Post Nomination and Pre-Election

Now that nomination for GE candidates is over, we are just waiting for that all important date to come by and we are all eager to see what changes would there be after March 8th.

Sure there are a lot of indifference on opinions and parties supported. Also there will be a lot of true and untrue rumours flying around in the hope to just getting that bit of extra votes from us the pitiful voters. We all know BN will surely win this GE and the only thing we all are very keen to know is how many seats will they win as compare to previous GE.

For the last 4 years or so since Pak Lah declared the new government, a lot has been said and done. We are all here to witness and judge on what's been promised and done. During the last 4 years, I think a lot of people thought with Pak Lah, at least our main problem will be solved, that is the corruption issue. That's the first promise Pak Lah made upon his appointment as PM. What happen to that? You all wise Malaysian should be smart enough to know the fact.

Then comes his cabinet. He may look sincere and with a Mr Nice Guy look, but what he do compare to what he said majority is different. He also promised a lot of things, which is countless now but most of them never materialised. And most of the time he still have the mood to show journalist how sweet and romantic man he could be with his "NEW WIFE", and that they are in love so much they always appear on newspaper. Why wouldn't he just compete in the "modern family" contest?

We have been cheated by this useless government for 5 years now, and I do hope they wouldn't enjoy the majority in the parlimen after 8th of March and this may teach him and his cabinet a lesson that they can't do what they want, as they like. With some opposition in the parlimen, I think we will find more culprits within the current government and administration. We don't want all these scumbags, and we all want Malaysia to be recognise internationally.

I hope you all would be smart enough this time round to vote for the person who really can contribute to our society, who can really help develop the country, who fought blood and sweat for the community, and putting in 110% effort to make thing materialised, be it BN, DAP, PAS Keadilan or other minor party. What we want is for our society to move forward towards our once famous "Vision 2020"

Horrified Injury to Eduardo

After watching yesterday's EPL game between Birmingham and Arsenal, it was horrible to see such injury to Arsenal's striker, Eduardo Da Silva. My feeling all went out to him. Now I can only wish him get well soon, and hope he will be able to be back on football field sooner.

I remember the last time I watch such horrified incident happened was way back in the mid 90s, where a player (forgotten his name suddenly) was tackled by Brian Mclair, and his was more horrified than this as his shin was broken into 2 halves, and the blood still draining down onto the football field. That player never recovered from that injury and he was never on playing field again.

I believe Martin Taylor didn't do it intentionally, and on football field anything could happened, and this one is just an unfortunate incident that happened during a live telecast game. The moment I saw that tackle went in, and caught Eduardo, suddenly my whole body felt itchy and there I knew something bad had happened.

Comment made by Arsene Wenger during post match interview may just be heat at that moment, and no one would want this to happen. I'm sure Martin Taylor is the same, just like Brian Mclair then, he was totally shaken and couldn't continue with that match.

Here wishing Eduardo get well soon.

Arsenal The Sore Losers

Arsenal is such a sore loser and it was proven again during their last weekend FA Cup defeat at Man Utd. This time it's William Gallas that's the cry baby. It's very stupid of William Gallas to kicked out at Nani after Nani's juggling of ball during the game. Ball juggling is allow in football, and if that's the excuse of kicking out at opponent, then opponent should just bring along whatever to lash out at those gunners when Arsenal is leading or winning because they play too beautiful a football game.

Football is an entertainment games, and there should be some 'Showboating' along the games if oppotunity arise, and permitted. Things happened when Nani was juggling the ball and there was nothing wrong with it. Why did William Gallas made it such a big fuss about it? Isn't ball juggling allowed in football?

During his day at Chelsea I already dislike Gallas due to his attitude problem. When losing he will start acting like what he did last sunday. He's that kind of player who is lacking the education, personality, and he's just a small crying baby all the time. In football there's always winning and losing, but it isn't everything. It's how you react and how you treat it that is more important. This apply to every aspect of life, not just football.

