bananas and lubricants..
Assalamualaikum,
Gile babi!!! that's the perfect expression im using to start this entry. i just got back from buying some groceries at cold storage klcc. i was very2 surprised and upset when i found out the ridiculous prices on the goods there! Gile Babi!! with the same amount of money, i could've bought more in Australia, for 2 person! i've never realised or experienced that msian inflation is this bad, seriously, mengejutkan! here's a comparison between prices of some of the basic stuff in Msia vs Oz. bear in mind ah, im earning, almost the same as i was back in Oz, so save ur time converting e'thing and say ' alaaaa kalau ko convert oz to msia, kan msia lagi murah'.. no dont!! imagine what u can buy with RM1 and AUD1.. u'd be surprised too! we're talking bout, say i earn RM2000 and AUD2000 in respective countries..here goes..
hah!! look at that!!! i spent almost RM50 for 5 item that's probably gonna last for less than one week (comsuming alone)!! compared to only AUD25 if i was in Oz, and some of the item like bread n weetbix, offered more in terms of size yet still cheaper!!!! korang tgk beza harga weetbix tu, melampau tak???!!! looking at the total, i spent almost double in kl, meaning if i had AUD50, i could've gotten myself 2-3 weeks of b'fast!! gile kaaaan!!
now u may argue, ni barangan import laa.. ape laa.. i know.. but still, they are the only kinds available at the cold storage..! msia tak produce ke these items yg murah2??? assuming that u wanna lead a healthy lifestyle, this is what u have to pay in KL! and most of us dont, sad to sayyyy..we cant afford to have a healthy lifestyle..tu pasal org makan nasi lemak or roti canai yg cost less than RM5 per day.. murah mmg murah! but, dgn lemak nye, gula nye, garam nye, mmg unhealthy laaa.. and little are being done to promote healthy b'fast either by the food industry..
we can go forever discussing bout this, there are so many areas that we can go into.. like, inflation, cost of living, interest rates, natural resources, production, bla bla bla.. what is the real cause of all this?? but i just want to ask few questions..
why msians still couldn't care less bout health in the 21st century, and at the same time making it ever so costly to take care??
what is it that they have, that we dont to help ourselves live healthy lives?
are we so poor that we have to eat junk and unhealthy stuffs??

It's the time of the year where everybody is too busy to think about everybody else but himself.It's like a year end performance review where you will nicely write things that you've done throughout the financial year(ayat2 masuk bakul).
- the gaza conflict is one to be focussed on.. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaihhh.. endless reports from the middle east about the latest attacks of israelis on palestine. to be honest, i dont think the issue will ever going to be solved, one thing for sure is it'sgoing to be worse.. it all started in 1948, when israel was declared a counrty.. i did a short research (wikipedia :)) on this matter and totally got why are the arabs are so pissed off with this ppl.. u guys should do some reading to, it's not long pun..kalau aku boleh baca, korang lagi boleh..
how is it going to end? answer, never.. the jews had an issue in europe (holocaust) in europe some time ago.. sooo, they rightly felt depressed.. of course something needed to be done.. they unite all the jews in the world, and slowly started migrating to mid east which was then the palestine land under the british.. the brits felt that they needed to do some justice (atas dasar kasihan or ada udang sebalik batu) and give a piece of the land to the jews.. what the fuck??? here's a piece of land that u colonise from arabs, then some desperate ppl was going thru an uprising and said 'we want a country'.. note that these jews that came from all over the world was still a minority even after the immigration..of course the palestines was not happy lah kan..
slowly it began to establish itself with the backing of their closest friends US and UK.. shooing every single palestinians that got in their way, from their own land!!! tu yg buat dendam sampai skarang tu.. to me the hatred towards these jews will never go away, hence the very reason the terrorist groups exist! these so called terrorists felt robbed or felt that they had to somehow defend the arabs maruah.. bukan senang2 je pendatang nak masuk pastu halau sedara mara mereka siap pijak2 lagi kepala diorang.. pendek kata dendam tu takkan habis selagi yahudi2 tersebut tak blah!
cerita yg lama ni seolah2 dilupakan oleh pihak baraaaaaaat.. to them israel is a legitimate nation and the issue of occupying ppls land is far behind them.. tu yg masalahnye.. mmg betul, they are being threatened by hamas and hezbullah, which they are using to justify their attacks on gaza..tapiiiiiiii, punca nye adalah 1948 which i dont think, any sane arabs or by right anyone in the world, would forgive! and now u're saying that you had to attack gaza because u're being attacked, these terrorist groups are fighting pun because once their land was being taken away just like that! and since it all started, they haven't gained anything back!!! so the battle will and i stress WILL continue! i can never see this ending..sorry to say la..
