Gabriel Batistuta in talks with Johor FA?

2012-02-09T03:10:00.002+08:00

Batigol + Fandi Ahmad = Glory !

I was so amazed with recent development happened with JOHOR FA since Johor's crown prince,Tunku Ismail overtook the helm as presidency seat barely few weeks ago. Since then, he has signed Singapore's legendary striker and FC Groningen Hall of Fame, Fandi Ahmad as newly Technical Adviser cum team manager on 3 years deal.

Yesterday the crown prince has revealed on his twitter that if all goes well, Argentine legend Gabriel Batistuta or his nickname Batigol could join the second tier Malaysia's Football League, JOHOR FA and work with Fandi Ahmad as Technical Adviser.
Despite all stunning development he has brought in short periods, the crown prince himself has made a realistic target for the team to be promoted to Malaysia Super League . I wonder what next to come under his guidance,perhaps bringing quality signings?

Johor FA are currently fifth in the 12-strong Malaysia Premier League standings with nine points after six matches, four points behind leaders Pahang, who beat them 2-0 last night in Temerloh. The MPL is Malaysia's second division, below the Super League.

An excitement!
I will be going for a training at HP Damansara Tower starts today until the next 4 days for VCP5.0.
The only major drawback is i have just got rest for not less than 24 hours when my shift ended yesterday morning at 7am. On paper,my shift ended at 7am but reality was i came out around 7.30am and reached home at 8am.
Now what i should do is focus during the training and targeting myself to sit for the exam in February 2012!

My first ever football boot

2011-12-05T00:39:00.001+08:00

I love playing football and in fact, at some part of my tender age i was bewildered and confused whether to choose football as my career or to fulfill my childhood ambition to become a doctor. Shooh, this classified as a big secret that no one knows but i think i did not fear it anymore even if it was leaked to my parent especially my father.

It was all started at the age of 14 years old where i represented my school in a football team of under 18 in major district competitions. I can play in any position in midfield but my favourite position is playing in wide position as right midfielder.

Please don't ask why i did not start earlier since preliminary school but in short it was due to i had forbidden by my father to not participate in any sports except badminton. To him, football is a violent sport but whatever his reason was, seriously i was not gut enough to defy his order. It would be major catastrophe if did!

I still remember vividly when i was having football training session, my school rugby coach Mr Raymond Yap asked me to play for rugby in flanker position. I do not know what terms he called it, but it is a position where usually pint sized like me fits well if you have dashing run but i have to reject it gently due to usually football and rugby schedule would collided with each other.

Cut it short with my uninteresting histories, can you guess what was my first football boot i had ever used?
Adidas? Nike?

You were wrong.

It was unbranded boot famously called it as Fung Keong boot which it was made of canvas,the same materials like school shoes except it has rubber studs at its beneath.
It was the boot that i had used it when i played for my class for inter school football competition and made me selected to play for my school.

My 3rd boot Adidas Predator (second was Adidas too but forgot its series name)

I still keep it at my hometown shoe rack as for sake to show it for my children one day!

The 4th boot and the last i had ever used it during university days

What makes our football has so much improvement recently?

2011-12-04T04:36:00.001+08:00

Do you know the answer?

The answer lies on emblem of previous shirts we had used and presently.

Previous shirt with FAM emblem on left chest. Do the players played for nations or FAM?

Previously, it was FAM emblem but not since 2010 it has changed to Malaysia sacred flag, Jalur Gemilang.

That was the reason behind on why our players showed their grittiness everytime they were on the pitch compared to the former.

Sorry FAM but it was really inappropriate to put your logo ahead of Malaysia flag and i relieved finally we have used our own flag on the shirt since 2010!

Obviously they were not playing for FAM but for our nations,were they?

Present shirt donned by our players

Now look on the legendary shirts donned in Olympic 1972 squad

And the one donned by our no other SuperMokh

Did you see these previous golden generation players donned shirt with FAM emblem or with our proudest flag on their chest?

2012 AFF Suzuki Cup

2011-12-04T04:12:00.001+08:00

This is our chance to retain the cup!

Can we retain it? Hopefully we can

Malaysia and Thailand have been chosen as co-hosts of AFF Cup preliminary round.

It was such golden opportunities for us especially in our bid to retain the championships with the back of our vocal supporters.

We can do it but first, we as Malaysians have to be united in supporting the team regardless of the results.

Still remember the sweet moments when our player made the glorious attempts in AFF 2010? If you aren't, please let me.

Moments of the day we made a history, enjoy it!

Know Your Footballers - Safee Sali

2011-12-04T01:57:00.001+08:00

Here you go, stories we were waiting for so long finally came out. Safee Sali!
Firstly,i felt sorry due to the reason of his stories was released later after our wonderkid, Nazmi Faiz in my maiden post of Know Your Footballers. To be honest, that does not any meant anything because he still our phenomenon!

Anyone agrees with me that who would not know the hotshot Safee Sali?
Cross-finger that everyone in Malaysia knows him be it an old man or just a child.

He is considered as our best bet in striking force partnering with dashing Noorshahrul Idlan Talaha.
He is our first eleven in senior squad but it was not such exciting start for him in his senior career as it was quite bumpy at first despite his debut was playing for Malaysia under 23 in Olympic qualifiers in 2004. Sadly his roles were limited only for substitutions.

But fortunes were dramatically changed when B.Sathianathan took over from the failure of previous coach Norizan Bakar in Asian Cup.Together with Zaquan Adha, they played as twin strikers under new helm coach B.Sathianathan.

The pinnacle was when he being called up by present coach Dato' K. Rajagopal to play for AFF Cup squad where he shoned to many occasions until led Malaysia to our very first AFF championships!

He scored twice in semi final match against Vietnam to secure 2-0 win and another brace in final against Indonesia which in the match Malaysia won 3-0 in the first leg of finals. He is now played with Indonesian outfit, Pelita Jaya after impressive performance in AFF.

Video reminiscing our sweet win against Vietnam in semi-final AFF 2010

His style of play, shooting technique combined with great pace never failed to contribute many goals from many ways be it from header or overhead kick. Due to his shooting technique was the reason he used being compared with our legend Mokhtar Dahari aka SuperMokh whose many believed due to he is our best striker ever had since SuperMokh's era. He was rumored attracted few clubs in Bundesliga and he recently had his trials with Malaysia's owned club Cardiff City.

Talking rubbish about Masterchef Malaysia - Zahin & Ary Malek

2011-12-01T04:29:00.001+08:00

Zahin eliminated finally. Serves you right even though i don't know why i felt so annoyed with him everytime i watched masterchef malaysia. Menyampah gile if Malays say.

Now next to be eliminated is Ary Malek, buzz celebrity who surprisingly chosen for this reality tv competition. Dont ask me why she would be next. As like former, i seriously dont have the answer.

Ary Malek (centre) and Zahin (wearing spectacles)

Sadly, the standard of our

I watched Masterchef Junior Australia and i can say all their 10 finalists would easily fit and won our Masterchef!

