Mr. Crab And Mr. Squid

source

So tonight I would like to share one of my lesson plans that I designed for my Year 3 kids. It was not in the textbook because I created it myself. So, please expect some flaws. Haha

Lesson 1 : LISTENING / SPEAKING
After I read them the story, I asked them simple WH Questions such as, ‘How many characters in the story?’ “Where did Mr.Crab live?’ and etc.

I wrote this story at 3 a.m. I just couldn’t find the best, simplest and easiest story to teach Simple Past Tense on the internet, so I had to come up with my own story. I dunno why I chose crab and squid as my characters, but these two characters remind you of something right? Haha. SPONGEBOB!

If you look at the ending of the story where the food was gone, I was actually so sleepy and exhausted at that time. I didn’t know how to finish the story, so sengaja buat tergantung. Kunun2 nk suruh my kids sambung cerita la and it worked. Haha

Lesson 2 : READING
Match the sentence halves based on the story.

Answer and colour. Colour and answer.

This is what I did in Lesson 2, after doing shared reading. First, I asked them to retell the story using picture cards that I pasted on the board and then, we moved to this activity. Basically, they just had to choose the correct phrases based on the story, but to add more fun in it, I asked them to colour it. They loved colouring. Semua pun nk warna. Gambar Mr.Crab and Mr.Squid yang memang dh berwarna tu pon nk warna lagi..

Lesson 3 : WRITING
A good platform to expand their ideas.

Talking about outside the box huh?

Here is the best part. I asked them to throw me ideas about what happened to the food. At first, class was a bit quiet because they thought I expected some serious answers, so I started to give examples, ‘The food was gone because Mr.Crab didn’t like it and he threw it away.’ After that, one by one gave me weird funny answers. I wrote properly on the board and asked them to choose any three of the answers and write them on the task sheet.

Lesson 4 : GRAMMAR
Simple Past Tense yaaww. (I suck at writing simple instructions!)

Since the story was in Past Tense, I thought it would be good if I focused on the Simple Past Tense used in this story. I explained about Past Tense and gave examples such as ‘had’, ‘went’ and ‘shared’ from the story. Then, I asked them to help me find few more Past Tense verbs and list them down in the task sheet above.

Lesson 4 : GRAMMAR
Match and match and match!

Then, match the verbs in Past Tense to the root words. Of course, I gave an example on the board before asking them to do it by themselves.

Lesson 4 : GRAMMAR
Fill in the blanks!

Lastly, ‘Fill in the blanks’ exercise as the closure of the grammar lesson. For some reason, they said this exercise was the hardest. I didn’t give examples but I told them the answers were all in the story that they have just read. I helped them with the first two questions, then, baru la diorg boleh buat sendiri. Maybe my instructions were not clear.

For ‘Language Art’ lesson, I just asked them to do a role-play. I divided them into several groups and they presented it in front of the class. I know there were only two characters in the story, but I asked them to insert the ending of the story by themselves (like what they did in Lesson 3) and there, they could add more characters. So, every group presented different ending of the story. One of the groups came up with something like this,
‘The food was stolen by a witch. The witch gave the food to her assistant and children.’

Some even acted as non-living thing, like bubbles.
‘The food got into a huge bubble and the bubble took it away. When the bubble got into the surface, it burst!.’

It was funny but quite tiring especially when you handled a group of over-curious and over-excited students.

Owh, I just love teaching!

p/s – It’s 12.02 a.m. now so Happy Birthday to me! Haha

Getting ‘Wet and Wild’ In Gua Tempurung!

source

Hubby’s going on school camping today so I’ll be home alone for these two days. Sad.

But you know, since I have nothing to do really, well, besides watching Gossip Girls DVD over and over, I think it’s best if I write about my recent school trip to Gua Tempurung and Cameron Highland.

