2) be more patient. i guess sometimes i easily lose my cool. to have better grip of myself.

3) feel like getting married or something along the line.

4) to maintain current hardworking level (gah..and i know i will miss lots of time for other things)

of dejavu


I somehow went deep inside my thoughts whether i ever see her. I mean, i know her as Drinie Aguilar, the Philippine model and newscaster who host "Game" at ESPN Star but somehow her smile reminds me of someone but i couldn't seems to pin point who's who.

Drinie wasn't the most attractive woman (but she definitely super cute) that ever crossed my eyes but due to X-factor and dejavu that i'm having right now, her smile linger in my mind for a while. What make me truly believe that her smile is something which my subconcious mind recognize due to the dimple. I was 200% sure that i have seen the smile but i couldn't remember whom. Her smile is cheeky, sweet and honest.

Gosh, it's so frustrating when your mind seems to meet dead end everytime "search queries" fired by my nueron. Ok, let forget about it.


Did you by any chance knows someone with this cheeky smile (beside her)?

Hero of The KOP

Been away too long so here something to munch/gobble about. Recently finished reading "Gerrard: My Autobiography".

For those who don't know who the hell is Steven Gerrard; he's English football player, currently captain of Liverpool Football Club. Gerrard as many of Liverpool fan is a hero. I couldn't see why he shouldn't be Liverpool hero! (owh..this is so going to be bias!)

Anyway, reading the book and seeing him in press conference is totally hell and heaven comparison. During press conference, he's a composed man, cold and very very serious. I never see him joking around during press conference. The utter joy of his face could only be seen during Liverpool scoring goal or winning matches. Hey, even he didn't smile in the cover page for his autobiography.

Reading his book giving you the new side of him; the shy, family man, passionate fan of LFC and most of all; a passionate football player. He just love football too much! Reading his journey through his youth in Ironside till become Three Lions first XI, he just outpouring everything in this book.

Winning and losing, depression, difficult time, happy time, marriage, honour and shame all in one book. If you ask me whether this book is worthy your read, i will say YES! It's might not be the most beautifully crafted book with poetic language but it speaks the measure of the man; his honesty in telling his story. Heck, he don't even hide that he's crying when he went in and out due to injury and few others disturbing comments. But he is what he is and for his passion for football and Liverpool, this book moved me in so many ways.

It quite thick but it worth it. A month to finish reading this while traveling for company's affair. Definitely recommended for die hard fan of LFC.

p/s: the building office here named "KOP", feel like at The KOP, Anfield (the name almost there, just the distant so far).

Gen Y

1. They spend around RM300-RM500 a month on entertainment and leisure
err...yes. I love to eat, i indulge in good food. i'm guilty as charged! most of the time, i love buying perfume and watching movie.

2. Their love for shopping has earned them the label of "dream consumers"
I rarely shop but when i'm in the mood, i spend quite relevant amount of money. hole in my pocket.

3. On a good day, they hang out at designer coffee outlets and indulge in good food, which easily comes to RM15 per meal
Used to hang out in Starbucks, on my winded up day. yes, when i need somewhere to escape, i run away from my routine. Now, takdak dah.

4. Many own the newest handphones, equipped with the latest technology. Doesn't matter if they are not technologically savvy enough to utilize all the functions; what is important is that they own something at par with what their peers have.
Almost there. Just the money stop me. gile hape nak kejar technology, couldn't afford it anymore. But the one with money definitely chasing after it. believe me, there are lots of people who have more money than sense.

5. Two-thirds know the price of an iPod, but three-quarters have no idea what a carton of milk costs.
i know both.

6. They have hundreds of illegally downloaded songs
er...did i? not hundreds, just hundred thousands je. :P. nothing cheaper than free eh.

7. One in 20 spends more than RM200 a month on mobile phone bills
I spent around RM 50 - RM 60 for phone bills. I think i know few people who spent more than RM 300 per month just for the phone bills. Valid statement i guess.

8. A number of them have more than one phone
1 number, 1 handphone, 1 headache. enough for me. i knew few friends who have up to 3 phone. yeah...busy "playing" around.

9. Many do not read the newspapers, or watch the TV news
I read newspaper, especially sport news. occasionally, i missed out things due to work. but i guess few of my friends hardly read newspaper or watch news. one thing that they read; entertainment news. well, not everybody interested in politics and world issue.

10. They are heavily dependent on 'helicopter parents' who hover protectively over their offspring
Most of us here quite independent. Eventhough sometimes we messed up with our expenditure, but somehow we always managed to get through it. I think i stop being dependent to my parent once i get into uni. some still depend on their parent; whether they yet to get on their feet or they just know their parent always there to save them from pinch. time will teach them once they learn to let go of the grasping hand. and the overprotecting parent pun kenalah let it go. let the kids grow.

So, now I will officially start the tagging game. Hereby, I tag:
