In my previous post, I blogged about my Glitterati status was changed to an Ordinary Member (Non Exclusive). I was not really downbeat about it. But just felt that I would lose out on opportunities to get the benefits of a Glitterati member. Immediately, I tried to get to the bottom of it.
After reading through some previous postings done by other bloggers, one of the reasons that a Glitterati status of a member can be revoke is if "a blog that has Nuffnang advertisements on it remains dormant for a certain time without any visitors or unique visitors, the Glitterati status can be revoked".
So, I checked my dashboard to see if I have old blogs that I haven't been updating. Yup, I got one really, really old blog that I created and totally forgot about. After deleting it from the Blog Manager at Nuffnang, I just waited to see what happened.
Then, I saw this...........
Yes!!!! Glitterati status re-instated. I guess Nuffnang was just giving their tough love to me. Work hard and you get rewarded. Be lame, take the shame.
Thanks Nuffnang for making me a Glitterati member again.
Pagi ini aku seperti biasa aku check akaun Nuffnang untuk tengok kalau ada updates for earnings. Takde. Takpelah, mungkin sebab cui panjang tahun baru.
Tapi perkara yang buat aku sedikit terkedu ialah bertukarnya status Nuffnang Glitterati aku kepada Ordinary Member (Non Exclusive). Setahu aku, hanya Nuffnang sahaja yang aku letak pada Bo Is A Nerd site ini. Nak kata dormant, tiap-tiap hari aku update (tipu sikit) and ada aje visitors (ini aku tak tipu).
Ada perbezaan juga pada status Glitterati & Ordinary member. Ordinary Member tak boleh post pada Innit @ Nuffnang. Glitterati boleh.
Nilai ads Nuffnang juga, Glitterati member lebih tinggi nilainya. Yang lain-lain seperti dijemput pergi ke screening or product launch aku tak berapa heran sebab tahu takkan dapat (gila2 pessimist).
Di harapkanlah pihak Nuffnang dapat kembalikan status itu dalam minggu ini. Kalau tidak, life goes on. Keep on blogging!
P/S: Kalau ada sesiapa yang ada information atau advise untuk dapatkan semula status Glitterati tu, silalah tinggalkan komen. Aku juga akan update jika ada perkembangan. Mungkin ini boleh di jadikan teladan bersama.
Ok! Musim bertandang ke majlis perkahwinan pun sudah selesai. Tapi sebenarnya tak juga sebab masih lagi ada yang melangsungkan perkahwinan pada musim bukan cuti sekolah. Dalam bulan ini sahaja, aku ada 3 lagi majlis yang kena pergi. Nasib baik semua dekat-dekat.
Tapi takpelah. Entri aku kali ini aku buat setelah pemerhatian selama sebulan aku pergi ziarah & menjamah majlis kahwin dari utara hingga selatan Malaysia. Naik gak dekat 4 kilo aku ni setelah habis semua majlis aku pergi.
Aku just nak tanya pada followers Bo Is A Nerd (itupun kalau ada yang baca). Majlis kahwin mana yang korang prefer? Majlis kahwin yang di buat didepan rumah yang menggunakan khemah dan meja-meja yang di letakkan di atas jalan..... ATAU .....Majlis kahwin yang di adakan di dewan-dewan atau hotel-hotel.
Kita cuba tgk setiap satu majlis ini dgn lebih mendalam. (ayat skema)
MAJLIS PERKAHWINAN DI RUMAH
(BAIK)
Family senang berkumpul kalau majlis di buat di rumah. Lepas tu kalau jiran-jiran semua kalau jenis baik/semangat berjiran dia kuat, boleh lah bergotong royong. Dah saving kat situ. Boleh juga tunjuk kecantikan rumah, kalau rumah orang tu pun cantik.
Kebanyakan kawan2 & saudara mara mudah nak jumpa kalau pernah datang rumah. Yang tak permah tu pandai2lah guna map yang ada pada kad jemputan.
