Yu Jing : Yes yes, Giggs saved the day.. Lol Thank god he scored. My heart would've missed a few more beats if he didn't.

Jing Xiu: Chelsea? What Chelsea? Boooooo... Haha that's for saying it to my face when Chelsea was lucky to beat Man U.

And to all the United fans out there, we always take the hardest route out, but what's important is that we prevail as CHAMPIONS at the end of it all. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!

My One & Only High School

Sri KL, the high school I practically grew up in, is considerably one of the best private schools in Malaysia because of the vast amount of facilities and qualified teachers. I'm quite sure this isn't a biased judgement just because I was a student there but it definitely is on the same level as the likes of Sri KDU and Sri Cempaka (which includes the ridiculous fees as well). Hmm..come to think of it, i was there for 12 out of 17 years of my life which translates to about 3/4s of my life. That's a long time uh?


It won't be wrong to say that Sri KL (it should be changed to Sri SJ coz it's no longer in KL) changed my life and I'm quite sure it was for the better with all the knowledge and interesting people I got to know. These people ranged from the 'canteen auntie' in primary school who always gave me the biggest drumstick for my nasi lemak to my classmate in Standard 6 who was known as and looked really like a Mad Scientist. Do tell me if any of you guys remember who he is. Lol.

Since I'm already at this topic, why don't I share with you guys one of the 'fond' memories I had over at Sri KL. It all started when Colin and I were playing truant with the excuse of helping out with the preparations for Sports Day. If I remember correctly, it was at about 11 in the morning and the principal was making his routinely rounds around the school to make sure everything was in order. Coincidentally, Colin and I were in a classroom 2 corridors away and we happened to notice him walking towards our direction. Seeing that we were playing truant and had no excuse to do so, we had to decide whether to take our chances and remain where we were or flee from the classroom.


We were quite sure that we couldn't prove that we weren't playing truant if he were to interrogate us so we decided to run to a nearby classroom. As we were running out, I was quite sure he caught a glimpse of us but we still decided to hide behind the piano of an empty music room. We were playing the game of hide-and-seek that we were so fond of during our primary days, but this time we were playing it with the principal of our school and the odds were against us. We knew our luck ran out when we heard the door creaking open and the room that was once dark lit up as sunlight came through the open space. Our principal walked in and headed straight to the back of the piano and all I could say was " Hi Mr Chew (my principal's name) ". I wonder how stupid I sounded.


As always, there are always 2 sides to every story and Sri KL wasn't just all fun and good experiences. I remember how I used to enjoy the roti canai that they served but hated the deep-fried ''prawns'' which was mostly if not all flour. And of course, what's a school without the teachers? I enjoyed learning History with Ms Kamala being my teacher but hated how my Physics teacher explained things like " Gamma ray is a ray ". Seriously, how does that answer my question of what gamma ray is. I also enjoyed playing football during recess but hated how I had to skip my lunch.


Like all the other high schools, Sri KL aims to educate young minds hoping that they would one day be able to use their high school qualifications to enter college and go on to finding a good job. Below is an example of what a Sri KL graduate looks like. :)

Just for laughs. Rachel took a picture of a gardener who was wearing the Sri KL uniform.
Wonder where he got it from.

What Do You Think?

A very good morning I bid to the honorable judges, accurate timekeeper and my worthy opponents. Today, I stand before you to defend the very fact that blogging is something that I enjoy doing. Mm, I know I know, that's how an introduction of a speaker in a debate competition sounds like and isn't anything like what I'm doing here, blogging.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but at times when I read blogs, it seems as though the writer is trying to prove his/her point making it really similar to a debate competition. The only ingredient missing is the 'accurate' timekeeper coz you'll definitely have people disagreeing with you(worthy opponents) and judging whatever you wrote (honorable judges). No?


After a few years of blog hopping, I have come to realize that blogging, which is a lot like the word 'love', has many different meanings varying on a person to person basis. Some people view blogs as their diaries, writing about their rather interesting/boring daily activities so that their readers would know what they've been doing without being anywhere near them.

Mind you, I've got nothing against these blogs, I just think of it as technology playing its part and making it more convenient for people to type rather than write in their book-like diaries. I guess it's also a way of keeping track of what you've done and letting you look back on your posts written knowing what you did that on that very day, let's say 5 years ago. Good way of reminiscing uh?


