Football Prediction of the Week

Ok Ok well from now on (if I can remember) I m gonna give some weekly prediction on the weekend’s football matches. So next week when I blog again ill know if Iam better then the fakes on Football Crazy. Ok speaking about football crazy I saw a bit of it yesterday. I just have to say it’s quite fake. Typical and what’s up with the new deft and dumb sidekick which I cant even bother to remember her name. Fork them. Anyway I m not gonna preview the entire weekend match instead ill try to predict the most anticipated matches. So for this week we ll start with one game

Liverpool vs Arseanal

Ok both teams have been finding it hard lately. Worst I guess is Liverpool. They ve just been so unlucky with injuries. Worst being Cisse who at the start of the season was an exciting prospect. Currently the strikers they have are Pongolle (dunno if that’s spelled right) and Mellor. Both are unproven and raw. Arseanal have been declining after a superb start to the season. The defense without Campbell is a suspect. When they play Cygan he tends to get caught out of position and sometimes tries to be smart when distributing the ball. Still they have the arrogant son of a gun Henry who even though is injured will still be a big threat. Another reason for the decline has a lot to do with confidence and mental strength, at the moment those area are causing them to lose focus. Funny that their problem started after their defeat to the Red Devils. Sir Alex was smart enough to not only beat them on the pitch but he was cunning enough to inflict a physiological blow after the match. He went after Arseanal by hustling them with all the niggling after match comments and complaints. That has certainly caused Arseanal to lose focus and it has been reflected on the pitch. Plus teams must have taken cue from the Devils tactics during that match. If you notice most teams did that to Arseanal, they limited their space, out hustled them and targeted their defense. Still for this match Id pick Arseanal to win because I think Liverpool’s strikers are nt good enough to do the job plus Arseanal will be keen to get back on track and I see this match to be their perfect opportunity to do so. Then again do not discount Liverpool as yet. To me they can win if they play all 3 central midfielders (Gerrard, Xabi and Haman) at the same time. Cramp up the middle of the park. If they are to rely on Haman alone to win balls then they re in trouble. Just look how Henry ran past him last season. Plus Caraggher is gona need all the help he can. Then put Kewell in the hole and just leave a striker; Pongolle maybe to chase every ball that comes his way and pressure Cygan till he cracks or maybe get a freekick for Xabi to score. The key here is to outnumber Vieara in the middle and check Henry whenever he picks up the ball from the midfield. If they manage to sustain this for a period of time Arseanal might get edgy and make mistakes. Another logic to have 3 mids is for cover. When you have good cover you will allow the wingbacks to go up. When they go up Cole and Lauren will not venture up front easily thus making it easier to contain Arseanal’s dangerous attack. So Benitez if your read this take note if you wanna win, if he doesn’t then Arseanal would win by 2 goals.

Alexander

Ok I haven’t watched the movie but so far critics hate. Then again this eclectic movie critic has not seen it yet in order to pass any judgment but I just have one thing that I just can not contain. Whats up with Alexander being blond? Typically stupid yank. Trying to change things.

Rugby and me

Stupid Astro fork you for not showing the All Blacks game. Yeah yeah I know England deserve the coverage for being the current World Champ but don’t they know the All Blacks are still a pull for all the rugby fans. I hope MiTV will have a rugby channel. If they do so, kiss my black and hairy arse Astro!

Speaking of rugby I realized I’ve not even talked Rugby for awhile. This blog started with my rugby postings but I realize the reason for this. Honestly the thrill of playing has been declining for me. I ve lost the passion and drive to continue it. There are a few reasons to it. Work being one of em. But its hard to say nowadays when I go for training its not what used to be. The fun factor is somehow lacking. I m a bit old school on this so honestly I really enjoy it when the old timers, the purist are there during training. Not that I have anything against the younger guys. To me somehow they re not that passionate about the team. In rugby and especially my team passion is a big thing. So when its not there you re gonna notice it. Funny I’m saying this cause a few years back all you can hear from me is rugby rugby. My mates even called it the rucks life. Still rugby plays a major role in my life and no matter what I still appreciate it. As one rugby coach & teacher said, rugby builds character and I seriously believe that. It did help me a lot during my student days. You know what it’s like in college. There you truly taste real freedom and the urge to be irresponsible is frigging enticing and not to mention the pressures you face during studies. So in my opinion in college you really need a release. The release usually is the problem itself. For some their release is sleep, sleep and sleep then there’s alcohol and then there is the night scene not to mention weed, porn, girls and to some, confusion (yeah certain people will know what this mean). So college is actually a vicefest if you re not careful. Which is why I owe it a lot to rugby. For me that was my release. Though rugby had its drawback it still helped me cope with life in college. Whenever I was on the field I was happy, all the shit on the day would just be forgotten. The sport also helped built friendship and camaraderie all which actually serves me in good stead till today when I m working. As I mention rugby is the ultimate team sport you re always supporting each other. The moment you stop that you know your rugby is wrong. So that knowledge of working with others really applies to this day.

