harimau malaya

after a good long weekend, who really 'works' on monday morning.. it's not the monday blues, it's everyday blues.
.........

i'm not a sport person..never have i been. i may consider myself an active person. i joined all the 'fun' activities in school. i represented the school for quizzess and so forth. i was the president of the club, the secretary of the society. those were my yesteryears. my passion with social activites stopped when i was in that boarding school.. when there's so many 'potential' leaders in the same school, i knew when my service as a leader was needed or not. anyway, no matter how actives i was, sport was never on the plate, never my cup of tea. i was the vice president as the school sports' team not because i was good, i just good of being a leader. i was in the school hockey team not because i was good, i just happened to be there to fill up the reserved seats. and i was fine with all. sports was never my passion. 

not like my mum and my sis, who was the 100m sprinter and the olahragawati up to the states' level. not like my cousin who manage the office futsal team. not like my hubby who is very good when he holds that hocket stick and dribble away the ball. not like everybody else in my family. sports was not my in thing.

somehow, when it comes to malaysian' team on the live telecast, i'm in too. perhaps, the mood surrounding. my whole family will be in front of that box, abandoning dinner and the kids, waiting for the malaysian team to score, strike gold. 

yesterday is one of the many occasions. those fresh meats of malaysians against that pschycotic indonesians. the glorious of football team in malaysia has long gone as far as i could remember. i remembered when the kl team was so good, and as all my family were supporting selangor, my aunt and i would be the odd one who was so loyal supporting the kl team. but those era has long gone. malaysian football, no offense, suck big time. it's like watching the kindergarden kids fighting over balls.. that's how they played all this while.. but yesterday was great. i must compliment them. again, i may not be the best comentator as it took my hubby six years to explain to me what offside is.. and i still don't understand why they have that rule in football. but today, i woke up with good feelings as malaysia won 3-0. the game was good. that shahrul guy, who saved the ball and help with the first score that burnt the whole team energy to max, must receive datukship. safee was ok as usual, but i guess, shahrul should get the compliment.. a newly-wed, he really have shown good spirit on last night's game. and of course, that young 21-yo keeper, fahmi. he did a job well done. he's been taking care of that post since the semi-final games with vietnam, and he did it well. kudos to him. of course, football is a team effort. the whole harimau malaya team did great last night. they impressed me, a non-sport passive supporter. they played all out, and they played hard and well. congratulation to them. 

i guess, that is how sports should be played. the team really shown that they played for the nation, not for the rewards. they really can unite the whole nation. 

and to add sweeter revenge on that, they beat the everlasting traditional 'enemy' of ours. no hard feeling markus ya, but, it just made us feel good to beat your team... 

of course, it was sad on the laser light incident. it shouldn't be. but somehow, though the malaysian team was not playing, the same issue is faced in this part of the world. the mentality need to be brush up. but of course, that players should be at fault for that. it's beyond their control. 

anyway, am not gonna blabbering about sports - i know, when i read back, it wasn't a great piece of blog post.. but for now, i just want to congratulate the team. they made us proud. let's pray for the win this coming wednesday,insyaallah. good luck guys.