Besides, i wonder why the other two chef apart of Chef Riz seems like following script everytime they talked and too monotonous. I think both of them need to be sacked because they made the show looks so damn boring. Don't they realized?

A shambolical programme as far as i can see!

Know your footballers - Nazmi Faiz Mansor

2011-12-01T04:12:00.001+08:00

Nazmi should thank to me because he is the first Malaysian footballers highlighted in my new post of Know your footballers.

I was planning to write about him after Safee Sali but his meteoric rising since the recent SEA Games until the last game played for Olympic Qualifiers against Bahrain which he scored 40 yards screamer made me compelled to put him first!

So who is he? Just put it short because i know everyone's eyes were already opened to this 17 year old performance dubbed as our 'WONDERKIDS' and had started digging information on him.

Our next Azizol Abu Haniffah maybe? Only time can tell

The fact he was called-up in very last minute to SEA Games squad by coach Ong Kim Swee to replace another playmaker Gary Steven Robbart who was injured,indeed was a breathtaking one. Keep it up, Nazmi and i just hope that he would able to maintain the consistency of his level game play.

My precious thing

I could not sleep and always have problem to sleep which explained why i wrote this post.

Made if worst was my cough still not let away from me. Terrible isn't it when you always coughing and waking up during sleep?

In fact, i was just recovered from my sudden fever caused by sore-throat. Luckily it was a swift recovery to me.

It was not much of revelation to be made,was it? Haha...quite revelations already.

I just want to share with all of you a thing that was considered my worth buy ever or jewels in my women accessories box . It is my newly car, Honda Civic. It's completed me and consider my second wife...Haha.

Now i am setting up my target to have better life, instead of just work and work. Not least to set my sight to my another dream car, BMW.

Arghhh...what i was mumbling about. Madness!

P/s: Dont have any other intentions, just simply a post while you cannot have awaken from your disturbingly sleep.

Olympic 2012 Qualifiers - MALAYSIA blew the 2 goals lead and lost the game!

2011-11-29T01:29:00.001+08:00

Mathematically, we were out for Olympic

MALAYSIA 2 - 3 Bahrain

Stadium Bukit Jalil

I still cannot how we lost the game until now, or maybe i would never accept it. Ever!

I felt devastated thinking that we only have to go through another 10 minutes to relish our first winning in AFC Olympic Qualifiers which we were drawn in same group with Asian powerhouse, Japan, Syria and Bahrain.

I still am, and it will haunting me down even to my sleep. I bet coach Ong Kim Swee and his charged felt more than i was!

Bahrain in other hands were just playing for formality when they could not match with our superiority in game play for the whole 80 minutes let alone when they lose a player for straight red card but in the last 10 minutes was the moment made me hard to swallow the truth.

We had slipped our precious 3 points when we led comfortably by 2 goals.

What else i could say, we saw how committed they had played yesterday.

We saw how prowess we were, how much we were bettered than them for the last 80 minutes but i was very speechless when thinking back the 2 goals lead was still not enough to prevent the losses.

The only good thing for all of us now that is we already have a very good midfielder at the tender age of 17 year old. Remember this name Nazmi Faiz Mansor,who put stellar performance since the recent SEA Games in Indonesia where he was called up as replacement for play-maker Gary Steven Robbart.

I salute our Malaysian players and i will still cherishing,chanting and supporting them, even now. Please do not get me wrong.

But to be honest, when the scoreline was 2-1 i really think our coach Ong Kim Swee should urged his players to park the bus in penalty to ensure the goal advantage could be protected.

Mathematically we were out for Olympic contention since we only have 3 more matches to go, against Japan at home and another two are away matches against Syria and Bahrain.

Against Japan, we do not have high hopes even to get a point despite reason of playing at home turf due to quality of Samurai team when we met them in our first AFC Olympic qualifiers earlier. Unless, we play a total defensive play by park in the bus which it means putting all outfield players in front our goalkeeper.

While against Syria and Bahrain, we do have qualities to beat them but we could not make silly mistakes like how we did here.

Lets pray, all players would able to recover from their injuries and will at their level best to gather as many points they could, if it was not able to put them through in play-off then at least to savor for our dignities.

It was obviously showed that our gap between middle-east team were not as big as we thought. Now it is time for our players to rejuvenate and revise what had happened in 2 big games that was held recently. If they could rectify the errors they mad, Syria and Bahrain have no hope against us. Trust me!

Can you Malaysians still support them when they needing the most now?

Pride with own colors, could you?

A 6 year old Muhammad Izzat Daniel who had turned down Chelsea invitation

2011-11-21T01:48:00.001+08:00

A great loss indeed!!!

2 years ago on NST it was reported a 6 year old Malaysian boy Muhammad Izzat Daniel received invitation to join Chelsea FC Elite Training programme but the joy was short-lived due to he has to come back to Malaysia after his mum graduating her Phd studies in UK. As she has finished her studies, the whole family will return to Malaysia next month.

It was a dream come true not just to the kid but also to his father Nor Hisham who was an engineer in profession and firm supporter of Chelsea FC.

He had earlier taken Daniel to trial sessions at Chelsea training grounds in Cobham during an Easter break where Daniel emerged best player for the under sevens. Daniel was asked to join further trials where he again excelled, impressing Chelsea coaches who sent him another invitation to join the Chelsea FC Elite Training Centre in Surrey.

Since the age of two, Daniel had shown tremendous talent and thus his parent taken him to join Oxford under 7 team where he played as striker. Coach in Oxford was impressed by his speed and dribbling skills.This was a story of a boy who attended trials with Chelsea just for a treat from his parent and chosen among 25 players to join the advance team.He was Muhammad Izzat Daniel.

Yes it was a great loss especially it was very hard to convince Malaysian parent that choosing football as career path or to choose football as serious thing ahead of study. But considering UK's football program is a solid structure with educational arrangement to ensure the youngsters not slipped out from study and well balanced with sport developments.

I am not blaming his parent though as a parent myself i really understand how it feels when being part from our child since his tender age. Let alone the distance between you and him is challenging feelings to any parent in this world.

Any hints where is he now and what he is up to now?

CRC Football Academy in Penang tied up for long term partnership with Cruzeiro

I've found something interesting that i must share with viewers(despite only one or two viewers came to my blog or even posted comments here) when i was actually browsing internet to find Malaysian who plays football professionally or trains in football academy abroad.

It was an eye opener that one amateur club has signed a long term partnership with renown club in Brazil, Cruzeiro and this has happened a year ago!

The memorandum of understanding(MoU) was signed by the founder and chairman of the CRC Football Academy Mr.Laurence Loh and the International Director of Cruzeiro Esporte Club, Mr. Pedro Moreira at CRC Club House at Victoria House in George Town.

The training will be conducted under the guidance of head coach Jaino Matos, a Brazilian who is said to be most instrumental in bringing together Cruzeiro and CRC.

