A Bridge to Far?

If you were mentioning about Tiger Wood's womanizing the women story kind of well expected (Thank you George Carlin) you would've never guessed the rift between the now and the former Chelsea players were due to a scandal.

The catch phrase would be; "I slept with your ex".

Some of us may not care anymore what are they (our ex) might do, but not Wayne Bridge. The Manchester City's fullback who is now living with the ex's children, and he loves them so much.

However, what did John Terry (his "best friend", his former "team mates", his "family", his "colleague", his "international teammate", his "to name but a few…") did? He slept with Wayne's ex.

To be honest, it sucks when you have this affair, especially when you are an established sportsman and a (not England) courageous leader (cough).

He has been the England and Chelsea heat ever since he first kicked the ball under the Blue's shirt. He won numerous of applaud and tons of appreciation through the years, but when this happened, it is like the end for John Terry and his lustrous career (his penalty missed during the Champion's League final against Man Utd will always be remembered).

First, his dad accused of dealing drugs. Then it is his mother, stealing in a supermarket. Today, the parents' beloved son went sleeping with someone's (ex) girlfriend. What's next in store for the Terry's? Paul sent to jail for swearing?

Alright. That's just the interface. Maybe too much detail would make John Terry turned from 'British Best Daddy' to 'Manchester Hated Scumbag'.

I watched the match, and yes my attention was on Wayne and the Chelsea captain, especially when it's a set piece or anything that would made them came into a contact.

Speaking of contact, if I'm not mistaken Mr. Bridge didn't made any eye contact to his "friend" thorough the match. Surprise? I don't think so.

Since the start of the match, I've noticed something sparking. The Captains of both teams had to lead their team to the field and then they shake hands. Since John Terry's the first man who the Man City's players would shook hands, guess where did Wayne Bridge was in the line?

He's the last person (if it's not for Carlos Tevez).

So the players shake hands, and all were pumped up for the match.

Oh, do you remember Patrick Vieira vs Roy Keane dated back in 2005? When Vieira was shaking hands with the Man utd players, the early victim that caused the bust up, Gary Neville did this "glare" and shook his hand hard, which really pumped the emotions up. Here's the vid. Click here.

However, what did Wayne Bridge does?

Yeah. He's either; "Oh? I don't know John was there..." or "..." over JT. As far as you would concern, snubbing a handshake is very rude. However, in this case, would this be justice for Bridge?

Who knows, but a drubbing defeat of Chelsea says it all.

What kind of dramas will be unfolded upon this very exciting season of the Premier League...?

No one knows.

p/s: The whole scandal truly disturb the image of John Terry. I really like to see Chelsea go down, but not like this.

Sleeping...

Sleeping.

I know it's essential, but sometimes, people like me tend to do something else than sleep.

My excuse was; "Sleeping are for wimps." That is what I said, and what I've been listening to from people around me (colleagues).

But, as I do such, I lose the excitement of sleeping.

So I asked myself, when was the last time I had a very good sleep?

None thorough the month, but there's one, in January. It was a 6 hours (or more) sleep, and when I woke up, I felt pretty fresh and raring to go for the day.

Since then, all of my sleep was less than 2 hours.

From lack of sleep I started to have this kind of fatigue and a terribly sense of rational. It once occurred to me during this month where I almost pay the penalty for lack in sleep.

I end up sleeping during a lecture and I was in the front row.

I never thought about going to sleep during the course. Honestly. I was reading the module of my subject and I started to slouching and rested my head on the module. My eyes kept on moving and my hands also were still moving and took down the notes told by the lecture in front of me.

However, after a while, the words I see began to blur and when I opened my eyes later, the class was over.

My lecture was the first to point out that I was sleeping during the last 30 minutes of the class. Gladly I didn't got scolded by it but to be honest, I kind off upset my lecturer.

He also noticed how tired I was since I entered the class, therefor he may anticipated of my intention of going to sleep. I really didn't meant to sleep, but I guess the fatigue was way off me and my whole body responded. It shuts down by itself.

So, from that moment, I tried to get more sleeping hours than usual. 4 hours are the minimum I could reach for the past few weeks and I began to get some freshness every morning I woke up from the sleep.

Yeah. Sleep is important. It's not only relax your body but also conserve your mind. Like a 'sleep mode' of a personal computer, the whole mind still revolving around and if lucky, created a nice dream for you, based on your imagination and experiences you faced the whole day.

The mind was resting yet continuing it's task as well as our whole system in the body. Blood flows accordingly to the mood and the nerves, muscles, aches will be put into rest while we are sleeping.

Well, I wish that all of you my friends, won't repeat the same mistake as I am. I know the night life is nice and fun, but sometimes we have to pass the fun for our self's benefit. Try be considerable and honest to yourself first than others. Maybe I'd still stay awake for a whole night someday but I'd love to have some extra hours of sleep due to it. So it's like making a deal of your own self (which I found it kind off fun).

