Newcastle 1 Everton 1

Newcastle v Everton LIVE on Fox and the game kicks off at 1am Melbourne time..Got on a train from South Yarra trainstation to Caulfield to meet up with Kar Heng and Shawn to drive me to Century City, Springvale to watch the live game..

Its been awhile since i last watch Everton live on tv..O well..The game started brightly with both side throwing everything they got at one another..Of course it was Newcastle who came out much stronger in the first half..Of course Newcastle took the lead in first half through Bellamy's fifth minute goal against us..

During half time we had some wedges, beer, 20cents coffees, and some slot machine games..oopss..yea..20cents coffees!! And the coffees aint bad at all!! HONEST!! Com'on this coming from a coffee addict im pretty sure its pretty good coffee and might pretty well be even better then some 4-5bucks coffees..

Anyway, back to the game..Everton as expected responded pretty good in the second half after trailing Newcastle 0-1..No substitutes were made but some tactical changes were enforced and in the 56th minute, Everton earned a freekick and Lee Carsley curled that freekick in to the Newcaslte goal to bring Everton 1-1..



Both teams had some pretty good chances to take the lead but both fail to find the end of the net and the game went on to some breath taking moments..


The game ended 1-1 and its one point to both teams but it was more of a triumph for Everton to come out of St.James Park with a point...Not many teams could have done that..


Later on went to Young's close friend hse to watch the Liverpool v Arsenal game..Thanks to all that brought me around!!

Melbourne

Melbourne..hmmm..so much to be said about..It's been a while since i last blogged but here's a draft for the first 5 days of my trip in Melbourne..Couldnt really remember everyday but will blog on special events or trips or etc..

Well, i've reached Melbourne at 11pm on Friday, 26th Nov..It is certainly a place that suited me way better then Perth..Well, haven't got all the time to write in here..But so far, it's been brilliant..Am certainly going to enjoy my 6 weeks in Melbourne..

This is the story so far,

DAY 1
Arrived at 11pm..Jess and Jenn came and picked me up!! :) Had to wait for about 15-20 minutes before they arrive cos my flight landed rather early..Oh well..Got to their hse in South Yarra and it's certainly a nice looking place..

DAY 2
Had Morning breakfast at St Kilda with Jess, Jenn and Gina and later on went to Chadstone Shopping Mall..A 2-storey shopping mall pretty similiar to what we have Carousel Cannington shopping mall..*yawn yawn*

DAY 3
Had lunch at this yummy Vietnamese Restaurant in Richmond with Jenn, Gina and Jess.. :)

Later on went to Chapel Street on show and boy was i tired after the trip..Chapel Street is such a loooooooong street..Shops everywhere...My goodness..Melbourne is really a Shopping Haven!!!


Lovely Jess and myself.. :)


Look what treasures i found..lol

And later that night went for live Soccer at Century City, Springvale for the Newcastle v Everton and Clayton for the Liverpool v Arsenal game with Kar Heng, Shawn, Young and myself..

Melbourne here i come..

Well have finally done packing and cleaning up my place before i depart for Melbourne in 12 hours time..Will be there for good 6 weeks and will then return to KL!!!! O LA LA!! Can't wait..This coming 3 months is going to be SUPER!! Why just make it 3 months? Might as well say from now on, MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE SUPER!! MUAHAHAHHAHAH..



Well, have been playing Need For Speed Underground 2 and it's not too bad..It's nice..It's addictive..But frankly, i prefer the model they had on the first edition rather then Kelly Brooke now..And the music is not that good as compared to the previous ones..Anyway the game play can get pretty boring at times but in a way its good cos i wouldnt be glued to it for half a day..Certainly worth the buy for u guys who couldnt get hold of a pirated/burnt version..Im still waiting to get my hands on the new Championship Manager..Will probably have to wait till January when i return..

MAMA MIA!!! Time sure flies!!

Another season of good shit of stressing and trying to squeeze in as much knowledge as we can into our brains causing massive information overload and potential brain damage has passed..o well..it has happened for about a decade now..Exams are finally over and done with for yet another semester..Exams not too bad this semester i reckon..*fingers crossed*

Well, its that time of the semester again..Where ppl pack, have a couple of drinks, and bid farewell..Some you'll be able to see again next semester, some you might not be able to see them ever again..Some ppl are just so anxious and fly out on the first flight available..Where's the fun peeps?!! Cant u guys like stay for a week or two extra and just enjoy the life without having the thoughts of assignments or tutorials running behind ur mind..O well..

