This week is coming to an end, the week began quite fine for me but it all went downhill ever since. I am now ending this week, down with a heavy flu...my nose is running like crazy and it causes me to sneeze a lot...urgh.. Aside from that, thanks to the running nose, my throat is also affected. Those were what I battled the whole day but there is more as my joints are starting to sore and I am having diarrhea too. Just great...too great!!! Just hope I can shake all these off as soon as possible...so sickening! Only thing for me to look forward to now is the Arsenal game tomorrow, please at least grant me an Arsenal's victory. Take care people. Signing out

A combination of two days
(this post was written on two separate days...on the 17th and the 18th)
Finally, the bloody interlull is over and done with, no more international football for now where potential injuries would happen, in Arsenal's case, it is almost certain at least one would come back injured, this time its Bendtner but the other big guns came back fine so not too bad this time. Well, later tonight, Birmingham City will visit the Grove, what happened two years ago is still fresh in my mind, first thing tht would come into my mind is the Eduardo's injury, not going to post the picture of that incident here because it is really disturbing. When the incident happened, I did not watched it live as it happened because I think my dad was watching some other programme before my turn, by the time I watched the game was already the second half. Eduardo would not be involved in this game due to an injury so does Martin Taylor, the one who broke his leg who is also out with injury. Secondly and thirdly, as these two cases would have a really strong connection which was the very, very cruel and wrong penalty call on Chichy's challenge. He got the ball cleanly but the referee awarded the penalty to Birmingham, it was the 90th minute and the game ended 2-2 and Gallas's outburst at the end of the game...from then on, that ever so promising season when all the way downhill, a real turning point indeed and by the end of the season, we lost both Flamini (for free) and Hleb...Well, this time around, let's just show that we've grown from that incident and keep pushing high up the table!!! GO GUNNERS!!!
Well, as for this post, I am writing in the college so I am going to publish it when I get back (as I cannot locate the college's WIFI) because I am here to work on the assignmnets given, it is crazy really, three group assignmnets and the due date is drawing nearer with every passing moment while at the same time, progress on the assignment is not really there...Ever since the mid-term, althought I am kind of used to the life as a university student but I am still very unaware of the exams date most of the time until the lecturer actually remind the class. So, still having problems with that.
Recently, I procrastinate a lot, seriously a lot. I just could not get myseld started on the things that I actually set out to do immediately. From daily chores to my course work. What is happening to me huh? Mid-age crisis? But I am way too young for that excluding the fact that more white hair is growing on my scalp which makes me look kinda old.....sigh~~~
Alright, write till here for now, can't wait for the return of the Premier League!!! Well, that I would never procrastinate =P.
(enter the 18th)
Well, the Arsenal won, I did not watched the game live as the bloody broadcasting crew of ESPN and StarSports will always put the Arsenal as the last choice among the other 'Big 4' as they are less television value so to speak, but last night ended with Chelsea and Liverpool losing while the MU game bored the living daylights out of me and Arsenal won with the most goals scored last night among all, a 3-1 victory and DIG THAT!!! Goals came from van Persie, Diaby and Arshavin, well out strikers are scoring regulary now so that is good news but Walcott got a nasty knock so hope that is no big deal. Not going to write much about the game because I did not managed to watch the match or the highlights at all so I could not possibly know what happened. But the Liverpool game was hilarious, they lost due to their own fan's doing, by punching a beach ball with a Liverpool crest on it that eventually deflected the ball into the back of the net. LOL!
The beginning of another week, all I could say is that at least some work were done on the assignments. Gotta keep that up! Nothing much to write about today as I spent my afternoon in bed...now I may not be bale to sleep at night...just great. Signing off guys, take care.

And the wheel keeps spinning
Updates on the the previous post I'd written. I done some more research and I further cut down on my choices on the phone that I wanna get. Well, there are only two realistic options left for me, why did I used the word realistic? You'll see ;p.
Ok, starting out in the blue corner!....oh wait, cut that....The first contender would be *drum roll*...........*pop* Still the Sony Ericsson W995!!! Well, decided to stick to this rather than W902 mainly due to the fact that W995 feels nicer than W902. Too bad W902...

*that's the baby right there =)
Next, perhaps I would not had thought of it if not for my brother to enlighten me. It would be the HTC ToucH Diamond. Well, its quite a cool phone both exterior and interior just that I am worried about the battery life span which is quite known for not being very long lasting. I did not had a chance to hold the real thing just now as the shop ran out of stock of this model and they also couldn't provided me with an actual price on the phone...what great help huh...
*the white Diamond
*the black Diamond, I prefer this one
As for the unrealistic choices, it is none other than the Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1 and X2. X1 is nice but X2 is just SWEET~~~! Problem is, X1 cost around 2K while X2 is not even out in the market yet.....so, better luck for me next time I guess...
The X1
The X2
Ain't the X2 just look HOT!!!! hehe, maybe I'll get it in the future...*drools*
Dilemma
This, could be by far the worst holiday I'd ever been through and yea, its not over yet. A week of pure boredom and no football!!!! Well, not going too well in the relationship as well, she is stressed out while I am bored to death, not a very healthy combination...The only thing that went quite ok was the gathering with my CIMP friends (gotta come up with a new term as we are not in CIMP anymore...oh well) which was also an early celebration for Alyssa Ding's 19th Birthday!!!! Happy Belated Birthday Alyssa!!!! Then the usual futsal on Wednesday, we had barely 10 players so we had to last throughout the night which had several injuries which did not help. I even kicked an injured played on the ankle (the injured one some more), purely accidental, I never intended to hurt him and I felt like shit after that. Overall an "ok" night, my game is opening up and learning new things everytime, hope this carries on.
Anyway, back to the topic. I am in a dilemma......I am looking for a new phone as my mom's is dying and she wants mine. Well, mine is not really in a good condition so might need a little bit of service before handing over to her. Well, my parents are generous this time as I think they are going to sponsor my new phone but I think I'll chip in some as well. So, my options are now open, never really planned to get a new phone so I am kinda lost at the moment but I was able to pin down my choices into 3. I am not really a fan of Nokia but I am open for suggestions. My choices now are the HTC Touch 3G, Sony Ericsson W902 and Sony Ericsson W995. Below are my thoughts.
Alright, first up is the HTC Touch 3G, a 3G phone without a 3G function...nice eh? Well, its a smart phone to begin with, with the iPhone around these days, this can only be the minnow among the giants. Well, iPhone is beyond my wildest expectations and I am not really a fan of it as well. So, sticking to this, a 3.15MP camera with no autofocus is kinda turning me off. The only ups for me are that....its a smart phone? touch screen? a unique experience? internet access?

