since when my bosses became shinobis?

today, i went to office as usual and started to complete my compiling and debugging of java classes. then, suddenly, tey hen cherk.sun.com came to me and spoke slowly that shariza's last day before her resignation would be today.then i realized there'll be no more girls below 26yrs old at my office..argh!!hehe. watie came to me and asked whether i had anything on during lunch hour. i said i was free and she said we'll be going to lunch together as shariza's farewell lunch. wow, free lunch!!sepp..nice. but i didn't know where we were going tho. so, just went thru my work and at 1230 sharp, everybody packed and started to move. i followed. (japs, td ade dak mlayu lelaki masok and ckp that he's here for an interview - wa, xde karisma gle mamat ni..serius xde gaye, xde karisma)..

so, the 6 of us (faisal xdtg g at 1230 so die kene tinggal, big boss was not in, jay and azman went to meps or tmnet i wasn't sure) went out, locked everything up and started moving. we went by 2 cars - sufian's corolla and watie's wira. guys and gals..seperated.so, suffian said we'll be having lunch at j.w. mariott.. nice!we went to this huge hotel and walked towards the lobby. watie said the cafe is downstairs. i was thinking of buffet or western food, apperently, we went to a japanese restaurant - shitted, i don't take sushis..haha. so, the waitress put us in a room (for privacy purpose) and we started to chat a lot.

watak- anne(off. manager), watie(development manager),suffian(network manager), tey(network admin), me(internshitt) and kak shariza (the royal guest of honour - analyst programmer junior exec)..

-scene 1-
anne : what are we gonna eat? i dunno..
watie : i came here with zainul(my bigboss) last time and had bento
..the waitress brought us the menu..everybody became quiet flipping without understanding a shit what are we having..
shariza : i'll have the codfish (dunno how to spell and duno what it was)
watie : i'll have number 3, i xreti sebut la..pakai nombor jela
waitress : huh, number 3 ape ek?tgk menu kejap
..then everyone ordered pakai numberings..haha..
-end of scene 1-

-scene 2-
..tey was overexcited with shariza's digicam and amek gamba sumerang..
arien : u a tey, if jumpe gadgets sure jadi saiko kejaps..
watie and anne : i don't like taking pictures while eating la.. dahla kalo xmakan dah buruk, ni kan tgh makan..surely lg buruk,haha
watie : take the pictures of our foodla so after this we can paste at the office to know what to eat here in future
anne : yala, then afterwards if the menu reshuffle the numbers, we can knowla if it was the different dish..kte bukan hafal pon name dier, just the numbers what we hafal..so, got to know the picture of our food.
-end of scene 2-

-scene 3-
tey : u know a, nelby and vasanth (the indian programmer) said that his house here..he bought for 200..u can buy a village there in india
watie : really?
sufian : wow, 200 ringgit u can buy a village?
shariza : nolaa, 200k la
..everyone laughed becoz sufian nyer interpretion habat..
anne : wah,trasela bcoz im an indian..so low a the value there..haha
watie : let me buy rahul's village la there (rahul ni progremer yg dibenci), plant fruit trees and sell them
tey : u sell durian la there
arien : haih..watla u tey
tey : reallyla, in india they say by eating durian, women can get pregnant easily lo
watie : okla, anne n i will buy the village there and tanam durian, make business..hehe
anne : if zainul aa, he buys the country u know..hahahaha
sufian : if datuk, i think he'll invest (datuk is a person yg xsuke beli2 cpat,he'll invest his millions and billions slowly and steadily.. so lawak sufian ni agak berkualiti la - lawak epoi)
-end of scene 3-

-scene 4-
watie : the sliding door can close u know
anne : what for?
watie : do we need privacy, if not u can go la and close
anne : we don't needla, we just need to close so that people won't hear us laughing like shit hahaha
-end of scene 4-


-scene 5-
watie : eh, nak sudula, xmo chopstick, i xreti
sufian : me too
..but when the waitress came they segan to mintak and tekedek2 tegelak2 seniri..whispering to me so that i yg mintak the cutleries for them..
watie : i dun wan la gune chopstick,nnt u all dah abes mkn,dah petang br i abes..
anne : me too la,xreti la..arien ngn tey buleh la..derang cine!
-end of scene 5-

haha, there were a lot of scenes la actually, really funny and nice to hang out with the bosses, there are all cool and enjoyable to be with. seriously, altho sume dah tua, bab ngutuk others, wat lawak.. bes giler. i wasn't arkward at all to tell jokes ke, stories ke, whateverla..it was one hell of an experience to dine at an expensive place with them - sume same je, i tot jadi lebey sopan..but xde pon,same je cam having lunch kat blakang gerai tuh,hehe.

hmm, thanks to mr suffian to pay for the lunch (my tepanyaki was 45 bucks tho,hehe) - the bill for the 6 of us was like 300bucks kot, he signed using his mastercard (platinum tuh,pheewit)..we all had a great time just now..cheers~

internSHITT

i really hate this INTERSHITT thingy..the first four months were damn boring, altho i had quite a job to do, and learned a lot of new stuffs, my life sucks.. another 4months to go. u see, during last semester's final exam - pressured and bored too, and we all wanted this intern so much. at the end, internship became internSHITT. that's why i came up with another equation :

sangap + fia + malas nak wat keje + letey + trase nak men game and tgk movies + statically positioned

= bloggerz + chattaz

ok, so beware engine guys, for those yg over excited to enter this so-called glamorous - no test - no lectures - no exams - no study world. im sure you'll be dead meat in only 4hours of the debut on your first day.dead boring as hell. anyway, afterwards i'll be shooting off to utp with brothers! see u floyderz.. trow gonna be the best match ever in 3yrs of utp league. floyd shohrat vs international student! bring em on..

  • then, continued downloading more stuffs from the net. over the weekend, i've downloaded 2gbs of music,clips and some more clips (ranging from hot rod, qotsa, radiohead, kasabian, keane, and sylvia as well, ehem ehem)
  • di samping menjadi pendonlod yg hebat, i watched the o.c. season 1 (now kat epside time new year..so, dah jadi cam pa, ulang2 oc.. maybe bcoz oth,yakitate and bleach tgh rest..)
  • slept at 230 am.. zzzZZZzzz - didn't manage to recall what did i dream of (but bkn blue a)
  • just by radiohead played on my hp (alarm clock buddy)
  • guess what - pressed snooze, hehe till 830am
  • woke up and took a quick shower - routine in the toilet was the same.. put some colgate toothpaste onto my oralb toothbrush and start brushing bebeh (bkn keep on shinin bebeh k huda?), washed my face with my cleanser (ni rahsie brand ape..wakaka) and put number5 on the water heater and took a bath. wah,there was a new shower foam but xbes coz it was dettol. (nak cite ni.. api used nana's feminine hygiene soap kat badan - he tot it was normal soap..damn funny).
  • got ready in a mere 5minutes - wore my brown dockers khakis, light purple shirt, A LOT of gel (nak wat kakashi kan) . opened the gate (2minutes of runnin the engine and blasted off to serdang -it was 855am)
  • route wasn't jam and got to office by 950am. on the way, i listened to hitz mornin crew (sorry for radio4 lovers, but i couldn't stop laughin at jj n rudy)

the mystery of WIKEV GOOT

one year, one month, and 16 days i've been apart from wikev goot or wkv 6007, my lovely gold wira..haha, been stolen by some shit ass known as muhamad syed (maybe yes) - say it clearly wikk-kevv..okay jaja? demm that man (if btolla muhamad syed), stole my car, lenjan it and campak the car somewhere in cheras. i got this letter from the police station last thursday and was in shock when they claimed that my car was there. but the car was like a piece of shit with 4 tyres without rims, or even caps. i went to balai polis bt 9 at about 930am and there was my car - not sibimio my ex-car..haha. the car was in a horrible condition. the wheel caps and rims were gone - goodbye to my 15inch alloy rims and my super v-shaped bunge yg high, kan poi? the colour was still gold. but there were a lot of dents and scratches. the rear lights were broken.

