And Another templates

Whoa! I Finally manage to change my blog template from the old one (can't remember when was the last time i changed it) to this new one...

This was my old blog template. Believe it or not... i found this one is more 'cantik' than the current one. Hmmm... Dunno... I still need to find a template that suits me. Haven't been blogging for quite sometime and i think this is the right time to start over again.. so i decided to change my blog template first. Well since i am soooo sleepy... this is the best i can do... i still need to tweak this template though. My HTML coding skills was rusty, i know... haven't been doing coding or even programming for such a long time, due to some 'mysterious' circumstances... hahahaha.

I need to find or create a very simple template, that is easy for for all of you to read and easy for me to retrieve/check/see whatever lah. Hopefully can do it today, after i come back from a friendly soccer match between the Lojitan Family and the Mojitoh's Family. Hope i will not feel exhausted.

Until then see you all... hehehehe

Campione!!! Campione!!!

Champion of England, Champion of Europe and just last night, Champion of the World! All in one year! Great achievement Manchester United. It’s just like 9 years ago when they won the EPL on the very last day of the season beating Tottenham Hotspurs by 2-1. Then winning the FA Cup beating Newcastle 2-0, and on 26th May 1999, Man. Utd did the unthinkable when they score two very late goal (in the injury time) to win the European Cup for the second time in Man. Utd history. They were actually trailing by one goal to Bayern Munich but two very late goal, first by Teddy Sheringham, followed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer make sure that Man. Utd completed the treble to mark their most successful year in their history. Few months later, they win the Intercontinental Cup by beating Palmeiras 1-0 at Tokyo. 4 Major trophies in a year! What an achievement.

Last night they did it again, although this time, less 1 trophy. They lose the FA Cup semi-final match and eliminated early in the League Cup. This time around, they in the running for all of the trophies offered. They are in the Semi-Final of the League Cup, and in the knock-out phase of the Champions League. The FA Cup hasn’t started yet and the Premier League is still a long way to go. Can they do another remarkable achievement? Can they win it all? I believe they can!

KaDuS Bilang:
Another year of trophies. so what's up for 2009? Susah mo cakap. this time around, teams in the BPL (EPL) is unpredictable. Just look on how Stoke City manage to draw with Liverpool at Anfield and defeated Arsenal. How teams who are doom to relegation slowly climbs the BPL ladder to safety. Man. Utd should be really-really aware of all the threat from the bilis-bilis. Jan tinguk bilis, silap-silap jadi jaws juga. tu yang banyak upset ni tahun. So after a very suffering Saturday evening, without live soccer match, Man. Utd matches i mean, i finally got to see a decent football match on Sunday evening. Puas ati lah... Okay Enjoy!!!

Next Target: Football Manager 2009

It's Finally out... But not 'yet' here in Malaysia lah. I guess have to wait for another month for this be in Malaysians market. Oh, this is about my favorite game series, the Football Manager 2009 (or in short form FM09). The last game i played was Football Manager 2008 (FM08). It become more and more realistic since i first played Championship Manager 1997/1998. From what I've heard FM09 will feature a 3D match engine to give 'managers' much more clearer idea on what happening on the pitch, rather to depend on the 2D match engine and 'commentary'. Good lah, cause i always misinterpret the meaning of any of the commentary given.

Here's some new feature that will make me more eager to get this game A.S.A.P. Wohoo...

1. 3D Match Engine - As said above, this will be something new for me. (I didn't play Fifa Manager, so i know nothing about 3D Match Engine).

2. TV View - Don't know anything about this. but for 1 and 2, i think i will need a very good PC with a decent Graphic Card to experience it. Hmmm...

3. Assistant Manager Feedback - Another new stuff. In FM08 the only feedback the assistant manager will give to me is how do they respone in the team talk, before, between and after the match. this time, the AM will tell whether my tactics is working or not and maybe ideas on how to outwit the opposition tactics. I can see that i would need to get an AM with a very good tactical knowledge here...

4. Improved Media - I don't actually think that this features will give any effect to my game play, but really wanted to see how they develop the Media? more stories maybe? detailed stories?

5.
Press Conferences - Wah... i like this. although it's not like the normal press conference where they will be a lot of reporters asking questions.

6. Transfer System - Good if they've revamp it. i just can't understand the real life transfer system now. Especially in Europe. Quite confusing nie... So if they revamp it i should get an idea it. Hehehehe...

7. Transfer Rumours - Its been retained but i guess it has a new feature, and it will affect the moral of the players, staff and fans... I love this features.

and more..

FM08?
So what will happen to this game? What will happened to Chesterfield (a team i am managing in FM08). Hmmm... It's come to my fifth season managing this team, just missed out on a automatic promotion spot, after drawing my final league game against Fulham. Now i am facing a playoff match. Hmm... But after Sport Interactive (SI) announced the release of FM09... Macam teda semangat mo continue this game already. We'll see lah...

