That's just way over-optimistic. Calm down guys...

Attendance

I just noticed that Germany's Bundesliga clubs consistently scores high for highest average attendance in a match. How come their clubs don't seem to be rated as highly as Spain, Italy or England??? Hrm...

Fabio oh Fabio!

How in the world did Fabio Capello turn from a world-class manager to a world-class loser so quickly?! Never have I seen someone become so inept so quickly before.

Chasm

1 night and the emptiness is felt.
2 more nights, can I stand the void?

Frus and alone

Its hard to ignore it when everyone seems to turn on you. All I have
is a cold gone bad. Why do all of you have to avoid me like so?

Epiphany

I just had an epiphany of sorts this afternoon: "That life is just not worth getting upset over... can do do... cannot do, leave it in God's hands... all things will some how work themselves out" and maybe its starting to work???

I don't want to jinx things though... So should I let the world know?

My nose is running away...

Cold, cold go away...
Let my nose clear up today... :(

My kinda watch! :)

I've just found out about Sony Ericsson's upcoming accessory product called LiveView. Its got to be the coolest gadget out there and as a lover of watches, I think this concept will take watches into a new dimension... merging another important equipment in our lives, our timepieces, with another, our phones. The amount of possibilities and functions you can add is limitless. I can't wait to see what developers can do with this concept! :)

I HATE APPLE!

As bad as Microsoft is, no other IT company makes life a living HELL more than Apple (the company, not the fruit... which I love). Its so hard to transfer songs from my comp to my iPod Shuffle! I thought I could use one of those iPod alternatives... but after I tried a few, all I got was I need to use iTunes to sync my music! I don't want to use iTunes to sync cos its so un-user-friendly. After a few tries, I gave up.

So now I am back at square-1 trying to install iTunes and restoring the stupid device's default setting and looks like I have to use iTunes again.

:(

Updating...

For those of you who have been to my blog previously, you would notice that I've "renovated" my blog slightly to make it look fresher. I like it... and I hope you do too. I'll try to keep it updated as time permits.

I realise this is a good place for me to rant and rave about general stuff and it also keeps my written English from becoming rusty. Good eh? :)

Oklah... stay tuned and here's to a more updated 2011 :)

Bad Tune

Tune hotel just forfeited my credits in my account without informing me. This really sucks. The credit was also the result of me booking a room for my in-laws in KL without realising that Tune hotel require the person booking to be present for the stay as well. When I asked them why Airasia can book, Tune cannot... they say they are different companies with different policies...

Says a lot about the whole setup doesn't it... :P

I HATE TUNE HOTELS! >:(

Wishes do come true... kinda :)

I was reading my older postings and I found this wish-list that I wrote about 8 months ago... and I realised that I have actually fulfilled some of my own wishes! Not by much though... :/

So lets go through the list again...

Things that I want(ed):
1. High-end Desktop PC. - DONE. Not as high spec as I wanted but enough for now.
2. Watches - an Orient dress watch and the New Casio Protrek multi-function watch. - NOPE
3. Mobile phone - either a HTC or Nokia. - NOPE
3. Victorinox knives and tools. - DONE. Kinda...
4. Leatherman knives and tools. - DONE. I think this is more or less a YES. :)
5. LED TV and Home Theatre System. - DONE. Kinda... got a TV, not LED but good enough. No home system though.
6. Bicycle. - NOPE
7. Cheap and nice 2nd hand motorcycle. - NOPE
8. Landrover Defender! - NOPE

4 out of 8 (kinda) ain't too bad actually... :) Thank You Lord for your blessings and thanks wifey for letting me get them! :)

Dream...

Found my dream phone - the Samsung Galaxy S2!
It contains all the features and functions that I need or want in a phone! :)

Why is it so difficult for them to come up with a phone that has all the specs I need... All the phone I want sure have something I am not happy with.

For example:
SE Experia X10 - plasticky, Android 2.1 only, no multi-touch (expecting more from an SE phone!)
Nokia N8 - No user-changeable battery and its Symbian apps is limited...
Samsung Galaxy S - no flash
iPhone 4 - its APPLE
HTC Desire HD - too expensive
Acer - still waiting for latest release
Motorola Defy - Android 2.1 only, no 2ndary cam, battery life too short
Windows Phone 7 phones - too early to be stable

Nothing's perfect is it?

Missing you...

I miss her already. Not more than 1 hour away from her... how can I last a week? :/

Sighs...

Feeling a little low. Don't know why. Its okla. Will work it out somehow.

Hard

Sometimes its so hard to maintain the faith...

I had been wondering why Man Utd is so quiet this season. I wonder if the 25-man squad limite has anything to do with it???

On another note, if Man Utd do want to sign a playmaker to replace Scholes, will Mezut Ozil fit the bill?

Let it be

Rants today will become insignificant tomorrow