Anyway, my burden's really lifted away now..i guess..if i dont fail any subjects this semester..Otherwise i'd have only 2 subjects to do upon my return next semester...WOHOO!!!

Okkk..Anyway, will be leaving for Melbourne on Friday!!! Will there for 6 long weeks..And hopefully it'll turn out to be a n enjoyable one..But im pretty sure it will!! ;)

Well well well...Looks like the transfer mill have start to spin now on Everton..Linking with hundreds of players jus bcos we are doing SUPERBLY WELL and have just been injected heaps of funds!! Many of u might think that come January, Everton will bring in a few good players and Everton will be stronger then..But how true can that be?

Bringing in new players might distrupt the flow that the team has..We might land players like Scott Parker, Mido, Robert Huth, Van Bommell, McCarthy, Beattie or Robbie Keane but will they really do good to the team or will they distrupt the plays and damage the team..Many pundits predicted that Everton will definitely face relegation this season after watching Radzinski smashing all the harmony in the club and of course Judas Rooney leaving the club..But what has happened so far? The team pulled together and focused on the plays and came out with results!! We play as a TEAM!! :)

The January transfer window should be seen as an opportunity but do not over excite and look forward to signings..Whether Moyes chooses to splash the cash or to save it for future usage, it's his decision and many Evertonians have said this,

"In Moyes We Trust"

Everton 1 Fulham 0

1-0 1-0 1-0....1-0 for the Everton boys!! We are third on the table..We are third..We are still third..Ooo...We are catching up!!

A typical defensive formation was employed by the Fulham boys..Tryin to play out a draw or get a sneaky 0-1 win..Well..Again, we've been controlling the game and deserved to collect all three points from this game!! :D

Remember Cuntface Tomasz Radzinski? Well, it's his first return to Goodison after leaving Everton in a conflict..He was claiming then that he wanted to move to a bigger club..He see no future in Everton..He critic Moyes and think that Moyes is no where close to being a decent manager..He told Rooney to pack his bags asap and leave Everton instantly!! What a fcukin twat!! Well, tomasz my pal, look at the fuckin league table and tell me how fuckin right you are!!! Im sure Fulham is on the brink of reaching the champions league, just 9 places away..And as for Everton my golly we are so close to relegation..15 places away from relegation..Well, fork u Tomasz!!

Radzinski aside, there's also the return of Pembridge and McBride..Both left the club on good terms and yes they didnt get any sticks from the Goodison crowds instead was applauded..Tomasz got heaps of sticks from the Goodison crowds throughout the game!! Job Well Done to the Evertonians who gave a shout at him!!

As for the game, it was a tough nut to crack as Fulham came in all defensive..(Reckon that they learnt that from watching too many cheap Liverpool VHS, VCD, DVD *Another reason why u shouldnt always buy the cheapest thing of the shelves*)

Everton kept coming, and finally we had to call in our Big Duncan to smash Fulham's lock..66th minute, An Everton corner taken by Gravesen, Kilbane heads the ball but only for Fulham's keeper to palm it away but Big Duncan reacted quickly and headed the rebound into the goal!! 1-0 Everton!!



I don't if most of you guys notice this but Everton have been scoring from set pieces..Hmmm..Moyes have been doing heaps of set pieces training i reckon... :D

Another week has passed..We are so near to relegation, i could piss in my pants if i'd see the table cos we are way too high..Oh well, i'd better get use to this!! ;P We shall not be moved from the top three!!

Everton 1 Fulham 0

The night Everton exploded into life

Enjoy this article..Got it from a supporters' site..

It's been ten years ago this week since Joe Royle made his emotional return to Goodison and a certain rangy Scottish striker became the new king of Goodison Park after an incredible derby win on a misty winters night. To set the scene, Everton were rock bottom going into November with Mike Walker's team looking clueless. After a dire goalless draw at Norwich, Peter Johnson used the ensuing international break to sack Walker and replace him with Royle. On a shoestring budget Royle had worked miracles with Oldham leading them into the top flight and now he had the opportunity to work some magic on the Blues.

