BELATED, BUT STILL NOT TOO LATE TO WISH CONGRATULATION!

Hari Raya Aidiladha will come for another 2 days. So Lucky this time, I am on leave for that day, after several years working on Public Holiday. Oh, ha. I will have my interview for executive position this Thursday at PJ. Hope so this is my last interview for the next few years ahead.

Right, forget about it. Back to the topic. Lambat, tetapi masih belum terlewat. I would like to wish congratulation to Kelantan Football Team, or better known as The Red Warrior (TRW) for their victory to take home treble silverware this year; Super League Champion, FA Cup Winner and Malaysia Cup Winner. They were against all odds actually, by looking back through entire season, or maybe entire year.

1) Their coach, Peter Buttler was quit his position, instead he headed to Terengganu and now relieved from 6 month ban by his current management which was later found illegal. Bojan Hodak, who famously made his name in Malaysian football several years ago with TV3 MyTeam took over without looking back.

2) Their de facto Manager, Tan Sri Annuar Musa who was also  among top, famous and favourite leader in FAM faced 30 months suspended for his comment on current national squad; the unfair punishment which made Malaysian Harimau Malaya supporters running riot and at one time, the Association's website has been hacked to show frustration.

3) Their fans, which has been known for their fanatically support before has change from bad to good. They even organized Solat Sunat Hajat (a pray perform by Muslim to asking help from Allah) at their stadium. But several supporters from other clubs labelled them as non-civilized people, which was very insulting. Maybe if this is an English Premier League, we can call it Racist and Racially Abused, the very unfair treat. For me myself, I found their supporters very nice and kind. There is one afternoon I had my lunch at one of TRW fan's stall with wearing Sarawak's jersey (later in that evening TRW faced Crocs). The owner not only kind to me. She and his son even make me feel like having my lunch at home. And guess what, the meal price is cheap, and the meal itself was delicious. Now I'm proudly told others that I'm a regular customer there.

4) Step in to the Final Match without their 2 prolific players; the controversial Lebanese striker Mohammad Gaddhar and in-form attacking midfielder Norfarhan. Instead, they still scored 3 goals through National Squad forward Norshahrul-idlan Talaha (Mat Yo) and former national midfielder Indra Putra Mahyuddin.

5) Despite took 3 major title, they still facing hard obstructions from several parties, in which I think that it was too much and unfair.

Dear Malaysian Football supporters, I have several question to you all. Why are we hate them? Why are we so sceptical to them? Even though we are not supporting them, just let it be. Their players were not different from other teams, their supporters' behaviour also now has changed. If you asking me myself, my answer is yes, I am not their supporter. But from the beginning to the end, I found personally they deserved all the titles. I even e-mailed to Sarawak Football Association to follow their good thing and implement it in the next season, from players selection, coaching staff, tactical and training and even the management as well. At least we must be proud as a truly Malaysian, the Malaysia Cup hasn't been shipping to Singapore through their team Lions XII.

But of course, my credit was also to ATM team. In their earlier stage, some people labelled them as "Garbage Squad" by looking to their 2/3 KUDA TUA (old-horse and got 3 unemployed while several others has seen their last year's contract dismissed). Yet, they still grab Pemier League Title and played in Final. And they are the team that make the Lions XII's dream shattered.

And for me myself, despite unable to go to the Shah Alam Stadium on that historical night, I still enjoyed the game through big screen in which I can say it was the best Final of Malaysia  Cup I've ever watched.

Last but not least, Congratulation to TRW, and Respect to ATM.

MAJULAH SUKAN BOLA SEPAK UNTUK KEDAI MAMAK!!! (Dah kalau ada game bola je, mesti penuh kedai mamak. Kaya diorang tau!!!)

HONEST, AND LOYALTY?

Some people ask me about these two things. Well, in my opinion, honest and loyalty (some may prefer loyalist) are two different type of people, even though at one point, it can be together while most of it apart. For example, people asking your opinion about politic. And you will start with what you know, defending one side while slamming the other. And when it comes to General Election, you vote for it. That case, we can say it were together. But how about you work at one nice company, who treat you good and at the end of the month, you get paid. You'll keep talking about this company. Until one day, there is another company came and offer you better, not only about salary, but everything from benefit to advantage, and even can give you a rank that you deserve. Will you stay?

Some hypocrite people will say yes. But at the same time, the story will be different. You will keep talking about this offer until at the end of the day, your company will either counter-offer you or sack you if it come to worst. Will you let this thing happen?

For me, the answer will definitely NO. I can be honest to everyone. But I'll give my best to those who can give me what I deserved.

Am I Wrong? Hey, look at you yourself. You go to university to study this and that. Got your certificate with excellent result. Do you want a salary lower than what Diploma holders got? Do you want it? I ask again, DO YOU WANT IT?

