First Experience Watching a Football Match Live

Love it! Hahahaha!
Hubby is a football fan and I am not. However, I do include 'watching a live football match in a stadium' in my bucket list. So when Malaysia went into semi-final for the AFF Suzuki Cup 2014, I decided, hey, I can put a check mark beside this particular bucket list.
Hubby got tix for both of us and off we went to Stadium Shah Alam on 7th Dec, naik moto haaaa. Siap beli helmet for me ptg tu, coz hubby only has his helmet.

Nasib baik dalam byk2 running tees, ada yg kaler kuning

I was there mainly to experience the atmosphere of a live football game. What an experience! And drama! Malaysia scored only once that night but the roar...my goodness. I dunno how high is the decibles...it was deafening allright. 120dB? 150dB? When Safiq Rahim scored (nice kick!), everybody cheered, roared and I planted my hands on my ears, laughing.

Cards formation (harimau mata merah) by the Ultras when Malaysian players walked into the stadium

Special appreciation to Ultras Malaya. These bunch of energetic people..they chanted non-stop, they even moved, swayed, jumped in sync (except when Vietnam scored hahaha! terpaku gitu).
With Malaysia going into the final (YEYYY!), I am sooo going to the watch the Harimau Malaya plays against Thai, LIVE this 20th Dec.
Now...I just need to buy the ticket. ehehehe. And check if I have any running tees in blue/red.

Celebrating Merdeka a bit differently

Sale! Sale! Apa lagi, shopping time :)
Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan.

Alang2, mai pasang lagu Warisan (Sudirman)

Disini lahirnya sebuah cinta
Yang murni abadi sejati
Disini tersemai cita cita
Bercambah menjadi warisan

( korus )
Andai ku terbuang tak diterima
Andai aku disingkirkan
Kemana harusku bawakan
Kemana harusku semaikan cinta ini

Betapa
Dibumi ini ku melangkah
Keutara selatan timur dan barat
Ku jejaki

Aku
Bukanlah seorang perwira
Gagah menjunjung senjata
Namun hati rela berjuang 
Walau dengan cara sendiri
Demi cinta ini

( ulang korus )
Ku ingin kotakan seribu janji
Sepanjang kedewasaan ini
Ku ingin sampaikan pesanan
Aku lah penyambung warisan


As usual, kindergartens would grab the opportunities to liven up the environment. You know kids, they are easily bored. So, Huda's kindy had a Merdeka celebration this morning.

Permata harapan negara

I also had the pleasure of watching the latihan perbarisan this morning, while commuting to work.

Scary looking, huh? :D

Musim rama2 ke?

I am spotting a lot of butterflies around KL area lately, 1 type of species only lah (tropical swallowtail moth). I wonder what actually happened? I don't think this phenomena occurred in previous years.

Found on the floor in Suria KLCC

On Marini's On 57 board

On pedestrian walkway along Jalan Tun Razak

Also saw them from my office window, fluttering in the sky and I work at level 60. Tah camne diaorg ni boleh naik tinggi.

Apparently, this phenomenon is occurring nationwide. Someone told me about these butterflies in Stadium Darul Makmur Pahang vs JDT and I found this photo.

Yikes..

Also found this photo

Demam pilihanraya PRU13..dah kebah ke belum ni?

Finally TS Khalid will be sworn in as MB Selangor..hep, hep! Kita doalah for a better Selangor. I am also very happy coz the people I voted for Parlimen and ADUN got their post. To AK, you sore loser...ni kes burung terbang pipiskan lada (hah! carik sendiri apa maksud). Kalau dah jadi top mgmt PKR, apa hal benda2 macam tak leh nak foresee/ expect. Manage expectations lah!

Tgh beratur, Saliran 3.

