so we bow out of the UEFA Champions league after losing to Chelski on 5-7 agregate... damn what a game... taking a 2-0 lead into half time, then letting in a soft flick on from Fugly....and a thunderbolt from Alex....to setup a frenetic last 15 minutes... where the Reds came back twice to cancel out the away goals scored in Anfield. but fatty had to pop up with the final killer goal! damn damn damn.

well at least we went out fighting! Go get em Arsenal!

introducing my own 'Jean Grey"

Last week my hot stuff of a wifey went to try for first time at a "mahal" punya hair salon... turns out she got a good deal, and the dude was pretty good (her words). I was busy stuffing my face at Kim Gary's hehe.

I like the result! so what u folks thing? should i go get myself some Cyclops looking shades or what? need to match her wei....

kena la...

undone by set pieces at corners, and not even from the first choice right back some more.... aiyo.. and the two stars were kept in the pockets!!... hands up to Essien, he had a stellar game in keeping Stevie G quiet... well now a huge huge mountain to climb in the second leg? can we pull it off?? remains to be seen!

big change for actor

was watching House tonight and got a great great shock when one of the main characters was found dead by suicide! wow.. so sudden... but then a bigger shock! see why HERE.... wow who'd have thought eh...

phew.. late late late

woo hooooo back on top (even for 24 hours at least) when Yossi Benayoun popped up to score a vital goal late in injury time. After hitting the post 4 times in the first half, and pulling off master saves from keeper Schwarzer, the game looked to be heading for a stalemate when a late cameo ensured the Reds leave with all 3 points!!

way before it's time

well that's the common line given by one of thos broadcasting companies when they decide to end a series/show due to lack of ratings response from the viewers.


yes folks, another series has come to an end. i just watched the series finale of a very enjoyable cop drama with a science fiction twist with excellent 70s soundtrack music. the 17th episode. of it's only season. shame right? and it's not even on malaysian tv (but now that it has been shutdown, Astro will be showing it soon!!) well to those who are not into watching downloaded shows, go ahead. give it a chance. see if you don't like it. bet you will love it!

Life on Mars is an american remake of a British series which won great acclaim in the UK. The story of a cop from 2008 who gets in an accident and wakes up in 1973 is a simple premise, which actually turned out some good 17 episodes.

but unfortunately like so many before this (re: Jericho, Journeyman, Arrested Development, The Black Donnellys, Dirty Sexy Money, Rome[only two seasons tsk tsk], etc etc etc) this series was not meant to last. Somehow strong storylines and good casting is worth naught compared to viewer ratings and revenue. SIGH!!

latest news is even shows with several season are in danger of being shown the dreaded finale curtain are like Chuck, Reaper, Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse. well lets see what happens along the way.
