Malaysian soccer. A new beginning??

After losing 5-1, 5-0 and 2-0, the whole world know the status of Malaysian soccer. Mediocre at best. Most of the Vice Presidents has resigned and so has the General Secretary. The coach is going to go off soon. The parliament has said that this is a National issue. Some have said that it was a mistake to co-host the Asian Cup and we have made fools of ourselves. The TV screens shows the late Super Mokh, Mokhtar Dahari, the only world class striker we had in the 70s and 80s. All living to the past, still searching blindly to the future.

Personally, I feel that this is the best thing that has happened to Malaysian Football. We've finally woken up from our slumber. Finally changing channels from the English Premier League and care about the national team. Hopefully, a new FAM will emerge and set some realistic goals. We don't need to send players to the Premier League. Send them to Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and see if they can stand it. I do hope we can produce some good players. There are 25 million Malaysians, we only need 11 footballers. Good luck guys

Malaysian soccer team. What's new? Nothing much

First of all, I would like to make it clear that this is just a fan's view and I will always be a Malaysian team supporter for life. Having said that, here is the fact

"CHINA proved to be head and shoulders above Malaysia when they beat the hosts 5-1 in an Asian Cup Group C match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last night." New Straits Time July 11th.

I expected them to lose but 1-5?? At home soil with 18,000 fans cheering them on?? This team did win against Cambodia but lost against Jamaica under-21 and another team which I can't recall. They should have had their tactics figured out by then. But were outclassed. This is when the other host countries, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand were celebrating good results.

The only game which I remember where Malaysia was exciting was when we beat Thailand 2-1 in the 2003 Tiger Cup and there was some hope for the team but it turned out to be a false dawn.

The only positive is that this is the first game. Hopefully, the manager will go on a shouting spree with the team and the team will say, " We played like *#@t tonight but were going to kick some a%$ tomorrow". Help us to help you, guys. Malaysia boleh

Feeling hungry?

Here's a twist on the Japanese classic, Tempura.
Make sure you're over 18 and are comfortable with cooking, if not, get an adult to help you.
What you need for the:

A) Sauce
1) 1/4 cup Sweet Soy Sauce
2) 1 Red Chilli
3) 2-3 Small bird eye chillie
4) 1 Lime
5) 2 tablespoons of water

B) Batter
1) 3/4 cup of flour
2) 1/2 Can of cold Ice Cream soda
3) A touch of salt
4) 2 ice cubes

C) Stuff to eat
1) Basically almost any soft vege and seafood

D) Cooking oil
1) Any cooking oil you're comfortable with


For the sauce, you'll need to
1) Cut the chilli's up finely and put them in a small serving bowl
2) Squeeze the juice of the lime into the bowl
3) put the soy sauce and the water in the bowl
4) Taste it and play around with the ingredients till u think its just right

For the batter you'll need to
5) Mix all the ingredients of B) Batter until they're roughly mixed. It should not be pasty and you don't need to break the icecubes up

For the veges and seafood
1) cut the veges to bite size pieces
2) For harder veges like eggplants, slice the up but not to the edge to make a fan
3) For fish, make sure there are bite sizes and no bones. Fillet them and slice them up to bit size pieces
4) For shrimps and prawns, take out the shell except the tail and clean them of the veins and stuff you don't need
5) For squids, calamari rings are nice.

Cooking

1) Make sure your oil is hot. To make sure its the right temperature, put a drop of the batter and it should float and bubble away. If it explodes or it gets brown in less then a second, lower the temperature.
2) Dunk the the veges in the batter and put the vege in the oil
3) Once it is cooked when its golden brown, take them out and put them on a kitchen towel covered bowl or large plate.
4) Do the same for the other veges and seafood. If there's not enough batter, make more and continue.

Serving

Put the whole stack of veges and seafood on the table and the serving sauce in a bowl beside it.
Give your guests a plate and a small dipping sauce bowl. Dip the fried food in the sauce and enjoy. Don't eat the shrimp's tale though

First entry, Yay!!

Peace, dudes. This is my first entry.
Introductions ! I'm a guy and what can I say. I have never kept a diary before and am a personal guy. Ok Ok, the main reason I'm starting this blog is cos I've read and heard about affiliate marketing from many places and I feel I must share this knowlege with all of you!
Let's make this first entry, a book review. I picked up Affiliate Millions book by Anthony Borelli and it got me excited about affililate marketing and Search Engine Marketing.

It is such an easy book to read and it makes it possible for anyone with a basic understanding of computers to start their own affiliate marketing business, from registering in affiliate networks to promoting them via Google Adwords and performance monitoring. And lets face it, when a guy gets a million within a year from this business, eyes become wide open,jaws drop and saliva drools. So check it out.
