Yes, yes, yes... it's been a long while since i've been writing here. Shoot me for being absolutely busy these past few days / weeks. You could probably be able to gauge how busy i am by the frequency of my entries here, i.e. the less frequent i write, the more busy i am, and the more frequent i write, the more time i have to waste and surf the net and do all sorts of other time wasting stuff. Actually today, i *should* have not been able to spend time writing, but since someone decided to FFK me for dinner (luckily she told me *before* i left and also *before* i arrived and have waited for 1/2 an hour twiddling my thumbs and all), so suddenly i have a while to gather my thoughts at the end of the day and also some time to write.
Was reading this particular review of the Fiat Panda by none other that Jeremy Clarkson the other day in the Cars Bikes and Trucks, (actually i think it was like 2 weeks ago, yeah yeah yeah... i am a little behind the times), and he kinda gave out a remark that i particularly find a tad bit annoying, to quote him..
"..Perodua Kelisa, a car built in a jungle clearing by people who go to work in shoes made from leaves.."
.. i mean, i don't mind him dissing the car since it's his views on the car and all, but dissing the people that actually make it, i mean, come on! Dear Mr Clakson, we in Malaysia do NOT go to work in shoes made from leaves or any other part of the tree, thank you very much. I guess this statement of his just shows how ignorant some people can be of all the third world nations, and it did make me lose a wee bit of my respect of him and his writings. However, as i have been reading his writings and watching his shows all along before this, i somewhat am not surprised that he actually came out with some remark like this. He probably meant it as a joke (albeit a bad one), but still, i do find it a bit insensitive.
And yes, we have been dumped out of the FA Cup by a team playing with 14 of their first team players out injured. I actually didn't watch the game as i was actually working on Sunday night (*gasp*). At first i felt a bit pissed off because of that, but after knowing the results the next morning, i thought that working that night was a blessing in disguise, since if i did work, i would have watched the match, and would have felt shitty the whole of the next day after spending 90 minutes of my time watching even more passion-less attempts at playing football.
I still fail to comprehend how on earth they let Owen take the penalty that night. I mean, Houllier was quoted as saying something in the line of "You miss one or two, that happens", or some shite like that. Yes, i agree, but that saying does NOT apply when someone's successful penalty-scoring ratio is somewhere in the range of 1 conversion out of 10. I mean, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Micheal Owen CANNOT, i repeat CANNOT take penalties, right?! ... RIGHT? Ever since the loss, there has been a lot of talk around about the board and all sacking Houllier soon. I mean, come on. You know as well as I do that will not in a million years happen, and the board will at least wait until the end of the season to give him the CHOP.
Actually the state of the team doesn't really seem that encouraging. Houllier seems to have lost the plot (since TWO years ago, some people seem to say) and has lost control, belief, respect of his players, our main goal scoring threat looks set to leave this summer (although sometimes i feel like i might be glad he leaves) and the person who is supposedly coming in during the summer seems be hoping to unsettle the opposition defenders with laughter by dying his beard blonde, or some other dodgy color, Kewell looks like he has lost his touch and seems uninterested, leTallec and Ponggolle seems to be suffering from burn out of too heavy expectations been put on their shoulders, all the other players (with the exception of le Kapitan and Carragher) seems so goddamn de-motivated and just can't be arsed to be playing. I mean, what else can happen that can make it worse? I mean, it's not as if the Prime Minister of Thailand might be buying us over right? Right? .... RIGHT?!!
Later.
