Well, currently it's my school's Hari Raya break, so it's cool. Just got this long newspaper article English homework and that probably takes care of my most important homework of the holidays. So, it was international friendlies this week and I was absolutely surprised when I saw the Argentina vs Spain final result, I mean Argentina winning 4-1 was out of the blue. Well, maybe it can be said it wasn't Spain's strongest XI, pointing directly at Pepe Reina in particular, with his calamity causing Spain to concede the third and fourth goal. England seem exactly like how they were befor the World Cup, winning by rather big margins again. And it can also be said that France are doing better under Laurent Blanc now, as they finally win a game after their disastrous World Cup, and without a few suspended key players!
Life's good

Manchester City vs Liverpool, HUGE!

2010-08-22T07:43:00.000-07:00

Well, a few might notice that I have finally set up my blog's playlist, which was pretty slow in getting on board, although the fact that I was supposed to put it up on 20th September. Well, a few late entries, with 'Diary' managing to squeeze into my playlist last minute, next up is the chat box, which I hope to actually finish before around the 10th of September, so expect a few bits of maintainance work as this blog is sorta going beta.

So it's back to school in three days, and it's probably a stressful year ahead, after all, my grades for last year was absolutely dissapointing for me, I mean 31/50 for my horrible history test gave me a 62%, which really demorralized me, although my Geography did get my hopes up, with a 87% total. I mean I personally expected a lower score for Geography. My maths was lower than expected, especially for my Paper 2, same goes to my English, which was dissapointing because of my second part to the test also brought my average down. My Malay was brought down because of essay, my Spanish was relatively high, all round, so that kept me happy. Along with that, my Science was quite low, although I already forgot my score. XD

So it's Manchester City versus Liverpool in a huge clash to show their title and Champions League credentials. Aquilani has joined Juventus in a one year deal which sees Juventus pay his full wages, whilst there is uncertainity about Dirk Kuyt's future in Liverpool. James Milner has joined Manchester City from Aston Villa in what I believe was a huge gain for Aston Villa in the deal. Not only did they receive 16 million pounds in cash, but they also have a valuable asset in Stephen Ireland, whom I believe has unbelievable consistency. Manchester City's first game also left Shay Given wondering if he was going to play for City again as Joe Hart made a string of unbelievable saves.
Probable Lineups
Manchester City: (4-3-3) Hart, Lescott, Kolo Toure, Kompany, Zabaleta, Milner, De Jong, Yaya Toure, Johnson, Tevez, Adebayor
Liverpool FC : (4-2-3-1) Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aureilio, Lucas, Mascherano, Kuyt, Gerrard, Jovanovic, N'gog

Just Another Blog Post

2010-08-19T11:10:00.001-07:00

Well it's Thursday down here in Malaysia, I guess nothing much has changed, I have my usual drums and guitar later on today, and my most annoying lesson of the week, art lessons, I guess it's to my benefit because my art absolutely stinks but it's still annoying. FIFA 11 looks to be as awesome as ever, with the exciting new true 11 v 11 online football matches because of the new ability to play as goalkeeper, as well as in career mode, FIFA can only improve!!!

Liverpool feel completely different this season, I mean the vibe is really good and Roy Hodgson looks to have made a feel-good factor around Anfield. Along with that, I think Manchester City's trqnsfer spending is pretty crazy, I mean 26 mil plus Stephen Ireland is absolutely a ridiculous deal. Ireland is worth at least 12 mil. Money does not bring success. All it does is bring hopes up and gets players out and managers fired.

Wow It's Been Long

2010-08-17T10:39:00.001-07:00

It's been a long time since I last posted a blog post, okay, maybe not that long but I like to continue with the swing of things. My computer is still sadly failing very miserably, so I only got my iPod Touch to work with. Well firstly I need to say, Premeir League fever has restarted!!! It's been quite a while, teams have changed, managers have changed, so it looks like an amazing season ahead. I also have to say that I feel massive sorrow to our new star Joe Cole, who got sent off on his Premier League debut against Arsenal. I mean his legs did look to accidentally collide Koscielys leg, along with that Kosciely came back on after half time. But Joe Cole's still gonna be a legend! YNWA

Well that was the plus side of the summer ending, now to the negative side. Two Words: School's back. Back to hitting the books rather than hitting scorchers on FIFA 10. Although I guess my life pretty much has no meaning if I laze around all day. I've also seen Malaysian badminton star Lee Chong Wei in Mount Kiara recently, I guess it really feels amazing to be near the legend, if badminton is one of your fortes.