I went out to cast my vote around 12noon. Sampai center around 1220pm. Panaaas. Jokingly I said to hubby whether I can be treated as OKU since preggy ehehehe. Never mind lah. Pakai jugak baju yg loose2. Still not ready to advert to the whole world of my preggyness. While queueing, (it was hot ok), ladies were fanning themselves and luckily I had  this one piece of paper to fan myself, jadi la.
One SPR officer passed by and asked the lady behind me,'Kakak pregnant ke, kalau pregnant, boleh ke depan.'. Uihhhh..riuhh kakak tu dgn kawan dia sebab dia bukannya pregnant pun, nampak je mcm pregnant. Nasib baik tak ambik hati. Tersipu2 malu, mamt SPR tu sambil mintak maaf. I was like...'aku tak nampak pregnant ke...should I declare and take on this offer?'. Last2, ku menyepikan diri, dengor je la kakak tu mengekek2 dgn kawan dia. Nyesal ke? Tak jugak, since from home I was mentally prepared for a long queue and even put on loose fitting clothing. By 125pm, all done. Yey! Syok jugak ngundi nih.

The ink which is not indelible at ALL. Balik rumah, basuh sabun, tanggal je, except those celah2 kuku.

Staying up for the result, was an experience as well. Reading all the FB posts on personal opinions (some stupid, some racist, some enlightening) and so called analysis (I questioned some of it) was also a novelty. It was just like zaman2 sekolah. Insensitive remarks, bogus facts, parroting, lame reasoning. Sumer ada. Yet, there was also heart warming posting, words of wisdom and reality check point of views.
Apa2 pun, you take ALL in, the good, the bad, and make an opinion out of it. Kalau rase tak cukup ilmu di dada, tak yah la nak berdebat2 macam nak rak. Just uphold what you personally feels is right and and make sure you just focus on things you can control/ contribute.

Gedik la pulak ahahahaa..hai first time nak mengundi. Teruk, tak teruk. Dulu2 tak heran dgn politik2. Tapi lately ni jadi heran sebab rasa hampeh benor gomen la ni. Lagi2 bila duit rakyat ditabur2 sesuka hati.
Last Sunday, actually ada segerombolan BN campaigners kat Pasar Tani. Tak kecoh2 pun, macam jalan2 cari makan kat pasar je derang2 ni. Tak perasan pulak yang mana satu calonnya. Takde pun orang kerumun, salam2 or amik gambar.
About 20mins later, ada one guy tiba2 melintas in front of me raising his HP camera high. Apakah pulak? Initially I thought he wanted to take impressive food photo (like earlier I saw 1 lady taking photo of kambing golek). Then I saw segerombolan orang, oooOO..PAS nye campaigners la plak. Much smaller nye gerombolan, easily 1/3 of BN's. Then I saw the calon YB Khalid, easily spotted lah kan sebab 2-3org nak amik gambo and bergambo. Ada jugak org salam2. Sama je, tak kecoh2 pun. Org datang nak beli brg pasar beb, bukannya nak tgk org berkempen, so rilek2 je sumer orang. Baguslah.
Seronok pulak rasenya..seronok sebab bahang PRU13 dah terasa, now that I've decided to vote and seriously vote. Ni bukan atas2 pagar, or ikut2 orang. Did and still doing my homework and making an informed decision to cast my vote. Apa2 pun, teringat blog Prof Dr Muhaya (sori kalau salah eja), 'Undi supaya senang menjawab di akhirat nanti.' Ohhh! Sangat2 setuju. Thanks to opis mate Tadha for sharing this fine view.

Parlimen bubar akhirnya...

Uihhhh..berjanggut menunggu weh. Yesterday, I got so worried over the fate of Malaysia, when PM announced BR1M for PETRONAS which is RM1000 per person. Telekom (RM500/person), TNB (1 month salary) they also got BR1M. Sheesshh..this guy is spending government money (aka rakyat's money) like he owns it.
And somebody said there was a rumor that we may not need to pay tax for 2012. Aiyooohh..I got more worried. Habih la kering kontang our nation's coffer. When parlimen dibubarkan hari ni, I was so relieved. No more menabur2 duit...for now. I guess, LHDN is business as usual also.
Anyways, my purpose for this post is to make sure that I remember who has served my area as ahli Parlimen (Shah Alam) and ahli DUN (Kota Anggerik). YB Khalid Abd Samad (PAS) and YB Yaakob Sapari (PKR) respectively. Baca2 internet, gayanya macam both will be bertanding in PRU13. Who else will be bertanding? Mari kita tunggu dan lihat.
