A Life Less Ordinary

I am still in shocked. Killin send me an SMS last night saying that Aunt Jenna had passed away and it seems like strings of bad news crawling up one by one to my surprise.

First, Nikki didn’t win the best music video award. I was actually quite disappointed with that. She lost out to Pete Teo’s Made in America. Well, at least it’s Pete Teo and I do agree that his music video deserved the win.

Second

“Man U came from behind 0-2 to be beat Everton 4-2. Chelsea drew with Bolton 2-2”

That’s really not good news at all. Premiership is a wrap. There’s no way Chelsea can close the 5 points deficit in 3 games. Still have another two to fight for and hopefully next season will be better

Third, no reply. Let’s not discuss it to details. I’m not in the mood

Aunt Jenna’s death was a big shock to the family. She doesn’t seem to be sick when I last saw her and that was a couple of weeks ago, she was looking great. I was taken aback, thinking of how vulnerable life can be. You might not know when your turn will be.

There were some points of my life where I realized that I don’t even know what I want. I don’t know what I want to be, what I want to do and I don’t even know what to think of? Sometimes when decision was made, it somehow always ends up being in the opposite direction of what I want, what I desired the most. It often leads to disappointments. It’s a walking contradiction. Not to say that my life is somewhat you might think as a total wreck but to think of it, I think it was not that bad at all. Well, depends on how you look at it. Call it miserable, because I wandered far or maybe nomad or vagabond, call me what you will.

I often asked myself what’s the purpose of life? What’s this life for? Is it to live is to die and to die is to live? I’m not quite sure of what the hell am I saying here but there’s one thing for sure, life is so full of surprises. I just love this phrase “Life is Like a Box of Chocolate”. I bet most of you know that phrase. Well in a sense, I’d like to think that life has a lot more to offer and yes that’s true and what amuses me about life is that often I was so anxious to know what will happen the next few seconds, or minutes or hours or days, weeks, months, years, decades and the list goes on. I only missed out on centuries I guess. But it’s not really important anyway.

Most of the time we just don’t know why is that we are still standing waiting, doesn’t have a clue of what we are waiting for and in the end we got sick of wasting energy and then try the best possible way to find the back door. Normal. I mean it’s a matter of choice that we are talking about. The day we were born, theatrically we were born free and that is our privilege. I might sound like it came from bittersweet frustrations that were piled up forging a decent amount of hate and misery. Look at the world today. That justifies what had been happening all this while.

No matter what happen, how bad things goes, I’m happy to know that I have someone to turn to even if my whole world is like trembling down and everything seems to hopeless. I know that the Almighty will always be watching me from above and make the very best happened. Things happened for some reason, we might not know why but as far as I know, I believe that He had great plans for you and me, for us and for all.

Just like a star shine beyond night time I know you’re there shining your blessings upon me.

To Aunt Jenna,

“The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me besides the still water. He restores my soul; He leads me in the path of righteousness For His name’s sake”

Psalm 23:1-3

Amen 

Ok, now it’s time to educate you guys a little bit on Bahasa Melayu Sarawak. It’s slightly different in terms of usage and also pronunciation. I will guide you through the process. Ok, usually when we start picking up languages, curses and swear words are something that we can catch up easily. So, in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2007, I decided to educate you guys with some simple swear words, easy ones of course. It won’t be that much of a tongue twister.

cilaka / chee-la-kha / noun1. archaic or derogatory an illegitimate person (bastard) : cilaka! Kemak kau juak!

Translation : You bastard! Fuck you!

2. showing unpleasantness with something (shit) : cilaka! Sik guna juak Wes Brown tok!

Traslation : Shit! This Wes Brown is so fucking useless

Babi / ba-bee / noun

1. a domesticated mammal with sparse bristly hair and a flat snout, kept for its meat

Not this pig la ..

2. informal a greedy, dirty or unpleasant person : muka cam babi ada hati mok jadi penyanyi, bagus gik burit aku.

Translation : Face like pig want to be artist ah? My ass is better.

Bangsat / bunk-sart / noun

See bastard e.g : bangsat kau juak! Apa polah ko gi ngenjar sinun?

Translation : You bastard! What the fuck you think you doing there, whoring ah?

Bangkai / bunk-khy / noun

1. decomposed body : Buang gik bangkai asuk ya! Bau kali juak.

Translation : Throw away the dead dog, it’s fucking smelly.