But i hope this next installation of Football Manager Series will improved on every aspect and make them the closest to real life football managing experience. Really, i just can't wait to get this game and play it!! Yeah!!!

KaDuS Bilang:
I've been a fans of this game since 1998. Much improved game lah compare to the old one. Well, as i said if, i want to experience the fullest graphic capability, i need to have a very good pc. So how ah... nantilah. Wekekekeke... Well, i always start the game with Manchester united then i pick other team from other league.

Just Writing To Update

It's Tuesday, the 16th of September 2008. It also marks the 45th aniversary of the formation of Malaysia. Yep, Malaysia, the country i live and most of the readers of this blog live. The formation of Malaysia which includes Sabah & Sarawak falls on 16th September 1963. There's been an argument wether Sabah & Sarawak gains independent from British goverment. Any celebration??? As a respect to fellow muslim friends (who are fasting at this moment)all celebration for this day was postponed to 11st October 2008.

What in store for me??? Well, i'm trying to find a day for me to rest after a very Tiring week, last week. As most of you might know, My grandpa past away rather peacefully last weekend and there is a seven day of mourning, where we can't turn on any entertainment device (tv, radio), can't sleep... Have to follows all the rules, or else will be scoled by the elder. Just imagine, 7 days of not enogh sleep, makan nda teratur... hmmm... I need a rest... i really meant it. But when? It is so terrible to lost someone that is sooo close to you, but i knew he (granpa) will go in peace). God Bless Him.

Another thing that happen last week was the defeat of Manchester United against Liverpool. Hmmm... Same as last year where they start off soo badly, that let some pundits around the world to declare that the seasons was over for Manchester United... Tapi, Man. Utd prove everyone wrong when they retained the BPL title and even more, winning the Champions League. We have the last laugh!!! So to others, keep on laughing now, and see who will have the last laugh come May 2009.

Well, have to go now... don't have any idea whatsoever to write here as i am still blur after a very tiring week. One of my friend says to me yesterday... "Alang-alang juga ko datang karja. Bisuk cuti juga"... Yakan, why don't i think of that??? tapi thinking back, I am out for one whole week and i'm blur yesterday... kalau sampai lai hari tiga sia cuti, makin lah blur... Hahahahaha..

KaDuS Bilang:
Ada bah sia tebaca mo tukar kerajaan lah, crossover lah itu lah ini lah... tapi sia blum mo cakap banyak... takut nanti apa yang sia tulis kana manipulasi oleh urang len, end up me being detained by ISA. Wekekekeke... Not ready for that. Tapi i just like to see what will happen. Will it be through, will it not. Will he rule, will he not... Hmm... Ask me what i want? well, i just want to live in a peaceful country where there is no racial tension. I just want PEACE!!!

Finally... BERBATOV is A RED DEVIL!!!


After a summer long (DI SANALAH) transfer speculation, Finally, at the very end of the transfer dateline, Manchester United finally got the man that they've been targeting for so long. Yeah Dimitar Berbatov, a 30.5 Million Pound coup from Tottenham Hotspur. Bet the like of Manchester City and Real Madrid (although they did not tabled an official bid). I thought Manchester united will not sign anyone after a very quiet summer, but full of transfer speculation, especially on Ronaldo.

So, what kind of team that i can expect after the arrival of Dimi Berbatov? Finally Wayne Rooney have hi strike partner, the will form a three man Attack with Carlos Tevez, or could be even better they will formed the most devastating attacking force in the BPL with Cristiano Ronaldo? Just wait and see... Dimi might need time to settle in and adapt to the style of Manchester United attacking style. As one of the fans of Man. Utd, i really expect that they will do very well. more win more success and more honour. How will Dimi perform? Well, have to wait for the Biggest Rivarly of English Football, Liverpool vs Man. Utd!!!

The dateline of the European transfer windows shows two of the best last minute signing. One is Robinho moving to Manchester City and off course Dimitar Berbatov transfer to Man. Utd. It's look like that the city of Manchester is the big winner this BPL. Wakakakaka... Chelsea best capture was Deco (from Barcelona) although they almost got Robinho on for their team, but lost Shaun Wright-Philips who went back to Manchester City. Arsenal lost three of their player, good experienced midfielder, Mathieu Flamini, Alex Hleb and Gilberto Silva, but got Samir Nasir.

This season BPL will be one of the best in term of the variety of player and the influx of skills. Really hope to see the best of all the player especially to MANCHESTER UNITED.

