bengong me & Dudu return in 1 hour time

salaam & good day all

was supposes to write something about Kedah Malaysia Cup semi final match against Kelantan and Arsenal Champions League group match again Dudu's Shakhtar Donetsk last night but due to certain reasons does not materialize. 'certain reasons' in this case were

1. Kedah match was tonight, not last night. good thing my wife had a chat with my brother who's in Kedah right now. if not I'd look like stupid idiot waiting for the match close to midnight here last night.
2. so after that me and my wife decided to watch some movie first. we took up the challenge of 'Frozen'. damn that movie sucks big time. fall asleep after the second guy fighting the wolves.

so here i am, up at 4.30 in the morning (most of all because I haven't perform Isya' yet...huhu) and writing something about all the above 1 hour from kickoff time.

so news are that Cesc and Theodore are available. Robin, the Verminator, Bak and Koci still not though. seriously what the hell is up with our injuries situation. looks to be worse by the season. really, somebody should have take a look at it and come up with permanent solution. so with all the news re: injuries, comeback, suspension, league commitment on the weekend etc, I'm expecting the team to be as per below.

Lukasz

Manu Eboue   Laici   Johan   Kieran

Denny Boy   Alex Song   Jack

Theodore   Marouane   Tomas

with Carlos Vela, Nik and Samir to come in as substitute in the second half.

should have been a straight forward win if the team concentrate enough and play to their usual ability. my main worry is that our defensive play as a group seems to be very, very poor. we just did not defend very well, full stop. I'm not sure what really was the cause for this but someone ought to have a look at it (paging Mr. Arsene Wenger). and by saying 'if the team concentrate enough', I mean to not let mind game such as this affect how we perform tonight.

it's time for Subuh prayer now. will be watching the match after that. here's hoping for a good entertaining game, and an Arsenal win la of course. till then, ciao.

oh, and 1 other thing not to be forgotten. welcome back Dudu :-) I'm sure Gooners at the Emirates will be giving you superb reaction later on

Arsenal 2-1 Birmingham : a late review (and a short one at that)

salaam & good day all

I know it's been 2 days since the match, but I'd promised myself I'll do a review on that match so here I am writing a review for it. anyway will only do a short and brief review of it since I'm planning to post up a couple more entries today

their goal.

the header was unstoppable from Lukasz point of view. it's the kind of header that you (as a GK) will be damn frustrated that you are not able to do anything about it because it is very slow. but a well placed header to the bottom corner at that. defending the cross and the header could be better though.

the penalty/the dive/Marouane the 'diver'/our equalizer.

the penalty was the correct decision. and Marouane did not dive. there was contact, and he fall after the contact. yes, he did ensure that the referee know of the foul but it was not a dive.

our winning goal.

coolly taken by Marouane. he and Jack seems to have a very good understanding of each other.

Jack dismissal.

a deserved red card but I prefer to look things on the brighter side. now he will get his much needed rest, and hopefully he will learn from this. at least learn to gain revenge on other thing Jack, and make sure the referee did not see it..bwahahahaha

MOTM.

Jack deserve this just ahead of Marouane in my opinion. I'm not sure whether am I supposed to be happy or sad that an 18 year old midfielder is our best player so far this season.

will post up a couple more entries on the Kedah semi final match and Arsenal CL group match later on. till then, ciao.

pictureOfTheMoment updated & later post

salaam & good day all

just get back from doing some groceries shopping and the bank, my other half deposited some money in the fear that both of us will spend them all on makan2..hahaha. as per the entry title suggest, pictureOfTheMoment had been updated from my lil girl Ain Sofia > 1 year old photo to this photo

this is what we (me & my wife) will first see when we come out from the apartment that we are currently staying in. to be exact, this is how the right sided of the view looks like.

a few things that later I'd like to write about today.

1. Arsenal performances against Birmingham short review
2. early preview for the upcoming match tomorrow early morning and Arsenal related news
3. Kedah also playing tonight, Malaysia Cup semi final

will do the writing a bit later on. now off to kitchen for me. nope, not cooking today but helping (albeit only in potong2 bawang..hehehe) my other half in making laksa..yummy

till then, ciao.

what happen when you leave your blog unattended for more than 1 year

salaam & good day all

it'd been more than 1 year since I last updated this blog when I opened it back yesterday. and my other half noticed something weird on my last post, in the comment column. apparently i have 39 comments for that entry, which quite a high number of comments for a blog who only have 2 viewers (my other half and my lil sister).

so with curiosity in mind, i clicked and on it. and both of us burst to laughter after that.

apparently, only the 1st comment was a valid/counted comment. all the comments after that are spam comment. never had any kind of similar spam comment attack before, hence I think my un-knowledgeability (or stupidity for never anticipate this..hahaha) can be forgiven.

so, that is what will happen when you leave your blog unattended for more than 1 year.

ciao.

i'm back

salaam & good day all

yeah, i'm back updating this blog of mine. thought that it'd served me better if i have 1 place to merapu about whatever this head of mine having interest on and 1 other place just to upload picture with simple description of it. this other place to upload my picture is of course my opera picture blog.

anyway, am re-arranging my page now. do not know that we can amend the width of the column in the page.hahahaha..mengong me. will post up entries after finish with that. in the meantime, this blog will look messy from time to time before i complete my blog make over ;-)

till then, ciao.

tragedi durian Raub

salaam all

semalam kawanku, Yu Leong membawak durian daripada Raub. aku dengan gembiranya amek 2 bijik yang tak belah lagi dan nak bawak balik Wangsa Maju makan. disebabkan bau durian yang teramatlah kuat, aku pon tinggaikan durian2 tu kat pondok guard Crystal Plaza. pak guard plak takdak, lampu tutup jadi aku ingat depa dah balik. so aku pon dengan innocentnya tinggai la durian2 tu kat situ

then naik ofis, abeskan nasik goreng bukak posa aku. pi semayang maghrib dan teruih siap2 nak balik dari ofis. turun saja dari ofis dan sampai ke pondok guard, dah takdak dah durian2 aku. teruih aku nampak dalam tong sampah tepi tu. dan juga muka kekenyangan 2 orang pak guard dalam pondok guard tu. teruih jadi muka bersalah bila aku tanya depa ada makan durian aku ka dak..hahahaha

takdak rezeki aku rasanya ni. takpa la, lenkali mintak Yu Leong bawak lagi..hehe