inside, wow.. nothing left!! my leather seats magically transformed into normal boring seats. the car was filthy tho. the meter was gone (oang kjg-cheras mmg suke meter ek poi..ley tolak kt dak kedah ke yg nak kan?), the cd player (radio) - of course, the aircond, the small stupid light (the one that will nyale when ur door is open) - ni pon nak sebat. the mirror inside the car (rear mirror), and even the gear was lost. whoa! amazingly, the was a helmet at the back seat.. rempitons! and even the spare tyre was gone - gle miserable pencurik ni, nak duit u can ask me for more money laa.. miskin ngat ke.. son of a bitch! moreover, the doorpanels were all gone (again, desperatew for money!). other than that, my belongings - surely la,dah a year plus. ok, at the end there were like number of receipts in the car owned by mr muhamad syed. the receipts were stated he was at genting a few times, keramat au, batang kali and gombak.. naseb xde melake mmq..hahaha.

so, at the end, the ownership of wikev goot was transferred to my insurance agnecy, so that was the last time i saw him - still rindu that car.. just got him for 6months. whatever it is, i'll take good care of my sibimio - sibimio harge bakk kot, menang treasure hunt.. go treasure hunters!! haha.. wafa mmq, jum carik that guy.. moge2 my ambition in frensternye profile will be granted!! - nak sipak pencurik kete,haha.. WIKEV GOOT aka wkv 6007.

pa..since u like this pic so much, there u go..

non - halal??

people talked and discussed about non halal food for a while since the sausage thingy.. so, i just have some intention here, good ones. firstly, don't eat mi kari babi coz it's jelas as it serves its name - mi kari babi - konfem ade babi..but eventually we did not know precisely so mmq do ur job k in asking the oldman bout the mee that we engraved so much..haha. but this is more important. to brothers and friends yg kuat berjudi lucky ball kat wooley.. beware of maggi kari highba bcoz ade sausage wakakaka..and sausage = haram except yg halal la god knows which one. okla just messing things up, cholos - baka shiam.. chow guys.. --whoa, 4 posts in a day is dreadfully showing the signs of "boringness" in the office. i'm not a boring guy, but i'm bored k? it's two different things.. then sori bout the ambigrams, it seemed like byk pembangkang wakaka..
-beware of the non original ciplak halal symbol,hehe

the moorthy a/l sinniah semban

hah! a prominent name for semestarian, no need to introduce moorthy at all (spelled out his name with great rekaan and malas pikir, moreover sinniah semban is definitely not his father's name, but my gurubesar back in primary school). what had moorthy done to us that every single student that came accross the border of semesta, or sains raub or like the raubians pronounce it - 'semeste' .. as in 'se' like 'sekolah', 'mes' as in 'mesti', and 'te' like 'teman'.. hahaha!! ko jg men men fazrey(n) (u have to mimic kalai's voice k - wafa sure tau!).. moorhty was a decent man, i have seen him, in fact we have all seen him doing his 'job' that you know what (wah, cam harrypotter lak).

so, everyday when the girls threw their pads - hhoho, sensitip x? not the shin pads or shoulder pads, but paham2la and when guys threw bekas sabun(what the heck those guys have been doing with soap inside the jamban oftenly) in the toilet bowls..and also when there were shampoo bottles, cigarette packs, and other stuffs like panties and underwears( not included muha's joe boxer).. MOORTHY will come to the rescue!

maybe many knew what he was doing but how he did it?maybe nope.. u know, this moorthy guy was a decent man, he got thousands from our mohamed yahya just to scuba dive in the sewers of semesta - yikes! but it was the truth. every month, when the pengetua called him, he'll come to school and, he'll then take off his clothes and jump into the sea of faeces to be unrude or shit to be impolite also known as taik - or teeos's fave biological waste. he dived in the sewer and find fot those things that were thrown inside the toilet bowl and made the pipe system kaput. or to be simple, bg lubang jamban sumbat and sume salur2 air kt skola. thanx guys and gals to throw those stuffs, without u guys or without us, macamana azim mau makan, eh camner moorthy mau carik makan..hehe, he'll be damn bored swimming in lata lembik or lata jarum. sewer of semesta would definitely be more fun and exciting.

that's the story of moorthy, the most efficient worker in semesta back in those days. for now, i don't know whether he is still working or he is already a millionairre or even i don't know if he's dead or what.. haha, nvm bout at - thanx moorthy.. haha - haselje blog ni, damn bored and my sv just called to see her with all my work and stuffs..damn~

ambigrammerzzz

thanx to jaja for the term ambigrammerzz..haha.. ambigrams are actually words written in a special way of course, and can be read in at least two different ways. usually, it can be read upside down (180 degrees rotation).. after finish reading angels and demons, i found out that ambigrams are very unique and wonderful.. not much to mumble and babble about but these are the few examples of ambigrams from a very creative artist, john langdon. he created all the ambigrams for dan and dan used his name as the 'hero' for angels and demons, and da vinci's code - robert langdon. (eventually there are a lot more ambigrams available but i don't want to spoil the thrill if one of u guys want to read the novel..)


-these one shows angels & demons and if u turn the picture (by urself) u still get angels and demons


-this one is quite interesting.. anyone got it? david slavitt >no need to turn, it's two words in one



-the illuminati - an anti church cult group (u can read this one upside down too)




-with a little imagination, flip the picture - true become false

parisian - part 9

sorry guys fir the delay, quite busy last week with java codings..again. so, today i got the spare time to continue..

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

after completing the disneyland park tour, we continued our journey to the disney studios. it was about 3pm so we got a mere 4hours to finish buzzing around at the studios, maybe it was enough. because we bought a 2-park entry ticket, we just have to flash our ticket at the guras here - easy huh?!so, walking pass the entrance, there stood the first building, more like the main building of the disney studios. from a distance, there was this mickeymouse shaped water tank, it was nice. we walked inside the building, there was a lot of people tho, and there was this live band playing music, coffee shops, beautiful ones, a HUGE souvenir shop (in disneyland and studios, there were a lot of shops,mainly the same..tp byk gle a), and also a cinema, the design was retro but amazing. so, the magic wasn't there yet, it was just some sort of introduction to the magical world of disney..(ayat agak poyo)




the map of disney studios indicated that, the park was a little bit of messy, huge boxes (or containers) lying around everywhere..about 8 of em i guess. each box , probably more suitable to call them buildings ride?.. ok then, each building has its own theme like studio 1 - history of disneychannel, studio 2 - magical world of disney, studio 3 - armageddon , studio 4 - rock n roll and the list goes on bla bla bla.. ok the nice part was the there were also rides in here - haha, i told ya i'll be more than excited when i hear the word 'rides'. so, we browsed in and headed to the first studio. damn i needed a seat - feet hurts so much! so we decided to go to this so called history of mickey. inside was all the history about mickey mouse, how and when he was created. even his earliest cartoons were there - on flips of paper ( u know, the early cartoon.. that people flip papers and it will be like moving drawings) - steamboat willie and plane crazy. it has been a really long time mickey mouse lived in this world, since 1928 till 2005 - one of a hell damn old fart, hehe. ok, we jolted around the area and after finishing the presentation (it was not really nice coz the man in front spoke french, we had to put earphones and press number 2 from english,haha) we went straight to the other buildings.

the was also a tour in this building that explained all the functions and all the work that were being processed in a real life disney studio - how the cartoons were chosen, which one goes on air bla bla bla.. it ws boring tho, but i had the opportunity to sit down, so it was mesmerizing. we went to the stage show or stunt show. i wondered how nice it could be. so we went straight and the show was at 430 pm. we were rite on time. it was about this car thingy, stunt acts and so. we went inside, it was a huge place, like a stadium (half of it) and the stage or the scene was rite on front of us. it was well prepared, the road was flushed with water, there were buildings and stuffs. so, the mc was like calling a dozen of spectators to take part in the act and they had to do this funny interviews like shout,scream,and other stuffs - quite interesting for an opening act. and after 15minutes the show begins. sounds of the car could be heard loudly, there were about 6 of of them, and suddenly they roared out of nowhere - turning fast, spinning recklessly, and speeding out of control - awesome! the guys were amazing, it was like they could drive with their eyes closed. one of the guy, drove reversely and make fast turns into alleys (they got small alleys made from the buildings of the backdrop or scene or whatever~).. i really couldn's explain completely but it was soo damn cool! the demonstrator really made it like a scene from a movie. but the funniest part was that when the spectators (that were asked just now to help) had to act like they were running away from the streets when the stuntmen entered the scene. they ran like hell and it was funny.by the way for promotion, the used OPEL cars..hehe and bikes too.