2. to irritate somebody by calling them names : Bangkai juak ko tok!

Translation : Ermm .. shit, what ah? You bangkai!

Perut / per-root / noun

1. stomach

Baya / bar-ya / noun – iban

1. a large predatory semi aquatic reptile with long jaws, long tail, short legs and a horny textured skin (crocodile) : non swear sentence in iban

anang mandi ba batu anchau ari ili sungai nyin, empa baya legi

Translation : don’t go and bath upstream at the rocky part of the river, later crocodile will eat you!

It might be a little bit similar with Malay in a sense but with Malays you can’t combined these words to form a sentence. In Bahasa Melayu Sarawak, you can combine these few words and form a magnificent curse that can leave somebody speechless. It doesn’t have any specific meaning but you can try and have fun with it. Say it like this :

CILAKA BABI BANGSAT BANGKAI PERUT BAYA!

Chee-la-kha bar-bee bunk-sart bunk-khy per-root bar-ya!

It’s like saying :

You crazy son of a bitch fucking melodramatic heretic lunatic smashing pumpkins moron!

Have fun

I went for an interview the other day with a plywood company. The post that I applied for was Logistics Assistant. It was quite a drive from my house to the place where I will be interviewed which is the main office. The place itself is situated at the Industrial estate at about almost 25 KM from town. My interview was scheduled to be at 2:00 PM.

It was not until 4:00 PM that I got the chance to be interviewed. There were 21 applicants altogether but only I think at about 12 applicants turned up for the interview. I was applicant number 8. After almost 2 hours of shivering in the conference room I was finally called to the director’s office.

There was a young man in the room, I think in about his late 20’s around 27-29 most probably. He introduced himself as Jason and asked me to sit down and get on with the interview.

The first question he asked me was whether I am comfortable with English or Bahasa Melayu. I answered straight away, English. He smiled and said that I am actually the first English speaking candidate of the day. I don’t know whether I should be happy with that or not but I gave him a smile.

I was set to be focused on talking about issues related to logistics as I applied for that particular post. One of the first few question s that he asked me was that, when I heard the word SY Plywood, what kind of a job that I expect or what kind of working environment that I have in mind. So I told him, since this is a plywood company and I applied for a job in the logistics department I’d expected that I would be working both on site which is in the factory and also in the office.

I told him that my job would be something involving transportations, shipping, scheduling and some part of it would be keeping an eye on the machineries as in keeping stocks of what type of spare parts we have and those that we don’t have. I was trying my very best to answer the question even though to  be honest I have no experience in handling logistics as in working per say. The only experience that I have which was close might be a little bit far from close was when I was appointed as the technical and special tasks exco for my University Camp.

Then he said:

“What if I were to put you in the engineering department?”

I thought, is he joking? I don’t come from an engineering school and not that I have any engineering background either. The closest that I have to that might be when I was in my secondary school taking KHB (Kemahiran Hidup Bersepadu) which I did miserably well enough to get A.

“I’m sorry sir but I don’t even have an engineering background”

He smiled and answered

“My friend, a degree is just a kick start for your career. It’s for a little bit of acceleration to looks for jobs. I tell you one thing, if I were to put you and mechanical engineering student in the factory right now, both of you will start at 0, I can assure you that none of you will be able to handle it. So what I’m saying is it doesn’t really matter. You don’t have a background, fine we will train you. It’s whether you want to do it or not”

Well, it might sound convincing or not so convincingly voiced but at least he got saying these little things in my head that I’ll think about it. But one thing that really makes me saying I have to think twice about this job is the working hours.

Working Hours:

6:30 AM – Morning Briefing
7:30 AM – Start work
12:00 PM – Lunch Break
7:30 PM – Finish Work

It’s freaking 13 hours!

Annual Leaves:

14 Days after 1 year of slavery service

Off Days:

2 DAYS in a MONTH!

Shit, I don’t want to die so young.

Slave of a different colour?

Dee: That’s human rights violation, work like a dog, get paid really low and tell you what, it does sounds like a very typical china man company. If you get any other job offers after few months, cabut la. I also don’t work like that. Welcome to the world of slavery in advance! Ha ha ha!

Chee beh ..