Well, there are also those blogs that contain 90% pictures and 10% captions, making it rather similar to the 'daily activities ' blog. I'm guessing that those writers really believe in the theory that 'a picture can paint a thousand words'. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy reading those kind of blogs coz it's so much easier to look at pictures rather than to read about their daily activities. And yes, it's also great that I get to stay updated on the lives of people I rarely talk to but still care about through those pictures.

I don't know which category my blog falls under, but whatever it is, I think that blogging's probably quite beneficial for everyone coz you don't have to keep all your thoughts to yourself no matter how silly or random it may be. So if you don't have one, why not click that 'create blog' link at the top and you'll know what I mean. :)


RANDOM: This morning as I was taking my shower ( where I get most of my random thoughts ), I was wondering " how did doughnuts get its name? ".. I mean, I understand the dough part, but most of the doughnuts nowadays have no nuts. Just to reward my curiosity, I googled it and thought I'd share my curiosity with you guys. Some said that it was because the dough was twisted into knots, hence "dough-knots". The other theory was more convincing though, saying that the nuts were placed in the middle of the dough so that it would cook evenly. Interesting uh how people tend to come up with their own weird theories just to gain recognition.

Those Imperfections...

Haven’t you ever talked bad about someone only to realise that you too have done that same mistake or possess the same bad habit? It has always been quite puzzling and bizarre how people are blinded by the general judgements of someone that they have failed to even spare second thoughts for him/her. It may even be right to regard the general society of people as having the ‘herd’ mentality because of how much importance we place in what other people do instead of let’s say setting a trend ourselves. What I probably meant when I used the word ‘herd’ was that people think in terms of the society that they are in, lacking the much needed individuality.

Notice how people have always used either ‘half full’ or ‘half empty’ to describe, let’s say a glass of milk. Humans, as we are subjective and opinionated, always like to see things the way we want it to be instead of taking the effort and coming up with the right answers to the questions in life. It’s like trying to imagine something while you’re blindfolded or learning without understanding, you just can’t be bothered taking those extra steps to reach what’s within your grasps.

Don’t you remember that one time when you asked yourself “ What would have happened if I did this? ‘’. Did you regret your decision because you were too afraid to make that step forward? I too, looked back on my decisions a couple of times, trying hard to fill those voids left by the ‘what if’s hoping with a flick of my non-existent magic wand I could just turn back time. Would I have done things differently? Yes. Can I do anything to turn those bad decisions into what was desired before? No.

We, as flawed as we have always been, also tend to do or say things we never intended to do only to realise it a little too late that what we should have done was indeed the right thing to do. Why did you have to apologise when you weren’t the one making the mistake? Why did you have to say yes to that very favour even though you clearly didn’t want to do it? Really, it’s just within us to do something we never wanted to do in the first place. Well of course, from a different perspective, this can be a good thing, people who are merely creatures of habit doing something different for a change. As the old saying goes, old habits die hard.

What I’m getting to is the point that we, as humans, will never be perfect, and will always have these flaws within us. It’s only a matter of whether we show what’s really in our nature or try really hard to find a cure to these flaws hoping it might be within our grasps someday.

The question is “Did you do something out of the ordinary today?”.

Virginity? What Virginity?

Hey guys,
Was the title eye-catching enough? :) Lol. Some of you might be thinking what I'll be going on to talk about.. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you but this post has absolutely nothing to do with my first time having sex or anything of that sort. And even if i did ( have sex ), I wouldn't be announcing it on my blog right? Anyway, back to the reason why I'm writing this post.. Imagine yourself having a day off from university, school or work, what would you do? Would you take a stroll in the park, visit the nearest shopping mall or just laze in bed the whole day reading the newspapers? This is what I did. Let's add a bit of suspense and mystery.. Slowly scroll down and in that time guess what Jeremy would have done.. (:

TA-DAH!

Haha yes, Jeremy baked brownies. I'm sure some of you might go " How gay is that? " or " OMG Jeremy baked! " It should be either one of those responses :) The brownies turned out alright.. Edible to say the least. I don't wanna judge what I baked coz it'll be a biased judgement. Special thanks goes out to Rachel who gave me her recipe for the orgasmic brownies that she makes. So this is what I did on a Monday afternoon, what did you do?