Pengantin nak "freshen up" pun senang. Naik bilik, solat, tukar baju ke. Tapi jangan tak turun balik ke majlis sudah. Manalah tahu tak tahan ke kan....
Rasa less formal. Tak perlu bersudu garfu dan jaga sangat etika makan walupun kena gak maintain bab etika makan tu. Nanti orang cap gelojoh pulak.
(TAK BAIK)
Kena tutup jalan. Kalau area kejiranan yang tak bersemangat berjiran tu, susah lah sikit. Mesti ada yang marah, takpun menngumpat dalam senyap..ish ish ish ish.
Terbuka pada risiko cuaca yang tak menentu. Kekadang kalau panas pun tak best juga nak makan sebab bila makan, peluh pun berjerih-jerih turun. Kalau hujan pulak, faham2 lah betapa tak selesa.
Kekurangan tempat duduk disebabkan orang suka lepak lama-lama dan tak pandai nak bawa diri.
Selepas majlis selesai & saudara mara dah balik, tuan rumah kenalah mengadap mengemas rumah. Kekadang proses ini boleh mengambil masa sampai seminggu ataupun lebih. Ada juga yang tak recover-recover juga.
Selalunya majlis di dewan pakai catering services. Semua makanan & perhiasan dewan tak perlu di bimbangkan sangat. Cuma perlu supervision from tuan majlis (tuan rumah).
Terlindung dari cuaca panas dan hujan yang tak menentu. Ada sesetengah dewan ada parking berbumbung seperti Dewan Bankuet MBSA kat Shah Alam tu.
Jumlah yang hadir boleh di control. Ini kalau majlis jenis "sit down". Ini boleh menjimatkan kos dari segi kad jemputan dan makanan.
Tetamu boleh makan dengan selesa walapun adakalanya ada juga dewan yang kurang selesa di sebabkan perkara-perkara lain
(BURUK)
Pengantin tak dapat untuk "freshen up" sebab lokasi dewan agak jauh. Kalau hotel, mungkin dah sewa bilik. Soal lainlah tu ye.
Tak dapat nak tunjuk rumah kepada yang datang.
Rasa formal sebab almaklumlah buat dalam dewan, tertib makan kenalah lebih sikit. Nanti ada pulak yang pandang.
Parking kereta mungkin kena bayar. Ini mungkin akan meyusahkan tetamu. Sebab tu kekadang aku tak bagi hadiah best-best sangat sebab dah tahu kena bayar bagai.
Majlis "sit down" yang terlalu panjang dan meleret-leret boleh juga menjadikan para tetamu bosan. Nanti ada pulak yang keluar dewan sebelum majlis tamat & tinggallah meja-meja yang kosong.
Itu adalah sikit-sikit baik & buruk mengadakan majlis kahwin di rumah dan di dewan/hotel. Apa-pun, di mana saja majlis diadakan, hendaklah tengok pada bajet kewangan dan keinginan diri atau "preference".
Perkahwinan itu adalah salah satu sunah Rasul. Ia sepatutnya amat mudah dan jangan biarkan perkara-perkara material & sampingan menjadikan ia susah.
As a muslim, we are always told to pay our dues or zakat (zakat pendapatan & zakat harta) in order to cleanse our income, savings and property. Zakat is the Islamic way to contribute to the poor and unfortunate through paying to the proper channels & authorities. Another good thing about paying your zakat pendapatan is that it is a tax deductable item when you do your tax returns in April. This is provided that you pay it before 31st December 2009.
So, I went to pay my zakat on the last day (31st Dec 2009), as usual. Procrastinating is bad, I know. The Lembaga Zakat Selangor office is just a 5 minute drive from my place, so I dropped by on my way to work anticipating for at least 1 hour of waiting before being able to pay my zakat.
Bangunan JAIS.....in front of Masjid Negeri Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah
To my surprise, I drove in, parked my car, took my number and paid my zakat in only 20 minutes. That is even taking into account the pleasant lady staff helping me calculate how much I needed to pay. She was very calm and helpful eventhough the place was full of people.