Having said all of this in no way was Major an angel … No way

Happy 1000th Hit Blogy

Fuuyoooo Pak Cik Major dah tua …

I m touched my hit counter has just passed the 1000^th mark! (for those of you who are unaware my hit counter is located at the bottom pits of this page). Thank you all for taking time to read my ever lucid postings. No worries guys, for all the knowledge you ve guys obtained from this blog I wont charge you. For all the girls you manage to chat up using my interesting topics that I posted don’t worry, Its free. I wont charge for making you seem smart. Hehehe.. So to my 1000^th reader please mail me with proof of click to get your free bundle t-shirt.

Aisey its been awhile since I made any posting. Seems that’s been the case lately. Please excuse the Major as I ve been acclimatizing back to the working environment. See I took a week off for Raya I did have net connection but it was frigging slow compared to my ultra fast office connection. So it’s a tad difficult to make any posting. The last posting was exceptional laa..

Ok to where I left off from my last posting. Yeah our anniversary ok ok corny corny alert fork it. Seems I do have people reading my blog just for such posting. So to satisfy all my readers and for the sake of equality Major will let you in of some of the stuff the Major and his lucky fiancée do from time to time. But not all laa haaa …

Ok since I missed our Anniversary I was planning to take the ‘lucky one’ out for dinner on Saturday since I got back to Kl on that day. So I thought … Well lets just say my Dad fickly decided to stop over Muar for some good ol relative visit. Yipeeeee Heheheh Huhuhuhu … Lets leave it there leer huh … So it was only on Sunday did I get to take her out for dinner. Siang we went to a friend’s open house and to OU. Went to OU to change my anniversary gift. Well major isn’t petite enough to wear XL so we had to supersize me the shirt to XXL. Hahaha thank you Nasi Beryani thank you Ketupat Thank You Rendang and of course Thank You Satay Goreng. Anyway after going to OU we went off to dinner by the way the picture below is what I wore for it. Which is also my one and only baju raya. So after all the melayu food we ve been having the past few days I decided to get some Italian food. Mama mia … So we went to LaRisata, the one behind Jakes in Damansara. Well since it was a Sunday there weren’t a lot of pesky people there. So the setting was cool as there were only a few people there. She had a mushroom pasta I had an interesting black squid pasta. The pasta is like the lauk sotong masak dakwat or sotong ink dish. Really black man. It was quite melayu though the pasta, cause it was as it was spicy, with chili padi some more. Even though it was kinda melayu pasta I didn’t mind cause it different from your average ragu sauced pasta. Im adventurous especially with food, so I like to try new stuff. Still to me the best place for pasta is Pizza Uno (good food at bargain price) and another in Sri Hartamas haiya can not remember the name but its in the same row as 7 Eleven (a bit pricey though). So there you have it our quite little 2^nd Anniversary dinner. Last year it was bukak puasa at Pan Pac Glenmary. Next year it would probably be near our wedding day hahaha. Okla that’s enough corny story from the Major.

Cheers…

Baju Raya 

Blessed...

Hola!

This is just gonna be a short posting. I m still on Raya holidays so I m blogging from kampung. Hhhuuurrmmm feels guilt free since I m not doing it from the office. Hahha….

Anyway ….

Today is a really big day for me ….for us …
Heheheh ….

Well today marks 2 years since that rainy night in Swensens Mid Valley (which by the way has been closed down) where my fiancée and I got “official” so to speak..

Yeah Yeah I know some of you might say I sound corny (my sis being one of em) but what the heck. Today is just too special for me. Today is the day I feel that Im blessed …

And today; like I always mention to my fiancée, is the day I feel like

“Im the luckiest guy in the world”

Friday oh Friday

Well tonight I m treating my fiancé to a Japanese buffet buka puasa. So hopefully 2 things would happen first hopefully she gets to fast today. Second hopefully I don’t have to finish up her food to avoid extra charges. So my dear fiancée, if your re reading this (which I m sure she is) aiseyman mental block la pulak! Tak tau macam mana nak sambung ayat nih …Ok ok hopefully you can go more then 2 rounds and still finish your food.

Ramadhan Buffet
Speaking about buffet is it just me or all the hotels gone bongkers with the entire buffet price. A really top spread used to be for 40 or 50 bucks but now that’s considered cheap. To experience a really good buffet spread you ll probably have to forking fork out 80 to 100 bucks. Ok on a normal basis that amount of money would have lasted me for maybe a week’s meal. These hotels expect us to spend it for a night which you probably won’t experience entirely due to the tamak syndrome. People, just because there’s a lot of food doesn’t mean you should build a mini volcano on your plate each time you go for rounds at the buffet table. Yeah yeah I know la if you pay peanuts you get monkeys but isn’t this a tad bit overboard. Considering the increasing cost of living here in Malaysia, it just baffles me how people can afford all this. Well rezeki orang.

Huurrmm what is another word for rezeki in English? Luck is it ? I don’t think so. Haha maybe its one of the few Malay words that you cant find in English. Ok whateva.

