For all The Kop supporters anda mungkin berminat nak baca dan kepada haters especially MU punya fan kalau nak baca pun takpa, takmaw baca lagi bagus. So what it is? Check out this one. Story yang agak panjang lebar. Kalau rajin baca la sampai habes. Heee

"Dad? I want to support Man United."

Mid-September 2010. After finishing 7^th last season, I’m struggling to convince my two boys that Liverpool are the greatest club in the world. And now, under Hodgson’s guidance and the increasingly worrying Hicks/Gillett ownership, my job is getting more difficult. I arrive home from work one day, and my 9-year-old approaches me sheepishly.

“Dad? I don’t want to support Liverpool anymore. I want to support Man United.”  Six words that any LFC-supporting father dreads.

“Me too!” chips in my 7-year-old, helpfully.

“Why?”  I reply calmly, struggling to hide the panic and anger bubbling up inside.

“Everyone at school supports Man United, and I don’t want to be the odd-one-out.” It’s true. We live in Surrey, a few miles from Chelsea’s training ground, and about 15 miles from Stamford Bridge. Chelsea run the local soccer schools. And yet the kids support United.

Unfortunately, my anger gets the better of me. “Well, you have a simple choice to make boys. Either you can support Man United, or you can have a Dad.” This sends them running to Mum, and you can imagine the trouble I’m in.

Once calm returns to the house, chastised, I try a different approach. “Well you can’t support Man United can you boys? Remember the first rule of football: You can only support the team your Dad supports, or your local team.”  I’d taken them to see Reading when they were in the Premier League, including the time they beat Liverpool. But they got bored when I took them to Championship games, and they’d lost interest.  “It’s got to be Liverpool or Reading.”

“Reading? They’re rubbish”, declares my youngest.

“Well it’s got to be Liverpool then”, I say, in a matter-of-fact kind of way.

“Reading aren’t our only local team you know”, offers my eldest kindly. Unfortunately geography is one of his stronger subjects. “If I can’t support Man United, I want to support Chelsea.”

“Fulham are closer”, I reply confidently, not sure if it’s true.

“Fulham? They’re rubbish”, declares my youngest, again.

I’m really panicking now. “OK, you can support Liverpool and either Arsenal or Tottenham for a bit, until Liverpool improve. They both play good football and are both only a bit further away than Chelsea.”

“I’m going to support Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham” declares my youngest.

“Then you’ll have a very successful season”, I mutter.

“I’ll do you a deal”, offers my eldest. Always doing deals. “I’ll support Liverpool and Man United until the end of the season, and then decide.”

With Liverpool still in the picture for both of them, I decide to leave it there for the time-being. Let them go on a journey of discovery - plenty of time to steer them back onto the righteous path before the end of the season. “Deal”, I agree.

“But…” continues my eldest, “if Liverpool drop into the relegation zone, I’m supporting Man United”.

“Relegation zone?!” I laugh. Never in my lifetime. Never. “Alright boys, no problem. You don’t have to support Liverpool if we drop into the relegation zone.”

3^rd October 2010. Home to Blackpool, absolute banker – home win, 99 times out of 100. Even a draw will keep us out of the relegation zone, so absolutely no worries at all.

Of course you know what happens. Total humiliation. The most humiliating defeat at Anfield since…. well, since Northampton won there 11 days earlier. My boys see the result, and I pray they won’t see the table.

“Dad, Dad, Liverpool are in the relegation zone! You said we don’t have to support them if they’re in the relegation zone! Yeessss!!!”

We don’t play again for two weeks, and they’re two of the worst weeks of my life. On top of everything else, Liverpool face administration and probable relegation if they can’t sell the club. I seriously wonder if the club I’ve loved for my whole life is dying before me.

The week of 11^th to 15^th October I can’t sleep properly or focus on work. I sit at my desk clicking the refresh button on the live news feeds a hundred times a day. Finally on 15^thOctober, just an hour or two before the deadline, the LFC board burst out of the High Court declaring victory. The club can be sold to NESV. I should feel euphoric, but I’m broken, exhausted, and slump on my desk, numb with relief.

