Lost with Pride

By steven88net

15th April 2009, approximate 5.30am of Malaysia Time, Chelsea vs Livepool game ended with an aggregate of 7-5 (first leg was 3-1).

The result was not purely because skills and strategies but it was because spirits and calmness.

Some of them might be thinking, "Liverpool scored 4 goals yet still lost to Chelsea". I agreed the fact, however, not everyone notice the real game happened behind the scene.

Before the game started, I expected that Liverpool will lose its semi-final seat as it had lost 3-1 to Chelsea at the first leg in its homeground. In this situation, the Red has to score at least 3 goals providing Chelsea only score one goal in the second leg in order to draw and go for penalties shootouts. One word to describe this bad situation, "Waiting to die".

Although the final result met my expectations but I am proud to say that Liverpool players had done their best that they can do . The Red did not win the game but they won the spirits of chasing up from the back and against the unfavourable odds were.

"We are disappointed because we scored four goals away from home and this game was unbelievable, and I'm really proud of the players and fans because they were pushing the team all the time," Benitez, manager of Liverpool said.

Even Chelsea's man in charge, Hiddink was in doubt, worried, and said "You can kill the game in the first half-hour by not conceding, but not by sitting back, with your backs in the goal - then you ask for problems, and we were worried."

Anyway, lost the game is still a fact, no one can against or deny the facts.

I just had realized that sport game also can give extrinsic values are beneficial to the society.

Today's principle of life: "Never say no when you are have not give a try."

Amazing Aquascaping

By steven88net

I was being told about 2007 Aqua Design Amano Aquascaping Contest which I had totally no idea on about it initially. The contest, held yearly and open to anyone, is the most significant award in the hobby and garners international recognition. The entries are judged by Takashi Amano himself and other renowned judges.

I was thinking whether my aquarium qualifies to participate this competition or not. As I was lazy to take a picture of my aquarium, I decided to get a picture of a similar aquarium from internet. Ended I got something like this.

See, it looks nice, isn't it ? The water is clean and clear. But......why looks empty? I assume you guys are my judges. What do you think about this aquascaping? Please rate so-called my aquascaping from 1 to 10. Frankly speaking, I would rank it 7/10 as my actual aquascaping is even worse (which has nothing inside except the fish). At the end, I did not submit my application as I did not want to embarass myself and my country.

At Oct 2007, the result had been released through online. Thank God, my decision was correct for not participating this contest. Pictures below will explain why I said so.

Another applause for our new future leader

Helping young leaders her forte

Anisha Sasheendran says Malaysian youth lack courage in exploring options
.

KUALA LUMPUR: Numbers and Anisha Sasheendran have a certain affinity. The 28-year-old has travelled to and worked with countless young aspiring leaders from 40 countries over the last four years.

.
The human capital communication executive has AIESEC -- the world's largest student organisation which has provided nearly a million youth worldwide with significant leadership experience since 1948 -- to thank for her global exposure.

"If I was not part of AIESEC, I would not have had the chance to do all these -- travel extensively and discover human resources as my calling.

"As a child, Anisha had thought she was destined for a science-related career like other family members before her.That was partly why the Klang-born chose to major in biotechnology at Universiti Sains Malaysia eight years ago. But an encounter with fellow students recruiting new AIESEC members on campus in 2001 changed her life. "I signed up because of the activities available, mainly the leadership opportunities, and the work abroad programme.

"I knew it was necessary, even for a science student, to join an organisation that would complement my other interests like business and human resources," said Anisha, who recently joined PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of AIESEC's top global partners..............

As some of my friends know, previously I joined AIESEC in 2007/2008 term and I met her in person and had some discussion related to AIESEC's development. No doubt, she is a very outstanding person who not only good in management but also good in personality. Believe me, not many youth is able to sit at the position where she is sitting right now. Malaysian including me should proud to have such a great person for representing us in bringing our pride to a greater high.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and wish you all the best in your journeys of AIESEC.

Freeze in the tropical forest (Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam) PART VI

By steven88net

Please do not feel weird once you hear that someone were freezing in the tropical forest in Malaysia. Anything could happen in "Boleh Land". Let me proudly introduce the final spot, the house of 4 seasons. It cost only RM 3 per person and only allow you to be inside for 3 minutes. So, try to take pictures as much as possible in this short period given.

Nice decorations, all this trees are human-made.

Penguins are in actions (toys)

Initially, we thought the house consists 4 different seasons but turned out to be only one particular season which European countries are having. Not only that, it also divided to several stages (eg: early winter, middle of winter, and so on).

We entered to early winter stage at that time but suprisingly, the temperature was already at -17 celcius. The good news was we were wearing short pants and a normal T. NO jackets or additional cloths given as you are only able to stay for 3 minutes only. As I mentioned earlier, the house of 4 seasons was the last spot we went. The Bukit Cahaya Trip's posts will officially ended here.

Garden of Africa (Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam) Part V

By steven88net

This part is not following the actual sequence of the journey. I had accidentally misplaced this part. This part should be classified under part II.

This garden is located near to the stall where we hanged out for a momment. For your information, most of the plants in this garden are replicas. Basically this garden is built for pictures-taking purpose.