The pact has even kicked off with project sending 4 of their young players to Brazil whom one of them reportedly shined during a month stint. He was the one that i've reported in my article recently that a 15 years old boy from Malaysia has attracted Cruzeiro interest, remember now?

Maybe,in the next 5 years Penang will set to be one of football powerhouse to be reckoned in Malaysia. Who knows?

It is a remarkable achievement that deserves a pat. However,i ponder how a tiny and amateur club would able to do something which FAM states affiliates have failed?

Wake up call to you, FAM and its states affiliates!

Malaysian boy signed 2 years contract with QPR

13 year old Malaysian boy signed with QPR

Future looks bright for Malaysian football scene but it would turned otherwise if FAM does not do their job to keep intact with the boy.

Last year in 2010, a 13-year-old Malaysian gifted footballer, Ash Hameed from Selangor, has signed a two-year contract with the Queens Park Rangers Football Club (QPR) in April 2010 that would expired until June 2012.

Ash, a left-foot striker, first raised the attention of various football clubs after helping the Crest Academy win the Middlesex Watkin League Cup for Brent Schools under-12s with a five-goal burst.

Ash's father used to be a player of the Malaysia youth football team under-18s and the Selangor football team (1988 to 1990). He decided to send Ash to England after discovering his son's high talent in playing football.

He said: "I have been giving him basic football skill training since he was young. I sent him to the local Brazil Football Centre when he was six years old.

Many coaches of the centre told me that Ash was gifted. They also suggested that I should send him to England for training.

"I brought Ash to England in 2008 and we faced some difficulties at the beginning. We had looked for many schools before Ash was accepted by the Kodak Football Club. The youth training centre of the Arsenal Football Club had also given him a training offer."

He also said that Ash had been selected as one of the eight best players of the QPR and was informed to play in an invitation tournament under-15s of an Europe football club. The participating teams included famed teams like Barcelona. However, the QPR did not send the team to play in the end and he believed that it was due to sponsorship problems.

Applaud to Malacca and Pahang for harsher laws on Muslim gays

2011-11-18T01:27:00.001+08:00

In a wake of annual sexuality were crackdown and canceled that created bustling in media recently ,two states bravely being forefront in amend their state laws to punish Muslims who engage in homosexuality. It is a good move especially thinking of that this kind of behavior would become norm among Muslims who synonymously in Malaysia are Malays.

Freedom is indeed is practiced in Islam but to NGO who laudly supported this equality movement especially bringing Islam name in their association must remember ISLAM does not allow or condone this act.

Perhaps Muslims who supported this and did so much comments on sexual equality should think and repent since the act of deviation led through many ways like from your actions and conversations. Many Surahs can be quoted but lets take example in Surah Al-Kafirun which stated

Sahih International

For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."

Malay

"Bagi kamu ugama kamu, dan bagiku ugamaku".

In the surah above, it is clearly state but in hidden ways on how different our life as Muslim with non-Muslim.

Do i need to clarify or explain how should a Muslim justify its Islamic devotions, not just by a name or stated Muslim in their identity card to carry himself in their daily life?

No doubt the NGO would bring thousand SURAHs to counterpart mine, but there is a but, you could not pick a part of surah like how you loved to pick any pillar of Islam faith and any other than you feel do not like it you would throw it away from your life.

Remember, we have our biggest wonder still be with us that are our Hadith and Quran if we think we have deviated from our path lead by our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and his companions!

What facts could not be changed and this clearly not condone by ISLAM.

Football Sea Games - Indonesia crashed and burned by MALAYSIA!

2011-11-18T00:24:00.001+08:00

Indonesia DIGANYANG Malaysia!

A shameful, disgraceful and unsporting Indonesian fans showed disrespect to Malaysia by making noise when our national anthem sung had served them right with embarrassing loss to defending football SEA Games champions Malaysia.

There was nothing much of satisfying moments other than watching Indonesia been 'GANYANG' (crushed) in front of their arrogant and psychotic supporters. It was not just for whole football matches involved Malaysia but whole contingent whether against their own team or other teams. Is this a sportsmanship we expected to have when we established the region sports tournament?

If it is, then i really think the SEA Games had failed of its objective to instill sportsmanship among nations took part into this biennial games.

A solitary goal by nippy flanker Shahrul Azwari in 17th minutes was enough to sink and shut the Indonesians' noises in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Priceless feelings!!

He came in as subsitute in 11th minutes when his compatriot Wan Zaharulnizam limped and could not continue with his game.

There was some shortcomings in spite of this elusive winning, should our lone striker Izzaq Faris profligation in front of goal converted the scoreline could be 3 or 4 nil to Malaysia. This is something that he and coach Ong Kim Swee need to address before semi final against Myanmar this 19th November 2011. In backline however, it looks very sturdy.

With Indonesia humiliation loss in front of their own spectators,MALAYSIA replacing them in top spots of Group A unbeaten while Indonesia second. Thus, MALAYSIA will meet Myanmar in semi final and Indonesia will meet Vietnam in another semi final. Another interesting fact is that with this winning,Malaysia have erased the 8 years record without winning in Gelora Bung Karno. Congratulations to our Young Tigers and hope this momentum could be repeated in semi final and bring us the coveted gold medal to repeat the success in 2009!

International Friendlies: MALAYSIA humbled by 160th ranked India

2011-11-17T13:08:00.001+08:00

MALAYSIA were downed 2-3 to India yesterday in Calcutta. Team coached by K.Rajagobal did not use this golden opportunity to improve FIFA ranking instead they were denied by lowly 160th ranked India.

Disastrous indeed considering the main sports in India are cricket and hockey unlike us as a fanatical football nation which on paper we are able to beat them easily especially when our neighbours like Vietnam and Thailand have astounding record against India.

Something is wrong somewhere but it is never too late for Rajagobal and his charged to improve this situation but the facts of losing to India seriously was heartening that would never been forgotten!

Espanyol sign Indonesian youngster

As usual in every morning that i was not working, besides of reading newspaper online i would spare my time in reading goal.com. I was quite in awe after reading this news,La Liga outfit signed 18 years old Indonesian, Arthur Irawan.

Arthur Irawan during contract signing ceremony with Espanyol official

According to club officials, he is set to play with junior team before joining the senior team. Now it is up to coaching management to bring the best of him while making him adept with style of European's football level.

Interesting isn't it? I seriously think this is an exciting future for the youngster apart of Indonesian football compared with our trio(Fadhli Shas, Irfan Fazail and Wan Zack Wan Haikal) who have not yet playing more than 20 minutes on field playing with Slovakian outfits. Disappointment to be honest, perhaps it was due to some interventions from our authorization personnel to make the club loan our trio? The possibility is there.

Is it enough with 6000 parking bays,Mr.Transport Minister?

2011-11-16T18:16:00.001+08:00

Looking at figures released by our Mr.Transport Minister, i was quite unimpressed when i comparing it with the ridership of people using our railed public transportation (LRT & KTM komuter).

