Who else thinks Fabregas looks like Sylar?

My step-dad was the one who pointed this out, can't really remember whether I thought so before he told me. So hey, who else thinks Fabregas looks like Sylar?




The footballer....



and the villian...



look like some kind of long lost twin brothers.

I googled 'fabregas looks like sylar' btw, and yeah, teh interwebs thinks the same..




Why don't they change places for a day, huh? I bet sylar could win the premiership single handedly.

Instead we have a guy who spits at assistant managers.

Murphy's Law is broken!

I was in a bus when Murphy's Law was broken (refer to Murphy's Law: Reds chances at Old Trafford). Which now means Benitez doesn't have to buy Danny Murphy from Fulham.
It wasnt broken by a goal or two. 4-1! I think Benitez just said to his guys before the game; "Lads, just pretend you're against Real Madrid today, and you'll be fine".

What a game. Just that I did'nt watch it.

Murphy's law: Reds' chances at Old Trafford

*Liverpool have struggled at Old Trafford in the Premier League era, winning just three of 17 league and cup games against Manchester United. All three victories came courtesy of a sole Danny Murphy strike, during a four-year purple patch.

*17 December 2000 Man United 0 Liverpool 1 (Murphy 43)

*22 January 2002 Man United 0 Liverpool 1 (Murphy 85)

*24 April 2004 Man United 0 Liverpool 1 (Murphy 63 pen)

PS: Keputusan SPM baru keluar. Aku ternampak newsline; "PPMSI (pengajaran math sains dalam Bahasa Inggeris) tak jejas prestasi spm". Dah berapa tahun line ni keluar.. Dan aku tak paham, macamana jabatan pendidikan boleh justify hal ni. Aku rasa semua dah maklum sistem penggredan SPM yang menggunakan graf tu. Kalau tahun tu soalan senang, ramai yang dapat markah tinggi, markah untuk dapat A naik. Kalau tahun tu susah, graf turun. Simple. Jadi kalau percentage yang dapat A tahun ni lebih kurang percentage masa sebelum polisi PPMSI, tak semestinya menunjukkan pelajar masih dapat menjawab soalan exam dengan baik. Jadi "PPMSI tak jejas prestasi spm"?

Sebab aku tinggal di kampung, aku tahu macamana budak sini jawab exam. Aku rasa korang pun boleh bayangkan. Sesiapa yang tak faham BI, takkan faham pengajaran math dan sains (terutamanya sains) dalam BI. Dianggarkan lebih setengah juta pelajar akan tercicir kerana polisi ini.

Maka nyatalah polisi ini polisi yang menjahanamkan.

Eddie the surfer, youre the man!

Masa makan roti canai pagi ni, terserempak dengan Eddie dari pulau perhentian. Eddie ni tubuhnya agak tough, terus terang nampak sebab pakai sleeveless. Pakai shorts, ray bans, cap, macam clone beach bum aussie sial. Surfer pulak tu. Eddie sorang je kat perhentian yang surf. Perhentian tu ombak bukannya besar sangat, cukup-cukup tinggi lah..
Bergilir-gilir dia berbual ngan aku dan stepdad aku, sekejap loghat kelantan pekat, sekejap english yang slangnya boleh tahan. Terpikir jugak aku, dari kerajaan ajar math science in English, baik hantar budak belajar kat pulau je. Budak-budak kampung kat situ yang ambil inisiatif, memang english bole tabik ah.
Dan terpikir jugak aku, kalau si Eddie ni kat sydney sekarang, memang surfing siang malam ah aku rasa.
Eddie ni kerjanya agak murni. Selain bukak kedai kat pasir panjang tu, dia jugak lifeguard untuk noobs yang terperangkap dalam rip tide yang memang acap kali membawa ajal kepada sesiapa yang malang.
Ada dia cerita, sekali tu, 4 orang dia kena rescue. Lepas orang kedua, dah tak larat. Penat lawan ombak. Aku tak tanya pulak apa jadi kat dua orang tu. fuh.
FYI, kat pulau perhentian takde pun official lifeguard on duty. So tak dapat duit pun. Equipment pun semua Eddie yang beli sendiri. Kerajaan tak interested pun. Kata safety first..
Katanya, kalau kat tempat lain, siap dapat pingat lagi...
Orang yang dia dah save, dah tak terbilang. Alangkah banyaknya pahala, saving someones life.

Yang belajar kat sydney tu, kalau lepas 4 tahun tak reti surf lagi, ok lah bagi mudah; tak reti swimming lagi, tak yah ah weyh...setakat ambik gambar kat tepi Coogee beach.

Berbalik kepada pengajaran math dan sains dlm bahasa inggeris, 2 hari lepas 2000-8000 orang berarak dari Masjid Negara ke Istana Negara. Kena tear gas. Bayangkan, cikgu-cikgu, ahli akademik, sasterawan, dah orang ramai yang memperjuangkan bahasa melayu dan berdemo secara aman, KENA TEAR GAS.
This country is going to the dogs.

Funny court quotations

Some courtroom quotations i found on the net.. its claimed that they are taken from real courtroom records. Maybe, maybe not, but they're funny nonetheless.

  • Lawyer: "Now, you have investigated other murders, have you not, where there was a victim?"

  • Lawyer: "This myasthenia gravis -- does it affect your memory at all?"
  • Witness: "Yes."
  • Lawyer: "And in what ways does it affect your memory?"
  • Witness: "I forget."
  • Lawyer: "You forget. Can you give us an example of something that you've forgotten?"

  • Lawyer: "And what did he do then?"
  • Witness: "He came home, and next morning he was dead."
  • Lawyer: "So when he woke up the next morning he was dead?"

the bourne supremacy iz teh r0x0r

I watched bourne supremacy for the umpteenth time. The scene where bourne
asks for a taxi in moscow:

Taxi driver: Rubles?
Bourne: Dollars.

Driver agrees and bourne gets into the car.

If filming of the next bourne film is done in Malaysia, I
hope the dialogue doesn't go something like this:

Taxi driver: Meter or no meter?
Bourne: No meter.
Taxi driver: Get in.

Of course in the cab the driver will go on about Obama politics and Bourne is like "Yeah I voted democrat" while some extremely good-looking assasin just hijacked a kancil and is following 50 meters behind.

Then they get stuck in a traffic jam.
