dreams are so weird. Like this afternoon while I am taking a nap , I dreamnt about Victor and Daryl. Then when I wake up, I realise how much I think I will miss them but in life we just gotta move on i guess.( I am not gay.XD) I don't think I would have said this years ago but I think I miss school. Holidays are kinda boring although they are time we all earned via our hardwork throughout the school year to relax. Maybe it is because we miss our friends. They are one of the most important things in life probably besides family.

Barclay's Premier League 2007/2008 so far..

2008-11-05T03:17:00.000-08:00

It has been for me a wonderful season by far. It is definitely much more open this season due to the multi million takeover of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi group. The challengers for the established top four this season are not only Man City but Aston Villa and quite possibly Tottenham. I know they are rock bottom of the table but you cant deny the fact that they are very good against the big four. Meeting 3 of them drawing 2 and winning 1. The last four points came against Arsenal (4-4) and Liverpool (2-1). I believe that Harry Redknapp or occasionally known as Harry Houdini is doing wonders with the very same players that Juande Ramos had. There is no question that this side is full of talent. With Luka Modric and David Bentley looking like they were reborned under Harry Redknapp. The seemingly impossible to gel striking partnership of Bent and Pavlyuchenko has also been solved with 4 goals from both in the last 3 games. This team right now is the team to beat really.Their horrendous start seems a million mile away now. Now going back to my topic the BPL. Hull City has been quite a surpise package this season. They were unbeaten in four games before they lost to Chelsea the last week and narrowly lost their wonderful away record this season 4-3 to MANU last weekend. Geovanni has been on excellent form and I believe the Tigers could roar on to a top half of the table finish. Not bad when many predicted they will among the first to be relegated. Imagining that they were bottom of the 4th division of football just ten years ago, it is a wonderful start to their season. Stoke City's secret weapon as many of football fans know is Rory DElap's long throw. He can throw them extremely deep into the box and causing havoc as Arsenal and Everton and Sunderland found out. Half of the Stoke's goals came from the throw in. Liverpool and Chelsea is winning matches like the never did but both lost their unbeaten records one week away fom each other . The draw against Middlesbrough for West Ham last weekend prevented them from losing 5 matches in a row. They lost their shirts sponsorship( that is why the numbers of the player is on the front of their jersey) and the millionaire owner who is an Icelandic and we all know what happened to Iceland had his assets frozen cutting quite a sizeable fortune away from him. West Ham are without a doubt struggling and oops nearly forget a lawsuit filed by Sheffield United who were relegated two seasons ago which is worth 50 million pounds I believe is also on the horizon. The wages of the players some overpaid such as Bellamy worth 60,70, 100 ooo pounds is also a problem. It is very hard to imagine who would want to bankroll the club now. Newcastle's season is somewhat on the downside with so much expectations on them before the start of the season. Kevin Keegan's sacking triggered protest from fans that made it a similar story to 2 or 3 seasons before when fan power in the end winning ( Freddy Shepard the unfortunate owner last time). Now Mike Ashley looks to sell the club but I think it will be very hard to find anyone that want to own the troubled Tyneside club. Although their interim manager did change things a little with two conscecutive wins against West Brom and Aston Villa. This weekend once again promises an intriguing round of matches with the one standing out the most is The Red Devils (MANU) vs The Gunners (Arsenal). Could the Gunners turn their rather horrendous start which so them lost 3 matches ( same total as the whole of last season) against MANU at home or could the The Red Devils continue their hot streak?

Who and What influences me the most.( not in order)

2008-11-01T23:52:00.000-07:00

1. My sisters (their constant teasing keeps my feet on the ground all the time)
2. Music (sometimes a song can change my mood from sad to happy)
3. My friends ( always there to help me out and give me extremely useful advises)
4. My mum and dad (teaching me new philosophies in life)
5. Football (something to keep me entertained sometimes)
6. School (where I get all my knowledge and have fun)
7. Heroes ( inspirational stories about humble beginnings and successes)
8. Certain tv shows (teaching a new point of view in life)
9. Teachers ( they teach us, not necessarily all of them I like though )
10. Science (gives a bit of sense about this whole world)

DEcisions decisions..How they shape your life.