I immediately asked myself and feel doubted whether it is enough to accommodate cars? We are talking about hundred thousands of ridership dailies and they are coming from scattered stations so obviously my concern is having good basis. More importantly, more parking bays is needed in areas that have more commuters.

Monsoon is coming, Embracing or preventing the flood?

2011-11-16T17:57:00.001+08:00

Do not embracing it but preventing is our priority!

I was quite baffled when reading newspaper saying that a lot of actions have been done if flood is occurred at the hot-spots area that usually a flood prone areas.

It is good that government make everything in place but should not it is good to be heard if preventing actions to be given priority to mitigate the flood or at least minimizing its impact?

Football SEA GAMES - MALAYSIA vs Indonesia

2011-11-15T04:24:00.001+08:00

Grouping Stage

MALAYSIA vs Indonesia

Gelora Bung Karno Stadium

The rivalries will be continued in a highly awaited match in their last grouping stage match of Group A.

The group is comprises of defending champion,Malaysia, host Indonesia, Asean football powerhouse Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia. Many dubbed this group as group of death while for some Indonesian reporters stated it is group of HELL.

MALAYSIA need to secure a win to top the group since Indonesia has beaten Thailand prior to the match.

If Malaysia only managed with a draw, it means they finished in second spot behind Indonesia in Group A and they will meet Vietnam in semi-final. If they lose, Thailand vs Singapore that will be held earlier than this match will be a decider.

Should Singapore win against Thailand, a goal different will be decided whether Malaysia or Singapore will go through. Least believed this match shall goes to Singapore and if that happened, the scenario not much affected on who will be going through along Indonesia who have perfect points from 3 matches so far.

However,the scenario as above would not needed if MALAYSIA win against Indonesia which means MALAYSIA will top of Group A preventing them facing tenacious Vietnam in semifinal.

The match can be watched on TV1, TV3 and Astro Sports Arena live today at 8pm Malaysia time. All the best to Young Tigers and hope they could beat Indonesia's ego in front of their passionate fans. It would not come easily though since their fans surely will throng to the stadium to cheer for the team.

International Friendly - MALAYSIA vs India

2011-11-15T03:30:00.001+08:00

MALAYSIA 1 - 1 India

Safiq Rahim 41' Syed Rahim 87'

Malaysia just managed to secure a draw in their 1st of 2 away series match against India which not much of brilliant play displayed from both team.

Malaysia's goal came from highly rated attacking midfielder,Safiq Rahim few minutes before the interval. Prolific striker,Safee Sali who played in Indonesia league however did not play due to he joined the team just few hours before the match kicked off.

Malaysia played without several familiar faces currently playing with under 23 squad in SEA games like Baddrol Bakhtiar, Asraruddin Putra, .Mahali Jasuli, Fadhli Shas, Muslim Ahmad and Khairul Fahmi Che Mat. Safee Sali strike partner Norshahrul Idlan Talaha however could not been confirmed whether he is brought into the squad to India by national coach K.Rajagobal

Hopefully in the 2nd match on 16th November 2011, Malaysia could chalk a winning notes since this is A type match and India are ranked lower in FIFA compared to us!

Bon appetit! Interesting dining places

I bet you would starving like hell after watching this video
3 interesting dining places, it was not due to its majestic names or themes or classy places
but it was chosen as interesting place to be dined because its FOOD!
First, if you would like to have brunch with ginormous 12 eggs omelette at Beth's Cafe
Secondly the scrumptious onion ring and its crabby patty like burger that won accolades many time,RED MILL BURGERS. ahhhh....my saliva is drooling while typing this.
Lastly having a fresh sea feast for your dinner at THE CRAB POT restaurant. Here,you will enjoy the uniqueness by having all the foods right onto your table!

Why we dont have such things here in Malaysia? Hmmm...it certainly gives me ideas!

Bon appetite! Beth's Cafe 12-eggs omelette

2011-10-28T02:38:00.002+08:00

Last night i watched Travel and Living Channel (TLC) and was stumbled upon this Man vs Food series which in this episode Adam the programme host brought us and(oh,dont ask which episode coz i seriously did not aware of it) highlighted on some seafood restaurant and another awesome dining place (in which i clearly remember its name,BETH's Cafe) to indulge your appetite for a brunch. It is located in Seattle and its special menu would be 12-eggs omelette. Yes,you heard me,12 eggs!

During the programme was being aired,i realized Adam was asking to a group of like Malaysian students but i seriously could not confirm it. My hunch telling me that they are Malaysian and that would be great to me to try the foods here if it is HALAL, who knows one day i came to this place! Maybe somebody who is Muslim and ever visited or had dining experiences here could share with me since i was curious whether it is HALAL food.

I have found some comments on this famous cafe in internet and also its own official website of Beth's Cafe. Oh my gosh, watching this programme really makes me craving for delicious foods! I envy you, Adam...to be honest.

15 years old Malaysian, Kumaahran attracts interest of Brazilian Club, Cruzeiro

2011-10-28T01:05:00.005+08:00

Little known with football fans here a Brazilian club called as Cruzeiro but it was where all started with Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima, a football living legend who we used to know him as Ronaldo the "Phemenomon" since we were all hyped with an EPL or La Liga that have even outshone the domestic league news.

But soon perhaps the scenario could be changed when our teenage prodigy, Kumaahran has attracted Cruzeiro after the 15 year old impressed during a one month stint training camp last August.

It is reported that now the club have offered him an extended trial with them next year. Now it is all on this 15 year old prodigy midfielder hands to impress the club during the stint next year.

2011-10-20T01:46:00.002+08:00

Surah Yusuf (Joseph), verses of 101 -105

Conclusion that i get when recited surah Yusuf verses 101-105 are as following:

1] In verse 101, Allah reminded us all who is prophet Yusuf and to those who doubted his religion that he is Muslim (Islam). In fact the Islam has started its preaching since prophet of Adam.

2] In verse 102, it has proved that Quran is not human made or Muhammad-made as facts Muhammad was ill-literate in his early days before he bestowed with prophecy. The event was told by prophet Muhammad with guidance of Allah through Jibrail (Gabriel) when he had being challenged by one Mecca scholar to tell the Yusuf story if Muhammad is righteous people.

3] In verse 103, Allah reminded prophet Muhammad that few humans would not devoted to Islam no matter how hard he tried.

4] In verse 105, Allah understood very well with the stubbornness and stupidity of creature called human despite they bestowed with brain.

12:101 - The verse where prophet Yusuf(Joseph) praid to Allah to die him as a Muslim and righteous people.

Sahih International

My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous."

Malay

"Wahai Tuhanku! Sesungguhnya Engkau telah mengurniakan daku sebahagian dari kekuasaan (pemerintahan) dan mengajarku sebahagian dari ilmu tafsiran mimpi. Wahai Tuhan yang menciptakan langit dan bumi Engkau Penguasa dan Pelindungku di dunia dan di akhirat; sempurnakanlah ajalku (ketika mati) dalam keadaan Islam, dan hubungkanlah daku dengan orang-orang yang soleh".