One final thing, I did mention the jukebox and possibly chat box extentions recently and didn't set the release date. Due to a few technical difficulties(by that I mean my slow computer), it is set to be released a bit later than thought, with 20th September my completion dateline. My fave songs will be played on a blog MP4, which features Taio Cruz's 'Dynamite' and OneRepublic's 'Secrets'.

On the Move

2010-08-10T09:42:00.001-07:00

Well, I have only just recently returned from Singapore and it's sorta same old same old. Had my usual drums and guitar on Monday, along with a badminton session which resulted in what I think is a sprain, but it's all right now. I'm going to some national badminton training court to watch the national players train tomorrow! I'm pretty psyched up about it, not everyday when you see Malaysian heroes.

I just came back from Singapore a few days back and i'm so happy because my XBOX is fixed! It had some problem dating back all the way to around February, so I'm really happy!! FIFA 10 is still as awesome as ever. I'm also picking up MLB and Madden NFL demos to try and learn from the game, they're pretty good!

The FIFA Post

2010-08-03T06:13:00.000-07:00

FIFA sells, it is able to sell nearly anything. Look at the FIFA World Cup, how many viewers did it get? I don't know, about the quarter of the planet were watching, and that might not be me exaggerating. Although I also wonder, did more tune in to the First Match of South Africa vs Mexico (which included the opening ceremony) or the final, which basically involved the two best performing teams of the World Cup.

That's not all, the Jabulani got a ridiculous amount of buyers for a apparently 'bad' ball. You can click here to get it, it's valued reasonably on Amazon. Not only that, they have a successful video game franchise, from the FIFA 10, 09, etc. to the FIFA World Cup games themselves, they are a big hit!

OK, to me now, I'm off to Singapore for 3, 4 days starting tomorrow and I'm super excited, I'm gonna try and get my XBOX 360 fixed in Singapore so I'm really looking forward to that. Other than that, my family are probably going to the much-hyped Universal Studios Singapore. Hitting Singapore! Mabuhay!

Penalty Kicks: The Way They Should Be Taken

2010-08-02T08:42:00.000-07:00

Well today and basically this whole week has been absolutely long and tiring, I mean today was 5 hours of badminton, 1 hour of guitar and another half an hour of drumming, but it was pretty funny for me during drumming because of the confusion that was made during the beginnung of the lesson. It seems that I paid on Thursday last week and that the person in charge didn't exactly record it on the timetable on the computer, therefore creating problems, my drum teacher was supposed to only be there at aroung 6:30 or something, and it was 1:30, so I just went with some other teacher. The badminton was absolutely long, first came a gruelling 3 hours back at my condo, with some training and some doubles games along with my sister and parents, after that, me and my sister shifted over to another condo, where we were invited me over to play. That was 2 hours and well, I wa absolutely wasted after that. Apart from that game, the last week has involved absolutely long games of badminton and training, I am gonna break my leg if I'm playing badminton tomorrow.

Liverpool FC have won their first Europa League match by 2-0 thanks to goals both from our very own David N'gog, hopefully he can deliver all season long along side our new signing Milan Jovanovic and Fernando Torres. Alongside that news, Fabio Aureilio, has been re-signed by Liverpool FC, finally they have a recognised left-back playing next season, so it's pretty good news for the rest of the season.

Javier Hernandez, otherwise known as the 'Chicharato' or 'The Pea', looks like an excellent player, and that's a Liverpool FC fan talking, I mean from speed to finishing, he seems to have the makings of being an absolute star at Manchester United.

Ok, to finish off this post, I wanna post on an excellent penalty kick that I have seen recently. Look at it closely, ok, because personally I didn't see how he actually took the penalty in the first place, he takes a right foot run-up and then takes the penalty with a well placed left foot shot.