2008-10-12T04:35:00.000-07:00

I have decided to write about this because it is kind of interesting to me how decisions that you made in the past can shape the present. It is probably inspired by the prefect thing. I got chosen for it in July I think but without even trying, I decided to quit because I don't have self confidence that I carry out the duties. Crutially though, Cikgu Lucy don't allow me to quit. Teacher's decision to not allow me to quit probably helped me out in the end even though I wasn't really pleased with teacher's decision at first. On hindsight though, teacher is right you will never know before you try because being a junior prefect is so fun. I stink as a prefect but I feel a bit more daring lately but I still don't have leadership that is without a shadow of a doubt. At first my decision to quit seems right because it is kind of hard to be a prefect but after 2 or 3 weeks in it is very comfortable. (I even now still don't feel good scolding people though but getting more used to it) I can probably say I am one of the worst prefects. PEople who had worked with me surely know that because when I always repeat the way I scold people. It is very consistent in a bad as in very repetitive.( Even I get bored of myself sometimes) (Probably because I am anti social) I have lot of though being a prefect mainly because met new friends and having some wonderful seniors to guide me. Now reflecting about my decision to quit, I think is kinda daft and fortunately Cikgu Lucy is the type of teacher that doesn't allow people to quit easily and wants the best out of people most of the time. I feel very lucky to still be a prefect now but I actually think they are many more people that deserves this position more than me.

Songs

2008-09-16T05:10:00.000-07:00

I like songs because they are so beautiful. You can sometimes relate your feelings with the song. To me when i am down, i would like to listen to happy songs. It depends sometimes I also like songs like Daniel Powter-Bad Day when I feel down. When you feel down, please don't listen to songs like Jordin Sparks feat Chris BRown-No Air.That is my personal opinion. Certain parts of a song is very special as well. Take for example to me the part that I can remember about Jason Mraz and Colbie Cailat's song is "Lucky I am in love with my best friend", it is because it is kinda like what I feel. You may not notice or maybe all of us do this, I repeat songs in my mind. When I am quiet, I am actually thinking about songs..the lyrics and tunes..(well most of the time hehe) Songs are just very special to me. CErtain songs with absolutely no meaning as well can be nice maybe because of their beat or tune. ESpecially the oldies or a Mexican song that I just cant seem to remember who sing. I think though that we shouldn't merely listen to it, we should try to write and sing some of our own. You don't have to sing it to anyone but yourself.I do that all the time. I sing them in the bathroom( lyrics just come out).Who cares about how horrible your voice is( i mean mine is the worst voice in the world) In the end you're the only one that is gonna listen to it and it helps you express yourself! You dont have to be a gifted singer to write a nice song just as long you are the only one listening to it.You think it is nice and fun then it is nice( i am not even sure what am I typing makes sense) . The songs that is repeated in my mind now is DAniel Powter -Next Plane Home.XD I love songs!

1. Sing and dance with the tune of every single song I like.

The Bejing Heroes and Losers

2008-08-26T07:53:00.000-07:00

This title may sound a bit familiar with people who read the Borneo Post on Tuesday,26th August 2008. I copy a bit hehe. Changed it slightly though. Enough of that let's get to the point. Michael Phelps is certainly the biggest winner in the competition because he broke the 36 year old record of Mark Spitz that is winnning the most gold medals at a single Olympics. He got 8 and broke 7 world records and 1 Olympic record.He is the greastest Olympian winning 14 gold medals and 2 other medals at both the Beijing and Athens Games four years ago. A record that is hard to see could ever be broken. Then you have Elena Isinbaeva who won the women's pole vault event with just two attempts. Her opponents all cant clear past 1.90 but after she won , she went for the Olympic and then World Record of 5.05 and she did it with her last chance to the joy of the 90,ooo people in the stadium left. The darling of athletics just loves to break the world record. I think this is her 24th world record and she like to scrap it centimetre by centimetre. Lightning struck the Bird's Nest when Usain Bolt won the 1oom,200m, and 4x100m in world record time. If hes hasn't slowed down who wold have imagined what kind of time he would have set in th 100m because he became the fastest man in the world with a time of 9.69 seconds! He is a Jamaican showman and my father said he is like the next Carl Lewis. Steve Hooker won the men's pole vault event in a new Olympic record. Similar to ELena Isinbaeva, he won it but in the end decided to go for the Olympic record which is 5.94. On his last jump he did it as well! He has nerves of still cause he had to have 3 jumps at a single height for at least three conscecutive height. Astonishing! Thia Hallebaut won BElgium's 1st ever track and field gold in the women's high jump with her family crying in joy! She beats a Croatian to do so. The biggest loser is probably is Liu Xiang who bailed out in the 110m hurdles heats cause he has suffered an injury. He limps off with the crowd stunned. China's hopes of a medal in track and field is gone. He is also the defending Olympic champion. Roger Federer lost his Quarterfinal match to James Blake that signalled the serious end of a glorious era for Federer who won 12 Grand Slams I believe. He is lost in his worst year since he started his tennis career winning only two tournaments this year. He lost the Wimbledon Final to Nadal too. He does however win the Doubles together with Stanisla Wawrinka and claim his 1st gold medal at the Olympics on his last day as world number one before it is officially handed to Rafael Nadal. The USA team in the women's and men's 4x100m also end up in the losers side because they both dropped the baton at the 1st heats. It was dramatic and astonishing. This is probably all. Come ON LONDON 2012!!