Royle's first test was the derby at Goodison. With Roy Evans' team riding high, Everton were given no chance. However this was the night that Joe Royle's 'Dogs of War' were born. Royle had two weeks to work with his demoralised squad and he developed a system that employed three hard-running, hard-tackling midfielders in Barry Horne, Joe Parkinson and John Ebbrell to chase the opposition. He also had a highly-rated, but boredlooking target-man on loan from Rangers and a full-back with a deadly left foot called Andy Hinchcliffe.

On the night, the plan worked like a dream. The first half was suitably scrappy but it was soon apparent the Reds were struggling against the Blues powerhouse midfield. The game swung Evertons way when Hinchcliffe's booming corner was met by a bullet Duncan Ferguson header. It was the striker's first goal for Everton and a new hero was born. The goal knocked the stuffing out of Liverpool and just before the end Rideout scored the goal that took Everton off the bottom of the table. Goodison exploded and Joe Royle gave Evertonians their pride back. But no one could have predicted the eventual glory that season would bring.

O goodness so much to report..

First thing first, current level of debt, £42m. But this figure does not include the money raised from the sale of Wayne Rooney, nor a potential £12.8m cash injection from the Fortress Sports Fund. If Fortress Sports Fund deal does go through, Moyes will probably have £10m to spend come January..Debt? What debt? oh...that £42m? I have no idea..Te Chairman seem to forgot about that..I reckon it'll be covered through the Rooney sales though..

Second thing, Rangers manager Alex McLeish told BBC Radio Five Live there was no way Everton would be paid the full £500,000 for Michael Ball's 60 appearances clause. Oh well, it seem very likely that Michael Ball will be returning back to Goodison, since Rangers has yet to pay in full the £4m transfer of Ball to Rangers, like a century ago!! Ball is not too bad of a player..Would be delighted actually if Ball does come back to Everton..*fingers crossed*


PLEASE can all the rubbish about Everton being lucky this season finally be put to rest? Please can all the predictions of collapse and talk of luck and allegations and excuses be banished? And please, please, please can David Moyes and his players start getting the credit they deserve for one of the most remarkable stories of the season?

Everton manager Moyes has heard it all this campaign. His team are boring. Lucky. Too defensive. Their streak of form can not last. Wayne Rooney's departure will soon be felt. And most frustratingly - they do not deserve to be sitting with the big boys at the top end of the Premiership. Well what if the critics are all wrong about all these?

Laugh if you like but this is a team with a genuine chance of finding themselves in next season's Champions League. Eight wins from 13 games has put the Toffees well clear of Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle and those giants will have their work cut out to close the gap. Everton no longer have Roo-know-who to call on. Instead, our chief now is Danish midfielder Thomas Gravesen, whose energy and aggression condemned Birmingham to another miserable afternoon.

Gravesen turned out the lights on Steve Bruce's Birmingham, whose inability to score goals again cost them dear. His penalty dealt another home setback to the top flight's lowest-scoring side after Muzzy Izzet handled Lee Carsley's shot, earning himself a red card.


I'm sure if your a toffee, you'd remember what the Birmingham Chairman said about our bid for Lily Savage. We'll here's the reply that someone at BlueKipper came up with.

"We at Everton can now see that you were right when you basically humbled Everton Football Club during the summer as you described our bid for Robbie Savage as "pathetic and derisory ".You also added that Everton only bids for players that it knows cannot be signed.

We can see clearly the huge gulf that has emerged between the two clubs in recent times.Because of your vision and investment in what some might call the best talent around Birmingham City are a club on the move.

You are at present placed on the very edge of a Champions league place in fifteenth place in the premiership.You have gathered together a goal scoring footballing machine admired throughout the football world.

Everton on the other hand as you so wisely suggested are a club long gone past its sell by date.We languish in third place precariously dangling a mere seventeen points above the relegation zone.We were forced into the bargain bin of football transfers.We have had to make do with the likes of Cahill and Bent instead of the wonderful talents of Heskey,Melchiot and Gronkjaer.

We all now realise the man you are and the type of club you lead.You have shown us what can be acheived by the type of players that you signed in the summer.Many of these players were linked to Everton but as you so forcefully pointed out Everton could not afford them. Birmingham did sign these stars and now you are reaping the rewards.

The owners and management at Everton appear to act in a different way to Birmingham, especially regarding transfer dealings with other clubs. Keeping a dignified silence certainly would appear to be an avenue you would not favour.