In life there bounce to be ups and downs. If you reacted badly in the downs, that shows just how immature you are, as in this case William Gallas. So Prof Arsene Wenger should start up a class teaching all his young guns to learn how to accept defeat and react in a positive way rather than blaming others for their immaturity and fault. As it's always the case for Arsenal, there is nothing much we could do to change their mentality on this. So bear with them and let them be the naive and pityful gunners and sore losers

Nokia 6110 Navigator

I am thinking of changing my old fashioned handphone now. After searching over and over for the last 1 year plus I hardly find any new handphone that I really like. That's also why I still use my old 5-yr-old samsung phone. Buttons and panel are now at its lifespan limit, and it's about time for me to get a new phone now.

Few days ago I happened to passed by Nokia shop, and finally I came across a phone that really interest me. Nokia 6110 Navigator. Has anyone uses this phone now or know something about it? Can you please post your comment on this phone here so I can know more about this phone.

This is the only phone in the market that attracted me and if this is value for money, I would go for this phone, otherwise I would have to wait until the next phone attracted me in such way. Thanks for your comment

Evergreen Paolo Maldini and Ryan Giggs

Last Wednesday nights' Champion's League football matches witnessed two of the greatest footballers marked a milestone for their respective club as well as their personal milestone. AC Milan's Paolo Maldini marked the 1000th games for AC Milan and Man Utd Ryan Giggs marked the 100th games for Man Utd in the Champion's League.

Both players have played for only one club throughout their career, and that both players' performance have been maintained at such high level all the time. It is quite difficult, if not impossible to find such player in the modern era football to have such loyalty towards their club. Players now are more money orientated, and some are club's reputation orientated.

Paolo Maldini career has been dedicated to AC Milan all life long, and even at 40, he's still able to compete with youngsters with such efficient and accurate performance. He's from a soccer family, who the father was once Italy national hero as well, and he's now a notional icon too. He inheritaged his father's pride and he will be remembered for what he contributed to AC Milan and Italy national team.

Ryan Giggs has been developed into such complete and mature player all thank to the evergreen coach of him, Sir Alex Ferguson, who is his only club coach throughout his career, and he is approaching the club's record appearance probably by this year. He's been such great entertainer eversince he's being introduced into the first team with his dazzling play, and run at opponents. It is that entertaining of seeing his run at opponents, and lightning speed of him that make us all scream and enjoy. He has such a great feet that when at full speed, there isn't many players who can chase after him, and he's always able to stay out from being hack, pull or tackle down by opponents.

Staying out of trouble is what make both players sustaining their career until now, and with the way they play, it would be easily for them to carry on playing football for long time to come, and that there's no age boundary for both players. They would be able to play as long as they wish to.

So here I would want to congrate both the players and pay our tribute to both greatest players in modern era football

Weakened MCA

After the standing down of Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy from the upcoming general election, we would see a weakened MCA line-up in the next general election.

As many people said previously, MCA has been splited into two all the while, namely A-Team and B-Team. Datuk Seri Chan is one of the last leader from B-Team, and from now he withdrew from the participation in the next GE, I can't see MCA have any calibre leader who would do a better job than Datuk Seri Chan. It is unfortunate that Chan was involved, or rather being mentioned in the recent discovered RM 46 Billion wasted on West Port development.

How true is that Datuk Seri Chan is the main culprit for that scandal is beyond our knowledge, but from the way things were judged and conclude, it's quite easy to know that Chan was the scapegoat in the whole thing, and that someone is taking this opportunity to force Chan to withdraw from the coming election. If ever Malaysian agents' work efficiency is at such level, why is the Altantunya and VK Lingam case still in the hearing stage, rather than concluded? Has they really investigated who's the main culprit of the whole episode of the scdandal?

Body languages of some of the MCA leaders during Chan's annoucement clearly shows that everything is all pre-fixed, and that we will see almost a whole new line-up for MCA. It will also mark the end of B-Team in MCA, and we will now only have one team, which means United MCA. Can this be the case? Or we will see a new B-Team or rather C-Team emerging?

Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting always mentioned if we don't vote for MCA, Chinese's voice would never be heard in the parliment, and if he is true to what he said, then chinese's voice will never be heard whether it's MCA or DAP represent the chinese in the parliment, simply because MCA do not have enough power in the parliment, and that DAP is an opposition party, which automatically have no rights to anything or participation. Simple!!! So who should we vote for?

Gen 2 Candidates

In the up coming general election, we will see a number of children or family members taking over from their parents or alongside them. Is this good for the country?

This is a fixed scandals, and why should they be allow to participated in the first place? Is it because their parents were reps before so they enjoy a previlage of getting nominated? For example in Klang Datuk Zakaria is being omitted from the nomination list, yet his son is now being nominated.

Rumous spreaded that Datuk Z involved in one too many of a court case, hence it's not suitable to stand for this coming election. Therefore he nominated, or suggested his son as a replacement to the cabinet so in case anyone who would wanted to take action against him would be dealt with difficulties due to his son's influence. Not sure how true is this, but sound reasonable.


There are others where similar scenario is happening, and people who we do not know or even heard of is being nominated to stand the election. Are these people really up to the tasks? Are they standing for election base on their own ability or because of family influences that make them candidates?

Someone within the cabinet always mentioned we are a clean and fair country and government, but all these are purely textbook talk without any basis, and whatever they did showed otherwise. So how true is their statements and also can we really trust them for another term? I sincerely hope BN will lose more seats in the parliment than they anticipated and they would learn from their misbehaviour and inability to guide the country.

Is this bribery

Government has been approving many projects, like build new chinese school, together with some upgrading, then additional fund for facilities improvement being handed out immediately. All this indicates that GE is just around the conner and that government is doing its best to give out sweets to public in the hope to attract more votes towards them.

In another way, they are bribing the public into voting them, and yet they can get away with it without any hassel. If an opposition party doing the same, they are classified as giving bribes to public.

Why Malaysia will have such double standard law? Government and opposition doing the exact same thing, yet the intepretion is totally different. When government doing it is call looking after of taking care of public. When opposition doing it, they are call bribing the public into voting them during GE.

So we are all fed-up with this government since god know how long ago. Whatever they said we just listen. If we do not agree, just keep to ourself. This way will save us from a lot of trouble. Hope you all smart voters should know where your vote should be casted into.

Clash of Titans

Man Utd is hosting Arsenal at Old Trafford this saturday for the 5th round of English FA Cup. Who do you think will win this clash of Titans? Can Man Utd move out from their slump in form on time or will the Gunners continue their fine forms?

Base on the previous 2 weeks results, form book has to be with the Gunners. But looking at the tie which is play at OT, it would not be easy for Gunners to overrun the Devils easily. On the other hand the Devils will not have it their way either.

So it all boils down to who perform better on match day and who could withstand the intense pressure of out-performing the other. Man Utd have the players to do it, and run the show their way. Gunners has proved over and over again they are no pushover eventhough their team is filled with youngsters.

My prediction for this game got to go with Man Utd because:-
1st - I'm a Man Utd fan
2nd - It's playing at OT
3rd - Gunners feel more pressure than Man Utd as they will be starting the match as favourite
4th - Home supporters will push MU all the way
5th - Devils would not want to lose twice in as many games
6th - Until last week MU only conceded 3 goals at OT and score many more
7th - er...... that's all I could think of at the moment!

What about you? Post your opinion here

Noisy Nite

It's the 9th day of CNY and it's the most important day for Hokkien people to celebrate, even more important than CNY itself.

The reason I'm staying up so late is because the fire crackers sound were so noisy that I couldn't get into sleep till now, and it still continue at the moment. Just wondering what time will it end.

But in another hand, without this CNY will sound so quiet and at least this created some CNY mood among the community. We can still hear some fire crackers around, and this sound more like CNY.