There goes my baking virginity :P

Reasons Why Chelsea,Arsenal and Liverpool Can't Win the EPL

As you can see, the team that's missing from the title of my post is none other than Manchester United. Oh yes, the team that's at the top of the EPL table and in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Or would you rather support the trophyless Arsenal, one-tournament-team Liverpool or the money dependant Chelsea? Seriously, Manchester United is at the top of their game and I can see nothing going wrong for them this season.

Anyway, back to the title of my post. 10 Reasons EACH Why Chelsea,Arsenal and Liverpool Can't Win the EPL. Let's take a look at what's stopping Chelsea from winning the EPL.

Chelsea - Reason No.1

You will always fail as a manager to motivate your team if you have a face like that.

Reason No. 2
Frank Lampard can and will only score deflected goals. If you didn't notice, most of the 'important' goals he has scored would have either hit a defender or his own teammate before it goes into the back of the net. All hail the King of Deflected Goals!

Reason No. 3
When MOST of your players are paid such obscenely high wages, they tend to be less commited to the team preferring to just sit their ass on the bench and STILL earn lots of money. That's what you get when you buy players like Shevchenko and Ballack.

Reason No. 4
Of all the left-backs to buy, they bought an Arsenal player. Having an ex-Arsenal player in your defensive line would mean him conceding goals whenever possible giving Arsenal a better chance to win the league. That's why you don't see Manchester United buying Chelsea and Arsenal players, it's just stupid.

Reason No. 5
How can you perform well when the owner, someone linked to the Russian Mafia, is watching every game? Can you imagine the pressure? I think he tells them something like " If you don't score today, i will KILL you. " I won't be surprised if tomorrow's headlines read " Drogba and Lampard Gunned Down ".

To start off on the reasons why Arsenal wouldn't, woops i mean CAN'T win the title this season, I read a joke on the internet the other day and thought I'd share it with you guys.

Q: What do Arsenal fans do after Arsenal wins the Champions League?
A: They put away their playstations. :)

Back to the topic...

Arsenal - Reason No. 1
Arsenal, like Chelsea bought a defender from the rival team ( refer to Chelsea-Reason 4 ), thus making them more vulnerable to conceding goals. William Gallas, the hero for Manchester United last night, conceded a penalty for hand ball therefore handing the title to United on a silver platter. Like I said, it's just not right to buy players from your rivals.

Reason No. 2
Many people have said that selling Thierry Henry was the reason behind Arsenal's success this season. But what success is there when there's no silverware in their cabinet? Seriously, you don't increase your chances of winning by selling one of the best strikers in the world. I'm sure United learnt from their mistake when they sold Nistelrooy.

Reason No. 3
Arsenal's goalkeepers are like housewives comparing their diamond rings, the 2 of them cannot stop dissing one another for their own benefits. Jens Lehmann thinks he's the better goalkeeper because he plays for Germany whereas Almunia's not happy with his No.2 position in Arsenal's team. How can you be playing for the same team and not see eye to eye?

As for Liverpool, I don't think I can come up with many reasons why they can't win the EPL. They've got quality players in Torres, Carragher and Gerrard. What I'm sure everyone notices is that they only try to win one competition every season, and it's not the EPL. All they play for every season in the EPL is the 4th place so they can qualify for their one-and-only Champions League competition and place all their focus on it.

So there you have it.. What I'm hoping now is Manchester United will win the EPL at Stamford Bridge and rub it into Abramovich's Cash Rich Chelsea's face. GO UNITED! :)

An interesting banner I saw during a match.

Malaysian Politics

One of the reasons why I like reading news on Malaysian Politics.

This was Mahathir's response to questions on Abdullah Badawi.


On how Abdullah should listen to the grassroots

He should go down to the ground and ask our supporters: “What is wrong with me? I’m trying to improve. If you don’t like my son-in-law, then I’ll find a new one”.

On whether he regrets appointing Abdullah as his successor

At this point of time, I regret. When I appointed him. He was ‘Mr Clean’. He bathes 15 times a day. At the time I didn’t know that he would do all these things [...] I didn’t know that when I ‘hand over’, it became his. Umno now belongs to him and his family.


Moral of the story : Choose the right person to be your son-in-law. He may be the reason why everyone hates you.