And I’d like each and everyone to remember this day as it marked the 1st annivarsary of our dear friend Eric John was call to the Lord :

In Loving Memory of Eric John (1984-2006)

Eric was a hero. He was a Brother. He was a liberal. He was a patriot. He was a friend. And He always will be. With Eric’s death we have lost someone we hold dear. What He has left behind we will hold dearer still. May God bless his soul.

Amen

Tuesday, 10 April 2007 , 23:04

As everyone is keeping themselves busy with work and exams, I on the other hand am trying to keep myself busy with my writings. Somehow I think I’m very much at ease with what I am doing now; watching and observing what’s happening around me and try to put what I saw into words, which is exactly what I am doing now.

Grandma just came yesterday and will probably stay for a couple of days or so. Occasionally granny will be here every 2-3 months, depends on her medical appointment. She prefers to be sent to Bintulu instead of Miri. Well, basically because she got vast choices of places to stay. She sometimes will be at Uncle Nick’s place which is just a few blocks away from my house.

I’m keeping myself awake for the Valencia VS Chelsea clash at the Maestalla. Well, I still have another 4 hours to wait. I was thinking of going to bed earlier just now but then I just have so many things in my head that I would like to write.

I do hope that Chelsea will go through despite the uphill task that Chelsea will have to face in Valencia. My verdict, it will be a draw. Even so, I do hope that the result is in our favor. 1-1 seems to be a safe bet on the game. I’d very happy if we win the game tonight.

Whoever wins this tie will definitely face Rafa Benitez’s side in the next round. Well, Valencia used to be Rafa’s playground. He won the Champions League and The Primera Liga during his spell at Maestalla. I guess Liverpool is progressing tremendously well in Europe despite a not so convincing performances in the league, still they posses a big threat and one of the favourites to lift the cup in Athens next month.

Let’s just skip away from football just for a little while. Mel sent me an SMS this evening:

“Oi, Cibol! Dapat assessment kat INTAN? My friend said that’s the toughest one. 🙂 Good luck and start to do your work out now. Ha ha ha!”

Thanks for the super convincing encouragement. Oh! Boy. I’ve not been going for workout sessions for God knows how long. I hope it’s not a program where I have to do a lot of running and climbing. I had an experience once, which I told myself, I won’t do it again. That was back a few years ago when I went for this Gunung Nuang expedition. That was one hell of an expedition man. It took us 12 hours to reach the peak and the next day, I can’t even walk. Despite the pain and sufferings, I still managed to go to the National Museum a day after, a trip that I told myself that I would never miss. You want to know why? Hot chicks were all there, I mean with the trip. I brave it all away. Those were the days.

I’m off to bed now; I’ll see you again after the game. Good night!

Wednesday, 11 April 2007, 04:56

I can’t help but to blog about this. Against all odds, Chelsea Football Club has done it again. The quadruple is still very much within reach. Chelsea edged mighty Valencia 2-1 at La Maestalla thanks to second half goals by Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Essien that made up for what a great week for The Blues.

I can’t help but to feel so much excited about the win. We are through to the next round of the most elite European Football Club Competition of all time, The EUFA Champions League. Chelsea are through for the 3rd time that I can remember or maybe 2nd. I remember that we were beaten in the semis by our possible opposition in the next round, Liverpool 1-0 by a freak Luis Garcia strike at Anfield.

Chelsea put on a very patient style of play in the first half, a very typical boring way of Chelsea play I must say but somehow we managed to be in control of the game by having 61% in terms of possession of the ball. That stats somehow didn’t really reflect the score line at half time, Valencia was leading by a goal to nil thanks to a marvelous tap in from close range by the same man who knocked Chelsea out at the same stage back a few years ago (I’m too lazy to do my research), Fernando Morientes. Back then he was on loan from Real Madrid, playing for Monaco.

Mourinho made some changes in the 2nd half line-up; Joe Cole came in for the makeshift right back, Lasanna Diarra. Essien who has playing wide on the right was then being stuffed at the right wing-back position to make way for Joe Cole. It proved to be a turning to the game because for the next 45 minutes, Joe Cole has been giving Asier Del Horno (former Chelsea left back, sold to Valencia after a season) a torrid time on the right side but not only him was having a hard time, the same goes to Morretti and the ageing Ayala.

Essien got his magical touch on both of Chelsea’s goal. His confusing cross led to Chelsea’s comeback providing Shevchenko into lashing a powerful strike from three yards a goal mouth scramble and his wonderful strike in the dying minutes of the second half that ensure Chelsea are safe through to the semis marked his comeback after missing the last couple of matches due to injury. His performance tonight was worth every dime Chelsea spent to bring him from Lyon. A brilliant display and it seems to me that he can still play for another 90 minutes so to speak.

