Working Class Hero-Green Day

its gonna be a busy week,with Idulfitr in two days time,and the big outdoor event happening this weekend at Sentosa island,and the multiple events happening at the same time here at my workplace,i predict it's goin' to be a riot.

can't do much at work today,lotsa things planned but got halted,and all this will make my work a lil tougher,but i hope it'll be fine.

it's a blazing sunny day,i can't hardly remove my shades,it's a perfect day to go to the beach,oh boy!i miss my swimming sessions,and its a good thing i can proceed with swimming next week onwards!

goin' out later in the evening,heading to Serangoon with Minerva,wanna check out the Deepavali nite bazaar,hope i could get the murukus i've longed for.

the last Liverpool game vs rival team Everton was fantastic,Nando Torres scored twice!
now that's truly inspirational!
its goin to be a perfect season for The Reds,i hope...

Some Things Gotta Give-Beastie Boys

and we've tried so much to avoid the city as much as we could coz no we 're not a big fan of F1-and anyway if we were to just stand behind those tall fences and barricades,in midst of sweat and stale air,cramped with the rest of strange onlookers,excuse me,i'll rather be elsewhere peaceful and quiet,and i won't even bother to watch it live on tv either.

it's the 26th of september-and marlia turned 26th.and while the rest of the world focusing their attentions on the night race;we had our lil dinner at a quiet restaurant in parkway parade.nothing exclusive,no champagne,no birthday cake-just breaking our fast together and feast on food that filled up the entire space on the table and we can't even finish up all of it.

and for few years now,poor marlia had to celebrate her birthday during this holy fasting month.

Happy Birthday Marlia Pok @ Minerva!
Hey!Don't forget my birthday gift next year!

p.s.-don't comment about the unshaved look-i'm just too lazy,i know,and ebok said "kau main psp satu malam sampai keluar misai??"haha very funny...

in less than a fortnight,we'll be celebrating idul fitr,and that means holy month ramadhan is closing in pretty soon.
we've been put through various tests and the fickle tropical weather have contributed much to the tests as well,but all true moslems could do is tolerate and stay calm and cool.

myself,i've been battered,not on weekdays but over the weekends when i've to run events and programmes under the sun,i melted just like others do,and yes the temptations of gulping down ice cool water down the dry throat were so great,but i've managed to pull through till dusk.and great shame to those fellow 'Moslem folks' who didn't abide and respect the holy month,coz even children tried hard and i don't see why those grown-ups can't.

so far during this month,i didn't have enough sleep which i believe many share the same fate as i do-and due to that,i always arrived to work late-and will feel like a zombie.but everytime when i got the chance to sleep early at home,i honestly didn't take the opportunity.reason being there are plenty of stuffs to do-i've got plenty of books i've bought and yet i'm still slow with one right now.and when i can't sleep,i read and i read till i fell asleep.and the next day i've to search where i stopped dead halfway,and that will take me a while coz i've to read the whole passage again.either that,or i'll get down with my Psp,fifa08 manager mode-and seriously,when i start,i'm glued till way too late,and i do think i seriously need attention.really.

or else,i'll lose me day-job.

Stand By Me-Oasis

The Reds meet Stoke City on a bright sunny Saturday afternoon at Anfield,and moments after kick-off,Skipper Stevie G delivered a free-kick shot which landed straight into the net,sending fans jumping with joy only to be disappointed by the referee's questionable decision who disallowed the goal.

Liverpool was in complete domination at the pitch,but however was really very frustrating watching the boys struggling to penetrate through Stoke City's defensive play.there were many opportunities by Keane,Torres,Gerrard and Alonso's long driven shots but only to be safely shielded and kept away by Stoke's Sorensen throughout the entire game.

The visitors team defended real well today,and the saga continues...........

Y.N.W.A!

Don't Matter-Akon

Liverpool faced Olympic De Marseille,at their homeground in France,and in the very fast energetic first half ,we've witnessed a shocking opening goal by Cana and hence putting pressure on Rafa boys.but couple minutes later,skipper Steven Gerrard demonstrated an extremely wonderful retaliation and netted the important equaliser and following a foul attempt at the box,Stevie G was awarded a penalty,which he delivered perfectly,even when he had to do it twice,silencing the noisy hostile home crowd,and bringing the game back into the typical hi-tempo 'Champs League' style.

the game was entirely tensed and exciting,and the excitement came at the sound of the final whistle where the visitors team collected away points and another happy trip home.

Cheers to Gerrard and Pepe Reina for all the miraculous saves from the constant bombardments of the Marseille strike crews.

Mighty Reds did it again!

Next game,20th Sept,against Stoke City at Anfield.Viva La Liverpool!

Wish you Were Here-Pink Floyd

Founding member of Pink Floyd;keyboardist Richard Wright died yesterday at the age of 65.May he rest in peace.

"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?A smile from a veil?Do you think you can tell?And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?Hot ashes for trees?Hot air for a cool breeze?Cold comfort for change?And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?"

"How I wish, how I wish you were here.We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here."

She Loves You-The Beatles

The Mighty Reds marched with glorious triumphant,the win over Man Utd has proven that Liverpool F.C. is back with Rafa's new campaign,with the long wait and our silent prayers has finally been answered earlier today at Anfield.