Well, we gathered at school around 2.00 a.m. and I was the laaast teacher to arrive, at 2.15 p.m. Tgk, lambat 15 minit je dh jadi yg paling last sbb budak2 ni semua excited nk pegi, pukul 1 pagi dah tunggu kat sekolah. Hehehehe.. As for me, malam tu memang lambat packing so lambat la sampai. :-p  After doa and a quick speech by the ‘Ketua Rombongan’, we departed from school at 3.00 in the morning. I slept for the whole journey and only woke up at RnR Jejantas Sungai Buloh at 5.30 a.m., if I’m not mistaken. It was sooo cold, so I didn’t plan to take my shower because right after this, we were heading straight to Gua Tempurung. As I have stated in the previous entry, this caving activity involved a lot of water so there was no point taking shower in the morning, only to get wet in the cave later, right? Hehe

After freshen up, solat and breakfast, we continued our journey to Gua Tempurung. I really like the view along the highway. It was so beautiful compared to southern highway that I found too boring. We arrived at Plaza Toll Gopeng and continued another few minutes to our destination. When we arrived there, there were six to seven school buses by the road. Oh my! It’s gonna be a full cave!

Before I go further, here’s a little information about Gua Tempurung that I found in Wikipedia.

“Gua Tempurung is a cave in Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia. It is popular among spelunkers, or caving enthusiasts. More than 3 km long, it is one of the longest caves in Peninsula Malaysia. Part of it has been developed as a show cave with electric lighting and walkways and there are a range of tours of different lengths and difficulty. A fine river cave, the river passage runs about 1.6 km through the hill. There are three very large chambers and some spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.”

Okay, enjoy the pictures!

Arrived!

Before entering Gua Tempurung..

Gua Tempurung, 2012. Last time I was here, it was in 2001.

Deeper into the cave.. The exploration begins..

Tired of climbing up those stairs, now let’s camwhore! From left, KakYun, KakLina, moi, and KakLeza.

Being here in Gua Tempurung reminds me a lot of memories when I was here more than 10 years ago with my friends. By the way, perkataan 10 years ago tu sound sooo muda kan? Hehe. The landscape outside was quite different, but other than that (inside the cave), the whole thing was still the same. Of course, it’s a cave right. Haha

One of the things that you need to know before having an adventure inside the cave is, there are more than 700 steps here, going up and down. So, you can decide whether you want to stay in, or walk out of the cave. I have not done this kind of activity for a long time, so I was not as fit as I used to be. Kejap je dah out of breath! When I stepped inside the cave and walked 50m deeper, I could see the amazing view inside. Stalactites and stalagmites, both are beautifully formed into beautiful sculptures. There was one looked like a man wearing a turban (Osama, as what they called it) and others. You can see various patterns on the cave walls that were also formed into some amazing carvings, such as a giant turtle and snail, a woman, a man led the solat (imam) and the makmum behind him, and others. They were all so amazing that words couldn’t describe how amazing they were. I’m not exaggerating, really. Subhanallah!

We spent more than 3 hours in there, climbing up and sliding down, walking in the dark with torchlight in our hands, crawling like a crocodile in the water to avoid being hit against the stalactites, entering a very small hole (lubang tikus) to go to the lower level of the cave and etc (as for the lubang tikus part, I bet my hubby couldn’t fit through it haha). It was sooo fun! In fact, it was better than the last time! Thank God the water wasn’t that smelly but it was sooo cold.

Now, getting down babeh! Curamnye hoi!

Sliding down! They said the height is about 20 feet.

Sampai bawah lutut longgar terus! Haha

This is what we call ‘Lubang Tikus’. Kecik gila kan…

Be careful kids…

Done with lubang tikus, we were now at the bottom of the cave. Time to get wet fellas!

Cikgu Bahrin, one of the male teachers (2 org je kot cikgu laki) with his pair of jeans in the cave. Cool x masuk cave pki jeans? Haha

“I’ve been crawling in the dark (in our case, in the water as well), looking for the answers..” -Hoobastank

Resting for a few minutes here..

My friends, my shoes and I.

Yeah, out of cave and back to civilization!

Once we got out of the cave and felt the touch of sunlight against our skin again, it was now time to get back to reality. Arghhh! Feel like staying in there. So calm and peaceful. Not even a sound of a bat. Owh yeah, they slept during the day, I forgot.

So, we took our clean clothes from the bus, showered and changed before having lunch. It was so hot outside that my wet T-Shirt dried before I even showered. I didn’t get to buy any souvenirs here because I spent most of my time queuing in the toilet. Huh! That place was full of students from Penang, Kedah and also Pahang. Crowded!

