Ellie chronicles

Frankly am not in the mood to write longer and sound melancholic. Am knackered!
Marking, editing, attending course really take a toll on my time and everyday life. Pardon to my grouses!! I've got many to nag about but just enjoy that video. Certainly each words in the song appealing, relevant and represent me.........

World Cup tournament just descended its curtain; the winner has it all, the loser just bites the bullet. Everybody knows who was the winner and the loser, am not going to discuss on that and whatever premonition made by so-famous octopus Paul. Espana despite losing in the preliminary match advanced further, beat all odd, eventually triumphed and I honestly, will never fond to applaud the Oranje. Particularly the thought of their vile and vicious treatment towards Muslim all over the world, my heart feel the twinge of pain. Hence, I can say that Spain as the new World Cup champion just like an icing on the cake.

Under the name of sport, human was supposed to be united. In the spirit of sport which was born in Athens years ago, human would be gathered despite colours, ethnics and creed differences; to strengthen and bind the ties among homo sapiens. In the name of sportsmanship, the virtue was the greatest nations would be crowned from the rest; power and greed only shown merely to get the victory on the pitch. Alas, ugly things, myriad of coarse incidences on the pitch suggest otherwise. Players cheated, dived, swore, bantered and assaulted other teams for the victory. Outside the pitch even worse, the so called die-hard fans frantically harassed and divulged their emotional belligerence towards others including civilian whenever their sanity gone. Sanity is just like a tip of the iceberg. They would do atrocious thing or acts just to ease their agony and disappointment. They abuse the virtues the spirit of sportsmanship. Humanities are at stake.

Either we realize or not, the virtues of sport which supposed to unite all nations slowly cease and annihilate. Yes, people would glue to the seat, at whatever hours just to celebrate the beauty of the game. Alas, either we conscious or not that team that we adored, cheered was the one who acted crude towards others especially the Muslims. Despite the hullabaloos, euphoria and hypes of World Cup, our Muslims brothers/sisters in Palestine facing barrage of missile attack, bullets here and there. That has long been noted on the books of global knowledge. Recent unscrupulous thing toward our Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) initiated none other than by the Oranje itself and we without hesitant supported them? Just like football, the world is at the feet of so-called superpowers nations so they can attack as they wish, fabricate stories as much as they want and disseminate slanders and sanctions as they crave.
Sigh…

On the other note, Malaysia really nowhere in the maps of football, under the radar nowhere to be seen in the World Cup event, let alone to be triumphant in Asia, so to speak. A lot have been said about it so I won’t rub salt to the exposed injury.

On the lighter note - just cant wait to complete my OUM class...one more class to go....:))

What lies ahead of me in the next couple of week is the distraction which I crave for


12 - 13 July >>>>>>> Attending Seminar on Qualitative research at UITM

14 July >>>>>>>>>>>> Director’s farewell dinner

26-29 July >>>>>>>>> Descriptive Writing course (I wish it is Narrative)

3-6 August >>>>>>>>> Photoshop & Illustrator course


The rest of the days will be dedicated to all students especially when I have to teach 22 credict hours...and on Friday, time is allocated to entertain the adult learners....ouuaghh…..

Some people need sweet distraction.

Some people trying very hard to avoid that sweet distraction.

Me?? I am in dire need of distraction. Either saccharine distraction or not that aint matter. Distract me from daunting and intimidating predicament which lies in my head, mind and heart that I carry with me everywhere. Every single things somehow will remind me of so many disconsolate things which end up myself either breaking my nerves or left wondering. At the back of my feeble mind, I wondered for how many days, months or even years I have to go through such tribulations, bitterness, pain and anguish. Sigh!

I know one day, one fine day those feeling will cease and I may enjoy idyllic life. As for now I observe begrudgingly of what life bestow on others and I could muster a draggy smile on my facade.

Distraction may not be something sumptuous of visiting beaches, monuments, places and shopping therapy. Just keep it low, playing favourite record over and over again, succumb myself to non-stop reading, watching movies back to back and having marathon of Glee, CSI, Oprah Winfrey or even old episode of Desperate Housewives...hehehe...

**At the time of me finishing this inscriptions-Glee version of Lady Gaga 'Poker Face' is the lullaby in my ears..

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

Quick update

This year, the king of clay claimed himself as King of grass...only this year!!!
I wont crown Rafael Nadal as King of Grass yet, as this title still (for me yaa) belong to Roger Federer. Sad to see him fell to 3rd in the ranking and lost the title, lost in the semi to Tomas Berdych. Losing is just a painful experience to all of us. I do understand that sinking feeling and to see him wept in Australian Open last year and to see his straight, frustration face in French Open,Wimbledon really really an agony thing.

So next tournament will be US Open. Cant wait to see that too...


World Cup

Like I said and predict, the Azzuri team unable to pass the first hurdle, first round. What a disgrace!!! Same can be said about the French team, and even worst Anelka was sent home in the midst of the tournament. The so called big names failed to shine and who have thought that Ghana in the quarterfinal, Brazil was hapless in the Netherlands hand, England was lost somewhere and Argentine despite the hype, lost to German. So what a surprise!!

So it goes back to the basic, anything is possible in football!!!
Who is going to be a champion??? Just wait and see...........
