Today, the 31st of August 2008 marks the 51st aniversary of Malaysian Independence. 51 years... phew... long journey. I was born after the independence and after the formation of Malaysia. So i know little about the struggle to gain independence from the British Goverment. But nowadays, info are easy to find. Books, internet, newspaper... Everywhere there is information. Even time kita belajar sejarah di sekolah dulu ada juga information tentang kemerdekaan. This is what i've read from the BBC website at the "ON THIS DAY" Section...

1957: Malaya celebrates independence

The Federation of Malaya is now independent. The handover of power from Britain took place at midnight.
Thousands of young members of the Malay, Chinese and Indian parties, which form the government, stood in darkness for two minutes at midnight to mark the official handover.
As the new flag of independence was raised they called "Merdeka" (freedom) seven times.

Tunku Abdul Rahman, the prime minister-elect, who led the negotiations with the British for handover of power, was hailed as the Father of Independence.
Malaya will stay in the Commonwealth - and, as midnight approached, prime ministers of the member countries sent messages recorded in five continents.

The British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan said he hoped 31 August would long be remembered as a great and happy day in the continuing development of Malaya and the Commonwealth of Nations.
In his speech delivered at midnight, Tunku Abdul Rahman said it was the greatest moment in the life of the Malayan people. A new star had risen in the eastern sky - a star of freedom for yet another Asian people.

The new prime minister was educated at two British schools and graduated from Cambridge in 1925. Soon after World War II he went back to Britain to study law.
On his return to Malaya in 1949 he found a country eager for independence but also struggling with communist extremism.
He founded the Alliance Party in 1952 which brought together the ethnic Malay, Chinese and Indians. The party won the 1955 general election with an overwhelming majority.
The Tunku became Chief Minister and ended the state of emergency - introduced after a wave of attacks carried out by mainly Chinese communists on mine-owners and plantations - and granted an amnesty to communist terrorists.
Last year he led the negotiations with the British which paved the way for independence.
The new Malayan head of state, Tuanku Abdul Rahman, will be officially installed on 2 September. He was chosen from among the rulers of Malay's nine hereditary states.
He will hold the post of head of state for five years when his successor will be elected.
The installation ceremony will be witnessed by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester who are flying in to represent the Queen.

Again... it's a long journey....

So, to my fellow Malaysians, Happy Independence Day! May we live in harmony.

Looking foward for the Malaysia day on 16th of September, as it was the day that Malaysia was Born... The day where All the state including Sabah and Sarawak united under the flag of Malaysia...

Realized that number? Bukan 4d? Bukan 8d, manada 8d! Bukan jg 20 juta. Its yesterday date. 20th August 2008. Or we normally wrote as 200808. Tapi klu kana tulis full, jadi la 20082008. Repeating! Baru-baru tu 080808. Well, the number 8, people say to be a lucky number. Dunno about dat la. Not really that superstitious about number. Tp mmg lawa la dis number. I'm a bit chossy jg klu numbur jersi terutamanya... Is that made me superstitious? Haha...

What happened yesterday, in this so called 'lucky' day? Mcm teda ja. At the office, life is like usual. Hmm, my personal life, mcm besa saja. Nothing much change. Urang bilang, 'iri om iri'... Nothing much la.

My foot is still in the process of healing though. The swollen has gone down but i still feel the pain la. Sumtime it hurts when i walk, but kena tahan saja la... Not so comfortable to walk, hantam ja. This mean i can't play futsal or badminton for atleast a month. Duh... Confirm my fitness will drop this, n i will have a bigger task to regain it back. Hmmm...

Will be going for a trip on friday, n i have yet to change my money. Arggh! Hope to change it by today. Again the word, antam saja la.

Ok, that sums up everything 4 yesterday. Nothing much. 20082008 is just another date 4 me. Nothing more. Any good story 4 me about dis day?

Sia rasa nanti 090909 or 20092009 ada lai tu. Tp x tau la klu ada effect ma life sa... Harapla. Ok, time 4 sumting cool! CSI!

Yeah... its back... No more 'silent' weekend, no more sitting in the room doing nothing, no more sleeping at 9 pm on Saturday Night. NO MORE!!! The EPL is back! 3 months of suffering finally ended! Yah, the EPL kick off last night with Arsenal opening their 2008/09 account with a win over West Brom. 1-0 win, scored via Samir Nasri, a new recruit for Arsenal. Other result Boro (Middlesbrough) defeated Tottenham Hotspur by 2-1, Bolton 3 - 1 Stoke City, West Ham 2-1 Wigan, Everton losing at home 2-3 to Blackburn Rover. Shock result for me was Hull City, newly promoted team from the Championship side win against much fancied Fulham, 2-1. Liverpool needs a Fernando Torres goal to snatch a win against Sunderland. The Kops wins by 1-0.

What an opener, there is shock result, there is unexpected performance and few wonder goal!. I saw the Everton vs Blacburn last night, where i witness one really brilliant goal by David Dunn. Harap ada lai goal macam ni for tonight match.