Valencia never really looked like scoring in the 2nd half but there was one decent chance that Angulo should’ve done better. Joe Cole’s introduction and Quique Sanchez’ decision to relegate Morientes to the bench proved to be the turning point of the game. After Morientes was taken out, Valencia was left with no out and out striker upfront. That gave Chelsea a little breather at the back despite potent threat on from Joaquin on the right flank.

Meanwhile Manchester United finally get their act together by walloping AS Roma 7-1 and went through the next round with 8-3 on aggregate. Braces from Michael Carrick, Christiano Ronaldo and a goal a piece from Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra completed the mauling of the Romans at the Theatre of Dreams. Somehow the phrase from the movie 300 came to mind, “Tonight We Dine in Hell!!” It sounded so sad to be true for Roma but I was happy that we’ll be seeing more English side in the next round. My verdict, Man United will face Bayern Munich in the semis. Bayern would very much like to avenge their 2-1 defeat in 1998. I guess this is just enough for the day. We’ll be seeing Liverpool end of this month as long as Liverpool not being battered 4-0 or 5-0 by PSV tomorrow, which is unlikely of course and it will be one hell of a family battle; Dad VS me. I just can’t wait. Bring them on.

p/s : Zewt, sorry to dissapoint you 🙂

I remember the first poster that I got from SHOOT. It was a poster of Dan Petrescu done in a yellow with dark blue and light blue stripe strip away Chelsea shirt. That was back in 1996. I have very little knowledge of the English League back then. I know Liverpool and Ian Rush. We have a gigantic poster of Mr. Moustache on the wall. My dad is an avid fan of the KOP. Mom told me that I was about to be named “Kevin” as in Kevin Keegan but due to my dad’s strong belief in Spurs number 8 midfield maestro, Steve Archibald, I was named Bernard Archibald instead of Bernard Kevin Keegan. Oh! Boy that would be one hell of a name.

Ever since I got to secondary school, the boys have been talking about Manchester United and Liverpool and a little bit of Newcastle because Alan Shearer was a big hit back then. I think it was 1995 when I first heard of Manchester United. That was when they beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final, or was it 1996? I was not too sure.

When I first got my playstation which was freaking expensive that time, the first game that I bought was ADIDAS Power Soccer. It was a game full of shit whereby you can play Street Fighter kind of football. Some hidden keys to perform ADIDAS Kick and you’ll be on fire. I did that accidentally once I guess and scored a goal. I picked Chelsea as my first club, because of the colour blue and I saw Gullit on the squad list.

It has been 11 wonderful years I’ve been supporting Chelsea. Yup, a club that everybody loves to hate. I was with them since Ruud Gullit took over from Glenn Hoddle then came on Gianluca Vialli, Claudio Ranieri and now Jose “The Special One” Mourinho. I was with them when they were sponsored by AMIGA, Coors, Autoglass, Fly Emirates and now SAMSUNG. I was with them since the Ken Bates era until now the multi millionaire Roman Abramovich. I was with them when Matthew Harding met with an accident on the way back from watching Chelsea’s league cup defeat at Reebok Stadium. I was with them when Dennis Wise was captain and now he’s trying to save Leeds United’s ass from being relegated to League Two.

Talk about memories, I will never forget Wembley’s 1997 FA Cup final. A superb 18 seconds second half strike from Roberto Di Matteo, which was the fastest goal ever scored at Wembley and another one by Frank Sinclair in the 70+ minutes, I couldn’t remember that to details, hand me my first ever trophy as a Chelsea supporter. That same year, Middlesbrough was relegated to the English First Division and it was also Juninho Paulista’s final game for the teeside club. Juninho and I share the same birth date. 22nd February.

One not to forget was how Chelsea bounced back from 2-0 in the first half to win the tie 4-2 in the end at Anfield. Thanks to Gianluca Vialli for the brace. That was before we beat Boro in the final of the FA cup. Mark Hughes puts on another pulsating display in the next round where we beat Wimbeldon 2-0 at Selhurst Park. The same year Fergie said “My biggest regret was letting Sparky (Mark Hughes) moved to Chelsea”.

