I am still a true blooded Arsenal fan although I decided to spend RM83 on a ticket to watch Chelsea Vs Malaysia ! hahaha
My futsal regulars and me suddenly decided " What the heck, lets go see John Terry and Frank Lampard slip on our field ! " I then took a drove down to Subang Parade, paid the $$$ and voila ! 8 tickets to Stadium Shah Alam.
Apparently i read online there was about 80,000 people there last night ! hahaha. Chelsea started with their normal 3 at the back with Wayne Bridge playing instead of Ashley Cole. In the midfield, Lampard, Deco, Joe Cole, Mikel and SWP. Up front was Anelka.
Malaysia started up and played well the entire 90 minutes. We nearly got an early goal in the 3rd minute but the shot went wide. We got a couple of nice runs but I guess we needed passes rather than fancy runs at the sidelines. 
I enjoyed myself and i would say this would be my few in the stadium moments watch a live football game.

FOUND HER !
|
|
I stumbled upon a pretty interesting article in the newspaper the other day ( to be exact, the 28th of July 2008 , pg 34 WORLD ). Apparently there was this guy who saw the girl of his dream in New York riding the train in the under ground subway with him. However he lost her in the crowd.
He went back and started this website ( http://nygirlofmydreams.com/ ) and in just 48 hours in a city of 8 million, people were flocking his website, sending him emails and also calling him. Like a witch hunt in the 1600, people were actually helping him find the love of his life ! Surprisingly, the found one another and ended up being together.
Never would i have imagined this kind of scenario were to happen in real life. Always thought it would only appear in the silver screen or even in some mushy mushy I-Love-You story book. Oh yes, remember that Hotlink advertisement a couple of years back with Nora Danish in it. Finally came true huh ?
Yea, its pretty cute too

Honestly, every year when the month of July approaches, I have this bitter sweet feeling rumbling in me. Bitter because another year has passed from the previous year and I ponder if I have done anything significant for myself and also those around me. Sweet because I appreciate those who actually remembers (even if its those notification on facebook and friendster) and wishes me on my birthday ! 
Guys and gals, I appreciate each and every SMS and calls I receive. Thank you, thank you and thank you again. It is because of people like you all that makes the world a bearable and better place to live in. 
Celebrated my 2008 birthday at a new found place called Palete Pallette. Do check it out http://www.palatepalette.com/ if you are ever in KL. Pretty decent place to have a cuppa drink with friend. Anyway, the night before, Alan, Dave, Gan and I went over to 1 u to catch TDK and also had a mini celebration in Italianese. Dave, Sorry if i blew your plans of suprising me ! hahahaha
Thanks again guys and gals. I really love you guys !
See i even tried kissing Kenny !
Hugs
See, I was really happy !

See what I am trying to say is...

MUSIC IS CONTAGIOUS !
It was like last week that the 3 of us ( Alan, Gan and me ) went and watch the movie " Run Fatboy Run". Halfway in the show, Alan and I caught this really nice song. It was the part where Libby was unwrapping the present from Dennis . And then there was this really cute song playing in the background. As the thought of " What song is this", Alan asked me " eh dude, what song is this "
Before i slept that night, i hunted down the song like an African tribes man hunting down a zebra ! After nearly an hour of looking around and downloading some wrong songs, i finally got it.
Man, the song is really contagious. I had it looping on my creative MP3 player itself that night ! the next day i found the youtube video and started passing it to everyone i know !
So for all ya all, here is the song...
Its by Tom Baxter - Better
*After listening to this song, it makes you feel like getting married and springing out some lil off springs of your own !  *

I know its been a while since i updated my blog. I think the last entry was in April. Darn. People has been asking why i locked my blog. Hahahaha. Ironic thing is, we often blog to share with others what we do in our lives and all, i am doing the opposite which is to hide my blog ( p/s : its only for these few months .. Why you might ask... will blog about it one of these days )
Anyway, Sim, Steph and Peter was down in KL last month. Its always good to see old and familiar faces eh ? I would say Steph and Peter do make a pretty cute couple together.
Will be heading off to Sarawak in less than 8 days. Really looking forward for it. Work has been really piling up and the pressure is getting to you. Don't get me wrong, i like the workload and the pressure but its the surrounding that gets to you. 
Not too sure if you guys heard, Avril Lavinge is heading over to Malaysia sometime soon. Why can't we get some better acts in like Sarah Mclachlan or something. Sheesh... Soilwork was here in KL last month but i missed out on their showcase 
Anyway, signing off for now ! ciaoz !

