Liverpool signed Robbie Keane today for 20.3m quid. Finally, we have signed someone of stature. This signing has got me a little excited as I think he wld complement Torres nicely. But then, what wld Rafa's formation be? Will he play two strikers upfront now or stick to his 4-5-1? Can Gerrard, Keane and Torres all play together? It would be exciting to find out once the season starts. Can't wait!
PS : To David Levy(Spurs chairman), who claims that Liverpool "robbed" Keane from Spurs, stop dreaming! You got 20m quid for him, so shut up and go and buy 10 new players like you do every year!(And still fail to finish in top 6)

Should Joey Barton be given another chance?
I read today that Joey Barton(JB) is to be released from prison soon. He got out early from his 6 months prison sentence due to good behaviour. Good Behaviour??? Joey Barton and good behaviour cannot be mentioned in the same sentence. To the uninitiated, JB is one of the most indisciplined players ever to play in the English Premier League. He has stubbed a junior player's eye with a cigarette, beaten up people after drinking sessions at local pubs, bared his bottom to opposing team supporters and beaten teammate's faces to a pulp in training(That's y he was sentenced to 6 months prison term).
His manager in Newcastle, Kevin Keegan is hoping he has learnt his lesson and is welcoming him back with open arms(Obviously cos Newcastle paid s'thing like 10m quid for him). My question here is, do you think he deserves another chance? My personal opinion is he shd be banned from football for good. He is a disgrace to the game as he just continues to get himself into trouble each time he is given another chance. I am all for giving people opportunities to repent but JB is just beyond help. I can't think of another player with as bad a disciplinary record as him. So Keegan, sack him please!

A ray of sunlight!
With all the political gloom hovering over us daily, it is such a breath of fresh air when you read abt Malaysians that bring glory to our country. Over the past 2 weeks, our sportsmen/women have brought tremendous success to our country. Unfortunately they have been put in the shade due to the coverage given to our political circus. I would like to salute the following :
1)GAVIN Kyle Green(Golf) - winner of the under-14 World Golf Championships in the US
2)Men's senior and junior 5-men bowling teams - Winner of the World Bowling Championships 2008 (Senior) and Junior Asian Championships 2008 (Junior)
3)Nicol David(World No 1), Ong Beng Hee(World no 9) and Azlan Iskandar(World no 10)
4)Men's archery team - Silver medallist in recent world championships and world no 4.
To all these people : Great job! Best of luck and thank you for bringing us positive news!

New Malaysian words!
Received this in the mail today. Hilarious!!!
Words Malaysians can incorporate into their daily lives:
"Anwarized" - meaning: To get back-stabbed.. i.e. People who have been anwarized may contact the DPM's hotline
"Badawized" - meaning: To be stupified ...........i.e. Malaysians seem to be badawized by the media which reports biased news
"Najibbed" - meaning: To be blown to bits .....i.e. In this country,you better be careful with what you say, you can be najibbed otherwise
"Petrad" - meaning: To be exposed ...........i.e. Lately the BN coalition has been petrad in many ways
"KayJayed" - meaning: To shout for no reason i.e. He kayjayed in the Dewan and appeared like a moron
"Balaed" - meaning: To vanish suddenly i.e. They opposition balaed from the meeting in protest
"Lingamed" - meaning: To repeat redundantly i.e. The Information Minister lingamed the same rubbish in the debate recently.
"Soileked" - meaning: To be caught on tape i.e. People have stopped using budget hotels as they are afraid of being soileked.
As short Malaysian fiction :
Altantuya was cold bloodedly najibbed after she attempted to petra Najib for anwarising her and not making the promised payments.
Razak was badawized into covering up for Najib while Najib balaed from the scene. Razak was actually anwarized.
However Najib lingamed that he had nothing to do with it and has been kayjaying on the topic in an attempt to prove his innocence.
Nevertheless, some quarters have been threatening that they have soileked evidence that Najib was involved.
To Love Malaysia, is to know Malaysia"