after the show, i saw this rock n roll ride - it said that it was a roller coaster, but the was only this huge building (cam gudang futsal but bigger) - so i tot it was like a simulator or something. i just ignored and queued up. hm, the show before the ride was fantastic - there was aerosmith in a music studio planning to create this disastrous (did i got this rite?) and powerful and scary and awesome roller coaster. apart from that, there were a lot of instruments like guitars, drums, basses, kompangs,trumpets,saxes and so on autographed by varius cool rock artists like aerosmith,metallica,darkness,radiohead and pink floyd. it really aroused me,heh. the ride begins - it was dark, so i could not see what would happen. i took it with api, so we just waited the sound of the machine like, 3..2..1.. blast off!! we went straight ahead with full speed that i could feel my stomach was left behind (u see, always we'll feel that when we are going pass a steep fall on a rollercoaster, but this is actually bossting u forward so fast that u feel it too). and suddenly it went up for a loop and another loop and another loop and another, wow it was amazing, without steep falls.. the ride was in complete darkness with some old rock song at your ears, it was only loops and steep turns - it was really awesome..one of the best rides i've ever been thru. so, immediately after taking the dizzy ride, i took it again and again foir 4times until my parents dah meluat. haha..

so we moved on to this so called armageddon ride. the line was so long and we waited for about 20minutes to get in. it was like standing in some part of a spaceship. it was fine, the captain was talking and suddenly there was this emergency alarm and wow, the ship went out of light.. smoke coming from everywhere, the spaceship rocked like hell.. there was also fire coming from certain areas - i mean large ones, panas gile lak tuh..then water sprinkling - wow it was quite real. then, the simulation finished..one of a kind!

after completing about 3 hours plus at the studios, we decided to get the hell out of there but before that, as usual, we lepak for a while at the souvenir shop - mmq n alan's beer punt were being bought here..nice!!then we moved straight to the last spot that was the disney village - it was nothing tho, just another few souvenir shops, cafes, hotels, a huge cinema that had this advert that showed 'mon beau-pere mes parents at moi'..guess what - meet the fockers,haha...and planet hollywood was here too.. so we hung around till 8pm ++ and got back to the hotel with great exhaustion.. one hell of a day!



- the end -

P.D.G. t.t.g.

imMOBILizer

yesterday was damn hell.. i wanted to go back early, liverpool vs blackburn match was played so i needed to rest enough to wake up at 4am, so i packed all my stuffs, closed down the office; normal thing to do, shut down the servers, airconds, lights bla2..lock everything up. the last to go were faisal and i. faisal is my officemate so we shot off together. eventually we used the same route. serdang-puchong-usj via ldp. i would follow that route to hicom and changed route via kesas to klang and faisal would take the elite highway to kg mlayu subang.

i was happy that i could get back home, gonna click on a few winning 11 games, and go to bed at 930 maybe. but after the first 1ringgit toll, demm, i saw a numerous numbers of red lights from the cars' taillights. argh, people were breaking and this meant trouble - TRAFFIC JAM. i really hated the ldp if there were jams. it would affect the whole stretch of it. such uneffective idea from the dumbass engineers. so, i drove with my cacatarion feet and after about 45 minutes of jam(usually i could get home by that amount of time but i was just moving for approximately 5 kilos maybe). faisal magically was in front of me, he laughed and gave me a call. he invited me to lepak at one of the petrol pumps along the highway. there was a mobil there.

that was the first time i stopped at mobil. we parked our cars the. his charade aura was quite overheated so we decided to rest for a while. the jam was horrible. imagine of cars moving slowly for a distance of 20 kms. it was horrible. so he went and bought two cans of drinks and we talked and burak2 la waiting for the traffic to flow normal sambil shak kok. there was also this indian guy parked beside us, he drove a merc. he came to me and asked, "what happened aa.. this jalan a mmg stupid bengkang bengkok one. if ade traffic jam, surely trok". so we layaned him for about 10 mins kutuk2 samyvelu, engineers, road planners and sort. haha. remm~

i was immobilized there for about 2hours. 7-9 and it was sucks, altho i had the opportunity to talk a lot, which i preffered the most. but it was hell hot and boring, and i needed the sleep very much. after a while, the traffic was ok.so, at 9 we started our engines and moved towards our destination. the whole damn thing was - apecerit, lpak kat mobil, immobilized fort wo hours bcoz of a massive jam. both of us till today were not sure what caused the traffic jam. but it was such a gay experience - two guys talking fei longing for two hours sblah longkang at a petrol pump.

parisian - part 8

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

we stormed thru the main gate and planned our way through the quite-humangous-park. decided to go anti clockwise. the 'lands' was like circling the main street so if we walk anti clockwise, we could go from one area to another without getting tired, haha. first we went to the discoverland. the rides were quite futuristic here, airplanes, submarines, and stuffs. one thing particular was disneyland created its rides with full of passion and excitement. a dull ride could be exciting with the staffs making up stories before borading them, movie clips etc. it was fun, the decorated the rides perfectly for tourists to enjoy only by having a view of it. we took the simulation ride of star wars, it was quite exciting altho i had gone thru numerous simulation rides, batman, jaws bla2.. xterkire. before the ride, there was this area (the queueing area) full of star wars stars (robots and automated of course), working, talking and so on, the was this huge transporation ship as well (the ship was in star wars movie, didn't recall the name of course), so while queueing for about half an hour or so, i wasn't bored bcoz of looking and amazed by those stuffs, it was really really like the real thing.

then, we passed by the fantasyland and this place was really for kids tho, all those magical colourful rides. the cup, carousels, there was also a brynth, it was nice. the sleeping beauty's castle was also built here. quite boring huh? nevermind. eventually i did not enjoy a lot becuase of the rides. quite frustrating but the scenery was really astonishing. the fantasyland was like being in the cartoons itself, all those characters around u. disneyland was a place really for kids,haha. very different from the one in the states where u have lots n lots of exciting adrenaline rush rides. we walked around and after two 'lands', i was already damn tired. tp byk awex woo haha. we singgah at a cafe and had lunch coz it was already about 12. we only ate tuna sandwich - i didn't know kalo die ltak minyak babi ke,haha..blasahje bontot. then, we continued the journey - two more lands to go!! my feet were damn swelling, painful tho. walking and queuein up..eventually not my style.



the discoveryland - the pirates of the carribean (did i got it rite?) ride did amazed me. the name itself engulfed a very exciting prospect for me to feel enjoyable. on the way towards the pirates there was this huge waterfall and the cave besides it was carved into a skull, there was also a large pirate ship beside it - it was really cool. the ride was amazingly a river ride that cruised form about 10 minutes. inside the small boat, there was also this figures fighting, burning homes - it was like cruising thru a land of the pirates. and we got wet, the boat was sometimes swerving and going fast, there was also a slide or slope .. argh paham2 jela bcoz bakaq timetu, i got wet.. i was mad.haha.. that ride was exciting altho it did not have loops or downfalls haha.



finally we went to the adventureland and there was the indiana jones ride - it was a damn roller coaster that had loops and steep downfalls - yeay! at last my dream came true - maybe there was a wishing star last nite..heh. so, i was hepi to take that ride altho i had to queue for 45mins. there was also this train - a mine train. another roller coaster that was quite nice too. apparently, 2 hours from the 6 hours spent in disneyland was just actually queueing up, hehe. finally we headed to the main street bcoz there was this parade going on. we had to leave for disney studios after that. the parade was awesome - colourful and couldn't be expressed by words. really amazing. it was like the parade on aladdin - haha poyo x? the main street had a lot of souvenir shops mainly disney items and figures ( mmq alan n gigsi got their stuffs here rite?hehe..). actually around the whole park was full with souvenir shops. so guys, wanna get here, be ready with loads of money..we enjoyed every moment in disneyland - it was a lifetime experience. we then headed to disney studios - a wonderful journey awaits us..

birthday boy hits the net!! floyd stormed to the last 8

Actually I was not at the field. I was not there to celebrate the third consecutive triumph in the UTP League. I was not with my teammates. I hated the moment when I could not be together in joy and agony. Shit! I am a player of Floyd, currently manager la.. hehe, argh.. but my dad was on his way to Abu Dhabi and I had to be with him. So, sorry mates, I promise on april fool day, I’ll be there with u guys! – fei long japs.. (every time people ask bout me, just say that I was red carded by the ref for inappropriate behaviour on the sidelines). Tribute to my best mate, wafa for providing me with all the funny stories etc., let’s the story begins..

