Kaka!!!! =)

Athens robbery! The magical nights in Athens Stadium. What a real heartbroken for the Liverpool’s fans. Without a shadow of doubt the game is on; as exhilarating and intense with full of suspense though isn’t as thrilling as 2 years back in Istanbul. It’s also a night to be remembered by whole Milan fans around the world (including me). =) They won the Champions League of 2007 and I would say they are worthy champions in that match. Upon finished watching the premier of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 at 12am; the match started just nice on time when I reached home at 2.45am. Talking about the ‘2 hours and somewhere 45 minutes’ movie, I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The show is okay but I felt the 2nd sequel will be much more interesting. The third was much more focused on the ending of the story; a lot of verbal conversation rather than action-thriller packed scenes. The plot should be fine though there are few parts where mystical and fantasy things took place such as Calypso being enlarged after her soul’s released by the 4th Brethen Court and Will Turner turning into undead without a heart. That Calypso part reminds me of Lina using Black King Bar. Hehe! I would suggest movie-goers to actually watch the first and second sequel before stepping foot into the cinema for this movie to grasp what the whole storyline is about. The conclusion is that this show is worth watching, go for it!

Back to the main point, AC Milan vs Liverpool match at Istanbul. AC Milan won the finals by 2-1 thanks to a brace by Filippo Inzaghi with the assist of Kaka. First half is all for Liverpool to kill the game but they squandered numerous golden opportunity. These chances don’t come twice and because of that, they were punished by Milan late in the first half through Kaka’s intelligence, a brilliant free kick by Pirlo and not to forget Inzaghi’s position that close the curtain for first half. For that goal, I would rather say Milan got it through luck; real fluke chance. The set up was brilliant by Kaka, real smart to trick Alonso to foul him just right outside the penalty box. Let us take a look at Liverpool’s side for the first half. They dominated that half but just couldn’t find the net. Pennant playing at the right was effective; having pace and drive but what was lacking is his intelligence, experience and most importantly, finishing. The right flank was totally exploited by Liverpool. On the left side, we have Stevie G commanding that particular area which I think wasn’t a good move by Rafa Benitez. Stevie G’s most preferable area is at the heart of midfield and not the flank. The flank should have been played by speedy players such as Bellamy. Milan’s centre-back was lacking a lot of speed and pace at that moment and if Liverpool made full use of that advantage, they could have been at least 2-nil up. It is a great display by Nesta and Maldini to stop those dangerous threats by Liverpool’s midfiled. Kuyt as a solo striker doesn’t function well in that game. He didn’t get much chances to be inside the penalty box to strike. At the defense, Mascherano was superb in closing down the threats by Kaka. That leaves almost no space for Kaka to exploit. Liverpool should have known that the key of their victory is to stop this one man, Kaka. Carragher and Agger were hardworking in stopping Milan’s flank which proved quite effective. Midfield was quite balance for both sides; Alonso and Zenden pushing Seedorf and Pirlo back to their own half. Gattuso wasn’t that effective compare to the semi’s against Man Utd; keeping Christiano Ronaldo at the bay. In the end, luck wasn’t at Liverpool’s side and so, Milan stole an important goal lead in the first half.

