2011 UPSR result

What is so significant on this year's result? I had my UPSR result 23 years ago. The only thing I could remember was that it was so nervous waiting for it. I did not  get all 5As,  however after 23 years when I looked back sometimes, it was a blessing in disguised. I noticed that any failure will keep me going forward to be a better person while any triumph and winning will be a satisfaction of hard work in all of these years.

So for this year, the significant result was toward my younger cousins, they are 2 boys of my aunt and my uncle. The only concern I was on Math subject.. why? because I taught them in the last 2 years. It was one of my goal that I would teach someone to be better in their studies. So, historically the 2 boys were not A student for the Math subject, they were C student. After rigorious of training and effort that I put on them, alhamdullilah, they improved. Both of them are smart however why they kept getting C last time was because they keep doing the same mistake and that was in counting. They always did an incorrect counting. That's all. So by rectifying their mistake and trained them to put a lot of effort in it and the result was very satisfying to me. One scored A and another scored B for their Math. I am proud for the 2 boys because they willing to work hard the best that they could and they achieve what they deserve.To me,not only was a proud moment but in fact a very satisfied one because seeing their achievement and help them to improve better than before.

Bear in mind, I am not a teacher by profession. However to see someone better and improved in their life, I could say was one of my worthy goal this year to accomplish. Sometimes we do not need to help people that is far away from us, look around in our family first and thats where we can start to make this world a better place.

2010-AFF Suzuki Cup-Malaysia won at last !!!!

Malaysia winning team-2010 Suzuki cup

For 14 years we never win any football cup match in Asean level. I guess this year's winning is the beginning of the new era (hopefully) for our country football standard. Most of the team players were below 25 years of age. They are very young, energetic and "hungry" for a winning I guess. That's a good attitude to have when they want to win it so bad. They lost to Indonesia at the beginning of the round, but at final they beat them... So how was that possible???  When I watched them played in the final game, I could see the spirit in each of them that they want to win it so badly and that's why they give us a terrific show. When  people saw the "determination spirit" in each of them, that's where the differences were and eventually they won the cup. 

So after this what's next for our football team? I hope this would not be a one time off again like what our badminton team last time. Before 1992, they have not win the Thomas cup for 25 years. Now its year 2011, nearly 20 years, we did not win another Thomas cup ever since 1992. So are we supposed to wait 25 years every time we want to win something at the International Level? We were so complacent with the winning of 1992, but after that we did not go far. Unlike the Indonesia and Chinese team. Indonesia lost to us on that 1992 year, but after that they rose to win the cup the following years, not once, but  they did it again.. and again and again. So are we going to be complacent every time we won something at International level?? Does the "backup plan" actually works in our National Sports Program???  I wished that this time no more complacent attitude from the backup plan.

World Cup 2010

 Spain winning team world cup2010

As we all know, the world cup 2010 just finished. My favourite team Spain had won. Spain had became my favorite team ever since world cup2006. Unfortunately, at that time they did not go so far. However for this 19th edition of world cup, they managed to create many unique history for the "World Cup" game itself and also for their country.  I started to love their game was because I could see their level of commitment in teamwork was superb. Everyone help each other. Level of controlling the ball was fantastic . Basically they are very clean in playing total football. They deserved to win in the final. If Holland were to win, I felt it will be a new era of ugly football.

I am not sure when will I ever see Malaysia has such high level soccer game again. I said it again was because, I think the last time Malaysia had a fantastic player was during Mokhtar Dahari, Soh Chin Aun , Arumugam , Santokh Singh and many others player during the 70s & 80s has reached that level. I was a very young kid at that time but I still remember their faces. When I watched Maxis advertisement on Soh Chin Aun's commitment...my tears drop automatically. I could sensed their pride and joy to play for the country because they love the game very much. I could sensed that even if its a free game,  they were willing to play at that high level of commitment because they love the game and they love their country.At that time even the Koreans were scared of us. 

Not sure when I could see that excellent time again.... We are not producing any great players... and why we need to spend a lot of money on football if the sports were not performing at all???
