Twittering at my blog II~

Hi again in a short while,

Seems like I'm just posting short post when I should have posted a long one. Haha... I'll most probably be putting up lengthy post during weekend. I try to make up for all the dissatisfaction my readers got from my blog.

Been thinking of getting myself a twitter account but that could cause trouble for my readers to keep up with me. It's already hard updating my blog (due to my laziness) but my post at such length seems kinda out.

Let me confuse myself this week.

Waiting to get my futsal shoes debut pictures.

Twittering at my blog~

Hi...

Just to share a short post since I'm just that bored at work. Waiting for my supervisor to come and give me simple yet tedious work the likes of formatting pc, installing software, look for drivers, set up database and so on.

Been hanging on the hopes of getting tasks related to codes, programming and fixing bugs. Those seems a lil tid bit more challenging than what I am doing now.

Why the title so? Thought of just sharing a short post. Will Keep you guys updated on my status.

Lesson 1: Futsal vs Football vs American Football?

Good morning class,

This post is highly educational. If you find this post boring in anyway, you're not into ball games. Ok let's get into this. The simplest way to differentiate each of these games are the playing area, futsal in a court, football on the pitch, and American football on an even bigger field.


On the left where you see numbering on the field is the American football field, those number shows how near you are to scoring points.



On your right, it's the futsal turf court. Ok, you might be asking what's a turf court? Turf courts are those courts that are carpetted with artificial grass/syntetic grass like the one you see here. There are other kind of courts such as syntetic surface (mainly used for world class tourneys), concrete and parquet floor.


Do you still need me to show you football pitch? Football pitch are those you see in Barclay's Premier League, Spanish La Liga, German BundesLiga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1 and Liga Malaysia. And to save you the trouble of searching, here you go, the pitch on your right.

Both American football and football are played 11 players a side while futsal is only played with 5 players a side. Though the numbers can be different when you're playing unofficially. It's all up to your creative mind and there are multitude variance of the sports. During my primary school years, me and my friends played football only on half of the pitch due to insufficient number of players we have. We'll get ourselves into a group of defenders and offensive members. We'll keep defending/attacking the goal depending on which side we're on and we'll get a quick football game.

That's all for lesson 1, have fun getting into the games.

Here comes my new babies~

Hey yo...

This post is all about my new babies. Haha... they are not the ones in the picture that i posted previously (those... i think it's too expensive la). But none the less i love these babies a whole dang lot. Look at how sexy they are.

And they are the ADIDAS SUPER SALA VIII. Just look at their seductive sex appeal, how they make people drool over them. Even when i'm working... i kept wanting to go home fast to look at them. Besides getting myself a nice pair of shoes, I even grab a futsal ball for me to train myself.

Oh... by the way, there are difference between a futsal ball and a football pitch ball. One of which that is quite obvious would be the size. Pitch ball is size 5 while a futsal ball is more like a size 4 ball. Another not so obvious difference is the rebound/bounce off the ground, the futsal ball has a weak bounce as compared to pitch ball due tothe size of the playing area. Even the futsal shoes have different types and are different to pitch boots (notice when i mention futsal, it's shoes and when it's football, it's boots). I'll get into that in my future post... so... keep yourselves updated.

These shoes may be debutting later tonight and of course I'll be writing about the experience and the joy. Hopefully my weakened and bruised foot would not kill a good debut like this.

My Tough Old Shoes~ They remain a legend

Hoo Hee...

This is a story about my tough battered shoes. It started when my friend bought a futsal shoes which i think is quite cheap, RM70 or around that region. That's when i wanted a pair of my own. And so... i went bargain hunting and manage to get an Umbro futsal shoes at that price. I was very happy and a lil bit a confuse at that time, what was I buying them for? And soon, I joined all my friends for regular futsal sessions.

At first, I was not too familiar with the shoes and miss kicks were one of my top skills. My footing was a lil bit off when i'm with shoes. Sessions after sessions things become better and i regained my usual footy capability.

When i purchased these shoes, my goalkeeping skill was deteriorating. That's the time i adapt my goalkeeping shot stopping skill into a defender's anticipation. Throughout 3/4 years, I'm shifting towards an attacker and a more offensive player. Goalkeeper --> Defender --> Defensive Midfielder --> Winger --> Striker --> Winger. This is about how my position shift. Now... playing generally everywhere on the court. Been enjoying the regular futsal sessions until few weeks back when suddenly my shoes broke apart.