12:102 - The verse explained on truthfulness of prophet Muhammad about the events of Yusuf and his brothers which impossible Muhammad to know the details of events unless Allah told him all of these including the plot of Yusuf's brothers to throw him into the wells.

Sahih International

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal, [O Muhammad], to you. And you were not with them when they put together their plan while they conspired.

Malay

(Kisah nabi Yusuf) yang demikian ialah dari berita-berita yang ghaib yang kami wahyukan kepadamu (wahai Muhammad), sedang engkau tidak ada bersama-sama mereka semasa mereka sekata mengambil keputusan (hendak membuang Yusuf ke dalam perigi) dan semasa mereka menjalankan rancangan jahat (terhadapnya untuk membinasakannya).

12:103 - Allah reminded Muhammad that few humans would not devoted to Islam no matter how hard Muhammad tried.

Sahih International

And most of the people, although you strive [for it], are not believers.

Malay

Dan kebanyakan manusia tidak akan beriman walaupun engkau terlalu ingin (supaya mereka beriman).

12:104

Sahih International

And you do not ask of them for it any payment. It is not except a reminder to the worlds.

Malay

Padahal engkau tidak meminta kepada mereka sebarang upah tentang ajaran Al-Quran, sedang Al-Quran itu tidak lain hanyalah peringatan dan pengajaran dari Allah bagi umat manusia seluruhnya.

12:105 - Allah understood very well the stubbornness and stupidity of creature called human despite they bestowed with brain.

Sahih International

And how many a sign within the heavens and earth do they pass over while they, therefrom, are turning away.

Dan berapa banyak tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah di langit dan di bumi yang mereka menyaksikannya berulang-ulang semasa mereka pagi dan datang, sedang mereka tidak juga menghiraukan dan memikirkannya.

Result of Match day 1 :
Japan 2 - 0 MALAYSIA

International Friendly: Why MALAYSIA lost heavily 0-5 to Aussie?

2011-10-11T01:51:00.002+08:00

If you ask me, i would say we were too hesitant when the ball is at our feet.
We gave too much respect to Aussie players when supposed it is our platform that we should capitulate to show to the world how good the team in 147th in the world playing football. But it turned as a nightmare.

Our players were too scared when had given golden opportunities to show their talents except nippy flankers who are now with Olympic squad Wan Zaharulnizam. Others, were all like scrap, sorry to say this.
Our play is not much different with Thais and Indonesia, but why when we were against big team we fell down easily? Vietnam showed how much they had challenged Japan until the very last minutes which eventually they lost with 0-1 but they fought bravely and not with parking bus in the penalty box. Yes,we are talking of Japan senior team that Vietnam faced. But we played like schoolboys when our young squad against the young samurai, didnt they?

Why? Unlike our ASEAN neighbours,we held too much respect to big team when knowing you had slighted chance to win against team and intimidated to show off what do you get against them!
We could and capable to at least held Aussie to be honest like what Indonesia done by sharing the spoils not long ago with a goal from Bambang Pamungkas steals the draw. So,why cannot we do the same?
It is all back to our WINNING MENTALITY, to be honest that we should polished off. Technicality we are not less compared to the big team.
As a fact, that was the first time we had beaten by 0-5 after being mauled by UAE when Malaysia coached by B.Sathianathan. The match that i would not forgotten easily as i was there supporting for Malaysia.

Hunting a place called HOME

2011-10-11T01:33:00.002+08:00

Unexpectedly there was no call-back for these 2 days which trust me i have waited for these moments to come. I have had not opportunities to lay back at home and spending time with beloved called family. If there was, i only had time watching astro and then gone to sleep due to tiresome at works. It was blessing disguised as well since my daughter,Zahra has fallen ill due to fever. I could use this to take care of her which until now i am watching her closely. Hopefully she will be doing fine. If there was no any improvements, maybe i will need to take emergency leave when my next cycle of shift kicked off on Wednesday. Pray the best for Zahra!

These 2 days were the days where i cleaning up my store-room which i have not had the opportunity to do it for the past 2 years! Imagine that. Works works and works. Now, the self converted maid-room cum store room is neat and tidy compared to the past. Windows are all well clean as well. The same with kitchen.

I also took this opportunity to look for some potential properties for me in the next few years as place we called it as HOME. If you ask me, there are lot of potentials place but realistically i was not interested in northern klang valley like Saujana Utama in Sungai Buloh, or Nusa Rhu at Puncak Alam or any properties nearby. It is too far and all the money will all went to transportation costs.

To be honest, i would love to buy properties at a place where i am currently renting, at Bukit Jalil. Tranquility, amenities are nearby and in the heart of Puchong while having option whether want to use expressways or trunk road unlike other places in Puchong where you have to whether like it or not to use LDP expressways.

But i guess lady luck was not with me, if not for now i have already a property at here if it was not some retarded landlord who cancelled my S&P in very last minutes. I was fortunate enough that the agent and S&P lawyer agreed to return back the money i paid to them which is not some chunk of money! Lesson learnt, if you would like to buy subsale property and to prevent that to happen again i am now preferred to buy new development property like Desa Saujana@ Saujana Putra that i went today.

It was coincident event since at first i decided only to view some properties at Saujana Putra from different developer,LBS like Topaz 4, Ivory and Pear(Townhouse). My wife and i were really interested to take a look on Ivory(semi-d) but it was sold out and will only release its new phase maybe at the end of this year or maybe next year. Apart of this property, none had attracted my attention.

Frustrated i decided to take a look properties at Nilai Impian developed by Sime Darby, though heavy-hearted have to admit that it is might our potential residency left. Trust me, Southern corridor like Saujana Putra until Nilai will be the next big thing but Nilai quite further compared to Saujana Putra and it is only 10 minutes away from first LRT station for Putra Heights extension link. On my way back heading to Elite expressways i saw advertisement board of this property Desa Saujana and i thought why not give a try to have a look? So,i immediately diverted to the show room instead going off to Nilai.
I was quite impressed with the build up area and with the price of you pay with the quality that you would get and who knows, i might own it which i could call it as HOME SWEET HOME! Now, waiting for the property agent to call me for the next process!

Ivory residences that had captivated my heart. But i was late!

DESA SAUJANA@SAUJANA PUTRA. Dont get me wrong,this is aint my number.

VCP 4.1 - vNetwork Standard Switch

2011-10-05T03:19:00.001+08:00

Components of vNetwork Standard Switches

You may need to know,remember and distinguish the terms of each components consist in vNetwork. v here means virtual.

vNetwork components

virtual machine (vm)
vNIC, virtual network adapters.
pNIC or interchangeably we called it as an UPLINK or VMNIC.
vSwift or service console
vSwitches,virtual switches that its functionality is same like physical switches.But why do we need physical switches too,when the vSwitches alone is having same functionality alike?The answer lies on vSwitches allow vm on the same host to communicate with each other. They also support vlan. Another advantage is NIC teaming, a capability of binding multiple VMNICs together.
physical switches

vSwitches

Each ESX/ESXi host can have one or more vSwitches.