A joke and a birthday post:)

2010-08-01T04:46:00.000-07:00

Today, I heard a pretty hilarious joke, it went like this, it was a boarding school and students stayed in dorms, there was one boy dorm and one girl dorm. A teacher said boys are banned from going to the girl dorm and boys were banned from the girl dorm and the girls were banned from the boys. A teacher said you would be charged $20 for first offence, $40 for the second and $80 for the third. A boy then said 'how much for a season pass?' it was THE best joke I heard for a while.
Today my baby sister turned 5! She got a Baskin Robins ice cream cake and all. It was a great day for her! We're also checking out old videos today, a small blast from the past, well, I'll be the first to admit that my voice sounded strange and that my teeth absolutely stood out. BFTP!

Henry's Inception Is A Slow Computer

2010-07-29T09:33:00.001-07:00

Forgive me for the poor title, just wanted to squash what this post was about in the title, the first thing that I am blogging on is Thierry Henry, that man can never cease to amaze me, from that small flick he did followed by that amazing volley against the Red Devils to that absolute curler he produced for Barcelona in the champions league a few years back, then he helped France get into the World Cup with his controversial hand ball, and now, his first goal for the NY Red Bulls. I mean the cross was good, yes, but how did he get the speed to outrun his marker, how did he guess where he needed to be so accurately, I mean grabbing a goal like that on your debut, against SPURS! A team which qualified for the CL next yearis simply amazing to me.

I really wanna catch the Leanardo Di Caprio film Inception sometime soon, the trailer looks good, the story sounds good and the ratings ARE good, so it seems like a must-watch to me.

My computer is reacting slower than a snail's pace, when it's asleep, that's pretty much how slow it is, I mean for the first few minutes, it's absolutely fine, but then the processes kick in and then it runs at a ridiculously slow pace, I even think my familys former Windows 98 is faster than our new Windows XP 'Media Center', it's so slow! *note the jukebox debut has been pushed back, the official release date will be confirmed soon(I always wanted to say that:))

Always A Pocketful Of Goals

2010-07-29T09:16:00.001-07:00

Hey guys! Well I have been just watching a number of Take 180 videos on YouTube and I was laughing my way through all of them, they were all just absolutely ridiculously funny, from the Shane Dawson Glee spoof to the different Tom Cruise(not Tom Cruise) videos and then how amazingly they recreated Ke$ha in a made up Glee audition video, they were all soo funny.

Today was pretty straightforward for me, the usuals, got my Guitar lesson today, learned some song my teacher wanted me to learn, not sure but I think it's by Tokio Hotel, got awesome drumming classes today as well, so I'm well happy about that, and I also had Art, it's probably the lessons which is probably my least fave of my holiday classes.

Tomorrow is some sorta badminton meet up, with a few from mycondo and one more nearby, at least I find that better than art, so I'm happy:). My jukebox/MP4 player will be up and running within the next to days, so I'm pretty excited for that to happen

My baby sister is turning 5 in a few days time and she never spends it at 'home' we always seem to be travelling on her birthday, just small coincidences that always occur, my family is travelling to Awana Kijal this Sunday and then off to Singapore on the Wednesday next week so it's gonna be a bit of a marathon!

The last thing I would like to write about is Liverpool, I mean I didn't call this blog The Angry Scouser for nothing, it's just that I'm a passionate LFC fan. Liverpool are looking soo much better under Hodgson, some people are even considering them as title contenders for this year, so it looks real promising, hope we have a great season ahead! But then again I have to say, of all teams, they HAD to play Arsenal first. Unlucky!

The Mafia Wars Post

2010-07-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

Well, it's coming to the end of the month, it's also close to my baby sister's birthday and about time that we are travelling to Singapore. Today I was just realized that one of my closest friends is leaving the school, AND KL is going to leave for India forever, it was absolutely shocking for me to receive that text in which he told me that he was leaving forever. Along with that, I am currently re-hooked onto the Singaporean Chinese dramas. I used to watch them all the time, and then I stopped watching for quite a while. But now I'm back to watching them, and coincidence that I am going to Singapore soon as well. Along with that, I just watched Music and Lyrics earlier today and it never ever stops surprising me. I mean it has pretty good lyrics and a storyline that makes sense, and along with that, I always like the bit at the end when the band PoP shows up, I mean the video is funny, and different. It's a pretty good show!

