After sucha loooooonnngg journey, we've finally arrived in Bali!
 

What came as a pleasant surprise was that we were greeted by our chauffeur with a garland of pretty and sweet smelling Frangipani flowers hung around our necks

 

Thanks for a great start to our island getaway already!

 

Checked in to our accommodation for our holiday, Hard Rock Hotel Bali!

As we speak, it's already our 2nd day here. As expected, an amazing stay so far, 3 more days to go

 

At the signature photowall just outside the hotel lobby

 

Today was crazy, they brought us around for a full day tour around Kintamani, Ubud, Tampak Siring and so many other places with foreign names I don't remember! Also, if you've been reading my tweets, you would know that we drank some coffee made out of Civet Cat faeces. (Yes, I meant shit)
 

Hehe. So catch ya later! Will blog soon

 

It's so freakin' rare to get any internet around here so I've just parked my arse in Starbucks Coffee at our hotel for a bit.

Enjoy your weekend loves!
 

 

Edit!

 

CONGRATULATIONS MALAYSIA!!

HARIMAU MUDA MALAYA BEATS GARUDA INDONESIA

4 – 2 ON AGGREGATE AND BRINGS HOME THE TROPHY!

 

 

WELCOME HOME CHAMPIONS OF THE SUZUKI CUP

You've done us proud. Good game too, Indonesians!

 

 

——————————–

 

So alright, I was never a fan of fighting publicly on Twitter.

Reason being, fights should remain private and not put up on the World Wide Web to see.

 

Hence, I never ever chose to do it.

Closest I've ever been was some very subtle yet snide remarks or sarcasm but nothing too substantial to warrant a fight.

 

UNTIL. Last night. This was no personal affair.

 

 

Malaysia played against Indonesia in the AFF Suzuki Cup during the 1st leg final in our National Stadium, Bukit Jalil and beat them to a beautiful score of 3 – 0. Just like my fellow Malaysian citizens, I was rooting for my country all the way for our victory and cheering for them on Twitter despite the bitter accusations that our neighbouring country threw at us.

They made #malaysiacheatlaser a worldwide trending topic even.

 

What started it was when someone replied me on Twitter so childishly and not only insulted me, but my nation as well

 

 

and many other tweets which I can't seem to find now.

They've probably deleted it -___-

 

 

Thanks very much to some of my tweeples on Twitter for the support and those who backed up my responses.

Here are tweets from other people -

 

 

Allow me to reiterate that our Malaysian footballers scored 3 goals while playing fair and square ON THE FIELD.

They had nothing to do with some childish, dimwitted and juvenile Malaysian fans at the stadium playing with laser lights. In fact, our goals gradually scored one after another AFTER half time.

CLEARLY, after the lasers have already stopped by then.

 

 

However, I am ashamed of those handful of Malaysian fans who played with laser pointers. It was a distracting and ignorant thing to do.

BUT

Also for your kind information, an Indonesian news source, Tribunnews, has reported that the Indonesian fans also did use and point their laser lights at our Malaysian goalkeeper. Looks like we're equal now.

Check it out here, if you can read Bahasa Indonesia.

 

Oh and here are some of my tweets from last night as well -

 

Just for the record and to all my Indonesian readers out there, I have nothing against Indonesia nor Indonesians at all. In fact, I've many Indonesian friends in university and have an Indonesian maid at home whom I love dearly

 

Football is a competitive sport, but not meant to cause such a ruckus

See you in Jakarta, at the 2nd leg held in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. All the best to Harimau Malaya and Garuda Indonesia

 

Here's to hoping that fans of both nations drop their lightsabers!

May the best team win.

 

Yes Yes! Watch football with me and a whole buncha peeps LIVE through the largest TV screen in Southeast Asia this weekend!

Haha yup, this is coming from a newly turned footie fan

 

Honestly, prior to 2010, I wasn't exactly a huge fan of football of any sort. Be it FIFA World Cup, Barclay's Premier League, English Premier League or anything related to it at all.

 

UNTIL…

I was invited to the FIFA 2010 World Cup trophy tour!

 

Only then I understood what the whole hype was about!

I could clearly remember being all eggcited during the FIFA World Cup and even betting on which teams are gonna win or lose!

Here's some memories of my homies and I in the spirit and gathering together to watch the finale!!

 

Clearly, we're all rooting for Spain!

 

Sometime last year, I too had an encounter with football – this time, a Manchester United party held in Quattro.

Lots and lots of MUFC fans in the haus!

 

Can't see me here, but I was wearing red too btw!

 

So naturally, I'm psyched for this Sunday's LIVE viewing party!

In the meantime, you can catch up with latest Man Utd news before the match day at "The Stadium" in this very funky The World of Everyone Connects website! Walk around and check the "place" out! It's so cute and virtual – like The Sims haha!

 

 

You can also chat and comment about the match or during the game at the "Kopitiam" with other people, in real time!

So if you can't make it and watching the game at home instead, you can still comment and chat LIVE with us at the party

 

Hey, that's me in fronta the "Kopitiam"!

 

One more thing! Just FYI, you can get exclusive TM Manchester Utd merchandise and FAN ZONE seats when you sign up for any TM products or services this Sunday at the party.

So, are you ready for the showdown!!?

Where Chelsea takes on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge all the way in London!!

I know I am!

Lemme bet your bottom dollar that the Red Devils will trash Chelsea all the way!

Make Alex Ferguson and the rest of the world proud

 

Popping down to Nike too, to buy my 1st ever Manchester Utd football jersey

I shall be waving this "flag" proudly until the end of time!

 

Sorry Chelsea, you won't stand a chance

 

Can't wait for the LIVE viewing party!
