jersey 002 : goodbye Highbury

salaam all

this is my second entry regarding my jersey collections. this time it's from 2005-2006 season, a season where we all bid our farewell to The Home Of Football. it was indeed a sad and emotional day to see the King of Highbury, Titi kissed Highbury's pitch to mark his thanks and goodbye to Highbury. but we need the move to the Emirates, so i won't complaint too much

ok, that should be it about Highbury. on to the jersey now. as it was the final season at Highbury the jersey was made in a special redcurrant colour which is a very different color compared to the normal red color that always be our first jersey color. it was kind of a tribute to the 1st ever jersey that we wore at Highbury. i myself adore this jersey

on the NN, after fulfilling my wish to put in Wrighty name for my 1st ever original jersey in the season before i plan to start a new project. i wanted to pay my tribute to the Invincibles (except A$$ley H0le of course). so i started my tribute project with the player that start it all. the player that define the 'Wengerball'. he is about the only good thing Bruce Rioch did in his short tenure as Arsenal manager. for me, talentwise he is up there with the best of them all. and by the best of them all i didn't mean Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldinho. what i mean by the best of them all is Zidane, Maradona and Titi. what make him less appreciated is that he never won a major world class tournament. but he was never under appreciate at Highbury though. there was a saying that if Thierry Henry is the King of Highbury, then Dennis Bergkamp must be the God of Highbury. and that, in my opinion is very true. i will end my post this time with a quote from Marco Van Basten.

"If Ryan Giggs is worth £20 million, Bergkamp is worth £100 million."

jersey 001 : the very 1st one

salaam all

i've been wanting to post up my collection of jersey that i have for some time. finally i'm able to do it now. but instead of putting all jerseys in 1 post, i will do 1 jersey per post. so, it's just normal for me to start with the 1st one

the very 1st original jersey that i own is a 2004-2005 season Arsenal home jersey

it was an expensive things to me at that time (not that it's not expensive now mind you..haha). however, after getting my pay from a part time job as an operator for Celcom at that time i'd force the decision to buy the jersey on myself. not just that, i managed to convinced my good friend Ponato to also buy an Arsenal jersey along with me..hahaha, evil me

so right after we finish our shift around 1.00 pm we took monorail to BB Plaza. and without much thinking when we reach there (as thinking may cause us to cancel our plan), we went straight to al-Ikhsan and buy the jerseys. i also plan to put name and number to my jersey. and there was not even a question in my mind to the number and name to be put at the back of my first Arsenal jersey. it can only be my all time Arsenal favourite player; WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGGHHHHTTTTT :-)

so there goes my 1st post in regards of my jersey collection. much more to follow, just hope that i will have time to post them

my new ride :-)

salaam all

dah lama aku tak update blog aku ni. been busy these past few weeks. kerja, family and lots of other stuffs. my baby dah abes her semester, so it's time to rest and release all the tension she had during her semester. Asyraf dapat masuk IKM Sik. tahniah bro, dapat dalam Kedah pulak tu. study betui2 sebab takdak pelajaran susah nk survive hidup dalam dunia ni sekarang. dikSha still tunggu result UPU. hopefully akan dapat apa yang hang nak, abang selalu doakan adik2 abang. Apat dah abes final, la ni tengah cuti kat rumah. Fahmi pulak nak exam PMR taon ni. buat elok2, toksah dok main game banyak sangat. Bang Li pulak dah turn 29, harap2 suka hadiah daripada adik2 hang :-) kak Zila ngan Ain Sofia sihat macam biasa. geram aku tengok anak menakan aku sorang tu

ok, now to the real story i want to write here. aku dah ada new ride, a Green Apple Savvy. i gave a sneak preview in my last post. there'll be more pictures in this post but i would like to share the story on how i become the owner of a Katak Chumel as my baby put it ;-)

semuanya bermula dalam bulan 3. aku tengah dalam keadaan paling sibuk dalam 3 taon aku berkerja kat company aku sekarang. somebody decided to make a mess, and me and most of my department colleague spent almost 2 months clearing her sh*t. tuhan saja yang tau apa dah jadi ngan dia (the person who cause the sh*t). i don't even bother to know her name. anyway, aku balik daripada ofis dalam pukui 5.30, close to 6.00 pagi dan daripada jauh aku ternampak satu kereta parking dalam area flat aku. wow! lawanya. straightaway aku jatuh chenta. as i come nearer to the car (in my usual ride, a Honda. Honda ex5 that is..haha) baru aku sedaq yang kereta tu ialah a Savvy. pasaipa aku tak pernah sedaq ada kereta tu kat situ dan jatuh chenta earlier aku sendiri pon tak tau la

lepaih tu, setiap hari aku lalu kat parking lot tu aku akan ushar kereta tu. semakin sehari semakin suka aku kat Savvy. then aku pon buat research pasai Savvy. thanks for all the guys in www.savoc.net. aku memang dapat banyak tips dari sana. so the next step is ialah pi showroom dan ushar sendiri kereta tu dari dekat. so aku pi showroom kat PJ, dekat2 area ZNK. tapi jawapan tak berapa meyakinkan daripada salesman membuatkan aku rasa tak best. so aku decide untuk call Proton i-care dan dari situ baru aku dapat the real pictures on produk Savvy ni

then aku balik Kedah, untuk pi ushar dan survey betui2 pasai Savvy ni kat kedai Proton. meaning nk survey harga, maintenance rate dan banyak lagi benda. aku masuk tak kurang dari 5 showroom kat Aloq Staq and to my surprise there's an special program for Savvy purchase. salesman2 kat Aloq Staq kata nama dia 'scrapping program', where kita boleh trade in any kind of car as long as ada road tax, insurans dan lepaih check JPJ, Puspakom and polis bila beli Savvy dan kita akan dapat cash voucher of rm5k. wow! that is amazing. on top of that, if i choose to take the 2007 model i will get another rm3.5k discount. this is too good to turn down methink at that time. what more is my father own and old Toyota car. abah aku panggei model KE20 :-) unused should i add since i bought my parent a Iswara last year

so, intention aku yang sebenaqnya nak survey saja teruih bertukaq. the deal is too good to turn down. so aku balik rumah, dan tanya abah aku pasai kereta Toyota lama abah tu. the conversation sounded a bit like below

me : abah, kereta Toyota abah kalau juai 2nd hand dapat berapa
abah : hmmm..dalam rm200 kot
me : bagi kat cek la abah, buat beli kereta Savvy. dapat voucher rm5k
abah : ambik la, daripada dok tersadai kat bangsai belakang tu

yahoo!!!! so, long story short aku akhirnya beli Savvy aku kat Aloq Staq with a discount of rm8.5k in total. hujung bulan 5 haritu aku balik ambik. terima kasih Yasmeen and Nisah sebab teman dan jaga aku time drive balik KL..hehe..aku masih amatur dalam driving, so kasik chance la eh

bawah ni gambaq2 Savvy aku kat blok 21 ni. so my baby, i promise you that i'll pick you up when you come back from Aussie after this :-)