Currently, my jukebox is currently not really working, I don't know why most music doesn't work now. Apparently, most music only work on a MP4 player. Got a few pretty good tracks currently in there, from the quick paced 'Dynamite' by Taio Cruz to the song I find we a good tune and excellent lyrics, it's 'Secrets' by One Republic, probabably one of the best songs around now. It's got a few slow tunes as well, with 'The Only Exception' by Paramore.

I've been also waiting for a long time for something to happen on an internet game, I'm talking about the new Las Vegas location on Mafia Wars, it was said to be really big, VIP Entrances were rare and the prizes were awesome. It's pretty cool and gonna go to Mafia Wars soo much more now!

Holidays: LMNOP style

2010-07-27T23:32:00.000-07:00

Well, the holidays have been pretty cool some badminton lessons, coupled with drumming and guitar, it's been an interesting holiday, considering I normally bum around doing practically nothing except do useless stuff on the computer. Been eating quite a bit recently, got fried chicken, sushi, basically the works. This is also normally the time I go on long holidays, especially considering the fact that I went to South Africa, along with France and Italy around this time of year years back, so it's also kinda different in that context, working on a brand new jukebox on this site, might not be everyone's cup of tea though, I'm just putting it there for me to remember songs:). Along with that, I'm still happy that I'm going to be off to Singapore in a few months or weeks time, so back to my roots for me back then!

You guys might not know this but one of the big reasons I want to go to Singapore is because for some reason my XBOX is broken, apparently it creates a red circle of 3, I'm personally not sure if it's the ring of death so I'm hoping to get it fixed in Singapore.

Well, today is Internet at starbucks,Borders! I'm at the mall The Curve today and checking out the new magazines etc. It's quite an interesting day and I'm gonna watch some sort of Peter Pan performance on this Saturday.

Long days, My Holiday Edition

2010-07-23T02:26:00.000-07:00

The Indoor Squash Court In Curve

The New Guitar:)

Well, it's been a pretty long holiday for me so far, and only a week has gone, the first week went by pretty quickly with me doing barely anything. The second week has been a pretty busy week, kicking off with a busy Monday, with a 1 hour guitar lesson and another two hours of badminton coaching, Tuesday was relatively quiet, hardly doing anything, whilst I caught up with a few friends on Wednesday when we went to watch Despicable Me in 3-D, it was pretty cool, really funny at times and also a cute film to watch in several instances in the movie. Thursday was absolutely tiring, first kicking off with a drum lesson and then a guitar lesson immediately after that. And that wasn't the end of it, with an Art lesson(which I'm not really happy about getting into) following after that. I pretty much went to bed early that day. Today(Friday) was cool, watching the Sorcerer's apprentice. It's a pretty funny and good film, a must watch. Definitely in the top 20 films I have watched(and I have watched a lot).

My Holidays

2010-07-19T08:34:00.000-07:00

So my holidays have been continuing and I have heard about the wonderful news that Joe Cole has finally ended speculation by signing for Liverpool, for free! I think Liverpool FC might need a versatile player like him and he will be a fantastic addition to the squad, especially thinking that Riera is leaving really soon and Ryan Babel can't stick up to expectation. I'm also pretty sad as there is huge speculation that Mascherano is pretty much all set to leave Liverpool FC for Inter Milan to join Rafa Benitez. It's pretty downhill for Liverpool despite Joe Cole joining.

And now to my holiday, I mean that IS the title for this post. The first week of my holiday was I admit it, useless, I did nothing and did nothing to help myself. But compared to now, I have a pretty grueling schedule ahead. From badminton and guitar on Monday to the art and guitar on Wednesday and then the drumming on Friday, I guess it's gonna be quite busy for me. But I'm watching Despicable Me on Wednesday with company! I really miss school over the holidays sometimes(and no, it's not for the studying if that's what you're thinking, lol)

Is Torres Seriously Worth That Much Still?

