Tom Hicks and George Gillette, take your filthty money and get lost please. Stay away from the club and thanks for nothing!

Not to see you both again.

Many people ushered in the new year with new hope, for me, the shits still linger on, the same way, just on different calender year. It has been a mostly unhappy and stressed year and the trend continues very much the same at the crack of dusk of 2008. I dont feel like i am in control anymore, pressures are mounting every corner and i am living each day less and less happy. The only positive when the previous year gone by is maybe that i now have 365 days less to endure the shits. If i have enough courage, i could already been in a rectangular wooden box.

RIP

Lol. We should be seeing this coming for a long time now and finally it happened! It was a grave mistake to appoint Steve Mclaren as the England manager in the very first place. He was poor as a club manager, despite spending like the big guns, his club, Middlesborough were always poor and even got relegated! The persons who choosed him as the England manager should also be sacked as well in my opinion, they are just as clueless.

At least Mclaren leaves after breaking record of some sort; the shortest reign of an England manager at 18 months and just 19 games in charge. I still vividly remembers the smirk on his face when he was first introduced as the new England manager in May 2006, as if telling us “hey, i got the job, you suckers!”

Fast forward 18 months, and we get the chance to wipe that smirk off his face and tells him loud and clear “hey, you lost the job, you sucker!!!!”

Notice i havent mentioned much about England going out despite the title? This is because i couldnt care less about them not making to Euro2008. In fact, it is better they didnt make it so the Liverpool players get more time to rest for the new season.

Happy Day.

—————————————————————————->>> This way out!

Wow….i am so excited about this news i want to cry!!! At last Proton has found a way to crawl out from certain death!!!

The brilliant Proton team has managed to find a way to reach out to billions of potential car buyers.

Forget all the squeaking and creaking noises so associated with Proton cars, now Proton will be associated with something really more peaceful. What’s more peaceful than associating yourself to a beautiful religion like Islam. So here comes Proton’s “Islamic Cars”!!!!

If you are not bothered to read those news, then i can give you a brief summary.

Basically, Proton says they are planning to build “Islamic Cars”. It says the cars will have a couple of distinctive and super genius features that will make them “Islamic”. The features are:

- A compass that will show you where Mecca is

- A storage compartment for Quran (Muslim Holy Bible)

- A storage compartment for headscarves (wore by muslim women)

Wow…..see how genius our Malaysia Proton management and marketing team is!!! How no one ever thought about these features and marketing them to potentially billions of muslims worldwide is beyond me. When you associate something with religion, it is always beautiful. Religion is always above everything else, even to things as important as your own lives!

No, no, no…..if you think this is a joke, its true.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7089707.stm

Apparently, not only i find it unbelievable the level of high intelligence of Proton, VW also finds themselves so embarassed and humbled because they couldn’t think of such brilliant idea themselves after so many years in car manufacturing business that they decided unnecessary anymore to pursue a partnetship deal with our ailing Proton.  Afterall, Proton doesnt need their knowledge anymore, you dont learn from someone inferior to you.

Maybe they can throw in a special edition “Islamic Cars” later on which includes a extended boot area of 15 feet in length to accommodate a luxurious cushioned prayer mat allowing a “Pray Anytime Anywhere” concept, then for sure they would be earning from their brilliant new car and it’s many variations for centuries to come.

However, i do hope the Mecca Compass works longer than our Proton Wira’s speedometers though. You wont like to have angry people chasing you down for making them prayed at the wrong direction..

Anyway, Syabas Proton!!!!

Our Prime Minister very proudly announced a few days ago one Sheikh Muzhaphar Shukor to be the first Malaysian Angkasawan (astronaut). However, in reality he will only be in space as a “Spaceflight Participant” according to NASA. “Spaceflight Participant” or also known as space tourist is a vacancy you can acquire if you have the MONEY (USD 30 million) and if you are healthy enough to withstand some massive G-force pressures on your body. So, i really dont understand why are some people so proud of all this! He is neither an astronaut nor a cosmonaut, he is just a space travelling tourist paying (malaysian tax payers’ money) his way up there! Lol, what is there to be proud of? He is contributing nothing other than just wasting space in space, wasting our hard earned money in the process too!! This is another example of Malaysia Boleh mentality, doing useless idiotic thing so we have our names in the history book for the sake of it. Maybe in reality, they are actually really celebrating the first malay in space! Hooray! Syabas!

Woooooooi, dont forget the Wau Bulan, Congkak and Nasi lemak while up there!

You know your country is ****ed up, when you see this :

You can see it from http://www.mps.gov.my/hanjing/dog.html, or you can go to the main site http://www.mps.gov.my and follow the scrolling text. This is the official website of Majlis Perbandaran Selayang. Impossible? Believe it!

