Sorrow ending

22 Jun 08

This morning was the day where I watch my dear Netherlands crashes out of Euro 2008. 1-3 After extra time losing to Russia.

They were simply outplayed by Russians who are headed by Guus Hiddink (who mastermind the South Koreans 4th WorldCup 2002, Aussies QuarterFinalist WorldCup 2006)



Dutch's defence was exposed by tall Roman Pavluchenko. 4 defenders plus holding midfielder couldn’t be there to cope with in-form Andrei Arshavin.


It is pity that Arjen Robben could not play due to injury. But why was Ibrahim Afellay not in XI, instead Dirk Kuyt who is a slow striker placed on right wing? Shouldn’t a defensive tactics be used? Why was Orlando Engelaar taken off when Andrei Arshavin required much more attentions? Have Dutch watched the vids "Russia VS Sweden" of how the Russian roam around the field as if they are playing home?

I was still holding on hopes when my idol RVN levelled the score... Well, final score matters the most.

I am absolutely devasted once again as Netherland choked during the knock out stages. I’m utterly sad by today performance. I thought we could do better. But... I'm not sure if I still have the mood to follow through the Euro to finals without them.

Nevertheless, thanks to all Netherland players who brought us to this stage and all the thrilling matches we had (Especially VS Italy and France). I really hope that the new incoming coach will be someone like Guus Hiddink or Scolari or Lippi. We simply need a old warrior rather than young ex-player without much experience.


Hup Hup Oranje Holland!! TotaalVoetbal still rules!

Phew... So close...

12 Jun 08

This morning, I was doing an inspection on rooftop of a 12th storey block of flat.

I was checking with my eyes shifting left to right. As I am walking on the secondary roof slab, one of the concrete cube (supporting the secondary slab) chipped off, and my feet sank along with concrete slab. Twisted my ankle, and I fell forward.

Felt the great pain on my right palm... But I only come to realise that I was only lying a metre away from the edge of roof. Can't complain. Well, it is part of my job. Probably I'm too 'lucky'.. Now even feel the pain on my palm as I sms with my thumb. *Argh..

After that moment, I certainly will hesitate for a while should the next time I am required to access the ROOFTOP.

Are you feeling better now?

6 June 08



31 May 08,

Dad and Mummy will not forget this date. Do you know how shocked I was, when I saw you lying sideway, struggling to stand up.

"Dad went to do a research when we first notice that you are suffering from hair loss (Jan 08)... I was truely at loss when I saw your illness. I told Mum that we could be losing you soon. We tried whatever we can to prolong your stay with us. But...

I still can remember when Mum and I brought you at Parkway pet shop on April 2005. You are the most lovely one! I love you because you are the only one who doesn't bite!


We are indeed grateful that you gave us 3 of your bubbly babies. But you still remain our top fav! *Ha!!"


So the day comes, when you decided to take a long long break. Mum & Dad were really heartbroken. But we are glad that we are there to accompany you till your final breathe.. Mum insist to carry you in her arms when you saw your tired soul. Her tears came flowing down uncontrollably as we watched you lying there. As you struggled for help, Mum & Dad felt so helpless. We tried comforting you but it all seem useless. You turn your back to face Mum and Dad for the final time before you lie still there. Our hearts were torn apart, this is the first time we ever drop our tears for you.



We couldn't help it but keep on brushing our fingers through your fur, because we know, this will be the last time we can ever do that.


So down goes the small spade on the turf, every inch I dig, the more I don't bear to leave you. As Mum placed you down, can you feel her drop of tear that fall on you? Or you are already standing beside us, whistling away for our attentions?


Even up till today, we just bring ourselves to forget that day.


I rubbished those thoughts of how we can prevent you from this, or why have we not done to build a healthy you. For now, I only pray hard that you had happily hopped up the stairs to heaven and already met your youngest son. (At least we know you won't be alone up there.) I hope that you are back to that flurry self. Whistle out loud that you are free from pain. Lastly, I certainly hope that you can remember all the bits and pieces of Mum and Dad during your 3 joyful years with us.


I will like to say for the last time.... We will love you always.. Take care...