It is obvious that a club like Everton with its long tradition of top flight football, its many league and cup successes, its long tradition for producing the most talented young players of signing the most promising talent is not a route you choose to follow. Rather it would appear that instead of letting your football do your talking for you, you have chosen to let your talking play your football for you."


Sweeet...

Birmingham 0 Everton 1

Here i am..Got back yesterday nite from Telstra Australia and was so tired..Didn't really bother to refresh the site to check the livescore of this game..Went to sleep instead and when i woke up about 3am, i just refresh the site and HEY WHAT DO U KNOW..WE WON!! WE actually win at Birmingham!! One of the most hostile grounds!! ooo..I was still sleepy but i was quite determined to read the match report at that vey moment..

This to be frank is not one of those game that we dominate..It was a fair battle although it must have been quite hard done to Birmingham as they came close a couple of times and would have really win this game if they have got better strikers then Heskey!!

This is a game that most Toffees would agree that we'd be happy with a draw..O well..


No, this red card is not for Tim Cahill (Don't ask me what was he up to), it was for Muzzy Izzet (the one turning back) as Izzet palmed away a goalbound shot from Lee Carsley and Everton was automatically awarded a penalty.


Thomas Gravesen was given the duty to take the shot from the spot and stepped up to coolly send Birmingham keeper Maik Taylor the wrong way with his 68th minute spot-kick.


Everton as usual always have this tendency at the dying moment to give us the fans some heart attack moments when Birmingham should have earned a draw in the closing seconds as Dwight Yorke missed Birmingham's best chance of the game from close range. Thank goodness it was Yorke and thank goodness it wasn't Heskey..If not i'd be laughing the whole week!!

Birmingham 0 Everton 1

Rally Australia Stage SS 18 & 19

Telstra Rally Australia..An event that i've been looking forward to since the announcement that it'll be held in November this year!!

Well, was suppose to go with Maye, Ken and one of their friend but unfortunately Ken and the other guy couldn't make it and Maye was no longer interested then and it left me with just me!!

Called Chriz, might come if she can finish her studies..Azah, can't make it as she got to go to her aunty's place..Denise, she is working as one of the organisers for this event (nope can't get any free tickets, and she got Petter Solberg's cap for free from Petter himself!!)

Okok..I seriously didn't know that so many of you out there is interested in going to the Rally..Cause when i got back home, i received heaps of messages on my MSN!! Oh well, ended up going there alone but Denise said it's better for me to come alone as she'll get me the crew pass and i can get into the Service Area!!!!!


Well, i got the AUD50 tickets..The McRae Grandstand..Honestly should have just went for the 20bucks seats..But oh well..




Mini Coopers!! Oooooo..Rally...Ooooooo..

Some of the highlight races was a Natural Aspirated 1.6 litre VolksWagen driven by Wang Rui(China Team) VS Turbo Charged Evo5 driven by Michael Kahfluss..Who did u think the win was? The winner came out to be the VW!! No kidding!! I reckon its probably the driver in the Evo5 lack of experience..Probably a newbie i reckon..But the China driver was supposingly the best from China and has won numerous wins in China Rally..It was simply sweeet seeing a VW leading an Evo5..Experience beats all..But of course the other VW (China team sent 2 cars) was well knocked out by Honda Civic!! Oh well..

Impreza RS a 2.5 litre car with no turbo installed versus a Turbo Charged Lancer EVO5..Impreza driven by Gleeney and Evo by Whaytt..Outcome: Impreza smashes the Evo!! I really can't express the feeling of watching the entire head to head battle..With the mufflers, sparks, crowds, dust, and atmosphere..Simply can't express this experience in words..No, im not lying about Evo5 loosing out in this 2 occassion ok!! And it just so happen that i remember the underdogs victories better.. Of course there's also the battle of Sebastian Loeb (The newly crowned WRC Champ) vs Rovanpera and many other big guns!! AUD50, well spent!! A night well lived..

Everything has its own tale..What's yours?

Here i am..4.30am and yes im still awake..I can't bloody sleep.. I tried and my mind kept thinking..And here its a 4am post regarding life..The miracle..The complexity..The beauty..and most of all the terror..

This might not be any big deal to most of you as we tend to take it for granted and live by the principal of, "Oh well..Life goes on.." Every one of us.. No, i should rephrase this.. Every single thing has its own tale..Regardless of it has life in it or not.. Remember those days when you are asked to write a tale about a pencil or a car or whatsoever..That's their tale.. Tales doesn't only apply to human, nor only any living creatures but it stretches to even simple iron rods..So..What's your little tale?

