When will Man Utd stop losing?

After Sir Alex Ferguson had officially retired from coaching since last summer, it has been a really hard time for most of the united fans, if is not all. David Moyes has succeed the legendary manager, signed a 6 years contract that signify the club need stability and he is here for a long time to come.

For those who dont really watch football, I just want you to know that, in the footballing world, we do have a time frame for you to do shopping, something we call it as transfer market but this is not the wet market you use to went with your mom, but a place or a time for football clubs to buy or sell their players either to improve themselves or to generate revenue. And yes, for the last transfer market, we, Manchester United, did not do really well, we've been linked with all the big names in football but we just could't get hold of it.I understand that the club is in a transition whereby when new manager come in, he need time to settle in, allow his colleagues to know his working style but for a club that has enjoy enormous success over the years, not all of the fans are patience enough. 

          Fans started to moan when things doesn't go our way, we couldn't get the players we want, the results are against us. Seriously, I don't remember a time where my confident is so low going into every matches, watching from my tv, knowing there's a big chance that we can't win this game, we lose faith on this post-Sir Alex Ferguson's Man Utd. As of 24th Jan 2014, we lies on 7th place, 14 points off the current leader, Arsenal. And last year we won the league with 11 points advantage, things change so rapid in a few months, we are not so dominant anymore. 

          Everyone seem to be pointing fingers to David Moyes, but sometimes when I sit back and think, the manager do what he can, motivate players, assign training schedule, team selection and stuffs. He do everything except playing on the field, and we are actually losing games on the field itself, and who's on the field? Is the players. Why are they play like shit? Some of you might argue that, this is the same group of players that won the championship last year, the only changes in this summer is we recruit Marouane Fellaini and a change of manager. So, things that goes wrong must be the manager or the new recruit, the old players cant be blame, they never change. Hmmm...

          The decline of Manchester United is not happen on a single night, we already going down slope when we hit the peak on year 2009, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo had left. Sir Alex's magic is the only reason why we are still hanging at the top and now after he had gone, everything goes back to where it should be, after all, not everyone in the Manchester United team actually deserve to put on the famous red jersey. Some of the current players are just not good enough to be a Manchester United's player. Who are they? 

Tom Cleverly. Has a clever name but doesn't seem so when he is playing. Mehhh...


Danny Welbeck. He can miss chances that even our grandma can score. 

Ashley Young. My dad used to call him as vase.
Because both of them are the same, it serve as a decoration purpose only


Of course they are a few more that some of the fans will think they don't fit in or never belong to this team, I just can't list it all out, too many of them. Unmotivated player, failed to live up to expectation players, players that  failed to unleash their potential, so many ways to describe them. As a united fans, I must look ahead, this might be the darkest hours in Manchester United's Premier League era, but I know the dawn is not too far away. We have players that are coming back from treatment table, players as influential as Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie. I don't want to experience what Liverpool's fans had gone through over the last 20 years, I believe we can bounce back and David Moyes can turn things around if he is given enough time to make changes. I miss the old united team that boosted with World Best Player, my all time favourite Cristiano Ronaldo, but I need to keep my faith on the current one, we need to show our rivals that we are not done yet, just wait and we will catch up soon enough. 

Robin Van Persie & Wayne Rooney
When they are back playing, we gonna climb up the table. Come on United!

Manchester United 2008/2009. I miss this team so badly.
Manchester United 2013/2014. Please stop losing :'(


With United going through this transition phrase, I have friends who mock about this team all the time, the team has become a laughing stock. And they are people who even come and ask me, will I support the other team instead? Hmm... Let put it this way, I shall a post about this question on 9gag before I have to agree with this, it say "It is easy for a man to change his date and not the team he support"

Before I stop here, I sincerely hope Manchester United will bounce back strongly and get back to the winning ways. Glory Glory Man Utd! Stop losing! :')

Au revoir~

What do you do when you're stuck in a traffic jam?

What is traffic jam? For most of the Malaysian, we experience it everyday, either when we leave home or before we reach home. Especially in Klang Valley, if you wake up in a day and see no traffic jam then most probably it is during public holiday.

Traffic jam is so common that we has already get use to it and everyone has their own ways to endure it. But, what do people really do when they're stuck in a traffic jam? Thus, I have come out with a list that based on my years of observation on Malaysian drivers, about what we really do in traffic jam.

