Beautiful Game

After dominating the five-time World Cup champions in the first half, the Americans were powerless as Brazil scored three goals in the final 45 minutes to rally for a 3-2 win. Brazil know all about winning major trophies, crowned world champions five times and this is the third Confederations Cup victory.

routine celebration...

best player of the tournament...

No doubt about the samba power but I'm impressed with the US team. They are competitive, tactical and very physical team. It shows, when they beat Spain in the semis...

Back to our shores, according to FIFA standing in June 2009, we were ranked #159 compared to Thailand (116), Singapore (134) and Indonesia (138). The nation #1 sport still failed to produced good result despite the introduction of many formats by the governing body...or was it a trial and error approach... if that's the case...there's a long way to go...

Lesson learnt #1

We all make decisions of varying importance every day, but do you always made the best decisions? Probably not. As for me, I f*#k up big time last week. Things happen and I'm not sure whether that decision ego or soul driven? Is it coming from the head or the heart?

Well nuff said...









Go back to basics, evaluate your live and think, think, think carefully before doing/agreeing to anything....sigh.

Hari Bapa

Happy fathers day to all the fathers around the world...I became a father on Dec 23, 2003.

and while I may still be groping around in the dark, trying to figure out what being a father is all about I'm blessed with two wonderful children, Iman Hadif (6) and Amna Najla (4)...at times it feels like carrying the weight of the entire world on my shoulders x2 ...fuuuhhh...

and to Bapak, no words can describe my love and respect for you...a man of very few words, he prefers to let his actions do all the talking. I knew that I've had some excellent pointers from the best father a guy could ever ask for...

Bapak, sifu & mentor all in one

bapak & mama, I luv u guys so much...

To bapak, thank you for everything...

Imans treat

Since Iman did well in his test, he got to choose a place to have dinner...

equine park

boxing chicken n fries

amna as usual...dah kenyang...minum saja...

sean

We got it last february, I guess now he's already 8 mths old. We treat him like a baby...playful, super manja and active (but this posting is purely on sleepy mode!!).




He'll roam freely in the house and the cage is merely a furniture...hardly used...most of the time sleeps in our bed...

sweet dreams...

persian rug??

muka hang ni kadang2 cam rimau...

caught here while doing the 'lambada' on CiCi (the other female persian)...sean...sean... u should try harder, I need a few more of your clones!!

haze is back ...again and etc

Malaysia is blessed with 3 seasons dry, wet and latest man made season is haze. During this time people will monitor API closely. Haze is due to open burning (most hotspots is in Sumatera) and forest fire and the effect here is compounded with the anticipation of prolonged dry spell from June to Sept...

My son, Iman is down with flu due to unhealthy air quality (mc for 2 days... hmm.. not sure whether its the flu or the long school break) . People were advised to cut down on outdoor activities and drink a lot of water. And for the time being we have to accept it as it is coz theres still no solution till date...



Anyway, Amna is still ok but notti sangat (look at her face and split personality)...always quarrel with her mum...





hmmmm, mummy is ok except for slight hangover due to overdose of desperate housewives series...



not forgetting sean... as usual....sleepy!!!




And me, hehehe no comment!!

To Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, we wish you the best of luck...

TRANSFER MADNESS

Ronaldo's £80m move from Manchester United to Real Madrid will be a new world record once completed. Here's the current history makers:



1. Kaka, £56m from AC Milan to Real Madrid 2009
2. Zinedine Zidane, £46.7m, Juventus to Real Madrid 2001
3. Luis Figo, £37, Barca to Real 2000
4. Hernan Crespo, £35.7m Parma to Lazio 2000
5. Robinho, £32.5m, Real Madrid to Man City 2008

These transfers represent a serious challenge to the idea of fair play and the concept of financial balance in the league all over the world. Soon, they'll be only a few elite clubs playing because others cannot compete due to financial constraints. The small one will be left struggling with their loyal supporters. Nothing much can be said, its a free market...willing buyer, willing seller.

When can we see our national player, be in the same league and command the same figure..too big question mark!!

Only time will tell...

Hikayat Gwen

Of my 3 domestic cat (tom, ben and gwen), gwen is the only survivor, yg dua ekoq lagi hilang, kena kebaih...semua nama adalah character cartoon yang digilai iman & amna.. ben & gwen is from ben 10 and tom of course from tom & jerry.

If i'm not mistaken last January, gwen dapat 4 kitten....tapi sayangnya semua tak survive!!!



Last week (7/6/2009) gwen dapat lagi 5 ekor kitten, so hopefully this time around, semuanya selamat, tapi yang musykil tu ada seekoq warna hitam,, mungkinkah ini angkara sean??? Next posting aku cerita pasal sean pulak...hehehe

Twelve die in mosque shooting

By: BANGKOK POST AND AGENCIES

Newspaper section: News

NARATHIWAT : At least 12 Muslim villagers have been killed and 11 seriously injured when a group of unidentified gunmen opened fire in a mosque in Cho Airong district.

The shooting took place about 8.30pm on Monday, when about 100 worshippers were performing evening prayers inside the mosque at Ai Payae village.

Aku mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya kekejaman yang dilakukan ke atas penduduk-penduduk Islam di selatan Thailand...never ending story...tidak pernah ada jalan penyelesaian yang konkrit..ntah sampai bila konflik ini akan berterusan...

Show me the money...

"I'll say for the last time and I mean the last time. I do not want to leave Milan"

These are the words of Real Madrid's latest signing Kaka - last week... and for a cool £56m, who says the economy is bad???

Keep the faith

Hmmmm.........

Been thinking too hard lately .... maintaining silence despite my worry is a continual uncomfortable practice. However, the highest compliment I could pay the ones I love was trusting they could stand by me thru thick or thin. If I made mistakes, so what?

Our worth as human beings lies in ability to love others...

priceless gift...

Life is so complex... enjoy it while you can...hehehe

adios...
