I am typing this from I n d o n. It’s 8.47am here which is basically an hour earlier than M’sia. Sbb tu by the time pukul 6.15am, terang benderang dah kat sini. Boring sungguh! Nampaknye harini aku akan mengukur jarak shopping malls lagi.

I dunno how to go to other places or shud I say I have ‘doubt’ travelling alone to other part of shopping haven here. I dun feel secure to be honest. Bukan la sumer yg ade ni nampak mcm p e n j a h a t.

I was in the bunk by 9.30pm (indon thime). Tu pon mase the 1st day I arrived here, coz I wanted to check out the place I have to go the next day. Lain2 hari by 6pm I was in the hotel. No, I haven’t been to this part of Indon b4. The place was fully guarded and each time u wanted to enter to any of the entrance, they’ll have ur bag checked using metal detactor. Merasa mcm dlm movie.

Even mase nak checked in to the hotel, the Merc which took me to the hotel was asked to stop b4 the guard and they have mirrored the engine and everything. Mase tu baru rase seram. Imagine if the pick up service guy mmg ade niat tak baik. Baru la tang tu aku terpikir!

Although it’s fully guarded, walking all the way to the place is somehow adventurous. You’ll see all kinds of people. Just next to the hotel, is a construnction site. Imagine walking alone passed those construction workers. Haaa.. I did dat the first day I arrived here. Lepas Maghrib. Sumer memandang aku dengan penuh perasaan. Aku pon jalan dengan gagahnye, buat dek jek. Dalam hati ni segala ayat aku baca.

Somehow, each day I’ll pass by these people in the morning. Tak la menakutkan sangat. I think they knew I am not local. Sebab tu tiap2 hari ade seorang makcik duduk di tepi kaki lima menjual air teh panas, will asked me if I like some tea. Local made katenye. I just smiled and walked past her.

I wonder from what time she sat on the kaki lima. Most of the construction workers bought drinks and perhaps some kuehs from her. I dun think she stayed here in Jakarta. From her eyes, u cud see how tough life is for her. Kalau kat M’sia mungkin org2 mcm ni dah merempat agaknye. Tp org2 they all kat sini akan sanggup buat apa saje utk hidup.

They even waited for cars yg tgh carik parking and show them if any parking space available. Lucky day they’ll get RP 1000 per car which is equivalent to 40sen M’sia. Do u know how much does it cost to buy a decent nasi campur and a drink in shopping mall? I dunno. I was queuing to buy gado2 when a guy behind me asked for soto and a drink. And it cost him RP30K. Around RM12. Gile ape makan soto and air teh RM12?

Ni org miskin nak makan ape? I was unhappy to hear that. Even my gado2 plus drink cost something like that. Tu pon nasib la 0r@cle Indon bayar. Kesian la. Kesian. I think kat M’sia, Sogo tu u can still have drinks and soto for less than RM8. Dan org kite, yg sibuk merempit sane sini, yg meragut beg tangan org kate they dun have work, yg sibuk go to str8 to demand this and that. Datang la sini. Tgk sendirik ngan mata kepala ko.

Selalu if I have to travel to Indon tak de la lama mcm ni. Sbb tu selama ni tak la nampak sumer ni. Now that I am here for 10 days mmg terasa la.

Ok la, enuff about Indon. MU will only play their next match on Monday. Hopefully they’ll win this and score more goals. Will be back in M’sia on Thursday. Hopefully I’ll arrive there safely. Pray for me. It’s the 5th day and I am missing my home already.

Aku baru side track sket posting, sumer suda tny ‘Apahal?’. Anyway, caring kawan2 aku ni sumer. Thanks for asking. ‘Deep’ yek K.Ryzah? Yeah, if u read it dengan penuh perasaan, I’d say, it’s deeper. Talking about ‘deep’, u guys remind me of the song from East 17 - Deep. Jap lagi will find it. Ol’ skool yo!

Not that I’ve changed theme or whatsoever. Tak de berita bola yang menarik untuk minggu ini. Euro qualification ade tp I dun fancy talking about England chances. And yes, I am NOT an England fan. Tak payah tanya seploh kali.

