A New Liverpudlian Is Born

Right now, as of 4.45am, I am sitting in front my laptop, blogging. I have just watched a gruesome game between Chelsea and Liverpool. We lost 3-1 at home and we needed to win by 3 goals in order to progress. It was a very important game and both me and my gf watched the game in different corners of the world.

And as predicted, Liverpool failed to progress but they put a very good fight. Apparently 4-4 was not good enough for the Reds but it showed that we were evenly matched teams. We did not have any Abramoviches but the quality was in the team, just maybe not in depths.

My gf cried lots and lots after the game really and I had to console her lots and lots too haha. I knew exactly how she felt. Believing in the team she loved so lots that any defeats will simply ruin her days.

She is a young fan compared to me, who have watched football around 8 years already. I've gave up my tears and especially my sleeping time (ah ha!) for them (VERY TERRIBLE when Liverpool lose some more!). As I grow older, results are still important to me but I don't take that as life and death anymore. Some of the love in Liverpool simply have shifted to her and she gets all my attention now. Perhaps I was so so so crazy because I did not have any responsibilities to my other half.

I can tell all of u here how crazy she is, if not crazier. She reads every Liverpool news and she knows our next opponent and the time the game is played earlier than me. She cries for Liverpool which I have stopped long ago. Telling me lotsa Liverpool things and texting YNWA in our love sms some more! =P Sometimes I really jealous of Liverpool la.

A New Liverpudlian is born!

Actually when we first started I tried to minimize my Liverpool craziness simply because I afraid she did not like I stick to football too much. I thought a balance is needed. Yeah I influenced her to be a Red fan but I really did not know she would got so crazy. Anyhow, I really don't know what would happen if we got married. Shouting like crazy people in the house when Liverpool score. Terribly sorry for the kids because weekends belong to their crazy parents sticking to the tv and none for them. xD

One good thing about this is that she cannot laugh or tease me again cos she is doing everything I did. Deja vu?

Proof of her crying.

Bug in FM 2009!

Since when Theo Walcott plays for a weak side like Man Utd? And what kinda English (or programming) is that?! Wake up SI Games!

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

The Sound of Silence

Kheng Kim, a friend of mine, asked me whether I still blogged. I said yes but I was kinda lazy by then =P All of a sudden, the urge of blogging suddenly comes into my mind again hahaha. Thus I declare this blog will not die before I did =P Actually I have a few stories but perhaps I should keep them for the next postings.

Watched "Watchmen" with a few friends on Thursday. The movie was crap but the songs were really nice. One of the songs, titled "The Sound of Silence" really touched my soul. The last time I listened to it was really long ago and that served as a perfect opportunity to refresh my memory again haha.

Here it goes:



Yes it is really old but only great songs able to endure the challenge of time, am I right? ;D

Lyrics:


Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Thin and Thinner

I am already thin. Used to be so underweight and it has gone worse. 60kg for a 176cm made me like a walking skeleton in the past. Few weeks ago I weighed again and it had dropped to 59kg. I don't know why this is happening to me.

I have two jeans, a new and an old one. The old jean suits me perfectly while I need a belt for my new one. I found that my old jean is going to be just like my new jean this noon, meaning I am now lower than 59kg. ='(

I am getting thinner. I don't want this. Used a few methods to increase my appetite when I was young but it did not work at all. =/

I really really hate this. God please give me a few more kilograms =D

100 & 1

An amazing player with his amazing goal tally. This is Steven Gerrard of Liverpool and his 100th goal for Liverpool during the 3-1 victory against PSV Eindhoven at Anfield. Scoring a century of goals is uncommon when you are not playing as striker but Gerrard made it possible. This player has to be one of the most versatile player I've ever seen. He has played in almost every position other than the goalie. To add to his delight, his 100th goal is an absolute cracker.


People often said it is good to share your happiness so here comes Robbie Keane! This Irishman has been playing well but he did not find his goalscoring touch until this game (reminding me of Peter Crouch). His first ever goal for the club he supported since he was still a boy. I really enjoy his cartwheel celebration but this time around he is doing for my Liverpool!

The End

19 September 2008 - The Wrath of Love

This afternoon she suddenly asked for breakup and this really shocked me. While she said our thinking were just too different and she was crying lots rather than being happy with me so I had to accept this grueling fact, that was to let her go. I felt it was pity to end this but it would be the best if she could find a much much much better guy than I am. It was simply I could not fulfilling her needs often and left her in disappointment. I want her to be happy in life, not the other way round.

I guess the only thing that I REALLY regret is that it would be impossible for us even to be friends. She is a very good gal and it is God's grace to be her friends.

The wireless network here has been down for quite sometimes but somehow there is an unsecured network detected to let me blog to express my feelings. Thank you God.

Dear, I love you forever and ever.

My Studies So Far

This is my final year, Year 3, semester 1. This is one hell of a semester cos I have so many subjects to deal with and of course, the final year project.

I am very busy and I miss my sleep so much but the support from family and Dear really giving me that extra energy to go forward.