Floyd Shohrat managed to be the first team to qualify for the quarter finals in the UTP League after a hot winning streak – 3 games straight and all the opponents were demolished (4-0,6-0,5-1) – no mercy, that was the motto provided by the manager, sir arien zackary, heh, actually I’m quite bored today, so reke cite pelik2 la for koang. The game last Sunday was a superb second half and another commanding performance for wafa that really boosted the confidence of the other team mates – jek jek!

For the first 25 minutes, the earth bound’s defence line was really hard to break through but resulted from a corner kick taken by wafa himself (he did not start as a striker but rather enjoyed the freedom on right wing), aliy was the first who reacted to poke an easy in swing corner. As usual, aliy will score in every game – beware fantasy football contestants , make sure he is in your team. Before wafa took the corner the defender shouted, “jage2, bola dieni lengkung” – remm. The first half was controlled easily by the 5-man-midfield poised by the floyderz – aliy,pen n matyie holding in the middle of the park and nizaz and wafa as wingers (ade tiru celsi sket ni). But on the 44th minute, acap the “incredible black hulk” made fun on an easy low cross by the winger of the opponent. He dived forward (cam terbang sambil meniarap a) to catch the harmless cross but eventually he missed and redirected the ball to the goal. 1-1. More like an own goal to me – tula nak tayang powerlatuh baru kene attack sepam xbahaye..kan dah kene! So the first half ended 1-1.

During the second half, the floyd supporters sang the supporters song to increase the tempo and make the game livelier (ni tokok bakk).. they demanded more from the team, and they got it rite after that. Bcoz the defender alwiz shouted “bola lengkung” wafa took another corner kick and this time xde lengkung2 nye, he shot straight at the goal keeper. The goalie flipped the ball with his fingers and voilla, the ball went straight to the far post. Pendek the birthday boy (he was 13 yrs old on that day), made a super half volley from the tipped cross and the crowd roared. “To score was the best birthday present for me”, he said. Floyd was 2-1 up and right after that wafa again dribbled the ball and made a wonderful shot to the goal, the last man was so spirit to be the hero and he misjudged and headed the ball to the back of his own net. And suddenly the game was leaning towards floyd.

The dominated the game rite to the end. It was time and supersub sudin was introduced. Nizaz brought the ball to the right, bwg shouted, “nizaz, cross!”. Nizaz hit a low cross and amazingly bawang’s first touch was magic. He backheeled the ball and the ball went in across the line – leleh bak! Another 25 minutes to go and floyd hungered for more goals. This time, the last man (yg poyo tuh) wanted to be the hero, he dribbled and plunged forward with great speed and ambition. “ya allah, tejauh plak!”. What happened? He knew he made a mistake – he handed possession to wafa. Wafa took the ball and kicked it directly to the keeper, the keeper tried to safe but he fumbled and nizaz stormed through, dummied the keeper and resulted an open goal, u know what happened next right – 5-1 to floyd shohrat!

Twenty minutes to go, the rain started to fall quite heavily and giggsy was coming in. after he ran to the pitch. Kesian gigsi. The ref stopped the play – for safety reasons (there were byk kilat and the pitch was not good). So, twenty more minutes and we were leading 5-1. if the ref was not lenient and xkesian towards the earth bound players, surely we should have won by a bigger margin – 26-1 maybe. Another victorious day for floyd shohrat. The next opponent will be the international student – a group stage final, sort of.

parisian - part 7

hehe..sorry for the delay guys, it seemed time has restricted me from blogging, maybe not timela but my laziness. it's the ultimate art of NOT completing your work. and after a 5-day break, i'll continue with parisian part 7. during the weekend, i was also busy - hanging out with my family and huda for sure (sdarians - take note), lepak for an hour ngn shiham n apid.. then the mengwinning la.. i did also read angels and demons. sajeje bcoz ramai ckp bes. actually lagging la coz people read that book ages ago, but what the hell.. sukehatiakula nak bace bile..haha, rite guys?

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

apparently, the time flew really fast, after just three memorable and amazing days in paris (altho i did not write parisian for a week tho - u guys dunla forward the time in paris plak mcm - x phm ek?xpe.. abaikan. hasel je ni). it was already wednesday (9-2-05)..

today was going to be another shot in our lives - we're going to DISNEYLAND!! eventually, the main reason made me happy going to paris was disneyland, but after 2 days visiting the historical monuments, places etc. wow! that mesmerized me even more than disneyland. i'm a guy who like adrenaline rushes through my brain, it's like better than sex - just kiddin on this part k? huda? hahaha.. ok, kidding kidding.. so, adventure rides really make me feel wonderful, i love those stuffs - xcayer? tanyer shiham ke giggsy ke..hehe. so, i was eagerly waiting for wonderful loops on the roller coaster, log rides that was high enough to make people puke only by seeing it from below, lightening speed rides, or any other rides that was scary and rated "A". so, we woke up really early - to complete a disneyland tour would be like two datsys in the states, so we assumed a day would be enough here (it was a smaller version of disneyland rite). so, 630am - it was already quite late in paris - bcoz the sun was out. so, we had breakfast and after getting prepared, shot off to cour st emillion (the metro station at bercy).

the disneyland ticket was 50 euros (approx. 250 ringgit) and we could access both disneyland and disney studios. we already knew the prices as the pamphlets of disneyland were like - everywhere. so, took the metro to the main station in paris so that we could change trains. after metro, we had to take a mer - it was like commuter la in msia. one thing that was amazing in the main train station was there was this huge vending machine, built directly to the wall, had tonnes of food and water and rubbish in it, people can even use credit card to buy.. cmon man, credit cards for mineral water?chocolate? quite rubbish but it was huge guys.

after that we continued with the mer and after a 30minute commuter ride, we ended up in disneyland - i did not remember the station's name, but the map wrote "disneyland" at the stop. disneyland was damn beautiful, altho it was still early - about 930am, there were already tonnes of people queueing up for tickets, we did our part too in making other other people think that there were many people queueing up by also queueing up, hehe..it was cold that day, we were all freezing - my lilbro said it was normal to be cold on a wednesday (i just started to believe, where the hell he discovered that? maybe another tourist guide page on the net, who cares). after having the tickets, we walked straight to the main gate of disneyland. disneyland and disney studios were two different parks but were built face to face. there was also a disney village around there and the admission was free. it was like a fantasy being in disneyland - cam disney channel kanak2 riang - everything is (was) magic!!

we went straight in thru the gates, walked and wow! beautiful, there was this castle (just did not know whether it was a sleeping beauty nye castle or just a damn mickeymouse castle, shrek ke.. i dunno), fountains, shops, rides, people on costumes, it was colourful, very colourful indeed. in front of us was this beutiful train station and a lot of shops - souvenirs and other stuffs. it was a straight long road towards the end (there was another castle at the end here). there were many people hanging out here tho. we got the park map and planned our way thru, looked like a large one to discover - 10 hours left, 2 parks to go.the clock was ticking.. tick..tick..tick..



disneyland itself was divided into many parts - the main street, frontierland, discoveryland, fantasyland, and the adventure land. each land or part has its own rides and themes. main street u.s.a. was the long road with shops i mentioned before, all the gatherings or parade will be held here. frontierland had all the cowboyish rides, adventureland was also some sort of adventure land - duh~.. all these railroads and mine rides etc. discoveryland had more of futuristic rides and lastly fantasyland served its name (the sleeping beauty castle is here). so, there was an overview of disneyland paris and want to know more in detail? u will definitely get it in parisian part 8.

