Mainey’s Random Rants!!!!!

      Magnificent Seven, Fantastic Four
and Magical Comeback are the few phrases that can describe Manchester United’s
past 2/3 weeks performance. Yes, there was that draw against Boro, and the
back-to-back loss against AS Roma in the first leg of the Champions League
quarter finals and against Portsmouth in the Premier League, but all that can be canceled out by some AMAZING games!!

        After that humiliating back to back loss
against Roma and Portsmouth,
Manchester United bounced back in style by TRASHING Roma at Old Trafford in the
second leg of the Champions League quarter finals. Final score of the night?!
7-1!!!!! Goals came courtesy of Rooney, Evra, Smith and 2 from Carrick and
Ronaldo. Magnificent 7 was one of the headlines the next day.

       4 days later they faced Wartford in the FA Cup
semi finals where they won 4-1, goals by Ronaldo,

Richardson, and 2 from Rooney. Fantastic 4
was on the front page of the sports section in one of the papers the next day.

       Last night’s performance was an absolute
stunner! Manchester United was up against AC Milan at Old Trafford for the
Champions League semi finals but they were missing were their usual first
choice defenders, Ferdinand, Vidic and Neville. They had a brilliant start with
Ronaldo scoring on the 5th minute of the game. However, the United makeshift
defence fell apart and allowed Kaka to score 2 goals within 15 minutes.
Manchester United started the second half trailing 2-1 but on the hour Rooney
turned a cool pass from Scholes into a goal giving hope to the Manchester
United fans. The match went on for another half an hour with no more goals and
when it was announced that there will only be 2 added minutes the crowd at Old
Trafford expected it to end in a draw. A stunning shot from Rooney on the 91^st
minute gave the crowd something to cheer about and pulled Manchester United
ahead! What a goal!!! What a game!!! That’s what I call fantastic football!!!!!

     The
legendary treble is in sight again! Can history repeat itself?! Only time will tell!

Do you find it weird how you can be so up for having a good time out with your friends and then when you’re finally out, your mood kinda juz sinks to the lowest of lows, you feel like crap and juz wanna go home to bed? Yea well, kinda felt like that tonight. It was a friend’s birthday over the holidays and she organised a night out in town, going to the pub for a few drinks and out clubbing after that. I was well up for it, you know, all excited about a fun night out. Getting ready and listening to my music, but when we got to the pub and i had a drink, i juz started feeling really tired and juz wanted to go home to bed. It prolly didn’t help that i woke up this morning at 6.30am and my first lecture wasn’t until 11. I think my mind was juz sub-conciously worried about my exam results so i couldn’t really sleep last night. Went for my first lecture this semester and afterwards, me and 2 friends were gonna go face the music and get our results only to find out that it hasn’t been released yet!! Sheesh…..all the worrying and losing sleep for nothing!!! Time to go catch up on my sleep now. Got a lecture at 10 tomorrow….Laterz!!

Yeap. I know, it’s been a long time since i last wrote. To be
honest, this is the first blog i’m writing since i got back to uni and
what makes it worse is that the first semester is over already and I’m
having my winter holidays and it’s 2007!!!!! How time flies!! Btw, HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!!!!
A lot has happened since i last wrote. Some good, some bad, some happy,
some sad but ultimately, everything is an experience. If it’s bad or
makes me sad, I juz have to learn not to repeat the same mistakes again
or juz not let something affect me so badly again. All a learning
process.
Anywayz, enough with the sappy stuff. Life at the moment is not too
bad. Pretty quiet cause not many people are around in Guildford and i’m
down with a cold and a cough so haven’t been out much. But considering
how hard i was partying last weekend, my body’s asking for a rest and
so i have been resting. Until this weekend that is. Hehehe.
Also, what else which is new in my life at the moment is the fact that
i’ve been going to the gym! If you know me well enough, me going to the
gym would prolly be a shock as i used to HATE the gym but now, i
actually quite enjoy it!! I go about 2-3 times a week and during term
time i play squash twice a week too. So yea, pretty cool eh?? Maine
actually enjoys going to the gym. Hehehe.
Anyway, it’s getting late and i think the medication for my cold is finally kicking in. I’m getting a bit sleepy. Laterz!

