Malaysian Football

December 31st, 2010 No comments

166627_480067597869_562717869_5531677_282750_nI have always been a football fan since i was a kid..my achievement was representing my school,club & Penang way back in high school days. After that, i only play football in a small field/pitch..called futsal.
Ive been playing futsal ever since..entered couple of competition,get into fights, the joy & humiliation..just love this sports. It like making out with a 17 years old girl (i donno how that feel?trust me)
Basically,its fun for me..a stress relief & spend time with friends who loves the game.
On the 26th December 2010, i decided to go and watch football at Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil with a couple of friends. Its the AFF Cup first leg Finals between Malaysia & Indonesia.(keep wondering why must they have 2 leg for the Final?)I bought the tickets on Friday morning but they started selling it Thursday..i thought its no harm buying it late because local football is not that popular anymore…guess what?i tried to buy the RM50..it was finished on the morning the counter opens. So,whats left is RM30..ok lah..~

26th December, Bukit Jalil National Stadium.5pm..Me & Jia Shyan(a colleague) went to the stadium riding my motorbike because it was jammed pack that time. Upon arriving, we looked for parking space but without noticing..We went pass a crowd of Indonesian fans.(We were at the opponent entrance.yikes!) Then,found a parking spot. We  meet up our Indonesian friend; Aswin through the crowded stadium. We ate near the foodcourt before went it around 6pm..somehow,i need to take a leak before we went in the stadium. The que was so long…its like lining up for a lottery ticket. After that, we went in with our horns & making lots of noises. Seats are not filled yet but still people starts making noise like the game is about to start at anytime…but guess what, the game starts at 8pm..so, we sat there making noise honking (blow our horns) & looking at wave of people..the wait is excruciating..even the kickoff wisel cant be heard because too much noise (more than 80 thousand people in the stadium). First half, not much action..second half was the best. Goals keep coming after another..it should have been 4 or more. The funny part is, whenever the Malaysia team scored a goal..we were screaming & hugging people around us with joy..hey, even i throw away my horn & hug the guy infront of me because i was so ecstatic ..Malaysia won 3 – 0 that night. The only person who is not celebrating the goals is Aswin (an indonesian fan ‘lost’). When the game finish..i think the hardest part was going out from the stadium in one piece. They(people) were pushing & uncivilized while  making their way out..how rude! In the end..it was a nice memory & will be remembered :)

Congratulations to Malaysia for being the winner of AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 (after 14 years waiting).. & we got public holiday because of you guys :) yey!

MALAYSIA BOLEH!next..World Cup.. :P

what a way to end the year…~so,see you next year. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!

Hospital & Me

November 12th, 2010 No comments

physio therapyStarted out in fasting month..i twisted my knee during my usual futsal sparing..when it happen,i can hear a cracking sound from my knee..its like poping out or something. What i fear is a broken joint..without any doubt,i tried twisting back my knee back in & it does ease the pain..a bit.
In the end, i get over the pain in a couple of days..well,not exactly..the pain keeps on coming..been in & out of clinic but doctors still think its a normal hamstring or ligament torn..duh!?
In 2007,i used to be hospitalized at Pantai Medical Hospital after i played futsal for my company that time(Open University Malaysia). My team won that competition but it cost me treatment to my knee for PCL injury. Well,pcl is cure-able by just doing physio therapy..now my knee injury is ACL which is much worst & the only way to cure it is by surgery..then lots of physio therapy.sissh!?
1st november 2010,i was admitted at Pantai Medical Hospital for that ACL surgery. Morning checked in my ward, do all the blood test & checkup…around 5pm i was bused & did’nt have any memory during surgery.
When i woke up,im was on my way to my room. Somehow i vomit afterward because of nausea.
The next morning,i was bath(wipe) by 2 nurses & took a long ‘nature call’ (pee) by just using a pee cup thingie..(urine bowl)
Then rest of the days,going to the rehab center for intense physio therapy..
Now, Im at home writing this blog through my iphone 4..lying down with my knee wrap with brace & crutches.

P/s: im getting used with this crutches..~

BODYCOUNT

(http://www.geek.com/articles/games/codemasters-announces-bodycount-fps-2010039/)

Bodycount rips apart the first person shooter as genre-defining gunplay comes alive in a balletic orgy of bullets and destruction.

Experience the intense thrill of close-quarters combat in a shreddable world as Bodycount blasts outrageous fire-fights and ferocious action from both barrels.  Become a powerful combat asset green-lighted to eliminate enemies known only as ‘Targets’ on behalf of the ‘Network’, ensnared in a clandestine global power struggle that rages away from the headlines and under the cover of conventional war zones.

This exhilarating shooter drops players into chaotic areas of operations equipped with a mouth-watering selection of contemporary weapons to tear through environments and enemies, chaining kills, earning power ups and building up a bullet meter to unleash devastating air strikes on enemies.

Complimented by co-operative online play and multiplayer modes, Bodycount will set new standards for spectacular, visceral gun play and put the fun back into the FPS.

Dirt 2 game cover

Collin McRae : DiRT 2 is out now. In this game there are 8 rally tracks (country) to race and 4 of them were made in Codemasters KL Studios. (Malaysia,Morroco,Baja & Utah). Myself involved in production of Malaysia & Baja track and other assets creation. After GRiD, DiRT 2 is highly anticipated by the fans and its capabilities is awesome; from handling,flashback replay to particles system that have been improved.

Dirt 2 have been reviewed by top gamers website & get highly rated for 9 out of 10. With the release of GRiD last year, DiRT 2 is a combination of the old rally series & the new technology racing that incorperated in EGO game engine..its an exciting  off road racing where racing takes you to the extreme!..for someone who is into X-games like me, names like ken block,dave mirra,travis pastrana & collin mcrae himself is common with rally X. i still remember when collin tip over his car but still manage to finish the race.. so far,we’re getting good feedback for Dirt 2 and proud of it. The Malaysia track featured in this game is taken from a location in Rawang & this is something new because people will know Malaysia even through video games..in fact,the track is fun to play. So, get your copy of DIRT 2 now (available in all platform)…~ u wont regret it.

‘Technically, the game looks gorgeous, runs smooth at a constant frame rate, and exhibits almost no bugs and glitches’- digitalbattle.com

‘Given how superb both the cars and the various environments they race through look, it’s impressive that the frame rate rarely falters online or offline. The sense of speed is great, whether you’re racing through a jungle in Malaysia.. ‘- reviews.cnet.com

‘The majority of the track designs are also fun to race on, filled with curves, hairpins, switchbacks, chicanes, and jumps.’ – 1up.com

‘This is a Very Good Thing because not only is GRID one of the best-looking games ever made, it’s also one of the most enjoyable racers we’ve ever played ‘- gamesradar.com