By the way, there are many things that I learn from this caving experience. How water play the most important roles to create the amazing view and how the limestone hills and hard rocks ‘listen’ to the water. Somehow, looking at the bizarre rock formation that caused by the water in that cave, made me felt touched at this natural phenomenon. Of course we have been told this kind of story many times when we were little (at least I was), ‘camana batu yg keras tu boleh lekuk disebabkan air’, but seeing it yourself before your eyes, it was totally a different feeling. It was like, this time you really believed in it. This thing taught you, ‘nothing is impossible’. What is important is the will, and how bad you want something. Hmm… This phenomenon is very close-related to our life, isn’t it?

At 2.30 p.m., we got on the bus and continued our journey to next destination, Cameron Highland.
Will be continued in my next entry.

Sunday, Please Stay Here Forever… (random title)

It’s 7.40am. It’s still way early in the morning for me. For a sec, I’m like… What the hell am I doing up soooo early in the morning?? Everyone still continues sleeping.. Except ayah. Hm… Last night, as I have mentioned in my Twitter, I slept in front of my laptop. I was reading Kaka’s tweets but you know, cos they were in Portuguese, I didn’t even bother to google translated them coz I was soo sleepy. So, I just kept staring at those tweets… until I realized it was already 1.30am. It was already dark. I saw my sister. I asked her if the kittens were already in their cage yet, my sister said no, so I ordered (yeah, not asked, I ORDERED) her to put the kittens in their cage. Then, I heard my mom asking, if I already performed Isya’. I couldn’t really remember, so I said yes, which actually meant no. I couldn’t get up and pray, I didn’t have the energy, and if my mom kept pushing me to, I know I would explode.  So, I set a quick alarm, at 3am, for me to perform Isya’. Yet, at the back of my mind, I know I would NOT wake up. And……….. I was right. I woke up at 6.30am. God, please forgive me… I was not strong enough to resist all the satans who were with me, last night….

So, that’s for the introduction. What do you think? Too honest?? I haven’t warmed up my brain yet coz it’s still early, so at this hour, honesty is the best policy.

Last few days, I attended this English course, called Program Peningkatan Kemahiran Bahasa Inggeris (PKBI), especially for new teachers. The name of the program, it sounds like the course is meant for teachers who really cant speak English, right? Haha. But it actually gave us tips on how to teach the students especially Year 6 (UPSR candidates) to get better marks in English Paper 2 (the writing part). Some of the tips, I already know them (thanks to my babe, Mdm Teh), but the good thing is, I’ve made new friends there.. Hmm… Overall, the course was just a repetition of what I’ve learnt in college.. Some of the suggested activities, I’ve already conducted them during Micro-Teaching session when I was in Aussie. That’s why the course was quite boring for me. But whatever lah! I’m a new teacher… Dengorkan je la…

Nways, I have few things to share here. When I was bersembang2 with my group mates, suddenly a teacher from the next group asked my name, and when I said Emy, she told me that the Ketua Unit Bahasa Inggeris Daerah wanted to meet me. I was like… SHIT! Did he see me bersembang2 or what? I nervously went in front and met him. He asked me, if I’m a graduate which I said yes to, and long story short, he somehow knew that I once studied TESL in Aussie. I asked him back, ‘What’s all this?’ and he told me, he wanted to build a new team for this district. I was like…… HAAA??? Don’t ever include me, please. I’m not planning to settle down here. I’m planning to move, next year!! Plus, I’m not the person who like to conduct courses, give talks to other teachers how to tackle your students or whatever, I wanna lay low. Since I was at the college, I liked to lay low. Gosh. Hope he was just kidding.