England are out of the World Cup Finals. They played so well against Portugal despite Wayne Rooney being sent off and David Beckham being substituted because he was injured. They made it through to extra time without conceeding a goal at all. But when it came down to penalties, they juz couldn’t do it. Gerrard, Lampard and Carragher all missed their penalties. In the end, Portugal won 3-1 on penalties.  Sigh…….

I got bored at work so I decided to surf the net for new mobile phones. The 2 that caught my eye was the Motorola Motorazr V3i Dolce & Gabbana special edition. Check it out!!!! Cool huh?? Well i know the pic is kinda small but if you know what the Razr looks like then juz imagine it with the gold and black colours. Hehehe.   

The other one that caught my eye was the Nokia 7360 L’Amour collection. Thanks to my little sister, this phone has once again captured my attention but….i juz realised that it does not have Bluetooth so might reconsider it now. Sheesh….juz when i set my heart on something. Anywayz, the phone still looks cool. Comes in two different colours. What do you think?? I think the brown one’s cooler. But will think twice about it now cause it does not have "gigi-biru"!!!!!

We’ll see what happens when the time comes for me to change to a new mobile. Gotta run now!!!!! Laterz dudes!!!!!

Well well well. Guess what?!? I’ve been at work since 7.40am this morning and i have not been given any work to do!! Some of you may think that it’s better than having lots of work to do. But when you’re really sleepy and you can’t do anything apart from listening to your music, staring into space and doodling, it SUCKS!!!!! It doensn’t help either than i haven’t had a good night’s sleep since the weekend. Lemme think back…i slept at 4am on Friday and Saturday night. Sunday night wasn’t any better. I TRIED to sleep early but again failed to do so. And the same goes for yesterday!!!!! What is wrong with me?!?!?! I’m physically tired but mentally, i’ve got so much on my mind. And the harder i try to sleep the harder it is to fall asleep!!! Sheesh….. 

Anyway, i think that’s all for now. I’m off to see if anyone will give me some work to do or i’ll juz go read the newspaper. Laterz!!!!!

p/s: Thanks Juinn for keeping me sane and keeping me company with all the txt-ing the past few nights when i can’t sleep. Hehehe. Muacks!!!!! Oh, hope you sorted out those Differentiation problems!!!!!

Hello!!!! Yea yea i know. It’s been like, MONTHS since i last wrote but hey? I’m a busy, working gal!! Hahaha. So yea, I’ve been back home in Malaysia for the past 6 months and it has had its share of ups and downs, and its good times and bad times. Apart form that, like i said, i’m a working gal now. Managed to get a job at Infineon Technologies as an industrial trainee in the Finance dept. While i was working there, meet up with long time school mates (we went to primary and secondary school together). So it was really nice to catch up, go out for lunch together and my favorite, going for sheesa together. (You know who you are!!)

Also, another thing good about being back home is that i get to spend quality time with my close friends back from home. Going out almost every Friday night juz to catch up and chill out. Playing Snap! at Friends cafe has been so much fun!!! Hehehe. Being home means i get to brush up on my golf as well. Going on the course almost every sunday evening is wicked, but considering i’ve been playing so much golf, my game still sucks!!! Hahaha.  Saying that tho, golf doesn’t count as exercise at all so i managed to find some people to play squash with. Hehehe.   