Complaints and bad reviews are always what we hear when people deal with government or in this case local authorities. But I am giving two thumbs up to the people at Lembaga Pungutan Zakat Selangor (LPZS) for their efficiency and service with a smile approach. I hope I will get the same treatment when I deal with another government branch in the future.
You check your traffic and what you see are pathetic numbers that even make your grandmother be ashamed to look at you or even disown you as her grandson. There must be a reason why you are not getting more readers and I mean quality readers & followers.
Most of the reasons maybe because of the following reasons, so pay attention.
Reason 1: You Copy and Paste
People call this "content syndicating". This is when you copy & past lame articles from site such as www.goarticles.com or www.ezine.com for example. You shouldn't being doing this you schmuck. Come up with some original content and get real.
Reason 2: You Can't Write To Save Your Life
I am not talking about your content. It is awesome even (unless you did Reason no 1, then you're back to being a schmuck). Your writing is littered with mispelled words, typos, wrongly using or not using reading marks and other mistakes.
This shows you give a rats behind about your readers. You don't care that they'll be scratching their heads trying to figure out the words you are trying to say. You just want to meet your daily posting quota. You schmuck (I really like that word).
Reason 3: You Post Once A Week (or even ONCE a month....damn!)
Your readers would not be coming running reading your blog if you can't even update it at least 2 or 3 times a week. So, get your brain juices running and blog and blog some more.
Reason 4: Having Less is Sometimes Better
You don't need to have different type of colors for each word in your post. Keep the colors to a minimum and your readers would thank you for it.
Reason 5: You Already Have A Clock and Calender on Your Windows Desktop......USE IT!!!
It annoys me when I open a blog and see a clock, a calender and what other none sense on it. When you put too much widgets on your blog, it will be heavy and making uploading slow for your readers. This applies to blog templates too.
You see this at the right bottom of your screen? Use it!
Reason 6: Your Favourite Tune Made Me Spilled My Drink
I hate it when I open a site and then "Oops I did it again" started blaring like mad and made me spill my coffee. If you really want to put your favourite song on your site, please not Autoplay it. If we wanna listen to it, we'll play it. Kapish? Good.
Reason 7: Your Blog Is Boring
There. I have said it. Write for your readers if you want traffic and returing readers.
Reason 8: I Can't Find Anything Here
Just put an archive function, a label function or a search box. Ditch the clock and calender and put them in instead.
Reason 9: Put Some Pictures in and Don't Forget to Put in Some Paragraphs While You're At It Will You
Words, words and more words. Put in one or two pictures to rest your readers eyes. Visual aids would help alot.
Don't forget to paragraph your postings. We don't want to read endless of never ending words eventhough it's interesting.
Reason 10: Your Template Looks Like That Other Blog I Saw Before
Try to create a unique look to your blog. The template mught be simple but a few widgets (no clocks, no calenders) or pictures might spruce it up a bit.
So, is your blog have any of these? If it does, then do something about it. But whatever it is, keep on chugging....umm..I mean blogging.
Year 2010 is almost here and with it a comes new challenges and experiences to look forward to. But year 2009 is the year that will always be the one that I will always cherish and remember. Let's review what happened to me in 2009.
Getting Engaged (14th December 2008)
Yeah..yeah. I know this did not happen in 2009 but this is my year review, so back off. I got engaged to a beautiful and intelligent young lady by the name of Noor Azhani Bini Shamsudin. We were office mates at Shell Shared Service Centre Kuala Lumpur.
We decided to get engaged after a very short dating period (very very short) and the engagement itself was a small family affair. It was simple but memorable with all the family around us.
Goodbye Shell, Here I Come Tune Talk! (20th April 2009)
I decided to quit working at Shell Shared Service Centre Kuala Lumpur after almost 3 years there. This is where I met my future wife, gained new experiences, made memories and also friends. However, it was time to move on and I think it was also time for me to grow career wise.
