Assalamualaikum..

Yeeeee..dulu aku gemuk gilaa.. My peak weight ade cecah 85kg!! haha..pastu aku jadi cam skang..ade aa dlm 71 camtu.. Alhamdulillah...everybody was shocked with this change.. dulu ade member aku panggil aku 'perut' haha..skang tak pecaya aku dah camni..

Having this change in me had raised so many questions.. the most common questions are, "asal kau kurus ah skarang?" and "camne ko boleh kurus aa? ape ko buat?".. without knowing the real answer to that, aku slalu joke "stress blajar aa" or "amik dadah aa".. of course, there was the chick factor (which hasn't worked to my advantage til this day..ape ade pada rupa?? lesson no. 1)..to be frank, we all dont find fatties attractive do we? but that wasn't the main reason, after all, aku tak plan pun nak jadi kurus, or ikut any diet programs..it happened in a stealth mode if you like..i wasn't like being a fat bastard one day to brad pitt the next day! slow slow..man man..

Well, today im clarifying it once and for all.. the answer to this puzzle, which i just found out recently (just now sebenarnye), is FOOTBALL!! Ppl say that u'd do anything for something/someone that u love.......

Im married to the game (and Arsenal..takde awek takpela, janji ade Arsenal).. everybody who knows me wel knows how passionate i am about the game..paling pantang aku kalau ade orang kacau time tgk game Arsenal..!! nak kena maki, kacaula! Being a fat ass wouldn't help u much in soccer..i still remember those days where i'd say "huh, camne aku nak main 1st eleven ah?"..those days are gone baybeh! takde la nak kata aku power, but i tend to have more confidence in me now, not mentioning self esteem.. Memang laa susah org nak main dgn org gemuk! Dah la huduh, lembap plak tu! hahaha..(lek amar lek).. But really, football changed me..

Waktu zaman MMU melaka dulu, that was the first time that i had the chance to play football regularly (everyday).. everyday without failing, aku akan turun padang main.. huh, for that brief 2 hrs everyday, i'd forget everything that's preoccupying me and enjoy, really enjoy the game! it was and still a therapy for me..if only i could play football for a living..

After going to classes and doing everything else in life, i always look forward to that time of the day when i can really express myself.. aku suka suasana petang just before main bola..i'd breathe the cool air and instantly feel everything else disappears except for the ball..sitting and standing on the green grass still gives me the feeling as if i own the field..i am the KING! the field is like an artblock for me, where i can express myself freely.. im free to do anything with the ball..! never in this life have i felt bored playing the game..

I started as an attacker (at six as i remebered)..masa tu aku kecik lagi, org sume cakap "huh, maradona aa dia.." i guess that was the moment that brought out the love in me towards this beautiful game..pastu my dad used to bring me and my bro to watch local games (rindu sial stadium merdeka dgn nasi bryani ayam goreng..peghh!).. then there was this period when i was lost, the period when video games and shits took over the passion, u know lah kan..(ni lah buat aku jadi gemuk gedabak).. When i was 14, i was a defender, my physique hindered me from playing in other positions (a stereotype that i had to bare with for a long time).. pastu dah besar skit (makin kurus)..i was mobile enough to promote myself into midfield..hehe..ade skali tu aku main striker MMU lagi (an achievement bagi aku)..but obviously, i wasn't quick enough..strikers have to have that killer instinct that i dont posses.. but my heart lies there in the mid.. i like to be the one who create things, to be involved in every play, to receive passes and to pass the ball as well..Patrick Vieira is the man i look up to until today..i believed in him eversince he joined from Milan..aku ingat dulu time org tanye "sape player fav. ko?" org lain sume cakap, ronaldo aa..del piero aa..ade yg REDKNAPP!! bila aku cakap "Patrick Vieira"..mula laa kena kutuk..kena gelak.. skang sape gelak!!! Paddy's the man!!

So tu je ah aku nak cakap skang, pendek kata i'd die without football (and i'd still be a fatso if it wasn't for football)..tu yg aku tgh risau lutut aku ni..zaman lutut aku expired nanti, camne la aku nak main bola..harap2 la ade bini cun gile boleh nyanyikan aku masa tido, bole masak makanan (low fat) best2, boleh urut aku bersama servis tambahan, bole borak cubit2 hidung, hahah (sorry najwaaa).., bole layan tgk bola sama2 (but, whoever my wife might be, pls dont ask me to explain the offside rule during the game...kalau nak, during half time or after the game)..

Fascinating infos bout me and soccer:-
