P.S. I Love You

Went to Popular Bookstore at 1 Utama today, looking to spend my RM90 voucher (RM30 from Sue and the rest from Yan Jian, Kheng Kim and Wei Sin as my 21st birthday present). I was spoiled with many choices, from opera songs, classical music and few books like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Boy Who Talks to Ghosts and the list goes on forever. However there were few books that I could use the Popular member card to get cheaper ones so I opted for those books that were fixed price. Furthermore, I could download any music I wanted, buying cds nowadays were not too worthy (some excluded).

I checked the Top 10 Hottest Books and this one, P.S I Love You from Cecila Adhern was on the top. Usually I rejected any romance novels but this time around I did not know why I picked it up. Perhaps She is the reason. I believed I made a good choice cos there would a movie of this coming. I was looking forward to it actually, haha. Maybe I could pick up a few tactics or two LOL. But then, She had this book as well, not working!

After all, I spent RM1.90 on this book only, for I spent RM30 voucher.

The Art of Defense

I am often seen as a dirty player ever since I played here at Sunway SPK but totally not in my good old times cos Ong Yong Tat holds that honour haha. I am accused of grabbing, pushing, high boots and tackling on people by Uncle Kenny. What the hell, Uncle Kenny must see how Mr Ong plays.

I disagree that on grabbing and agree on the rest. I am only pushing only when the opponents are just shoulder by shoulder and using all my body strengths to get the ball square and fair. I never bang them and make them falling apart cos that's a foul.

High boots, yes sometimes it might get a little too high but I have not kicked on someone's chest or head so far in my games. No worries.

Meanwhile tackling to regain possession is a good fine line between successful and failure. This is what I am going to say in this very post.

I cannot understand why dribbling is always considered the beauty of the game and tackles are not by many people. In fact I think tackling is harder to do cos perfect dribbling needs only body strengths and good footwork. Even FIFA do that by awarding the Player of the Year awards to mostly midfielders and strikers, and overlooking defenders most of the time.

Yes I am aggressive because I have the winning mentality, just that I do not score goals. My job is to defend and win every ball back in order to give my teammates a chance to attack. How are you going to score if you have the opponents keep attacking and you don't even have the ball under your feet? If you can name me any defensive players that is unaggressive I will stop playing football. I have never done anything that breaking leg so stop saying me playing dirty. I am no Roy Keane.

I am kinda the thinnest of all and yet I am accused being rough. Your huge body can simply shield the ball and then get away from me. If you were running too slow or the ball is getting away, I just try my very best to clear it or regain possession.

Come on this is a man's game! Play like a man. Bruises or bleeding, so what? I have to say that the football quality around me is quite low. I enjoy a lot playing with UUFC and with Malay and Indian adults cos they were very competitive. The last time I played with Jabil employees they were top class and I was a noob.

What's rough? For example, loser like Roy Keane that kept injuring people (for once he ended a player's career) and profanities was all he knew is the answer. Otherwise it is not.

I am not trying to say I am very good cos I had been on the losing side many times and I am still learning the game. I am just determined to win games and have a lot of passion about football.

Oh between I am a Malaysian. Football is totally a mess here and that's a real shame!

I Dislike Some People

There are a few people around me that I am really upset with.

To a certain person, please change your opinions on friendship, I almost cannot bear that anymore. Your reasons for not photocopying books and lent me notes made me really upset, and I think one more person too. Please don't think friends are someones that are trying to use you.

And a word to a big guy, I can take criticisms about my football but all I have from you are all bad ones like I am so useless. It's like you are a professional. If you were trying to get into my family do something that makes everyone happy, my mum and I are not on your side in fact. If I am given the chance I am going to hack your team down on the pitch next week.

And to a guy, please get a life. Complaining whole day long does not change anything. Chase the girl if you liked her so much. My ears have suffered a lot. Some people might think you are funny but not in my case. However, since you are so kind to everybody so i still can bear with it.

Lastly there is one more person but I still can accept it anyway cos she simply deleted my comment on her blog. I posted my opinion about the movie and do you really have to do it? I was not being harsh or anything.

This is my freedom of blogging. Do not question it, thank you.