Hi Tune Talk (5th May 2009)
After leaving Shell, I am now at Tune Talk. A young and upcoming mobile telecommunications company that will be a major player in the mobile phone network game. I am at the right place and at the right time to be part of a pioneer group of people in bringing up this company.
This is where I think I would be able to grow more in terms of my career and also as a person. Hopefully, all my plans and hopes for Tune Talk will become true.
Getting Married to Noor Azhani Binti Shamsudin (24th July 2009)
I waved goodbye to my bachelor years and opened my heart and life to Noor Azhani Binti Shamsudin, my wife. After 7 months of being engaged, we got married.
It was a very hectic and busy yet beautiful and memorable weekend in my life. It started off with the akad nikah at Azhani's place and adding to the pressure of it all, the akad was done by her dad. It was intense and nerve wrecking. But at the end of it, I got through it. At one go ONLY!!!
The two receptions at Bangi (Azhani's side) and Shah Alam (my side) was tiring but very beautiful to us. We did not feel the strain of it all as we were having the time of our life. Thank you to every one that came and also to my family that worked hard to make it happen.
Azhani is Pregnant (6th September 2009)
It was only 6 weeks after we became husband and wife. We did planned to start having a family off the bat. The news that my wife was pregnant brought excitement that I will become a dad in 2010. Insya'Allah.This is the main reason I can't wait for 2010 to come.
Our First Hari Raya together (23rd September 2009)
Last year, I celebrated Hari Raya as a single man. But this year I have someone to share the day with. I have a new family and although I miss celebrating the 1st day of Hari Raya at Taiping but that is just a small thing to miss after looking at the bigger picture. Celebrating Aidilfitri morning at Bangi then going back to Taiping right after Raya prayers. Nice.
I know I did not mention a lot of what happened in 2009 that affected the whole world like the passing of Michael Jackson but these events were the one that I will cherish most in 2009.
There are a lot of tasty and juicy burgers out there. I'll just put the top 3 burgers. Each one are the marquee or trademark burgers for each seller. Let me know which one do you like or better if you got other choices. If you have a good one, I might go out and find it.
So, here are the contenders:
The Whopper
from Burger King
Big Mac
from
McDonalds
Burger Ramly Ayam Double Special with Cheese
from Ramly Burger
Like me, I'll always take Burger Ramly over the others anytime. Especially if you wrap the burger with eggs and toss in some mayo and cheese. My mouth is watering already. How about you??
Congrats to all in the Tune Talk family for reaching 400,000 subscribers in only 4 months of operation.

My wife will always say " lelaki mesti nak cari yang lawa and cantik aje" (guys always look for pretty and beautiful girls) or guys will only love their woman when they are slim and pretty. And then I would reply, "dari mata cinta turun ke hati" (eyes will see love then the heart will follow). This would bring a shake of the head from her.
Today, in the car on our way to Kota Damansara for another wedding ( please don't let me see another plate of nasi minyak, dalca, ayam rempah and daging dinding), I told my 5 months pregnant wife that she looks more and more radiant as each day passes by.
Her reply was "mana ada cantik lah sayang. Aza makin besar and banyak bintik-bintik merah kat badan". Well, I know that the red spots are due to the hormonal changes that is happening to her. I just smiled when listening to this.
I asked her "So you want me to love you when you are beautiful and slim, sayang? I can do that if you want me to". I added my comment with a sly grin. Her reaction? Silence and a big smile on her now red face. Priceless.
Again, a horrible road accident as a result of human carelessness occurred. The Sani Express bus that crashed at Km 272.8 on the North-South Expressway resulting in 10 people dead was due to the driver falling asleep at the wheel. The admission was from the bus driver himself. Breathalyzer and blood test done on the driver came out negative.
The two tier bus was heading north before it skidded and hit the road divider around 1 a.m. The victims were seated on the lower deck. The two drivers and 36 other passengers were only slightly injured. The crash did created a temporary slowed down the traffic flow at that stretch and it only eased up around 8 a.m.
Police have remanded the driver until Wednesday to facilitate them in their investigations.