Life without my uni friends kinda sucks. I miss playing squash with the likes of James (Ron), Vicky (Emu), Kirstie, Chris, Jo and so many other people. I also miss pub-crawling with them!!! Hehehe. Also, i’m missing John!!! One of my closest friend since first year. Someone who has seen me lose my temper (it’s not a nice sight i warn you!!!), seen me break down at the worst times and someone who i trust with my secrets. I miss him coming to my room to play on his guitar and ask me if the new song he wrote was any good (it usually is). I haven’t seen him in almost a year!!! I can’t wait to go back in September to see him!!!!!!! 

Also not being in UK this whole term means missing my Concord friends as well. Miss going to London and meeting up with Romeo, Jia, Dom, Patrick and whoever else i always meet up with for lunch. I miss walking around Covent Garden!!! I miss Romeo’s random txts about how he’s bored in class or how he’s falling asleep in class and how we always bitch on the phone to one another about all the annoying people in our lives. Hehehe.  I miss playing fooseball and pool with Jia. Miss her smiley face. Her cute t-shirts and her total obsession for Jap anime. Hahahaha. I also miss juz picking up the phone at any time of the day or night to call Shaz if i ever need someone to talk to. I can tell him all my problems and how i don’t know what to do and he’ll always say, "The best solution is to BLOODY open your mouth and TALK!!!!!! If you don’t talk how are you gonna solve it?!!" Hahaha.  So yea,  miss you like crazy Shazzer!!! When are you coming back!?!?! You have yet to come visit me in Melaka!!! And trust me, Melaka not BORING LA!!! Melaka damn happening. You can come play golf with me ok? I promise not to kick your butt!!! And Romeo,  you better come back to Melaka too alright?? I know you wanna eat satay celup!!!

Anyway, i think that’s about it for now. Juz wanted to let you all know how much you all mean to me!!! LATERZ!!!!

-Maine- Out!

Ever stop to think how life can suddenly be cut short in a split second? Ever stop to appreciate how much your family means to you? Ever thought of how the hell you would cope if you lost one of your beloved siblings? Well, losing a friend makes you think about stuff like that. Not only did it make me thing about how much I love my sisters and my family, also, how much I love my friends, and how a life with so much to go for in the future can be cut short in a split second. In the early hours on the 19^th of November 2005, a friend of mine passed away in a terrible car crash. He was only 19. I paid my last respects to him juz last Friday. I got to know him through his older brother whom I met at uni. We also went for the Surrey’s Ski and Snowboarding trip to Val T in the beginning of the year and that was when I got to know him better. He was an amazing snowboarder who made snowboarding look so effortless. He loved his cars and enjoyed life to the fullest.

May you rest in peace, Chris McKay (17.02.1986 – 19.11.2005) 

You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.

*Yawn* Damn man…..i’m absolutely shattered. So bloody tired!! Slept at 11 pm last night but this morning had so much trouble waking up. Almost fell asleep in my last lecture and got another one to go to in abt half an hour’s time….*groan* I think it might have been a combination of playing some intense squash yesterday and going to the gym everyday from sunday till tuesday. And no…..it’s not cause i’ve been partying hard…..last time i went out was Sat night. Can you believe that?!?! I used to go out like 3/4 times a week…now it’s like…whatever. Can’t be bothered with anything.

But Sat night was a good night!!! Went to East Preston, where my friend Dave lives. He was celebrating his 21st b’day so invited us down to stay with him and go out on Sat night! First we went for curry. WAS SO GOOD!!!! And then ate so much until all of us were SUPER FULL!!! Went to this club which is on a pier….so nice….but all of us were too full to go dance so we juz sat outside and chilled. At around 1.30 am then only we went in to dance….for abt half an hour before the club closed. Next day was so cool. Cause Dave lives by the sea…it was so beautiful to walk along the beach. Then we stayed on for late lunch which his mum cook. OMG!!!! She can cook! She made the best Banoffee pie!! YUM!! She also made this really nice spicy chilli prawns. Then we came back and felt guilty for eating so much over the weekend so all went to the gym….hahaha!

Anyway i’m off now. Gotta go look for my frens before my lecture. Ciaoz!!
