It never meant for us this time

Our journey to defend MCOBA Futsal title was cut short in the quarter final. We were beaten to a better team with quite a big margin 0-3. It wasnt meant for us this time. Even in the first round matches we ended only with 1 win and 2 draws. The 2 draws were with our regular rivals; Class of 97 and Class of 95 that ended 1-1 and 0-0 respectively. Both was a close match that can go any way but indeed we survived as the runner up at group stage.

The stats also shown that our attacking have been in decline. With only 2 goals in 3 games and both came from Zef ( a defender) showed that a lot has to be improved in coming days in order for us to get back on track for next year tourney. I wish we could start early this time and perhaps get ourselves familiarise with few 'setpieces'. At least, these setpieces could be our 'weapon' to survive a more faster and physical games which involve younger teams.

Anyways, the damage has been done. No need to cry me a river. Start fresh for next year, we will be back stronger and budwiser :)

As the pressure has been put off; now i can sleep tight-er. *sigh*

am i just not good looking?!

"sometimes the right person comes right in front of your eyes, you don't even know it"

Ok, this is not my original line to begin with. I re-quote from one of my favourite tv show then; smallville on episode 19 of season one.

..Lana went into the Kent's home only to find Clark in the kitchen. She were there to pick up something from Martha. They ended up with a conversation. Lana asked how' s everything going between Clark and Chloe. Clark replied that maybe there's something between them and he think they might go beyond just friend. It saddened Lana by the look on her face but she was very much try to hide it before she hit this punchline...

For those who are seeking love... maybe this is one good line to begin with. who knows your ladyluck?

after all i did mine on one pretty lady and we ended up being together... :D

guys,

"dont fall in love... RISE in LOVE"

...am i just not good looking?! *wink*wink*

TDM's UMNO resignation: the repercussions

Many would thought yesterday's event is a finale curtain for UMNO's existence in Malaysia (read: Tanah Melayu). People were confused and surprised by the latest action of TDM whom ppl recognised as a man of full surprises.

I'm also wondering; is this an act to get sympathy votes? or is it a genuine act from someone who totally lost faith in UMNO under Paklah leadership? I hope the action was not unintentionally done only due to one person request on the floor for Tun to quit. I am very sure the action taken is a calculated risk on TDM behalf.

Whatever being said and done; it has written again in history that another former UMNO president left the party. Pity. Whether his action speaks volume we could only understand in many days to come.

Without doubt, i will look this event in two different perceptives.

Act 1

TDM resignation will create a domino effect nationwide. More big names (esp. those who doesnt hold any position) to follow suit. Ordinary members who were saddened with the way UMNO dealt w TDM also will withdraw. UMNO MP esp from Sabah will take the opportunity to jump ship and left UMNO totally vulnerable for DSAI and konco2 to take over the reign of Federal Govt. Paklah will hold crisis talk and call for a snap election. Looking at Malay issue and Malay unity being jeopardised, Malay votes will swing back to UMNO to protect Malays rights and UMNO will be saved.

Act 2

TDM action only unites UMNO members to be behind the current leaderships. TDM is already past his prime and it is best to pledge support to the current leaderships until the next party election where UMNO members get the chance to vote the right leader for them. UMNO Sabah will never question about their rights anymore as most important at this moment is to see the best for the party. There will be no more talks on party hopping. DSAI effort to bring 30 over MP to crossover will be no avail.

whatever the repercussion, it seems already evident that it will in the end benefitted UMNO and I wonder is this a calculated risk or one sacrifice to the party he loved?

"Kita bukan soldadu yang perlu dikorbankan, tetapi jadilah soldadu yang memberi pengorbanan"

Terima kasih Tun, kerana sanggup berkorban.

TDM's UMNO resignation : What i have to say?

TDM announced his resignation here and this is how i responded in his weblog;

"Salam Tun,

seperti mana yang saya nukilkan di weblog Datuk AKJ, ingin juga saya katakan di sini. Apapun 'kejutan' yang Tun lakukan ini biarlah adalah satu tindakan 'calculated risk' demi memartabatkan kembali maruah bangsa yang sedikit tercalar.

Saya percaya sebelum ini sudah puas Tun mencuba dengan cara berlembut ibarat 'tarik rambut di dalam tepung'.. Sayang, pembesar negara cukup liat untuk menerima teguran2 Tun. Mungkin itulah yang dikatakan 'dugaan nikmat' yang Tuhan berikan.. Bukan semua pemimpin spt Tun, sanggup turun kuasa ketika masih popular.