haloooooo..wow it was quite a busy week - for me it was busy la, for others like wafa mmq yg sentiase bz sorila sbb bakaq la kan.. i got a few things to settle and i desperately said that i'm busy.. but xley bloggerz sgt. the time is ticking very fast and i got this stupid java codings to settle, not creating them but to understand how it works. it's not the same as what i've learnt before because ejb's and ejc's are way too complicated.. nvm bout that but i really want to go to utp, miss the floyderz a lot but eventually, my dad's gonna leave for abu dhabi this monday morning and i have to be at home, of course - xnak jadi derhake..hehe. so u guys enjoy urselves and have a good game - keep on winning baby..haha.

cruising..and cruising..

wow,such an amazing nite at bay arena. everyone really said that liverpool had little chance to get through but amazingly,they did! pundits around the globe expected liverpool to get theirselves behind the ball and defend to stop bayer to get a 2 goal deficit but liverpool attacked from the start till the end. yes, bayer was without a number of their main players, but that goes the same to liverpool - with injury woes all season long! so credit to rafa's men to play well home and away. u see, leverkusen is such a very strong side at home, beating real n roma 3-0 respectively.

gerrard strolled forward really well yesterday, supplying superb passes to the super rajin baros that once, his clear penalty appeal was denied by the french ref. but garcia was the hero at bay arena by flicking gerrard's cross beautifully in the 27th minute. biscan's header (resulted from gerrard's corner)was flicked again by garcia and butt was clearly outplayed with the goal. 2-0 and everything was bright for lfc and dark for leverkusen. in front of 21,000 of their home crowd, to score 5 goals in an hour was surely impossible. in the second half, baros got his goal to add the tally of 13 goals this season - lfc's top scorer. and for the final episode, bayer managed to get a consolation goal that was not celebrated - duh~.

so, liverpool managed to cruise to the final 8. sigh, everyone was telling liverpool won't make it even to the second round and magically their being one of the top eight european clubs this year. congrats to rafa and his men.. bring on any team, will make the kop proud! thanks shankly..

-you will never walk alone-

parisian - part 6

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

ngaaaaaaaa - ni mulut tgh nganga ..to see such an amazing creature in front of us, it was unbelievable. altho a lot of people have rejected the idea of eiffel tower during its early years of life, now nobody will ever of tering down that piece of art from gustave eiffel. do you know why the 300-metre tower is only iron n steel? gustave claimed he had calculated to a near perfection that even a hurricane wouldn't make eiffel fall - it's wind proof! eiffel tower was built in 1889, it was a a complete controversy to build such an enourmous tower with no brick in paris - paris is well known as a city of architecture with carvings,monuments etc. so to have just a tower without bricks, prominent people back then jeered the building as an uncompleted chimney..sort of. the tower was nearly to be torn down but after receiving millions of people every year (the first year saw 2million people - now with the average of 6-10 million annually), parisians started to realize the importance of it, and now it is declared as a valuable heritage to the city of paris. we started to queue up at the east foot. the tower has four 'legs', each one has its own elevator and counter, visitors can choose to go up on the east,west,north or south.



we bought the ticket, it was 10euros each. and just after buying we straight away went thru security and waited at the elevator. it was chill that afternoon but the wheather was inch perfect. we waited there and could see the structure from below, the tower was really huge.. the eiffel in vegas paris is only like half its size here. it felt a little goosebumps - u know, standing under a 300metre tall see-thru tower. moreover, it was 100 years old with just rivets and bolts.actually being in paris itself was always eerie, it was like - whoah, da vinci walked here hundreds years back..and the buildings were all very old and scary. the elevator finally arrived, we were greeted by a french lady that controlled all the buttons at the elevator. i could see a lot of 'beware of pickpocket' signs all over. just ignored it tho. the lift was ascending just a little to the right and we could see the ground from the lift - the tower was see-thru rite.. so, it was a little bit scary. for people who are afraid of height, beware! hehe.. then we stopped at level 2.. the eiffel had 3 levels - 1,2 and of course 3(the highest tip of the tower). each floor holds different ticket prices. we bought the 3level ticket. so we went down at level2, it was really high..paris was so beautiful from the top. the elevator to the top was smaller - the elevator from level 2 to level 3 and the elevator from ground to level 2 is a different elevator.

we walked around and decided to go up to the top. it was packed - the elevator.. a large sum of tourists and visitors were there altho it was winter. but usually during summer, the crowd would be triple or quadraple the size. pheww!! we took the elevator right to the top, the elevator was quite small. but at the top, the area was nost spacious and it was really windy and cold. we walked around the area and could see the whole of paris, a bit hazy but u could see the siene making its way through the city. it was gorgeous. we took some pictures and stayed up there for a while. it was like standing at the top of the world. there was also a room - like a bedroom and also somesort of lab on the top floor. it said that gustave brought his guests and family to stay at the top of the tower occasionaly.



after that we went back to the second floor that had a souvenir shop there. the shop was small but the stuffs in there were quite rare so we took the opportunity to shop and browse. suddenly..nana shouted at me that she was pickpocketed. damn! first worst thing happened. my dad wasn't there,he went walking alone and nana was really panic. what a pity.. she lost all her money which was not that much - about 120euros, 5 credit cards, driving id, ic, bla2... so after dad found out, surely he was damn mad..he's quite paranoid and kept asking us to be safe and careful 24/7. so when this happened, it was like tsunami la..abes kene sembur bakk! so, we did not finish touring on the eiffel, did not buy anything and went straight down to report to the security staffs. they said it was common to be pickpocketed. we lepak for a while below of the eiffel. there was a large area beneath the tower. sat there and nana had to call all her cards' issuing bank to cancel the cards. every was quiet and did not talk much.

we tried to make ourselves happy and walked through champ de mars - a huge park beside eiffel tower. it was beautiful altho it was winter and all the trees was 'botak'. amazingly, the branches were cut in such fashionable way - very creative indeed. the trees were like queueing, planted in a straight line and the branches above were flattened. sort of u can walk above the trees. hard to explain, look at the pic below..hehe. we walked thru that park - 30minutes i think, very long journey.. took a couple of pictures. the eiffel from a distance was astonishing! damn tired that day bcoz of walking actually. at the end of the park there was a military school, just passed by the school and nothing spectacular here.



after a long walk, my legs were very painful. we were all very tired so at the evening, about 530pm we decided to go back to the hotel. i swore my legs were hurting like hell. we did not see eiffel at nite but planned to do that tomorrow - thursday. wow, during the stay for 4 days here, we were always walking here and there, visiting all the places. it was really enjoyable. 2 more days to go in paris. gonna miss this place man! zzzzzzz~ tired and sleepy..nite guys! (wanted to tell what we did today after the trip but particularly the same, went to le marche bought some stuffs to cook, had dinner then fiaba!)

best manager all time??!! - sorry for nonfooty fans

there are many voices around the world that will argue about this topic. every fans of each club will claim that their manager is the best or was the best or will always be the best all time. wolves will never forget how brian clough brought them to european limelight before any english clubs could reach there, alf ramsey guided ipswich from nowhere to the title and also the one and only england world cup success, everton's harry catterick, arsenal's wenger and chapman, these are all class managers and brought their own unique success to their clubs. but what will always be the main argument is two most rival english clubs all time..or maybe,ever! liverpool and man utd. (sorry to chelsea fans, ur time hasn't arrived yet.. hopefully roman can pump money for the next 20years and mourinho can be in the list,hehe)

so the four most extraordinary managers existed all time were bill shankly,bob paisley, sir matt busby and sir alex feguson. two from liverpool and two from man utd. if we would compare these managers for silverwares, surely ferguson and paisley would be in consideration, but if we compared for passion,love of the club,loyalty,emotion, prejudice, partisanship and pride - sir matt and shankly will definitely come above. i got the facts and figures already and u guys can think of urself.