And yesterday, there was Seminar Teknik Menjawab UPSR (again) but this time for Bahasa Inggeris. My subject. My school invited this Guru Cemerlang Bahasa Inggeris in our district to give talks to my students. His name is Cikgu Feisal which we called, Sir Bob. Few things were a bit contradicted with what I’ve already known, but I got them clarified and I think overall, the seminar was quite okay la.. The students enjoyed it……. Except for some students, of course. :-p

And after the seminar, I sort of discussed with him things that I should do to help my weak students to get more marks in this paper, and somewhere along the line, he invited me to be the Pemeriksa Kertas Bahasa Inggeris UPSR for next year (if UPSR masih wujud la…), and I just laughed, but my heart screamed NOOOO!!! I would get a really bad headache, I know, plus, I just realized I have migraine now, so marking the UPSR papers, that wouldn’t be a good thing, would it? That’s what I thought. But my GPK yg ngok ngek tu, he immediately told Sir Bob that he WILL sign me up for being the Pemeriksa Kertas UPSR, next year, after sah jawatan. Damn! I refer the thing to my babe, Mdm Teh, she said I better go for it. She again said, let me just quote her, “No one will tell you how to mark exactly, but if you do it, you at least have some ideas what is requested in the paper, the marking scheme and it’s good for your students”. Well, she didn’t say it this way, I rephrased it. Haha. So….. Takpe la… If this really happens next year, I’ll just accept it. It’ll be a new experience for me..

Okay! Enough about that. I’ll tell you now about my cats. Hmm… Those kittens are getting bigger now! And more playful. And stubborn too! Skrang dh pndai tanak masuk cage. Berani melawan dah. Haha. But sometimes, you know when they were playing the whole day, run here and there, catch this and that, at night, they would sleep berguling2 dalam cage with their mother. Lena btol. There’s this a very calm feeling deep in my heart. Feel soo bahagia. Hahahahahah. I told Mr.Gonzales about it, and he said, ‘Amboi bb ni… X sabar2 je…’ Whaaatt?? I didn’t mean it that way lah! Ape laaa… Haha!

The kittens.. I haven't named them yet...

This one looks like Omei... Right..?? And it's also a he...

My Omei

Here are the things I bought for the kittens, the cage, the food and scented sand, the shampoo and etc.

The food.. But now, I actually turn to Whiskas lak...

Some more food, and the shampoo.. Shampoo tu saje dok gatal2 beli..

The new cage.. The kittens are getting used to it..

Well, since Omei died and I crushed so badly, I decide to take a GOOD care of these kittens.. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t take a GOOD care of Omei before, but you know, sometimes bad things just happen.

Okay! So…. I think that’s all for now. Kejap lgi nk mandikan kucing2 ni.. and basuh sangkar diorg. Ari ni last ganti puasa. And this time mom promises me mi bandung muar, conditionally. I go get the ingredients! Hehee.. Very well, mam!

Okay! Babaiii….

I’m Not In It To Win It, I’m In It For You

–The title of the entry is actually a lyric from If It’s Love by Train, which I’m listening to right now. I dunno if it’s related to the entry.. but……. erm……. yeah! Whatever!–

( Background Music- Leave The Pieces by The Wreckers, Wake Up by Hillary Duff, This Afternoon by Nickelback, Life Goes On by LeAnn Rimes, The Only Exception by Paramore, If It’s Love by Train. )

I always have trouble writing the introduction for my entry. I know I always start with something like this, ‘Hi there! It’s been awhile I last updated this blog.. Bla bla bla..’ Right? Getting sick of that line. So.. There! My introduction. I’m actually talking about writing the introduction, for my introduction of this entry. Whatt…??

Well… Today, I had Seminar Teknik Menjawab UPSR for three subjects which were Bahasa Melayu, Science and Maths. English seminar will be held next week, because of time constraint. We cant pack everything at one day, that’s for sure. So, as you can see in my Twitter page, it was actually very boring at first, but then, after few hours, I started to enjoy it. Some of the input given by the penceramah reminded me when I was in Year 6, preparing myself for UPSR, just like them. Nways, during the Science seminar, the penceramah gave the students tips about the changes in litmus papers caused by acid and alkali. Well, I remembered learning this topic, but my teacher had never told me this.It’s actually quite an interesting tip. It’s from the word, SAMBAL.

<–SA.M.B.AL–>

SA represent acid, M is red (Merah), B is blue (Biru) and AL represents alkali. If the litmus paper changes from blue to red, it means acid (read from B to the left), and if it’s otherwise, red to blue, it means, alkali (read from M to the right). Well, it is interesting! And I’m glad that those students now have easier way to remember this.