Remember the previous post i had about the futsal game which i scored quite a number. That's the very last game they served me and yes... they served me well. From the condition of my shoes, you will know that my right foot is my dominant foot as there are way less damages on the left shoe. Both pictures are of the inside of my shoes. When they became what they have become, it really hurts my heart. Then... I started playing barefoot again. It was not like the old times, my foot hurt as i take shot. It's like barefoot is something i'm not familiar with although it's something somewhat the way i used to play.

You will all get to see the latest addition in my futsal family in the coming post. I really love them very much. Wait patiently ya.

Uncertainty~

Hi all,

I'd been thinking this or that all the time. I think most of you had been experiencing the same thing at least once in your life time. Sometimes even after making the first decision, you will eventually get yourselves back into the zone of uncertainty. Thinking about "am I making the right choice?" or even "am I doing the right thing?". Yeah... things often happen that way.

After typing this far... Me myself drop into that uncertainty as I am not sure what have I been typing about or what am I gonna type next.

*As I sit in front of my laptop, gazing blankly into the hypnotizing television of mine, things kinda make lil to no sense*

This post is gonna be that pointless, pointless to the point of no return. Guess my mind had gone into THAT state... clear blue sky. It's as clear as a clear blue sky, most of ya might be thinking crystal is clearer. BUT... is it as calm as the sky... with breeze gently touches your skin... it carries your worries away. Haha... some of you might turned oh-god-he's-gonna-crap-again state by now.

Anyway, things above are why I like to look blankly into the sky. Even when I'm driving, playing futsal, walking and practically everything. I sometimes do look up in the office and felt I'm on an operation table in the surgeon room as those lights are quite blinding (as some of you might not know, I have a lengthy record with quite a few hospital. Will get into this in the future).

Ok... back to our title. There are times like that when you have to share it with all your friends, get their opinions. Some might give you things you don't like but it shows that they care. All the uncertainties kept to yourself will be something hard and daunting. As my best friend, Zam always says "sharing is caring". The credit goes to you dude... although the thing you always wanted me to share with you is my moolah. Hope to be seeing you again my friend.

Path crosses in the end

My Birthday~

Hey ya...

As some of you might know, my burfday just went past. Me, my gal and my family went to Dome's cafe... wee, it's food feast. As you see... me and my gal shared this... errr... fish something... shoot... I'm just myself... forgetting the name all the time. the next time i need to directly blog after i had the meal. If i'm not mistaken, it should be fish fillet with butter sauce or something really similar. You guy's just gotta go there and try them. On the left, that's my cup of drink. Chocolate blend with coffee. The sweet scent of chocolate added to the aroma of coffee, can you just smell how lovely that could be. My gal chose Vienna, fresh aromatic coffee with chocolate powder spread on top, the cup behind is it.

On yours, yours and your right is my cute gal that i would like to share everything, my whole life with. Some of you may have seen her before and some have yet to. Let me make a brief introduction to her for few of you. She's Jo Ling, my gal, that's all. Haha... it wouldn't be nice if i write everything about her here. You'll just have to explore into the part of world we shared to the public.

Ok... let's continue with our food. After that scrumptious meal, i got my slice of cake. Don't ask me what it's called... i have no idea as i'm not involved in the selection but this is how it looks like:
Looks nice isn't it? The lower layer is chocolate cake, and the white part is kinda like a mixture of white chocolate and cheesecake and those on top are chocolate chips. Haha... or perhaps i got everything mix up. Shared that slice of cake with everyone. It's just that fun. This is the celebration i got from my family.

Another celebration was from my Uni friends... they (technically) bought me a pair of futsal shoes that i loved so much. I really do appreciate that but it's really too expensive for me accept them. Push that aside, we celebrated by having a dinner/supper/dinper/supner or whatever you called it, the combination of both realm. Looky at our food :See the food, mine sounded very grand. It's Cheese baked rice with Norwegian Salmon in Danish Cheese. How much more grand can it sound from Kim Gari? It comes together with tasteless dessert, a Bosch soup (my cream soup habis dy) and a cup of cold yin yong. Oh oh... by the way, these are the babies i wanted:
Look at how beautiful it is... i'm looking for the same exact color Nike T-5 sized 7.5UK. It's the rarest of it's kind. Please i beg all souls out there to get me a pair... as i would pay you any amount... i mean ANY AMOUNT
... below RM300. It's just that hard to find.