Football Fever!

2008-07-24T19:53:00.000-07:00

Like in my MSN BPL is coming back in 23 days(and counting)!Can's wait to watch nine months of extreme action and intensive football schedule!I hope that it will be full of goals last season and of course a whole lot more as the saying goes "Screamers/Scorchers and Rocket".Can't wait to see what can C.Ronaldo conjure up this season but more excited about Liverpool's prospects.Come on ya'll REds..Right, don't be surprised if you see me with really huge panda eyes watching football!During the season,I will drink,eat and sleep football!Unfortunately my Milo football cup broke so can't drink football...lol..So excited!!And of course ..wanna see Modric and several new signings in action!

Oral exam!

2008-07-22T04:47:00.000-07:00

My first oral a few months ago was a disaster so I decided that I wanna correct it.During the first oral, i was so nervous I think I can faint! When I walk towards the front, I can't stand looking at all of my friends(don noe why).It was all a blur.The only face I can remember seeing Cynthia and Othniel's face..So nervous!This time though, it was better( I start to realise that they're all the friends that you talk to and see everyday so why be afraid)(It sure took me a long time to realise it)I feel much better in front talking (still some lingering doubt) this time.Unfortunately it was too short..Wateva lah..at least took the first step..So jealous lah..How do you guys talk with so much confidence...hehe..just kidding..

Why I don't know how to cook!

2008-07-22T04:41:00.000-07:00

There are multiple reasons why i don't know how to cook.One of them is because I am spoiled and I am not proud of it.Another reason is ( you can me girly or something)the oil will splash all over the place and I know first hand that if it hits you it hurts.I am too lazy to take the first step that is asking and telling my parents that I want to cook.Anyway,I don't my sisters saying "Form 1 alredi baru know how to cook,we blah blah"..so annoying like when i learned how to tie my shoes 2 years ago, they keep teasing me!!! I will try to cook one day but it won't be any time soon!

Wimbledon 2008

2008-07-06T16:41:00.000-07:00

This is one of the oldest tennis competition in the world.Going back to the 18th century.Roger Federer looked worried as Nadal took the first 2 sets with the same scoreline that is 6/4.Federer wasted several break points and so lost the second from 4/1 up.In the third he look out of sorts because he started complaining and talking to himself when usually he is very calm.He was 5/4 up when I went to sleep.What happended is rain poured onto the court and play is suspended.This morning I checked and the internet headline reads "Thrilling match".Federer broke back 7/6 7/6 in the 3rd and fourth before in the last set after rescuing a few Championship points from Nadal.Nadal collapse to the ground as he won his first Wimbledon title.Federer doesn't look so pleased but he will come back next year!

The Kings of Europe!

2008-06-30T18:24:00.000-07:00

The final was held at the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna,Austria as shown in the pictures above.Enrique Iglesias whose father was once a Real Madrid goalkeeper performed "Can You Hear Me".Then the national anthems of Spain is played and followed by the German national anthem.The kickoff and it is a very exciting opening half.Spain got the best chances. Iniesta's shot deflected of a German defender and Jens Lehmann forced to a great reflex save.Fernando Torres struck the bar.Soon he would forget it though as he outruns Philip Lahm to latch onto a Xavi pass and lift the ball over Lehmann.It ended with Spain leading in the first half.Ramos later got a brilliant chance with the German defenders running all over the place he got a free header but put straight towards the keeper.Ballack came the closest for Germany but in the end the most exciting team who plays football the way it should be won it.It sparks bewildered celebrations in Madrid.Spain formed a guard of honour for Germany as they went on to receive the runners-up medal.The Spanish went up and got hugs from the King and Queen of Spain.Michel Platini handed over the trophy to Iker Casillas who becomes the first goalkeeper to lift the trophy and the first Spanish since 1964.Jens Lehmann look on with "what could have been" look.Bastien Schweinsteiger looks like he is about to cry.This is gonna be the last EURO Jens Lehmann is playing in because he is 38

Football ! Why I love it so much !

2008-06-28T22:48:00.000-07:00

I am absolutely obsessed with football.The first match that I ever watch I think is in between Southampton and West Bromwich Albion. My first end of season memory of the EPL though is the 05/06.I remember seeing Birmingham supporters crying in television because they are relegated that season.I start to get passionate about it then. The first full match I watched is the FA Cup Final between Liverpool and West Ham United. It is the most incredible match I have ever watched till this day. Captain Marvel Steven Gerrard scored a thunderous strike into the back of the net and well it went to penalties as no more goals were scored. Steven Gerrard sent Liverpool towards the title..As I get involved with football..I also get emotional.. The World Cup in 2006..I cired when USA lost to Ghana int he group stages and crashed out..Later I cried when the English lost to Portugal on penalties..Then in the EPL after the world cup..I cried when Liverpol drew with Sheffield United in the first day of the season and saw Liverpool ending disspointingly in third..That is the first full season of football i watched..i witnessed a stunning United side that kept winning and never seem to lose won the BPL.. During the 07/08 season,I am cant get my eyes off the ball..I wrote the results of every single match down in my diary! A promising season ends in bitter dissapointment for Arsenal and Liverpool but Livepool ended the season with Torres putting on a show against Tottenham.. The Euro 2008! Go Torres beat the Germans!