What Malaysian do...
1. Singing along to songs on the radio. Sometimes when you look around, you can see there's a concert going on in the car next to you, they sing so passionately that their hands hold firmly on the car steering. Or perhaps, you are also having your own mini concert and when you look to your side, you realize the driver next to you is actually singing the same song and probably you two are on the same radio channel. Why not wind down your window for a duet then?

Mini concert in the car


2. Browsing social media. This is the reason why you can see so many social networking site's latest update for the road traffic, all the cursing and regrets. Oh, not to forget, one of the contributor that make out statistic for why road accident can be happen so easily and foolish. Your status update and the tweet can wait.

"Im so gonna late for work!"... Twitter 

3. Taking selfies. Yea, traffic jam has suddenly become another all time favourite for people who take a self portrait now after the toilet. It is funny when you saw the person in the car next to you, is doing selfies and suddenly they realise you are watching and they give you an awkward stare. Haha. I love to spoil their selfies moment.

Time to Insta! 

4. Applying makeup. Some women see traffic jam as a chance for them to put up the make up, or maybe not only women now, some men do it too. This normally happen during morning rush hours, some people dont even have time for breakfast, they need to make a good use of time, thus, traffic jam or stopping at the traffic light is a good opportunity for them. They are the opportunist.

Time is precious in the morning, every minute counts!

5. Nose picking. This is the most epic one. We all have seen one or we are one of them who did that at least one. You can see them try so hard to dig in their finger, turn here twist there, wanting to find the biggest prize. The most awesome one is not the digging process but the post-digging, you can actually see how they flick it away or hide in somewhere on them or in the car. Ewwwww....

Argh... Almost there...

Haha. This is the 5 scenes that I came across most often.
Thanks for reading :)

What about you? Have you seen anything like this or even more extreme?

First post in 2014

Happy New Year!

This is my first post for the year 2014, I better write a good one to have a good start.
Indeed, 2013 ended nicely for me with Christmas and New Year coming so close even though I know Christmas and New Year are always close with each other every year, hahaha. Perhaps is because I'm having my semester break until end of March, don't think people will actually complaint having long holidays.

On the 30th December 2013, I went Sunway Lagoon with my bro and cousin, the six of us. The 6 of us do not meet each other as often compare when we were young. We used to go grandma's house every weekend, spending time playing all kinds of games and sport at the backyard.

This is my exactly how my first Gameboy Color
look like, used to spend hours with bro and
cousin playing Pokeamon with this. Childhood :)


Beyblade! This is also our all time favourite, the longer lasting toy in my memories.

Speaking back to Sunway Lagoon, with the help of Hong Leong Bank, we get 40% off the entrance ticket which ultimately reduced to RM72. It was my second visit to Sunway Lagoon in a year, and the best ride in the park is still the newly added Vuvuzela, claimed as the world largest water ride. If you are someone who like water activities and not afraid to spend then I would really recommend you to come Sunway Lagoon, come with pair or friends or with your family, it's a good place :)

And on the new year eve that day itself, I joined my friends, the whole gang of us,  went to a pub/bistro for our countdown gathering, in a restaurant name Cavells. Well, I dont know how to pronounce the name but never mind, we are there to try their famous cocktail, Tangachi. People went there to challenge themselves to finish the drink as fast as possible, and I heard from my friend that the fastest so far is around 6 to 7 seconds. Crazy shit. You spend RM40 for a glass of cocktail and you drank it within 10 seconds. Hat off to you, Im that kind of person that prefer to slowly sip in and enjoy the drink.

But then, it will be a nice experience if you whole bunch of friends competing with each other. Among my friends, the fastest is 10 seconds ++, no name mention, I'm afraid that dude gonna feel so proud after reading this, if only he read. Haha.

The boys in Cavells Restaurant after we drank our Tangachi :)

We were lucky enough though, to have free firework around that area when the clock strike 12. Never thought that firework is up there for us to watch as we were already go out of the crowd to somewhere quiet. Too bad, no kissing under the fireworks though :/

After Cavells, we went to one of our friend's house, chill and have a little gathering. Time like this is always best for horror stories but too bad none of us share any on that day but nevertheless, most of us did stay overnight at his house and decided to wake up the next morning for dim sum. This is exactly the same thing we did a year ago. Twice went a restaurant to eat, then count down after that stay overnight at friend's house and the next morning dim sum and go back own home and sleep.

Dim Sum, our first meal on 2014.
P.S. I will thank you personally for this awesome picture, and that hand :/

By the way, dont write the wrong date.
Is already 2014, dont write it as 2013 anymore :)

Happy new year! :)