Oops! Slight mistake!
In my previous blog, I mentioned that the PM and DPM has approved purchase of Trengganu's infamous Mercedez Benzs. Sorry, my mistake. But wait! The story now is that they have not approved it for the Trengganu's State exco but these cars are only for the usage of foreign dignitaries and on official functions only! My questions now are :
1)How many foreign visitors does the Trengganu state govt get in a month?
2)Even if there are, what official functions do they attend other than state dinners etc? R u saying that these VIPs will have to use other vehicles when they go sight-seeing?
3)While waiting for foreign dignitaries, are these cars going to be left idle and rot in some garage somewhere?
4)3.43m has been wasted. Is anyone going to be accountable for it or is everyone going to get off scot-free as usual?
I have a better idea. Why don the govt give these cars to any Malaysian or organisation who has brought glory to the nation? Sportsmen/women like Nicol David or our national bowlers deserve them. Our Everest conquerors deserve them. Charitable organisations who can sell these cars and put the funds to good use deserve them. And please no one tell me our space monkey Sheikh deserves it. I will smack u in the mouth!

Enough is enough!
That's it! My self-imposed strike for writing anything political is over. I just couldn't take it anymore after reading about our current political situation in cyberspace, print and electronic media. I have to let my frustrations out big time(via writing onlylah)!
1)Malaysiakini reported this afternoon that the PM and DPM have given the go-ahead to the Trengganu state govt to purchase the Mercs despite all the protests received. Can u believe this? Just one day after saying that all members of govt must purchase locally made cars, the PM gives his approval for this blatant waste of money. Now that the precedent has been set, I can foresee that all other state govts have no reason not to follow suit. Doesn't it feel like your gut is being ripped out when these things happen? We are trying to save in every way we can but these morons go on wasting our money.
2)I would also like to take out my frustration with that spineless UMNO dog, MCA. I remember b4 the elections that they were criticising the DAP for working with PAS. Now that UMNO are having talks with PAS or "Muzakarah" they call it, where are you MCA? No guts to say anything against your bosses? No testicular fortitude(Balls for short) to do it? Please don claim you are fighting for the rights of the Chinese when you are just a spineless hypocrite. Go continue licking the arses of UMNO. We have already shown u what we thot of u on Mar 8. The next election, u will cease to exist at this rate.
3)When the PM announced his famous "FUEL PRICE HIKE" recently, he confidently(or not) stated that inflation could be maintained at the low single digits. You were thinking with your arse again weren't u? Once again, as usual, u have been proven wrong as it is now 7.7%! Anyone with half a brain can tell you that a 40% increase in fuel price wld have immense chain effects. Oh, I forgot, u don even have half a brain! Atleast then get supporting staff that have some brains! When are you going to get your facts right? Shape up or ship out no longer applies to u. You don have a choice now. Get out!!!
More to come when my anger recedes......

What do you fear most?
The chairman of my previous company overheard a conversation between a few colleagues and myself about ghosts. One lady was mentioning abt how afraid she was when she experienced s'thing eerie. To this, my chairman said, "You have more to fear from the living than the dead! More hurt has been caused by the living than the dead!". I have remembered this comment even tho I heard it abt 10 years ago.
Why bring this up? I visited my brother-in-law today in the hospital after his surgery. I remembered the times when I was really afraid to visit hospitals b'cos of all the nasty and grandmother stories u hear occuring there. Don go if you are sick(Cos your defences are weak and bad spirits may take over yr body), there are spirits roaming everywhere, women with period will attract these spirits etc. Since I have overcome my fears abt hospitals, I began to wonder what do I fear nowadays. Death? Not really as I am one who believes in fate. If your time is up, there ain't nothing you can do abt it!
As I was walking in the hospital, I passed by some patients who had lost an arm or a leg, some patients going around with some machines attached to their bodies and patients being taken care of by their loved ones. Then I realised what I feared. I do not want to be a burden to my family. I have heard stories where life-savings were spent to try and cure sickness but were futile. I have also heard of the stress family members go through taking care of terminally-ill members of family. So I said a silent prayer, if my time is up, just let it be quick!
PS : I also fear Liverpool not winning another league title during my lifetime.