‘Macam mane ko sokong MU tp tak sokong England? Kan England players ramai kat MU’ Kate seorang kawan. ‘Ramai ke?’ Yeah, Rooney or Hargreaves is ok but if u talk about Carrick ke, errr.. I have doubt over that. Giggsy ain’t Englishmen as well, so why bother?

I am hoping though, that everyone came back from international duty in piece. Though there’s news on Rooney’s progress from his latest injury setback, hopefully we’ll have a healthy team members. *Mcm satu team plak :p*

We’ll be @ Bolton next and hopefully the boys score more goals and win again this time around. In the meantime, I’ll be watching Fed-Ex tomorrow @ Shah Alam. Clash of Times. It’ll be an entertaining match I reckoned. Cume the way we Malaysian ni organized the event, ade kureng sket.

I was talking on the phone wit a fren last nite while watching Nadal vs Gasquet on Astro. I wasn’t aware of the opening ceremony nor the comment/interviews made by the MC. Tah sape tah. But my fren was complaining and embarassed with what she saw on tv.

She’s a big fan of the sports. So, tang ATP ke, Masters series ke, kire dia tau la in and out of the event. Mcm kite sumer la, kalau ko mmg big fan of soccer contohnye, u pretty much understood the rules or what not. When soccer players masuk padang, they’ll walk in line. Maybe with kids accompanying them. Lebih kurang gitu la.

So smalam kawan aku complain -

1) Ruffedge take the stage for the opening ceremony. Doesn’t matter la, tp MC melebih2 dok intro kate ni Best Boy Band, dpt anugerah itu ini. When I heard what my fren told me I was like, ‘Perlu ke?‘ Lain la ko menang MTV award ke ape.

2) MC siap ckp few years ago Nadal’s English isn’t as good as today. Errr.. nape ek ade statement gitu?

3) Players masuk dulu baru umpire.. bukan salu Masters series sumer, umpire sudah duduk atas kerusi ke?

4) Kerusi yg players duduk mcm kerusi kat skolah kate kawan aku. Hehehe

5) Mineral water utk players brand Aquarius. Patut bagi Evian katenye. The argument? They are both world class players. I told her, maybe Aquarius is world class standard for now. Hehehehe.

6) Linesmens org tua2. Yg tukang amik bola/bagi towel lembab jek.

7) The crowd terjerit2 tp the umpire tak soh diam pon. Umpire ala2 terkasima tgk Nadal’s biceps gitu. Hahahahaha.

Itu sumer kawan aku yg komen. Bukan aku except for no 6. Hahaha. Serius tu. Takkan tak de budak2 yg main tenis from BJSS? Pakcik2 tu plak jadik linesmen.

Tp aku tgk, quite entertaining jugak la the match. Cume skali skala u’ll see both Gasquet/Nadal mcm sengih2 semacam. Maybe pusing2 nak serve nampak pakcik2 tua di tepi gelanggang. Hehehehe.

Am expecting the same thing happen esok. Hopefully dpt bawak masuk camera. Nanti boleh la komen lebih lanjut. Come on MU! Come on FedEx!

p/s: Boss, saye tak mau pegi INDON

Don’t care so much for me,

I may get used to it.

Don’t come so near to me,

I may not be able to detach from it.

Don’t put so much faith in me,

I may not be able to handle it.

Don’t touch me the way u do,

I may not be able to get over it.

Don’t become a part of my life,

Coz without u, I won’t be able to live it.

Don’t make me fall for u,

I may not be able to fall out of it.

Don’t come into my life,

If u have to leave one day.

Don’t give me the hope,

That it’s forever u r gonna stay.

Coz love is an emotion

I won’t be able to hide,

When love isn’t reciprocated with love,

It hurts deep down inside.

Don’t start something

That I won’t be able to end.

Don’t make me believe

That u can be more than a friend.

Coz at the end of it all,

I don’t wanna hear u say,

That,” I’m sorry,”

“ but I never felt the same way!”

The atmosphere in Emirates was buzzing. The ‘high-profile’ match or so the press said, is about to kick off. The cameras been ‘moving’ around the stadium showcasing the fans, particularly the home fans. Then my eyes set on a guy who holds an A4 size like paper with a catchy phrase "Alexandre Hleb is the new George Best". WHAT? Eyes rolling and laughing out loud.