KaDuS Bilang:
I thought the negotiations between Man.Utd and Dimi agent is off already, but last night, while wapping the net, i've read the news about finally Dimitar Berbatov move to Old trafford. Best juga nie... wekekekek... sia rasa Berbatov buli jadi one of United best player, but mo kana bagi dia masa juga lah... Every player need to adapt, so i guess Dimi pun perlu juga tu... Arrggghhh. Yang penting... GLORY-GLORY MANCHESTER UNITED!!!!

It's Back!!! The EPL Season 2008/2009

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!!!

Recent Update

Been a while... Been very busy with works and daily activities. Hehehehe... but i am happy with it. Macam mana penat pun, i still manage to smile, cuma some event i have to put aside lah... what to do. I missed Two weekends trip to Tenom because of my tight schedule. Sorry Olumis (kajen). Maybe next time. Saw the pic at Nels blog, wah... so enjoy you all ah... tapi tu tajau yang bikin takut tu... hahaha... Siopon. The last time i taste siopon was at Tom Kurus Engagement Party. Black out trus... never going to try that again!!!

Last week been my week without any sport activities. Have to come home early as i want to sort out some family matters. Normally on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, we went to play badminton here at the office badminton court. On Wednesday, i will join my office Futsal Team playing at Penampang Futsal. So most of my evening, i like to spend on sports. Only that two sports lah... no other... Oh we've already got our jersey, simple tshirts lah, but i just like it. Colour - orange. Hmmm... so i think my boss (Audit Department), Mr Charles M, will love it as it is their group (Passion) Official Colour... yalah tu boss... hahaha... i've requested my own number, tapi nda tau kana approve ka tidak... wekekekeke.. Team name, undecided yet... Still playing under the name SCC Futsal Team lah.

Cakap pasal futsal, it related directly to soccer. Next month will be yet another opening of the EPL season... Yeah. My Favorite team, MANCHESTER UNITED, as everyone have knew about it will be defending their EPL title won last season. Oh and yeah, the European Champions League... The only uncertain things is the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. Will he stay or will he goes. What decision will he made? I just don't know. So far no transfer move made by Sir Alex Ferguson, but most of the newspaper are speculating about the transfer of Dimitar Berbatov of Totenham Hotspurs to Man. Utd. Will he come? Only time will tell.. Alex Ferguson has said that he has made a bid to one player, but didn't revealed who. So Who will it be? Is it going to be Dimitar Berbatov? or Maybe other player, or a new unknown player to be groomed as the new Cristiano Ronaldo? Won't know until the start of the new season... Other team has started their transfer activities.

That's All lah...

EURO 2008: My Prediction

Hmmm... must be a lot of you out there "bersengkang mata sampai pagi" just to see EURO 2008. Okay kah? This time around i didn't saw any match so far. Only result, via radio, astro or via my phone. some shocking result for me was when Holland move on to the quarter-final in rather very easy way! Defeating Italy (World Cup 2006 Champion) and France (WC 2006 Runners Up, WC1998 & EURO 2000 Champ)! Kalau satu or two goal nda pa... but ini? til 3 - 4 gol... Soon after reaching the QF, they are considered Hot Favourite to lift the cup, only to be defeated by Russia in another shocking result, for me lah. A lot of my friend felt very disappointed about this result.

So here there are, the EURO 2008 Semi-Finalist!
GERMANY, TURKEY, RUSSIA & SPAIN

My prediction?
GERMANY vs TURKEY
- I'll go for a win by Germany, but not a big margin win. Maybe a slim one. but i would love to see GERMANY in the Final.

RUSSIA vs SPAIN
- I have to say SPAIN. Russia might have defeated Holland, but i don't see SPAIN losing this one. With Villa (David) and Torres (Fernando) doing a good job for SPAIN at the moment, RUSSIA defender might have problem couping with this two player. But, again it will not be a big win lah.. sama juga Slim win.

The dream Final, Germany vs Spain... But that is only my prediction lah. I'm not a football expert. Just like to play and watch Good Quality Soccer Match. Not some lousy game, yang sia pun teda mood mo tinguk walaupun kana kasi free.!!!

Okay... That's it...

It's Back To Haunt... AGAIN

What is back? what is embarrassing? It's the corruption

in soccer, especially here in Malaysia. I hate to talk about this to be frank,
but this is the thing that is happening and it is like a pandemic like it has no
cure whatsoever. Hairan, macam mana this people could wear their club jersey and still dare to took bribe to sell any game. Really immoral lah in my point of
view. If you wear your club jersey, you must wear it with pride! Ko tau yang ko
bawa nama club ko, so why must ambil rasuah? Kenapa mo jual game?