Maximum vSwitches can be created on single host is 127.

Default number of logical port is 56 but it can goes to 4088 (maximum).

Three types of connection

vm connectivity
vmkernel for accessing IP storage as such NFS,iSCSI and also for vmotion
service console, for remote management on ESX host

ALBERT shelving unit from IKEA

2011-10-04T02:41:00.001+08:00

ALBERT shelving unit

Phew..i have just completed fixing this newly shelving i bought at IKEA after so much hard-works doing it alone . I wish i would have with me screw machine with me but nehhh, if i have some money then i would buy it.

As for now, i really think the money should better use for other purpose that i would really need. It is true with that,completion time could be shortened to fix the shelve for example.

Lets take example for the shelve, it took about one year for me to own it. Just ask my wife, how many times if we went to IKEA or by any chance accompany our family from hometown loitering around Damansara we would went home empty-handed or just bought small stuffs there.

Despite of my home almost half were IKEA made but does not meant i am frequent visitor to IKEA. It is only item that i do really think i would need and fit for that reason then i would withdraw money to get it. Same as ALBERT shelving unit to complement another IKEA shelving unit, GORM that i fit it in my store room. Now it could make the place tidier and neat.

Maybe if i got time, i will publish the same entry with photos on how both shelving units complement each other in my store room.

KK Vacation : The end is here

2011-09-29T04:07:00.000+08:00

Now back to KL which means WORK and how Zahra has became instant hit infant in KK (LOL)

Safely landed LCCT today at 1645Hours but as soon as i reached here, the mood suddenly swifted to work.
Yeah, i suggest it made me calmer when having 2 gorgeous FA in our flight back to KL...A land of workloads, as opposed with Sabah, a Land below the wind. I'd say it is a worldly paradise!
Arghhhhh.....boring!!!!!!!!
I really cannot wait for the next vacation to Bandung.

Isn't it nice everyday is vacation day?
Nexus Karambunai, i have already missed my temporary stints there.
No wonder, some says it's heaven! (that is their punchline anyways...lol)

I will published (no mood actually since mind is still thinking of works, works and works...hopefully there will be no callback this Saturday & Sunday) on what had happened during the 3rd day which we all conquering Mount Kinabalu. Did you really believed that? Mount Kinabalu yes, you have to believe but not until the top for sure. Moreover with fussy Zahra (my 8 months daughter and only child in my family) it would be miracle if we could survived carrying like a bag of rice until the top.

And how Zahra, once again had capitulated stardom attraction by receiving a pearl bracelet F.O.C at Philippines Market when we came there for a second time. In fact, anywhere she had caught attention alike celebrity. Even foreign tourist who passed by will come over, touch her fluffy cheeks and snap photos of her. What a truly talent of infant model,huh?

KK Vacation : Blogging from Nexus Karambunai - Day 2

2011-09-26T19:28:00.001+08:00

Day 2 : Exploring the city

In the 1st chapter,i have shared my experience here like searching for a car rental and my arrivals at Nexus Karambunai on my very hours after stepped on a land below the wind.

Prior loading all stuffs into my room,i immediately asking around where i could get car rental. Here shuttle bus is provided but for me it is not suitable for tourists like me who would relished every hours until you closed your eyes but it was due to you have to follow its schedule and only lasts until 5pm!

The worst part,as adult you will be charged RM27 per journey! Imagined how much it will cost me! Crazy isn't it?

Huge amount that i have to pick out from my wallet just to go and forth from Kota Kinabalu which is about 45 minutes adrift from Nexus Karambunai.

So, i have to fork out RM160,seriously though i am not sure till now whether it is bargain price or otherwise but with that i have got Myvi with me per day. Another RM50 is charged for delivery fees. Willingly or otherwise, i have to, dont i?

In the morning

I had some waffles, a porridge, 2 half boiled eggs, some fruits as dessert for my lil breakfast at Kingfisher Restaurant, i went off to KK town. The first place i visited was Atkinson Clock Tower. It is situated on the hill facing the town, adjacent to Police Station and Padang Merdeka.

The historic part on the clock tower, it was instructed to be built by the mother of KK's (that time it was known as Jesselton City) first district officer in memory of her son who died tragically from tropical disease at age of 28. It was one of 3 pre-world war 2 buildings that stood still from massive destruction during war. Uniquely, the clock is still ticking!

Then i went up just few meters above from the clock tower to reached at Signal Hill Observatory Platform. It is believed the highest point of the city and one of good place where you could have the whole city view which outlaying the seas further.

By the time i started my car engine i realized that the gas is running out and to ensure i will reach foothill again I've opted to use fresh air instead of car air-conditioned. The journey continues after interim stopped at petrol station in the heart of city.

The next place we've visited was Sabah Tourism Board Building which it was one of colonial building that still standing tough from Allied bombings during World War 2. We have to walk to reach to the there due to all parking spaces around the building was occupied and we parked the car within 5-7 minutes walk.

Located at the same street as Sabah Tourism Board Building you would find a Jesselton Hotel. The sun was like on top of our head that time, so we stopped by at Oldtown just opposite the hotel to quench our thirst. After getting our energy back, we walked to Australian place as stated in map that i first get at the airport. It was stated this place was a place the Aussie soldiers camped when they landed at the city but i misunderstood 'camp' as a place where they resided. Unfortunately,camp here as i understood was a place where the soldiers fixed their tents as shelter as soon they reached the land here in the city. Disappointed? Yes, deeply i was same with my wife due to we have to walk under scorching suns and with tricking sweat underneath our shirts. So hot that we could not resist.

Yes,it was so hot but i felt it was much hotter looking at all local craft made sold at Philippines Market that tempted you to buy them all with bargained prices. We spent almost RM500 for pearls, brooches and few magnet fridges with Sabah emblazoned on top of it. Sounds piece of business? Ah, i am unsure about that when shopped with woman.
I also bought few delicacies from market nearby like amplang and kuih cincin for my tid-bits at home.

Evening
We adjourned our activity at town by going back to Nexus to have some splashing activity on the beach and at swimming pool. Important to remember that here in KK, the night falls earlier at 6pm so we managed to reach our resort at 4pm.

I had best time on challenging myself with medium size of waves that i really think it suits for anyone who could do board surfing. I tried to bring Zahra, my daughter to get use with swimming at her tender age but as soon as her foot touched the sea, she started to cry out loud. As loud as far as my wife sat at lazy chair at the beach. I tried to calm her down and soon after she stopped crying, i tried again bringing her with me into the sea. But same as earlier, she cried. So,i have to give her back to her mom's arm while i had some few minutes alone in the sea.