Apa jua persengketaan antara Tun dan PM, janganlah tempelaknya itu terkena tempias kepada rakyat. Saya akan lebih sedih apabila keadaan itu berlaku.. lebih sedih dari pengunduran Tun ini dan lebih lagi sedih dari kekalahan UMNO pada PRU yg lepas. Saya pohon ada hikmah dari pengunduran Tun ini demi perpaduan melayu seluruhnya.

UMNO mungkin akan menjadi seperti GOLKAR di Indonesia, Congress di India mahupun koumintang di Taiwan. Peralihan kuasa dan pemulihan pendekatan merupakan cara terbaik utk menyelamatkan UMNO. Saya kira ini adalah pengorbanan Tun utk UMNO 1946 dan juga UMNO baru 88. Yang pasti menarik perhatian saya.. setiap 10 tahun masa berlalu UMNO pasti akan bergolak.. adakah 2008 akan menjadi titik penyudahan UMNO? atau UMNO mampu untuk terus bertahan hingga ke 2018?"

TDM quits UMNO; for now

It came as a shock when news flash within the net and smses that Tun Dr Mahathir (TDM) has quit UMNO, for now. He announced his resignation from UMNO during a meeting with fellow Kedahans. For someone who is so surprising, this would be an ultimate surprise from him. I wonder how many more would dare to replicate his action. 5...100, even 1000 UMNO members? We shall wait and see.

Update:

from rocky's bru - Sanusi Junid, the former MB of Kedah, someone who is very close linked to TDM in his latest crusade has also resigned from UMNO. Wohoo.. interesting.

Most of the prime bloggers has the report on TDM latest action. You could read it here , here and at Datuk Kadir Jasin.

I could only share my views on this latest event through my comment on AKJ's Blog

as the followings:

"Salam Dato AKJ,

Tindakan TDM kali ini begitu drastik dan mengejutkan. Namun pada hemat saya, adalah menjadi kebiasaan bagi TDM untuk melakukan sesuatu yang mengejutkan dalam usaha beliau mencapai sesuatu.

Saya amat berharap tindakan drastik beliau kali ini merupakan satu tindakan "calculated risk" agar apa jua yang dicitakan oleh beliau akan tercapai; walaupun tidak sepenuhnya, tetapi biarlah mesej itu jelas sehingga ke pucuk pimpinan UMNO.

Saya amat risau sekiranya tindakan beliau ini hanya dianggap sebagai 'tindakan menagih simpati seorang bekas pimpinan UMNO' oleh pembesar2 UMNO yang setia dibelakang PM malah mungkin ada yang lebih berani mengandaikan TDM sudah dihujung waktu dalam perjuangannya.

Namun begitu di satu sudut, perkiraan TDM ini mungkin akan memberi kemenangan moral kepada DSAI dalam usahanya menjatuhkan kerajaan BN yang sudah menjadi kucar kacir sekaligus mendapat majoriti mudah utk mendirikan kerajaan PR di bawah pimpinannya dalam waktu terdekat ini. Maka bekas mentornya, TDM wajar diberi ucapan terima kasih kerana membantu mempercepat usaha DSAI itu.

Di satu sudut pula, kelibat ahli-ahli UMNO yang selama ini bergantung harapan kepada UMNO sebagai wadah perjuangan akan keliru dan sedih dengan tindakan TDM ini. Mereka pasti dalam keadaan dilemma samada perlu mengambil tindakan yang serupa atau sebaliknya. Jgnlah hendaknya kerana pertembungan kepimpinan ini (TDM vs PM) rakyat yang tidak bersalah juga akan terkena tempelaknya.

Yang pasti tindakan TDM ini akan mengundang 1001 persoalan. Adakah Datuk Mukhriz akan mengikut jejak langkah ayahnya? Bagaimana reaksi Tengku Razaleigh dalam perkembangan terbaru ini? Adakah pendakwaan terhadap TDM berkenaan kes lantikan hakim akan dipercepatkan memandangkan TDM bukan lagi 'liabiliti' kepada UMNO? Siapakah yang akan mendapat "ketawa terakhir"(the last laugh)?

Senario politik Malaysia terutamanya UMNO memang tidak pernah lari dari kontroversi setiap 10 tahun semenjak penubuhan UMNO baru 1988. Ini merupakan satu pattern yang amat menarik perhatian..."