We finished 6th in the league, Gianfranco Zola was named The PFA Player of The Year, the first ever foreigner to have won it and what more to say that he only came in to Stamford Bridge halfway through the season. The same season we did a double on United by winning both ties home and away. 1-0 at Stamford Bridge Thanks To Gianluca Vialli and the same player scored the winner in United’s 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford. Eventually they went on to win the league the same year.

1998, Chelsea got it’s first ever European silverware, The Cup Winners Cup by beating VFB Stuttgart 1-0 thanks to Gianfranco Zola’s superb solo effort. Chelsea was the last team to have won it as the competition was abolished a year after. The same year, Chelsea added another European silverware to the trophy cabinet, European Super Cup by beating Real Madrid, winner of 98’s European Champion’s Cup. The hero was Gustavo Poyet, a player whom Chelsea got on a free transfer from Real Zaragoza, already past his prime that time but still have a lot to offer. 
 
1999 Beating United 5-0 at Stamford Bridge was a very much anticipated news for the only Chelsea supporter in my school that time. It was a shock to the whole nation; I was happy and sad at the same time, happy because we won and sad because I have nobody to celebrate with. Gus Poyet and Jody Morris scored in that game. The same year, FA Cup 5th round, United took their revenge by Beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 5-3 in which Beckham scored two and sang “Can you hear the Chelsea sing?” The same year, we beat Arsenal 5-0 at home in the League Cup.

2000, the start of the new Millennium, Chelsea beat Aston Villa at Wembley by a single goal. Roberto Di Matteo scored again for the second time at Wembley. That was the only trophy of the season and the last game to be ever played at the old Wembley. We managed to get into the Champions league that year facing Barcelona for the first time in the quarters, we won the first leg 3-1 thanks to Tore Andre Flo’s brace but we were battered in the 2nd leg 5-1, with Dennis Wise, captain marvel scoring the only goal.

Start of 2000/2001 season, Chelsea bought Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink for a club record of 18m pounds if I’m not mistaken. He proved to be a good buy, scoring 2 goals on his debut in the English Charity Shield in the expense of Man United. Sir Alex Ferguson refused to receive the medal given by Ken Bates. Well, Ken Bates was all in all an ass anyway. I was glad that he was butted out from the board.

You see, Chelsea’s history and successes might not be as colourful and magnificent as Man United’s or Liverpool but it’s worth all the pain to be a true supporter to a club that I’ve been clinging on for the past 11 years. What I know is enough for me to tell my children that Chelsea Football Club is the club of my life even if the very first thing that connects me to the club was not the football but it was the colour blue, so blue is the colour and another thing is I don’t even know how to pronounce Chelsea when I first know about them. Instead of telling everyone I’m supporting Chelsea, they thought that I was expressing my obsession to a girl name Chel-see-ya!

I wore the number 8 since I was in primary school. I don’t play football that much. Why 8? Because of all the great midfield player wore 8. For a start it was because my dad told me number 8 is nice (Remember Steve Archibald?). When I first saw a football match, it was when Brazil beat Italy during the 1994 world cup. I was fascinated by Bebeto’s perfect passing and intense tackling which actually influenced me a lot. I got a lot of yellow and sending offs since then and at Chelsea, that was the perfect number for a perfect player. Both are my past and current favourites, Dennis Wise and Frank Lampard Jr, 11m pound buy from West Ham. The move was motivated by the clash of management. Frank lampard Sr was sacked by West Ham and for the better, Frank Lampard Jr hand in a transfer request in which he was quickly snapped by Chelsea. He was back then the captain for England U-21. After his moved, a few other bright promising youngsters left West Ham which was the turning point of their pinfall down to League One. (Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Jermaine Defoe, Michael Carrick, Glenn Johnson) My favourite number 8s have the more or less similar style of play except for Wise is more of Roy Keane-liked and Lampard is more to attacking.

I’ve been asked this a lot of times, “Do you think that Chelsea can retain the title?” My answer is still no, they can’t but I still have that belief that they can turn things around. People talk about scrappy play and it was just luck in every game, yes I do agree that Chelsea didn’t play a Man United and Arsenal entertaining kind of football but that football have brought Chelsea two back to back Premiership titles. If you asked me again which one I’d prefer, lousy football but 3 points or brilliant football and a draw? I still prefer 3 points. It’s all that matters. Money can’t buy success, yup.. very very true. I’m a believer, but it’s not a reason or an excuse for not winning the Premiership. I just hate the statement, “They bought the premiership”. What’s there to play for?

