Modern Referee’s Dilemma

Football is a wonderful game. Football is the most beautiful game in the whole world. Tell me another game that requires great first touch skills, pace, intelligence, vigilance, stamina and most importantly (to me) self-confidence. Can you think of another game that requires that many attributes in a player? Leave a comment and let me know!

Here’s a little intro about football. People all around the world are trying to take the label of “the founder of modern football”. The Englishmen has the most renowned football league in the world, the Barclays Premier League, but does that mean that they are the founders of football?

The English Premier League

Brazil won the FIFA World Cup 5 times, beating all other nations by being the only country that has beaten the 4 times barrier. Does that make them the founder of modern day football??

Brazil

Want to know the answer?? Who?? Whooo?? WHOOOOO??!!

I have no idea, mate!

In this post, I would like to voice out, or rather, type out my opinions on the modern football game based on the outstanding football league of the world, Barclays Premier League with a focus on referees.

You might have not noticed this but the modern day football revolves around the referees. They are the one who brandish cards and give up fouls. They can give u a straight red card or just give u pep talk. They are the ones who disallow goals and award penalties that could cause a particular team the game.

Is that all you got boy??

Referees have a big target on their back.

They are the ones who actually decide what happens during the football match. They are expected to give 101% while in a match. They are so pressured to deliver the best they can in every game, especially the referees in the BPL/EPL. Fans, players, managers and alike often forgot that these referees are still human.

A few weeks ago, an English Premier League referee, Rob Styles, did a very bad error that cost Liverpool their game against Chelsea. They were leading 1-0 thanks to a first-half Torres strike. Unfortunately, Steve Finnan (Liverpool’s right back) was thought to trip Malouda (Chelsea’s Left Winger) in the penalty box when there was no contact at all. A penalty was given and the game ended 1-1.

The incident that broke the heart of many Liverpool fans.

Comments from players said that Styles actually cracked during the game. He actually let the players get into him. A referee got to know the rules of the game, that’s important. A referee also must learn and understand the game that he is officiating.

Every football game is different. There’s no such thing as the same type of football game. Chelsea and Liverpool had a quite a few encounters with each other that ended in a lot of controversy. Styles should understand that players will try to take advantage of every single foul and even try to be a soap drama actor with the slightest touch.

Referees have been giving bad decisions all the time. No one escapes the infamous red card.

Wazza didn't...

The master of the roulette (360 degrees turn) didn't..

Even the buck-toothed assassin, Ronaldinho, didn't!!

A referee’s life is job that is very hard to do, especially if he is officiating a match with great importance and prestige. They deserve protection and help for every single thing that concerns them.

Chelsea and Arsenal players battle it out, old fashion style.. LIVE!!

Technology has been included into tennis and other sports. Football is an exception. When technology is embraced by the modern day football, life as a referee gets a little easier. Technology helps make the game fair but it takes away the excitement and pain of human errors in the game that has been in the game for as long as it was founded.

Tennis replay technology...

Will technology make football greater than it already is? Let us let time tell us the answer for that. I would love to hear comments from you. Please kindly comment. ^^

Your comments drive me on!!!

Mock Exams

Examinations are a part of a student’s life. Different students have different reactions towards exams…

Some studied damn hard…

Some commit suicide

Some get depressed

Some don't give a damn...

I will be sitting for a big public exam this year. All Form 3/Secondary 3/Everyone that’s 15 years old have to sit for the dreaded PMR, ‘Penilaian Menengah Rendah’ which is translated to Lower Secondary Valuation. Here’s a bit of Malay language for you.

This is what each individual word means:

It’s like reading it backwards…

Anyways, MOCK!!! What does MOCK supposed to mean???

1. Not real but intended to look or seem real…

- Okay… get the idea… The mock exams are just exams to get us ready for the real exams, PMR!!

2. To make someone look stupid

- Em… Yeah, get low and some heartless people will laugh at you… Honestly, some people just have a heart of stone….

