A Tough FA Cup 5th Round Draw
It seemed like a ghost town at the time I was waiting for Shahril to pick me up for work. Normally, the coffeeshops would be crowded with people and those people who are either late for school or work will be rushing to catch the bus. But since it was the 2nd day of Chinese New Year and it is still a public holiday, the streets were empty and I was the only person there.
The first half of the day was good as we were not busy. 2nd half of the day though, I had to be at a static post. Once I reached the post at 2.30pm, it was a totally different day for me. It was very hot and humid and again there weren't much people around considering the offices are all close for the holiday. Time went by very slowly indeed but I managed to hang on. Luckily enough, the next team officer came quite early to take over duty.
I got home feeling extremely tired and while I was having dinner, I remembered that today is the 5th round draw for the FA Cup and decided to surf the net for a while to see who Man Utd will be facing. It was definitely bad news as Man Utd will be away to Liverpool. This is a really tough draw for Man Utd especially being away at Anfield.
I just hope that the team will do well in the game and will come out as the winners. As for now, I'm off to dreamland..

Magical Day at Magical Sentosa
Today marks the 5th year of my relationship with my ayang. We decided to go to Sentosa to tryout some new activities there. I drove my bro-in-law's Matrix for the day.
First up, we need energy for all the fun we will be having later on, so we took our lunch first. Went to our usual Thosai shop at Wishart Rd. Since it's near to Sentosa, its an ideal place. Ayang had her normal paper thosai and I had my egg thosai. As usual, I requested for the fish curry for my thosai. The curry there is simply delicious. You guys should try it. So far, i've brought my colleagues and family there to eat and all of them came back for more.
After lunch, we went straight to Sentosa. Our first stop was Siloso beach. We wanted to go to Palawan beach but it was further from the carpark so since Siloso beach is just next to the carpark, its more convenient. We swimmed for about 30minutes or so before going for the Luge ride. Everyone going for the Luge ride will have to take the chairlift first which goes above 100 - 200m from the ground. I can't believed ayang managed to convince me to take this ride. Honestly speaking, I am afraid of heights and i'm not embarrased to say it cause there are a lot of guys out there who have height phobia. I have even seen a super duper muscular guy being afraid of heights. So I guessed its something normal. You can see how my face look like after the chairlift ride. The picture is in my gallery. Check it out..
After the ride, its time to go on the Luge ride. It is something like Go-Kart. I have never taken the Go Kart before so this is a new experience for me. It was really really fun. I will surely come for this again in the future. It would be better if the track was longer though. After that, we went to Sentosa 4D Magix.
This is something like Cinemania or watching an IMAX movie. The only difference is that it has new special effects like wind blowing directly to your face or water sprayed on you as what is happening in the movie. The show itself was short, approximately about 15 minutes long.
After the show, we had time to walk down the fountain garden and down to the Musical fountain for a show called 'Magical Sentosa'. The show itself is a S$4-million sound, light and laser extravaganza. You can see how beautiful the entire show is through my picture gallery. I managed to grab some shots. It was dark though, so only some pictures turned out nice.
It was the end of the show and the time is 10pm. Both ayang and me were tired and hungry. We decided to call it a day and headed to Tanjong Pagar Railway Station for dinner. We had Fried Mee with Cockles and Prawn Omelette. Both didn't finished the food as we were both too tired. It was a long journey back home and after sending ayang home, I had to pump petrol and afterwhich got home at around midnight.
It was a wonderful day and this is the best anniversary i've ever had with ayang and i'm sure she feels the same too. Thanks for the sweet and memorable day ayang and I hope you had lotsa fun today. Happy anniversary and I love you..

"I Do" by 98 Degrees
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause I
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
In my world before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day
I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart'
Til my dying day
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do

New Skin Dedicated To My One & Only
Tomorrow will be my 5th year anniversary with my queen. As such, I thought of having a new skin to celebrate this special day for us. I won't have the time to post the new skin tomorrow as I will be having plans to celebrate with my ayang and therefore decide to post the new skin today.
I took about 2-3 hours to finally come up with this image. I hope that my ayang will love it. This skin comes along with a song which says everything in my heart right now. Its from 98 Degrees titled 'I Do".