- another report i saw on al jazeera was on the suffering of cambodians.. ni lagi gila.. cambodia was under a dictatorship sometime ago.. gruelling images of human skulls lined up on the ground had always been the 'image of cambodia'.. long after this notorious regime ended, cambodia is like a girl after a rape scene in the shower soaking wet with clothes on.. their ppl are left like that with no real hope of future.. the govt is literally selling pieces of land to the foreigners, for what u may ask? no one knows, selling land in cambodia is like selling a blank note book... do whatever u want with it, dont need to explain why u wanna buy it.. and worst of all, occupants of these lands are being chased away by their new landlords.. with guns!!!!! takde hati perut..! these ppl know nothing! one day they're doing their own business, next they govt military come and fire shots and burn their homes! ape ni weeeih!!??? ape senang2 je halau org ni weh!! kimak sungguh!
kesimpulan entry ni adelah, ape jadi ngan dunia ni weh! where did it go wrong? ape la dlm pala otak diorang sampai boleh buat benda2 camni.. haaaaaaaaaaaaaih..
Pagi yg hening dicemari dgn bunyi tapak kaki si pemakai selipar jepun purple. Aku baru je balik futsal tatkala disergah seorang pemuda yg dari gayanye nampak seperti pemuda kelantan yg baru pulang dari memancing ikan. Berikut adalah sesi temu bual bersama jemay dari blog G dan A.
Jemay: Semekom bang! Amar: w'salam! Jemay: nama aku Jemay.. aku ni suka bertanye, maka abang akan ditanya oleh aku berkali-kali.. bukan ape bang, aku tgk blog2 skang sume nye makin sunyi.. kalau blog sunyi, sunyilah hidup aku bang..

Jemay: aku tanye pasal topik rokok nak? Amar: boleh.. jgn lecture pasal stop isap rokok dah..(light satu rokok)
Jemay: ko start isap rokok bila? Amar: 1st rokok aku isap aku ingat lagi masa tu aku umur antara 9-11 tahun..jiran kitorang masa rumah lama kat ampang hilir Indon, siap ade meja snooker lagi..pastu bila balik dari indon je diorang bwk byk carton gudang garam bagi bapak aku, aku cilok satu dlm stor pastu amik sepam..terbatuk2 gak aa..oh pastu lagi satu member nakal aku dtg rumah pastu isap rokok kat luar, fawaz nama dia.. aku try sepam je.. tu kira start isap rokok ke?

Amar: kalau boleh, stop la isap rokok, aku betul2 rasa kalau member sekeliling aku stop, aku pun stop, takde aa rokok org nak pow2..betul tak kawan2 perokok?? haha..
Jemay pun berlalu pergi menggalas beg sampan tiup nye.. gaya dia berjalan berlenggang lenggok seperti Fatimah pergi membeli telur angsa.. ntah ape lagi gelagat Jemay selepas ini.. kita semua tak tahu.. sama2 kita fikirkan..
There're the funny Arabs on youtube performing stupid stunts, Koreans and Japanese ridiculous acts in game shows, and Scandinavians......erm well they just look funny to me.. the spaniards have their own thing to be proud of too! their very own Spanish la Liga commentators!!! owhhh.. im even laughing as i type... i was excited for the Barca v. Valencia game, with the former sitting at the top, the latter doing not so bad this season after horrific one last year.. so there i was, sitting on the couch alone at 3.30am.. sounds like any ordinary nights of late night spanish la liga..except that i had a pen a paper with me.. 'for what' u may ask? hahahaha ..having the privilege of being unemployed, i can aford to stay up late for these games, so i decided to jot down some of the things about the game (the commentating) just to share them with u fellow readers.. soo here it goes, the match highlights... oh btw the game was awesome, barca outclassed valencia..4-0 was the final score, not that it matters at all..just have a look at these....
before kick off - yes..the action began even before the game! something good bout spanish broadcast is that they are very keen capturing images of spectators on the stands.. while zooming from top, looking down at 3 gentlemen wearing suits (i suppose this is the VIP box) the commentator of course being handsomely paid, is obliged to say something about the scene.. one of the 3 dude was the valencia's director Fernando Gomes..and the commentator went (imagine spanish accent) "there is the Valencia Sporting Director Fernando Gomes, he's the man with the less hair".. hahahaha... OMG!! cant u just say "the man on the left" hahahah.. would we ever hear english commentators saying "the baldy over there is Sir Bobby Charlton" or "the red faced man is Sir Alex" ?? hahahha.. aku dah seronok dah time nih... talking about living up to expactations, what a way to kick off the broadcast!!!
13th minutes - the game was played at a high tempo even at this early stage but no goal as yet... and suddenly heard at the background was an announcement in spanish by the stadium announcer... i wondered what was the stadium announcer saying.. thank god there's the ever so dedicated commentator on the job! this is what he had to say, "the announcer just announced that there is a little boy lost in the stadium" hahahaha.. pause....... hahahahahahahah!! ok senor commentator, ppl at home would help to look for the poor kid.. we'll spot him in no time! oh wait, how are we gonna contact u should we find him?? hahahahhaha..
19th minutes - gooooooooooooooal!!! Henry lobbed the ball over the keeper after a brilliant long ball from yaya toure.. boring..
27th minutes - goool... *yawn* Henry again..
