Glory, glory Chelsea… (Part I)
This topic has been circulating in my mind for quite a while. It happened ever since the hijack of transfer by Man City over Robinho which has been under Chelsea’s noses for quite a long while, or more of ‘for a bloody long time’.
This happens because of Mr Thaksin selling his shares of Man City to some bloody rich Arabs from the UAE. Well, as soon as this UAE guy (I don’t know his name and don’t bother knowning) was in control, many bids were made to numerous quality players, Ruud Van N. , Berba and Robinho to name a few. Almost all were accepted. They gave a blank cheque for Ruud Van N. . Blank Cheques = Any amount of money.
If I was Real Madrid, I would put the amount the UAE guy have on that Cheque and take it. Then he’s bankrupt and Man City is gone. How evil am I?
So, Robinho, as you all know was under Chelsea’s noses for quite a long time. Robinho was sulking and totally selfcentered over his future after the recent C. Ronaldo saga. So, Robinho was totally ready to go to Chelsea since Chelsea was the only apparent club to have given a formal offer which Real Madrid didn’t accept. They keep rising the price of Robinho after ever bid.
It’s near the end of the transfer window. The final day of the transfer window. Anything can happen. Many clubs raced against the clock to get the sufficient players for added firepower to the team. Everton was from silent, dormant club to a frantic club. They bought a promising Belgium guy. Singapore’s time and England’s time is totally different. I was waiting for the confirmation of Robinho’s transfer to Chelsea. So, feeling impatient, I went to chelseanews.com to know the results rather than wait for next day’s Newpaper. OMG, ROBINHO WENT TO MAN CITY!!!
Anyway, now I feel that Robinho may be dreaming when he signed that contract. Just look at the press conference on Robinho on Man City. He thought he was in Chelsea. Other than that, many players are critisizing his move to Man City, including the GREAT PELE and the Santos Manager.
Well, what had happen, happen. It’s just fate. So, some people are blaming the hijack done by the UAE guy, some are blaming Real Madrid, some are blaming Robinho’s money-minded mind while some are blaming Peter Kenyon. In my opinion, I would blame partly Robinho and Peter Kenyon. Remember this, Peter Kenyon was from Man Utd. He once was in the same situation when Man Utd was eyeing Ronaldinho from PSG. Ronaldinho was already under Peter Kenyon’s nose for some time, then suddenly Barcelona got him first. So Peter Kenyon was blamed for his over-confidence and also his arrogancy. Robinho, on the other hand was forcing his way for a transfer out of Real Madrid. Well, he have such rights to do so since a footballer’s career is short and knowning what is best for the player is well the player’s choice.

Reflection – Stop and Stare
I know that this post is due really long ago but seriously, there isn’t enough update-juice to make do this. So to satisfy you guys for about a few weeks or a month or so, since it is fasting month and also near hari raya, I’m just going to post some crap and some sensible stuff. A jumble. Abstract.
- First off is my term 3 progress report.
I just love the word progress report. Sounds more safer rather than common test. Anyway, I am really moaning with this report since it has been by far one of the worst ever. Even Jermaine realized that my grades are slipping. My results are undisclosed but I would just say that I failed my art because I didn’t come for the lessons. Luckily Ms Coelho allowed me to get back the marks within the first week of term 4. I seriously think I am gonna be busy for that week.
- Fasting month – Month of spiritual cleaning and also a great month for me to buck up!
It is totally frustrating having a holiday with fasting month. But look at the bright side, now I have an excuse of no playing soccer or doing other stupid stuff which would delay my homecoming. Thus allowing me more time to revise and study, I hope. Also, it is allowing me to save money, be seriously clean from all that horny stuff and other crap. Killing my time would be prayers, which would be done at night for 30 days and have at least 11 laps. This would then include the normal daily prayers which is total up to 18 laps. So exactly 29 laps. This isn’t complaints!

Targets
- To finish the Qu’ran within the fasting month. Something which I never had done before.
- To get at least 3 hours of studying daily. Maths is excluded in the time since I usually would use to whole time to do maths if I am bored of other subjects. Must have more interest in other subjects, especially Malay and English.
- To get at least 40 bucks by the end of the month. 100 bucks by next month.
- To refrain myself from after-school soccer for this whole month.
I should seriously jot this down somewhere for reminders.

What did I do today?
I played FM 08 until the March Period. Getting more addicted to this game since I have a wordpress.com dedicated to it. Then I played Burnout for fun. Just realized that my brother did something with Skate. So now I can’t play Skate anymore 
. Then I watched Zoolander. Great movie. Funny and seriously Magnum-licious. Derek Zoolander is soo metro sexual. Male models are just beyond stupid, in the movie of course. Then slacked some more doing stuff, while the boys went out to play soccer at Babi’s house again. Wow, seriously I am bored, but not as bored as last time which nearly made me kill myself, literally of course.
