Auuummmm!

Went to watch Harimau Malaya against Singapore match for the 2^nd leg of World Cup Qualifier at Bukit Jalil stadium last Thursday night. Yup, it was 1-1 draw which means, Singapore advance to the third round by 6-4 aggregate. I was one of 85000 peoples who believe that we can make it through this time around. It was sad and disappointing that we’re now out of the game.

Outside Stadium Bukit Jalil

We were already had disadvantage even before the game - Nor Shahrul was still injured, Aidil wasn’t fit enough to lead the defense team (he did play but only to limp off midway through the first half) and Safiq had to miss this game for getting red card in the first round. Heh, I wasn’t in the right place to say anything about our players since I only watched a couple of match. But as stated by the press, we were lacking in defense – there’s no doubt about it. Though, Khairul Fahmi definitely is an outstanding goalkeeper. His appearances never disappoint me and he proved it again that night, saving those dangerous attempts, one after another. Safee Sali did well as always by scoring our only one goal.  I’ve came to love Amirul Hadi and S. Kunanlan as they keep on ‘be there’ for the team.

The game could be fun (and maybe help making the losing less bitter) if Singapore players weren’t so such pain in the…. I think both Malaysia players and fans were getting furious at Singapore players for trying to waste time. Every “injured” player was stretchered off out the field but seconds later they would jump back up and re-enter the pitch. Like what the heck? They throw their antics with every push and contact they had with Malaysia team. That was so freaking annoying. Humph! Anyway, what's done is done. Although we lost, I’m still proud of the boys. I hope they'll do well in the future~

The Tigers! Auuummmm!

Aaaannnddd…. it was my first time watching soccer match in stadium and I must say that I love and hate it, both at the same time. Watching the game live is something new to me as I can see clearly the whole field (yeah, I got the best spot in the world!). There’s a big screen for closer view on the players. What I dislike about it was that, there was no playback during the game. Since everything happened so fast, I couldn’t see/missed the details of incident, thus haltering me from making analysis whether it was a foul or not (cheh, ayat budget :P).

And the crowd! Seeing the stadium full with more than 85,000 people wearing black and yellow was simply a spectacular view. Cheering was fun, I had my voice at the top of my lung shouting ‘MALAYSIA!’ throughout the game. And every time the ball went past quarter of the field towards Singapore goal, everyone would stand up spontaneously - like a reflect action. And sat down again when nothing happen. But people on the front seat always took forever to sit back again, so people at the back will start cheering, ‘DUDUK! DUDUK! DUDUK!’ It was really funny. But my favorite memory was when we were singing our national anthem. To see whole Malaysian – Malay, Chinese, Indian - come together to support the national soccer team. It was a beautiful sight.

With the crowd before the game started. 

I want a jersey too!

For those first-timer, who want to experience watching any match in stadium, let me share some handy tips/information that might help you.

1. Wear a comfortable clothes and shoes. The atmosphere will be slightly hot so you don’t want to be drowning in your sweats. Cotton material always the best.
2. If you buy an open seat ticket, try to enter the stadium as early as you can to get seat with the best view. If you can find exit 2N, that area got a nice view~
3. Bring drinking water in your own container. Mineral water in plastic bottle is not allowed to bring into the stadium.
4. Avoid bringing children under 5 years old because stadium is a REALLY crowded place. It can become extremely dangerous especially during entering the narrow gate where people were shoving and pushing.
5. Putra LRT is the fastest way to get to Bukit Jalil but you have to endure the pushing and shoving. Traffic was pretty hectic if you opt to drive. It took us an hour just to get out of the parking lot~

Yeah, hope that helps.

A Trip to Pengkalan Balak

We already have our first vacation for this year and it was a 2 days and one night trip to Pengkalan Balak, Malacca!

So the original plan was to spend a night at Seremban (at one of my aunt’s house) on Friday night and convoying to Malacca on the Saturday morning, breakfast at the R&R, should be reaching there before 11, a quick check in so the kids (that including me XD) can go straight to the beach, barbeque and karaoke session at night, and the next morning would be a sukaneka, then we could have a photography session at the beach, lunch before check out, maybe pay a visit to Malacca town before heading back to Kuala Lumpur. Sounds like a pleasant trip right? :D

Though I didn’t pack my bag until the last minute, I already have a thought of what to bring, so packing went smooth. And excitedly, we left home around 9pm.

 But kita merancang, Allah yang menentukan….

Our car broke down at Jalan Mahameru. Took more than an hour for AAM to come only to tell us that we need to take the car to a workshop. So we ditched Seremban plan and just head to Kg Pandan to another aunt’s house since it was the nearest at exactly 12am. Only then I know that I didn’t bring my sleeping pants T__T  Thank god mum did brought extra sweat pants so I’m safe from a pants-less night, kekekek~

It was just a minor problem; dad came back from workshop around 11am. We reached Seremban at 12.30 and still have to wait for the rest of the convoy team, so we decided to lunch and have a walk at Teluk Kemang beach. Nothing much to see cause the beach was short, we did everything we could to keep ourselves entertained by taking ridiculous pictures.