I don't know when Malaysia football were originallyaffected by this disease, tapi yang i remember in 1995 (13 years before) ithappen and it really affected the standard of soccer in Malaysia and it's league. More than 100 players and coaches were call on by the ACA (AntiCorruption Agencies) to facilitates investigation and a lot of player "kena buang daerah" or negeri. I thought after this kind of events, Malaysians would learn their lesson well and never repeat that kind of act again, tapi sayang, blum pun sempat mo naik balik, sudah buat lagi. Bila lah mo insaf? Sia pun tidak tau. So anybody would like to blame me for not enough support for my own National Team or National League? This is the answer! why should i support a league that is full of dishonest people who would rather sold their club just for the sake of money? Oh, so ada money problem? Nda kana bayar gaji? That was not an excuse to be honest lah...

When Malaysia soccer were badly hit by this pandemic, the number one reason, according to them lah, was tidak kana bayar gaji. I know, when you become a full time player, your rice bowl would be playing soccer and get paid. Tapi takanlah sampai mo jual tu game and drop all the dignity and trust that the fans put on you and your team? Is there no other option kah sampai mo ambil bribe? Nama profesional player, tapi tidak pun kasi tunjuk tu professionalism. Gosh... really don't know what there are thinking of.

Tidakkah derang sedar yang Soccer standard in Malaysia sudah jatuh pigi tahap yang paling rendah, selama sia idup. I still remember duuuuulu... tidak tau bila tapi adalah... Malaysia were ranked among the top 100 team in the world... now, kalau sia nda silap, numbur 170 sudah... jauh betul ketinggalan dengan team yang Malaysia selalu kasi kalah, says South Korea and Japan. Tu pun masi belum sedar... I don't know what these people are playing for? Nda kah derang ingin mo rasa yang Malaysia soccer standard sebaris dengantop league in Asia and buli attract players import yang lebih bagus untuk tambah kasih naik nama M-League? I don't think lah...

I'm here bukan mo condemned berabis those people involve (although some people might says, biarlah derang rasa). I'm here to express my feeling towards this immoral and really embarrassing things that happening in our country. Sia aware, i am a Sabahan and there were time that my state team were really badly affected because of the bribery. To beat Sabah that time was a satisfactory result for any team. Sabah were among the top team in Malaysia that time, but due to bribery and corruption, they become they lowest team with no hope of going back into the main league. Currently Sabah were in the Premier League equivalent to 2nd tier league in other country. A lot of Sabah player were either suspended or punished. Now although no Sabah player reportedly arrested so far, Sabah neighbor Sarawak were among the team where players has been questioned.


Solution? Well for me, kalau file system in a pc is reportedly corrupted and it affect the performance of my pc, i will try to repair it. But if the problem re-occurs, it leaves me with no others choice but FORMAT and re-install! No guarantee though, that the problem will not repeat, but with excellent care, i believe it will be save until, well sampai bila-bila lah... begitu juga dengan ni corruptions. FAM sepatutnya sudah sedar and tau apa mo buat, based on past experience. Buat dengan tegas, and of course adil. Bagus juga kalau kasi legalised to Betting, tapi sia tidak tau berapa ramai yang setuju. Kalau ada yang buka cadangan pasal legalised betting, i think belum pun sempat kana tabled di parliment, mimang sudah kana protest. So carilah cara lain... I only wish to see clean and quality football. Pandai-pandailah kamu...


KaDuS Bilang:
Sanggup juga jual negeri. Pas ni apa lai mo di jual? ikan basung? Susah juga sia
mo cakaplah... Soro-sorohon noh sondiri, haro oh tutok pakaiyon lah. Bukan pakai untuk buat benda-benda bodo macam nie... Hahahahahaha...

Glory-Glory Manchester United

Rare Goal From Spurs Goalkepper

The last time i saw a goalkepper score was by Peter Schmeichel, the former Manchester United goalie, dubbed as "The Great Dane". Not to forget the freekick brilliant of Jose Luis Chilavert, the former Paraguayan number 1 goalkepper and of course, Jorge Campos, the Mexican former goalie who can play as a striker and keep on using the number 1 jersey.

Recently, in an English Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspurs and Watford, another goalie score from about 75 yards of a freekick. I thought that the kepper, Paul Robinson was trying to aim to his attacking line, but the ball went on passed the attack and Watford defend, bounce on the ground and went directly into Watford net. Quite an embarassing moment for Ben Foster, the number 3 choice goalkepper of England National team, and on-loan from Manchester United. You may see the goal below. By the way, Paul Robinson is the current number one goalkepper for England National Team and due to represent his country in the next European Championship Qualifying match against Israel and Andorra.



What do you think? how many time does you see a goalkepper score a goal, off a freekick, from 75 yards? Its was far better than Jose Luis Chilavert normal goal, but as good as David Beckham's wonder goal against Wimbledon, way back in 1996. I do adore this goal as one of the great goal in EPL and one of the worst blunder made by a goalkepper! Hahahahaha, Pity for Ben Foster.