I have a tale of my own..(Ugh..DUH!!) From the day my parents decided to have a child..To the day i whisper my last breath..If i succeed in leaving an impact, my legacy will go on and my tale will be recorded and brought down to generations and hopefully this tale of mine, is something i can be proud of.. You see, how can i ever sleep with these thoughts flooding my mind?!

Im not about to write my tale at this moment of course..That'll be suicidal..I have my exams coming up beginning on Tuesday and i really shouldn't be so confident of myself and start to worry more and take the time i have studying..

I have no idea what am i suppose to look forward to?!!
i) To holidays which last for short periods..Wouldnt it be nice if it is eternity?
ii) Or should i look forward to going back to Malaysia? Yea..So what's the big deal? People come..People go..
iii) Or should i look forward to graduation? Uhh..huh..I'll end up either a cadet pilot or working in a firm..
iv) Or should i just look forward to earning my big bucks, my dream cars, my dream vacations and all those?? and then what happens after this?
v) Or should i look forward to being in political issues..Regardless of organisation politics or government politics..It's dirty..It's bitchy but i guess it gives me the thrill..This is the test for the survival of the fittest..Mind you, different people have different thrills and excitement..That's what makes us unique from one another..


Or should i just be stupid and greed them all? Or smarter by just being happy and take things simple and easy?

I don't really know..Nothing really suits me best..I guess im looking for something that is different..Where do i start with limited capital and resources in hand..Yea capital as in cash which im sure i can find my ways through it..Resources are more important..Reliable resources to work with and that is not going to be easy to find..Surprisingly i can only think of a few..And if your name is up here, but damn proud of yourself..I'd enlist Jeremy Goh, Andrew Kong, and Sayed Hafizh for now..

So, what's my plan? World domination? lol.. That's so 20th century!! o well..time to sleep..will continue with this shite some other time then..

Arsenal 3 Everton 1

I can't decide if I should feel massively depressed at having been well beaten by a bunch of reserves or should I try and put together a realistic view and try to make some sense of it all?

On paper this was an easy ride, a simple passage into the quarter finals and only a couple of games away from our first trip to Cardiff. However, it turned out to be anything but. Arsene Wenger must be sleeping soundly at night. If he has got this amount of talent in the reserves, then we can all pack up and go home.

I didn't expect the Reserves team to be so strong..Although they were the same players who crunch ManCity out of the competition, i thought it was just ManCity and that even my very own 'Dunlop Team/Waterboys Team' could smash ManC..

As you can see, im quite in the mood to blog rite now..Probably bcos it is 'study week' and i tend to make NO USE of it..It's been a culture, during study week, i never fail to start on Championship Manager again!!! ARGH!!! Here i am after wasting several hours on my new 'Bolton' team..goshh..

I guess blogging with the lights off, mp3 on and a few msn chat windows sets one of the best scene..Alrite, back to the game..


The game seem so promising for Everton as we took the lead as early as the 7th minute through a Tommy Gravesen's free kick!! At that moment i was saying to myself, 'Arsenal boys are not that tough cookie afterall'

Then it all started to turn sour in the 25th minute.. *notice i didnt mention anything about Edu's challenge* Anyway, Abeyie scored the first to equalise in the 25th minute and it was not all 1-way Arsenal..Everton had a couple of good chances but hats off for the Arsenal Reserves...


Then the second goal came in the 52nd minute where Lupoli smash home from 6 yards after brilliant play from Abeyie and Van Persie.. The third goal came in the 85th minute where Everton was being counter-attack and it was Lupoli's second of the game to knock Everton out of the MickeyMouse Cup..


The Arsenal first team might be in a struggling period but their reserves are certainly high-flying at the moment and with prospect of the new Emirates Stadium, Reserve team that could rub of a third place team, the future for Arsenal Football Club is certainly well planned and seem to be very promising indeed...

I salute to Arsenal Reserve team..We lost to a very hungry team..

Chelsea 1 Everton 0

Money can't buy everything. The battle between second and third in the Premiership was always going to tell us more about Everton than Chelsea and so it proved at Stamford Bridge.