For God sake, Chelsea have money and let them spend what the way they like. I mean is it Chelsea’s fault that Andriy Shevchenko cost 30m pound? Is it Chelsea’s fault that Michael Essien costs 25m Pounds? Think about it, if it’s Tottenham who were going for Essien, do you think he’d costs that much? It was just because it’s Chelsea, people know that they got money. It’s like me blaming Bill Gates for being rich while I’m stuck here at home not earning a single penny because I don’t have a proper job!

People hate Roman. Why? Because he got money and he can buy who he wants or what he wants. To remind you, Abramovich was considering buying United, but it proved to be too costly even for someone who have bottomless pocket like him. What if he did buy United in the first place? Will they be saying that United bought the title? I doubt it; it was only because it’s Chelsea, the club that everybody loves to hate!

If Chelsea doesn’t win the title this season, would I go and kill myself? No! A farking no is my answer. Why? I’ll give you a piece of my mind. I’ve been there when Chelsea were nobody. I won’t be lying that I would be a little bit disappointed but I will still be happy about it. For me, this particular season, was undoubtly Chelsea’s best season of all. Why? Given the situation Chelsea was playing without a single centre back for almost 2 months, we managed to go through and not losing the second place to Arsenal and Liverpool. If you give that situation to Arsenal or maybe Liverpool, they might have been in the relegation zone so to speak, too harsh to say, I’m sorry. I wouldn’t fancy United will make it through 3 weeks without a centre back. Chelsea only lost one game that is to Liverpool within that period and I must admit with the scrappy play that Chelsea have been playing, I didn’t expect them to close the gap to 3 points but they proved me wrong. They did it.

I’m not going to talk about how Rio’s blunder and Van Der Saar’s poor handling of the ball giving Chelsea any favour. It’s football and shits does happens and I’m not saying Portsmouth was lucky but I think they deserved the the 3 points so to speak.

The title race is still very much wide open and I must say I still have the respect to Man United that they will bounced back from what’s would deemed to be one of their worst week ever, beaten 2-1 at Stadio Olimpico and then with the same scoreline at Fratton Park. There are still 6 games left to play and anything can happen at any moment. Chelsea’s great week turned out to be an opposite one for United but I do believe everyone will not give up the race without a fight, be it with spectacular football or just scrappy play, and still 3 points that matter.

I think this is the longest post that I’ve ever written. I just can’t stop typing actually. There’s so much to say but I’ll just save it for another day. A toast to all football fans around the globe. As for me, once a blue forever a blue!

Before I leave, to Charyelle and all Chelsea fans out there (If there’s any)

Me and Mar were on this amazing race for “Who’ll Get A Job First”. The condition, whoever got a job first, have to chia yam cha. Not a very good motivation though, as I prefer to be belanja and not to belanja. A reason to not get a job. 🙂

Verdict from Bongkersz :

“I think Mar is going to win this. You’re so damn slow man”.

Actual Result :

Indeed, Mar thriumped. She won the race. (Yea, belanja! Belanja!)

It was not all bad news for me though. Remember that I told you guys about I’m sitting for PTD exam? Guess what? I passed the examination. I got the letter 2 days after Mar got that phone call saying that she got the job. Im not that all lousy after all.

Upon receiving the letter, I felt like receiving a call for attending National Service. I’ll be going for my PTD Assesment Program at Institut Tadbir Negara (INTAN)Kuching Campus on the 4th till the 6th of May 2007. Friends have been telling me that it’s like attending school motivational camp. If that’s the case, I just hope that I’ll do well in it la.

So, I’ll be seeing those who are or will be in Kuching during that period. I doubt it they will allow me to sneak out during the program. So I hope to be meeting with Mar (yam cha your treat), Oink, Charyelle, Lola and whoever that is there la.
May the force be with me.

One lucky farker. I made a promise to myself if I were to be posted to KL, I will be there. I was in KL for about almost 5 years before I decided to move back to Bintulu. It was a move motivated by the feeling of longing for home and also sick and tired of hectic KL.

During those 5 years, well almost 5 years, I’ve never been to Sepang F1 Circuit. Not that I’m as fanatic as Charyelle but I think I need to be there at least once. Just once in a lifetime is enough. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

By the way, Chelsea won and Man Utd lost .. What a great week ..