Confident that Liverpool will climb back up the table, I explain to my boys how Liverpool will now be great again, and sit back and wait for the victories to roll in. But of course, they don’t. Week after week I pray for Liverpool victories, while at the same time a shameful part of me hopes we lose so that Hodgson will be sacked.

For the first time I wonder if I’m being cruel, insisting my boys support Liverpool. Then I bump into a mate who has his son dressed in a Brentford shirt. Immediately, I know that encouraging them to support Liverpool is one of the greatest gifts I can ever give to them. I just need to bide my time.

In mid-December we lose to Newcastle, and I tell my boys that Hodgson will be sacked the next day. Then we lose to Wolves at Anfield, and I tell my boys that Hodgson will definitely, definitely, be sacked the next day. They find my pain hilarious. Then on 5^thJanuary we lose to Blackburn, and finally the axe falls.

8^th January 2011. Liverpool announce that King Kenny will return as manager until the end of the season. Now, I’ve loved Kenny my whole life. Two years ago, in an interview for a business magazine, I told them Kenny Dalglish was my inspiration, because no-one has achieved so much as both a team player and a Manager. But I have my reservations. If he can still do it, why has he been out of management for so long? Anyway, I can’t let my boys know my concerns. This is too good a chance to miss.

“Kenny Dalglish? He is such an old man”, offers my eldest generously.

“Right”, I said. “Both of you wait there.”

I went upstairs and fetched Kenny’s autobiography and my LFC history books. “Right. Guess how many league titles Kenny has won.” I didn’t wait for an answer. “Nine. Nine league titles. And, and three European Cups.” They sat there with their mouths open, catching flies.

Finally my eldest spoke. “Yeah, he was a good player but that doesn’t make him a good manager, does it?”

I smiled. “Well, he was Liverpool manager for five years. In his first season, he won the league title and the FA Cup. Not only that, but he also played 29 games that season, and scored the winning goal at Chelsea to win the title on the final day of the season.”

“What? You can’t be a player and a Manager at the same time.”

“Kenny could. And in those five years, he won the title three times. Then he went to Blackburn, and won the title for them too. Blackburn! So do you think he’s a good Manager?”

“Yeah! Brilliant.”

The next day, and Kenny’s first match is away at Old Trafford. I fear the worst. My boys cheer when United score just to wind me up, but I can tell they’re not sure who they want to win. Our performance overall is much improved so I feel quietly optimistic about the future.

During the next few weeks, Liverpool gradually improve and we get some victories under our belt. I subliminally try to influence my boys by leaving Liverpool scarves and pennants around the house, and put a picture of Kenny in a frame next to the TV. I leave their Match Attax collection album open at the Liverpool page after they go to bed, and I tell them all the transfer rumours about the players that the new owners may be buying for us. They increasingly play as Liverpool on PES, and beg to stay up to watch the first-half of our televised evening games.

Then at the end of January a set-back. They love Gerrard and Torres, and all of a sudden it seems Torres may be going to Chelsea. I quickly go into damage limitation mode, reminding them how bad Torres has been for a year or more. He goes, and I quietly remove their posters of him while they are out. I show them a video of new-signing Luis Suarez on YouTube, and they watch Carra stop Torres getting anywhere near our goal as Liverpool thrillingly beat Chelsea. Torres is forgotten, and Liverpool’s good form continues.

6^th March 2011. Liverpool versus United, and a true test of their loyalties. They join me on the sofa at kick-off, each with a Liverpool scarf draped around their neck. I’m happy but nervous. Are we good enough yet to beat United? As the game progresses, my nerves ease. We’re playing well. Then, with his back to goal, Suarez takes his first giant step to becoming a Liverpool Legend. He suddenly spins between two defenders, beats a third, and rolls the ball under the on-rushing keeper. Kuyt taps it in, and me and my boys go wild. Before half-time it’s 2-0, and we’re all delighted. Half way through the second half, and a fantastic Suarez free-kick is parried into the path of Kuyt, who hammers it into the net.  The boys leap on me and I find myself twirling around the living room, one of them held high in each arm, their arms raised, fingertips touching the ceiling.