I guess that's all I have to say. Pretty sure I'd try to sleep early tonight, and trying to wake up fresh as well. I hope my friends here will enjoy their sleep too tonight. Until then.

Assalamualaikum and have a nice day.

Love,
Khal

Cheer Up :)

Assalamualaikum, and good day people.

Cheer up Man Utd fans, it's not like the whole world crumble yet.

Last night's match against Everton predicted to be a competition. David Moyes' side are in good form and I'm not surprised to see Man Utd been defeated like such. (Well... The score line did surprised me!!!)

Let's recap the whole.

Everton who lost both of their influential players, Tim Cahill (Injury) and Marouine Fellaini (Out for the whole season) starts the high-profile match in a 4-5-1 formation, and let alone the French striker Louis Saha in front (LOVE YOU SAHA!!! REDS FOREVER!). Leon Osman, Stephen Piennar and Mikel Arteta was put in the midfield while the Russian hit man Bilyaletdinov and American Landon Donovan operates the flanks. Ex-Reds, Phil Neville captained the side and operates along with Johnny Heitinga, Sylvian Distin and Leighton Baines at the back. Another former Reds Tim Howard is in between the sticks.

Man Utd who just won a great match in San Siro on Tuesday, had Nemanja Vidic in the squad, but only put in the bench. They started with a 4-4-2 formation. Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov collaborated up while Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher are in the midfield. Since Nani was suspended for a three match ban (Serving his first match ban) Ecuadorian Antonio Valencia deputized the right flank while ever-loving Korean player Ji-Sung Park in the left. Captain Gary Neville again called up along with Johnny Evans, Wes Brown and Patrice Evra. Edwin Van Der Sar is in goal.

Heading to the match, Man Utd had never lost in Goodison since 2005, and for the record, the Merseyside Blue has only beaten Man Utd two times. So the prospect of winning here is predictable. However, after Everton pulling the strings of fine performance and even Man City and Chelsea were defeated here, the Blues would likely to make a great victory against Man Utd.

Refereeing for the match is the 2010 World Cup official, Mr. Howard Webb.

The match started brightly for Man Utd who scored for the Reds within 16 minutes of play. Rooney picked up Antonio Valencia at right and he crossed a low pass into the box. The ball was ricochet against a defender, and the ball end up at Berbatov's fright foot. The Bulgarian hit man quickly balanced himself to hit the ball instantly for the opener.

However, 3 minutes later, A mistake by United's defense lead up an equalizer for Everton. A long ball from the back was for Louis Saha. Young Johnny Evans anticipated the ball but the challenge by the French striker was fair. Bilyaletdinov picked up the ball from his side and ran into the box before shoots a screamer, which Edwin Van Der Sar had not budged. Replays show how the challenge on Johnny Evans was fair and Bilyaletdinov used Brown's body as a shield from Edwin's view.

The half time ended too soon. The pundits began to put their money in for the Blues, which shows their true nature. They are the team who beats Manchester City and Chelsea in this very turf and they are will likely to repeat the achievement against Manchester United.

As the second half on the way and sadly it turned up to be a goalless as the clock reached an hour.

However, substitute Dan Gosling finally put his team ahead after a fine work from the Everton's African player Stephen Piennar. Gary Neville left out by the African's pace and he immediately centred the ball for his teammates to scrap the pieces. Louis Saha missed the chance to hit it but luckily Gosling's there.

The Blues were not finished there yet! They then introduced Jack Rodwell. Ok, here's the stuff.

Jack Rodwell has been in the eyes of Man Utd which is to be, their next signing. The young Blues player puts an exclamation point for Everton's third goal during the dying time of the match.

Picking up the pieces, Jack rain through the defense and even Evans (He terribly poor for the whole game) looked like a dunce back there. Fast and Furious, Jack hits with his right and the ball slides through Edwin and thus the celebration explodes the whole Goodison Park. Of course, he got booked for taking of his shirt....

Alright, so in conclusion, Everton won by three goals to one, and another great win for Everton; and also, another high-profile lose for Man Utd.

Both managers' shakes hand and Sir Alex Ferguson congratulated his S

cottish counterpart, and truly adimits the match was for Everton, since they hit the equaliser.

Here's some from SAF (Taken from manutd.com.)

"We were well beaten; it's as simple as that. Maybe we left something in Milan, there certainly looked to be a lot of tiredness in the team. But we're going for a championship and we expect Manchester United to respond to the importance of the game. The players had all been bouncing in the week, but there's a small possibility that we left something in Milan. Certainly, we looked really tired. The real effect came in the second half, we were second best to everything. We started the game well enough, but you don't want to lose a goal so quickly after taking the lead, and Everton's goal galvanised them and gave them som

e incentive. In the second half they were the better team, it's as simple as that".

However, a positive comments about the prospect of Man Utd retain the title was again been said by the manager.

"I'm disappointed, and of course the players are disappointed. They play for Manchester United and don't like losing. We've been doing that [responding] for a long time, so I don't expect a problem that way. It's a bad result for us at this time of the year. You can't afford results like that. We hope others drop points, and that's the way the league has been this season. Hopefully it turns out right again, but I don't think we'll panic."

