QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) "Always the players think individually, I have to think about the team, it's important. When you speak you have to be careful. I respect Joe Cole. But he is one of the 23 players I have here. – Fabio Capello, England’s coach before the match against Slovenia.

2) “On Wednesday, my voice did get a little dry, but I have drunk plenty today and it feels good. I travel Economy, so seven hours sitting still on court is nothing." –Mohamed Lahyani, the umpire of the longest match in tennis history (pls see below)

A MOMENT-IN-TIME POEM

1) The longest match in tennis history between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut finally ended at Wimbledon yesterday…..after playing for 11 hours and 5 mins, stretching over 3 days. (John Isner won 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68 (!!!))


A glance at the scoreboard can’t even begin to tell the whole story

When the match finally ended, the two players had already made tennis history

Eleven hours on court, two tennis players battled and fought like true gladiators

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have proven they are truly the best competitors

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK

JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) "Hey, here's an amazing story. A 52-year-old construction worker — a guy from right here in California — was arrested in Pakistan today, armed with a pistol and a 40-inch sword. He said he was on a mission to capture Osama bin Laden. Hey, at least somebody's looking for the guy. Give him credit." – Jay Leno

2) "The first big match of the World Cup is the U.S. vs. Britain. The loser has to clean up the Gulf." – Jay Leno

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK

1) Pudu Prison wall to come down………

A national heritage now reduced to an unwanted wall

Only meaningful to those appreciate what they saw

Appealing voices are heard, “stop it!” you could hear their call

A wider road and an underpass are all it takes for this once great monument to fall…..


2) Furious Indian wife slices off husband’s penis….

What a painful lesson for a husband who has had too many affairs

Armed with a kitchen knife, his wife caused more pain than he could bear

The sight of something sharp around the waist will soon send every man quivering with fear

Philandering husbands will now need another type of protection to shield the one thing they hold dear

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK

1) The World Cup is starting tonight……….

After four years of waiting, the World Cup is about to start

In every group, the standard of each team is not far apart

A team with a German coach, my dark horse is Switzerland,

Ottmar Hiztfield his name, my prediction is a final with Holland


2) The 10th Malaysia Plan was unveiled yesterday………….

One look at the public transport, it is a complete shambles

No connectivty, taking public transport is asking for trouble

Spending RM35 billion for a MRT, who will be accountable

But remember, this is Malaysia, when it comes to spending your taxes, nothing is impossible

2) I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot… when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result. – Michael Jordan

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK

1) A teacher in Terengganu was sharing about the secret of his success – reading & sex

A teacher who thinks in class or in bed, he's the best
By asking for it every night, he would settle for nothing less
Making claims of his sexual prowess that no one can attest
His wife might soon be telling him, "Sayang, tonight I need a rest!

2) President Obama is getting upset with BP……………

Another month goes by, they still can't contain the big oil spill
Such an environmental disaster, only BP can pay the bill
Nothing has been able to plug the leak, not even a strategy called "top kill"
No wonder President Obama is angry as thousand of barrels of petroleum are leaking into the sea still
