World Cup

It’s been a long time since I last blogged. I know, lazy me. There’s not much to write about and as I’m no wordsmith, words doesn’t come out easily.  Life has been good with the normal ups and downs. I’m enjoying being married more and more each day and it’s nice to have someone to come home to and share your life with. It would be dull and lonely without a special person next to you.

The World Cup has come and gone. For a football fan, it’s the time to celebrate the world game and the endless late night/early morning for 1 month. It’s the first time that I’m watching the world cup with my wife. I’m lucky that she’s into football as not many ladies follow it.

The 2010 edition was full of surprises and disappointment. The level that was shown by few top teams were not up to scratch. Some of them deserved to go home (e.g. Italy and France) while some were lucky to get out of the group stage.  As the tournament moved along to the knock-out stage, it starts to get more and more interesting. Sadly, ENGLAND was embarrassed by a youthful Germany squad. The ‘goal that wasn’t to be’ had a played a part but honestly; it wouldn’t matter as the English lads were not good enough and didn’t warrant a win.

On to the final; SPAIN vs NETHERLANDS. A rough encounter that would have seen 2 players sent off within the first 20 minutes if not for the fact that it was the final. Netherlands was playing ugly to disrupt the beautiful flow of the Spanish team and it was painful and frustrating to watch at time. Both team were unable to break the deadlock during the normal time and it was on the 116th minutes that Iniesta gave Spain it’s well deserved win and their first World Cup. What an end to the tournament. It’s a pity that we would have to wait for another 4 years for the next instalment in Brazil. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted but back to the normal routine :)

TGIF

Watching twenty20 while playing around with the blog interface. Designed the header and the signature/logo to go with it. Clean and simple - gives the page a bit of depth. Guess that's what happen when you're bored and have nothing better to do. Hehe.

p.s. Pakistan is surprisingly doing quite well for once this summer. This being said, it's not over yet.

[ReBirth] The Chronicles Of ….A New Begining

The following was written few years back. I stumbled upon my old blog and upon reading it; a sense of déjà vu hits me. It’s quite refreshing having the opportunity to evoke the memories of the past and I vividly remember how and what I actually felt at that time. Oh well, I think it’s a noble idea to jot down my endeavour and look back at it in the not so distance future. I will repost few of my old entries @ poetic rambling and will start with the following :) Enjoy.

The Chronicles Of ….A New Begining

December 29th, 2006 by fahmi-y

As another year is coming to an end, people always come up with the initiative of creating a new resolution to start the year with. This has never been a thing that I truly bothered to do mainly because I know that I do not have the discipline to do the hard yard. This being said, I’ve finally decided to join in the masses and determined to start a blog entry.
I do not know (and frankly do not care) as why I’m compelled to start a blog. I’ve always wanted to write a journal/diary since I was a kid but never really got to it. I guess it’s just because I hate writing and have the mentality of ‘Who cares anyway!!’ Well, that’s about to change as I plan to write something on a regular basis. My reasoning behind this is that:

“Time is flying so fast that we tend to forget the event that is happening around us (which is kinda sad). At the end of the day, I felt that my life is filled with empty spots and I’ve nothing to show for all the things that I’ve done.”

 

By jotting things down on a blog at least I can flip thru previous entries and be reminded of things that had happened regardless of how insignificant it is. Enough of my incoherent blabbering … Hope this is something that I will follow thru but we’ll just have to wait and see.This is the chronicles of … 

p/s: I’m no Shakespeare so if any of the entry does not make 
sense to you, too bad