After the seminar ended which was at 5pm, I quickly met my tailor, which I called Auntie. I wanted her to make me a very beautiful engagement dress. Actually, I’ve already bought the kain months ago with my sis. The base colour is cream colour, decorated with sexy red sulaman/ kerawang or whatever you call it. It’s beautiful. Why did I choose cream colour as the base colour? Well, I’ve asked few experts (tokey butik2 pengantin) about what colour is the most suitable colour for engagement. Most of them told me, it’s whether white or cream. It’s the current trend. It’s simple (coz it’s only an engagement ceremony) but at the same time, it looks very nice and I would say… elegant! Well, of course I don’t wanna be behind the trend, so cream it is. And why is it with red sulaman/ kerawang? Coz I like red! It’s something to do with Liverpool. Haha!!

Chifon, cream+red

The pearl cream coloured lining...

Actually, I wanted to post a picture of me wrapped with those fabrics by the salesgirl at Jakel, Shah Alam (in front of everyone at that bridal floor!), but… It was too.. funny! I’ll just post it later.

Auntie said, baju tu siap in October, coz now she’s busy making raya dresses, which I dont really mind, coz the engagement day will be almost in the end of the year, so I’m not really in a hurry. It’s just that… I can’t wait to see the dress!!!

And honestly, when I was driving back home, I smiled from ear to ear! I was (still am) sooo happy!

Let’s Do Some Catchin-Up #14

Yeah, finally! Haha.. I miss blogging. That’s the truth. Forgive me for neglecting this blog for quite some time. Erm, I did post few entries, but those were not the proper entries, but hey! I’m back! Hihi.. So, yeah, I wanna share with you so many many many things! Like things that I have been doing at school, things I have been doing at home, things I have been doing with my money! Erm, my convo grads, and the list goes on and on and on and on..

Well, erm.. Let’s start with school stuff first. Like a month ago, I almost ruined my teaching career with something stupid. This one student at school was being really rude to me. He cursed me in front of other students when I asked him to behave in class. So, I slapped him. I was angry you see. So, he called his parents to school and I had to explain to the parents what had actually happened at school. The parents couldn’t take it, and blamed me bla bla bla.. Long story short, the student was called to the discipline room and later he apologized to me. I asked him what was he apologizing for, I asked him to remind me what happened coz I already forgot. Actually I just wanted to see if he knew the reason he apologizing to me. He cried, but didn’t say anything. Finally, I just took his hand (dh lama gak dier hulur tgn nk salam) and he said sorry again, and after that I asked him to get back to class. Honestly, the thing that he did to me, I couldn’t easily forgive and forget. I still have this menyampah uncomfortable feeling every time I look at his face. So, I ignored him in my class. I didn’t bother if he understood my lesson, I made jokes with other student, we laughed together, except him. I totally ignored him. The truth is, I’m still hurt. Just imagine if your own student curse you, ‘BABI’ in front of other students, can you just forgive him? Just like that? (If you can, teach me how). And recently, he scored the lowest mark in his English paper 1, for mid term examination. 8/40.

If you hate me, you find other teachers!

I’m wondering.. Is it his own fault? I mean, like a balasan sbb menderhaka kepada guru (me) so ilmunya tak diberkati oleh Tuhan.. Or is it my fault? Coz I cant fully forgive him for what he did..??

Okay, that is one of the stories that I wanna share here. Not really a fun story, I know.

So… Let’s move to something more fun! Teacher’s Day! Yeah! This is the first year I celebrated Teacher’s Day! As a new teacher, I kinda expected that I would get lots and lots of presents (hihi. perasan btol!), and yeah, I got soo many presents from my students. Like a mountain of presents!