You just needed to glance at the team sheet to realise that while this was a clash between two of the best three sides in the land on current form, it was more like a Journeyman XI against a Superstar XI. The likes of Leon Osman, Tony Hibbert and David Weir may not get into a Chelsea reserve side, but they earned the right to have a crack at opponents of this calibre and it didn't take long for then to show why they are becoming formidable opponents.

If Chelsea's billionaires had contemplated the thought that this was going to be an easy afternoon at the office, then Tim Cahill reminded them what they were up against after just three minutes. Piling in with three fearless challenges in the space of five seconds, the tone of their performance had been set for the afternoon and the roar that greeted his contribution from the Everton fans.



The first chance of the game fell Everton's way as Kevin Kilbane's brilliant cross picked out Cahill in the box and his header forced Petr Cech into a flying save. He really should have done better.

Had Arjen Robben's brilliant volley after 22 minutes dipped under the bar instead of clipping it via the hand of goalkeeper Nigel Martyn, their good early work could have been undone, but it doesn't take long understand why Everton find themselves in a lofty position at the top of the league.

Robben, Lampard and Eidur Gudjohnsen had chances to undo Everton's good work before the break, but they deserved the rousing ovation delivered by their travelling supporters as referee Mike Riley sounded the half-time whistle. The Everton fans used the interval to shout all kinds of advice to the media writing their match reports.

"We are playing about £200m of footballers here, but we have got something they will never match. You can't buy pride and passion."



It was more of the same after the break as Everton frustrated Chelsea and Alan Stubbs wasted a glorious chance to put Eveton ahead as he planted the header wide when unmarked in the box after 56 minutes. Chelsea were in need of a moment of magic and it duly arrived from Arjen Robben as he burst clear on the 72nd minute and converted brilliantly for what proved to be the winning goal.

Everton came close to snatching an equaliser as Marcus Bent's header flew over the bar with five minutes to go, but manager David Moyes was to be left with little more than pride after a battling display. 'That was a fantastic performance from my players,' he stated. 'If we had £12m to spare, I would go out and buy Arjen Robben, but when you can't buy from Armani, you have to buy from Marks and Spencers. That's what we have to do.

This result put Chelsea on top of the table after Arsenal have only manage to draw with Crystal Palace.

This match report was adapted and edited from Soccernet Insider.

Felt that it was way more worthy to post this up rather then me writing it this week..

Chelsea 1 Everton 0

Gutted..absolutely..

It seem to be a great Saturday ahead..Woke up about 1..Got ready and found my way to West Perth to do my group meeting..Thomas' house was absolutely brilliant!! Ideal for him and his girlfriend..Oh btw, Thomas is from Sweden..His apartment have this absolutely classy swimming pool (those that look like hotel swimming pools with those huge rock and etc) and the spa..ooo..and the bbq pit (typical oz), tennis court and etc..o well..

Finally finalised the report and so glad that we are done with this assignment..I went to the City alone to just walk around and get those little things that i kept forgetting..Hairband or Headband watever u call it!! Yes i use them when im trying to study!! (Notice the word 'TRYING') And also had a sudden craving for PepsiMax..Went around City, stupid shops mostly offer Coke..Finally found PepsiMax..ahhhh....Lovely..Nope im only a fan of PepsiMax and PepsiTwist not the original Pepsi..Too gassy..

Got back home at about 6+..Jus lay on my bed helplessly..Not wanting to move..Was surprised to find out that this friend of mine in UWA didnt know i was in Perth all these while!! MY GOsH!! esshhh.. Went to the KV Dinner with Charlene, Howard, Ronald, Kitt Yee, Yit Chuan and Kristin..As usual KV offers lousy food..haihh..Compared to what Erica offer..DISSAPOINTING!! O well..Didnt do much there probably because there isnt much to do there..The highlight was probably when all the residents are gathered around the BBQ Pit and when suddenly the sprinkler started to spray water..Yeap, water sprinkling all over, ppl running around..o well..

Came back home..And Azah told me that she cant bloody go to VicPark tonite for the Everton game..Dont know and DONT WANT TO KNOW WHATS THE STUPID REASON!! I was so Happy that i could watch the game but end up dissapointed..Real setback..

