saye sangat pelupa
08 November, 2008

title-pinjam hadi. jgn marah ye.

bukan hadi goyang saje yg sgt pelupa, nampaknye aku juge seorg pelupa.

buktinye, td aku nak kunci gate. maka, aku keluar, kunci gate, kemudian masuk balik dalam rumah. sampai je kat pintu, mak aku tanya "ko dah kunci gate ke?"

aku terdiam. aku kunci ke tidak haa? "emm, jap, pg check balik." nasib baik dah kunci.

betape dalam tempoh tak sampai seminit antara gate dgn pintu rumah pun aku boleh terlupe. dah kritikal ni.

bukan ni saje, banyak lg. selalu je terlupe yg aku tgh panaskan kopi, terlupe nak jemur baju, terlupe yg aku kunci rumah ke tidak, dan macam2 lg.

mmg la, kalau dah terlupe tu nak buat macam mane. dalam ibadah pun kalau terlupe dimaafkan. tapi tak bestla kalau selalu sgt terlupe. dah jadi tabiat, mesti ade je yg terlupe. macam pak pandir la pulak.

setakat ni okla, tak pernah lg terlupe hal2 yg penting. tp risiko itu sentiase ade. masalah ni sebelum jadi merbahaye, perlu diatasi. jgn nnt pasal terlupe aku merana.

mungkin aku perlu makan kismis ngan memory booster banyak2, biar kuat sikit ingatan aku ni.

kalau korang ade amalan yg boleh improve ingatan, sile bgtau.

great goal?
01 November, 2008

warning: to footie fan only.hehehe

define a great goal.

what makes a goal a great goal? is it because the way it's scored? or because of the difficulty in catching it? or perhaps, because of the complexity of it?

david bentley's goal against arsenal in the midweek was heralded by many as a great goal. it was graciously celebrated by many, except arsenal fans of course, and got pundits running around declaring it as the goal of the season. in one night, he became a star, thanks to his beautiful volley.

yet, is it worth to be call a great goal?

let's compare it to another goal. esteban cambiasso's goal against serbia in world cup 2006 in germany. the goal many regarded as the goal of the tournament. the goal doesn't have the glossy finish like bentley's. from the way he scored, it doesn't seem to have anything special around it.

however, it was made special by the 25 pass moves that preceded the goal. a brilliant, fluid combination of pass and move, beautifully orchestrated by the argentines. the finish, though simple as it seems, capped off a great team effort, and became a testament of the class owned by them.

hmm. class. perhaps it was the thing that both goals i mentioned earlier have in common. while the class of cambiasso's goal lies in the build up, bentley's class was evident in the finish. it was beautifully strucked, came from a great technique and a sense of awareness, to be able to sense the right moment to deliver. he decided to try, and he scored. surprise.

ah. yes. surprise. awe. the shock factor. clearly a factor that defines a great goals. goals, that came out of nowhere, conjured by brilliant players, who have the ability to create something out of thin air, to be able to see the moment when nobody else sees it.

like di canio's goal, the one he scored against wimbledon in 2000. or the one henry scored against man united, also in 2000. these goals were scored when no was expecting it. simply caught anyone by surprise.

another thing that perhaps we should consider is the originality. remember david beckham famous goal? that audacious lob that caught poor neil sullivan off guard? that goal launched him to super stardom, and even recognised as the best goal from the first decade of the premiership.

yet, when xabi alonso and matthew taylor repeated the trick, there were less euphoria around. it was still celebrated as a brilliant individual effort, but with less hype than what beckham had. simply because he had done it first.

the same fate fell to messi's perfect carbon copy of maradona's goal. the goal was full of quality and class, as dribbling past a number of opposition defenders is no mean feat. however, while many sees it as a moment of genius from the young man, many also sees it as the kid obsession to emulate his idol. thus, the goal never reached the same height as the maradona's goal.

and perhaps it is something that bentley's goal lacked. while it certainly has a lot of quality and the element of surprise in it, we have seen too many volleys and over-the-keeper lobs. and despite his best effort to combine both of them, it might just not be enough. a contender for the goal of the season it is, but whether it will live long enough in our minds in years to come will be another question.