2010-07-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

A few months ago, if people asked me about what I thought was Torres' value, my answer would have most certainly 'priceless', but a couple of injuries and a dismal World Cup campaign has certainly changed my mind, he is definitely not the priceless player he used to be. Right now, I value him at roughly around 58 million pounds, I think that's perfect, taking account that Ronaldo was worth 80 million. But still, it must be remembered, he brought Anfield to it's feet on many occasions, providing that glimpse of brilliance, I mean who could ever fill the boots of Fernando Torres, El Nino de oro, The Kid, that kid is one of those absolutely unstoppable players of the game, from his first Anfield goal against the almighty Chelsea when he dummied Ben Haim, to the unbelievable shot he produced against Sunderland. He could just save Liverpool when they need him most.

It's been a pretty long break from school for me, I mean I was sorta getting to the school habit before this break came along, anyways, I watched Eclipse, and my have I gotta say, it's a mega chick flick, I mean what movie puts in the line between the supposed 'hottest characters' of 'I'm hotter than you' it's just plain money grabbing from the teenage girls if you ask me. Otherwise, the holiday has been pretty long, I gotta admit, that's exactly why I've been doing a lot of blogging recently.

The World Cup Is Over, What's next?

2010-07-16T08:51:00.000-07:00

So World Cup fever is over, I guess it's the second best thing for me, The Open championship, Tiger Woods had an excellent first day, but he seems like he is faltering today, currently 2 over from four holes. I'm also frustrated that I have to rely on the online leader board to see Tiger's position because of no coverage. And since I am also writing about golf, check this blog out:http://alexnoren.com/ it's an amazing blog made by golfer Alex Noren.

A Bubbly Day :)

2010-07-14T23:13:00.000-07:00

Check this out, this was like my sister's happy bubble day because she she skipped school today, and she really enjoyed herself, even wetting me with that bubble mix on several instances, it was a beautiful day, and check out the bubbles flying.

Guess What?

2010-07-14T08:01:00.000-07:00

I just found out this amazing and 100% true fact, there is only 1 team in this entire World Cup who did not have a single loss in their campaign, and it's New Zealand, look at their results, all three are draws, even if they didn't go true to the next round, they still made it unbeaten, I respect them greatly! They have already moved to 54th place in the FIFA Rankings!

If you guys wanted to know a little more about me, here it is. I am a 13 year old boy from well, it's kinda complicated. I was born in Singapore, although both my parents are Malaysian, which makes me a Malaysian, I stayed in Singapore for around 9 years and I moved to the quiet town of Kuantan, in the East Coast of Malaysia, and when another 4 years have passed, I moved to the mega city of Kuala Lumpur, the Singapore system has clearly been the hardest to cope with, with strict standards and mega tests, and that's where it all changed in Kuantan, I switched from the local system of Singapore to the incredibly relaxed British system because of Malay being my clear weak link if I entered a local school. Kuala Lumpur took it up a notch in schooling, but nothing will ever compare to studying in Singapore. I love it here in Kuala Lumpur, it's perfect, not too hard, not too easy, and there are awesome people here!

Do It Like Beckham

2010-07-14T07:08:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia

It looks like Thierry Henry has signed for the New York Red Bulls, following the footsteps of Beckham, who moved from Spain to the States around two years ago, it was a move for a player at perhaps the end of his career to wind down and relax, while getting more cash and popularity in the States. Barcelona's soon to be former number 14 was disgraced after his hand ball against Ireland and had a disappointing World Cup Campaign, which France got kicked out of in the group stage. Henry was also linked with West Ham.

Legacy of champions post

2010-07-11T20:56:00.000-07:00

Their names will be remembered for a long time, from the hero who scored in the final, Andres Iniesta, to Iker Casillas' leadership and David Villa's goals which brought them so far, Spain have been crowned World Champions in the FIFA World Cup. From Paul The Octopus' 100% predictions to the sometimes swerving Jabulani ball, this has certainly been a World Cup to remember. However, from a Liverpool fan's point of view, it's different, when Torres was chasing the ball in the final minutes of extra time, he seemed to aggravate his hamstring, again and it looks set to bring him a season of woe and injury, but nonetheless, Spain are champions of the world!
