wordless

i am speechless.. i glued myself infront of the TV set witnessing one of the BEST Badminton men's singles match EVER and it has to end in favour to that great wall.

it's a devastating lost.. a lost that really really made tears roll out from my eyes. He was thissssss close.. and yet look so far.

but remember this, You have my utmost respect for you will be the Olympics Champion come next year! I trully believed you throughly deserved the title next year because you work so hard.

All malaysians will be behind you supporting you all the time minus the sceptical one of course!

Thank you LCW! :)

mixed feelings

am seriously exhasuted, tired and everything u can name of. exciting week of local sports but working my ass off so hard for this week and finally my day off today and monday.. but i will not get the rest i wanted cause i got to go back to penang for some prayers on monday and back again to kl on that evening itself.
i dun even have time for "me" time already as work is taking my whole time. with the amount of news we are having now, there is no way the schedule could be changed. and next month is even more like a killer month with the World cup and it has been confirmed we are showing 35 matches LIVE.. so there u go.. can u imagine this???
and things happened that i cant even voice out.. plus could u imagine this situation for u to ponder upon. football finishes at 10.45pm. and live news at 11.00pm with only 10 minutes left to edit, putting the graphics and updating hell lots of results. sigh. it's awesome but then.. there shud be a limit to this.
but oh well, i should not complain much.. but haihs.. it could have been a great week had malaysia qualified to the final of thomas cup. but then.. they did their best it is just that their best wasnt BEST enough though.

Congratulations also to the women's team of South Korea for lifting the Uber Cup. u r awesome!!!! beating china is no mean feet but u did it convincingly!!! and see how that arrogant Li Yong Bo said in the newspapers... padan muka.

will china's dominance continue in the thomas cup final vs indonesia? let us all find out 2pm live @ so many channels.. but if u want extra post match interview.. then be sure to tune in to astro arena@801.

=)
oh p/s : did i even mentioned that my favourite football club lost by a single point? blah. we will come back stronger next season. all for now. i need my much needed BREAK!!

the BLUES finally Rules after 3 years

1stly, hats off to Chelsea for being crowned the Barclays Premier League Champion of 2009/2010. U deserve it.. *tat's all, no more than that*

2ndly, Malaysia beat Nigeria 5-0 in Thomas Cup without needing to go on court because the Nigerian team did not arrived for the match. I still thought the nigerians will be coming and play as this will serve as a warm up for malaysia.. but now, the thomas cup team got to work extra hard vs Japan for the next group match.. Hopefully malaysia wins... :)

3rd, malaysia lost to australia in the hockey azlan shah cup. sad. I tot malaysia could win. Now malaysia is out for the semis spot.. we should have done better against pakistan the other day.

4th, hectic month but it is kind of sad to see Hockey is beyond malaysia's reach now.. Hope that the Thomas Cup team can produce some magic and win perhaps? although, many are saying it's a miracle to even qualify to semis.. sigh. but again, i am hoping malaysia will go to the FINAL!!!!

Sporting Heroes!!!

Cheng, sorry that i was not able to meet up with u when i was back the other week.. only 2 days and not enough time as i was quite tight up with family stuff to settle also.. seriously i shud be back more days next time.. perhaps a week, if not sure not enough time want.. haihs. makan all penang food also tak sempat... GRRR..

wanted to post a comment in your new post on the outing with Jian Ming and Selina, but i somehow dunno why i cant post it there.. apasal ar? hehe..

==========================================================

Ok, the reason me writing this post is to express out how my fave team is back in the hunt for the Barclays Premier League title.

