Can I just come over and lend my shoulder?



Weee.. I'm so happy today cause I just received three books of Twilight series which I ordered last week from E-Bay. Bought it only RM27 each. MPH price is RM35.50 for Book 1, RM39.50 for Book 2 and RM41.90 for Book 3. Would you mind calculating for me how much I saved? RM 35.90. MPH sells the books online and you'll get 20% discount. But I would still save RM12.52. Told you, buying at E-Bay is worth it. (^_^)v

Anyway, I've been tagged by padfoot to do the following meme. So here it goes!

We, the supporters wore yellow attires which was absolutely cool. Sometimes we looked like Maybank employees, but most of time we looked like Digi Mascots. Hahaha. I didn't have any yellow dress or shirt so I had to buy a new piece on the same day we went to JB.

We arrived UTM at around 1 am. UTM is soooo wide, there was no signboards to lead us to the hostels and we were lost quite a time but Shidi was great enough to find the blocks. Ah.. I was so exhausted because I barely ate that day (only had my breakfast and a light snack for dinner). I went straight to bed as we needed to wake up early to see the tournament.

[photo removed]

Anyway the tournament was held successfully but I noticed the participants were much lesser. After it ended, me, kak Mar and Melal followed Zura who was staying at his brother's house in Masai. We managed to drop by at Bern's house (nearly cancelled though, as we were rushing for a formal dinner that night). Tercapai jugak impian nak pergi umah ko, Bern. :) Thanks for granting my wish. The noodles and 'lengkong' (yeah, takmau sebut agar2 dah.. lengkong sounds better. hehe..) were delicious. I didn't know Bern has such a *ehem* jambu *ehem* brother, pretty sister and definitely a very very lovely mother (I love talking with old people, I don't know why).

[photo removed]

We spent only half an hour or so at his house, then we had to rush back to Zura's house cause it was very late already. So yeah, we arrived late for the dinner but it was okay. The food was great.. Eee.. ada tempe, taufu goreng.. my favourites! Kitorang disajikan dengan persembahan zapin oleh kanak-kanak (they're not just children, they're state champions).. sangat comel!! Seeing their performance, I couldn't stop squealing and grinning. I wish I could share with you the video but my streamyx sucks so bad I can't open youtube. Maybe I'll try something else, we'll see if I have time (read: I never got time).

The next day (Sunday), we went to several places. I was glad I joined Melal's car instead of MMU bus cause we had more time to go wherever Shidi brought us (Shidi is Johorian and he was incharge as our tourist guide :P ). Edi provided us walkie-talkie so that we could communicate easier (without being charged of course). We laughed like crap while in the cars because Snapi, Edi and Faiz couldn't stop talking nonsense and cracking silly jokes.

[photo removed]

I don't remember my last time visiting JB so I couldn't tell how different it was from my last visit. We stopped by and visited a few places including this one place Shidi used to 'merendek' haha. We also visited his former school, one of Rumah Persatuan Silat Cekak Hanafi and Shidi brought us to his granny's house (nice Mee Bandung!). I won't forget how me, Faiz, Kak Mar, Kasim and Melal laughed into tears because of the stupid jokes Faiz and I created. Sorry Shidi if we were too noisy. And sorry too that you missed it. :P While driving around the village area, Edi, Faiz and I couldn't stop feeling like we were in Manjoi (it's Faiz's and my village. And all three of us are Perakians). It looked a bit like the same atmosphere. I felt a little homesick but nevermind that.

[photo removed]


To sum up it all, I had a great time in JB eventhough the next day I fell sick. Haha. I bought a pair of new shoes, little teddies for people I care for, and a small cushion! My personal thanks to Edi and Faiz for teaching me about new animals I didn't know they exist. Haha. And also to Melal, for being generous enough to reserve a seat for me in her car.

Enough for now. I need to go home early as I feel so dizzy and woozy (come on, I skipped only a few medication demmit).

Till then.



p/s: more photos will be updated later. [too lazy]

Count that blessing.




Finally, my dream came true.

Finally, I got to see my favourite footballer live on the pitch.