So, relax and enjoy doing your paper. It’s just a paper anyway! It’s not a living thing. So…

And be happy ^^

Happy 15th Birthday

This is a bit late...

I would like to wish, Reening, Happy 15th Birthday!!

FFX Madman Fav 5 J-Musix

1. Crossroad - YUI

This is an old song from YUI but it took me quite long to actually notice it. I'm the kind of person who only spends time to listen to artist's hits and just forget about the artist's other unpopular work. Crossroad, was the accompanying song for the main single, Life. I don't know what this song means but somehow, her sweet voice is make me so happy... HAHa... From my very little knowledge of the Japanese language, this song is about a couple who is separated. Can you translate for me??

So far, my favourite song from YUI!!












2. Kokoro - Kazumasa Oda

I'm still new to J-pop and J-Musix. So, I don't know much about Kazumasa Oda. Here's something I took from Wikipedia.com.

In the 21st century, he released three albums and all of them reached number one on the official Japanese music chart, Oricon. Above all, compilation album Jiko Best (2002) sold over 2,200,000 copies. Because of the most recent album Soukana (2005), he became the oldest solo music artist who has reached number one on Oricon's album chart.

I only know one thing from this guy. He's kinda old. I don't like old artists because their songs are sometimes so boring but this guy has an amazing voice, it just astonishes me. The music video for this music is so touching. Check it out!






3. Heart - Otsuka Ai

AI AI AI!!! Otsuka Ai!!! She's the cutest, most kawaii J-Artist I have ever seen. Sorry YUI!!!

Like all J-musix, I have no idea what she sang. But, there's something with her voice. Her voice is like the voice of angels, a Japanese angel!! Wow!! Hot!!! This single ranked 1st with another hit from her, Peach on the Oricon charts on 30th July 2007 charts. It's an honour to get first!!









4. Love & Truth - YUI


She will release this single n 26th September 2007. Thanks to my pals from YUI-Fans.com, I managed to get the song before hand. Check out this post for more information.














5. Phonoscope - Shikao Suga




This song is about waking up at night, and think about why your life have to be like what it is. HAHA... Dang, I really need to learn Japanese. Great song too!!

YUI - Love and Truth

YUI's latest PV, Love &Truth.






This video is so beautiful. YUI looks so stunning in the video.

Love & Truth lyrics

Konna ni omotte iru Jikan wa tomatte kurenai
Karappo no kokoro wa anata no kimochi wo mada mitsukerarenai

Onaji e wo nido to egaku koto wa dekinai no ni
Atashi no kanjou wa tada kurikaeshite bakari

“Ai no uta” wo kikasete yo sono yokogao mitsumeta
Anata no koto shiritai yo mou deatte shimatta no

Donna ni sabishikute mo mata aeru ki ga shite iru kara
Riyuu nante iranai hiki kaesenai koto wo shitte iru

Kono mama ja wasuremono ni natte shimau desho?
Atashi no kanjou wa namida no oku kagayaita

“Ai no uta” wo kikasete yo sono yokogao sono saki ni
Anata ga ima mitsumeteru hito ga iru to wakatte mo

Tsubasa wo kudasai to shinjite utau you ni atashi datte chikau yo
Kako no zenbu uke ireru tte kimeta

“Ai no uta” wo kuchizusamu sono egao ni furetai
Anata ga ima mitsumeteru hito ga iru to wakatte mo

“Ai no uta” wa owaranai mou deatte shimatta no
...Owaranai ...Love & Truth



Here' the translation.