Just wish our "NEW" government will allow some fire crackers to be imported into Malaysia during festive season so the tradition could be prolonged!

Policeman on Federal Highway

Can policeman ride motorbike on Federal Highway? What's the use of motorcycle lane along Federal Highway if bikers are not using them? What will policeman do about it?

I nearly knock a policeman this morning, who is riding a Yamaha SS outside motorcycle lane, in the middle of the 3-lane highway. Just curious what will happen to me if I accidentally run over the brainless policeman? Who's fault is it if the policeman is knock down? Police petrol car would stop cyclists who don't use the proper lane, yet they keep an eye closed when seeing their colleague riding outside motor-lane.

Is this what we call Double Standard?

Need advise on Job Change

I got into a dilemma now.

A friend of mine had been urging me to joint venture with him to operate our own business in contracting firm. I really glad and happy that someone appreciated my ability and also has the opportunity to start up my own business and career with someone's help and support.

Here also where the problem lies. I just switched job into a consulting firm, where I am getting quite a good salary. Also I am having other commitment where I can't take the risk of without job or income for few months. If I get high salary in own company, this will put a heavy burden on the company too.

So what should I do now? Hope to get some advise from generous guys like you out there. Should I let slip this chance go by and stick to the consultant job, or take the risk and get similar salary in own company and fight for its survival in the market!

Crazy EPL Plan

It is quite extraordinary that EPL committee suggested that a match to be stage overseas as the 39th games of the season. What on earth made this guy to have such idea? Is it really works? How fair would it be for all the teams? Would this benefited EPL teams? Is it because they are trying to get more money out from other countries?

All these question can easily be asked when such plan was annouced. To to no surprise, majority of the countries reject such plan to stage a game in their country as part of EPL regular season. It make them look silly and the game may eventually being treated as "Friendly Game" over there.

Clubs like Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea have regularly visit countries outside Europe during the off season to play some exhibition matches, authograph signing sessions etc because fans based there hardly get the opportunity to see their adored players. If games were to stage there every now and then, it would be meaningless as they get to see these superstars regularly here and there.

Also an EPL match to be stage outside its origin vanue, what would it make them look like? Crown or circus? Unless they have the intention of forming another league, that is equivalent to the so-call G14, which consists of major clubs like Real Madrid, Man Utd, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and much more.

This G-14 wanted to form a league of their own, which was then being called off due to settlement with UEFA and agreement being made to make all parties happy. So for Premier League to have such suggestion is nonsense, and it would be a waste of time, effort wasted for nothing. Country welcomed them are those who trying to lure more football fans out for commercial purposes. Other than that, I really can't think of anything better to stage an oversea game for EPL!

Parlimen Dissolved

On Tuesday Pak Lah said he won't dissolve parlimen just yet. This was shown on headlines on various newspaper yesterday, and by noon announcement was made that Parlimen already dissolved.

Probably journalists mis-understood Pak Lah's mean of "today". What he actually meant "Today" is Tuesday itself, and he's telling the truth. Or probably he gave the wrong or unclear indication so that journalists interprated wrongly.

So we can't blame Pak Lah for saying so, and rightly too that things said by Pak Lah never comes true since he became PM.

Don't you think so?

Valentine's Day

Today is valentine's day! How do you celebrate it? Please share your experience with us here

As for me I had dinner with my girlfriend, and that's it basically. I try to propose to her, but as this thing only happen once in a life time, and I really do not know how. At the end it is quite comical and funny! Anyway just that for me!

What about yours!

General Election is coming!

Finally after weeks of waiting, Pak Lah had announced that the next GE will be held on March 8. Good to hear that and hope all the smart voters will vote for the people who are really capable of contributing to the society rather than just by party.

Just wondering what party will you guys vote for and why. As for me I will definitely vote for people with capability and trust worthy, be it BN, DAP, PAS or Keadilan. We, majority of Malaysians had suffer enough over the last 4 years and now is the chance for us to let known our feeling. Government on this hand kept saying they heard our complaints, they are planning to do something about it etc. All this are just to calm us down and hope we will continue to vote for them so our requests can be resolve.