Not all bus drivers are bad. But some are really reckless and can be called rogues on the roads. I really hope the authorities come down hard on the driver and be made an example to other bus drivers.
Last week, muslims all around the world greeted the new Islamic year or Hijrah. My parents decided to have a doa selamat/kenduri arwah to welcome the new year and also to remember and sedekah some prayers to family members and friends that have left us.
The family having some grub and catching up outside.
It was a family affair and close neighbors that we considered as our extended family were also invited. My grandmother, Tok Esah also came from Taiping together with my Aunty Anom with whom she lives with. The other usual suspects were also there.
Amanina is very fond of Ayah
My in-laws (Azhani's family) also came all the way from Bangi. I do miss them especially Eiman and Eisha with whom I've grown quite attached to. Thanks for coming mak, ayah, kak Ayu, abg Man and those little two kiddos.
It is always great to get the family together. Catching up, jokes, laughter and stories were all in abundance. It's really not that hard to get them all together at one place but each other schedules is the only thing that prevents it from being it a frequent event.
Amanina munching on an orange slice and making it looking cute with ease
Great food, family was rocking as usual, weather was nice and cool, so what more can you ask for. It won't be long before another gathering will be on the cards.

Little Amanina being her cute self
It's tiring being a cutie pie as Amanina sleeps without a care in the world
Hi everybody, My name is Bo, I would like to tell my story. It all started one week ago. A few friends of mine that I knew all my life which I would never suspect them to be addicts were doing it last week and got me hooked on it. Without me knowing, they have been doing this for a couple of months now. They say they cannot go a week without it. At least they would do it once a day if possible.
I met them last week for a regular teh tarik session without knowing I would be an addict to the worse kind of addiction. We had our usual talk, silly stuff, nothing really specific then one of the pulled out the box of the addiction. I said I did not want to have anything to do with it but they kept pushing me to try it and I would like it once I tried it.
I caved in to the pressure and tried it. I got hooked. Then I wanted more. And more. I started buying it myself. Selling at RM19.90 a box, its cheap. I got others hooked onto it. My brothers, my wife and other friends. I am sorry to them for dragging them into this.

Here is my poison.......the Monopoly Deal Card Game.
The Monopoly Deal Card Game is a shortened version of the popular board game. The game is addictive that once you've played it, you want to play it more and more. We had our hits anytime and anywhere. Mamak, McD, in the car, hotel lobbies..you name it. It can be easily bought at any Toys R' Us stores or MPH or any reputable toy store. They shouldn't be selling these addictions in such places.
when we were having our fix
I was on the straight and narrow road before you arrived but now I am on a spiral downwards to destruction. Damn you Monopoly Deal Card Game!!!!
Yesterday, I went to war....on a Tuesday! The whole of Tune Talk (www.tunetalk.com) came together at Canyon Paintball, located at Kota Damansara (inside The Club) for a war amongst ourselves. Yes...against each other. The whole event was set up as a team building exercise. Great! I can finally break my paintball virginity.
Canyon Paintball battlefield
We were split into two teams, Team A & Team B, my team. Wish we had thought of more gempak or more creative names for our teams but pretty names don't win you the war. Tune Groundshakers would had Team A quacking in their boots.
The weaklings........ Team A
The strong and mighty..... Team B (me on the left with war face on)
We were briefed by David from Canyon Paintball on the rules of paintball. "Sock off !, mask on!" and "Sock on!, mask off!" were ringing in my ears throughout. The other most important rule was NEVER take of your head gear. A stray pallet would make you lose your eyesight. Although it is miles different then the real thing, the marshalls want you to think it is a real war. I think it's a good thing cos in a real battle, you lose your life.
David giving us the briefing
After the briefing, we were brought to the battlefield. We went through 3 scenarios:
1st Scenario: Free for all
The team that has the most team members still alived after the buzzer, was the victor. My team, Team B won. I didn't get shot and managed to hit 3 members of Team A. Team A zero ; Team B 1. Nice start.