This is only half of my presents.. Haha

But trust me, until now, I still haven’t unwrapped all those presents though Teacher’s Day was like two-three weeks ago. Hehe. They are still on my table, nicely. But I’m planning to unwrap them tonight, if I got time or to be exact, if I’m rajin. Haha. Owh, I remember what did my GPK HEM say when he saw me with those presents, ” Tgk tu.. Cikgu yg kena serang dgn penjaga yang dapat paling byk hadiah.” Hahahaha. I just laughed. He is a very nice man. In fact, he was the one who backed me up when I was being ‘attacked’ by the rude student’s father. Whatever problems I have in school, he is the one that I feel so comfortable to refer to. He is really like a father to me. And recently, he told me he wanted to hook me up with his son who is a doctor. He said, ‘Nasib baik ko ni dah ade yg punyer, kalo x, memang saya nk jodohkan ko ni ngn anak saya’. I laughed so hard.. He was just joking, I know. But I dont care, I already have my Mr.Gonzales who is the best for me. And only him, I wanna get married to!

Erm.. Mor fun stories… Ow yeah! I’ve been addicted to online shopping lately. Who should I blame for that, huh? I think I’ve spent more than 1.5k, just for blog-shopping. Crazy silly me! It started with those super cute bracelets that I found on this random website, and after I’ve made the payment, I started browsing some more shopping websites. Then, I found cute bags, cute cardies, cute necklaces, cute this, cute that, all cute stuff! At one go, I spent more than RM800. Gilaaaa… Then, I moved to shawls. I started feeling addicted to buy shawls. Yelah.. Shawls sepuluh hinggit je, so asek beli je la.. X sedar kalo dh asek sepuluh hinggit, sepuluh hinggit, lame2 dekat RM200 gak. Deng! So, as the result, I have quite a collection of beautiful shawls from various colours. Looking at them, the guilt that I feel (coz spending so much money for blog-shopping) vanished straight away! Hahahah

Few things that I bought.. Ade lagi byk, but tak payah la upload sumer.. Haha

Long Printed White Cardie from Buttons

Pink Hand-Made Bags with Ribbon (ssoo very cute!) from Buttons

This necklace, sooo cantik! Hehe. From Buttons

Velvet Black Dress With Cream Roses from Buttons

*Well, most of my online stuff are from Buttons (except for shawls), coz the Buttons stuff are mostly so cute!*
Visit here, BUTTONSMYBUTTONS

Okay! More stories, two weeks ago, my mom, dad and sis had gone for umrah. So, while they were there in Kota Suci Makkah, my sis’ maid was here at home accompanied me. Her name is Kak Melda. She called me, Cik Imy, coz my nieces and nephews calling me that nickname. Haha. It felt so good to have a maid at home. When I got back from school, she already cooked me lunch, the house was already clean and tidy, the carpet was vacuumed and etc. The only not-so-fun thing was, I didn’t get to watch TV coz she conquered it 24/7. Not that I mind coz as long as I have my Fifi with my Streamyx, I’m fine. Hehe. So, during those two weeks, I’d been ‘ulang alik’ from Sabak Bernam to Shah Alam. I spent my weekend at my sis’ place since my parents were not home, so we did some shopping, girls day out.. It was fun! And I think I have improved my driving confidence!

Then, CONVO! Erm.. not much to tell actually. My robe was too big for my size, coz I was late for registration so I could only took whatever sizes left in the room, and honestly, I don’t like our university robe. It’s ugly. The ugliest among the five unis. Eyy… What are you saying, Emy? Be grateful that you got to wear one during your convo! X bersyukur betul lah!

Erm.. I didn’t get to catch up with many people as everyone else was so busy with their families, (so did I) but luckily I still managed to meet up with my besties, Salina, Eqa, Ponnie and Nurul. Not forgotten other people, Lorex, Alan, Jujue, Ayie, PakNgah, Fat, Sue, Jannah etc. And of course, Mr.Gonzales. I don’t have to mention that name right, of course I met him. I would be crazy if I couldn’t meet him, my beloved. Haha. So, all in all, the convo was great, thank God my mortar board didn’t fall when I was on stage. Thank sis for the beautiful flowers, I love them even though dah ade yang terkopak kopek. Tu la.. Yg you guys gie beli bunga kat majlis convo UiTM Shah Alam tu watpe.. Ingt diorg x jual bunga convo ke kat IPBA? Haha. So funny!
Lastly, CONGRATS COHORT 3!!!!

Yeay! Us, the graduates! From Victoria University, Queensland University and Auckland University!

Qutians!!! Jan, Lynn, Ponnie, Emy, Sal, Nurul, and Eqa!

