Shopping shopping

It was a sunny Sunday morning when I woke up from the bed.Actually I didnt't want to wake up as I was too tired cos I went shopping with my gf and her cousin + his gf for more than 10 hours yesterday.So lucky that my gf's cousin accompanied me while let my gf and his gf went for shopping at MidValley then Sunway Pyramid and finally went to Ikea Ikano Power Center..Imagine that walking from morning about 11am until late at nite without stopping.Of cos we took a break for our lunch at The Gardens which is next to MidValley shopping mall.We ordered Korean style Spicy Sotong rice and Stone grill chicken rice and we felt the heat once we fed ourselves a spoon of its rice with spicy sauce into our mouth.Even though it made us mouth watering but at the same time I was like having sauna at the hotspring.I sweat quite a lot due to its "spicyness" of the food and kept on drinking my sugarcane to sooth my throat.

We took few hours walk at MidValley including visiting the Pets Wonderland which was quite popular there as there are quite numbers of pets can be seen and the pets are so cute.There are dogs,cats,guinea pigs,hamster,birds,tortoise,rabbit,sugar glider,lizard and a lot more to be mentioned here.We saw Tsih Tsu puppies there together with one of the kind like bulldog.I have forgotten the name.

There are variety of hamster breed too which include Syrian hamster, Roborovski, Dwarf and few more.I prefer Roborovski hamster which is just a quarter of my palm size.However, it is a bit hard to be taken care of as it is too small and it is the fastest among the hamster.So, if u hold it loose,u may have to take a long time to put it back into the cage =).I used to buy one for my gf,But it is dead.=(..Not long after that, she bought another new one which is of Syrian breed.It is quite big size which my palm cannot fit in.=).It is easier to rare but it has to live alone because it will fight each other if more than one are put together into one cage.After one year plus, it passed away with love..=(.It is a bit sad to rare a animal which lifespan is quite short.U love them so much and u take good care of them everyday,cleaning the cage,play with it then suddenly it is gone.

Our next destination was Sunway Pyramid which is about 20 minutes drive from MidValley.The traffic was not that bad that there..It is considered smooth and it was a sunny afternoon.The temperature there is about 31-32 celcius..There wasn't much changes after few years I didn't been there.Its new wing has already built which I went there just thrice (include this time).I still got lost in the middle as I have no idea where I was when at the new wing.=_=.We stopped by at a ice cream shop and satisfied our throat with some cold mouth watering freshly baked ice cream.It is quite special as u choose the fruit that u like then they will help u blend it with the ice cream.Even though it is not a very "smooth ice cream" but it is considered special.I shared a cup with my gf which was kiwi flavor.>_<.Quite sour ( to me)..

Spain lost to Switzerland 0 - 1

I watched the game and it was so amazing that Spaniards created a lot of chances to score the goal.Nevertheless, none of the shot gave them a point.They possessed the ball on the field in the game but however, Switzerland still managed to score a point in the second half which the ball fired past the keeper Iker Casillas by Gelson Fernandez.The keeper felt a bit helpless at the time as the defense was a bit loose where Gelson was left freed on the field.

Xabi Aloso should had given a change to score to restore the Spainiard's spirit but however, the ball was denied by the crossbar in the 71st minutes which left Spain remained a point behind the Swiss to get at least a draw. >_<. Swiss played it safe when it came to 70 minutes later to assure their victory was on their hand.They all remained in the middle and at the back rather than picking offence strategy to create another miracle for them.

Anyway,I am not interested to talk about these two teams anymore now..Wanna concentrate on tonite match at 640pm.haha...

What a drab match last nite between Portugal and Ivory Coast

Despite the winger from Portugal,Christiano Ronaldo declared himself that he would be the man of the history in World Cup 2010, the match left his dream out of reality as they got a draw with Ivory Coast which made quite a good defense that most of the time the winger could not stirke in.This means that the winger did not score for an international for 16 month.I thought that he would ended his drought season after his early strike however, luck was not on his side which the ball hit the post and bounced back to the field.

Ivory team was very active in the field even though their dominance of the field was about 43%.They gave Portugal a very rough struggle for the ball and even had hard tackle on their opponent.Tiene made impressive defense but however, he received yellow card for hard tackle of their opponent.The team pressured the Portugal even harder in the second half after Didier Drogba was put on field.However, it did not make much difference to the Portugal as they could not score until full time as Portugal also gave a stronger defense at the back during second half.

The Portugal keeper, Eduardo just had a brief watch of the ball in the opening 45 minutes.Gervinho made an impressive offence to Portugal by heading the ball hard but out of the goal and the keeper made a good save from Gervinho's shot which came quite far from the box in the second half.This all ended me with disappointment as I would like the Portugal to win the match...Do not misunderstand that I gamble in the match.I am just thinking Portugal has not won the World Cup for some time.I just hope it can reach final.Haha..Sound ridiculous?Perhaps....Maybe..Who knows if Portugal can win..Mission Possible..=)

Tonite there wil be a match between Spain VS Switzerland at 1400GMT(10pm Malaysia time), Honduras VS Chile 1130GMT (7pm) and South Africa VS Uruguay.I will probably will watch for the match between Spain VS Switzerland as it is more interesting and it is not too late for me to watch it at 10pm.So, any idea who will win the game for these 3 matches tonite?^^

Tonite Who WIll Be The Winner?Portugal or Ivory?