New partnership; POLDI UND SANTI!

Many EPL supporters last night in Malaysia stayed in front of television to watch the EPL games, mostly between Liverpool - Arsenal and Southampton - Manchester United. And of course, the most highlighted person last nigh must be Arsene Wenger. Why? His two new major signings; Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla delivered a goals each one of them after two frustrated opening game. It was only Arsenal from EPL big names has yet to conceded a goal (the other team was only Swansea) after 3 matches, a club record for 88 years. And what was more interesting is the clean sheet was made by 3rd choice goalkeeper, Vito Mannone (another Italian Job). And on top of that, it was ex-Arsenal skipper, non other than the Arsene's trusted forward Robin van Persie scored his first hat trick for Manchester United.

Watching Liverpool against Arsenal always make me excited. These two clubs have their own history, legendary players, amazing loyal fans in this entire planet, and the present of bunch of talented players.Of course, my choice is always The Gunners. And last night they delivered what was a so-called  'Their Most Excited Win' in two years. Mannone has shown that he is eligible to fight for 1st choice keeper. The defenders line was the best ever performance, with Carl Jeckinson now has matured compared to last year when they lost 2-8 to MU (the scar still there). To control a 17 years old pacy winger (Raheem Sterling) is not an easy task. Mertesacker mark his comeback with his trademark; not even one cross ball arrived in front of goal post. Vermaelen, as always, prove to us that he deserved the Captain armband and a nickname Verminator. Most impressive, Gibbs who keep Suarez frustrated. In the center of the pitch, Diaby was a man can replace Song with his doggy performance. Arteta and Cazorla became more dangerous with their understanding performance. While Oxlade-Chamberlain shown to us why Wenger need him so badly last season and why he deserved a place in Euro 2012 squad. Podolski has shut the negative comments against him with his first goal for Arsenal. The only thing need to improve is Giroud. But this is only 3 games. Last season, Arsenal was worse than last night. Yet they still finished at 3rd place. So, maybe this year they can bring at least one trophy to Emirates, based on their current performance. Who know?

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT AIDILFITRI DAN HARI KEMERDEKAAN.

Aidilfitri already pass. But people still talking about our heroes Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Pandelela Rinong who make Malaysian proud, at least.

So, about the sport, let continue business with football. 4 group matches in Piala Malaysia has been completed. Yet every team still has a chance to go through final 8, or quarter-final stage. Seem that newcomer from Premier League, ATM already make their mark with The Red Warrior Kelantan. Other than that, The Red Giant Selangor seem like can't make it to semi-final, base on their current performance.

In EPL, some of new players like Eden Hazard of Chelsea, Michu of Swansea and Shinji Kagawa from MU have made a good impact in their debut. This season also welcoming back Southampton after a long absent. While Liverpool suffer their first game under Brendan Rogers and brand-new jersey (Warrior Sport, sound like TRW's sponsor, eh?), Arsenal however has yet to score a goal after 2 draws again stubborn Sunderland and Stoke. Still, the arrival of Giroud, Cazorla and of course Podolski have shown that the departure of Robin van Persie to MU and Alex Song to Barcelona (again? How many Gunner players did that Catalan actually want?) is not too bad for them. Manchester City however found their previous 2 hard-fought win must be evaluate properly, since their performance was far from what have their shown last season.

Swansea, under their new manager, the celebrated Dannish Michael Laundrup get their newly signed player worth their money, when Michu blast the hat trick against QPR (errr.... Luckily this year their put AIR ASIA logo on their chest, not MALAYSIA anymore!)

In two weeks period, I'll prepare myself to a new working condition, and new field, as Public Assistant. But still, it is under Security Department. Where? Just wait and see until I update my blog again.

Last but not least; SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, HARI KEMERDEKAAN DAN HARI MALAYSIA. And Of course, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beloved Dad, Sharkawi.

Long time. I'm not working at Bukit Bintang anymore. But who know, one day maybe I'll be back there, sooner or later.
Fasting make me think my future plan more stronger than before. Raya will coming soon. Stay sharp, looking another opportunities. And that is my priority now...

Not This Time...

Sunday, 12/02/2012, we lost in our way to conquer Inter-hotel Cup to First World Hotel during quarter-final.....

TOO LONG!

It took almost 1 year to me to come back to my blog. No time, plus my attention was disturb by this FACEBOOKPHOBE. Really!

No new story. Last year was ran just like anothe past years. People talk about politics. This is wrong and that was wrong. So, who is right? I'm getting fed up with all this bullshit thing. Politic is not dirty. But it were the politicians who make it messy, dirty and filthy.

Please, for the moment of your life, think about people. Outsiders jusst wanna see when the time will come to Malaysia to drop, fall down and get drown like other Asia countries. And we Malaysian keep fighting among us. Finger-point to each other.