Coming into the second half is the most vital part of the game. Both teams started of good but as Milan is leading by a goal, Liverpool was more on the attack. As the game went on, Liverpool almost seemed to be scoring a goal through Gerrard and Alonso’s strike but they missed them. Late in the second half, Rafa made a gamble by replacing Mascherano with Peter Crouch to add more bites to the attack. This will be the biggest mistake made by him. Taking of Kaka’s marksman will give him even more space to explore when Milan’s on the attack. Once more, this man’s brilliant sight in putting a superb through pass to Inzaghi; beating the offside trap and Inzaghi overpowered Reina to slot home the second goal. By then, Liverpool’s defense was caught sleeping on the pitch and seemingly lethargic. That goal couldn’t have happened if the defense ran down to the goal line and cleared the ball off. If you look through the replay, Inzaghi’s second goal strike has very less power and momentum; the ball just rolled into the net. Where was the speedy defense of Liverpool at that decisive moment? I’ll just have to say that the night belongs to AC Milan. In my point of view, another tactic that Rafa made that lead to the downfall of Liverpool’s game is that above all substitutes, he chose to put Kewell instead of Bellamy. Kewell has been out for months due to injuries and totally wasn’t match fit. At least Bellamy was outstanding when he played in a couple of Champions League match, e.g. against Barcelona. Remember the 2nd leg match between Man Utd against AC Milan? Man Utd paid the price of putting the unfit Nemanja Vidic at the centre of defense which let Kaka to strike a powerful goal sending Van Der Sar to the wrong way. That game was understandable because they do not have any more quality players to fill in the defenses due to injuries. At this very high tempo and vital match, it’s very important for a team to have all match fit and experience players. A wrong move or tactic without luck will just end up losing. Liverpool got the only consolation goal late in the 2nd half through Kuyt’s header and that’s the only time Kuyt ever get into the penalty box to strike. Upon Kuyt’s goal, I thought this night will be another remarkable comeback for Liverpool to repeat the 2005’s final feat but it all ended when the whistle was blown by the referee.
Overview, Liverpool is much more of hardworking on the pitch where as AC Milan’s smart in every move that they take. What makes Milan worthy winners is that they have a bunch of very quality and experience individual players such as Kaka, Inzaghi, Nesta and Gattuso compare to Liverpool. Above all, the managers’ tactics and decision wins the game. Ancelotti outsmarted Rafa that night besides depending on luck. As a fan of Kaka, I can’t helped but to say this man makes the biggest difference of all in spearheading Milan to the final and thus, winning the most lucrative football competition in Europe. Hola! =p

Moral of the story : Intelligence plays a vital role in a person's life. Hardworking alone isn't enough. Sometimes luck does matter. Use them (combination) wisely and u'll be successful in life! =)

Tv series???

“Start the day with love,
Fill the day with love,
Spend the day with love,
End the day with love,
This is the way to happiness!”

Holiday sure is fun. You get a lot of rest; sleeping about 11pm and waking up by 10am the very next morning and on top of that, boredom. Yeah! Most importantly, I get to lay on my wonderful bed for 2 months before surrendering to the hostel ones which sucks because of thin layer. As often I will be awakened by my mama’s thunderous voice boomed outside my bedroom door and in a minute, here I am up on my feet. Relinquishing the obligation as a son, I accompany her most of the mornings to where else if not market. Haha! How many guys actually do accompany their parents there? You learn a lot actually, especially in getting the rough ideas of how much certain vegetable will cost you, apart from the pungent cum foul aroma surrounding that area which most people dislike that can make you puke upon hitting your dear nostrils. Apart from that, entering the end of 4th week of the holiday out of the 2 months break, that’s surely a long period of time but hey, I couldn’t find any job though because employers don’t hire people for a month even its part time. Actually I can, provided I ‘bluff’ them during interview which I m not truly good at it. Hehe! Sinful right; but its becoming a norm amongst the society, especially part-timers in big shopping complexes. I am sure employers there already expected for this to happen.

And so, how did I manage to fill up my time in the past 4 weeks? Well, apart from the Genting trip (Unitenmates), KL trip (Ipoh Heng Tai) and few ‘yum-chas’, all I did most of the time was staying put at home and be a nice boy. Hehe! Apart from doing household chores, I spend most of the time watching TV like a potato couch and not to forget my dear computer which music blared from those funky 8 years old speaker. Believe it or not, I am really gaining weights throughout this period of time, momentarily. [This reminds me of the genting trip. If you weigh over then 70kg, you will be barred from playing the ‘Super Toboggan’ at Genting. By the way, that game wasn’t exciting at all as I couldn’t feel the excitement compared to few years back then. Alfred, lucky you that the attendees actually allow you to play. Is it because of desperate facial expression of yours or out of pity? Joking bro! =p ] Am I fat? Well, things are always unpredictable isn’t it; as life is. One fine afternoon, you will feel blazing heat from the sun and after a couple of hours later, you will see sky darkened with wind shrieked and howled. Of course, unstoppable downpour will start and sometimes you might even find thunderstorm wreaking a havoc atmosphere. That’s life…..always UNPREDICTABLE!!! Agree? Think about it and read between the lines…..