2008-06-21T06:01:00.000-07:00

Look at this squirrel(i think) tring to be Robin Hood!!..Whoa looks intimidating..hehe..

My dogs

2008-06-15T06:40:00.000-07:00

These are my dogs. They are the custest dog to me. Although I have arguments with my sister about which one is cuter. I have to admit though that Bingo(on the top) is a very silly dog. It does things that make us laugh.They are already 7 years old. Goofy is a very smart dog. Don't ask me why because it does thing that a dog shouldn't do. I don't really play with them though. I hasn't really touch them since like Year 3. I know they won't bite me but I just can't seem to just well touch them...Need to go see psychologist..

Writing songs

2008-05-29T02:23:00.000-07:00

This is among one of the most fun things you can to do during your free time. Writing songs can help you express yourself. You also can do it for fun. Anyway, what I know is that it really helps me relax and calm down. Trust me though. No one would want to listen to the songs I write and listen to me singing. The lyrics and my voice stink. I still enjoy doing though. I think it is a useful hobby we all could take up. Don't stress yourself thinking og the right words though liek Cynthia or you will find it very hard to do. Let the tune and words come to you naturally. Rainy days are especially good for writing songs but often they are sad ones..

Earth

2008-05-23T06:42:00.000-07:00

This is the planet we all live in.We should try all we could to save it. It is because when it is gone and so goes us and not only us but all other living thins as well.Try to imagine Earth barren and it will be lonely too. A planet destroyed by human that float is the desolate silent space slowly dying.We don't have to make astronomical thing to help save the world. Recycling paper is also good.If we all do it.Try to imagine everyone of us are superheroes.Like what I did today.I recycled a total of at least 60 papers(because I used to like printing stuff)It makes you feel great! So be a superhero now ! :)

2008-05-23T06:24:00.000-07:00

The emotions of the Champions League Final is just unimaginable. The sadness in the face of John Terry tells it all really. He could have won it after Ronaldo missed but he unfortunately slipped and fell. Ryan Giggs scored and Anelka's got saved by Edwin Van der Sar. At the end of the day there could only be one winner but no denying that Chelsea deserves a round of applause for reaching their first European Final.

Friends

2008-05-23T04:01:00.000-07:00

They are the second closest thing beside your family to us. We all must have a friend. They are the ones we spend 4 or 5 hours at school with. I mean we spend 1/6 of our time with them.That is a lot considering that we all sleep 2/6 of our time. They are the ones that we talk to when we are bored. I mean no human wants to spend their whole life talking to the same people in our family. Sometimes the best thing to do for relationships is to get away from each other for a while so that we realized how much we need them. I think we all have a pyramid of friends according to how close we are. For me I think it is going to be: 1.Kindergarden/Primary school friends 2.Someone we meet very late in secondary school. 3. University friends. 4. Colleagues. 5. Someone you met on the street. Remember we can't choose friends, we only can become friends.Forget the crap that I just said. It was stupid and holds no meaning.... :)

2008-05-20T19:12:00.000-07:00

This pictures are from the Fa Cup Final of 2007/2008 season.

It is a very competitive match between second division Welsh side Cardiff City and Portsmouth.It is a battle not only between two clubs but two nations.Wales and England. Cardif City were the only Welsh side to have lifted the Fa Cup in 1927 and Portsmouth won it in 1939.Kanu sent the Pompey fans into delirium.Second half,Cardiff City tried everything but failed.They walked the 200+ steps of shame but Pompey won it and Harry Redknapp gets a round of applause. Go Pompey!

Pokemon!!!

2008-05-20T05:55:00.000-07:00

It something that fascinated me since I am Year 1 and i still love it! I do love Digimon last time but now Pokemon had taken over me. I used to wake up everyday to see the episodes until at last it ended. I used to play the game in my GameBoy but nowadays bored and lazy already.I can play for 5 hours straight non-stop. I don't have the guide book last time and usually solve the puzzles myself and it took me ages to solve one! Honestly speaking though the new generation of pokemon are really a far cry away from the original ones like Pikachu,Balbasaur and Squirtle.They become more and more ugly.Anyway, I still love it.

Go Pikachu!!
