Wewechu

Without doubt, I may have somehow lost part of that passionate blogging mojo.

The last time I blogged was ages ago about Real Madrid winning the Primera Liga. They're still doing well at that moment without that moody Capello. In fact, they beat Barca last night. Who cares if it was 1-0 , they still beat them. XD

Procrastination works well through my system everytime I attempt to blog or maybe it was all the SPM stress. My Cbox seems to be the only thing keeping my blog alive.

A lot has happened over the past few months which I hope to blog about soon enough in a series of posts. I intend to use me blog to keep track of my life. Haha.

Enough said,

SPM is over .. (which just means no more BM for me!!)

Prom was fun ..

High school is so over =( ..

If only the results could come faster.. Best of luck to those PMR candidates obtaining their results in about 2 days time.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Campeones de La Liga

Raul draping club scarf over the goddess Cibeles

The hopes and dreams of all Real Madrid fans were answered last week. Final score : 3-1. As i had stated in the last post, Real would have won unless they could slump that badly against Majorca. As always, Real matches are rather unpredictable at the beginning and well their first halves are generally quite bland. The end of the first half of Real matches seem to always leave me pondering over all the high hopes I place over this numero uno team.

even tom and katie were happy over the win
of their good friend's team

So yeah, Real have won the La Liga for the 3oth time. Their first silverware in 4 years signifying the end of the galacticos era as Beckham and Roberto Carlos would be leaving. MU fans seemed to also have a reason to celebrate since they would be obtaining about 2 million pounds from the transfer deals of Beckham and Van Nistelrooy. There was a rather different pace to the 'last' match as Van Nistelrooy, the usual hero of the game limped out of the game during the first half. That was when I felt that their hopes of winning were gone as Majorca had already scored a goal before that while Barca was flying ahead with almost 5 goals in their game.

2nd half started without beckham but everything seemed to be playing out well. Real's first goal from Reyes brought a sense of relief while the 2nd one from Diarra just confirmed the win. The Bernabeu was already roaring with the cheers of fans at that moment. With the third and last one from Reyes again, you just had that exciting urge to just end the match and celebrate right away. The happiness of the fans was bringing down the house. All this is quite impressive especially coz it was about 5 am malaysian time. Very few people wake up at such times just to catch la liga matches. Admittedly, I have only woken up or stayed up for a few matches I hoped to be interesting.

Congrats again to Real Madrid and the whole team. Mixed feelings still remain over Fabio Capello's position as coach. Frankly speaking I wouldn't mind if he gets fired. I've disliked him from the beginning anyway. Till the next season starts lets hope that Calderon will be able to attract more star players to replace the great ones who left. Thierry Henry is moving to Barcelona so Real better do something or risk defeat again next season.

Results That Make You Go Loco

Real Madrid is so gonna win this year's Primera Liga !!

I was watching the match and it certainly was full of ups and downs. When Zaragoza got the frst goal in through a penalty kick, it definitely didn't seem to go that well. Zaragoza was leading till the end of the first half. Van Nistelrooy put in Real's first goal while Zaragoza had another ball going in. Their fans were euphoric and Real seemed to be at the losing end.

If Real were to lose, that would signal an end to their hopeful league win. With hearts of fans pounding, Van Nistelrooy managed to score again at the 88th minute. 2-2 it was and at the same time it was announced that Barca had also drawed 2-2 with Espanyol. That was without doubt a relief as Real would still be in the running for the title. One more match left against Mallorca which would lead to Real's almost definite victory.

So what if Real was the dumping ground for MU players. They all seem to make wonders particularly Van Nistelrooy and Beckham. It is gonna be sad seeing Beckham and Roberto Carlos play for Real the last time next week. I highly doubt we would be receiving coverage of Major League Soccer over here in Malaysia.

Let me also congratulate our 'beloved' PM Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi over his wedding today to Jeanne Abdullah aged 53. To Pak Lah, I hope you would be able to fill that void in your heart and achieve greater heights as our leader. To Jeanne (whichever way your name would be pronounced), you are one hell of a lucky woman. Haha ..

someone trying hard to act cute

Many question why a 67 year old man like Pak Lah would want to remarry just 2 years after his ex-wife died but it kind of gets lonely living alone in that huge Seri Perdana. It does however seem rather wrong in the sense that Jeanne used to be the house supervisor of Seri Perdana. Then again .. its better than Pak Lah going for his secretary or PA.

looks tai tai enough for a PM's wife

I have also this view about how PM's look much more presentable and capable with a woman in hand. Datin PM's wife would soon be escorting Pak Lah on his trips overseas and at most official functions. A penultimate end to seeing Pak Lah at official functions together with Datin Rosmah at times without Najib.