2nd Scenario: Capture the Flag
The first team to capture the flag wins. Don't you know it. Team B won again. The ever gung ho, Jason Lo captured the flag and again we were victorious. Team A NIL; Team B 2. Bring it!!!
3rd Scenario: Command and Conquer
The first team to touch or get over the other's team's wall is the winner. They had a time limit of 15 minutes for 2 games each for this scenario. I became a bit Rambo in this scenario. I ran down the middle with the gun blazing but got shot before I got to their wall. But I managed to shoot 3 people on my way. I was out in a blaze of glory.Nice!
Both teams shared the spoils for the 3rd scenario. It was a good fight. I liked the last scenario. Maybe due to my Rambo-ness.
Then, we all went back to base camp to see what the damage was. My final score was 6 killed at my hands and I got 5 "souvenirs". I realised that the pallets that did not burst hurt more than those that did burst. Arrggghh!!!
Then, we had a little Xmas exchange gift among ourselves. Jason gave out the gifts ala Santa. The whole thing was a "Secret Santa" type of thing. So, now one knew who gave what to whom.
I got a box of Fererro Rocher. Thank you to the secret santa. But I was kinda sad getting them cos I know I wont get to have one once my wife sets her sight on them. Bummer!
Life is like a box of chocolates...
Jason getting his Xmas present
Us with our "One Lick" coupons...hahaha..
All in all, it was a great team building success. Everyone had a blast and some got blasted.....by me. Will do it again if given the chance.
Hari ini merupakan di antara hari yang meletihkan dalam hidup aku di atas muka bumi ini. Aku telah membawa isteriku yang sedang mengandung 5 bulan berjalan-jalan di One Utama dan aku ingat dia yang akan letih cepat, sangkaan aku gila meleset. Dia pulak yang steady and aku pulak yang tercungap-cungap.
Sebelum ni, morning sickness dia agak teruk sampai kena sediakan plastik bag in case of emergency di tengah jalan. So, untuk lebih kurang 3 bulan sebelum ini dia tak dapatlah nak berjalan sangat. Kalau berjalan lebih sikit aje, mesti loya dan terkeluarlah isi perut. Tapi kali ini timing dia memang mengena.
Ada pulak YES (Year End Sale) sekarang, so makin ligatlah dia menerjah kedai-kedai di OU tadi. Parksons, Jusco, Padini, Esarli, kedai 5 ringgit dan macam-macam lagi kedai. Nasib baik isteriku ini bukan jenis shopping tapi lebih kepada window shopping. Tapi mungkin sangkaan aku ini meleset juga sekali lagi. Mungkin dia tgh melakukan kerja-kerja meninjau barang-barang dan merancang utk second attack nanti. Akan ku hadapi dengan tabah.
Wahai isteriku yang amat glowing sekarang, harapanku awak bawalah bertenang ya bila nak berjalan-jalan tu. Anak pertama kita amat di nanti. Tidaklah mahu apa-apa yang tidak diingini berlaku kepada si kecil comel dan ibunya.

A family friend of ours has a shop near to our home. It's a relatively small sundry shop, but it does OK, I guess. The one who usually takes care of the shop - we'll just call him Ali from hereon - is quite the joker. He jokes a lot with a lot of people too.
One day, Ali was about to close shop when this guy who looks serabut, to say the least, enters the shop.
"Cari apa bang?" Ali asked.
"Saja tengok2.." the guy answered.
A few minutes later, the guy approached the counter and whipped out a parang!
A stone-faced Ali asked, "Apa ko nak?", as if a parang to his face is nothing new.
"Aku nak duit!" the guy shouted. Stupid as well, with no mask on.
"Nah." Ali said as selamba as sleep.
"Argh, aku serabut, aku serabut!" the robber said.
"Apa lagi ko nak?" a still stone-faced Ali asked.
"Rokok, aku nak rokok!"
"Rokok apa? Winston? Kaler apa?" Ali asked.
"Merah dengan putih!" the demanding robber asked. Siap demand lagi...