Sunday Was A Lovely Day
It was a great day for me on Sunday. While buying breakfast, I met an old friend of mine, Nizar. He's more of a brother to me actually. He was my brother's friend since primary school and they were really close together. My brother, Nizar and I went out quite often together, watching soccer at the National Stadium during the time when Singapore was in the Malaysian League. We would always meet up at Bedok Interchange, before proceeding on to the stadium. Nizar would also come to my house to hang out with my brother. I was quite surprise to see that he still recognise me. The last time I saw him was 15yrs ago, when my brother past away. While I was having breakfast, I can't help but got reminded of past memories. It was just the best time of my life.
When I got back, I watched the Man Utd and Liverpool match. It was a hard fought match and I have to be honest, I did not think Man Utd would win the match. Looking at their midfield line-up, all 4 of them were playing out of position but at the end of the day, they did their job well. We got a last minute goal - courtesy of Ferdinand. Of course, Liverpool supporters, players and manager alike, all think that Man Utd were just lucky and said it was a lucky goal. WELL FOR ALL YOU LOSERS OUT THERE - THE GOAL WAS NEVER A LUCKY ONE. IT WAS A GREAT FREEKICK BY GIGGS AND FERDINAND ROSE UP TO THE OCCASSION BY DELIVERING A THUNDEROUS HEADER INTO THE GOAL. IT WAS A WELL WORKED FREEKICK.
Get a-life guys cause it was a deserving victory for us - like it or not..

In Her Shoes
I watched the movie 'In Her Shoes' earlier today with ayang at Bugis. It was a sweet movie regarding 2 sisters who definitely are different from one another. I don't know why but whenever I watch a movie about family relations, somehow or rather I can't help but get emotional. Maybe it's just me. Anyway, this is the first English movie that actually made me sad and I almost had teary eyes at the end of the movie. I just find the movie sweet. Cameron Diaz was definitely hot in the movie. After the movie, we had dinner and I reached home around midnight. I tried to sleep after having supper but couldn't get to sleep. I wanted to play my game but don't have the mood to. Its been 4 days now since I last played my game. Normally, if I don't get to play my game for 2 days, I will feel restless but not now. Something weird is happening to me. Hmm..

An Updated Look
It was not a good day for me. The main upset of the day has to be Man U's defeat to Man City. Man City played better but Steve Bennett once again proved why he is not fit to be an EPL referee. He gave too many wrong decisions and even sent off Ronaldo when Ronaldo himself should have gotten a freekick himself just seconds before being sent off. That's totally unfair! I'm not crying out loud for Man U's lost. I always give credit to the better team but the thoughts that we lost because of a total-jackass's stupid decision really make my blood boil. I couldn't sleep as i'm feeling rather down at the moment. I decided to create a new background image for my blog and is rather pleased with the result. This is definitely better than the one I did last night. This one only took me 5 minutes. I guess practice makes perfect..

Me Against The World - Simple Plan
We're not gonna be just a part of their game
We're not gonna be just the victims
We're taking our dreams, and they tear them apart
Until everyone's the same
I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But i'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world
It's me against the world
We won't let them change how we feel in our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let them shove all the thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be like them
I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my ownI
've gotta prove them wrong
It's me against the world
Me against the world
Now I'm sick of this waiting
So come on and take your shot
You can spit all your insults
But nothing you can say is going to change us
You can sit there and judge me
Say what you want to
But we'll never let you win
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me against the world
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
They'll never bring us down
We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

Finally..
Its been a while since I want to design my own blog skins and finally today, I did it. Took me 5 hours though! But at the end of the day, i'm happy with the design. Even though its just a simple design, at least its my own theme and idea. I didn't know what theme to make, so being a die-hard Man Utd fan, I decided to go with the team. Now that i'm done with this, i'm gonna play my game. This is the first time that I have not played any game when i'm at home the whole day. Thanks to designing the blog skin.. Anyway, check out the song as well. I think its a nice song to go with the theme. I'll post the lyrics after this. For you die-hard Man Utd fans, just as the lyrics in the song goes, we will never die!