My HIGHLIGHT of the day was CHELSEA VS EVERTON LIVE!! Number 2 of the table VERUS Number 3 of the table..And there she go, just wiped my day away..I told her about this like on WEDNESDAY!! And just hours before it and she came to me and tell me that she cant make it bcos she's going Vic Park for Dinner first..Wat has it got to do with it? I dont know, dont want to know..What the fcuk man..I wont force others..fine nvm..But dont expect me to be consistent in helping as well..If it come to other issues, i dont mind..BUT when it come to EVERTON LIVE GAME!! I dont take any tolerance!! I dont mind about other things.. But u should know how much EVerton meant to me!!! If it isnt important i wouldnt even mention to u in advance!!!!!!!!!! Im absolutely gutted when she just happily push me aside!! So dissapointed with her as a friend..Am i asking too much here? If it wasnt important i wouldnt even mention in advance!! I used to believe that in Perth, i have a few friends who are reliable and they are, Eileen, Denise, Azah(well used to), Thomas, and Jun Wei..Well yes theres still quite a number who is unclassified cos have never really expect much from them YET..Ahahah...No Jem, ur not in the unclassified list..Ur in the drunk list, 'dont expect much' list..lol!! :P

Well, thought of buzzing others..But really dont want to do that cos i really dont want it to seem that im only calling them when i need them..Well, I have to settle to watching the game in the Common Room then..Well an least the first half..The atmosphere in the common room was great..Just a handful of us but it was good fun..Watched the first half and was extremely happy to watch it even though Everton seen defending most of the time..But come 12 oclock, the Common is closed..O well...Andy, Justin, Ronald and myself thought of going over to Waterford's Sports Bar and hope they are showing it..Went over there, the SPORTS BAR IS CLOSED!! Check the watch and the short pointer points at 12 and the long one points at 2..Hmm..i wonder what time it is..12.10 in the afternoon? NOOOOOOO!!! ITS 12.10 am and the BLOODY SPORTS BAR IS CLOSED!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM!! SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, here i am..Right in front of my laptop, letting out my anger on words and the keyboard..Getting live score from the internet..refreshing my browser every 2 minutes for updates..So sad, if only i was back home in Msia..I'd be with the bunch of toffeemen in our clubhouse watching the game.. :(

Gutted...ABSOLUTELY GUTTED...

Well, Melbourne is now 3 hours ahead and live soccer is now 1 hour later from the usual time..Hmm..Hey!! IT IS BLOODY AFFECTING ME OK!! This coming weekend is the Chelsea vs Everton game and its going to start at 11pm which means...I'd either watch it somewhere in the city OR just watch the first half of the game in the common room..grrr...

Have got this pic of the so called, 'Skyline R35'!! Let's hope this is for real and no another Nissan's concept car! For goodness sake, bloody decide on the outlook!!

No offence to my muslim friends but i found these pictures at other's blog..it's kinda funny but weird, as in why must they exactly face that shop..I do understand that they have to pray according to certain direction but why dont they walk another block and do the prayers there..my golly..





Wouldn't it be nice visiting the USA one day, with the nice cars, gorgeous (ABCs ;P) girls and golden beaches. Well, there's something that you've not bargained for, if you're thinking of visiting California, USA. The California Highway Patrol have a new addition to their squad car line up in the form of an R33 Skyline GTR! Gone are the days where the American police cars crash into each other at every available opportunity. They're going to chase after the lights of Supras and co. Holly shite!! Imagine having our very own police force driving the skyline..


Fast and Furious 3 will have to have these Skylines chasing after the streetracers..

Everton 1 Aston Villa 1

"United defeated Arsenal but then lost their next game at Portsmouth, and so you've got sides like Everton up there... deservedly so. They are hard to beat and we had to come here to set our stall out." Lee Hendrie after surviving the Everton attacks.

This is one of the quotes that was made after the game and quite frankly, the Villa players were quick to praise Everton. It was a game that Everton lost 2 points and Villa luckily walked away with a point. The game was well dominated by Everton. Even though Aston Villa got the lead first in the 26th minute through Lee Hendrie from a long range strike.

When Everton found themself one down, it was entirely all Everton there after. The Villains were bombarded and an equalise was not long when Marcus Bent struck the goal in te 32nd minute.




Everton probably had an least 5 clear chances to take the lead. Stubbs header was cleared off the line, Bent was denied by the post once and another was when he cleverly chipped the goalkeeper only for the ball to just miss by inches..Weir having a shot from the edge of the box and misses the goal narrowly..And the closest one was when Osman's shot came back off the inside of the post..It's certainly 'One of those days'


Everton certainly did more then enough to win this game and it certainly is a case of Everton lost 2 points.
