What a great weekend!!!

Yesterday was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's one of those days where all those little things created a steady accumulation of positive till end of day, leaving me with a good night's sleep and waking up feeling all light and fired up on a Sunday morning.

Eventful gila, pagi sampai ptg belajoooo je banyak2 with my bro, managed to cover a whole lot of material alhamdulillah. Abu siap masak American Breakfast lagi (don't let the name fool you, it's just fried calamari, fried eggs and fried sausages). Also spent the afternoon borak2 habis with him about family + makcik-pakcik stories back home. Covered politics too. Hoi, bila masa adik aku ikut isu2 dunia nih, siap tunjuk video2 youtube lagi!! Selama nih dia tahu fikir pasal diri sendiri saja, what a vain guy!!! Funny that, macam tak percaya dia dah 18. You rock bro.

Also we called mum + dad, saja seronok pasang loudspeaker kuat2 pas tu menyakat si Juju ngan si Ali. They might come end of month. Awesome. Great family we have, hope it stays that way insyaallah.

Kul 4 main training bola ngan postgrad. We're gonna have a friendly match with undergrads, and I've blatantly betrayed my team by joining the abang2. Menarik ah, main ngan orang baru, dah la tak bahagi team ikut kaler, pening kepala je nak defend. Last2 aku clear je semua bola.

Abu scored 2 on debut, hebat. Aku pun tak penah score, kecuali own goal!! Saw a few promising players in midfield, defence and attack. Ada yg challenge memang keras, so might be a good match although I have faith in the undergrads led by Anas (siap la aku tackle korang semua time defend hehe)

Speaking of defending, Brissie's got a new guy coming!!! Main bola, main piano, keje...hoi hoi hoi, ada kaki la...member Amar, dapat keje engineer kat sini. Very nice to meet your acquaintance, I hope you'll be able to contribute to QLD football as much as you can mate!

Ptg tu layan Bledisloe Cup, Wallablies-All Blacks. All Blacks menang, 39-10!!!! Richie McCaw ruleeeezzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!



- McCaw and the gang -

Malam tu bawak my bro dinner Salt and Battery. Verdict? Reckon he loved it when he cleaned up everything to the last chip. Balik rumah, tido sat, tetiba rumahku dikunjungi oleh the usual suspects (Ji, Ika, Jerry, Tasia and Hez). Selamat dtg!!! Layan wrestling jap (plus kutuk2 their poyoness)

Pas tu kitorang layan some game called LIFE. LIFE???? Itu game time aku time kecik kot!! It's a Monopoly-like board game where you start by spinning the wheel ("Saya putar ya Halim!"), going through life events (good and bad), taking different options and speculating on some occasions. When you reach the finish line, everyone accumulates their net worth and the person with the most is the winner.

Great game, I took a bucketload of risks which made my game a memorable one. Achievements included:

- Becoming a $80,000 salaried veterinarian
- Acquired a Tudor as a starter home, and upgraded that to a Mansion. (I have to put the kids somewhere)
- Got married and had 5 kids. 3 laki 2 pompuan. The car's too full, wife often ends up being accidentally thrown out many times...banyak sgt berleter kot hehe.
- Gambled in the risky part of life. Won $500K, but also lost $350K. Loved the adrenalin rush everytime I put in my bets. (Main2 saja, bukan betul ok?)
- Sponsored a bunch of African kids, and also forked out $300K for children's college. Hisy budak2 nih, buat mengabihkan bogheh je.
- Had in-laws visiting (leave me alone!!!) and became a grandfather.
- Got sued a few times, and lost $300,000 in the process. My bro had lawsuit immunity, lucky dingo.

Ended up 2nd place with a net worth of $1.8 million. Jerry menang 1st ($1.9M), and celebrated victory by shouting "IN YOUR FACE!!!!" literally in front of my face. Tak guna punya Doktor, hahahaha....

Abu with $0.9M kept complaining about why his Lawyer life is so uneventful. Tasia and Ika also did well despite being fired from their high-profile college jobs, and had to survive on a low-earning career as an athlete and mechanic respectively. Great game people.

Nak tido....esok sambung belajo, kuiz due malam ni, wish me luck!! I hope you guys had equally good days as well. Always nice to have em once in a while..
