Henry's Inception Is A Slow Computer

Forgive me for the poor title, just wanted to squash what this post was about in the title, the first thing that I am blogging on is Thierry Henry, that man can never cease to amaze me, from that small flick he did followed by that amazing volley against the Red Devils to that absolute curler he produced for Barcelona in the champions league a few years back, then he helped France get into the World Cup with his controversial hand ball, and now, his first goal for the NY Red Bulls. I mean the cross was good, yes, but how did he get the speed to outrun his marker, how did he guess where he needed to be so accurately, I mean grabbing a goal like that on your debut, against SPURS! A team which qualified for the CL next yearis simply amazing to me.

I really wanna catch the Leanardo Di Caprio film Inception sometime soon, the trailer looks good, the story sounds good and the ratings ARE good, so it seems like a must-watch to me.

My computer is reacting slower than a snail's pace, when it's asleep, that's pretty much how slow it is, I mean for the first few minutes, it's absolutely fine, but then the processes kick in and then it runs at a ridiculously slow pace, I even think my familys former Windows 98 is faster than our new Windows XP 'Media Center', it's so slow! *note the jukebox debut has been pushed back, the official release date will be confirmed soon(I always wanted to say that:))

Always A Pocketful Of Goals

Hey guys! Well I have been just watching a number of Take 180 videos on YouTube and I was laughing my way through all of them, they were all just absolutely ridiculously funny, from the Shane Dawson Glee spoof to the different Tom Cruise(not Tom Cruise) videos and then how amazingly they recreated Ke$ha in a made up Glee audition video, they were all soo funny.

Today was pretty straightforward for me, the usuals, got my Guitar lesson today, learned some song my teacher wanted me to learn, not sure but I think it's by Tokio Hotel, got awesome drumming classes today as well, so I'm well happy about that, and I also had Art, it's probably the lessons which is probably my least fave of my holiday classes.

Tomorrow is some sorta badminton meet up, with a few from mycondo and one more nearby, at least I find that better than art, so I'm happy:). My jukebox/MP4 player will be up and running within the next to days, so I'm pretty excited for that to happen

My baby sister is turning 5 in a few days time and she never spends it at 'home' we always seem to be travelling on her birthday, just small coincidences that always occur, my family is travelling to Awana Kijal this Sunday and then off to Singapore on the Wednesday next week so it's gonna be a bit of a marathon!

The last thing I would like to write about is Liverpool, I mean I didn't call this blog The Angry Scouser for nothing, it's just that I'm a passionate LFC fan. Liverpool are looking soo much better under Hodgson, some people are even considering them as title contenders for this year, so it looks real promising, hope we have a great season ahead! But then again I have to say, of all teams, they HAD to play Arsenal first. Unlucky!

The Mafia Wars Post

Well, it's coming to the end of the month, it's also close to my baby sister's birthday and about time that we are travelling to Singapore. Today I was just realized that one of my closest friends is leaving the school, AND KL is going to leave for India forever, it was absolutely shocking for me to receive that text in which he told me that he was leaving forever. Along with that, I am currently re-hooked onto the Singaporean Chinese dramas. I used to watch them all the time, and then I stopped watching for quite a while. But now I'm back to watching them, and coincidence that I am going to Singapore soon as well. Along with that, I just watched Music and Lyrics earlier today and it never ever stops surprising me. I mean it has pretty good lyrics and a storyline that makes sense, and along with that, I always like the bit at the end when the band PoP shows up, I mean the video is funny, and different. It's a pretty good show!

Currently, my jukebox is currently not really working, I don't know why most music doesn't work now. Apparently, most music only work on a MP4 player. Got a few pretty good tracks currently in there, from the quick paced 'Dynamite' by Taio Cruz to the song I find we a good tune and excellent lyrics, it's 'Secrets' by One Republic, probabably one of the best songs around now. It's got a few slow tunes as well, with 'The Only Exception' by Paramore.

I've been also waiting for a long time for something to happen on an internet game, I'm talking about the new Las Vegas location on Mafia Wars, it was said to be really big, VIP Entrances were rare and the prizes were awesome. It's pretty cool and gonna go to Mafia Wars soo much more now!

Holidays: LMNOP style

Well, the holidays have been pretty cool some badminton lessons, coupled with drumming and guitar, it's been an interesting holiday, considering I normally bum around doing practically nothing except do useless stuff on the computer. Been eating quite a bit recently, got fried chicken, sushi, basically the works. This is also normally the time I go on long holidays, especially considering the fact that I went to South Africa, along with France and Italy around this time of year years back, so it's also kinda different in that context, working on a brand new jukebox on this site, might not be everyone's cup of tea though, I'm just putting it there for me to remember songs:). Along with that, I'm still happy that I'm going to be off to Singapore in a few months or weeks time, so back to my roots for me back then!

