Calming Down,Crap Service and England Losing ...

Calm Down

Have you ever been told by your boss to calm down???

Well I know how. Holly crap, imagine how I felt when my boss had to tell me that. Well it’s like this; we have an office where the whole team is sitting together, so we share our phone lines, so when you are talking to someone on the phone others would notice. So when I was talking to the client and for some reason I just lost my cool. I just did not realize how ballistic I was at that time, so my boss had to tell me to calm down. I was like OMG what happened to me? My boss had to tell me to calm down aisey…I was so embarrassed and ashamed about it…Wait Im actually quite scared when he said that… I was telling myself …OMG! I m going to get tapaued by my boss after this…So far he has said nothing…But if he does say anything its fully understandable and totally right… I should not have done that …No question about it…

I just hoped I do not do it again….

Damn it, the thing really had an affect on me, which is why I blogged it straight away…Just needed to let it out… I got to get pass this so that I can focus back on my work. Focus, focus and focus …

By the way I have been shit busy lately so blogging is taking a back seat at the moment…

Still I need to get away from some of the stuff before it really gets to me. Today I learned a really valuable lesson. Never lose your cool and try to net let your passion screw up your actions.

K nuff of that ….

There is a lot of stuff that I wanted to post about but since you guys are aware, I cant seem to find the time at the moment. Well here some stuff that’s happened since

Restaurant De Cheingmai (2 out 5)

It was my mums birthday so we all thought of going somewhere to celebrate it. Our home is not far from the Sungai Buluh area and we heard of this neat Thai restaurant there. There seem to be a lot of huuu aahhh about it. Since there was a lot of us the logical food to have that day was of course rice therefore Thai fits nicely to our plan. There is a malay word for it…Muai …Eating rice is muai, meaning the eerrrr …. The food satisfies peoples hunger easier, then say other types of food such as sushi or dim sum where you have to eat a lot if not youre gonna still be hungry. Anyway. This place is quite secluded so getting there requires you to do a bit of exploration and if you are unlucky you ll probably get lost. When you get there you will be quite surprised of the whole place. Its big and to a certain extent looks like a Siam palace. So when we went there we ordered food and at this point we noticed that the guy who took our order (seem like the owner) was a bit snobbish. Well typical melayu I guess, when your place is well known you treat your customer like dirt. We wanted the Tom Yum to not be spicy he didn’t want to entertain, my grand parents wanted to order noodles he said the kitchen is busy and it ll be difficult to entertain the order. WTF ??!! If you can’t why the fork did you put it in the menu in the first place. Heck put a bloody disclaimer on the menu to let us know that these food are not served during peak hours. Fork you k. The arsehole even gave us a look which luckily I didn’t realize. You see we were there to not only eat but we wanted to have fun and have a good experience. The people there are not too accommodating; I doubt we were that particular. Well for the money we paid they could have at least provided a decent service. I do agree that the food is quite nice but due to the bad service I would not recommend people to go there. Plus its frigging expansive. The whole dinner cost us rm390. For that amount we could have gone to Tamarind where the place is wicked and the service is good. Heck if we went to Vichuda we would probably have twice the amount of food we ordered and the service there is waaaay better. True we ordered quite a number of food but anyone who has been there would agree that its expansive and a bit over rated. My fiancée and me manage to chip in a bit, yeah my dad’s retired so a bit unfair if I let him pay for everything. To me good service plays a big part and this place does not have one. So a measly 2 is all Im gonna give you.

England Losing to France

Hahahahah ….

Seems like the silver lining for me last weekend. They really got what they deserved. See I ve said it all along England are a 2 man team and that is Johnny Wilkinson and Martin Johnson. Both are top notch but the England team deserved it for being one dimensional. You should have heard one of the commentator’s comments. One of them, was quite certain that they were winning the game. Praising the team, the no8 on a much improved performance. When the French team clawed their way back he went as far as to say the French didn’t deserved it. Hah…Is that so? Then how the hell did they won the world cup? What the French did to them was exactly what they have been doing all the time even when they won the world cup. So Mr Commentator does this mean the England team did not deserve the World Cup? As painful for me to admit that they deserved it I believe credit should be given to them. So I guess England fans have to swallow the ironic situation they are facing at the moment. But didn’t anyone realize this? During the second half the game was stopped for quite sometime due to substitutions made by the French. I think it was done on purpose to break England rhythm and momentum. If you are aware, after that substitution France took control of the game and never looked back. It ll be interesting to see how Sir Clive Arrogant shapes up his Lions team with England not being able to perform up to his required standard.