First Game For SSPK United, Against Taman Maluri

After such an incredible day followed with my first competitive game after such a long time. I think my last game was the futsal tournament with Utopia United Football Club at Mak Mandin, Penang on 2004 or 2005 so it was a really long time.

Get to the point. At first I was really disappointed that I was left on the bench (thanks to Uncle Kenny)but then someone did not turn up so I filled up the slot instead. I played on the left back which was my position back in the times with UUFC. Our opponent is from Taman Maluri and we were the host. And so the friendly match started.

In the very first minute I knew were going to thrash them unless miracle happened. They could not keep the possession at all and they could not even make it to our own half. Uncle Kenny then striked at goal with a real drive and joy appeared on his face. Neo Ray Lim added another one no long after.

I was going up and down on the left and sometimes in the penalty box. One of their defenders half cleared the ball with his head and it was coming to my direction. "This is my moment" my head was thinking. I was standing on the edge of the penalty box and it was so crowded inside. I was never a good striker especially with my foot so I used my head instead. Bang! It went into the right bottom corner, the keeper had no chance at all.

We were leading 4-0 and all of the first team players were subbed with the Under-18 team and the opponent was still with their main players. We ended winning 8-2 in the end. I had to say Taman Maluri players were simply bad on that day.

I had a nice goal and a nice game. The goal was dedicated for you dear. Love you.

Inauspicious 13.6.2008?

Would you assume 13.6.2008 which falls on Friday, an inauspicious day? In fact, that day has lesser accidents than any other day cos people will be more aware on the road. However, this very day is both auspicious and inauspicious in my case. How crazy.

Three days before that day, my beloved boots were dead cos they were totally broken or open mouth already. So I splashed two hundred bucks on the new Adidas boots on that "special" day and yes, I was over the moon.

Later on that evening I tried my new boots and as expected, my performance was not good at all. I missed the ball many times and passed the wrong ball. Every footballer needs time to cope with his/her new boots in order to become one haha. But it is really true, once you are comfortable with your boots you will play much better.

Then the disaster striked. I was chasing Uncle Kenny at full acceleration and there was no way to stop him, he scored. I tried to slow down but I did not aware the post was so near to me and bang! Luckily I turned around my head in time and it hit my jaw. Aww it as really painful and I lost a few drops of blood.

Thus, it summed up what a day for me. Thank you God I love you so much.

Captain of Sunway SPK United!

I've been living with my uncle and his family at Sunway SPK, Damansara and I often play football at the pitch here. When I started playing there were only me and my cousin Yuan Shen. Then more and more people joining us. However I left to Penang for industrial training for 5 months. Yuan Shen told me there were many good players playing there during that time and I was so relished to play with them.

Now I am back and have been playing for a while now and what Yuan Shen said was true. Uncle Kenny, who I have played with for a few months, is a nice lad to play with and he is so into football. He even forms a football team for Sunway SPK (with him being not the resident LOL) when I back to Petaling Jaya and makes me the captain. I think it is because he rates me quite highly in my defensive qualities and aggressiveness. He took a RM20k+ camera just like the pros using and snaps the photos in high quality. What a man!

What's best is that he makes us an official website for us! Here's the link: http://sspkutd.dyndns.org/
Uncle Kenny!!! I hate Manchester United la, faster change the logo please!

My personal page: http://sspkutd.dyndns.org/Players&Staff/KenLim/kenlim.htm

I hope I have an armband to wear. Please Uncle Kenny, get me one! My girlfriend sounds very happy for me. Love you darling. =D


THE CAPTAIN OF SSPK UNITED! REJOICE!


Euro 2008 Mania


Euro 2008 started yesterday on 7th June. I support Spain mainly cos England are out of the tournament and Liverpool have four players on duty with the former team, namely Jose Manuel Reina, Alvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres. Torres is one of the "Man to Watch" of this tournament and hopefully he can score a bag of goals. I believe he can do it cos even ex-Red Milan Baros of Czech Republic could do it on the last tournament.

Go go Spain!

Overacted



(Please click on the picture for larger views)

Lek Chay Tong, you don't have to do this right? It's normal to have a girlfriend and why are you so overacted? I will tell you when the time is right.Haha. Between, no one seems to bother me with questions, meaning nobody cares about you on MSN. Lol.

What A Surprise!