I'm sorry BN. It is a bit too late for this now and also Malaysians are now a lot smarter than few years ago, when you promised so much yet deliver so little. We have had enough of you and I sincerely hope this coming GE will teach them a good lesson so we will be able to move forward rather than like now.

Man U sucks!

What happen to Man Utd? Probably they are too sad about what happen 50 yrs ago that they can't concentrate on their game. Probably the jersey they wear just not comfortable at all that all players felt funny during the game. Maybe it is suppose to be a sad day for all the devils' fans.

Whatever it is, I think Man Utd isn't consistent enough to win the EPL this year judging by what is going thru the team for the last 2 - 3 weeks. First they barely scrapped thru to get a draw against in-form Spurs. They now suffer their first home defeat this campaign and to add insult to injury, they lost to their bitter city rival, who had done a double over them this term.

Maybe they depends too much on Ronaldo and Rooney. Maybe Paul Scholes has upset the team balance thus far this season. Maybe players still get jet leg from the trip to Saudi weeks ago. All kind of synthom shows Man Utd is currently going through a rough patch and it is the best time for their rivals to take advantage to make up ground on them or pulling away from them.

I, as a Man Utd fan, do not want this to happen, but it did happen. From my observation, the current dip in form started when Paul Scholes is put back into the team straightaway after his long lay-off. No disrespect to Paul, he's a great player and any team would love to have him in their team, but being out of the game for 5 months, he is losing his fluent passing and movement and worse is he lacks the understanding that others have forged during his absent.

For this Sir Alex is stubborn enough to take a gamble, which now back fire on him. From the games Paul played, he's way off the pace for now. I think Andersson and Carrick or Hargreaves would form a better central midfield with Giggs and Ronaldo as widemen to support Tevez and Rooney up front would be the best bet for Man Utd to get back on track their slick, quick and efficient counter attacking style of play.

What about your opinion? (Appreciate for your genuine comment. No Anti-Man Utd comment pls)

Another rubbish plan by Abdullah Badawi!

Refer to my last blog I already said Badawi is so good at giving empty plans or rubbish plans. Yesterday yet again he told Malaysian that Sarawak could be a modern and develop state, and that it needs RM 340 Billion to build it.

Let's face the reality! Do we really have that much of money to spend? What about the IDR? What happen to the Northern Corridor he promised? Where do the East Coast Economic Corridor lies then?

I think most of Malaysian are very fed-up and numb with what these two useless PM and DPM said over the months. What they are saying now is purely trying to lift up the nation's spirit and that it's a hint that the next GE is just around the corner, so by saying so they (BN) hopes to attract some voters in their favour.

Surely you all smart voters know where the vote goes comes the GE, and regardless of what they are or trying to do now, tick your vote with your sincere heart and clearest state of mind. Wherever your ticks goes, that's the party that going to serve you for the next 4 yrs plus!

Another rubbish talk by Badawi

I remembered few weeks ago Abdullah Ahmad Badawi did mentioned we are a developing country, and that some of the figures surveys showed can't be taken into account as it was compared to some advance country. So we accepted that statement that our country's standard could only be compared fairly if it's with the same category of countries.

Then last week when I read newspaper he, the FORGETFUL PM said our inflation rate is still amongst the lowest in the world, although it's hitting around region of 5% plus. What a joke he is telling now and then. Why when comparing the good things only with same category's country, whereas for not so good things like inflation rates and petrol rates we need to compare to every country in the world. Is this what we called double standard? Is this happening all over the place here in Malaysia government and administration?

It's a big failure and no one ever has any confidence in the current administration nor government. We just hope BN will lose more seats to opposition parties so they would get kick in the ass and get stuck in to sort out all things promised before. Also for whatever projects and plans announced, they better get it going, up and running, or else they are facing the wrath of public and oppositions.