“Kuyt’s got a hat-trick, Kuyt’s got a hat-trick – against Man United!” they scream in delight, and I know our journey is complete. For the first time in months I can hold my head up high and walk on, with hope in my heart.

 Support United, or have a Dad? Boys, You’ll NEVER Walk Alone.

:: penyelamat ::

What up readers? Keh keh. rajin pulak aku ngapdate belog ni. Bosan la katakan. Kalau dah malas tuh sampai berbulan bulan tak hapdate. So today,diiringi dengan irama hujan menimpa bumbung umah sewa aku, dengan rancaknya aku menaip entry kali ni mengisahkan tentang ini.

Jimat atau membazir?


Can y'all see that? Suma tersebut adalah penyelamat dikala aku kelaparan ecspecially waktu malam bcoz  aku ni dikala malam akan jadi musang. Kalau nak cari kedai makan berdekatan sekitar umah sewa pada lewat malam jangan haraplah nak jumpa. Maklumlah pekan Araustralia ni tidoq awai. Tapi yang herannya depa ni tidoq awai, bukak kedai tak pulak awai. Dekat kul 12 baru nak opening. LOL.

Oleh yang demikian aku boronglah suma benda ni sebagai bekalan. Agak-agak membazir tak? Aku rasa dak kot bcoz suma tu tak sampai RM20 pun. Dan di kala kesempitan duit benda-benda makan ni jugaklah yang buat aku survive. 

Ni cek nak eksekepelen sikit pasai tiap-tiap benda ni:

1.Twisties

Kropok ni saja ja aku beli. Bukan untuk mengenyangkan perut pun. Kekadang busan-busan dok umah layan movie kat PC macam tak best ja kalau takda benda nak mengunyah. Lagipun aku memang suka pun kropok ni. Bukan selalu beli pun.

2.Yaakob(Jacobs)

Yaakob adalah roti yang sangat lazat dan juga berkhasiat. Bagus untuk aku bila tak sempat nak amek heavy breakfast. Dalam kalut-kalut buleh la aku makan benda ni. Jimat dah duit nasik lemak ataupun roti canai kat situ.

3.Cocopie

Ku sangkakan sedap sepertimana rupanya dekat muka plastik. Rupanya serrr. Menyesal aku beli. Nasib baik aku tak beli dua packet.

4.Megi Asam Laksa

Actually Mamee Asam Laksa. Dah adat orang kita kan apa Brand pun kita panggil Maggi sedangkan kita tahu ianya Ruski mahupun Sedaap. Aku beli yang ni sebab nak cuba rasa ja. Tak penah beli. Dalam banyak-banyak megi la yang paling mengenyanykan dan memuaskan perut serta perasaan. Tak lama lagi berkolamlah(botak) kepala aku.

5. Roti Gula

Err. yang ni bukan aku punya. Haha. roomate aku yang beli. Saja buh bagi nampak banyak. Mana taw ti dia baca belog aku then dia tengok roti gula dia ada nanti dia bagi aku makan sama.LOL.

*Kalau orang utara kata 'roti' mereka juga maksudkan ianya 'biskut'. Jangan konpius.

*Serr adalah kata nama lain untuk perkataan spoiled.

:: suatu ketika ::

Siti Musliha

What up? Entry kali ni aku nak share dengan y'all  pasal insan yang pernah menggegarkan industri muzik tanah air kita dulu. Kenal tak sapa dia ni? Bagi yang kenal tu mesti y'all tertanya-tanya mana dia ni dan apa dah jadi dengan dia. Aku pun bertanyakan soalan yang sama. Dulu masa kecik-kecik time dok berhingus lagi aku dah hafal beberapa lagu dia. La ni lupa abeh. En.Bapak la yang beli kaset dia. Best kot, naik keta ja mesti pasang, dengar ulang-ulang pun tak jemu. 

