It'd been a while since I wrote anything. So, let's give you readers a recap of what had happened to me for the past two weeks since the turn of the decade. Let's make it a wee bit more interesting by turning it into a review of things that had happened that managed to make me think about things...haha. Besides, talking about me is boring.... Oh, and football fans, there might be some news that will/won't rub you down the wrong end depending on how you receive it.
Anyway, first up, it's gotta be that one heck of a titanic news regarding a particular Manchester club finding themselves laden in a MASSIVE 700 million United Kingdom Pound Sterling debt due to the process of owning the football club by a particular "business oriented" family from the United States - The Glazers - and the football club I'm talking about is non-other than the red half of Manchester, Manchester United. I read reports on the club spending nearly 200 million alone since the take over, and exploring the depths of The-Season Ticket Holders-and-TV rights-and-Player Transfers-and Copyrights-and-Sponsors-and-Etc-Cookie Jar in the process, JUST TO PAY THE BLOODY AMOUNT OF INTEREST to the banks that The Glazer family borrowed their money from. And keep in mind that the take over process occurred only a distant five years ago...just imagine if THAT amount of money being used on the development of the club as a whole instead of paying interests...
Oh, and that world-record transfer of 80 million pounds of a particular Christiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid actually made the net season turn-around profit of the club for last season to a mere 40 million pounds. Oh, and of course, there's now RUMORS flying that they might need to sell Wayne Rooney, yeah, WAYNE ROONEY just to keep the ship afloat. I feel lots of different emotions when reading this, this whole shenanigan surrounding the two-time Champions League Winner...but all I can say is that, LET'S DO THE LEEDS EVERYBODY!!!! haha...
Secondly, yeah, about football too...but now, it's regarding the red half of Merseyside - Liverpool FC - . Rafa promised them die-hard Kop faithfuls that the top-four finish is "guaranteed" by the end of the season....but I beg to differ Rafa. Your lads fell short to a decent looking Reading team who's placed some 25 odd places below you mid-week....a team of millionaire athletes losing to the not-so-rich footballers of a modest Reading side...you have more problems in your team than the infinite amount of money that them Arab owners of Manchester City bring to Eastlands Rafa... Although not owing as much money to the bank in terms of interest as their Manchester United counterparts, but believe me, they too are in some serious battle to turn debts into profits, with some 300 million pounds recorded as the club's net debt at the end of 2008.
With no fund to bring in additional players to play in the Gerrard-Torres team, I'm not that too optimistic with Liverpool chances of finishing above in-form Birmingham at the end of the season. Oh, and had I told you about Liverpool and their new stadium thing? Good luck with all them refinancing, and bank loans, and further interests AGAIN for the new stadium ait.... AGAIN, LET'S DO THE LEEDS EVERYBODY!!! haha...
Other than that, yeah, there's this whole incident where this particular church was, fortunately, did not went up in smokes after fire were set ablaze by some jackass arsonists... Come on you people, we're Malaysians. We're supposedly citizens of a developing country...to those who are offended...I would like to state my apologies on the behalf of these assholes for their stupid, moronic act of trying to kick the soft underbelly that is threatening the balance of social, cultural, and religious harmony and understanding that this country is so proud of for so long.
Let's not let these preposterous acts of some imbeciles threaten the thin line that is our country's peace and harmony. If we do, it would justify their balls-less acts and purposes and we, as a nation, would easily be recognised by the international community as a country without a strong backbone and could easily succumb to racial disharmony and religious tensions. There are better ways than planning to burn down a temple or a mosque as a sign of retaliation because it would further fan an already combustible situation. Besides, it solves nothing and would further spark more "sensitive" confrontations in the future. Those that the people selected to represent them, please, at least try your best to solve this particular matter as it would pose a major threat and further jeapordise the nation's continuity and ability to develop itself and fulfill it's potentials.
Phew, enough politics, let's talk some entertainment...haha. You guys watched the whole thing that went down about this whole Tonight Show involving Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien? Apparently, it got something to do with time slots and the two personalities got their shows move to a later time slot and cut short due to poor ratings... And, because of this, David Letterman is having a field day criticising both tv hosts and the NBC execs that are running the company...some hilarious shit I tell you...haha. Oh, and I must again tell you that the greatest comedy tv show ever created are EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, FRIENDS, AND WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY!!! I cracked myself up every single day till the point of my pancreas barely holding out from going KA-BOOM! haha...
And there's also the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the island of Haiti...decapitating the country's lifeline to the outside world due to many of it's infrastructure being leveled down to the ground. If you readers couldn't donate even RM 5 for a worthwhile cause, at least give them a 5 second thought in your prayers every night before you go to sleep. You tried your best, now let's just let God do His work no His own...
Lastly, I committed myself into a relationship that I believe that would last for a very long time. We both know what we want, we both know how we want it, and above all, we both know that that's what we need. If you're reading this,I want you to know I would try my best to make this relationship lasts for both of us as I believe that what we have here is truly special. God's willings...amin.
Anyway, I brought you football, politics, entertainment, and a wee bit of my private life for you dear readers to read in less then 10 minutes...I think I done quite ok right? haha...
So, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. With that, I'd finished my first ever 40th blog entry in my entire life. Hope you guys enjoy it...cheers.

2010...start of a new decade...
Ok, I read through many blogs...and most of them, talk about what they wanna be/accomplish in the new year and how they reflect the past year. I don't know about you guys but yeah, I think, all them personal aspirations on what you guys wanna be or accomplish in the new year...should like stay inside you...because sharing them with everyone else is like pointless? And oh, be a better person and get good grades in school...that's the Holy Grail of all New Year Aspirations eh?(sarcasm)
Anyway, my entry's gonna be a bit different. Instead of stating what my aspirations are for the new year, I'm gonna share with you about things that I achieved in the past that I'm proud of...or things that happened that made me proud...because yeah, only by looking and reflecting on the pass can we build ourselves a solid foundation on how to tackle the unknown.
Enough philosophies...I'm gonna start at the new millennium.....the 2000...because the 90s are all the too blurry for me...bad memory...haha.

Oh, and this is also my candidate for the Year of the Decade. ^__^
So...between 2003 and 2009...for Year of the Decade...after doing some hard thinking and soul-searching...with a landslide...2009. 2009 is the Year of the Decade for me....to the intended recepient that contributed to making this year the Year of the Decade for me, from the deepest oy my shallow heart, thank you. Hope 2010 would be a great year for both you and me...^__^
Don't know if you guys noticed it...but for as long as 10 years of living...I only remembered like only a handful of great and meaningful events that had happened... It's a pity for all them other great events that had happened to be forgotten...but surely, there's even a bigger meaning to why I only remember these great events amongst all them other greats...right?
And to them readers that read this petty post and all them other posts before this, thank you. To all them readers that read all them posts and put down comments, A BIGGER THANK YOU AND >:D<...I really do appreciate it...^__^ May God bless you and your family, and may you have a wonderful 2010...