Wish you Happy CNY

The pig is now gone, and here we welcome the rats. May I wishing all of you have a great year of rats and all success to everyone of you in whatever you do.

Another Sad Bus Tragedy!

Not so long ago we had heard of few fatal bus tragedies one after another within short space of time, and then action was taken to clamped down on reckless drivers, overrun buses, illegal bus operated etc and many many more.

That's the way Malaysian government doing things. When something happened, they will start take action and that only carryon for a matter of weeks only. Then when things quiet down, their action follow too. That's the typical example of Malaysian government efficiency.

They talk too much rubbish and they only good at talking. Action wise, only when nations making noise they will do something just to keep our mouth shut. But reality is they are so incompetent, incapable, inefficient, and lazy eventhough the law and regulations are there to be implemented. No wonder our society is getting worse, and people started to making so much noise as compare to previous time.

Why all this happened only recently? People here have had enough of this rubbish government, and it is up to the point where people like us couldn't hold any longer and there bound to be somewhere for us to release. Unfortunate for us our voice will never be heard because our words will be treated as traitor, inpatriotic, and we are most importantly to them are against the law. We cannot talk or criticise government. We can't talk bad about our government. We must say yes to whatever they said. We have no rights to everything unless you are politician under the banner of Barisan National. We will be in deep trouble if we act against all the above mentioned as well as anything they (government) would not like to hear.

That's why we are going backward, and that they think what they did is all correct whereas others are all wrong. So folks, you should know where your precious vote goes to when GE comes, it's just around the corner, where I can smell it now.

Let turn this "Strict, no-nonsense, talk more than do, only care about the 2nd wife of his" PM around.

On The Spot Summons

There are 6 offences which could resulted in on-the-spot summons being issued:-
1. Talking on phone while driving
2. Dangerous driving, which may resulted in fatalities
3. Overtake while on double line
4. Driving in energency lane
5. Speeding
6. Breaking red light

The above are all offences happened most and which may resulted in casualities if any. So compounds were set and those who breaks such law have to folk out cash to settle the "BILLS"

While saying that dangerous driving will be cause driver's licence being removed, and worse summons to be paid. Has they think of imposing such law on motorists as well? Everyday on my way to and from office, I faced such problem. The reason is so many motorists like riding on the outside, rather than in motocycle lane. This is consider dangerous as well, and casualties may be in danger as well.

Riding outside on highway not only endanger the other drivers, but also risking their own life as well. So this should be classified as dangerous riding and endangering other motorists' safety as well. Hence an on-the-spot summons shall be settle immediately even by motorists.

So in order to standardised all this, isn't it true that motorists who ride outside on the highway road will be sanction/summon. Otherwise it's like what a lot of people said - A double standard government / authority.

Time for Rafa to leave

Is it time for Rafael Benitez to leave his seat as Liverpool Manager? Has the pressure of winning EPL caught up with him? Is he being too big headed himself that causing Liverpool's downfall?

At beginning of the season, when Fernando Torres was signed by Liverpool, so much was expected from this Liverpool team to perform in EPL. So much has been expected from the current crop of players, and follow is the high expectation from the Liverpool team filled with bunch of talented, skilled and experienced players.

To have players like Stevie G, Jamie Carreghar, Hyppia, Alonso, Torres, Pennant and much more in your team is a blessing, and be able to put them out on field to play together is even better, and on paper Liverpool should be as strong as any other EPL team, if not stronger.

Sir Alex had been following Fernando Torres for 2 yrs before interest cooled down due to long negotiation and chasing, and Dirk Kyut is not a bad player either. Stevie G is as usually influential as ever for Liverpool, and with these players in your team, coaches should be able to just throw in any instruction to them and they will taking care of themselve.

Yet we could not find all this in the Liverpool team. Why? I think the answer is Rafael Benitez like changing the team line up so much that players do not understand each other well enough to perform to their best ability. Secondly Rafa is a bit too big headed into thinking that by rotating the team can give more freshness to the players, which he already ignoring the team understanding is as importance as freshness.