The art of eating buffet
Its easy its all about pace and control. This is of course near impossible when you have loads of food in front of you just begging to be gorged. Which is why its art. If its easy then I can be the Van Gogh of food. The trick is to never take more then one piece of food during your first rounds. Chances are some of the food is crap. So the first round you ll get to know which food is worthy for your soon to be bloated stomach. So always take small portions, its only then you ll get to experience all. The most difficult discipline of this art is water. Its true that you are sooo friggin thirsty after a day of fasting. But if you top up your tummy with fluid then rest assured you wont be able to sample all the food. If all this is too hard for you just follow what a mate of mine did. Eat a Salad huahuahuahua yeah rite…

Revenge of the Sith teaser trailer is out!
Peerrggh its out. Unfortunately only subscribing user will get to see it. Well I did manage to dl a clip of it. Looks cool though it better be after 2 very disappointing episodes. To me the whole trilogy when spiraling down when they killed Darth Maul. He would have been the saving grace of the series. If I was the writer I would have kept him alive and made him the Jedi Assassin. So Georgy boy please don’t disappoint.

Sweet Love of God ! Its here!

Check this out! My god its finally possible to link your Ipod to your car’s head unit. Alpine is among the first to do this. Alpine of alpine why are you doing this to me??? Before this I heard that only Beemers had the head units that can connect to an ipod. (connecting to the cassette player doesn’t count ok) Dang it used to be that disc changers are cool now forget about it. All you need is a your Ipod. No longer will you have to change your cd every time you get board with it. Regardless of the number of disc capacity in your changer, there comes a time where you will need to change them. With this you won’t need to. Plus it ll save your trunk space. Ok if you own a MPV, space may not be an issue. But if your ride is merely a hatchback like yours truly, you will obviously treasure you trunk space. Last but not least with this, you friggingly have got a cool set of entertainment unit for your car.

So I guess that’s Fridays posting …
Have a nice weekend …Cheers..

untitled (no idea maa ..)

Well I was gonna post about this earlier this morning but due to work and lack of inspiration the posting got delayed. The US Presidential election is nearing its end and guess what Dubya’s looking good for another term. Hahahah baffling ? Somehow my gut feeling was telling me he was going to get another term. And those close to me will know this as I have repeated it countless time. The reason I m saying this is simple really simple. The reason and logic behind this is no rocket science, Dubya has a good chance of winning the election because Americans are a bunch of Cowboys. So obviously they love it when a half baked g%$ totting Texan Cowboy leads them. Everything is resolved in a cowboy way. But guys don’t tell them I said this, cause Ill always be considered in the wrong. Hahah so nuff said….

Importantly is Peace ….For all …

By the way how did you guys like my last posting ? Hahaha got some response from you guys. Even though it’s a bit yucky but think about it. Next time when you rest your ugly crack on a posh toilet bowl (usually in hotels) take a peak after you flush. You would probably see The Beatles and a Brown Submarine floating around. Whatever ….

Got back late tonight. Just got back from a potential client which obviously I ll never reveal in this blog. The interesting part is that the client is quite cool. They have good exposure so I am hoping we ll get to ace this deal. So hopefully its Ramadhan’s blessing for us….

Cheers…

Man, evolution and toilets

Fuuuyoooo….

Check out my new layout. Am I cool or am I cool. Huahuahuah. Well I decided on a new layout cause I wanted a cleaner looking design. Ala Apple like that la. Looks ok to me as I think its easier to read in other words its easier on the eyes.

Don’t think I ll be making a long posting today as I am a bit busy. Got a project which seems to rely a lot on me. Comforting huh? Shheesshh it’s an interesting project where most of the workload depends on my part of the job. So hopefully I ll ace it. Ok nuff of that.

I got one provocative lucidity I d like to talk about….

Regarding toilets and us humans. Yup you heard me right toilets. Now lets look at the topic from a wider point of view first. Its common knowledge that as we progress and evolve things are to expected to be better. Improvements are what we ‘modern’ people are proud of. But are we really improving as we progress? Hence comes to my topic Toilets and Evolutions. You see we have toilets bowls right? Yeah and modern toilet bowls have the ability to save water. Which is great, furthermore it’s quieter when you flush it. All that is great but my main disdain is with how these modern toilet flush. Honestly I don’t care if my toilet bowls saves water or makes loads of noise. Most important, numero uno thing that my toilet bowl has to do is flush my crap. Yes flush my bloody crap. With today’s so called advance toilet you more then always have to flush twice. I bloody hate it when I have to flush more then once. Why? because usually after flushing you ll notice that your crap tends to conveniently flow back. Huurrrmm nice huh. After doing your deed and flushing the bowl you suddenly notice itsy bitsy parts of your crap still not being flushed. Now that’s crap. I don’t know about you but I never want to look at shit. Not even my own. What happen to the rugged noisy toilet bowls where you only need to flush once? With the old toilet bowls most of the time you ll never see your yellow or shall I say brown submarines. I can take noise but not wasted Picnic bars (reminds me of the story Cadyshack; the funny pool incident ). So please to all toilet bowl makers make them flush well!

Hopefully this posting will help you guys think of other things other then food.