busby was always the father of all managers all time. without him, there will be no shankly,no ferguson, no paisley, no stein - everyone made him as their mentor. he planted the seeds to make man utd one of the greatest team in the world. his success was huge, really huge! having busby babes in his team, dennis law, duncan edwards, bobby charlton, george best. he craved success from scrap. the best part is, busby was a player and assistant manager at anfield when he signed a contract with man utd for the manager's post. In the space of 23 years at United, Busby built a new stadium and succeded with 8 trophies. sir matt busby will always be remembered as one of the greatest managers all time, without him maybe there would be no man utd today!

shankly on the other hand went to liverpool on the 50's era (dark age for liverpudlians).. they were relegated for to second division and there came shankly from huddersfield (where he granted a debut to 16year-old dennis law). he, with the help of paisley and fagan slowly rebuilt the team. after a few years, liverpool started to show its true credibility with success after success in leagues and cups. the 60's and 70's were the moment of uprise for lfc by shankly. roger hunt, kevin keegan, callaghan. the shankly era, quite similiar to busby, cannot be calculated by mere mathematics but people believe their greatness. shanks shockingly resigned at the age of 60 and demanded for the board to give his assistant, paisley the manager's hotseat. fortunately, the board followed. shanks got 9 trophies in 15 years but the best part was he revived the dying liverpool - from dull to excellent, from 2nd division to top flight, from incertainty to passion, from a bullied team to a fortress, from nothing to liverpool football club.

ferguson is undeniable as the greatest english manager in the modern day. he won so many titles and cups that he himself could not remember how many. Ferguson has amassed a staggering 27 cups in 29 years of management. one of a kind, admired as a brilliant tactician and one of the most prominent personalities in scotland. his ability to scout player and evolving then to superstars is one of a kind - shmeichel,cantona,beckham,giggs,nevilles and keane.he won 9 titles with aberdeen and 18 with united including 8 league championships, numerous fa cups and league cups and a never-to-forget 2-1 european cup victory over bayern munich in 1999.

paisley that got his job directly from shankly won 15 cups in 9 years, 6 of them were championships several fa cups and league cups,and a 3 wonderful european cups success - 1977,1978,1981; the moment that the kops were branded untouchables by everyone (not including 5charity shields). with faces like keegan, dalglish - the king of kop, emlyn hughes, rush, heighway,mcdermott, hansen, souness and the kennedies, they dominated not only england but also europe. after 9 years, he also stated publicly to resign and the last year of his reign, the fellow kops granted him another glorious championship success.

On the plus side for Ferguson we could say: He's won 27 cups to date, 12 more than Paisley;
He did it with 2 different clubs, both north and south of the border;
His starting point at Aberdeen and at Manchester United was far lower than Paisley's at Liverpool;

On the plus side for Bob Paisley we could say: His trophy wins per year average is far greater than Ferguson's. He won the European Cup three times;
He never had the advantage of managing the world's richest club;
Liverpool's starting point when he took over was so high partly because of the groundwork Paisley had himself done in the boot room;
Bob Paisley's favour is the legacy of success he left behind him at Anfield. The following season after his departure, Joe Fagan guided Liverpool to the first treble in their history with a side largely fashioned under Paisley.

paisley and ferguson could boast their abilities in winning trophies but what is actually a great manager? We come back to the inescapable conclusion that hard facts and statistics alone cannot win this sort of argument. Both men managed different clubs in different circumstances. They both started out in management in 1974, clashed briefly in that European Cup tie in 1980, but clearly have not run parallel managerial careers. Any statistical comparison is therefore unscientific and flawed from the word go. We come back to the gut feelings, the individual loyalties of the respective fans. Incredibly, both of these clubs can boast another worthy candidate each to the title of greatest ever manager. Shankly's great adversary for many years was United's Sir Matt Busby, and many would regard Sir Matt and Shanks as greater than Sir Alex and Bob.

sigh, some stuff i wrote here, don't worry. it's not in the exams, just tried to share with u guys the tots that i had for such a long time indeed. for non-soccermaniacs, soory for the post..hehe, sure u guys busan bakk nak bace this story. then sorry for all devils, my facts are more on liverpool's manager coz ilmu byk sket..hehe

parisian - part 5

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

eiffel,here we come!! (8-2-05)
"happy birthday!!!', the 8th was my lis sis's bday(nani)..altho it was her bday everyone seemed to more excited getting to eiffel, too bad..hehe. anyway she asked daddy for a new hp since hers dah rosak before leaving to paris (she got one day before yesterday - a sony ericson plak tuh). so, as usual we woke up and had breakfast. we woke up quite late actually, i was the last to wake up bcoz last nite i watched football on tv. u know this french maniac tv producers will only show football macthes that have french players for either side of the team - sucks! like watching the french league oftenly on french tv was sucks but watching 24-7 arsenal on the highlites was 5 times sucker..last nite was the game between france and sweden, it ended 1-1. i slept late and woke up at about 1030am..we got ready and headed to cour st emillion - the train station i mentioned before.

before leaving for the train, i grabbed my phone card (forgot to mention but i bought it for 15euros yesterday..amazingly i could be used for only 5minutes tho - damn expensive) and called huda for 30seconds..the numbers were descending fastly ..100..99..98..97..96! then i finished talking and hung up. my elder sis was also calling asri .. those were the thing we did together every morning and evening..we went through the ticket machine, or collecter or barrier..ntah la,that things that seduts the ticket haha..then going down the escalators to the metro subway platform. the amazing thing about these trains is passengers must open the doors their own to go in and out the train..so if we are not used to the train, we'll be waiting like forever for the doors to open magically.

after 30minutes train ride (the route to eiffel was the busiest route - bcoz eiffel is like the main part of paris), we ended up at the metro station that was 10minutes walking distance to the eiffel itself. we were all very happy - first time to see eiffel live beneath our eyes (hoih,btol ke ayat ni..who cares). walked along the siene river towards eiffel, we were mesmerized by the beauty of the eiffel. it was like exactly the line in the song by Franki Valli - can't take my eyes off you..walking ahead but eyes was all over eiffel,as if it was a beautiful woman,huhu..but of course we looked at eiffel when we were stopping,if not camnerla kitrang crossed the road. xkan ltopje kot.. river seine was one of the wonders of paris too. it was very long indeed, tearing paris apart into two, left bank and right bank(wanted to tell a lot but i'll cotinue about siene on my next journey,hehe - stay tune folks). there was a lot of souvenir stalls and one of the stalls was quite cheap - we could already perform "the price budgeting" (bcoz we already visited like hundreds souvenir shops so we knew the prices right from keychains to frames,tshirts etc.). the owner then swiftly asked, "are you from malaysia?". we said yes and astonishingly he said, "slamat datang..ini gerai jalanan sahaja tp harge murah".. haha,we laughed actually but it seemed malaysia is not that bad in the eyes of the world - so be proud guys! we bought some keychains and stuffs from there and after a few minutes walk. there it stood tall and proud - THE EIFFEL TOWER.

red giants..haha

today is sunday, yesterday we had a wonderful dinner at cable car sunway. had a wonderful meal - steak combo. a combination of tendy sizzling steak - had it well done and also two large riger prawns with some chips and corn.. yeah, one of my fave dish there. everyone had their own meal, nana with her blackpepper steak, api n nani also had soup, baked potato skin and steak themselves. dad ate garlic steak - weird huh? and mom had lamb chop. that's the dinner put, the outrageous part was.. huda,asri and hafizah were there too. ie seemed like dad planned a dinner with all our balaks and aweks la..ehem ehem..wakak, cuak igt nak soh kawen..haha.. so, we had a very good time altho huda and hafizah(awek api) seemed to be a little shy. asri dah slalu join us for makan2..so he talked quite a lot and looked relaxed. ok end of story.

