I wasted my time and money to watch a very boring movie at Alamanda Putrajaya while the Red Devils were playing the first half of the Carling Cup final last Sunday.
As soon as I got back to Cyberia, I watched the final 30 minutes of the game and yes, I managed to witness Rooney’s winner goal, courtesy of Valencia’s cross.
Glory glory..

And I’m not telling you which boring movie it is. :P
Proper updates to come real soon >_<

This is an inspiring story of an obsession of a young man that’s finally his possession.
WARNING: Very nais shoes ahead! And they’re poisonous. :P
After admiring it for many months, I’ve finally decided to grab it home even though it doesn’t come cheap.
The first time I got to know the Nike 5 T-series was last year when the Al-Ikhsan promoter introduced the Nike 5 Zoom T-5 to me. But I was too poor a kid to afford a two hundred over sneakers.
Then I discovered T-7. The highest grade of all of T-series and costs a bomb.
I instantly fell in love with it. The design, the colour, the materials – T-7 became an instant obsession of mine. Thus, I embarked on a journey of searching for T-5 and T-7.
I checked with Nike retail and other sports stores in KL but all are out of stock. When asked whether more were to come, they were puzzled themselves. In Malacca – the famous Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlawan, I searched, but to no avail as well.
Maybe there’s none left in Malaysia, I thought, but in Australia T-7 might be residing. I asked for a friend’s help who was coming back from Perth. She did me a favour and went searching for my dream shoes at the Nike Factory Outlet of Harbour Town, Perth.
But yet, the search ended in vain. I was about to give up and settle with Adidas Sala before forummer mentioned about T-7’s new colour model that had just been released. He even took a picture of it.
I couldn’t wait no more. Went to Sunway Pyramid the night before I flew back to my hometown just to test the T-7. Looked, touched, smelled, felt, wore, tested, tried, satisfied. I just couldn’t wait to own it, even if it costs a bomb.
Even it costs a military jet engine. Or maybe two. Oh well, like I care.
At that very moment, I couldn’t imagine not owning it.
The next afternoon, my dream came true. I put on my spanking full kangaroo leather made futsal sneakers at the court – proudly, arrogantly, delightfully. I felt as though I was the proudest man alive.
Every touch was brilliant; ball control was almost perfect – mainly because its owner isn’t =P
Most will tell you it’s crazy to kick balls using such an expensive shoes. Yeah, I think so too. I must be crazy. Totally.
These freaks got me obsessed to a point where there’s no U-turn. I think they call it a dead-end. Lol. Nike really did their job well to poison innocent kids like me.
For the money I’ve paid, I expect this pair of sneakers to last longer than a year. To maximise its durability, I shall only wear them in the futsal courts instead of wearing them everywhere, with an exception for the coming Chinese New Year.
Because I’m so broke now I can’t possibly get another pair of shoes for CNY.
The title above is exact the spoiler of the post. If you’ve been following my posts, you should’ve heard of (or rather, read of) T-7. If you haven’t already know, no, it’s not a motorcycle.
In fact, it’s actually a pair of futsal shoes which I’ve been admiring for almost six months now. I didn’t have the budget to get it at first sight, so I bore with it and when I decided that I’ll get them, I can’t bloody find them anywhere.
I went to shops in K.L., I couldn’t find them; searched in shops in Malacca town, but to no avail; and I even asked my kawan in Perth to look for it in Nike’s Factory Outlet, but again, the attempt ended in vain. I heard someone got T-5 for a very good price in Singapore, but sad to say, I have no contacts there.
Apparently the new T-7 has just been released. No changes to the designs; only the colours were tweaked a little bit and it doesn’t look any less seductive than its previous colours.
I haz itchy-itchy heart now.. 心痒痒
Someone from Kuala Terengganu posted the above picture on Lowyat forum and claimed that he saw it at the Al-Ikhsan near my place and another fler said he saw it in Malacca, and it costs a bomb – RM 359. Anyway, you bet I’m not gonna fork out that sum of money to buy a pair of sneakers for footy. No way for now.
I’ve asked for a friend’s favour to look for T-7 too, at a discounted rate of course and hopefully he’ll be able to get it for me before I finish my exam. That’ll probably cure a lot of boredom when I’m back in T’ganu again next week.
I’m not counting it every morning I wake up but it has been nineteen days since I last played futsal – probably my longest record ever. Lol.

