stoke city vs arsenal

a test of our mental strenght and our character after unexpected and dissapointed draw against low class spurs....stoke city will play direct football and expect them to bombard arsenal with setpieces....wenger has indicated that there will be rotation and expect kolo toure to start to beef up our defense...for me, djourou will be suitable to counter setpieces...expecting the team to bounce back..2-0 win will be nice..

"kekasih kuseru" last episode..

season finale last night for kekasih kuseru one of the best that I have seen so far...obviously there are lots of quality being put to produce this horror drama series.. well done to the whole production team ...of course the most influenced character is none other than 'waris'..i thought once he is put to death for good! than walla!! happy ending..towards the end,this crazy woman, character played by kuza brought him back..crazy.. but at least there is going to be a season II? hopefully..

Next Game: Against Spurs

local derby match against spurs will normally turn out to be a classic encounter..last season we did a double against them in the league but we lost in the carling cup match.. before bolton game with Ramos still incharged spur may look like an easy target for arsenal but with Rednapp in the house as the new manager with an immediate impact of recording their first win of the season against bolton, they may think they can put up a fight against arsenal which make tommorrow match becoming more interesting..other than top team clashes (MU, Chelsea & Liverpool), this is the match I'm looking forward to watch...for me we are now in better position of hammering spurs for good as lately we have started playing consistently and the injured players are getting back.show no mercy to them gunners..come on gunners..and beat them we shall..3-0 would be nice...

update: 4-4 draw..threw away 4-2 with 1 minute +5 minutes extra to go..what a let down..i'm speechless..

win!

staying up late watching last night match arsenal against west ham..eventually turned up to be a winner..what a game? we never give up and continued with our passing game..as the stubborn opponents getting tired and ran out of gas then they started to make mistakes that led to the first goal and next the task becoming easy and our supersub-ManofThe Match adebayor scored the second goal..final score 2-0..just to add that finally liverpool broke chelsea's undefeated home record at Stamford Bridge with a deserved 1-nil win..all I can say that the blues never turn up for the game and benitez's game plan worked smoothly last night..though liverpool fan can proudly say that they are the biggest winner in the weekend but for arsenal, with MU and Chelsea dropping points we can rejuvenate our season and try to catch liverpool to be at the top of the league again..

"working" sunday

its sunday but i 'll be going to office this afternoon..don't ask as it is mandatory?..anyway got to fetch my mom,dad,uncle,aunties and cousins from the airport this evening..They should enjoy their holiday trip to Kota Kinabalu ..I also like KK especially of its seafoods and there is one sport shop overthere which sell variety of arsenal shirts which is not available here in Kuching..obviously most of the people here are fans of the other top 4 teams..london derby match tonight as arsenal will be facing west ham..a convincing win is expected..come on gunners!

win and win again

comeback win against everton..everton first took the lead due to our sloppy defense but the team managed to fightback in the second half and scored 2 goals through van persie and winning goal by unstoppable walcott...next game was Champ League game against Fenerbence..deserved win as we outplayed them and won 5-2...five scorers for that day adebayor,walcott,diaby,song and lastly 17yrs old remsey..classic game and really fun to watch...next 2 games will be interesting as we will face our london rivals,west ham and spurs..couldn't wait especially our game against spurs..

preview_arsenal vs everton

international break finally over..now is time for business as usual..next home game for arsenal is against everton..with sagna, gallas and bendtner will be out for 2 matches due to injury, arsenal defence will put with a stern test for our defense..of the three, sagna will be badly missed..djourou can take over central defense..while vela can be our supersub..i really hope that king fabregas could play and score..my prediction is a narrow win for arsenal 2-1...

things to do during raya break





just to say that i'm happy that I'm still on my raya leave..done plenty of things:"balik kampung" to my parents' house in sibu ..my kids really enjoyed their time in sibu..in fact sibu trip is always fun especially when driving for about 7 hours all the way to sibu.. spent 4 days in sibu then back to kch on the sixth days of Hari Raya or Syawal... jammin' was one of our pastime activities during my university days (90s)..back then hardcore, punk plus british indies influenced our band..the songs that we covered among others from or favourite hardcore + punk bands such as earthcrisis, downset, sick of it all, shelter, operation ivy and etc...with old band members (alem, hermz, apez and myself) back in town during this raya break, we managed to regroup and jamming for 2 hours..really enjoyed ourselves and ran of energy maybe due to age factor..maybe it can be organise annually and next raya we will jam again!