Furthermore I was hit by wrist injury so everything even went extra difficult. Some lecturers were really kind and helped me lots. Thank you all!

But then I did not do quite well in certain subjects, I need to buck up!

NO SACRIFICE, NO VICTORY

My Left Wrist

It was just my second game for SSPK FC and it was against South Lake from Desa Parkcity. I was down injured after just playing for few minutes. This time around I wore my temporary jersey with number 4 on my back. Was that an omen? I never believed anything like that.

I was chasing the ball with full throttle, I was going to tackle him but someone hit me from behind and I fell. Oh no, I used both my hands to protect my body but it was not the right thing to do. Aaarrgghh....my left wrist! It was deformed! It was really awful though I felt just little pain. Off I went to see the clinic nearby and the doctor said I needed to go to hospital. Nice uncles also from my football club helped me to drive and brought me home. Grandma was shocked and I was scolded for some time. Then my uncle brought the all of us to Damansara Specialist Hospital and the doctor was Dr. Gan Eng Cheng.

Accident should be around 6 and I was admitted almost 7 something and went in to operation room at 9. Done at 9.45 and spent a night in the freaking cold hospital. Cool, I had 4 hooks on the wrist and heavily bandaged for 5 weeks. What's best was the almost 9k operation and follow-ups costs. Sorry mum and dad for burning a hole in the pocket, I will surely study hard and pay back. I know the money is for the vacation and I promise I will sponsor the both of you to many places.

I wanna thank everyone who helped me along the way, uncle and his family, family and friends. I really can't thank you guys enough. I also wanna thank my Dear for being supportive and cared lots of me. Love u really.

So finally the hooks were taken out and signalled the end of my crazy and boring 5 weeks. But I still have to exercise my hand more or it won't move around smoothly. I'm scared. No more taxi! Woohoo! I can drive again!

Here's some pics and videos: (Not for faint-hearted LOL)

Why I'm so weird?

My 21st Birthday

Hello Ken, you are officially 21 now. You shall make your own decisions in your life and held liable for everything.

It was a happy day, or two days, cos I managed to celebrate this wonderful event with many of my closest family members.

The day before my big day, my uncle brought me, mum, Sue and his family to Souled Out to celebrate. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and of course, wines. It's a pity that my Dad chose not to come but I did not blame him. He had insomnia and it was extra tough for him to sleep at someone's house. My girlfriend actually texted him asking him to come but it did not work out hehe. Thanks Dear for your great effort. Anyway I still received his sms and it made me feel good too. Oh right, I got Da Jie's wishes too. Love you Dad and Da Jie!

A Very Nice Place

Me, Sue and Mum. Dad and Da Jie in our hearts.

Then came my big day, I celebrated with my classmates at Albert's house. Thanks for the cards and the presents! Love them! Thanks everyone!

1) My 21st Birthday
2) My Left Wrist
3) My Studies So Far

LETTER TO LIVERPOOL FANS FROM LIAM'S FAMILY

Dear LFC,

I am writing to thank the supporters of Liverpool Football Club for making my son's last few days with us happy ones.

On April 17 he received a signed shirt along with other bits and bobs from your club after one of your fantastic fans got in touch. You offered for him to travel to Liverpool but he was too poorly to make the trip. When he received the shirt it was the first time I had seen him smile or seen his eyes shine in weeks.

Between your club and the fans you have supporting you, you made my son's last few weeks bearable and for that I am eternally grateful.

The banner that was shown during the first leg of the Liverpool v Chelsea semi-final was the second time the smile and glint in his eye returned. Seeing him lying in bed wearing his precious shirt are memories we will carry with us forever.

He was barely with us for the second leg but he watched as much as he could. At the end, he said 'the best team lost'.

Liam was diagnosed with Burkitt's disease (cancer) on February 21 and was in Newcastle RVI for intense chemotherapy. On March 28 we were told the treatment was working but then a week later we received the terrible news it had returned and there was nothing they could do. They gave him two weeks to live and he was with us for four. He passed away at 4pm on May 5.

He was a humble, brave and courageous 17-year old and I truly believe that along with his friends, family and his love of music, the signed shirt you sent gave him the strength to stay with us longer.

That is why, although it's hard, I wanted to write this letter of thanks to you all.

Liam said 'you only ever see the bad press about football and its fans but you never see this side, do you mum?' He's right. So, once again, thankyou from us all. A simple shirt made the world of difference to a young fan and his family.

Yours forever grateful,

Tracie (mum), Reuben (dad) and Paige (sister)

Ken's thoughts:
YNWA Liam Harker & Family.
Briliant Liverpool fans, keep it up!

Hiatus

My left wrist is fractured and I am doing all work mostly with my right hand. Furthermore assignment's deadline and tests are just around in the corner so I officially announce this blog will go hiatus.

However, be warned, I WILL BE BACK!

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.

P.S. I dunno why I never posted any movie that I have watched on my blog. Should be doing this next time xD

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!