Quarter 2 !
|
|
People, buck up !
We are already entering quarter 2 of 2008 !
So, how many of you kept up to your new years resolution ?
I am pretty sure most single guys/girls would have this in their top 10 list...
GET A BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND !
And for those who are slightly "horizontally challenged" (like me ! )
It would be...
TO LOSE WEIGHT !
But anyway, we are passing through another year of our life. When i was in uni, i never realize how fast time flies. It never really mattered as everything was about going to class and back, going for mamak sessions, hang out at malls and just bumming around the whole day !
I am going to reach my 1 year anniversary of working next month ( officially 28th of May ) and i am already feeling the pressure of working. When Uncle Ben said it to Peter Parker , it sounded like a really cool phrase but when you are actually going through it, it sucks !  Now that i am having more to handle, the pressure mounts up like a pile of unwashed clothes. It just keeps coming. Although i like working under pressure and i like the challenge, I hope i will not be in this position for a long time. I want to do something different.
Most of us would work to pay the mortgages, just like how Katie Holmes would say it to Aaron Eckhart in the movie " Thank You for Smoking". Thats definitely the case for me and i guess for most people. There would be a bunch who would work because its their passion. But most just do it for the money.
I wouldn't say i dont enjoy my job. The environment is good, the people are fun and the road i take to work is not jam ! But there is something in me that says that there is something else i should be doing....

I shall believe
|
|
Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe
Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
Couples of months back i joined this competition and won a Sheryl Crow CD. It ended up collecting dust in my car. Then suddenly on Thursday, i just felt listening to her and i took the CD out and fitted it into the CD player. Viola, next thing you know, one of my old favorite song came back to me. . I guess this song is basically about clinging onto someone you love so much and hoping that the person don't give up on you. Aaahhhh, isn't love wonderful ! hahahaha

If you read back my back few post, I have been going through a pretty rough time. Thank you to all those people who did ask about my well being. I really appreciate your concern. Thank you for being such great friends.
1 of my colleague down at my work place, pulled me to the coffee corner and started chatting with me about relationship. She asked me " Duncan, hows your search going !"
I started to laugh and tell her about my condition. If you didn't know, i choose to diverge into a different road *P/S : MY DIFFERENT ROAD DOESN'T MEAN GOING DOWN THE QUEER MAN ROAD! "
I am currently enjoying being single. I would not have to worry about a person whinnying to you why you never spend time with her, your bank account would definitely be able to sustain and never reach the Rm10.00 minimum , you can enjoy endless outing with friends without feeling guilty and the list would go on !
However, i do agree that at certain point of your life when your friends are all busy or you have nothing on, the feeling of loneliness do come creeping in. I do go through that too once in a while. Hahaha !
I also realize that if you have been single/alone for quite sometime, you can be quite selfish and self centered where you would put yourself at a higher priority than others. Why can't some people be more caring about those who are around them and especially those who means something to you. I hope i don't turn out to be like that.
Back to the story , then my colleague asked " You want to stay single now eh, but then what if you suddenly fall for someone ? "
When she asked me that question, I was stunned for a minute. I never really thought about that before. What if i did ?

If i could choose...
|

I would date Ellen Page
This 21 year old actress has produced one of the most brilliant acting i have ever seen in a long time. Her performance in "Hard Candy" and "Juno" was awesome ! If you haven't watch it yet, you are definitely missing hell of a good movie !

This is definately 1 of the few best movies i have seen in a while. Directed by Ben Affleck and starring his brother Casey Affleck, it was done pretty well for a first time director.
My fav part from the movie :
Patrick Kenzie: Cheese, if you ever disrespect her again like that, I'm gonna pull your fuckin' card, okay? So you're saying you didn't do it, fine. We'll take your money, and we'll be on our way. When it turns out you're lying, I'm gonna spend every nickel of that money to fuck you up. I'm gonna bribe cops to go after you, I'm gonna pay guys to go after your weak fuckin' crew, and I'm gonna tell all the guys I know that you're a C.I. and a rat, and I know a lot of people. And after that, you're gonna wish you listened to me, 'cause your shitty pool hall crime syndicate headquarters is gonna get raided, and your doped-up bitches are gonna get sent back to Laos, and this fuckin' retard right here is gonna be testifying against you for a reduced sentence, while you're gettin' cornholed in your cell by a gang of crackers. 'Cause from what I've heard, the guys that get sent up Concord for killing kids, life's a motherfucker.
And if you are planning to catch a more light hearted movie, you might wanna consider watching "Be Kind Rewind"
Jerry is a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant he suspects of causing his headaches. But he inadvertently causes his brain to become magnetized, leading to the unintentional destruction of all the movies in his friend's store. In order to keep the store's one loyal customer, an elderly lady with a tenuous grasp on reality, the pair re-create a long line of films including The Lion King, Rush Hour, Ghostbusters, When We Were Kings, Driving Miss Daisy, and Robocop, putting themselves and their townspeople into it. They become the biggest stars in their neighborhood. - source imdb.com
Work week 14 and work week 15 has so far been the worst for 2008. I have been thrown crap at the whole week. Some comes in the form of work, which i don't mind but the worst are the craps that are thrown to you that is meant to break you emotionally. I can handle if i have to work for long hours or even work stress. What could really break me is those emotional news and the feeling uncertainty of so many things in life. This kind of news or events are things you can never solve or know what to do next. Its like waking up one day and your dad says " Your cat is dying ". The feeling of helpless-ness creeps inside your body and tends to take over you, physically and mentally. You will start feeling fatigued and the loss of mood to work the rest of the day.
Although i don't really know what my purpose in life is yet, but the big Guy above likes challenging me not physically, but mentally and emotionally. I won't back down. That i can assure you !
I guess right now i have to dust myself up and continue pushing on. Thats the only thing rational enough to be done now. . . . .