(Please click on the picture for larger views)

This was what I've got for my industrial training result on the first week of the semester (sorry for not updating it). It's a huge surprise cos I never expected it and I only hoped for B or B+. The reasons were because my report was the shortest that I knew among my friends and my not-so-excellent evaluation form from my supervisor, Ms. Wan Ilham.

My report was only around 45 pages and there were people wrote around a hundred. I wrote a lot of junks and used my imagination (you know what I mean, I worked a lot of junks) to write my report. Pauping scolded me why I written so less but she said maybe I could write so lesless cos my English was good and I did not need to write so many pages with junks (think again Paupau). Furthermore, Ms. Ilham gave me "Good" and a very nice comment in the evaluation but seriously I did not think they were enough to get an "A".

Tell me, how many times you can score 4.000 GPA in a semester? This is the one and only chance. Haha.

This was a huge surprise. Love it.

I'm Bringing Sexy Voice!

Last week a female friend told me that both she and her cousin thought that my voice was sexy years ago. Actually they were my net friends but we met at Pacific in Penang years ago. My first thought when she told me was that "Ok so now u meet me and I wasn't sexy at all!" LoL!

For unknown reason, I got so happy...maybe it's simply too few people saying good things about me. =P This is hugely PERASAN! Haahahahaha!!!

I actually told this to my sisters and my girl and their responses were so discouraging..LoL.

Eldest sister: She definitely wants something from u so be careful. =P (I told her maybe that gal tried to court me)

Elder sister: What?! Your voice is sexy? Don't make me faint.

My Girl: I think you sound more like a gangster.

p/s: Thanks y'all for such honest answers. Now I am jumping into the sea. LoL!

My First Ever Summon

I went to Section 14 or Digital Mall there to pay the university fee at Public Bank which was nearby. I parked my car and left to the bank along with Yan Jian, Kheng Kim, Chongyi and Wei Sin. When I got back after a mere 25 minutes or so, I was victimized. Only after that I realized I had to pay the parking fees in that area and RM100 shall soon fly away, perhaps haha.

Midvalley On 29 May 2008

There was a 5 hours break until the next class so I went to Midvalley with friends last Thursday. I brought along Kok Foo and Chongyi while Yan Jian brought the rest. I was not so sure about the directions and I turned into the wrong way and I was in Bangsar. With the help of Kok Foo, Chongyi and a nice Malay guy in the petrol station, I managed to get back to our destination anyway. Phew! Thanks man!

Chongyi, Albert, Me, Paupau and Canny



Canny, Paupau, Albert, Me, Kok Foo and Chongyi (This photo is taken by an Ang Moh!)

Don't do it Albert!


It's me with Kok Foo and Chongyi


Petrol Now Priced RM2.70/litre!

Malaysia Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawai has confirmed that the petrol will raise from RM1.92 to RM2.70 or 40% increment. What a good move from Barisan Nasional after their humiliating lost during the General Election early this year. I understand if they had to do since the petrol is getting expensive each day but 40% is simply too ridiculous.

I went to a petrol station nearby my uncle's house and the station is closed! Bad tactic! Are they storing petrol so that they can earn more from tomorrow onwards? Hate it hate it hate it!!!

The new price of RM2.70 ringgit did not reflect the full market value, which could be as high as 3.00-4.00 ringgit when the price controls are completely removed in August.

Someone faster invents new and cheap car without using petrol and he is going to be the richest man on Earth! Haha!

My 21st Birthday

Today is not exactly my birthday but my another half's and her present is me! Haha! Wish that our love will last forever. =)

I am just happy as her as if today was my own birthday. Though I could not celebrating this meaningful day with her but deep down in our hearts, that we are so close to each other. I am very confident of that.

Love u dear and happy birthday! =)

One Month And Stil Going...Hopefully.

As the title said, it has been a month (yesterday precisely) since me and her together. Though we had countless of quarrels but we patched up anyway. She told me yesterday that she felt hard satisfying me and finished. What am I gonna do? I have absolutely no idea what was she talking about. However I left her studying cos the exam was the next day and I did not want to put any more pressure on her.

Everytime she starts ignoring me I feel extremely hurt. I really appreciate this relationship and I know she loves me too. God please help me!