"Berapa?" Ali asked again, starting to show off his true colours as a real-life joker.
The robber was starting to get pissed off, "Banyak pulak tanya ko! Bagi je la!"
Cigarettes and money in hand, the robber made a run for it, but not before Ali got hold of the car's license plate number and make.
And then, he shouted to his mum upstairs, "Mak, kita kene rompak!!"
And his mum reply was a solid...
"Ko jangan cakap mcm2 la Ali!!"
No doubt, his mum thought he was joking.
And more customers started to come in and asked for kelapa and rokok...
Ali just said to them, "Ohhh, masa perompak datang kedai, ko tak nak pulak datang sini kan??"
Well, I just like to say sorry for what happened.. but that story was just waiting to be told!
Sejak pagi lagi, topic hot yang menjadi bualan rakyat Malaysia (bukan topic Zizie Izette nak kahwin dengan menteri) ialah final Sukan SEA antara Malaysia dan Vietnam. Masuk kereta, pasang radio aje, terus radio topic atau persoalan yang di bincangkan, "bolehkah Malaysia tamatkan darurat 20 tahun?"
Seronok juga dengar komen-komen pemanggil ttg final ni. Sambutan ini menunjukkan rakyat Malaysia mmg sentiasa menyokong sukan bolasepak Malaysia. Tetapi selalu di kecewakan. Tapi tidak lagi.
Tadi setelah boss di office bagi chance balik awal, dengan cepatnya aku pick-up isteri yang sarat mengandung tu dan merentas traffic jam Federal Highway yang mmg takkan surut. Dalam kereta perbualan ini berlaku:
Aku: Ish..derang nih tak nak tgk Malaysia main final ke?
Isteri: Alaa...takyah tgklah awak. Kalau ramai-ramai tengok mesti Malaysia kalah.
Aku: Mana ada camtu..ishh..apsal mamat depan nih slow sangat?
Isteri: Bola tu tetap bulat lah awak..tak payah lah rushing...
Aku: Ye sayang....!@##$@$ (dalam nada perlahan di tujukan pada pemandu-pemandu lain yang slow)
Sampai rumah..on tv....baru half time. Score 0 - 0. Fuhh. Still ok nih. Ada chance nih. Sempat buat air and amik kerepek dari tin Milo besar kat dapur tu.
2nd half start. Malaysia buat serangan pertama. Sikit lagi. Sayang, seribu kali sayang (bak kata Hj Hasbullah Awang). Akupun terus tgk dgn asyik dan akhirnya saat yang diidamkan muncul. GOAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!
Jaringan dari Safiq Rahim pada minit ke 85. Malaysia 1 - Vietnam 0.
5 minit je lagi. Bertahan!! Vietnam humban semua ke arah gol Malaysia. Minit 90. 4th official angkat time board.....6 minit masa tambahan???!!!! WTF!!?!? Apa kau ingat ni macam Man Utd lwn Man City ke??
Tapi aku amik ini sebagai tanda baik sebab Man Utd menang selepas 6 minit tu..Glory Glory!! (sempat lagi tu). Pemain-pemain Malaysia pulak cuba bersungguh2 utk membuat semua rakyat Malaysia sakit jantung dgn membuang bola. Peganglah bola tu. Bukan dengan tangan tapi jgnlah sepak merata-rata.
Priit priiit prriiiiiiitttt!!! Tiupan wisel pengadil yang akhirnya menandakan berakhirnya penantian Malaysia dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia selama 20 tahun. 20 tahun yang penuh dgn kekecewaan dan harapan-harapan palsu. Malaysia kini juara!!!
Tahniah kepada K.Rajagopal, jurulatih yang amat down to earth (tak spt coach Malaysia yang terakhir tu yang sekarang jadi jurulatih Kelantan) & juga terutama sekali pemain-pemain Malaysia yang bermain dgn corak permainan yang boleh di banggakan.
Diharapkan kemenangan ini boleh dibina untuk lebih banyak kejayaan.