If not mistaken, just look at any other top team, they keep their first 11 as close as possible because by playing together longer time period will create more understanding between teammates. That's how Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea succeeded. When Jose Mourinho in charged of Chelsea, he tried to keep the same 11 as much as possible so that performance and understanding between players will carry forward into the next game.

Imagine when Liverpool is playing so well now that these players understand each other's way of playing, then next game you got to adapt to new way of playing because different players are around you now. That's why Liverpool will never get a consistency required for a championship winning team.

I still remember Claudio Ranieri and Gianluca Vialli used to do the same at Chelsea, and what happened then? Same like Liverpool. They could play games of their life now, and next game they will lose to a much lower ranked team, or even worse team play was totally out of sort. By rotating team squad will be better suit cup competition because these games doesn't come week in week out. That's why Rafa won the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions' League, but could not sustain their good performance into EPL.

That also sums up: In order to win EPL, consistency is a must, and in order to achieve consistency, team understanding is a must, and in order to have team understanding, playing together week in week out is a must. Understanding do not come by talking or listening, it must be done through practice or match play.

To summarise the whole, it is time for Rafael Benitez to hand in the resignation notice, or waited to be given big envelop by Tom Hicks and Gillette asking him to go. I think the second choice would be a better option for Rafa since he will also receive his BONUS together with his big envelop. Just look at Sven and Jose when they left their respective post in England. Instant multi-millionaire now!

Why so much noise made for Beckham Exclusion

I do not know why so much noise has been made for the exclusion of David Beckham in the upcoming friendly against Switzerland! Fabio Capello has been appointed as England's Manager and faith should be shown by all fans and supporters regardless of his nationality.

Over the years Fabio has proven so many people wrong, and he will surely again prove all his doubters wrong by guiding England to a new height. Whether England will win a championship or tournament is yet to be seen, but one thing for sure is England team certainly will move forward with Fabio Capello in charge. His past records also shown that he's the type of coach who doesn't believe in big name players, but trusted match fit players.

Fabio Capello has proven in the past that only the match fit players will win games for the team, and the most recent is during his in charge of Real Madrid. David Beckham is first dropped out of Fabio's team, and when things went wrong for Real, Beckham was recalled, and when he's fit, he won Real some games, which proved important towards their title. Although during the beginning of seasons, rumour has been saying Fabio will ship out David Beckham comes January transfer window, but what is actually happened is Fabio Capello recalled David Beckham just at the right time, when team needed him most.

So David has indirectly, if not on his own brought the La Liga champion's medal to Fabio Capello. So I believe Fabio Capello knows very well how good a player David Beckham is, and how important he could be to England team when fit. So it doesn't matter whether David Beckham will win his 100th cap next week or next month, so long David Beckham believe he will win it sooner or later.

So to all moaners out there, stop making it a big fuss about Beckham's exclusion and put your faith in the man you should be proud of, and feel lucky to have as a Manager / Coach. There are so many teams out there trying to lure Fabio Capello to their team, yet he chosed England. So English fan should be rather glad than complaining.

Festival Restriction

Just listen to news earlier and was surprise to hear that DBKL has imposed new rules during CNY festive season yet again.

It is not news anymore that DBKL always comes up with ridiculous and nonsense regulation. It was said that people are not allow to celebrate the Chap Goh Meh (Chinese Valentine's Day) by throwing oranges into ponds, lake or sea. That's the tradition things that Chinese did over the years, and why would they suddenly come out to put a sanction on it?

Is it because KL has all the while being controlled by DAP, and now that GE is near they would want to make a stamp of themselve? Is it because they have too much time to think of something nonsense? Are they being paid to do such wasteful thing while there are many more meaningful things could be done?

Probably it's time to change the whole DBKL management and person who runs this council. It's been too long since they last did something meaningful to the KL city and we certainly do not expect them to do it in the future as well.