Seriously dah lama aku cari lagu-lagu dia ni bcoz suara dia yang sangat lunak dan lagu-lagu yang memberi makna tersendiri dan bagi aku Siti Musliha ni insan yang sangat istimewa. Two thumbs up for her.

Agak mengecewakan setelah aku search dia merata tempat, hanya video dan lagu ni saja yang aku dapat cari.

For y'all yang kenal dan baru nak kenal, just Layannnnn...

*Kepada sapa-sapa yang ada link pasal lagu-lagu dan video Siti Musliha jangan segan-segan nak share ngan aku na.

Dan juga kepada sapa yang ada berita dan update pasal dia pun sila-silalah share. 

Peace!

:: pray and standby ::

Serrr

As we know, dan juga kalau berdasarkan fakta geografi, negara kita berada di luar lingkaran api pasifik. Dan di situ juga menyatakan bahawa negara kita bebas daripada gempa bumi. Baru-baru ni gempa bumi dan tsunami yang dahsyat melanda negara matahari terbit dan kita menyaksikan massive destruction over there. Subhanallah. 

Belum sempat negara Jepun dapat memulihkan kerosakan dan kemusnahan besar yang they all hadapi, kita dikejutkan pula dengan negara jiran kita di rantau Asia Tenggara ni iaitu Myanmar yang juga diduga dengan gempa bumi sehingga menyebabkan puluhan kematian dan kecederaan.

Lebih mengejutkan lagi ada fakta menyatakan bahawa titik gempa bumi menghapiri Mesia pulak. OMG!

Kita dok ingat negara kita ni selamat dah. 

Berdasarkan peta berkenaan. Myanmar dengan Mesia bukan jauh mana pun dah. Taw dak mana satu Myanmar mana satu Mesia? Kalau tak taw pi mengaji geografi bagi pandai.

*Kita tak taw bila dia akan berlaku, ataupun mungkin tak berlaku, ataupun mungkin tahun depan.

*Sentiasalah kita berdoa dan bersedia, Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pemberi dan juga Maha Pencipta.

:: yang mana satu? ::

Sorry becoz foto tak berapa jelas, zoom in sendiri la yer



HAHAHA!Adehh. Tak larat nak gelak bila tengok foto ni.
Actually ni foto time aku sekolah rendah dulu.  Aku pun tak pasti foto ni time aku darjah berapa. Maybe darjah 3 takpun darjah 4. Foto aku masa kecik-kecik memang tak berapa nak ada becoz dulu tak dak henpon berkamera macam skang ni. Haha. Dulu-dulu henpon pun payah nak jumpa.


REUNION STORY

V

BTW  foto ni aku amek kat pesbuk membe lama aku. Last month diorang buat reunion secara mengejut dan aku yang terkejut biawak masa salah sorang dari membe skol rendah aku call ajak pi reunion pada hari yang sama. Aku terkejut sebab musykil macam mana diorang dapat phone number aku sedangkan almost 9 years aku lost contact. Lagi satu aku terkejut becoz setelah almost 9 years lost contact diorang boleh plan buat reunion.

Dengan rasa terkejut tersentap dan teringin nak jumpa diorang balik aku pun join the reunion. Depa(mereka) buat dekat Pizza Hut. Aku pun pi dekat lokasi tersebut dan masuk. Aku rasa aku kenal sikit-sikit muka membe-membe lama aku and then aku nampak satu group yang agak familiar gak muka diorang dan aku approach. Sampai ja kat diorang suma diam tengok aku sambil kedengaran orang bisik-bisik "Sapa mamat ni?", "Membe sapa plak ni?",. Aku rasa sangat ralat sampailah ada sorang membe aku yang masih kenal kata "weiiii, Fizalll, mai duduk mai duduk". Haha. pastu kedengaran pulak sesuatu yang agak panjang berbunyi macam ni "owhhhhhhhhh".

