Evening News

I've been meaning to post these pictures(from The Star Newspaper) a while back. As you can see it isn't hot news. Nonetheless, I feel that if I'm going to write about anything, I have to write about these things that happen in our beloved country.

3 men decided to rob a jewellary store, and 2 other men ended up dead. Just like that - without warning. Life is so fragile, isn't it? One moment you're thinking about going home and watch the World Cup; then the next thing you know death is near. 2 families are left behind.

This family had been facing financial problems. Husband lost his job a few months back. Don't really know what triggered the mom to want to commit suicide, along with the 4 children. 2 managed to escape. I wonder if the other 2 even knew what's coming. I wonder if anyone offered to help them get back on their feet. I wonder if I would give to this family if they came to me. I know something needs to be done, but I don't know what.



Anyone thinks that cutting out suicide scenes would help? If this would help, then we shouldn't publish news that talks of people jumping down from a tall building. Then CSI shows would have to be banned, because they give details on a murderer's ways. They even mention what mistakes a murderer made that led to his arrest - so would that help other murderers from avoiding the same mistakes? Not forgetting the local shows that depicts how the husband beats up his wife.

Are tv shows the main problem? I don't think so.

Yup, in spite of the increasing crime rate, we still want more nightlife - for the tourists. I believe that the majority of tourists that come to Malaysia wants to enjoy the Malaysian life - how it is like to live in a Malaysia... Isn't that why people go to different countries? To experience the culture and way of life over there?

As far as I'm concerned, there can be only 2 activities that Malaysians do after midnight - Sleep/Eat. Hot Nasi Lemak at 2am in the morning, baby!! Syokness!!

A Quote

The World Cup 2006 - Semi Finals (2)

France 1 vs Portugal 0

 

Wow!! What an exciting match!! I saw the replay, and knowing the results beforehand did nothing to put off the excitement the game brought (maybe my Winning 11 did).

 

I have nothing much to say about this match lah. Zidane's penalty was superb lah. It was always curling away from the goalkeeper. Had it not been for Thuram, though, Portugal would have had won the game easily. I'm very happy that France is in the final and I'm really hoping for a high scoring match.

 

Ok now I have somethings to say. Don't judge me. Judging from this match, I have a few suggestions for the French team manager that would make their game against Italy a great one.

 

_ Replace Abidal with Silvestre. Abidal conceded possession in dangerous areas and defended poorly.

_ Replace Barthez with Coupet - or you'll be staring calamity in the face!!

_ 4-5-1 has served you well throughout this competition. Now Henry would need Trezeguet as his stricking partner to break the Italian defense.

_ If you insist on going 4-5-1, then you'll have to make Cristiano Ronaldo french and replace Malouda.