one thing for sure, that goal will give us enough reason to be enchanted and captivated by the beautiful game. it might take years before another great goal to be scored, but till then, we will be waiting patiently.

signing off.

bertembung orang gile
28 October, 2008

ok, aku sebenarnye tak sure la die ni org gile ke tak. so, korang bace, then nilai sendiri.

kisah ni berlaku semase aku dgn toyo tgh tggu bas dkat bus stop kat umah aku. toyo tido umah aku malam sebelumnye, jadi die nak balik bangi la tgh hari td. aku pulak mmg nak keluar, so, tggu skali la.

mase tgh tggu ni, aku perasan seorang lelaki cine berumur dalam 30-40an. die memakai baju t-shirt berwarna hijau yg di tuck in masuk dalam short die.pakaian die pulak agak kotor dan lusuh, mmg nampak tak terurus la.

mase aku perhatikan die, die tgh mengadap ke kawasan semak bersebelahan sebuah public phone. lame aku fikir, apela yg die buat kat situ. setelah lama, baru la aku tau. die 'menandas' rupenye. cess, pengotor.

aku dgn toyo pun kutk la lelaki ni, tp perlahan la, takdek kuat2 nye. tibe2 je, die pandang ktrg. lalu, secare tibe2 je die melangkah ke arah kitorang. melangkah dgn cukup pantas sekali. seolah2 yg die dgr kitorg kutuk die, dan nak marah kitorg.

aku agak terkejut dgn perlakuan die. toyo lgla, elok2 tgh duduk, terus bgn lari. aku pun turut menjauhkan diri dari lelaki tu, tp die terus mengekori kitorng smbil membuat gaye mahukan sesuatu.

owh, die nak lighter rupenye. toyo pun tolong la lightkan rokok die, kalau boleh panggil rokok lg la, pasal dah tiggal sket2 puntung ngan kotor2 cam dah kene pijak. ntah sape punye la die ambik tu.

berape lame lepas kejadian tu, aku pun pandang la die dari jauh lg. kali ni, kitorang terlihat die menyapu tgnnye di dinding besi kat belakang bus stand tu, lepas tu die jilat habuk2 yg melekat dkat tgn die, seolah2 bende tu manis cam gula. ugh.

skrg, nilai, gilekah die?

aku,drive dan tidur....
18 October, 2008

tadi nak pg beli seluar gelap, yela, nak btn kan.disebabkan aku yg loser ni takde lesen,kene la ikut bapak, takleh pegi sendiri.

dalam perjalanan tu,jalan jam la pulak.so, tersangkut la sebentar.duduk dalam kereta,aircond kuat,dgr pulak klfm... ah, sungguh selesa.....

"oii, dah tido ke?!"

ugh.tersentak aku sebentar.aku terlelap rupenye.hehehe.

dah jd tabiat aku agknye, bile nek keta je mesti ngantuk.kalau pasang aircond lgla.sebenarnye bkan bapak aku saje, ramai lg yg tensen bile aku tido time diorg drive. kawan2 aku, malah sedare aku pun panas semacam je bile aku tido time pg beraye haritu.

aku tak faham kenape diorg nak marah bile aku tido. bkannye aku buat sesuatu yg meninggikan risiko kemalangan. lgpun, bile aku tido, bolehla diorg menumpukan perhatian time drive. nnt kalo aku jage, asyik sembang je, kate aku menganggu pulak.

mungkin mereka tension sebab diorg tak boleh nak tido sekali.ye, aku rase itulah sebabnye..

hahaha, lantakla.

esok konvoi ngan budak2 kms. alim cakap die nak drive. puas hati aku tido sampai ke bangi. hahahaha.

circus
15 October, 2008




Circus
by Eric Clapton

Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.

And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.

And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round'
Cause the circus left town.

Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.

Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.

originally named circus left town, this song was written in the memory of his son, who died when he fell from his mother friends apartment. this song actually described the last time clapton saw he son, when he took him to the circus.

clapton first played this song during his mtv unplugged session, however this song, alongside "my father's eyes" were not included in the unplugged album, because he said it was "too shaky". it was included in 1998 album pilgrim, renamed circus.

a beautiful song, yet a very emotional one. you can feel the sadness from the way he sang it. a masterpiece fom the great slowhand.