Actually there's another celebration with my school friends, i took no pictures but i would like to mention their names here, teng kiu to Weng Hong, PoE, KokHong, KokHoe, Lum, CheeHung, PeiLing, SooMei and all of you that had given me good wishes. I really appreciate them. Oh... i just remembered i managed to make some of you out there to hutang me present... Hahaha... I'll be waiting for them and i'll keep bugging you till you gimme. Haahahahahahaa

P.S: Ops... forgot to tell the story of my tough old shoes. They'll most prolly be featured in the coming post.

Funny Plate Number~

Haha...

Was thinking of sharing this funny and stupid story with all my friends. Last Saturday after our usual futsal session, one of my friend talk about the customizable car plate number in Hong Kong and America (dan yang sewaktu dengan-nya). He was in Hong Kong and he saw plate number like "HI DUDE". I was wondering how great it was but then me and another 2 friends of mine figures it would be funny when the following few scenarios happen:

BEWARE - Laugh at your own risk, I do not take responsibility if you laugh your guts out/admitted into Hospital Bahagia/burst your stomach/etc. Don't say I don't warn you.

Scenario 1:
A car speeding down the highway with the plate number "YOU GUESS".
Police 1: Hq, a red proton wira seen speeding down the federal highway.
Police 2: got you, what's the plate number
Police 1: YOU GUESS
Police 2: It's no time for joke, please tell me the plate number
Police 1: YOU GUESS *with a slightly higher tone*
Police 2: Eh... stop joking la... want me to slap you is it?
Police 1: Pretend I didn't call =.=
Before you know it, the car already arrived in Penang.

Scenario 2:
A red car speeding down the highway with the plate number "NOT RED"
Police 1: Hq, a red proton wira seen speeding down the federal highway.
Police 2: got you, what's the plate number
Police 1: NOT RED
Police 2: not red? Then, what's the color of the car?
Police 1: red
Police 2: Ok, what's the plate number then?
Police 1: NOT RED
This scenario may repeat/loop for a few hours until
Police 2: are you playing with me?
Police 1: Pretend I didn't call =.=
By the end of this scenario, the car would probably arrived in Beijing

Yeah yeah... kinda lame for some of you. I was just sharing a joke. About the shoes story... maybe in the next post.

Another Late Post~

Haha,

It's another late post again. It's been quite some time for a new post now aight. Ok, here we go. Been to quite some place one of which is Chili in Midvalley. Not quite sure what's the full name of that place so just let's call it Chili. It was friday night, 15/5... I was working back then. Work finished at 5:30, but the gathering was at... 8 i think... can't remember much la... old already ma. After work, i just took a long nap in the office. Woke at the perfect time and start heading to Midvalley Megamall. When i reached that time, the queue was quite long. Took us a long time to get places in there. We had quite a meal. Me as usual, Lamb Chopping all the way all the time.

Ze pictuarrrr below are Ze Lamb Chop, Ze Fish n' Chips, Ze Roti Canai?? (can't remember the name of that roti canai thing) and also Ze Chocolate crust on top of Ze Ice Cream on top of Ze Brownie, Chocolate ice cream brownie thingy that I also forget the name. Looks nice and yummy no? After the filling meal, we went for a movie. That night was the Premiere of Angels and Demons (imagine me flapping wings and then making a horn gesture, that's what i do when i say Angels and Demons). The movie was OK OK la to me but it's very boring to my friend sitting next to me, Lai. He was expecting more action but... as most of you know, this is just not that kind of movie.

After the movie, it's already 3am in the morning. Guess what, the place i parked my car is different from everyone. Haha, I have to walk my way through the dark halls of Midvalley alone. On top of that, my stomach has to ache at such beautiful time. What more can I say... of course look for toilet la. The toilet was so silent and you can hear the water dripping... and the humming of strange song... Oh... the humming was me... hahahaaaa. Kinda in a gila-gila mood now.

That aside... my futsal companion finally broke into pieces T.T... that is my futsal shoes. Got time i'll take a picture for your viewing. Without them, my game wasn't as i wanted. Control is out, braking gone, shot painful, and nothing seems to be right. Barefoot is the way i used to play but now, it's something unfamiliar to me.

I think that's it from me now. One of my future post will be about these lovely shoes that have endured tough times with me.
