The one with an injury i don't need

After years being blessed with good health and physical condition, I guess its finally taking its toll on me. For once I suffered an injury where I can't say when I will return. But I'm hoping to be out for a week, just rest and no physical games for the week.

Suffered a back injury last weekend during futsal Saturday. No idea how it happened. I did my usual warm-ups and stretching. Early in the game, I felt my back gave way. And now I have trouble bending over when I pray and also tying my shoelace.

I don't need this sort of injury now. Just as I was finally finding form and rediscovered my game for basketball (had a great game on Wednesday). Also we plan to play in a futsal tournament next month, and I can't actively take part in the training sessions.

For now, I'm just going to let it rest.

The one with the derby win

Finally a reason for Spurs fan to rejoice. After 11 years, we have recorded our first win over rivals Arse-nal. A 2-1 win at home, gave fans a lift after the FA Cup exit.
Our first goal, from a youngster making his premiership debut, Danny Rose. After the Arse keeper punch the ball out from a corner, the ball fell nicely into the stride of D-Rose. Most people would just control the ball with their first touch and knock it back into the box. But young Danny decided to whack it into the goal. The whole stadium (as well as those watching on telly) went nuts. A contender for goal of the season. And this was after 10 minutes.
Our second, was a goal by our in-form player, Gareth Bale. A great time to score his first of the season. A tap-in after a defence splitting pass from Jermain Defoe.
Late into the game, our goalkeeper, Gomes kept us in the game with a number of world-class saves.
A game to remember, which I've transfer ed the highlights to my ipod for future viewing.

The one with another season down the drain

Another season has almost come to an end. But as a Spurs fan, it probably has ended. After an impressive start, we ran out on empty again.

Sunday's loss in the FA Cup semi-finals ended all hope of a trophy this year. It was very frustrating losing to a team who are already relegated and couldn't field 11 healthy players on the field. The loss can be attributed to a lot of factors - the ref, the horrendous pitch and our injured list.

Indeed it was a sad day for the Malaysian Spurs forum, everyone was down in the dumps. Some called in sick as they couldn't face work. I for one avoided all new with regards to the games. Even stayed away from the blogs.

Looking back, we started well then lost our way, then found our way again, but the cost during our 'losing our way period' proved very costly.

Our best hope, to finish fourth, but with a tough run-in, I don't see where our next points are coming from. Not sure if the players can lift themselves us for one final push.

Still, I'll always be a Tottenham Hotspur fan till I die.

The one with the first post from my new toy

Finally I bought a laptop. Since desktop Mark II is put off till a later date, I figure I get something as a filler.
A lot to do, as I have to set up and install a lot of programs, the itunes, winamps, messengers and etc. Also have to put up the wallpaper I use for my machines, Calvin and Hobbes.
Short post for now, still a lot to do.

The one with the post where I can't think of a suitable title

Welcome April 2010. Welcome the unfriendly me.
March 2010 was one of those months where everything went wrong. Too many to list down, which resulted me in being the unfriendly me. I set my playlist to emo and angst mode when I take the train in the morning. And as April begins, there signs of improvement look dim.
Workwise everything has gone downhill. Think I should update my resume and start sending them out again. The political play going on at my workplace is too much. I'm just one of those simple folk. I just do my job and I'm done. I don't care in your quest for power of over-throwing people. And I for one do not pledge my loyalty to anyone.
I think the work issues got to me after they sent me to some teambuilding exercise, which was a total waste of my wasted time. I surrounded by dinosaurs, people for have been with the company for donkey years. I don't mind that, but they just haven't changed with the times. Times have changed, its a bigger world now. Just let it go. Or just do what I do, leave the company. Why make yourself miserable being with people who you resent. Just let it go and move on (which is what I'm plotting at the moment).
The wedding preparations itself will start taking its toll on me. Now I remember why I didn't want to go through this process in the first place. Its to bloody expensive! No one understands the simple I mean when I want a simple reception. Yes I know, my friends all warn me about it being a parents gig and all I have to do is stay out of the way. All I wanted was a one day event (for both the nikah and reception) with just around 50 guests. Why invite the whole planet? And I'm not a fan of all this local traditions where everything is expensive.
The cost of these things are really getting to me. I am one of those people who probably enjoyed being single too much that I can buy anything I want. All the toys and gadgets. I must have more toys than NASA. Now I have to sacrifice and put aside all that. Not an easy adjustment, especially when Mark I has come to an end. Besides, why spend all the money on one party, when there is a lifetime to go.
With three months to, I doubt I can enjoy any weekends till then. Everyone seems to be concern with the event, but the main thing has yet been done. The registration process. I am more concern about that than the other arrangements. The HIV test, the endless amount of forms and such, the meeting of the jurunikah. And people say I'm not looking at the big picture. Point of note, for the state of Selangor, you can start registering 3 months before the event. Which is exactly by next weekend I have to start doing the necessary.
Another note, after making some progress getting lighter, I got heavier again, as all the stress has made me go for some comfort food.
I guess I'm feeling way down because of too many setbacks and too many things that I could rely on has failed me. Need to pick myself up.
