I think we just rid ourselves of a top player + pleasant individual.

20-08-2008

Heh, nice number eh?

Had cake for breakfast yesterday, no thanks to that someone who shouted "It's Ismiati's Birthday today!"... tsk tsk tsk... i was trying to stay incognito ya'll.

Anyway, I had a pleasant birthday lunch with my colleagues. The sweetest bunch of folks I've met. I stuffed myself silly and to top it all up, I even had 2 ice cream sundaes to finish!

My birthday dinner was with Kakak Yanni, she make me choose my present (which I heart very much!*sniffs it* THANKS!*hugs*) and gave me a treat at ayam Ojolali. Hah simple affair kan... we wanted to have black pepper stingray at Fish & Co. but it's sold out and I don't want anything else on the menu.

I decided to skip the dessert/cake part of the dinner cos I had too much of them during lunch and I rather we wait for Azmi as well and go crazy with the goodies. HAKHAKHAKHA

I dragged Kakak Yanni to Mustafa to meet up with my parents and we all head home. Yeay! Will be having birthday treat with my family on friday instead, to celebrate the Dad's.

To all the birthday wishes : Thank you so much! I appreciate it. My birthday may be over but presents receiving is still not over yet, so keep them coming in... hahaha.. shameless, I know!

No time to day dream...

As I was rushing through my work. I took a long look at my Calendar and then at my Arsenal wallpaper. Clearly, zoning out.

I recapped Clichy and Nasri hugging each other after the weekend's game and I daydreamed of them overlapping runs together with Martin's strong voice saying "Arsenal left side has the lethal quality to break down any defence".

And I smiled wide. WIDER...before I realised I still haven't finished with my website! Arrgh!

I've got an offline msg today from a friend with a msg "Arsenal not that fantastic leh"

Refusing to go on a full rebuttal, I replied "Some of you will never understand..."

I feel more at ease now, just enjoying as it goes cos it's still early in the season.

My wishlist.

In recent years, I have mellowed down my sheer shamelessness by stop publicizing my birthday as much as I usually do. I normally requests specific present from my closest friends and that's that. I prefer it that way, as I get what I want/need.

Anyway, in light of current gloomy mode and a more challenging birthday coming ahead.
I present you my wishlist:

  1. I need a new watch. Yes, I need a new brown leather watch, to stop me from borrowing my bro's. I don't mind an IWC, really!
  2. Strange Days on Planet Earth DVD
  3. A new wallet cos someone says that it looks like a Nasi Lemak wrapper, anyway that someone will most probably be getting me a new one.
  4. Boots. I need proper cool boots.
  5. A new pair of Birks.
  6. Chuck Taylors, black ones please!
  7. A really good book (Sorry! Too many titles to list)
  8. A new copy of 'Fever Pitch'. Lost mine!
  9. LOTR DVDs cos I loaned my old ones to an ex colleague and I've never see them again!
  10. A new pair of speckies.

Here's hoping that I save enough moolahs to get most things listed before my next birthday.

I don't mind...

if Xabi Alonso were to join Arsenal.

I think he has what it takes to complete the Arsenal midfield, partnering Cesc and the ability to assimilate into the Arsenal's style. I like his passing range and yeap he can tackle and do long range shooting.

But, his $18M might be a deterrent factor and he'll be atypical Wenger's signing.

If we can't get our hands on Xabi, please let SONG be the partner for Cesc. Pls Pls Pls!
I don't mind Denilson but he'll be behind Song in terms of pecking order. And I will never let Diaby anywhere near the first team until he learns how to tackle properly and doesn't take 1826498873467 years before passing the ball or rather develop some sort of brain mechanism to understand WHEN to pass the ball and WHEN keep it. Selfish players ranked high in my pet peeves list. I find anyone that refuses to pass, when their team mates are in better positions and do it as their last resort are numbskulls, who does not understand the very concept of playing football. If you are so into individualistic trick pony skillz, try picking up tennis or badminton because football is a TEAM sport. READ THIS: TEAM SPORT. You work as a blardey team. Please note how frustrating for it for your team mates screaming for the ball when they run into better positions, when you obviously being a donkey, tries to squeeze your way between 2 towering blocks. Please do not FOOL yourself into a falsified grandeur of being the next Diego Maradona or Pele, we're not in 1986 ya'll!

Rarrgh!

Auld Lang Syne

My Cutestfren intern finally reached the last day of her internship at my workplace, she left last Friday. The room has gotten considerably quieter and I can't seem to find anyone else to get away and have a chat with. I miss bullying her and I guess no more 'HAPPY' meals for lunch. :(

Anyway,
I know this is too early to say but all looks pretty bleak in various front.