Oh, in case u dunno who Alexandre Hleb is, go google his name. *Hint : His an arse.* Ok what makes me laugh? Cube teka. No, not the guy’s beer belly. It’s the comparison. Alexandre Hleb and George Best? My oh my! Can someone tell me, isn’t there any other legend in the club residing @ the Emirates? Why on earth do they have to compared them with MU legends? Eeee.. Ke takde legend langsung from the club? Henry bukan legend ek? Oh, perhaps his black and Hleb is white. *Kidding!*

Tp seriously, there’s no glimpse of similiarities langsung. Buat malu kampung Emirates jek! Yes, Arse controlled the possessions. They had players pouring from all over positions for their attacks. Did u noticed something though? However ‘massive’ their attacking were, it wasn’t the usual threat or gameplay they used to do. Not much fancy movements. Crosses are limited. Fabregas was nowhere near the penalty area in the first half.

The only real threat came when Gallas head Fabregas curling Freekick to the stretching legs of VDS. We missed 2 good chances, both came courtesy of Giggsy’s off target shots. I read in the fans’ forum, a lot have been said about Giggsy. Most of them prefer Nani to be on the flank to allow Rooney to fully utilized the space in front of the goal post. I agreed about utilizing Rooney in the front post instead of the flank. But even without Nani we scored remember? Dun forget when Evra was caught off possession, Giggsy was the one who covered him up.

I’m not defending him. My point is, the whole team is at fault for letting 2 silly goals in. Anderson was playing too deep in centre midfield. Almost a defensive player alongside Hargreaves. He didn’t go forward that much. Was it Fergie’s order to stop Arse quick attack? I suppose so. Hargreaves just came back from injury lay off. To me he didn’t have the stamina to go str8 to this high tempo game. Therefore the energy of Anderson is critical to help him protecting the back 4.

Byk kali jugak Hargreaves makes mistake. Passing dia mmg teruk la. The other player yg super pissed aku adelah Rio. He’s backing off to much allowing yards of space for the opponent to shoot. Yang paling menyakitkan hati, asik2 angkat tgn to signal offside. Man, u dun bloody expect it was an offside. Lari la ngoi! Defend! Jgn harap linesmen manjang! Pemalas!

Ronaldo was relatively quiet in the early stage but he begun to stop the flick and trick and opt for sprinting pass Clichy. The 1st, we got a corner kick out of it, the 2nd, Gallas put the ball in the back of his own net at the end of 1st half. 2nd half started and within a few minutes Arse level the score. Again, it’s a havoc in the penalty area. Rio again, left yards of space, kununnye tuka position ngan keeper, allowing Fabregas time to score the goal. 

I wonder where Anderson was at that time. I wonder what Hargreaves are doing when Evra/VDS can take care of the position. Nape sumer crowded kat situ? The tactic however worked though for Arse. So few times u’ll see, all they did was just whipped the ball in the penalty area and try to get things out of it. At the other end, we were getting our foot and Roo was presented with a neat cross from Giggsy only to put it wide.

Anderson and Tevez make way for the fit again Saha and Carrick. Aiyoo. Carrick tu. Am getting sceptical when he came on. Sbb dia lebih perlahan dr Giggsy. On 84th minute, we took the lead courtesy of Ronaldo’s simple tap in. But the build up to the goal was superb. Saha was holding on to the ball and noticed Evra was making a run towards the penalty area. The reverse pass was mesmerizing and Evra pass the ball to Ronaldo for the goal.

I was happy. But not for long. Brown was substituted for O’Shea. And when the big Irishman failed to block a long punt from the opponent aku dah risau dah. And in the injury time, Arse equalized. Again, horrible gile dlm penalty box. Tak nampak langsung si O’Shea or Hargreaves, or Carrick. And I have to agree with Fergie - the opponent got out of jail. It’s not the tactic. It’s the failure to concentrate that cost us to claim the top spot.

I hope they will do better tonite. Let’s not do the same mistake again. Win this for Fergie at least! Come on MU! Keep scoring more goals and win!