You guys might not know this but one of the big reasons I want to go to Singapore is because for some reason my XBOX is broken, apparently it creates a red circle of 3, I'm personally not sure if it's the ring of death so I'm hoping to get it fixed in Singapore.

Well, today is Internet at starbucks,Borders! I'm at the mall The Curve today and checking out the new magazines etc. It's quite an interesting day and I'm gonna watch some sort of Peter Pan performance on this Saturday.

Long days, My Holiday Edition

The Indoor Squash Court In Curve

The New Guitar:)

 Well, it's been a pretty long holiday for me so far, and only a week has gone, the first week went by pretty quickly with me doing barely anything. The second week has been a pretty busy week, kicking off with a busy Monday, with a 1 hour guitar lesson and another two hours of badminton coaching, Tuesday was relatively quiet, hardly doing anything, whilst I caught up with a few friends on Wednesday when we went to watch Despicable Me in 3-D, it was pretty cool, really funny at times and also a cute film to watch in several instances in the movie. Thursday was absolutely tiring, first kicking off with a drum lesson and then a guitar lesson immediately after that. And that wasn't the end of it, with an Art lesson(which I'm not really happy about getting into) following after that. I pretty much went to bed early that day. Today(Friday) was cool, watching the Sorcerer's apprentice. It's a pretty funny and good film, a must watch. Definitely in the top 20 films I have watched(and I have watched a lot).

My Holidays

So my holidays have been continuing and I have heard about the wonderful news that Joe Cole has finally ended speculation by signing for Liverpool, for free! I think Liverpool FC might need a versatile player like him and he will be a fantastic addition to the squad, especially thinking that Riera is leaving really soon and Ryan Babel can't stick up to expectation. I'm also pretty sad as there is huge speculation that Mascherano is pretty much all set to leave Liverpool FC for Inter Milan to join Rafa Benitez. It's pretty downhill for Liverpool despite Joe Cole joining.

And now to my holiday, I mean that IS the title for this post. The first week of my holiday was I admit it, useless, I did nothing and did nothing to help myself. But compared to now, I have a pretty grueling schedule ahead. From badminton and guitar on Monday to the art and guitar on Wednesday and then the drumming on Friday, I guess it's gonna be quite busy for me. But I'm watching Despicable Me on Wednesday with company! I really miss school over the holidays sometimes(and no, it's not for the studying if that's what you're thinking, lol)

Is Torres Seriously Worth That Much Still?

A few months ago, if people asked me about what I thought was Torres' value, my answer would have most certainly 'priceless', but a couple of injuries and a dismal World Cup campaign has certainly changed my mind, he is definitely not the priceless player he used to be. Right now, I value him at roughly around 58 million pounds, I think that's perfect, taking account that Ronaldo was worth 80 million. But still, it must be remembered, he brought Anfield to it's feet on many occasions, providing that glimpse of brilliance, I mean who could ever fill the boots of Fernando Torres, El Nino de oro, The Kid, that kid is one of those absolutely unstoppable players of the game, from his first Anfield goal against the almighty Chelsea when he dummied Ben Haim, to the unbelievable shot he produced against Sunderland. He could just save Liverpool when they need him most.

It's been a pretty long break from school for me, I mean I was sorta getting to the school habit before this break came along, anyways, I watched Eclipse, and my have I gotta say, it's a mega chick flick, I mean what movie puts in the line between the supposed 'hottest characters' of 'I'm hotter than you' it's just plain money grabbing from the teenage girls if you ask me. Otherwise, the holiday has been pretty long, I gotta admit, that's exactly why I've been doing a lot of blogging recently.

The World Cup Is Over, What's next?

So World Cup fever is over, I guess it's the second best thing for me, The Open championship, Tiger Woods had an excellent first day, but he seems like he is faltering today, currently 2 over from four holes. I'm also frustrated that I have to rely on the online leader board to see Tiger's position because of no coverage. And since I am also writing about golf, check this blog out:http://alexnoren.com/ it's an amazing blog made by golfer Alex Noren.

A Bubbly Day :)

 Check this out, this was like my sister's happy bubble day because she she skipped school today, and she really enjoyed herself, even wetting me with that bubble mix on several instances, it was a beautiful day, and check out the bubbles flying.

Guess What?

I just found out this amazing and 100% true fact, there is only 1 team in this entire World Cup who did not have a single loss in their campaign, and it's New Zealand, look at their results, all three are draws, even if they didn't go true to the next round, they still made it unbeaten, I respect them greatly! They have already moved to 54th place in the FIFA Rankings!