Let's kick start with some of the history of Portugal football team.The Portugal team reached for the FIFA World Cup in 1966 for the first time but lost to the eventual world champion England 2-1 in the semi-final.The final result was that the Portugal finished in third place.It re-emerged again to be qualified for the World Cup in 1986 and also for the year 2002 but it did not won either one of the trophy from the tournament as it was knocked out at the first round of the match..

It sounds a bit weird uh what was happening to the Portugal.Sometimes, maybe luck is not on their side.However, it was heard that the Portugal went on strike for the prize over money and refused to train during the first two matches during 1986.Maybe due to that led to the lost of the team.

However, in order to be back again for the World Cup qualifier for the year 2006, the Portugal Football Federation hired the Brazilian coach Luiz Felipe Scholari who led the Brazil team to victory of the World Cup year 2002.Even with the famous coach Luiz Felipe Scholari, the Portugal still could not grab the trophy World Cup 2006.I do not mean that the team is weak or the coach is ineffective enough but sometimes team work is very important as each of them play a major role.As what I have said earlier,luck is not on their side.They were defeated by Greece national team in the semi final in World Cup 2006 and the World Cup winner for the year 2006 was Italy with a penalty shoot out against France 5-3.

Curerntly, the Portugal is under Carlos Queiroz who leads the Portugal to the World Cup 2010.Tonight we will keep our eyes on Christiano Ronaldo who declared himself to be the greatest player in world history.Let us see if he can make it.Since the match is between Portugal vs Ivory Coast, I will support Portugal...I wish he could be the greatest player in the world cup history and hope he is fit in the match tonite.Check it out at 10pm tonite.^^

Holland vs Denmark (2-0) World Cup 2010 South Africa


                          

             2                               0
                                     
It is an easy game for the Holland in the second half as the Denmark defender made a own goal on 46 minutes while the later goal came by when Kirt Duyt scored one more goal which made their team secure a place with 2-0 at 85 minutes.The Danes made a quite impressive defense during the first half period which made Holland difficult to score a goal.

However, no matter how hard they thwarted the attack from Holland, their defense was opened for the opponent to score the another goal after an own goal made by Simon Poulsen who supposingly headed the ball to clear its field but unluckily the ball struck the back of Agger, the defender and went in.

Despite of the effort made by the Danes who had their best opening of the half just after the midway point when Bendtner found himself inside the 6-yard box, his heading was wide of the goal which crossed by Dennis Rommedahl.

Cherating Trip 26 May

We planned this trip a month earlier before the month of May to Cherating.Cherating is a beach which is located about an hour drive from Kuantan, Pahang.It had been a long long time ago since our trip to Teluk Batik back in 2007.So,this time is a must to go for a holiday trip again after 3 years..I had been waiting for this trip before my final test was held last month.Wondering what to pack a week before the trip, I decided to bring 7 pieces of shirts and 4 pants inclusive of short and long pants which was enough for me and I didn't want to wear dirty clothes on my body if I brought less than that.

We departed from Kuala Lumpur at about 9am after taking our home-made breakfast which was prepared by my girlfriend.So delighted as I was served with burger with cheese,fried egg,chicken meat and cabbage.I already mouth watering before the burger was ready and it made me even more hungry as i just woke up and craving for food..>_<.

Well, in the middle of the journey, we stopped at rest area to get some rest and to restore my energy so that I can play actively when I reached.To my surprise,the highway was totally silent as there were no cars.We took Lebuhraya Timur Barat and that was the first time I was on the Lebuhraya Timur Barat.Feeling a bit nervous as I not used to the highway which had no cars at some period of time.I was thinking even if I was speeding that time,I may get caught as there were no cars to give "signal" to indicate there were speed traps.But I don't think the cops will be there as it is hardly to see a single car is on the Lebuhraya Timur Barat.Hmm..no cars means no "rezeki:" lo...

Let me share some of the photos which was taken on that day with you all

This is one of the delicious rendang chicken rice I ordered at Kemaman Kopitiam.Its gravy is quite nice serve with keropok and rice.The culture there is a bit different from my state.To my surprise,there are mix chinese and malay people who are working at Kemaman Kopitiam.Really got 1M concept eh.Haha..



This is "tepung goreng" which is quite famous there.Both of this is a must try as it is quite special.^^






This photo was taken from the resort that I live.The depth of the swimming pool is moderate as it just half of my height only.^^






I believe I can fly...







This photo was taken on the last day of our trip in Cherating beach.Quite sunny and hot that day.The first two days were cloudy..>_<






At ShahBandar Jetty..Here is the place to play River Cruise in Kuantan.There is one in Cherating but we prefer here.^^





Kuantan river.We were on the ride for about 2hours++.It is quite a worth journey for who has never been on the ride.It cost only RM15 per pax.^^