Marriage Course

Lastly …I ll be going to the wedding course this weekend. Ekekekekek…I ll blog about it next week. Have a nice weekend.

Cheers….

4-2? Whats up Arseanal? Ekekeke ….

Wow, my last posting was quite a hit. Well based on my counter readings that is. Well I guess when it’s about complaining on Astro everyone would want to read about it.

4-2, Sweet…

What can I say …. Well Wenger you have to admit you were again outfox by the old master once again. Ok first of all I ll have to admit this, I am a Man U fan …. But let me add this, I am not as Hardcore as other Red Devils supporters. I don’t take things way too seriously like some other fans, be it Man U, Chelsea or Aseanal. After all I was born in JB not Manchester.Then again this morning’s victory was sweet. Even sweeter was the fact that it didn’t waste my precious sleep time on a working day like today. Hahahah ….

Ok here are some points why the victory was sweet.

The brickbats …

Yeah the brickbats that was dragging on and on during the season certainly spiced up the game. Imagine, they have not even been on the pitch and yet there was a scuffle. It just shows you the kind of hostility these guys have towards each other. Being a Man U fan obviously I think Arseanal were bad losers during the game at Old Trafford. Plus I think some of the stuff being said about the Red Devils were a bit unfair. Its football and business, so you do what you had to do to win. At the end of the day that’s all that matters. Then again Man U was really physical and rough that day. So today’s game was really the time where all the yapping stops and the action speaks. And guess what for all the talk Arseanal, this morning you were shite.

Outfox

Arseanal biggest mistake during the game didn’t happen on the pitch and didn’t happen this morning. It started waaaayyy back when they lost the game at Old Trafford. In fact it probably started when the entire team had a go at Van Nistelroy a few seasons back. Anyway, since that lost the master psychologist; Sir Alex went on the offensive to further attack Arseanal. Arseanal’s reaction and action (buffet throwing and stupid public remarks) after that further compounded them. The fact that they reacted to Sir Alex’s comment clearly was a bad move. It clearly affected them more and it showed in this morning’s game. You can see Arseanal players were really tense and really wanted revenge thus causing them to lose focus. Man Utd players on the other hand were more relaxed and more focus on the task at hand. They new they had a job to do and a football game to win. So they won the game through better mental conditioning and concentration. Which evidently, was the deciding factor.

Outplayed

As mentioned, because of their mental state key Arseanal players did nt perform up to expectations. Sol Campbell and Pires to me being the main culprit. Only Henry was as usual, the best of the lot. His overhead kick was short of being a goal. Had it gone in it would have been the goal of the season. Wenger should have played differently and could have sprung a surprise. Instead he went to his usual formation. It was predictable that United would try to outman Viera in midfield as the saying goes, control the middle of the pitch then you control the game. Viera was not as effected as he could be because ManUs midfield closed him down and didn’t give him the space he needed. When he is not enterprising then Arseanal’s attack would be blunted. Only once did he had space and look at the ball he fed to Henry. It was a gem. Then again it was not enough. Another smart move by Man Utd was to play Ronaldo on the left. Man U knew that Cole is tougher to beat so they moved him to Laurens position. Clearly it had the desired impact.Wenger did throw his last card by taking off Lauren but as the results has shown it was a bad move. The whole game that area of the pitch was where United’s goal came from. So when he was substituted, there was no surprise when Heinze broke on the left and set up Osheas goal. Which by the way was exceptional.

Overall

Like the entire EPL headlines you read “It was SWEET” The fact that they came back twice and played with ten man for about 20 minutes and yet came out winners surely was sweet. Still you don’t see any Man U players jumping over another ManU player in celebration right? (Remember Wiltord at Old Trafford?)

Then again its just football guys…
So don’t take it seriously….

Now let’s get back to reality and get cracking on the work you are supposed to be doing

Cheers..