46th minutes - goooooooooooooal!! valencia looked awful coming in after halftime and conceding a goal just a minute into second the period.. valencia players thought that the game was stopped for offside, but they thought wrong.. Barca kept on playing and got the ball to Dani Alves on the right who finished with class.. amidst the confussion the commentator goes "and this goal is only for clever people" hahahahahahhaha.. he surely knows how to put it into words! nothing better than kicking a man in the face when he's down! hahahahaha.. (watch this part in the video highlights below)..
54th minutes - stadium announcer comes again, and the commentator insisted to get help from home audience "the little boy is still lost"...hahahahhaha.. poor kid, but this is hilarious!!! adeeeeeih!! hahahah.. hahahahha..aku kesian gak kat budak tu, tapi nak buat camne!!! hahaha..
79th minutes - Henry grabbed a third for himself to round up a great performance by the Catalans..
oeverall, a satisfying evening.. man of the match should only be between Henry and the commentator..oh ywah and lets hope that they've found that lil boy.. maybe the commentator would tell us the good news during the El Classico! listening to their voices just aren't enough for me, i wanna see these faces! hahah i hope they look as funny as they sound..haha.. til then, bye bye now..
I'm going to begin with the story on the newly appointed Arsenal captain.. i can only say one thing...I TOLD YOU SO!!!! before even ppl were talking about this, i remembered a few years back, i think it was 2005, i actually said to a friend that Cesc would be the captain when he turn 22.. well i was wrong about one thing there! he is 21!! not much can be said right now, but i have a good feeling that he's gonna be a successful one.. here are some points that i personally think that he is the right choice to lead this team..
- apart from theo, he's one of the better english-speakers in the first team, one thing that gallas obviously lacked.. and that voice didn't help either monsiuer gallas
- cool headed, well at least he had matured over the years unlike that cry-baby defender..the days of spitting at opponents and naughty-haircut-look are well behind him, lets hope..
- disciplined, on and off the field..we dont hear much bout him being a suspect of a rape case, or spotted smoking outside a night club..more importantly, his conduct on the field says nothing about his age..matured and composed.. without discarding the element of intelligence.. uuuuh... if only i could paint on canvas these descriptions..
- good image (errr..good looking..sorry willy), i've seen him doing interviews, charity works and stuffs.. he's liked by everyone, i dont think there's any part of him that ppl despise really.. and u rarely come accross a footballer where u can genuinely say he's a role model.. i think he's second to beckham in this sense..
- Loyal..i know,much had been said about him leaving and all, but c'mon..here's a lad who moved to london alone at the age of 15 ,from FC Barcelona (his childhood team of course), almost went straight away into the first team, earned tonnes of appearances, won some awards and now the CAPTAIN!! here's where i think he's a bit different from other captains like titi and pat.. cesc is a true gunner..
i wish him all the best and hope he would not leave us at least until he's 28 (is this another forecast?? we'll see)
apart from soccer, i'm seriously finding it hard to come up with something interesting to write at the moment.. bloody hell..if only im paid to do this, i would think harder of one, but at the moment, im just too lazy with little drive to think of one..so i will keep on rambling about things that maybe more than half of you out there wouldn't be interested in..
PS: Mapen, ko jgn la buat2 blagak sebok dgn keje sampai takde time nak update..aku tampar karang..
careful arsenal fans, dont get too cocky too soon (amar amdan, 2008)
as per my previous entry, i offered some predictions of the Arsenal MU game.. and thank god i was wrong!!
an awesome match.. both sides were up for it.. (but not ronaldo, hehe)..i must say, we always do good with 4-5-1.. altho in this match bendtner was a bit isolated, but he did enough..performer of the day will definitely go to denilson.. he's more accustomed to his role now as the holding midfielder.. he was not the typical robust and combative type, but he did cover all the spaces and win posession quite impressively..maybe arsene should just stick to this formation even when adebayor and van persie is available.. it gives more coverage in midfield wihtout compromising the attacks, we all know well about arsenal's potential to score from midfield, so better make use of this.. this 4-5-1 might be the secret weapon arsene might wanna keep hold til the end of the season, i seriously think we could go into every game with this..
defensively we could have done better as a team tho.. rooney n ronaldo each had a clear chance..on another day, it could've been a totally different story.. having said that, if bendtner was more lethal in front of goal, the scoreline would be different as well.. but i was delighted with the end result.. i was surprused really at how we played..this goes to show that different opponents need different approaches.. the fact that man u played positively, opened up their defence.. i really think that even we'd played like this against stoke, it wouldn't have made any much difference.. u have to battle against teams like this, battle physically and tactically..
oh ye.. one more thing, i think wenger made a mistake by bringing on kolo toure and alexander song during the last 10 mins.. i just think that changing the team at 2-0 up against man u, is a bit risky.. what i think he should've done is ask walcott and nasri to be more discipline and keep the ball as much as possible.. bringing in song and toure not only changed the shape of the team, but put the team in defensive mode immediatley.. this will give the impression to the team that they just need to sitback and absorb all the pressure, which i dont think worked, as we conceded a late goal..at that time i seriously had a feeling it's going to be spurs once again..so next time only when we're 3-0 up ah ok..
