Remember ok it's a boy!


How could you not love a face like that!

I am "The Godfather!"

I have always wanted to say that. Yes it's finally happened. I am now a godfather. My lil nephew Ewen was baptised on Sunday. And he is such a cutie. I will post some pics of him soon.

ANyway the weekend was a whirlwind. I left early Saturday morning and reliased on my way to the bus station that they gave me the wrong ticket. The time stated on the ticked was 6 hours later then the time i wanted. So i panicked. So i reached there and lucky for me there was a free seat on the bus i wanted. But in typical Malaysian fashion when I asked for the ticket the girl at the counter replied in her most made up smiled face in the world "Naik Saja, takpe punya" I knew this was a bad sign and I tried to tell her i wanted a ticket. But she kept saying she had to issue the ticket and I had to pay for it. I just think she did not want to do the paperwork. But my instinct was right. When i try to board the bus, they would not let me on. Much debate and confusion and finally i was on board. Thank god for all the action because once i was on the bus i was asleep till i reached penang.

It was rushed. Too many things to do. Spend time with family, grandmas birthday and the baptism. But still it was good to see the family.

Came back on monday morning. And the bus demons would no leave me alone. We reached ipoh and the bus broke down. We had made a stop and the bus driver told us that is was a toilet break for 10 mins. About 30 mins later i noticed we were stil not moving. 45 mins still no movement. Then i look across and I see the bus driver chilling out. So when i asked him why we are not moving he finally told me. I mean there was a bus full of irritated people at why we are not moving and he did not even tell us. In fact as more people got off the bus he stood further away. Finally another bus showed up and we were back on our journey. This is the second time this has happened to me on the same bus company. Mental note... take another bus company.

Anyway that was the weekend for me. Eventful and yet not. Will post some pics of my lil nephew soon.

Jessica Alba


The title and the picture speak for itself. Ok ok s o you think I am shallow. Well here's the deal. Not only is Jessica Alba supernova hot... but it's not the seeling point for me. I was watching the 2006 MTV Movie Awards Yesterday which she hosted, The great thing about her is the fact that she is real. The girl next door. The buddy. Did I mention she was supernova hot!

Anyway, it's been a decent weekend. Friday night was a nice Breakers Night, Saturday was a good grocery shopping day. And I finally moved my PS2 from downstairs to my room. I started playing at about 10 and was supposed to go out at 11.30. So 11.30 came... then 12.30 came.. then 2 am came... then 5 am came. So guess what... I stayed home and did not spend a single cent. And my thumbs hurt today. Currently playing Need for Speed Most Wanted. I highly recommend it.

Pietro is pissed!

Ok the world cup is over. Not that I am too happy at the fact that it is, but, I do miss going home and waiting for each game. It took me a few days to finally sit down and write about my finals experience.


As you can tell I love my football. And in case you did not know I support France. I am very proud at the fact that they made it to the finals. In fact during the qualifiers my heart sank thinking that they might not even make it to the world cup. But they did and they wowed people by going as far as they did.Anxiety was running high during the game. I feel that the 2nd half was owned by the French. But the moment i saw Viera, Henry, Ribery and the red card on Zidane, I knew it was over. And then I saw Trezeguet come in. It was confirmed in my mind and heart that he was gonna screw it all up. I guess my gut was right. My heart stopped when he came forward to take the penalty. In my heart I knew he was gonna miss, not get blocked, but MISS! That was it. He missed and i knew it was over.


All in all I shall not say that we deserved to win. Because the way both teams played, it was a 50/50 thing. In fact Italy played well. And the result was fair. For the record, i accept the result. France lost!We did! I accept it.But here is why i am so upset. Why is it that people in general jump on the boat of the winners all the time. Example. After the game was over, every Italian fan in the house was screaming out their lungs out. I on the other hand was sitting down with head down wondering how all this happened. Suddenly a friend runs up to me and starts screaming in my ear "Italy is the best... we beat you guys....i knew they were gonna win it for the beggining... viva la italia" FIrst of all the word "VIVA" is reserved for the France cheers "Viva La France". FOr italy it's "Forza Italia" I am not even an italian fan but i know that much.


