Football, what?

FAM is supposed to stand for Football Association of Malaysia, or is it supposed to stand for Football Assholes of Malaysia? After being trashed by China 5-1, they went on and get trashed 5-0 by Uzbekistan. So what does FAM actually stand for? You make your own decision.

After all these humiliating defeats in the AFC, the people are starting to condemn the standard of Malaysia national football team. I came across this particular letter in The Sun newspaper. The author really proved that Malaysia football team cannot attack, neither can they defend. Please, being outscored 10 goals to 1 goal is a total disgrace!! What's more? That's the total of two games only!

I actually managed to watch part of the Malaysia vs Uzbekistan match. It was pure coincidence. Where was I? Well, at the mamak stall. Yeap, they were airing it live. There was two other Malay boys watching the game as well, and they were seated next to me. I'll bet with you that those two boys were utterly disappointed at the standard of football Malaysia is playing too!

As I am writing this, I can't help but to think of the match between AS Roma vs Man. Utd.. Well, that match ended 7-1 in favor of Man. Utd.. But to say it's a total disgrace to AS Roma is totally wrong. Why? Because AS Roma actually won the match right after that trashing. Now you are talking football. But letting in 5 goals in two consecutive match? C'mon, even non football fans are venting their anger.

And to talk about Manchester United, Malaysia actually cancel their tour here because of this tournament. Well, I think the consequences are showing now, aren't they? Already not many people watch Malaysia national football team play, and now there are people boycotting that event because they don't get to see Manchester United play in Malaysia. And after those humiliating defeats, all those football fans are just going to point at Malaysia football team and laugh their arse off, won't they? Isn't this a case of adding salt to wound? And in this case, adding salt to their OWN wound!

The only solution now is actually to privatise football in the country, just like what England is doing for their very own English Premier League. The government should never ever get involved in any matter regarding football, and should never ever introduce politics into football. You are saying there's no politics in Malaysian football? Well then, tell me why My Team FC is doing way better than all the other football clubs in the country? I'll tell you why. It is because Shebby Singh (manager of My Team FC) picks player aka talent without discrimination; it is also because there is no politics involved in his team. You think his team is not successful? Well, selection for My Team FC 2 is coming up, and this time they are playing against Indonesia. Where's Malaysia? They don't even raise an eyebrow in football!

You can say I am bias in my point of view. But what is football if the players can't even stand up when being brushed aside by other defenders? Please, there is no determination and will shown in the football Malaysia national team is playing. I'll bet that any normal high school team can beat them in a duration of 90 minutes! Disgrace!

~~Down the drain, down the drain. Malaysia national football team standard is going down the drain!~~

I (am an @$$) on duty!!

I went to INTI-UC in Nilai on Saturday for the Inter AUP Skills Challenge. I was supposed to take the bus, but then found out that Foo was driving so I conveniently jump into his car. LOL. Thanks Foo!! Hahaha...

While paying the toll on the way to Nilai, someone honk us. At first me and Foo thought it was Foo who accidentaly touched the honk. But then it came again. This time we were very clear that Foo didn't touch the honk. Suddenly, there was a loud siren wailing right behind us. Then it became clear to us. It was a police bike that honk us, and now he is blaring his noisy annoying siren. He and his big @$$ bike can't go through the toll plaza.

After we clear the toll, we let him through. Guess what? He gave us the kind of don't-you-know-I-am-on-duty-to-send-big-shots-off look. You know, those kind of dirty looks we some times give to people who annoys us. Excuse me? How are we supposed to let you through when we haven't clear the toll? Are you going to clear it for us? We need to find change for the toll, need we not? Even the toll plaza cashier also need to prepare the change right? If your big (arse) shot is so important, he won't even be using the highway, will he? Use the helicopter all the way to the airport!! I'm sure there are thousand of places for a helicopter to land in an airport, aren't there?

Now that I have fallen victim to such embarassing incident by the police force of Malaysia, I finally understand why some people take this incident to the national papers to complaint about the rudeness of police man/woman. Yet I heard that the government said they (the police force) are polite and wonderful, never rude. Say what? It's Visit Malaysia Year 2007, and you show your disrespect to users of highway, on the way to the airport!! Do you think people will still come to Malaysia after that? I think not. What a disgrace!

What's happening to my beloved country's English?!

I was reading the newspaper today, and I came across this:

Excuse me? How do you spell NOODLE? Noddle? Ok, I can accept that this is a typing error, but what's the spell checker doing? He/she ain't doing the job right, is it not?

Anyway, this isn't the first time newspaper published news with errors. But then again, this might be serious considering that a young kid might just see that news (headline ok??) and start spelling wrongly! Yeah, I think too much, blame it on boredom then.

Does anyone watch 8tv's So you think you can dance? Well, one of the contestant is my mum's friend's son. Yeah yeah, complicated relationship, but it doesn't matter. What matter is, he said that the producers of the show actually manipulates the outcome of the results. The judges' decision to put whom into the bottom four (or six now I am not too sure) is being determined by the producers. Guess what happens next? Yes, racist results. Who's racist you say? Well, watch the show for just one night, who gets into the bottom placing even though they outclassed the others in dancing will then determine your answer.

Oh, the emcee for that show, some malay lady, is extremely bad. The show's title is in English, therefore I don't think anyone can have the perception that this show will be entirely conducted in English. Well, you are WRONG! The judges speak malay, and if they speak English, they struggle for the suitable words. As for the emcee, half the time (or more!) she will be speaking in malay, the other half of the time (or less, definitely) she will be speaking horrible English. She can't even pronounce the words correctly, let alone the title of the show! Excuse me? Who will be interested in watching the show if the emcee can't even pronounce the title of the show accurately?! Can't they use other people who can speak perfect English as the emcee? Or these people are too highly paid because of their language proficiency? My guess is yes, they demand more wages. Prove me wrong, anyone?