after sending huda back to bkt bruntung, i went straight to 11a. before that had the hassle to collect ake (haha,collect) at b.t.selatan. so, went there and watched mu drew with palace, my stupid liverpool lost to robert's wonder goal and then real madrid was held by valencia - go aimar! after wathcing a so-called-soccer-marathon-with teh o ais and playing around with a braille card that costs us rm1..haha (mahal tuh), we went back stret to 11a(ni umah wafa if u guys xtau..his keramat developer maybe was so supertitious about stuffs like number 13..so dptla 11a..hahaha.. cian wafa, so attention to programmers, when u want to create a textbox for address, dun forget to include char as well,kalo x kesian wafa xley isik.. (lawak progreming).. then we watched spanglish dvd cetak rompak bakk - kalo this blog is being read by kementerian, u r finished wafa - one of the most active member of the pembelidvdcetakrompak gang (wanted by fbi).. spabglish was not that funny but was more to a romantic comedy.. hottie ba siud florrrrrrrrrrr.. haha..

the next morning that was sunday (tadi la).. i woke up at 4pm, had lunch with ake kat dapur 11a, thx la masak nasik hehe.. watched yakitate japan!! - ake now you believe that yakitate is far more superior than your lame champloo haha.. at 6pm my sis called me - there was another dinner at 8 - at shah alam. so at 715 sharp i shot of to shah alam via federal highway. immediately after subang intersection, i started to see red lights, red bright ones, hundreds..maybe thousands in front of me..damn! traffic jam.. it was about 300metres or even worse from the subang toll plaza.. the time was 740..shit i said to myself..kaki dah nak cacat time tuh lenguh bakk..but i forced myself n drove slowly..akhirnye 40minutes after that sampaila kt toll..paid rm1.10 and drove to shah alam. the traffic was quite heavy, didn't know why. then i arrived at kayangan ron board (spelling mak gad kat utp,kan pa??wakakakaka..) still traffic jam. i was damn mad that time suddenly bykla this mat rempit mencelah2 with their superbikes, wearing slangor nye thisrts, bringing flags and so on. so, actually there was a soccer game tadi kt stadium shah alam. the interesting part is...

PRESENTING THE TYPICAL MALAYSIAN FOOTBALL FANS!!!

last season, stadium shah alam was alwiz empty despite sgor playing with strong teams like perak or pahang.. this season it was different, bcoz of the first few games they won ala chelsea (4-0,3-0,5-1).. the fans were started packing the stadium. that's the problem with msian supporter. like me, lg bes..i dun support at all..hahah,bcoz of..bcoz of habat sgt the quality..wasting my time and energy je nak support.. it will be more beneficial to support epl teams and floyd shohrat..rite guys??hehe.. ok la that was my point, just nak tell u guys that the sgor red giants is back! the fans are back too..cool huh? - ade jamlus (bkn jamlus pencurik). bambang, aboy(ni pon bkn sharilesmarwanfndnridi) and sapetah lagi buleh la..hehe..

parisian - part 4

pheww.. asek parisian jer..xbaka ke koang,hehe.. tribute to wafa dat asked me to rite more..thx bro..eh thx aweknum2..muah2,wakaka..

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

where was i just now, owh..not that i got lost in paris.. just got lost with my writings eventually.after fleaing (mengutu kot)..we headed south to paris. it was like the first time getting to the city area, it was beautiful, damn beautiful.in my whole life there was no city as lovely as this - n i speaking rite from my heart. but walking aimlessly at the lafayette and printemps was just a tiny part of paris. it seemed that by just walking down the streets of the opera (across lafayette) or boulevard Haussmann (precise) was making me really amused by the artistic architecture of paris (pa-ghi --> tis sort of how they pronounce it) - not yet walking through the whole city but could feel the atmosphere of history. galleries lafayetter was a very very classy and expensive place to shop. for the sake of having the experience of going to lafayette itself - one of the luxurious place in the world, we went in and browsed. one thing im amazed was that perfumes were scattered everywhere. u can just pick one and test them anytime u want. i really think that pengemis tuh sumer dtg cni and test 4 daily usage,hehe.by the way we did stop by at the cafe at the topfloor of lafayette just to get a cup of hot choc. it was like rm20 per cup.demm, we could eat kenny in msia with dat amount or seminggu kat lunch kat ali v3 (oops, ali dah v4 skang..siloff).we bought ourselves some souvenirs here, not expensive onesm just cute keychains,fridge magnets and stuffs. lafayette itself owns 3 bulidings and it's not like midvalley where it's a huge shopping mall. it's more like a 3-building-fashion store.

then, we headed to printemps - just opposite lafayette. it was also huge and expensive. the shirts, ties, shoes are all in the range of 60 euros - 3000euros. convert man! hehe.. it was generally the same for both shops, expensive and a nice place to do window shopping. we were trying to find new batteries for my sis's digicam but paris is really 'history', oudated. their stuffs were like 3years back sold in msia..so, couldn't find one - sigh!. surrounding the area (lafayette and printemps) was many cafes and shops - strictly no souvenir shops here i don't know why. it was all about fashion i guess. but proudly stood the opera of paris across the street of haussmann. we had such an exhausting day..walking of course.. but i really enjoyed walking thru the streets of paris.



after finish shopping the whole day, went back in the evening(before that surely we went to le merche,hehe..). tired and dozed off early.
tomorrow will be a great day for us. planned to visit the motherofparis.theicon.thesymbol.fatherof architecture.iron.iron.steel.steel.screws.nowood.steelagain.iron. - THE EIFFEL TOWER - remember the movie superman, lois fell of the eiffel,haha.. the elevator was sucks back in those days but now its modern and seemed safe - duh~.. the visit to eiffel was such an interesting one but there was something unwanted hapenned to one of us. c u guys trow for the details.

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

we're going shopping!! (7-2-05)..
yawn~today's monday and it was the first weekday we were in paris.. i could see people going to work. french go to work reaslly late u know, it's like what the hell, the sun rises in the east - duh~, the sun rises at 5.30am so by 8 it's supposed to be like 10 or 11 here, but at 10 am, there were still thousands of people at the metro station(metro is not bus stations k?its like a tube or subway - more like lrt) fleeing everywhere to get to their workplaces.so, at about 830am, after a yummy2 breakfast (it was easy to remember what we ate bcoz everyday would be the same tho - eggs..bread.. cornflakes..baked beans - typical malay breakfast in oc (pa bukan orange county ek..haha - tuh citer ko), we straight went down to mr pascal. u remember mr pascal don't u, the french guy working at the receptionist.. i asked him where was the flea market and he tought me how to get there or specifically what stations we needed to excess. (during our 8-day reign in paris, i was some sort of family touristguide..hehe, bcoz aku ni kaki jalan, so i was not scared to roam around the stations and understood the maps and asking the parisianman for directions..hehe. my dad would alwiz be like ,"arien, r u sure?"..haha,it was easy tho..the trains were efficient indeed altho in paris itself they have 3 different huge transportation companies. the metro was the biggest train line, mer was the older version that could get u to the outskirts of paris and the bus was another choice. the metro itself had 14 different lines or routes (so there were many interchanges..every 100metre of walk = one station indeed - no wonder paris xbyk kete sgt).

now i realized.. i did not even start the journey,haha..too much mumbling about the transportation..hehe. ok after getting to the right track, we went strait to cour st emmilion - the nearest metro station from our place - 3minutes of walk maybe. we bought a week pass (u could go to any stations for a week and it costs about 14euros, quite ok) so that it would be easier to travel around. actually, i spotted the pamphlet of the flea market the day before (sunday), and was interestedla - to buy u guys nye souvenir, bajet murahla sane..wakakak.. so, my sibs and i were very excited to get there to get some really good and valueformoney souvenirs. after a 40minutes metro ride to the northern skirts of paris, we finally arrived at the flea market. that was the first day going to the town, or places where there was a lot of people - our town was quite isolated, and small so not many people seemed wandering around. the place was hefty - not a correct usage huh? the place was HUGE. it was like a 5x5km space with mane markets of different sections.. like 15 markets in an area. every market sells different stuffs. there were marche(market rite..) that sold antiques - probably a lot of the markets sold antiques,very expensive ones, and old..of course, books, clothes, souvenirs, apparels, and other unique stuffs. many people were there, so crowded (tp it was interesting, cam 15 ptaling street kat area2 cm tuh..but all selling different stuff.each market had its own area and signboards, ade yg by the road sides and ade gak in buildings, very old,eerie buildings, but it was really awesome.smart a die buat)..we started walking and surveying the stuffs there - perhaps to find the nicest and cheapest one..