You see, there are some people in this country that are so very selfish. The things they dont like or dont like to see, they will want to get rid of them no matter what, without taking into considerations of other people feeling who might like those things. Things i mentioned here are not so taboo stuffs or illegal things like drugs, porno material or any dangerous weapons. We are only talking about dogs (mens’ best friends!) and pigs (wow i love that bacon and ham, yummy!). They want to get rid of things they dont like (but other people like) by giving childish reason or sometimes, they dont even need to give any, they just do it as they please!!  When the issue gets heated and gets out of hand, then comes the Tai Chi masters to shove the responsibilities to each other. When the issue falls to the highest authority of the country, most of the time you will get the now famous answer “I dont know” and there goes your concerns, worries and angsts getting buried 80 feet down the shit hole never to be dugged out again.

Seeing such “Pertandingan Menangkap Anjing” is being organised by our local authority, maybe we citizens can suggest some more beneficial competitions in return! I will start.

Catch The Corrupt Politician Competition

Who can participate? - Everyone, Anyone

How? Catch a corrupted politician and haul them to court

How to win? Winners will be determined by the total number of corrupted politicians they catch and the total amount of money they corrupted off the country and the people, bonus 10 points for catching corrupt politician who also always falls asleep at work

When is the competition ending? It never ends until all corrupted politicians are gone

Prize money? 1st prize : RM1, 2nd prize, RM0.50, 3rd prize : RM0.10 (Take it as a token rather than reward because you are doing a great deed for people and country)

Still reading??? Get your ass moving already!! Time is now and time is short! 

I am average and things are doing my head in.

I was having problem with my wordpress, i could not write or see chinese in my blog. All the chinese characters show up as “????” instead of 汉语/漢語. Actually this problem was discovered by my cousin, Ah Foong, as he was the one trying to post in chinese. I remember him asking me earlier but as i was busy with my work, so i didnt really try to figure it out until today.

I was checking the setting in wordpress option itself but found no hint there. Then i resort to the magic googling and found some pointers, actually it has to do with the sql database collation setting. To display chinese properly, the recommended setting should be UTF8-UNICODE-CI. I know nothing about how to change it for my wordpress SQL database. After some fiddling in the hosting C-Panel, i found access to my wordpress database via the tool phpMyAdmin.

Once in phpMyAdmin tool, you just have to select the database you want to work on, then go to each table, select each field with the wrong collation setting, and change it to UTF8-UNICODE-CI. My original setting was LATIN1-SWEDISH-CI. Actually to display and write chinese properly in your wordpress, you probably only need to change the post content and post title sections, but just to be safe, i have changed all of them.

So now i can finally type and read 漢語in my blog.

你也試試看吧!!

Whenever i hear this, my blood boils. When he was first signed from Valencia and the first 30 odd games he played he was being hailed as the real thing, the real Next-Viera. Everybody was excited about him and everybody praised him. He would be one of the first players on the starting list for most of the fans then.

However, one night in Turkey he received a serious eye injury which almost ended his football career. Momo battled back and returned to football quicker than expected by the doctors, his determination and recovery is phenomenon. Momo came back wearing the protective specs in games and he still was the boss in the midfield, majority of the fans still agree. His eye problem doesnt affect his good footballing engine or stop him from doing what he does best on the pitch.

Disaster however, strucked again. Momo received his second serious injury in his short Liverpool career, he dislocated his shoulder after landing awkwardly on the field and he was out for another 3 months. At the same time of the injury, Rafa managed to pull off a stunning coup and signed Javier Mascherano. Javier started in Momo absence and played well after a few games. That also signals the beginning of the nightmare Momo is going to get when he comes back from his latest injury.

Some of the Liverpool fans have taken very well to Javier and and “forgot” the contributions and impacts Momo made for us before his injuries. Some of them were so eager for us to keep Javier and see Momo as a threat to their new found hero. When Momo came back from his second injury, he suddenly became some of the fans’ worst player ever to don a Liverpool shirt. This is what made me mad. These so called Liverpool fans, either have a very short memory or they know very little about football at all. Momo still does what he does best, defending in midfield and disrupting the opponents’ attacks. His distribution was off after his injury but that doesnt make him a terrible player overnight! Momo still bosses the midfield and won a huge majority of his tackles. So what are all these fans whining about and judging him as a not-good-enough Liverpool player?

They should first judge themselves if they are good enough football observers fit to pass judgements on players. Do they even know what is Momo’s duty on the pitch? What is his role? Some of them judge him as if he is a midfield playmaker and want his every pass to be pin point accurate. They simply overlooked Momo’s ability to stop the opponents from playing their game. This is a difficult task and only a few players in the world can do it well, Momo is one of them. I am very sure Momo will make his doubters look like fools in the very near future. Boss it, Momo!!