Then we all heading to swimming pool as what for having stay at high class resort that have pool but you would never get use of it? Another reason was because i thought maybe Zahra would not afraid of swimming pool compared to big ocean but as soon she touches the water in swimming pool, she cries. Cry that could make everyone looked at you what is happening. But i made thick face because it is my baby and i was teaching her to get comfort with swimming.

At 7.30pm,we continued searching out for dinner that i've failed on our first night locating the best sea foods advertised by taxi driver who drove us to Nexus.

We met with my wife's colleague,Ms Claudia who was at the same vacation like us here in KK. She advised to join her and mom at the best seafood place ever in KK at Kampung Air foodcourt. Here, every sea foods that you would like to have is guaranteed is fresh one!

Why i dare to say that is because all sea foods are being kept fresh in the aquariums.
While i was so busy enjoying moments looking and choosing what i will be having, i realized one celebrity standing just besides of my wife. She is Irma Hasmy. My wife thought she was here just to release here tense since her ex,Nabil will held his wed next week. But i guess my wife was wrong since we saw another actress, Liyana is also here at same place we have had our dinner.

So what did i have for our dinner there?
I chosed 2 crabs for blackpepper cooked, one plate with massive sized of oysters for omelette cooked and one big size of sea carp fish cooked with nyonya style and one plate of veggies.
How much for all these including two bowl of rice and drinks? I had fresh orange while my wife just enough with hot tea.
You must be surprised, it was only RM129.50.
Yeah, i have to agreed that is the best place for you to enjoy the sea foods.

After had enough with our dinner, we have gone back to resort to fresh ourselves for tomorrow activity.

Tomorrow, we've planned to go to Kinabalu park! Here we go!

KK Vacation : Blogging from Nexus Karambunai

2011-09-25T15:29:00.000+08:00

Departed from KL

We left home as early as 7am since we have to catch up with our flights at 9.25am but unfortunately flight was delayed due to some circumstances. Thanks to my parent who coincidentally came down to KL to celebrate my father's birthday and they voluntarily want to send us to airport.

Zahra and i before the plane take off

A cumulonimbus cloud clearly seen here from our window

We have to use many ways as such as taking photos of here to calm down our princess Zahra from making noise due to restless 2 hours journey for infant like her.

Another way and the effective ways above others, put the pacifier into her mouth. LOL!

Arrival at KK

Finally arrived at Nexus Karambunai after 2 hours journey on the plane. Yeah, you heard me. I am staying at Nexus Karambunai(wrote this proudly,lol), a resort that never thought in my head that one day i will set my foot here. It is about 45 minutes from KK city centre.

Ok, stop writing for today, now it is time for me to look for a car rental and searching for meals to entertain my empty stomach.

At our resort just after stepped into the room. Awesome and what a good start for our vacation here.

Look how happy our princess even by laying down on the fluffy bed.

The background is the balcony facing the sea. Cool isn't?

Our big room at Nexus here. Looks how comfortable my princess even we leave her alone without looking her closely.

History : Is it our own Gunung Ledang is the Mount of Ophir?

2011-09-24T03:59:00.001+08:00

The mystical Mount Ledang is Mount Ophir?

It has been written in Biblical Old Testament , King Solomon or we known as Prophet Sulaiman had sent ships for the finest gold and almug woods or too many known it as Red Sandalwood which grows only in Southeast-Asia.

The ships sailed from Red sea port,Ezion Geber and headed to east due to the period taken to come and forth to Palestion was 3 years. If it is in Africa who many claimed as the Ophir of Solomon but such passage would be easily reached less than 3 years!

The real location of Ophir has been subject of much debate but in Old Testament it was stated not just Gold ore that was brought from Ophir by Hiram fleets but also valuable almug woods and stones.

Many of who has believed it was Malaysia peninsular, where the gold mountain lies. Huge gold ore had been extracted that was still unknown to the natives and according to them, there was few relics in unidentified written which was believed as many as Hebrew relics but unfortunately this could be claimed as huge point was ransacked during English invasion where they had taken all valuable history facts as to cleansing the proudest nation of Malaya and Kingdom of Malacca. If my claim was a baseless, then tell me why this mountain had been called as Mount of Ophir by them?

Deep down in my heart, i felt these relics had been brought to their keeps or perhaps in the museum like how historics document during Malacca Sultanate was in Lisbon Museum if it was not by Portuguese who invaded Malacca Kingdom in 1511?

Is our Mount Ledang is the Mount of Ophir stated in Biblical Old Testament? I could not telling the answer yet evident strongly showed it is.
Ironically if you could see one hotel named as Hotel Ophir. Subsequently, this was not the reason why i said it is.

Olympic 2012 Qualifier : Japan 2 vs 0 MALAYSIA

2011-09-24T03:04:00.000+08:00

It is nothing wrong by deploying total defensive approach

Have we forgotten that JAPAN are Asian champs!
Have we forgotten half of their players are playing trade in the best league in Asia and some are playing with prominent clubs in Europe?
Have we forgotten that they are the same team who had beaten us by 2-0 in Asian Games recently though that time we crafted history by advanced to second round after how many years?
So why so many critics lambasted to tactical approached by coach Ong Kim Swee?

Did we too optimistic by saying we have 3 Slovakian based players was enough to upset mighty Japan?
or Have we been blinded by virtues as one of 12 best teams in Asia after qualifying to the 3rd round so we could say we could stands tall with teams like Japan, South Korea or even with Iran? Nyeh, dont mention the plastic Aussie who claimed they are part of Asian. Fucking bastard!

By advancing to 3rd round, it only reveals how much gap do we have with top teams in Asia and from here, hopefully many sides would realized lot of works need to be done in reducing the gaps between them especially loser and pathetic FAM has failed thus far in providing competitive platform as well as to gather as many of players for our pool talents.

Yes, we lost easily but we lost to the best team in ASIA! There is nothing wrong with tactical approach as the objective we played there was to spoil the party by sharing a point, but indeed it was merely too fantasy by looking how nonthreatening of our counter-attack was.

No point of looking back. FAM must do something to improvise our league quality, only then we will have quality players.

To Ong Kim Swee and his charges, do not give up. We have more important games ahead, to defend our gold medals in SEA games and 2 home games for the next Olympic fixtures.

To Malaysians who does feel they wanted to change their colors, be realistic! If you guys could stand behind your so-called team of Kops, MengYu, Chelshits of MengShitty then i wonder why cant you do the same with your own country! Hey,smarthead, come-on! Open your purse and take your identity card if it was so hard to understand you are Malaysian.

From TOSU, thanks to Japan for their learning curve during the game and GAMBATE to our young boys despite this hurting loss.

World Car-Free Day - In Klang Valley

2011-09-24T02:36:00.001+08:00

Many words, IMPROVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONS first before we are ready to have car-free day. If we are having seamless public transportations while have ample park and ride facilities, it will be everyday is car-free day in Klang Valley.

