Hello August, You Looked Different This Year

Usually, I would be pretty busy during August since traditionally, its the month for WCG Asian Championship and WCG Malaysia. Somehow this year, both happened last month...which explained why my world went haywired with sleepless night and zombie face whole month long.

In the middle of the madness that is July, I also somehow found my perfect writing timing but am not able to follow it continuously due to various reasons. So, that would be my main priority this month. I hope I'll able to finally be consistent from this month onwards even if the flow gets interrupted for any given reason.

Also, puasa is going to start in few days time. So, yeah... :)

My Impressions: The New Manchester United 2010/2011 Home Kit

Well, I bet everybody already saw the new Manchester United home kit for 2010/2011. Even though it was manufactured with the same process - made from recycled bottles! - as Nike's jerseys for the recent World Cup teams but honestly...I'm not really a fan of the new design.

Sure, the classic design is homage to the team's jersey at Old Trafford 100 years ago but I still love last year's Star Trek-like jersey better . This might be because of the modernist in me but it doesn't matter - as Manchester United supporter, the new design is going to grow on me eventually. Heck, I might chop one too...but let's see the away design 1st, which according to some leaked photo, looked better IMHO.

One more photo of the most glorious football team in the world's new kit, right after the jump.

Under The Weather

Ever since I came back from Singapore, this is how I felt every day. I wonder what the hell did I caught from the country since couple of other guys that were there with me at Singapore also got sick.

Having to go through WCG Malaysia last weekend didn't help my recovery as well. With a run happening next week which I'm totally not prepared at all, I guess I just have to embrace the suck.

Waving Jalur Gemilang At Singapore Expo

Because you got to let them know where you come from. I'm currently in Singapore for the WCG Asian Championship 2010, babysitting administrating Team Malaysia at the event. Throughout the weekend, we are competing in several games - DoTA, FIFA 10 and Forza Motorsport 3 - against top gamers from 12 other countries.

Compared to the previous two years where I compete in Guitar Hero series (by force - long story), this time around my role is purely administrative. Team Malaysia did pretty good yesterday as all our players have qualified to the next stage. Wish us all the best, alright? You can follow the team's progress through Multiplay.LYN and couple of eSports sites across the net. :)

I Hate Mac.

Because they are overpriced, that's why. That being said, the biggest reason of them all is actually due to the sad amount of games available for Macs.

Don't feel offended yah, fanbois. Each of his own opinion. ;)
