sir arif fiqri in the cockpit

Normal service resumes in F1 as defending world champ/ jim's nephew Sir Arif Fiqri stormed to a convincing victory without much of a fuss. The young Bolehlander started from pole, had an untroubled fight to flag victory, and bagged the  race’s fastest lap with 1:41.852.
Sebastian Vettel, who had no answer to the pace of the sambal-belacan powered engine in front of him, was a distant second for Red Bull Racing, 24.20 seconds behind. Scuderia Ferrari's Fernando Alonso completed the podium.

ClipOfTheDay: "AYAM"

Waiter: "How would you take it, sir?"
                                                        Alex: "Well done! "


RED (faced) DEVILS yang sombong & bongkak was ayam-ed last weekend



btw, did u guys watch the incident-packed Monaco GP later that nite? damn...as far as i could remember, that was the most thrilling F1 race on the streets/waterfront of Monte Carlo in years, with more overtaking than anyone had dared before due to the constraint of tight walls and corners

u could watch the race hilight here


CAMPIONI D ITALIA 2011!

Forza Milan!
18th Scudetto...ah respecto Rossoneri

stoke part 15: SCUDETTO showdown!


update! : Milan 3 Inter 0
Alexandre Pato's double and Antonio Cassano penalty saw Milan beat Inter... gained a significant advantage in the title race with 7 games remaining.It was an eventful match with passionate tifosis, end to end action and 2 red cards!

watch match highlight below 


part 15 of the stoked series
the infamous 2003 UEFA Champions League Semifinal  derby
it doesn't get any better than this:
the top of the table clash between eternal derby nemesis Milan and Inter

the Rossoneri are in pole position in Serie A with 62 points from 30 matches, two points clear of second-placed Nerazzurri. With only 7 games remaining, the showdown would certainly tip the balance of the Scudetto, not to mention the ultimate bossing bragging right in the province of Lombardy

read match preview and probable line-up here

talking about the derby (often dubbed as 'Derby Della Madonnina') i would like to revisit a classic  encounter back in season 2004 when Inter was leading Milan 2-0 (goals by Stankovic and Zanetti), only for the latter to score 3 times and won the game! (Tomasson, Kaka, Seedorf). 
Checkout hilight below, especially the long range missile strikes by Kaka & Seedorf.  
Epic stuff!

[AgainstTheOdds]story of a bunch of no-hopers

inilah barisan kita yang ikhlas berjuang...we salute you!
*update* checkout this cute blog-entry courtesy of ontd football

who would have taught that after the 1-5 humiliation by the Indonesians in the opening game of the AFF Suzuki Cup, the Malaysian youngsters fondly known as 'Harimau Malaya' would go all the way to clinch the title...beating the same opponent 4-2 on aggregate in a two-legged finals

it was an xtraterrestrial achievement that is simply breathtaking considering [1]the inexperience of the players..the entire backline is between 19-23 [2]the absence of 10 regular players due to variety of  injuries...the untouchable rita rudaini/ayu raudhah brothers included [3]getting the better of regional favourites Thailand and Vietnam on the road to the finals was no easy feat...so a huge kudos to FAM for finding the right winning formula

[pic credit: armayaphotography]
the euphoria on the Malaysian Football Team is at an all time high, bringing back the glory years of 70-80s golden era when we were among the powerhouse of Asia... so its no surprise that the Contingency Planning & Management of MANGGA and URTV are currently contemplating the next action to manipulate this situation... be afraid, be VERY afraid :]

part 13 of the stoked series

Tuesday Nov 30, 3.55 am
Astro Supersport Ch 811
probable line-up
Barcelona (4-3-3): Victor Valdes- Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol, Maxwell- Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Andres Iniesta- Pedro Rodziguez, Lionel Messi, David Villa

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1):  Iker Casillas- Sergio Ramos, Ricardo Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo- Sami Khedira, Xabi Alonso- Mesut Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria- Gonzalo Higuain

 former Real, Luis 'Judas' Figo, on his return to Camp Nou, El Clasico 2002
players to watch:
Lionel Messi (Barcelona, 13 goals in 10 games): Given his recent form is it right that he is considered to be one of the top two players in the world (alongside Cristiano Ronaldo). Was immense in the 8-0 destruction of Almeria last weekend, scoring three and laying on two, plus he also registered against Panathinaikos in midweek. Indeed, Messi has scored in his last nine matches for club and country.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, 14 goals in 12 games): Just as Leo is Barcelona’s talisman, ‘CR7’ has been close to unstoppable for los Blancos this term and has matched his great rival goal for goal. Just as Messi scored a hat-trick last weekend, so did Ronaldo, who has been in wholly remarkable form since the beginning of October. The 25-year-old surely has a massive role to play in proceedings on Monday. Justifying his tag as the most expensive player in the history of football