At the hall, Mr.Gonzales, Emy, Eqa and Ayie

*Credit pictures to Jannah, and Nab. Time ni I had my camera with me, but I stupidly left the battery at home. Mang bodo btol. Ade gak gmbar kat my sis, tpi x upload lagi.*

Okay, now let’s get to something ‘sporty’.
(Owh, on Disney Channel now is UP!!! My fav!!!!)

It’s been  while since I last talked about football in my blog. I mean, when was the last time I did that? I cant remember. The thing is, for this last season (the season that just ended several weeks ago), I was ‘merajuk’ with my beloved team, Liverpool for their bad performance in this last season. I was not eager to watch the matches as I used to, I hardly read the match reports after every game, and I didn’t even bother if they won or lost. I know, as a so-called loyal supporter, I shouldn’t have reacted that way. But… Hmm..

Nways, Benitez is leaving the club. People say, ‘Benitez leaving the club’ was a mutual agreement between him and the Liverpool Board. It is a decision agreed by both parties, but I believe it is actually a nice way of saying that he was actually sacked from his job. Well, it was due to the fact that Liverpool finished 7th in EPL, after being 2nd to Manchester United last season, and also being disqualified to Champion League this time. It was a terrible season. So, Benitez had to leave the club as the board did not want him there anymore even though his contract was actually until 2014. With Benitez leaving Anfield, most probably Gerrard will go to Real Madrid. I mean, Gerrard?? He’s not just a regular The Reds player, he’s the key player, he’s the skipper! What would happen to Anfied if he leaves Merseyside?? That is just insane! I couldn’t ever imagine Liverpool without Gerarrd.. Mr.Gonzales said, Maurinho (Real Madrid current manager) admired Gerrard since he was the manager in Stamford Bridge, he tried to sign him then, but Gerrard didn’t wanna leave Liverpool, so now, at the state of Liverpool’s desperation of money, they have to sell their top players to balance the club financial condition. Maurinho looks at this as a golden opportunity to bring in Gerrrard to Bernabeu, as he still admires the skipper. Seriously, I dunno what will happen to Anfield. The Reds without Benitez, without Gerrard (it’s not confirmed yet but who knows), it’s hard to imagine. And it’s not impossible if the Spanish players left in the club, like Torres and Reina will join the exit of Anfield.. Hu..

The Best Manager in Anfield

Will never forget this miracle.. Rafa will definitely be part of it forever..

Okayla… Enough about that. Let’s talk about FIFA pulak… Yeps, the upcoming World Cup, South Africa 2010.

South Africa 2010!

Which team are u supporting guys? Whether I like it or not, I have to say my first team would be England. Hey! Don’t say it’s cliche! Beckham is not on the team this time, okay? Nor is Owen. It’s because of my Abg Gerrard la! And.. Yes! Because I like him in Liverpool, so I must also like him in England. I have to support The Three Lions!

But… honestly, I dont think England will be able to lift the world cup trophy this time (Africa? The weather? English players? Comon! Do the math!), I’m aware of that fact, but I still support them because I love whatever they bring to the table. The styles, the WAGS thing and maybe some dramas. Who knows? Haha. England has always been my first team, at their best or worst condition.

And my second team, will be Espana!! The first player that I admired in Spain team was not Torres, but David Villa, in Euro 2004. I noticed that Torres was also a good striker, but I liked David Villa more. Plus, I have always thought that Spain is a very descent team. Haha. I always like to think that in a tournament, there will be bad groups, and nice groups. So for bad groups, I imagine that they always play dirty tricks, arrogant, cocky and not cute! Haha. Like France and Italy. I will never ever ever support those two teams. Yucks! And Spain on the other hand, is one of the nice and descent groups in World Cup. Reason? They’re like very quite, very descent, respect other teams, and actually very powerful without having to play tricks. Haha. Spain is like a cute cat among a bunch of.. dogs. Haha. Doesn’t make sense? It’s okay. This silly thing is supposed to be in my head, only, so it doesn’t matter if you understand it or not. Just thought of sharing it with you guys. Hehe

Okay la…. I’m running out of things to say now.. Hm…