so,we spent at the flea market about 3-4 hours, walking around, windowshopping, eh i think there was no window so i'll change the phrase ... browsing (aha!rite one), we bought some souvenirs, keychains, shirts, my mum bought for my grandma a tray, we had a good time there..many of the stuffs i bought were from the flea market..quite cheap but don't ever convert it to msian rm or u'll find it quite out of the way..hehe! sori a kekawan, byk brg dr pasar kutu jer..wakaka, tp bes kan??huhu..while buying the stuffs we used as many french phrases as we could. poeple there do not like english to be used, but as for tourist, it'll be ok..despite of that, it we use french first, they will be more frenly. so, as a guide..ehem2..haha, the first thing my sibs and i usually say is 'bonjour', 'parlez-vous anglais' - pronounced as pa-ley-vu-ong-ley..do you speak english..hehe,and if the guy says yes, we'll continue with primary school english as if - 'give-me-2...this-keychain'..haha, u try and speak to them an sat english level and they'll be like..huh, wut language are u speaking..ehe. so learning basic french was a must back there, thanx to french for dummies..

we had earlier planned to go to the core of paris later, we wanted to go and browse in the exclusiveness of Galeries Lafayette Department Store; built in 1912, the legendary Paris department store. and also Printemps(pghon-tompt);was built lavishly in 1923 with a magnificent stained glass dome, has one of the world's largest perfume selections in the beauty department. so, as the name goes, these two 'giants' were eventually stood side by side in paris, in an area i presume. after finishing our time in the flea market, we fled to the centre of paris..

my feet finally stepped off the huge triple 7 jet. do u know, on board, ur foot will get bigger - it's true..try taking off ur shoes n put it back after landing, surely u'll have a really hard time thinking what the hell is goin on..hehe. charles de gaulle - to hear the name itself was mesmerizing me. but, hell..the airport was like..damn, compared to klia or even subang international, it was probably outclassed, miles of course. a part of that, it's like so ineffiecient and inconvenient. we arrived and was walking thru the customs (camnie ke eje kastam wakaka), there were only two of them opened, and 300 passengers trying to pass one by one. really exhausting, after a jetlagging tiring flight, certainly i expected more than being in a queue for half an hour just to get ur passport getting stamped. imagine to have puffed bed with pillows, argh..my leg hurts already. waiting and waiting, having small steps in the queue. finally! at last, greeted the man in jacket(the officer of course) with a little french that i learnt on board. "bonjour" - means good day or good morning i guess. on board, my lilbro got this book french for dummies, sounds poyo but it helped a lot during the week in paris.. i got the stamp from the officer and yeay, finally out of the hall. we then collected our bags at the luggage collecting area. in cdg, people can smoke everywhere they want.. quite funny compared to msia but it's sort of their culture.. the airport was sucks, but they got this 400metre walkalator - one of a kind. it was sooo long, passed like small hills, bumps i guess. and the walkalator will ascend and descend too. it was 5am in the morning , paris is +0200 from greenwich( u know the small town in london) and msia is +0800 so we saved like 6hours ..11pm in msia and arrived about 5am in paris.

we have already booked a place in bercy, it was a small nice town - it's like the uptown of paris tho. very cozy and not that busy. so, after renting a huge cab - we could only find a cab that could carry 6large suitcases after an hour of searching..we went straight to the apartment. the name was something like travel bla2..i couldn't remember. but it ws in front of nikko bercy. huh, another thing, it was damn cold outside, 1 deg celcius..not snowing but particularly cool (tribute friday nite -the darkness,heh)..not cool but freezizng cold actually..hehe..bercy was about 40minutes drive from cdg - macam klang-kl la..wakakaka..i was so tired actually. but was so excited to see the view while in the cab, so i widen my eyes a lil bit. we arrived the aprtment, my parenz rented 2 units of it..it was quite big, with 2 single beds and a double bed inside, with a kitchen too..and a dining table. so. me n my bro n my parenz stayed in one, my sisters and my aunt stayed in another..the receptionist was frenly, damn i will not forget mr pascal..with his english with the french accent..haha, quite funny but he helped us with everything he could, directions, phamplets and so on.

after resting for an hour and settled things, we went for a short walk to the town of bercy. it was windy and cold but after a while, i got used to it. it was like smoking for the whole day as smoke comes out from ur mouth while u breathe or even talk (not smokela, but ape ek..xto wakaka)..bercy had a small shopping area called bercy village.. a place with shopping shops and souvenirs in it. very nice indeed. we walked about 10mins to the supermarket or 'le merche' - my dad's fave hangout - everyday would be le merche for him.. we bought food to cook that day. p/s: human need food to survive. so, after walking and a lil bit of sightseeing, we decided to go back to our bunks. my mum cooked spaghetti for us - no meat ..yikes, boring speg.. (tp same cam aku buat kt utp la,sdap bakk)..hehe, then after eating we slept the whole day..it was like heaven to sleep from 5pm to 7am next morning..wakaka,long time no sleep like that on la..haha.so, the first day in paris was just to get the finest rest that we could..

the next day will be a very bright and cheerful one for us..of course!

the day arrived (6-2-05)..
it was such a joyous and memorable day. i woke up quite early - 12pm n took a quick bath. it's common not having breakfast at home for me, so after getting ready(u know all those stuffs - no need to mention rite?) i quickly drove my car to subang parade. u see, last nite my sister realized that our 4mp olympus digicam's charger was faulty. so, i had to go to buy a new one as to go and change for a new one using warranties will take centuries. after arriving in sbg prd, i bought a brand new c12 charger that costs about 240. end of story. i rushed back home with the new charger and demm the led on the charger could not 'glow'. so, a new problem has evolved. i wanted to go to sbg prd again to check whether the battery or the charger that was rather faulty. but it was 430 pm!! so, it was quite late and i decided to borrow a digicam from my lilbro's frens. my frens, all lived around msia couldn't be reached by a short period of time(one in keramat, in subang, in muadzam, in seremban,melake,tronoh..haha),so there came a digicam from my bro's fren - his name was..wait a sec, what's his name..argh!! owh it was minzan (dono how to spell,haha). the digi cam was only 2mp but at least we got one to capture the moment of history.

going to the airport, imagine having 7 persons including my aunt nextdoor carrying 6 large suitcases - i mean it, really humongous, not enough, we also had our own onboard bags - like cute small suitcases -3 of them..hehe. and like personal bags too.so, about 7pm we shot of to klia - one of the most glamourous airports in the world(it's true man!). 3 cars - perdana v6 drove by my uncle (apperently my aunt's husband nextdoor), my atoz carrying all the luggages drove by my mum's fren, and asri - ni bf akak saye..hahaha driving a gen2. arriving klia, we had a small dinner, maybe a light one.. at mcd. as the mcdonald outlet serves the name of fastfood restaurant, it serves the same objective as us,to be faster.. we were late actually, so we ate there..haha (actually it was my idea bcoz i was damn starving and really wanted a whole bigmac with fries and sundae..hehe). haa, i exchanged rm1100 ang got 220 euros..with the magic of my uncle's staff id, i got a little tiny whinny discount..hehe! at 1015pm, we went thru security and went to the boarding hall. our flight was at 1115pm.


after boarding, not surprisingly..my parenz n aunt would be in 1st class, and the kids contradictly having stupid meals and boring shows at economy class..haha, in flight.. it was a damn boring 13hour flight to Charles de Gaulle, paris - cdg, dats wut my parenz call it.. the inflight movies were outdated and the food was..yikes - habat..haha. i spent most of the time wacthing juon omputih - grudge, cite bombe yg wafa suketuh(forgot the title)..playing nintendo games - there was the micro genius mario,cool! then....fiabajela! after 13hours of turbulance ride, we finally arrived paris, seemed to be a nice place from the airplane view, i could see excitement in our faces - only could see my sibs faces haha..my parenz wasn't there of course. and the plane landed swiftly and we have arrived at charles de gaulle..
-the end-