Back to the series, I found that I always get deviate easily from my thoughts. What I am about to share is the several TV series that I find them interesting though some might assume those shows are ‘parias’ which literally means low class series because Astro or those that can receive other TV channel from overseas offer a myriad of better and latest TV series. Hehe! You might never know you are on of them. =P

Weekdays Series :

10am – TV2 Chinese series (title unknown but its at this hour) (China& local show mix)
2pm – NTV7 Falling in Love (repeated)
5pm – 8TV Portrait of Home 2
6pm – 8TV Taiwan Ah Cheng (Hokkien)

8.30pm - 8TV Central Affairs 2 & news
9.00pm – Love in Heaven (TV2 Korean – Mon till Wed)
9.30pm – Phoenix from the Ashes/Man of the house (NTV7)

Somewhere in between those time,I'll just prefer to lay on my bed and have a very good rest. During the weekends, I also watch shows like Guess Guess Guess (8TV Sun night), Sky (8TV 7.30pm Sun), some other movie and the list goes on. Certain shows really, deeply attracted my interest. Let me see, shows on TV2 at 10am revolve more on current happenings such as home problem, social problems, and love matters. ‘Falling in Love’ is also interesting especially characters like Herman will bring exposure to viewers that have alike personality. It’s also portraying current love affairs amongst youngsters or adolescence. Nevertheless, the rest are also almost alike; its just that the diversity of the plot that makes big differences. I kind of like this Korean series called ‘Love in Heaven’. Touching, romantic, exhilarating and whatsoever feelings, you name it upon watching this series. How I wish my future wife will be alike that main female actress in personality wise and overall. Hehe!

MAMA's dAy...

Entering 4th week...

This is da 3rd week of my break. Basically reli doin nuthin. Normal routine. Eat sleep besides playing futsal n yumcha. No work. Wat to do? Leong tei kun only la. Swt. Boredom world. Luckily before i left my uni,i downloaded few tvb dramas and anime. Currently, i just finished watching Trinity Blood. Reli nice anime but the ending was pretty bad. Too drastic. But overall,i will rate it 4 out of 5 star for da story line. Hehe. I never knew there's such thing called krusnik, 'a vampire that sucks vampire's blood'. Dunno whether its a legacy, myth or fantasy. But hu cares,its interesting. =p

Recently,i found reality tv show is getting hotter n very popular amongst msia citizen. Since the introduction of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' few years back, its drawing lotsa ppl's attention. Likewise, there is this Malaysia Idol, One in a Million, Superstar, So you think you can Dance and da latest Deal or no Deal in our local television broadcast. Talentime shows are ever growing and exhilarating with different concept and ideas by da producers. Dance,singing,luck,strategy or watsoever is getting lotsa good response. One thing is for sure, the telecommunication company which handles the vote for all those competition is getting very rich indeed. Not to exclude the organiser itself. I see ppl voting around for their favourite contestants in those competition. Imagine, lets say 50 cents per sms,how many votes do u think they will gain throughout the competition? Billions? The amount might reach to an infinite number. Do those ppl who are willing to vote reli get something out of those vote? Think about it. The point is, ppl nowadays are getting smarter in earning money. What a brilliant concept to earn big bucks through this competition but hey,its legal right? No forcing done and its da people's own will to vote in those competition.

I m kinda running out of time rite now. Maybe will write more bout that later on. At home got no internet. Sigh! So havta blog at da nearest cybercafe to my hse. Wats life without internet? I m too stick to it adi. Hehe.