The EPL has add the number of subs to be named by team manager from 5 to 7, thus giving the manager more option to pick at the game. So no wonder i witness a lot of new player from the Everton bench last night.

What's in store for Manchester United in tonight games against Newcastle??? All player are available for selection except for the injured Cristiano Ronaldo and Louis Saha. They will welcome back Captain, Gary Neville and will have Wayne Rooney fit for this clash. Last season saw Man. Utd trashed Newcastle on two occassion (home & Away) with atleast 5 goals!!! Can They repeat that feat? I don't know? The last time my beloved Man. Utd plays a competitive match was against Portsmouth in the Charity Shield match. United win the Shield but their finishing is what i am concerned about.

Been supporting Manchester United for the past 18 years now (since 1990), and as a fan, i really wish they can achieved what the did last season, or atleast win the premier league to equal Liverpool record of having won the league the most time. 17 title for Liverpool, 16 for Man. Utd!

Bah, apa lai... GLORY-GLORY MAN. UTD!!!

Sia kana sipak oleh one of my friend masa men on Monday. tepelanting juga lah sia... sudalah sia slim begini. Wakakaka... The effect, sia susah mo jalan, tapi masi buli main lah...

But the worst is yesterday. I was about to shoot when my friend come from no-way and try to clear the ball. so, instead of kicking the ball, i kicked his feet... Punya lah sakit... tapi sia lari-lari lai sekejap. Tahan saja lah sakit... Still manage to play on the second game, and still manage to score one goal... Poacher goal lah... Sia nda selesa mo belari sakit saja sia rasa... So bila dia pinya sakit memuncak, and my thigh is starting to give me problem, i've decided to stop playing. Takut makin teruk. Come to my surprise bila sia buka kasut and my socks, my foot sudah bengkak! Adidididi...

Malam gitu, after i've returned home, here's the result.






Went for checkup today, because sia takut ada fracture sama metatarsal bone sia. ada juga kana xray lah. Tapi macam tiada... huh... Thank God. Maybe urat lah... Sebab kuat bah tu impact sia shoot. Even my friend Bandy pun masi rasa sakit. Tapi he's okay lah... Sia saja yang nda okay... Jalan pun tempang2 nie... nda siok btul jalan...

Kalau konfirm bukan fracture, i am happy coz its a chance for me to play in the MOF Futsal tournament to be held in October. Harap bukan fracture, coz i will be out for atleast six month oh... no chance to play futsal, even badminton... hmmm... palis-palis...

Bgs oh ni package. Its a good deal urg bilang. Mcm nescaff 3 in 1. No need to mix sugar wit coffe plus the creamer as its all already in one packet. Jimat masa kunu. Satu con dia, x ble agak dia pnya rasa...

Apa lai yg 3-in-1 ah? Oh, mcm dlm opis, i got a good boss, a great mentor n a friend all in one guy. Hehe. Tp dia nda ble kana minum la... Hoho.

Sometime promo mcm ni is used as a marketing tools. Yala, sepa x mo jimat kan. Things nowadays are not cheap to buy. Smua price hike. Gaji? No comment. Im not in the position to comment that. Hehe. So, if ada promo mcm ni, mmg smua urg Pun mo ba. Without shadow of a doubt lai. Haha. 3 stuff in a price of . Cuba la drg jual kupi, gula sama susu pakai satu harga, sa rm5. Laku tu. Wakakaka.

But not all 3-in-1 things come handy. In my case now, its really annoying. Bikin panas bilang c ronney ajim. As i said in my previous post, i am going to sick. N now it has come true! Haha. Not only flu but also fever n cough. 3-in-1 kan! FLU, FEVER & COUGH! How lucky... The whole day today im feeling like an undead walking around d office, with a weak body n red eyes. Ada panda eyes lai tu. I hate it. Like no life today.

Kenapa sia sakit? Adaka sebab debu/habuk? Or pasal cuaca yg tidak menentu. Adaka pasal keteguran? Dunno... Tp yg pasti, im not comfortable with it.
Puh kiri kanan atas bawah depan blakang, sapat la ko ilang... Hehe

Arrrggghhh... i hate this... i gettin sick... ya.. sick. Leher sia padas-padas rasa dia... I think this is the effect of the two days off rearranging, angkat and kasi bersih our office... gettin a new set of table (and chairs) means that the old table have to be moved away lah... in our case, kena beli by own stuff... Hmmm... i also bought a set, the old Table and chair. It's still in a very goood condition.

Tapi the two days of cleaning, re-arranging all the table, make me breath dust. Not saying that the office was dirty. It's a new office, tapi faham-faham lah the dust from here and there, form underneath the table, store room... hmmm...

now, idung sia almost tersumbat, leher sia sakit... semua ada tanda-tanda mo FLU...Macam mana nie...? Biarlah... just take some pills lah... wekekekeke

Hehe... Tdur la, becerita pula kamu. Urg mo tdur pun nda senang... Adeh...
