It's amazing to notice that the football ticket is sold out. Amazing! The feeling is so great knowing that Malaysians are ready for hope.

We went to Bukit Jalil Stadium to collect our online tickets today and found out that all tickets are sold out!  Go Harimau Malaya!

I had a brief discussion yesterday with my parents. We were discussing about the possibilities of me getting married this year. My mom told me that she has no problem if I want to get married.

"ok, if u want to merisik, go and buy the ring. Just buy the plain ring which cost around RM 200 - RM 400" mom said.

So the first step of me getting married is to get the merisik ring which is known as the belah rotan. Belah rotan ring is just a simple ring which is known as cincin tanda. I think I'll buy the ring buy this week.

Merisik should be a simple event whereby both families sit together for a discussion and getting to know at the same time. I believe this is the most important step when getting married. From the outcome of the talk, you will then decide whether should you or shouldn't you proceed. For me, I look it that way. If the process of merisik is smooth, then I believe it should be less problem for the next steps.

Based on my research, during the merisik part, the guys should bring a long some fruits, sweets or any gifts. Its not compulsory but more on the public relations between both families.

I was thinking of doing the merisik by this week itself but it seems that my request has been turned down by my parents. They said its better to do during the Ramadhan or after raya. Well, for me, anything is acceptable. The longer time I have, the better it is. Why? More money to save and more time to enjoy my bachelorhood period.

So long...The day is getting nearer..I can feel the heat inside me. My palm is sweating. My mind is thinking of many things! How I wish I am 18 rather than 28...

Over the weekend, I saw a colleague of mine selling "kebab" and "nasi lemak" in front of SJMC, Subang. I messaged him, told that I saw him. Asked him what was he doing in front of SJMC. He said he's there helping his girlfriend selling kebab. "Wanna make some extra income laa bro. Just don't tell anyone". That's what he said.

Mission statement, vision statement and core values are actually the foundation of a company. From what I see in Malaysia, most companies have all those but it's not being communicated well to the employees. What's the point of having bombastic core values which at the end of the days, nobody understands it or even practice it.

Gossip Mongers

They talk about me
They talk about you
Don’t they have anything better to do?

Gossip mongers
Catty quippers
Wagging tongues in satin slippers

Lies and half truths
Is what they convey
Fabricated stories mostly I’d say

They search to and fro
For a juicy tidbit
What will it take to make them quit?

Yesterday I had a discussion with miss and found out that most of her friends congratulate her.

It was darn funny as I heard my friend saying this to his office girlfriend yesterday. I asked him what's up. He said his girlfriend is so funny. Don't know how to distinguish between office and outside. Well, I told him that's the case when someone is dating in the same office.

To me, though my current partner is from the same office, I don't see it as an issue. Why?

1. I don't treat her any different from any of my friend;
2. We go out lunch with others as well. Though lately, we spent the time together most of the time;
3. Any relationship can be triggered at any place. It doesn't matter whether office, gym, bars etc.;
4. I told her that we are not going to be colleagues forever;
5. She's my friend and potential soulmate. I don't find it boring to see her as I know I can bully her. Without her, I feel a little bit empty; and
6. Maybe I'm old enough for the critics. At the end of the day, people can say whatever they want to say. U can listen but u have ur own choice to follow through.

I told my friend to enjoy the moment. Just enjoy the moment as not many people can actually date someone from the same office and enjoy the companion. One thing to ponder for office dating is whether is there any compatibility. If both has a different kinds of friends outside office, I believe the relationship can work. Otherwise, the couple is just together because of the same environment they are in.

When I wake up and she's not next to me, I realized that it's time for me to think of something big.

I told her lets get married by this year and her feedback is very positive.

After dating so many girls, this is the woman that believes in me. Guess what, the most important thing in a relationship is believe. She, someone who is fun, cool, smart and nice, can i get the same from others? I doubt that.

Good opportunities don't come often. I believe this is it. Should I wait? Shouldn't i?

Getting married is an opportunity to share and spread the love. Build a life from scratch. Ain't that something to look forward? Is life complete when u have money, big house, posh cars? Other people will have different views. For me, life is complete when I have met my soulmate. Someone that can be my lover and someone that can be my friend.

People always say our relationship is kind of funny and seems like a 'love-hate-relationship'. I told her that the most important thing in a relationship is to be true to oneself. Don't pretend to be nice or extra clingy if she's not. I even allow her to curse and yell when necessary. Maybe that's me. I am simple but sophisticated. Guess she can handle me after going through all the hardship in less than a year.

What I can see is, something is going to happen soon.

Will keep on updating about the next step soon...

Last year, when Malaysia won the Asian Suzuki Cup, the sales of the jersey were outstanding until Nike had to re-produced them again to cater for the high rising demand. It's unexpected as most of us barely knows the name of the national players.

For me, I find it interesting to watch many young people wearing the national jersey these days. Thanks to Nike, the jersey actually looks pretty cool. Currently, the price of the jersey is only RM 199 which is RM 50 cheaper than the other jerseys in the Nike shops.

This move is to actually encourage more Malaysian to own this jersey. If our stadiums are filled with our own national jerseys, how nice can that be right? Fantastic!

As for today, I went to the Nike Shop in MidValley to get my own national jersey for the first time. I was relieved to know that there are still stocks for the jerseys. I am very much happy to finally own my own national jersey. Well, there are options where I can actually purchase the jersey at the price of RM 50 and below, sold in front of the stadiums. However, if I can buy Manchester Jersey at the price of RM 259, why can't I buy the original jersey? Think about it. It's not about the quality. Is about national pride.