Start dari situ bermulalah sesi bertanya khabar dan perkembangan. Banyak gak la nak sembang, maklumla lama gila tak jumpa. Sampai ada yang satu kampus ngan aku pun ada. Sangat best  becoz dapat contact depa balik dan nasib baik aku buat keputusan nak pi reunion tu. Dapat makan Pizza free..hahaha.

Kesimpulannya kat sini bukan aku nak cerita pasal reunion. Haha..da melalut sampai kat sini baru aku teringat sebenarnya aku nak tanya y'all readers yang mengenali aku untuk teka YANG MANA SATUKAH AKU DALAM FOTO BERKENAAN?

*HINT, pesen rambut aku dari pada masa  foto ni diambil sehinggalah aku form 3 adalah sama .

Jangan gelak bila da taw yang mana aku, sapa gelak aku sumpah jadi stokin. 

:: pagi yang awesome ::

UiTM Arau

Sebab apa title dia pagi yang awesome? Ha tengok gambar tuh. Pagi berkabus kat UiTM Arau. Subhanallah. Sebelum ni jangan nak kata kabus, embun pun tak berapa nak rasa. Maklumlah Arau ni kawasan dia lapang, so sangat terdedah dengan cahaya matahari yang terik. By the way seminggu dua kebelakangan ni(tatabahasa yang jahanam) cuaca agak mendung dan kerap hujan. Mungkin inilah jugak sebabnya pagi ni sangat sejuk dan berkabus. Sepupu aku kat Sintok pun kata kat sana berkabus gak. Agaknya kawasan-kawasan utara hari ni memang camni kot.

Laluan Pejalan Kaki depan bangunan HEA

Dalam kalut-kalut nak pi kelas aku sempat snap dua foto je lah. Mana sempat amek bebanyak. Kelas pukul 8 pagi, pukul 8.10 aku dok terhegeh-hegeh lagi kat sini. Nasib baik lecturer  tak masuk kelas lagi. Huhu

*harap-harap esok lusa tulat pun camni gak cuaca, huhu. baru la ARAUSTRALIA

:: cik setiausaha dah konvo ::

Cik Yana Lovyna. Suweet kan beliau?


Tengok! Boss pun belum konvo lagi secretary pulak yang konvo dulu. Tak buleh jadi ni . Haha. by the way I'm very proud becoz setiuasaha aku bukan calang-calang beb. Ada certificate kot. Hee. Takpa, nanti aku naikkan pangkat beliaw jadi sexytary, eh silap, aku akan naikkan dia jadi Mam Besar dalam kampeni medium ni.

*kena cari secretary  lain la camni .LOL.

:: punya lama tak hapdate ::

uhuks..uhuks..ehem! 

Akhirnya, setelah almost 3 bulan aku tak hapdate belog terchenta ni aku menggagahkan jari-jemari aku ni untuk taip something. Tengoklah sawang kat atas tu, ha itulah gambarannya belog yang lama gila tak hapdate(virtual pun bsawang gak ka?LOL), maw selesema aku dibuatnya kalau nak bersihkan semua tu. 

Antara alasan kenapa aku lama tak hapdate belog(bajet macam ramai ja followers, LOL):

1. Sibuk dengan preparation nak degree, amek masa satu bulan gak la dok sibuk settle itu dan ini.
2. Setelah lama tak hapdate memang secara naturalnya akan jadi malas nak hapdate, macam solat terawih la, kalau rajin pi tu tetiba sehari malas nak pi, pastu pakat kelam langsung sampai raya.
3. Dah takda idea sangat-sangat dah walhal punya boring dok Perthlis ni.
4. Bila mai mood nak hapdate ja, tenet pulak buat hal, menyampah betoi.

Itulah antara alasan-alasan yang munasabah dan munasarawak tapi bukan munafendi. Naaama pun alasannnnn.

*hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih, Eh dah tak nak, nak buat camna!!