It is just matter a less hassle and no choice of public transportations at their living are opted them to drive to workplace. Even for some place there are buses, people does not like hassle by hopping into 3 or 4 buses just to ensure them arrived at their workplace and later have to switch onto lrt mode. It is inconvenient! I wonder who is smartass arranged our public transportations in Klang Valley. (Fucking dumbass!)

Commuters too always complaint on impractical design of our bus-stop that hardly could shelter them from rainy days.

Start from the basic please, then our road would be a pleasant journey to have everyday!

Gaming : GoW3 is out in market!

2011-09-24T02:20:00.003+08:00

Whohoo....the most spectacular game i played so far is now released two days ago. I have played the 2nd instalment, Gears of War 2 and i was quite impressed with its story-line, apart of its awesome graphics.

If in 2nd instalment, it was all about Fenix (lead character) and co. showed here standing in the middle of the GoW poster tried to defend the last city of earth from aliens, locus who had invaded many cities. This time around, with all remaining soldiers, Fenix attempts to gain the cities back from the villain. Simple huh? That is what game is all about.

Surprisingly in the latest instalment the game creator had created female characters.

I must buy this game!

2011-09-21T18:14:00.001+08:00

Damn! What a tiresome yesterday night.
Yesterday i have worked from 7pm and comes off at 7am today morning.
I've encountered gray screen on one vm server. Server happens could not be accessed remotely which i suggested earlier it might lies on snapshot had taken much spaces in datastorage.
However, it is not.
There is anything significant found when i checked the task\event. Absolutely inaccessible even to vm console makes me wonder despite rebooted it twice.
Tried moved the vm to another host, but same thing happens.
Rebooted again and using safe mode but still the vm server has not respond as what i expect it should be.
What should be the reason?
Tried to fix it in hours but did not have a go and to save my ass off i had informed my team about this issue and later on my team had escalated this to Service Duty Manager along with the server owner.
Any advise on this issue?

iPad3 is rumored to be released anywhere from this fall to early next year, would not debut until next year.

Disappointed?
Perhaps you may but lets people who had bought the recent release iPad2 to relished their moments until the iPad3 is released.

That is what i had been heard and knew from experts and analysts globally. To anyone who had intention to buy iPad2, just forget it and wait until iPad3 is released.

Waiting is suffering? Maybe...
but sometimes, waiting could gain you something more precious. Don't you agree?

Malaysia struck through Nur Areff Kamaruddin four minutes from the break to put the half time score at 1-1.

The loss means Malaysia would face Myanmar in 3rd/4th placing tomorrow 21st September 2011.

XenServer: What is server virtualization

Why do you need virtualization?Why do you need to bother if you are a system administrator?

Was it for a good sake of it's hype and buzz around the virtualization itself without knowing how advantageous it will gives you compared to traditional method?

It was all come to 'Money', how much do you need to spend but on the other ends knowing how much it will gain for your business.

While in business terms, it was all come to easier to integrate, manage and automate comparing to physical server management in data centre. With virtualization, it will lessen all pains you had endured with simplication virtual data centre.

Watch the video to learn how different virtualization in changing the structure of managing data centre while simplifying the workload system administrators usually have to face.

Now,i am learning on citrix technology as much as how i keen in expanding my knowledge in its rival which is another leading virtual technology, VMware.

MALAYSIA beat Singapore to revive the campaign

Malaysia whipped Singapore by 6 goals

Malaysia revived their campaign for a place in the semi-finals of the AFF Under-19 Championship 2011 when they beat Singapore 6-0 while Thailand whitewashed Cambodia 5-0 to take control of Group A.

After being held scoreless by Cambodia in their first match and then losing 1-0 to the Thais, the Malaysians needed to improve their game for a chance to finish second in Group A and a place in the next round.

And that was precisely what they did at the Aung San Stadium as they played a more disciplined game to score three goals in each half.

“It was definitely a better performance although I’m still not satisfied with a few individuals could have done better,” said Ismail Ibrahim, the chief coach of Malaysia.

“Now, we will just have to make sure that we win our last game (against the Philippines) to make sure of our place in the semi-finals.”

National Football Transfer News - Safiq Rahim offered 3 weeks trial from Cardiff City

2011-08-29T02:41:00.005+08:00

3 weeks trial with Cardiff City

Cardiff City,a club currently playing in England 2nd division have offered 3 weeks trial to national central midfielder, Safiq Rahim through their chairman who is Malaysian entrepreneur, Dato Chan Tian Ghee.

Though chances to see our players bring happiness to Malaysian UK wannabe by playing with UK based club is still a universe away but it seems realistically due to more relaxed regulations to play in England second tier league which also known as Coca-Cola Championships rather than in EPL.

Even as Safiq Rahim prepares for his impending trials with Cardiff City, words of cautions have been voiced out against getting hopes overly high amongst excited Malaysians.

We have to remember that Cardiff City and QPR (recently linked with offering Safee Sali trials with them) are meant businesses, either commercially and on the pitch by ensuring they have only the best players they could afford.

With stakes are so high, no run-off-the-mill player can expect to earn a contract through the back door.

"Malaysia need to improve football world ranking",Tengku Abdullah

2011-08-29T00:43:00.011+08:00

They, FAM noticed the shortcomings but nothing had been done

The expression of frustration that has long been kept in Am_7riel's heart about the significant of A type international matches despite now and only comments made by Vice-President FAM Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah voicing out his concerns on Malaysia world ranking to attract local talents playing abroad especially in EPL.

I wonder whether he and other FAM reps aware that to have good ranking was not merely win matches sanctioned by FIFA but it comes along with providing national team with at least an A type friendly once in a month.

Do they know the significant of national team having A type international matches instead of having EPL clubs or any few other clubs playing against national team just for having sake to fill up the slot of international friendlies so they will have so called 'competitive matches' yet letting English wannabe to watch their beloved teams above the national team? I doubt they do. Look at his comment showed glimpses of unawareness of which matches is countable on FIFA world ranking and one is which not,

"Kalau boleh kita perlu membaiki ranking kita bukan sekadar kita menang Sukan SEA atau Piala Suzuki tetapi apa yang lebih penting lagi adalah di peringkat Piala Asia dan Sukan Olimpik,"ujarnya.

Should i think positively the statement made by Tengku is more like self-reminder and to his EPL wannabe committees on their negligence of their duties to provide team with more meaningful match in tandem with their renaissance of awareness that the mistakes would never reoccurred in the future.

Lets hope FAM spearheaded with Tengku Abdullah's wisdom words and sights that Malaysia would have quality matches yet will have chance in improving our world ranking rather than having meaningless circus matches like what we had few months back impetus on many disadvantages to our national team rather than good with notable causes lead to our losses to old foes, Singapore.

This October, Malaysia will play against Australia in the match we were invited but what is next for our national team? I reserved this question to Tengku and his committee to answer it.