If you guys wanted to know a little more about me, here it is. I am a 13 year old boy from well, it's kinda complicated. I was born in Singapore, although both my parents are Malaysian, which makes me a Malaysian, I stayed in Singapore for around 9 years and I moved to the quiet town of Kuantan, in the East Coast of Malaysia, and when another 4 years have passed, I moved to the mega city of Kuala Lumpur, the Singapore system has clearly been the hardest to cope with, with strict standards and mega tests, and that's where it all changed in Kuantan, I switched from the local system of Singapore to the incredibly relaxed British system because of Malay being my clear weak link if I entered a local school. Kuala Lumpur took it up a notch in schooling, but nothing will ever compare to studying in Singapore. I love it here in Kuala Lumpur, it's perfect, not too hard, not too easy, and there are awesome people here!

Every Goal Of The World Cup In 10 Minutes? No Prob

Check this out, this is every single goal of this year's world cup in 10 minutes!

Do It Like Beckham

Image via Wikipedia

It looks like Thierry Henry has signed for the New York Red Bulls, following the footsteps of Beckham, who moved from Spain to the States around two years ago, it was a move for a player at perhaps the end of his career to wind down and relax, while getting more cash and popularity in the States. Barcelona's soon to be former number 14 was disgraced after his hand ball against Ireland and had a disappointing World Cup Campaign, which France got kicked out of in the group stage. Henry was also linked with West Ham.

Legacy of champions post

Their names will be remembered for a long time, from the hero who scored in the final, Andres Iniesta, to Iker Casillas' leadership and David Villa's goals which brought them so far, Spain have been crowned World Champions in the FIFA World Cup. From Paul The Octopus' 100% predictions to the sometimes swerving Jabulani ball, this has certainly been a World Cup to remember. However, from a Liverpool fan's point of view, it's different, when Torres was chasing the ball in the final minutes of extra time, he seemed to aggravate his hamstring, again and it looks set to bring him a season of woe and injury, but nonetheless, Spain are champions of the world!

The Espana Post

The last year has been simply amazing for Spain, from Rafael Nadal's rise from clay court king to all terrain tennis king to Spanish football's football triumphs, with it being champions of the EURO 2008 and currently a guaranteed 4th place at least in this year's world cup, if that weren't enough, Alberto Contador(Spaniard) has won the Tour de France recently as well, so it has been an absolute domination for Spanish sports recently.
Next thing is, Lebron James, the best player in the NBA is still a free agent, surprising as he has got a mega total point tally and has a bag full of tricks. I say he should go to the Lakers, I mean Kobe isn't going to be able to run the show forever, and they need someone current and new, look for LeBron, although more likely destinations are staying with the Cavs or moving to New York. The world waits on his decision.
Chao nation rules, Peter Chao is an amazing comedian on the net, he's unbelievably funny! I mean he creates absolutely hilarious jokes, may the Chao Nation live forever!

Simply Simple

This year's Wimbledon is simply Rafael Nadal's, he was at the peak of his game 2 years ago and he's back. 2010 is HIS year, currently he has a 2-0 lead in sets and a currently running set of him leading 3-2. He's set to reclaim the title and extend his lead in the ATP Rankings by a long shot due to him collecting the title leading up to Wimbledon and the Wimbledon title. 2010 is simply his year. What will the next year hold in store for this young 24 year old, perhaps a chance to beat Roger Federer's record within 3 years? Who knows, who knows.

The 20-20 Post

Argentina have crashed out of the World Cup, for me, they were simply the favourites for this year, with players like Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and a capable boss in Lionel Messi. This World Cup is simply quite amazing. With headlines like

For me, it's quite unbelievable that Lionel Messi and co. are out of the World Cup, with Lionel Messi failing to score a solitary World Cup goal.

The Bobble Head Post

It has been a fantastic week for me, from the panoramic views of the phenomenal lakes to the sight of the breathtaking man-made temples and then to the unbelievable areas of poverty, Cambodia has simply been a life-changing trip and is a memory that will last in my head forever. Perhaps the memory hat remains the closest to myself remains to be Savong's orphanage and school. He is an absolute idol with an amazing story, setting up his school and orphanage, and he's ONLY 29! The school was amazing with all the kids joyous at the site of books, stickers and us, who gave up our time to help them. They learned quickly, always with their beaming face on their side. The orphanage included a pond for fishes or food with the kids wearing their smiles from year to year. They had amazing volleyball talent and it was a hue pleasure to play with them. Angkor Wat is an absolute breath-taker. From the amazing handicraft to the silent and peaceful river, Angkor Wat is certainly a sight not to be missed in this long journey we call life.

In other news, Brazil have been knocked out of the World Cup 2010 by Holland! Personally I reckoned Brazil would go all the way with their resolute defence and their bone-crushing attack but Holland pulled off a masterclass to send Brazil packing. Spain are through to the quarter finals as they beat Portugal 1-0 thanks to David Villa, although Fernando Torres was way off his best form.