The year 2009 waas the year I entered university. You know, if it happened in like 30-40 years ago, it would have been the talk of the town.
"Eh, lu zai boh? tu Ah Seng eh kia jip tua oohk lo.. Jin gao le!"
"Si meh si meh? Waa.. Anneh gao ar.. Jin ho le.. Tappai tak chek liao eh ki Sinkarpoh zho kang jin ho leh!"
Direct-translation:
"Eh you know or not? That Ah Seng’s son went university le! Really smart!"
"Really?? Wow, so smart.. Very good le.. Next time after graduated can go to work in Singapore. Really good le!"
You can find this no where else. Syok sendiri at its best. Anyway, since it was 2009 and enrolling in a university isn’t something big these days. Anyone can study in university. All you need is a few Credits and lotsa money. (the latter obviously comes first)
Throughout my days in Multimedia University, I’ve met plenty of people and made quite a number of new friends. Not to brag or to boast, but I’ve done pretty well academically for my first and second trimesters.
Holding a CGPA of 3.9, I’m currently sitting for the last examination for foundation year before I move on to first year Degree next trimester. I’m sceptical about maintaining my CGPA this trimester, but I guess I’ve done my best for now.
In the same year, I got into a relationship which is still lasting to date. Still going strong, of course, and I can’t ask for more.
Also, I became a part of Rebels futsal team before joining the Rebels Football Club earlier this trimester. Met plenty of people who plays good footy through the process and it’s sad to say I can’t be representing the team in competitions for I’ll be transferring to Cyberjaya campus after next week. Or else there might be a chance for me to shine in the sport I’m most passionate in.
Before I moved from Terengganu last year, I brought along a pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor futsal shoes that I bought from the bus station (not genuine, of course) for fifty bucks. And believe it or not, to date, I’m still wearing that very pair of futsal shoes even though they’re almost worn out already. I’ve no choice because I didn’t have the budget to get a pair of new shoes.
In September, I fell in love with the Nike Zoom T-5 futsal shoes. Later, I saw T-7 and instantly I dropped T-5 from my wishlist. However, I just couldn’t find it anywhere. Not in KL, not in Melaka, not in Terengganu, and not even in Perth, which is very, very sad. Maybe I shouldn’t have thought twice when I first saw it at Al-Ikhsan. Damn!
I was admiring the shoes so much I kept talking about it to the people around me – my mom, my close friends, my futsal kakis, yada yada.
I frequented Sunway and Subang Jaya so often that now I know the roads there. And I’ve driven from Malacca to Shah Alam for debate tourney with the guys from debate. It’s like I’m so used to travelling between Malacca and Subang Jaya/KL, it became my third home. Lol.
In May, I travelled to Kluang to visit some relatives, but didn’t stay for long because I was rushing home for holidays. I flew for the first time on an airplane in April, and in August I flew to and fro Kuala Terengganu from Subang Airport via Firefly. That made it three times on the airplane. Oh, I just love to fly.
And guess what? Next week I’m gonna fly back to Terengganu from KL and return to KL from Terengganu a few days after that by flight too. Flight tickets are getting so dirt cheap nowadays you’d really ditch the double-decker Sani Express for AirAsia’s Airbus.
Err.. Seriously, no thanks.
Anyway, I shall update on my 2010 to-do list during my short trimester break next week. Plenty of resolutions in mind now, and I can’t wait for Chinese New Year to come!
Alright now let’s keep the CNY songs rolling. =D

Update (Feb. 8th, '10): Links fixed.
I don’t know about you but I’m certainly feeling excited and I can’t really wait for Chinese New Year to come.
During the upcoming Chinese New Year – the year of Tiger, which starts on February 14, I’ll be already doing my degree in MMU Cyberjaya. That’s if everything runs smoothly. Currently, I’m studying almost like mad because final exam is next week!! There’s about six days left before the exam starts and despite failing to be fully prepared for it still, I have to say I do not plan to fail as consequences of failing are worse than what I can imagine.
Studying all day and night is stressful. Other than taking nap and lurking on Facebook in between studying hours, I found one way that actually lifts up my spirit to study as well as to release a little bit of stress, if not a lot.
I listen to Chinese New Year songs as I do my revision.
Seriously! Chinese New Year songs are indeed very relaxing. Well, at least that’s what a guy, who’s desperate of holidays and who just can’t wait for Chinese New Year to come, thinks.
Anyway, I did some googling work the other night and found the CNY albums by Astro, MyFM and 988’s celebrities. There are plenty of new CNY songs I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to. Following are the links to download:
For 《988虎甲天下過好年2010》 - Download link (44MB)
For 《MY ASTRO-舞虎扬威大日子》 – Download link (43MB)
For 《2010年 8面威風全星頌》- Download link (30MB)
Alright now, let’s keep playing CNY songs until it’s over!! :D *dances to CNY songs*
Disclaimer: I found these links on the internet and am not the original uploader hence if it happens that the links above aren’t workable, you gotta go do the googling job on your own =P Please don't hesitate to share this post with your friends and colleagues if you like it.