From now onwards, I will ensure to follow the national football team as I believe this hopeful footballers needs some sort of support from their own fan. Without their own fan, it will be a sad journey for these players.

Negaraku, tanggungjawabku.

My country, my responsibility.

Apalah ertinya sukan tanpa peminat?

What is the meaning of sports without fans?

Looking at the current scenario, the numbers of Malaysian supporter has risen as compared to the previous years. Our revival started in 2009 when we won the the Laos Sea Games by beating Vietnam, 1-0. Consequently, we also won the Suzuki Cup in 2010 by beating our arch rivals, Indonesia. Honestly speaking, I haven't been watching or following the Malaysian league since 1994. When talking about football, I only watch games involving Manchester United, Barcelona, Argentina and so on. Isn't it irony for Malaysian to actually support other countries instead of their own countries?

Thanks to our glory in those two tournaments, it made me realized that footballers needs fan. Without a strong fan base, they won't have the same spirit like the other football team in the world. Football is a game played by 11 players against another 11 and can be witness by thousands of fans. Just imagine if the 100,000 capacity in Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil is packed by our supporters, I would strongly say that these players will play wholeheartedly.

We might lack a lot of technical aspects but with the high team spirit, impossible is nothing. We have showed in 70's and 80's that we are one of the respected team in Asia and even qualified for the 1980 Moscow Olympic though we actually opted to boycott the Game. History has shown that Malaysia can actually play.

With our current team being so called Harimau Malaya or well known as Malaya Tiger, I believe we can triumph once again.

This are just two songs taken from the UltraMalayas. Come on Malaysia. Put away all our hatred towards the government and let's have fun celebrate / support the revival of our Malaysian Football Team. Without us, there are no roar of Harimau Malaya that can be heard in the Nasional Stadium Bukit Jalil.

Ole! Ole! Ole! Berjuanglang wahai pemain- pemain Malaysia. Kamulah wakil B.E.R.S.IH kerana kamu menyatukan kaum-kaum di Malaysia untuk bersama- sama menyokong pasukan negara!

Yesterday, I completed my first run - 3km - with stops hehe. Met a lot of friends along the way, "Eh..hi!...Eh..hi!" Wasn't quite confident at first, and then I realized that 3km isn't that far after all.

Mr. was fast! Of course being the nice bf, he accompanied me for the first 1km. The second I met a friend of mine along the way, he was gone in a flash! (exageratting here hehe) Mesti dalam kepala "Adoii... lembabnya gf aku ni....."

Me & Mr - notice who's holding the medal? Hihi

Me with some of our colleagues.

I have to admit that I'm not fit - low stamina level. But looking at everyone else there, I am very motivated to build up my stamina now onwards. I wanna join the next run and complete it without stopping! I can do thissssss! I can keep up with u Mr! ;)

These days, many marry for the wrong reasons. Some for money, some for power, some for love – or maybe lust? We decide on marriage based on JUST emotions & feelings – but who are we really? Imperfect human beings.

I always believe that yes – we must trust our feelings – but we must also never forget to seek for Allah’s guidance because HE knows what’s best for us. We always forget that, don’t we? We always forget the power of Allah. Always pray for the best for ourselves. InsyaAllah we will fall in love with THE one.

And when in doubt, in uncertainty, you may do solat istikharah:

Solat Istikharah

Seseorang yang menghadapi sesuatu soal yang bersifat mudah, sedang ia sendiri masih ragu-ragu mana sebaiknya dilakukan, maka di sunatkan mengerjakan solat yang bukan termasuk wajib.
Solat itu boleh saja di waktu mengerjakan sunat Rawatib atau Tahiyatul-masjid dan boleh pula di waktu malam atau pun siang, sedang bacaan sehabis Al-Fatihah dapat dipilih sekehendaknya. Setelah selesai solat sunat, bacalah doa ini:


"Ya Allah, saya memohonkan pilihan menurut pengetahuanMu dan memohonkan penetapan dengan kesuasaanMu juga saya memohonkan kurniaMu yang besar, sebab sesungguhnya Engkaulah yang Maha Mengetahui dan saya tidak mengetahui apa-apa. Engkau Maha Mengetahui segala yang ghaib. Ya Allah, jikalau di dalam ilmuMu bahawa …………. baik untukku dalam agamaku, kehidupanku serta akibat urusanku, maka takdirkanlah untukku dan mudahkanlah serta berikanlah berkah kepadaku di dalamnya. Sebaliknya jikala di dalam ilmumu bahawa urusan ini buruk untukku, dalam agamaku, kehidupan serta akibat urusanku, maka jauhkanlah hal itu daripadaku dan jauhkanlah aku daripadanya serta takdirkanlah untukku yang baik-baik saja dimana saja adanya, kemudian puaskanlah hatiku dengan takdirMu itu."

Many are worried of losing the one you’re currently in love with, but not to worry: if he’s not the right one for you , insyaAllah he will be brought far away from you, your feelings for him might slowly fade away too. If he’s the right one for you, you will feel it. You will be satisfied and sure of your decision. If still in doubt, do this solat every other day, until you’ve found the answer. God will guide your through your instincts and feelings - naluri dan perasaan. You will feel very calm with the guidance, insyaAllah.

Always put your faith in Allah – redha dengan ketentuanNya. Because like I said, HE knows best. Jodoh itu di tangan Tuhan :)