Secondly this is the same person who watched the game with me between France and Brazil and told me he is a hardcore France fan and he has supported them since he was a kid and was overjoyed to the point of tears when France beat Brazil. So what happened to his love and support for the team when they lose. Immediately he jumps on the bandwagon and supports Italy. Of course! THat is the only logical thing to do.


That was not it. Suddenly i am getting sms's left right and center from people who i did not even know liked watching football or who I knew supported other teams with lots of VIVA la Italia! How is this possible? I came home that night upset with the loss but even angrier at the fact that people had to rub it in. Do not get me wrong... If you are really an Italian fan then I salute you. I figured it out though. Human nature loves to put people down especially when they are the lowest. My friends and generally people who knew i was passionate about France knew they would add salt to the wound by saying it to my face. For those people who I know suport italy i accept their comments and screams. Because I would have done the same thing. But for those who just decided to support italy cos they were the favorites going in.. well... i am speechless.I guess the most politcally correct word is "lalang".


Remember when Chelsea were nobodies in the Premier League. Suddenly they win the premiership and you see people wearing their jerseys everywhere. But when you ask them what is the name of the goalkeeper.... *silence*. SIgh.


But to end this off. Congratulations Italy. A deserved win.


On a lighter note. I was in a shopping complex yesterday and as I was paying for my parking someones car alarm went off. THere were 3 security guards next to me. They did not even flinch. In fact they carried on with their conversation and proceeded back into the complex. While the alarm was still going on. As i walked back to my car i decided to just peek into the car to see there was no girl grasping for life as someone pinned her down. No sense of urgency whatsoever!


It reminds me a couple of years back when I was in a Mamak next to a bank. It was 3am. The bank alarm went of. 2 minutes later the authorities arrived, which impressed the hell out of me with coming so fast. But they get out of the car and sit down at the Mamak and order a teh tarik. Mind you the bank alarm is blaring. In fact they look angry at the fact that it's making so much noise. So me and my friends make fun of it and decided to be good citizens and decided to make an emergency call which they stated they will send a someone to check it out. Me and my friends were there for another hour with no sign of anything more than a guy peeking into the bank to see if he could see anything in a pitch black bank.


Sigh. Your thoughts?

Flipsyde


Ok some of you guys might not know who these guys are or some might just not care. But these guys are real talented. I got a chance to say hi to them. It was real quick cos they were rushing of somewhere else. But still it was very cool.

Am off to JB tomorrow for 3 days.

Viva La France!!! part 2

No one thought they could do it. But i had a feeling this morning that France would beat defending world champions Brazil! And i was right! What a feeling, seeing the player who made you want to watch football and captain, Arsenal, the team you support put in a goal to send Brazil packing! Thierry Henry! 1 - 0 was the scoreline to send brazil samba-ing back home.



Also, i have said this since day 1. England are only quarter finals kind of team. There was no way they were gonna make it. Portugal helped me prove that. What a penalty shootout. And i think Ronaldo deserved the win. I never thought I would say it about an MU player but I felt he played his heart out. But with that said I am not gonna pay homage to a MU player so although I am pleased that Portugal won I decided to not put a nice picture of an MU player here. Instead, i found this. Enjoy

Achtung!

The night was great. I actually thought i would not last cos i was up really early in the morning. Which is not a normal task for me. But I had a full day. And the night was dedicated to Football. We went to Laundry Bar to watch the game. It was a Tiger FC game. The game was Germany vs Argentina. I obviously was supporting Germany. The game was amazing. And ended in extra time with penalty shoot-outs. In my head I knew Germany was gonna win, And i knew was Jens Lehmann which would save the day. Obviously cos he is an Arsenal player. ANd obviouslyt the night ended with Deutchland being victorious. And Jen saving 2 penalties. So this posting is dedicated to Jens Lehmann!