Erti Persahabatan
A lovely nice song my friends..check it out
Erti Persahabatan
Saat gembira tertawa
Saat berduka kita sama-sama
Duduk bermuram durja
Kita saling memerlukan
Menghormati satu ikatan
Itulah... ertinya persahabatan
Ada kalanya terkasar bahasa
Tapi kita saling memaafinya
Pahit manis kecapi bersama
Bersatu hadapi segala... oohhh
Bersamalah teman kita hargai
Mahkota suci... oohhh
Bersamalah teman kita harungi
Istana erti persahabatan
Berkekalanlah hendaknya
Kemesraan diantara kita
Seandainya tak lagi bersama
Semat kenangan mengusik jiwa... oohhh

A Belated Goodbye
I could not write about this on the day itself as my monitor of about 5 years finally 'died'. As a result, I have to wait until today to get a new monitor. Thanks to Fairus, I got a 19 inch LCD monitor for just $200/- and even though the monitor is 2nd hand, it still look as good as new. Well, knowing Fairus, he is someone who will take good care of his stuff pretty well which is why I do not have to worry about the monitor being dirty and etc. This is what I was going to write on 31/12/05.
It was a busy night for us on the road. It was expected since it was Friday night. Before work, we had some pizza thanks to Sudirman and Razaly. It was their last day in the team and therefore they had decided to treat the team. After briefing, Sudirman and Razaly had to give a speech - that's the team's culture whenever someone is leaving the team or had just join the team. Both tried to add some jokes in their speech but deep inside, I know how they felt. I was sad myself and nearly had tears coming from my eyes. Both of them have played significance part in my life over the past 2 or 3 years. Being my seniors, they impart their knowledge and help me out in times of need. I have to say, I owe a huge part of what I am now in the team thanks to both of them.
After work, all our kakis went to makan at our usual favourite prata shop. This was gonna be the last time Sudirman and Razaly is joining us for breakfast after work. The day had finally come. The moment itself was hard for me to take. I cracked some jokes to hide my true feelings. After breakfast, we headed towards PCC again. It was time to say goodbye. We stood outside the barrier at PCC to shake hands and to give wishes to one another. Inside me, I was crying but I controlled myself. In the moments of sadness, Sudirman even shake my hands twice. He must have forgotten that we had already done so. Well bro, I still owe you big time for the help in the past. Like i've said before, I will never forget that.
When all wishes have been voiced to one another, it was the time to say goodbye. Each go on his own direction and brothers, may we meet again on the same path in the future.

Dengan Atau Tanpamu - Exist
Tika ku disentuh cinta
Cinta melirikan lara
Gerah kerinduan sendiri tanpamu
Kadang mengusutkan jiwaku
Namun aku tetap tegar jua
Lalu ku tempuhi semuanya
Cinta luhur digelap menjadi cahaya
Dengan mu hidup lebih bermakna
Keyakinan ku pun semakin bertambah
Semakin mudah kaki mengatur langkah
Rasa tepatnya pilih hidup bersama dengan mu
Sebelum terjatuh sakit yang tak tertanggung
Atau kemungkinan langit esok mendung
Dibawah langit yang terbuka
Ku mohon rahmat Tuhan yang Esa
Kalau di takdirkan aku harus berhadapan
Berakhirnya suatu ikatan
Akan aku relakan
Pada perpisahan
Nyawa berpisah dari badan
Kalau ditakdirkan berakhir dipertengahan
Suratan sebuah percintaan
Sanggup aku menahan
Pedih perpisahan
Walau menghiris perasaan
Sakitnya biar aku rasakan
Airmata Ibu - Siti Nurhaliza
Apakah sebenarnya
Terbuku dikalbumu
Apakah erti linang airmata di pipimu
Ucapkanlah padaku
Tak bisa kurungkainya
Rahsia yang kau pendam itu
Aku hanya menduga
Tidak mampu merasa
Sebenar-benar perasaanmu
Pengorbanan yang kau lakukan
Untuk dewasakan ku
Pengorbanan yang kau lakukan
Untuk dewasakanku
Hanya bisa ditangguing oleh hati ibu
Takkan terlerai kasih
Ikatan ini takkan putus
Dan terima segala
Dugaan dan badai yang melanda
Duhai ibu