*the 4 colours of the HTC Touch 3G
*this is how big the phone is
Next up, the Sony Ericsson W902. This is one phone that I had been eyeing on for quite some times but the price ain't going down!!! Well, a candy-bar of a design, nothing fancy but the buttons on the side, not really a green light from me but the rest are quite ok for me. It can support up to 8GB of memory, supports 3G, a 5MP and autofocus enabled camera and lastly, its a Walkman series. I am a music lover so that would work for me. However, I can't connect to the internet with this and no GPS as well....nothing is perfect I guess.
*that's the phone, I like the looks of the phone
Lastly, the Sony Ericsson W995. Well, it is a pretty strong contender in my wish list as it has got most of what I want. Its a Walkman series, large memory space, 8.1MP with autofocus, and I could finally connect to the internet with this phone (if I go for it). However, yes, the drawbacks...the price is an issue. It is a slide phone, the durability of that slide is still a question as all this while I am using candy-bar. Lastly, at first glance, I did not like the 4 little buttons on the front but I am kinda ok with it now.
*that's the baby I was talking about
So, which one should I get? or are there anymore good ones out there with reasonable price? Help?

Post-match =D
The smiley says it all does it? On the day which its impossible for Arsenal to lose, they did not. Its the day where fans, present and former players, under the tutelage of Mr. Arsene Wenger's 13th year in charge of the gunners. Before the game, I wished for a 7 goals rubbing on Blackburn, the game went one better, it produced 8 goals. It ended 6-2, a win nonetheless but the best Arsenal performance so far this season, in terms of attacking. A perfect present for our manager, more the same please.
The game actually did not start according to plan, Blackburn took the lead twice but on this day, there will only be one outcome, which is a home win. Goal-machine Thomas Vermaelen added another sublime strike to his name when he bulleted the first goal. Van Persie added a second and soon follow by the third by Arshavin. The next three goals came from Fabregas, Walcott and Bendtner respectively. The man-of-the-match wass Fabregas, who was involved in the first 5 goals as he was already substituted when the sixth went in. He contributed 4 assists and a goal. So those who doubt him, now just shut up!!!
A very good day for me indeed as I had my hair cut just that my sideburn are gone....Oh well, it'll grow back. Below is my picture after my hair cut :

Pre-match
Since the Arsenal game is later, so would leave the review for later, since there is nothing to review about now.hehe
Well then, I just write something to spend a few of my minutes waiting for the game. I am going to get a hair cut, going for a shorter one this time around. Hope it turns out right. Actually, I was supposed to cut it last night but sadly, after driving all the way to SS2, the salon is not open!!! Well, its due to the Mid-Autumn Festival, at least that is the logic I see behind it. So, my current hair is still with me as we speak. May post the picture of my new hair cut here tonight, provided I do not look bad or silly with it on my head.hehe
Holiday is upon the SBL students, after a hectic week 7, where we had all our assignments due and mid-term papers to sit for, its finally time for us to catch our breathe a little for a week. Something unfortunately were to happen though, as my fellow Indonesian friends are packing their bags, preparing to go back to their home's comfort during this period of time, the fact that they actually got their passport to go back to their home meant the world to them as I witnessed, Felicia, my classmate, as one of those unfortunate ones who did not get their passport back. Yea, I went to the Internation Student Office (ISO) with her and Leni. She wasn't the only one that left heart broken, there was another guy there, who failed to get his passport back. So, this got me wondering instead, eventhough my Council's term is coming to an end, we actually did not played any part as the liaison between the students and the management of Sunway University College. Well, upon the thought of this, I began thinking what I could actually do under the name of the Council, discussed with Eugene and found out that this matter is quite common and we may even be dealing with the government. Quite a big issue when it comes to dealing with the government.
So, if this is quite a common issue, not just in Sunway itself, but other institutes as well, why is this still happening today? I had decided to give this case a go and see what comes out from it. Will need to do some extra research on this issue as well, but I am not giving up until I try. Quite frankly, it doesn't feel nice, seeing people from other countries coming to our country and being a victim of our inefficiency...When we want to go home, we could just easilly do so but for the international students here, going home, which is what every living soul holds the right to do, is such a big challenge...Cheer up yea Felicia! Promised I would help you to do something about this so I'll discuss this with my advisors some more then come up with the best solution to ease of your and other internationl students' headache in this issue.
Moving on, I would be going to Genting at the end of this month with Michelle, my two ever so lovely, high, not to mention hot as wellnemesis besties in Veron and Sue while not forgetting the others like Yvonne, Yip, Alex and Shen Ee..very much looking forward to that, just that there is another proposed trip to Genting, this coming Tuesday!!! With my classmates, two Genting trips in a month...my wallet is going to scream~~~.Still working on this Tuesday, but I do not mind going twice as its with two different groups, two different experinces and double the fun!
Write until here for now, going to update tonight on the game. Take care!