YUI - LOVE&TRUTH

I’m thinking about you so much…time doesn’t stop for me
My empty heart still can’t find your feelings

I can never draw the same picture twice
But my emotions are just repeating over and over again

Let me listen to your “love song.” (1) I stared at your profile (2)
I want to know about you, now that I’ve met you

No matter how lonely I get, I have a feeling we’ll meet again
I don’t need a reason; I know I can’t turn back

With the way it is now (3), I’ll just become a part of your memory(4), right?
My emotions shone like the depths of tears…

Let me listen to your “love song.” Your profile…
I understand there’s a person you’re gazing at right in front of you but… (5)

Please give me wings and believe that, just as with this song (6), I swear
I’ve decided to accept all the past

I hum the “love song”…I want to touch your smiling face
Even though I know that there’s someone you’re gazing at

My “love song” never ends - I’ve already met you (7)
…It never will end… LOVE & TRUTH



This video will be the theme song for a Japanese movie, "Closed Note" (funny name huh) , scheduled to be released Sept 4, 2007 in Japan. Gosh... I want to see that movie!!

Goodbye my hair

I dedicate this post to Reening.


Have anyone of you lost something that is so valuable to you? Did your favourite computer was struck by lightning? Was your house burnt to the ground? Did your girlfriend/boyfriend dump you? Well, I will lose something that’s very dear to me in the following week; the subject makes it obvious right? I just got a haircut.

The thing that I don’t like about haircuts is that it is the process of cutting your hair. Duh… I don’t want to keep short hair!! The Malaysian Education system states that every male student must not have hair that touched the eyebrows, ears, and the shirt collars. I think that petty things like these made our education standard go down so low… *coughs*

YEaHH!! Hair freedom!!

Modern and civilised countries like Japan and U.S.A lets their students keep long hair. As a result, they achieve better academically and able to compete in the world’s ever competing environment. *cough*cough*cough*cough*

This post is als0 dedicated to one of my very good friend, my hair. I would like to give a tribute to the hair that I had lost..

Oh Mr. Rui Hair (that’s the name of my hair), you’ve always been there for me. You were always there with me. Rui, I love you from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Rui, you look the best when you wake up. You look curvy and sleek. You look rebellious and strong. I love you when you wake up.

Unfortunately, I have to pour water over you. Use an acidic shampoo that hurt you in ways that I would have never felt. I let the cooling alkaline conditioner to ease your pain after that.

You were so cute and obedient when you were wet. With one gentle swap of the magnetised comb or fingers, you move to the position where I want you to be. When you turn dry, you turn hard and disobedient. You move to weird angles and separate yourself from your other parts. Things look messy and unorganized. But, I still love you, Rui.

You felt the frustration I get when I didn’t get an A for my exam. You felt the disappointment and pain that I felt when Manchester United lost. You were always there!! I love you!!


I feel so sad when I will lose you. Rui has not been the best or the coolest hair in the world, but it’s still my hair and I love you, Rui.

As a proper tribute to my hair, these are the pictures of me and my hair.

Rui at his best in the morning.

Rui is shouting in pain in those white bubbles. Sorry RUI!!!

Rui and I love rock music, so sometimes, he changes to this.

Rui understood that I had a social life. He (sometimes) kindly reverted to a more normal and sane look for my outdoor activities.

When I felt sad and emotional, Rui felt the same thing too. He’s like this when he’s sharing the pain of my heart and soul.

Pretty much, that’s it. I’m not too adventurous with my hair. Any tips for me mate?


I can’t quite remember my hair during my younger days but I think I still can recall it. If I’m not mistaken it’s like this.

My primary school hair, I was struck by Cupid’s arrow that time. As a result, Rui and I loved our life.

Surely when I was younger, I look a bit chubby and plump. I was so ungrateful and I lost my primary school class photo. *Sob*. Anyone can give me???


My dear Rui, I hate it when you are cut. I have to wait around one to three months for you to come back. I face this situation so many times in the past. I don’t know why I feel so emotional about this whole issue this time. You are not the coolest or obedient hair around but I still love you. Goodbye, Rui, my beloved hair.


In conclusion, be proud of your hair. It's special because it is yours. Forget what other people think about your hair. It's yours and it's yours to love.

God bless!!

Once again, thank you for reading this post. Please leave your greetings and good-bye wishes by leaving comments for this post. Rui will really appreciate it.