After the champions league exit at the hand of Bayern Munich, it was so hard to swallow but life has to go on, you win some, you lose some.. you aint going to win all the time..

and then we drew at blackburn last weekend. it was an agony and i was certain enough that we are out of the title race with Chelsea winning and widening up the points.. and then this week was exceptional.. manchester derby is something you do not want to miss out.. and so, my colleague and I decided to stay back at office after our news at 8pm to watch the match..
and again, we were frustrated that it is going to be a second consecutive stalemate for United.. and with 30 seconds to go, i was muttering to my colleague 30 seconds left on the stoppage time, do u think we can produce something to win it??.. and the rest like they say is history... Paul Scholes pop-up to head in a beautiful cross by Evra.. it was that fantastic. and we were shouting and jumping mad at office. there were only 2 of us in the newsroom, the rest of ppl was upstairs as they have a live show going on with Rugby Asian 5 Nations.. but we were estatic.. we could not believe it.. we finally got that luck and we are now a point behind chelsea after surprisingly they lost to Spurs last nite.. and with 3 games to go, it's GAME ON.
and TODAY at work could not be much better scripted.. it's again, my colleague and I on shift on sunday.. and both of us are MAN U fans.. and she was getting ready Glory Glory Man United Song to be played at her desktop when those Liverpool's and Chelsea's fan walk in to office.. and we couldnt have chosen a better moment.. our big boss who is also a liverpool fan was also in office.. and we played it out LOUD.. and liverpool's fan were closing their ears and pretending that they did not hear anything at all... and the fact tat they perli us Man U fans when we lost to Bayern.. , it was a sweet revenga and definitely a payback time.. Big Boss was laughing/smiling when the song were being played.. haha.. we were satisfied... but again, we are hoping, Liverpool to do us a favour when they meet Chelsea on the 1st of May..

in short, chelsea still has the upper hand now with 1 point advantage and if they do win the League Title, i will be happy for them but Man United will be fighting all the way till d last second and not giving up. even if we did not win, i had an awesome time around with a bunch of ppl who are FUN! today certainly was a good day working!

oh, btw, we should also be proud that OUR mixed Doubles pair won at the Asian Badminton Championship in New Delhi, India.. a great TONIC and a BOOST to our BADMINTON SQUAD! they fought all the way and i am so proud of THEM! congratulations Liu Ying and Peng Soon! =)
and also to the runner up for the WOMEN DOUBLES team of Vivian and Khe Wei...

Nicol David also won in the finals of the Cayman Island Open beating 2nd seed, jenny duncalf in straight sets.

Congratulations to our national heroes and many more wins for them with the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Asian Games this year!

Cheers to our Malaysian Sporting Heroes!

it's officially a bleak week!

on my previous post i mention that malaysia has one more pair left in men doubles semis, and yes, they lost. so no malaysian pair in the finals of world championship. how sad is that in our own front, we are celebrating our 50th independence in weeks time. sad. sigh.sigh.

i still havent touch my 214 assignment readings and 211 research.. hmmm... i'm too lazy la, to put in a way.. haha

A week that is full of drama

monday was when YKT 214 lecture is on watching the debate between 3 scholars. i was optimist that pool's thought was right as i only wan the ideal site of the world, pretty being naive. but herbert schiller was more realist and pessismist. then with YKT 211 research assignment going on, i alomost died. sigh. why is it has to be so tough??? life hasnt going the way it is.. breeze and peaceful.. everyday is tough.. and having not enough sleep is another problem. sigh. i dunno how many a times had i been crying.(for another unavoidable reason)-not for assignments nor studies. sigh,sigh,sigh.

to know my favourite team and the defending champs on england start their 2 matches with a disappointing results alos do not help much and in our own front.. the badminton world championships. men singles, out- men doubles-malaysia only left with one pair.. the much expected, Koo-Tan failed to make the semis. sad.sad. sad. how sad this week is. and it'snot even ending yet. 2 more days to go. will the veteran pair go all the way to win? i hope so. hopefully its the end of a bleak week.

oh i almost forgot, 21ppl died in the horror bus crash in bukit gantang.. that is also happening this week.. what on earth is going on this week??? sigh.. who is to blame for this????/ grrr.. everything seems not right.

i think this is one of THE toughest week in my life. i never been through such a roller coaster life. life with studies especialy this semester is killing me. it's hard le. the pressure is too much! grrr.. i just cant wait for this smester to be over and to shout out a hug relief!!!!!

all of this is my ramblings, that is the main reason why i named my blog- ramblings of the day.

blah-now i have ykt 214 assignments and ykt 211 assignments to very about. hopefully my next post will be a cheerful one.

Happy graduation to the USM graduates! =)