Lol, mum was so cooperative~

We only made a move around 2pm and it was raining lightly when we reach our chalet. It was a small room with a queen and single bed. There was a verandah connecting every 3 units and my younger cousins and niece were having a total fun climbing the divider from one verandah to another. The room was so clean and tidy and I’m honestly happy with it. The only thing I’m not pleased was that our room have only air conditioner - there was a fan but it was broken. There was no remote to control the temperature either! Imagine me being in an air-conditioned room on a raining day – that gives me a slight headache.  I was having a terrible flu that night. I was sneezing non-stop and was having trouble sleeping!

Help grilling the chickens (nampak sangat berlakon kan? :D)

And the rain kept on pouring for the next 24 hours and it ruined the remaining plan. We still have the barbeque and karaoke session that night despite the rain. But apart from that, we couldn’t do anything but to stay in the room. Luckily Mieyra bought the play-card when we’re at Teluk Kemang, so I learned how to play Cho Tai Tee. Kind of addicted to this game because I’m so good at it. I should be in a tournament or something, muahaha~ But that’s all we ever do. Some of my cousins went to the beach that morning, even though it was raining. They even had a banana boat ride! I wished I could put my nose somewhere safe and went for a ride too. Then balik baru pasang balik, can ah? :D

It was raining when we had our lunch on Sunday. It was still raining when we check out from the chalet. Still raining when we leave Malacca, still raining when we reach KL T_T I'm so glad that I'm wearing a multi-layered clothes - keeps me warm throughout the journey.  

Anyway, how did you guys spend your rainy weekend? Seems like I’m gonna be spending my holiday with indoor activities. Whatever you do guys, please take care of yourself. Drink lots of water and take vitamin C! >> More like advices for myself, hehe.

And oh! Happy Chinese New Year!

Dude, that was so not cool!

Someone promised me to take me out last Sunday, but the plan was cancelled last minute (erghh, boleh baran bila ingat balik, grr…) but being me who will not let some stupid mood ruined my Sunday, I decided to take my sister to watch movie~

But actually the original plan was going to Jalan TAR to look for lace and waist-band for our home-made skirt, and then drop by BREM mall for movie. But it was raining (luckily not so heavy) when we reached Sogo, so we decided to just window-shopping. I found a cute organizer so I was glad! Then, after an hour wondering around, we were too tired to walk to the textile shops so we just ditch the lace and waist-band plan and just went straight out to BREM mall.

We watched Khurafat because we’re suckers for horror movie. It was an okay movie with good-but not-so-detail plot. There were still a few things that doesn't make sense but at least my prediction went slightly wrong and the ending kind of shocked me. As for the cast, I’m not very fond of Syamsul’s acting. He’s good looking alright, but there was something off with the way he delivered his dialogue. I dunno, it was monotone. And I still think that Liyana Jasmay wasn’t ready for a wife role just yet. She looked fifteen years old to me! And perhaps her role in Niyang Rapik is too strong that I’m having a goosebump every time she appeared on screen, haha. As for the ghost scene, it was hella scary. I closed my eye most of the time. I almost didn’t know what happen in the corpse room because I closed my eyes the ENTIRE time, kekekek.

And I have to complain that the male audiences at the back were too loud. They laughed every time the ghost came out. Can you imagine how many times they did that? It was a scary movie, do the math. It was really disturbing. I had the same experience when I watch Niyang Rapik but it wasn’t this bad. Why do they need to do that? Trying to be cool in front of girlfriend? Dude, it’s not cool, okay? Go rent DVD if you gonna act like that. Sekian terima kasih.

Karma Is A Boomerang

Seriously guys, how do we get rid of fleas on a carpet?

I remember complaining to my mum that our new house have lots of mosquito. I kept on having more than 10 mosquito’s bite all over my leg. I used mosquito repellent but they won’t go away. They still bite me and it’s so irritating, I could punch someone for that. My mum said it was funny because she don’t get a single bite. How unfair!

Then last night as I was texting my friend, I sat on my bed, both feet on my fluffy carpet, I started to feel itchy again. So I looked down to my feet and saw these little creatures were jumping happily from the carpet onto my feet. They were many!

I think they’re from my cats but this fleas are smaller compared to the one on cat. The funny thing is, when I first bought the carpet, my cats won’t step on it as if the carpet will hurt them. They never come close to the carpet, no matter what. If I purposely bring them to the carpet, they will cling to me for dear life - will even scratch me if they have to. I thought it was funny how they trying too much to avoid the carpet, I should really put them on video (it must be karma for treating them that way~). Now I know the reason for their weird behavior and it scares me as much as it amused me.

So I vacuumed my carpet but the damn thing was still there. Should I throw away the carpet? But it’s so fluffy and pretty and awesome and fluffy and it makes my room look so pretty and comfy.  Bottom line, I don’t want to throw it away, okay? Should I spray something, like my cat’s flea shampoo? Will it ruin the material? Or should I send the carpet to laundry service? Will that makes them go away? Should I throw my cats instead? Lol. I cannot live without them. End of story.

I'll find a way to deal with this. If you guys have any idea how to get rid of this thing, let me know okay? 

p/s: Should use this opportunity to introduce my cats :D.

Everyone, say hi to the lovely and motherly Keket aka Mama.

And this is arrogant-stuck up April (pronounce Air-Pill) aka Adik.
