plenty has happened since i last posted.
sat (19/11) - man utd says goodbye to one of the best players to have ever played for the club. roy keane, the epitome of everything man utd stands for. he is the old school midfielder which is a rare species these days. hard tackling, no-nonsense is his game. at his prime, he was a box-to-box player who feared no one and even at his age now, he does not shirk from a tackle. a true leader and a fighter. he will be missed. and let us remember him for all that he has done for the club.
sun (20/11) - on a positive note, i went to watch the A1 GP in the afternoon and it was a hell lot of fun! it is no match for F1 for sure but the race is more exciting in A1 and with the right kinda publicity, it will surely be one of the best race series to come. i mention publicity because sadly, the turnout was dismal. i dun think the grandstand was even filled to 30% of its capacity.
as for alex yoong's performance, he came in 5th and that's not a bad try considering team malaysia beat team usa, japan and great britain - teams from countries that are technologically more advanced compared to malaysia. but you know wat's the best part of it all? the support! oh yeah, we got behind alex and we were loud and clear about it! when he came into the pits after the race, the cheers of “malaysia boleh!” rang out as though he has just won the race... and the feeling of unity among fellow malaysians was overwhelming... =)
on the other hand, after returning home from sepang, i went for a game of futsal with my friends. after a really long break from the game, this would be only my 2nd game after last weekend. and after playing for bout 30 minutes, i had a collision and as i fell on my sprained ankle, i heard 3 loud "cracks". i dunno how to explain that noise but it was definitely followed by pain! damn, it's been a while since i felt that amount of pain. i retired from the game and i had difficulty walking after that.
mon(21/11) - when i woke up, there was a sudden rush of pain in my leg which almost brought tears. so i decided to pay a visit to the chinese doctor. after 2 hours of waiting, it was finally my turn but the moment he touched my ankle, i had no idea why i even bothered waiting. it hurts like hell! according to him, my ankle was out of position. dislocated i guess. and after massaging for bout 20 minutes and assuring me that the pain was all over, he pulled a stunt which i will not forget for some time. i dunno wat he did but he twisted and pulled my ankle to get it back into position. i thought i was gonna pass out. damn. although at the moment, my ankle actually does feel much better, i still dun feel thankful yet. maybe i'll thank him later when i can forget the pain.
and things just go from bad to worse. when i checked my e-mail later that night, i realized that the philips young inventor's challenge result was out. yup. you guessed it. i wasn't in. but wat pissed me out was the fact that out of the 15 semi-finalists, 12 came from the same uni. i dun wanna mention names here but something doesn't feel right. i dunno. after so many tries in all the engineering comp, all this failure is starting to make me feel kinda small. am i no good at all? damn once more.
ps: i actually got my result for last semester during the past couple of days too but i forgot when. it's better than i expected but recent events have dampened my mood to celebrate.