INTER CAMPIONI D'EUROPA

as a Rossoneri supporter, i would like to congratulate city cousins Inter Milan for winning the 2009/2010 Champions League.
Beating Bayern Munich 2-0 last nite, it was Inter's first European triumph since 1965

Why? Asian Cup Qualifier
Where? Al-Shahab Stadium, Dub**
What? Illegal immigrants cheering on their old-country when pitted against their adopted land

Verdict: Adopted land won despite steel resistance from the visitors. As usual the referee was the easy meat. The atmosphere was disturbed by chants such as "referee bodo","referee kayu","referee makan babi" etc.
It was a fun nite indeed!

this blog entry will irritate you, reading it while listening to '2009' by The Swellers might certainly help! (click play on the clip above)

Barasti, Dubai Marina- 31/12/2009
so I'd like to raise a glass to 2009, which all in all has been a phenomenal year. A lame recap of whats gone through my last 365 1/4 days or so:

CAREER suicide

a vital cog that consumed most of my 24 hours. For the 20th consequtive month, i'm currently based in dubai.
since last january i have been kick-out from the comfy of office spaceship into the hazardous environment of construction site battlefield.
working long hours, 6-days a week, and currently 7-days a week the toughest year yet, profession-wise
(the above might be an attempt to explain why this blog, which i started in 2007, is less frequently updated now...haha)

interest: MOVIE
- top 3 of 2009

Hurt Locker

No 3: The Hurt Locker

plot:Iraq. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of
war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where
everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb



an edge of the seat stuff from the word go. Gut-wrenching, pulse-pounding, tension, just mere understatement description of the movie.
All aspects of film-making are top-notch, from the brilliantly
subversive screenplay through vivid cinematography, masterful directing
and perfectly paced editing, even the famed film critic Mr Roger Ebert listing it as #2 in his top 10 movie of the decade. go watch it

No 2: 500 Days of Summer

500 days of summer

a romantic comedy? wrong.
as the narrator put it: 'u should know upfront that this is not a love story'

the pair of Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Tom) and Zooey Cutesy-Deshanel (as Summer) were in top form.

i just wonder weather there would be '500 days of Autumn' after Tom bumped into Minka Kelly (the hottie from Friday Nite Lights) in the end

btw this film talk about architecture and The Smits a lot...thats quality!
checkout, first the 'Ikea' scene, and then the bank dance(!). Definitely indie flick of the year

No 1: Inglourious Basterds

Basterds




everybody is looking for Quentin Tarantino or Brad Pitt goods, but in the end Christoph Waltz aka Colonel Hans 'Jew Hunter' Landa came out with guns blazing.
I wrote about this flick here so i will rest my case
An epic masterpiece, a head above the rest of 2009 release

with jon jamel at AC Milan Training Camp, Dubai January 2009
interest: SPORTS
like most hot blooded male on the universe i am into soccer, F1, NBA etc, and yes...i read from the back pages to front everytime i grab a newspaper.

and last january was a particular highlight for me since a team from the Italian Lombardy province, a team that i supported since hi-skool, the only team that i am willing to die for, came down to Sheikh-land for their winter training and a friendly match. Oh, btw the team name is AC Milan.
star-strucked? i got to rub shoulders with my idol, the italian living legend Il Capitano Paolo Maldini along with fellow Rossoneris Kaka, Ronaldinho, Pato, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Beckham etc (blog entry here)
season 08/09 ended with Milan winning nothing (3rd in Serie A). Paolo retires after 20 years serving the club. Kaka became the second most expansive player in history when he was sold to Real Madrid. Allanatore Carlo Ancellotti has moved on to EPL, currently Chelsea boss.
The master is back
the return of the master
On another front Jenson Button won the F1 title (i barely follow last season championship, the GP coverage here is almost non-existant), Tiger's Wood ran amok(!), Italy easily qualified for World Cup, and after 20 years Bolehland won the SEA games football, thanx to Rita Rudaini!

For 2010, i'm so pumped up for the World Cup in South Africa... and the comeback of the great Michael Schumacher after 3-year absence to F1 fold is a mouthwatering prospect for 2010 season.. he is now driving for Malaysian-backed Mercedes GP Petronas. I foresee a 4-horse race between him, Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) and Jenson Button (McLaren)...Kimi has now moved on to WRC

interest: MUSIC- lets talk about love
I f*cking love music. I love it in the form of punkrock & hardcore music. I listened to a lot
of older favorites this year. I listened to a lot of new stuff. I used to spent a fortune on imported CDs, but like any joe on the planet downloading now is like brushin your teeth.

I hope everyone out there loves music too. Loves it so much it transcends petty bickering and posturing.
Loves it in a way that makes you want to make the world look like all
your favorite songs make it look. And I hope that everyone loves it so much that you
don't take yourselves too seriously.

and this shitty blog talks lotsa crappy music that makes u wanna throw up n wonder whether this guy got any other subject to write about rite? haha
so head here for the best music of 2009, where i am concerned