Ye, aku tau dah lama lepas.. tapi nak cite jugak, tak kire. :P

Actually I applied for a leave on that day so that I wouldn't have to rush to Shah Alam to see the match. But, I don't know if it should be called as lucky or not, but I was not well on that Monday, so I went to see a doctor and found out my blood sugar was low. Padan la aku rasa weng-weng dan pitam for a few seconds. Ye ye slama ni aku cut sugar (especially rice) sebab sedara-mara aku ramai diabetes. Ter-over cut la pulak kan. :P

So I got two days MC (Monday and Tuesday) and I had to run a blood test because the doctor was concerned about something. So okay the result was not so good cause he found out I got blood infection. Entah macamana aku bole dapat tah.. My platlet was higher than normal rate. So he wanted me to run a full blood test. Luckily I have no problem with needles. :P

I should rest for the whole week tapi tak bole lah sebab workload bertimbun-timbun. Aku pergi gak keje ari Rabu dengan Jumaat. Mujur tak pitam lagi hari Rabu tu weng habis. So since aku dah dapat MC untuk hari aku pergi tengok Chelsea match tu, aku pun suruh team lead aku reject leave application aku.. rugi woo kalau dia approve, ilang satu annual leave.

So on Tuesday, which was the same day I knew I had blood infection, I went to Shah Alam all by myself at around 5pm and drove straight away to UiTM to pick up my sister who is also a big fan of international football (she's supporting Werder Bremen and Germany, and her favourite player is Miroslav Klose who has transferred to Bayern Munich and broke her heart into pieces just like Deco did to me).

Luckily padfoot and her sister had reached stadium much earlier so she promised to reserve our seats. Muchos gracias, darling! My sis and I reached stadium at around urmm.. 6pm I guess. The stadium was still empty, only a few people were already in.. most of the people were still loitering outside.

With padfoot.



I don't support Chelsea, so does my sister. I came to see only Deco and Scolari whereas my sister was dying to see Ballack. So we had nothing to buy.. no caps, no blue jerseys, no scarfs etc. I would love to buy my sis anything she liked but she claimed there is no way she would betray her team. lol.

With my sis.



I must say I was completely stunned by Deco's appearance. I just couldn't believe my eyes.. I couldn't believe I was actually looking at him.. not on tv screen.. it was live.. all live.. I had a hard time to accept the fact that all of sudden I had my dream came true.. To be frank, I never dreamt I would get a chance to meet him.. never. I did wish though, that how great it would be to meet him. But damn, my wish came to reality.

It's just marvellous.

The game.. well well, hurmm.. previously, I never enjoyed watching Chelsea in any match so it bored me quite a bit except all the moments when Deco had the ball. He was super cool, playing so good, looking so delicious perfect. I was so much in love with the combination between him and Lampard. Anyway, Chelsea players semua macam kena salai! Kulit merah habis.. tak biasa dengan cuaca Malaysia yang panas membahang ni. Hehe.

after the match ended.




Ooh, Malaysia played well too. Good attempts to shoot a goal but obviously they're no match compared to high-experienced Cech. But Chelsea managed to score 2 goals only. I expected for at least *cough* six *cough*. Boo Chelsea.. haha ok sorry.

And damn you're right, padfoot.. the Mexican wave during the break was super exciting!

Overall, I was truly glad I had a great time with my sister. The main reason I bought the tickets is because of her. I was glad I made her so happy that night eventhough she was frustrated Ballack didn't play. She was hoping he was going to play on the second half but I ensured her that wasn't going to happen cause Ballack came out wearing sandals.

We left the stadium around 11.30, made a few wrong turns before we finally reached UiTM. :P I was going back to Cyberjaya alone so it was kinda freaky but I had my mom calling in every five minutes before I finally reached the highway. I was not so keen driving in Shah Alam, I got lost everytime. That night, I was counting on my instinct. Haha. Giler.. tapi Alhamdulillah selamat sampai rumah lebih kurang pukul 1 pagi.

Thanks to a friend of mine who was concerned enough about me. ^_^

And to you too, padfoot. (",)



p/s: I'll tell about Wajadiri tournament and my trip to JB if I have time.