As for Everton's Manager, his interview was a mix of fun yet positiv

e or positive yet fun, or... Whatever... (LOL and quotes taken from eurosports.yahoo.com)

"We can start looking upwards a bit more than downwards. This was always going to be a tricky month and we have started it pretty well. It was a great result and you don't beat the big teams that often so we are delighted. I have said for a while on our day we can be a match for the teams above.

"I told (Landon Donovan) most of the players in England play with flu four or five times a year. If you are from Los Angeles you probably don't know what flu is! I think Landon would like to stay but at the moment it probably looks as if not. I wouldn't want to have any disrespect to his club or the contract he has over there."

So that's it.

Next match for Man Utd is West ham, fresh from their win against Hull (3-0), home. The match is telecasted and it's on Wednesday 4 am (Local time). SO bets of luck there Reds!

Any feedbacks are welcome. So have a nice day and Assalamualaikum.

Busy-ness March!

Assalamualaikum and good day people.

Oh man.. My schedule's totally crammed up. I'd have a full day classes for 3 weeks max (dunno if it's a straight one) starting March.

Talking about March, I'll have to seat for tons of exams there. The Mid-Terms, which have all four of my subjects, all in mutliple choice.

Sucks...

Prior to that, I'd have my motorbike driving test on 4th of March and car driving test on 12 March, unconfirmed. Talk about busy-ness, the test were dated on weekdays if I'm not mistaken.

So my only rest period would be the weekends, but there's a catch, not ALL of weekends in March. I repeat, I have LESS weekends in MARCH!!!

So yeah.... But, I hope I can see it through and performed. I'm not that kind of guy who lie down and die no...

Anxiety began to filling me and staying in positive, I can't wait to taste them.

Bring it on!!!

Countdown to 14 Feb

February to do list...

Assalamualaikum and good day guys.

It's already the end of 2nd week of February and tomorrow will be the day of... Chinese New Year and V'day! Weeee~~~!

Ok ok. Sadly I don't and won't celebrate V'day like "you" but I have more important agenda on that day. That is, a friend's birthday.

Yeah. Well, I'd let you know some about her. Some.. Yeah. Some. =P

I met her for the first time waaaaaaay back in the kinder garden years so I was like 4 years old then. Since then, we became friend.

I then realised she lived in the apartment next to mine, and I may not often went to her house, nor she went to mine but we used to meet or bumped each other nearby the shop-houses which separate our apartments.

After kinder garden, we both went to the same primary school and spent a good time there for 6 years. However, I started in different class from her, but we used to walk back home together. Even so, I seldom had lunch with her, since I was with my boys. Well, boys always be boys before then. xP

Speaking of together... I used to walk back home with her. My mother would accompany us, and she's happy with her presence. Thus the bonding starts there.

Thorough the six years, I started to have some 'gushy2' feeling towards her. Day by day she became more beautiful and yes, puppy love struck.

But, it's more to one sided since she haven't got a clue of what's happening. I won't say she ignored me, but we both had some spell of time of togetherness.

It's a fact that she's smarter than me, and she excelled thorough the course and scored every finals with flying color. Even the teacher listed her as an 'A' grade student. Well, I'm not that far from her though. (Don't count me out!)

After the primary school, I went to Victoria Institution (V.I) and I have no whereabouts of her going to what school then until I met her wearing Convent Bukit Nenas emblem. So I was like "CBN? Wowzers..." since CBN could consider as 'hotness / fancy / girlish school evah'. Yeah.. Most of my seniors could went gaga over the girls there, and even students from our rival school, the St. John.

Okay. back tot he topic.

Though we went separated but we still keep in touch. After the long 5 years of spell in V.I, it's college time. Again, I don't know here whereabouts.... Until I called her upon her... 18th birthday? I think it was in text, but meh, never mind...

Things went okay. She's doing fine with her course and same goes to me.

Time moving on so fast and it's her 19th birthday yet again and like always, I text-ed her, getting to know what both of us were up to. Of course I've finished my diploma then and she's finished with her matrix, and going for degree, I think? She'd began her degree by now...

Oh well. We meet each other in one occasion, that is my primary school reunion (So much for a reunion... End up only 4 of us attend... XP) and it's o Christmas. Yeah. I got photos of her and the guys in my Facebook. Log in!

And until now, we're much keep in touch with each other via Facebook. Yeah, I guess that's all...?

I know what you might thinking and sadly no. She's not my girlfriend. I can only describe her, as my friend. That's all. (Crush! Crush! Crush!)

That's 14th of February for me, and to all my Chinese friends, I wishing you all Happy Chinese New Year. May the year of the Tiger bring blessing to all of you and may God bless all of you as well. Live long in prosper. :)

Thanks for the time and I hope you guys will enjoy the holiday.

Assalamualaikum and may God be with you. :)