Welcome to TEMASIK

I am very sure every football fan in Malaysia knows of the ongoing row between the AFC and well Manchester United since like half of Malaysia is filled with MU fans. This is all because MU's tour match in KL clashes with that AFC Cup which I've never even heard off. I guess AFC realises how unknown their 'Cup' is that they dare not face the competition from MU. Come on, no one I know would actually bother watching unless they hear that Malaysia plays Japan or something.

AFC wants MU reschedule their tour but MU won't budge even after a meeting a few weeks ago. Even PM Badawi wants the match to go on because of the VMY 2007 campaign. The match is of national interest and it was organised by Tourism Malaysia so AFC have no business at all to bother. Even Khairy Jamaluddin has expressed his support for the match to go on.

Imagine how shocked I was to find some of the comments of these damn unopen-minded jakun malaysians in the papers on why the MU match should be cancelled. Just comes to show how some malaysians still have this fucked up kampung mentality ..

• How can Manchester United get us the Merdeka feeling? Looks like we still love the people who colonised us
• We got Merdeka from England 1957. We r Asians. Don't support them again. Our future with AFC.

Football is about uniting the world and it has nothing to do with supporting your past colonial leaders .. Vision 2020 ain't gonna work with you jakuns around ..

This comes kind of late but I watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 at Times Square aka. lala-land last Saturday. Wanted to catch it on Friday at KLCC but no one wanted to tag along.

I must mention that Saturday made me hate Times Square even more. There was this fucked up lala-convention to promote some taiwan tv show with that lesbo-like S.H.E. woman and some fahrenheit guy. The whole entrance was filled with these *insert word* people. Just looking at the way they dress and talk makes me wanna puke. Borders seems to be the only place to regain a touch of the real word in that dreadful mall.

1st things first, I was kind of shocked at first to find out that Pirates 3 was almost three hours long but then again it's worth it considering it cost me Rm 11 for a ticket. Two and a half hours for the second installment was long enough that I was holding my bladder to the max throughout the movie.

There had been many mixed reactions about this movie but personally I found it nice. It may have been rather draggy at certain parts but Jack Sparrow's lame yet spontaneous acting can definitely overcome any boredom whatsoever. Pirates is one of the few series-like movies which have to be watched from the start. If not, you'll just end up dozing off like my sis's friends sitting next to me . Haha

I must add that the animators involved in the production have done a pretty good job with special mention for the various fight scenes. Coolest being the part where two ships were sucked into the whirlpool of water. The topsy-turvy way of getting out of Davy Jones Locker was something interesting too. I must say that they could have done something better when Calypso reappeared bcoz I found that a little crappy. Who could forget the part where Will proposed to Elizabeth and well the way they were unofficially married.

The idea of the Brethren Court was plain cool. Its like a United Nations for pirates. The location of the fourth meeting was another fascinating animated one with odd looking structures and lights. The Mistress Cheng there was very freaky (chinese female pirate lord) while the indian pirate lord was just strange. There was a Spanish one too , Villanueva !!

I found the ending to the movie so-so. I think it would be difficult for the producers to create another sequel with such an ending. Elizabeth and Will evolving from being lovers to pirate lords ain't very appealing to viewers in my opinion. It was a relief to see that the 'fish-people' in the Flying Dutchman had transformed back to normal humans.

Chow Yun Fatt was very lame at the beginning with all the "more steam" parts. Plus, what kind of pirate lord resides in some stinky old bathhouse filled with low-class pirates. "Welcome to Singapore" was even worse. Since when did Singapore which is supposed to be Temasik become a pirate 'hub'. Why not something like "Welcome to Larut" .. fine, that's even lamer. The movie's depiction of Singapore was one hell of a under-statement though.

Something many of us including myself didn't know was that there was actually a scene after all the credits where they showed Will and Elizabeth reuniting 'after 10 years' with their apparent son which was strangely the little boy whom was about to be hanged when he started summoning for the Brethren Court .. my sis only bothered telling me after the movie ended ,, arghh

Overall Rating : 3.5/5

I still want to catch a few more movies during the holidays ie.

1. Blades of Glory
2. Shrek 3
3. Ocean's Thirteen
4. The Last Mimzy
5. Fantastic Four 2