The game was actually wrecked by Tevez early goal,but that didn't break Liverpool boys spirit and determination,Brown's own goal into Man Utd's net was indeed a miracle and with that equaliser both teams were battling hard,fighting to win.but Ryan Babel's superb shot at 78th minute snubbed the Red Devils into despair.

Rafa played his cards well;with Torres benched and Stevie G was only unleashed at 67th,and new kid Riera fantastic debut gelled perfectly with the rest of the crew,and unmistakably we have embarked in this new season with a big hope that we could win the title again,Keep The Faith!

Y.N.W.A!

Best Days-Blur

Big match for the start of a new season,live and loud rivalry at Anfield tomorrow,Liverpool vs Man Utd.Reds gotta be positive even with dark rumours that Stevie G and Torres will be missing out of the game.predicted to be a very tight game and if the capn Stevie and Nando ain't playin',we've to rely on the 'Dutch Combo'-Kuyt & Babel and Benayoun who will also support Robbie Keane,whom we all still waiting for his goal for mighty Liverpool.

it's goin' to be a hard fight,even at home battleground but the team needs every support from the loyal fans who's goin' to be at the stadium tomorrow,and by God's will,Rafa Benitez and his new campaign will prove it to the world again!

and hey we never forget what happened to no.20 Mascherano last time round!
Viva La Liverpool!

Setting Sun-The Chemical Brothers

Here is my 10 most favourite posters ever!

Posters are a medium,important in reaching out to the masses,enticing one to be curious and interested in knowing the subject of the poster more,either by watching the movie or by purchasing the poster as an inspiration and using it as decoration on their ugly dusty wall.
Watching E.T. brought me back to my childhood days when my brother and his dumb friends who were always with their bmx and kuwaharas and my bro won't let me touch his bike until one day i sneaked out with his kuwahara but ended up with a pretty bad accident and things made worse when i got back home and mom gave extra 'bonus'trashing.

Ultra violent Alex and his droogs-a much messed up life of boys and got brainwashed by the system according to Stanley Kubrick.the movie was released in early 70s.classic material.

No possessed Linda Blair in the poster but yet just by looking at it give a sense of spookiness and chills down the spine.another 70s horror flick but is still one the best American horror movie ever made.

Pte Gomer Pyle story and how the war being fought in Nam.and also the fact that it's one of another good war movie ever made."Me Love You Long Time!"

the movie Jaws had an impact on many swimmers and non-swimmers alike-the fear of sharks!the minute you dip your head underneath the sea,the big picture of shark attack will appear in the mind-the fact that sharks are shy creatures and unless provoked it won't even come close or again who knows if you're 'fortunate' enough.

watchin Jaws 3 at the old Capitol theatre with 3d shades for effects was really unforgettable!i wish i could go back in time.

Not because i'm a big Star Wars fan but when i first looked at it i fell in love straight away,young Anakin's shadow is Vader!despite the soft colours and here it is in the background a dark force emerging.

For those who have no clue what the movie Snatch all about-you Suck Big time!one of the best British 'Gangsta' movie-a comical yet entertaining-underworld crime lords,lost diamond and fixing matches-and Brad Pitt as an Irish boxer.

Pulp Fiction,Quentin Tarantino-enuff said.

now Band of Brothers is not a movie but to me it falls into the same war movie category-its a HBO mini series and sure Akai got me addicted!

another Guy Ritchie's work,another gangsta movie.

Superman-Goldfinger

A whole new world of aluminium 'shaped' skateboards unleashed by a dude named Corbus.He crossed the tradition of having graphics on the belly of the boards and carved the boards out of aluminium instead of wood.


the gas-mask effect.

the grave yard skater
seahorse and fishbone
and well probably one can't do much tricks on the board,but it's a daring new invention.it may be fit for cruising though,like longboards.

the future is here.

Like A Prayer-Madonna

been days now that Muslims all around the world observe the obligatory fast,during this holy month of Ramadan.and it's not only abstaining from consuming food and drinks during the day of fast-which is from dawn to dusk,but it's also refraining from 'unhealthy' acts like smoking or sexual practices.a Muslim is encouraged to spend more time in devotion to God during Ramadan,to abandon 'earthly materials' like comfort & possesions,to feel oneself and experience how a poor,unfortunate person without food and home would feel.it's also a month of charity and sharing food to break the fast together.

the first couple of days of fast, there was this throbbing stinging sharp pain on my left portion of the head;especially on my left eye-i don't really wanna think that was a migraine,but the pain was terrible.i wasn't really focused,even when i shut my eye i could feel the rhythm of the tribal beat.so that was the initial start,i guessed my body didn't have adequate water or probably not enough rest ever since the round island cycling-but today,Alhamdulillah,the pain is gone,and once again i am able to think and perform my daily routine in perfect health.

i won't feel hungry during fasting,its only the thirst,and controlling thirst is not as easy as controlling temper coz some people and their actions really just get me over the edge,and yes that's fast is all about-to control oneself.calm and collected-cool like a cucumber and draw closer to God-it's a shield to protect us from comitting sins and also to practise a good habit of doing good things,not only in this month,but in one's lifetime.

Happy Fasting Brothers & Sisters!
