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
Since it’s the World Cup season, here are more football quotes :
1) “When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.” “And when I go to the press conference after the game, the game has not finished yet.” – Jose Mourinho
2) "I'm disgusted, and we owe it to ourselves to beat South Africa, but as for miracles, I don't believe in them too much." – French captain, Patrice Evra, after their 2-0 loss to Mexico this morning.
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
JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed - Michael Jordan
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

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) “I am Jose Mourinho and I arrive here with all my qualities and my defects. The strength of my teams is the team - not individual players or the coach. If they all recognize this, it will not be difficult to get results.” – Jose Mourinho, after being appointed the new manager of Real Madrid.
2) “The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” – Albert Einstein
JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) "This oil spill in the Gulf is affecting everybody. In fact, when I went to lunch this weekend and ordered the sea bass, they asked if I wanted it regular or unleaded." —David Letterman
2) "British Petroleum said today that if this spill gets worse, they may soon have to start drilling for water." — Jay Leno
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

2)"Advice is like snow; the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind." --- Samuel T. Coleridge (a famous poet)
JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) "The U.S. Navy announced this week they are now using sea lions to fight terrorism. They did a drill this week where they hid a bomb underwater. A trained sea lion found the bomb in less than a minute. The bad news? He then balanced the bomb on his nose, threw it back at the trainer." – Jay Leno
2) "Well, folks, it seems that oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, much worse than British Petroleum first reported. You know how bad it is? Yesterday, I checked the oil in my car, had seawater on it." – Jay Leno
POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK
1) The winner of American Idol will be announced today………
A day of reckoning for the American Idol finalists
The winner will be the one record companies will enlist
The final two have always been on everybody’s favorite list
Whoever wins, Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze will be popular artists
2) Salesgirl loses RM19,400 to chase away evil spirits
Despite all the publicity in the papers, there have been too many such cases
Imagine a girls losing SG$8k to a friend for bomoh services
Told she was possessed by evil spirits, now who has red faces
This is a lesson to all girls, for placing their faith in all the wrong places

QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good too, to check up once in awhile and make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy - George Horace Lorimer
2) “I pray a lot. I am a Catholic. I believe in God. I try to be a good man so He can have a bit of time to give me a hand when I need it” – Jose Mourinho (Inter Milan football coach preparing for the Champions League Final this weekend)
JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK
1) "Scientists say they have developed a car that can run on water. The only catch is, the water has to come from the Gulf of Mexico." – Jay Leno
2) "British Petroleum is starting to get a little defensive. Have you heard their new slogan?
'Yeah, like you never spilled anything before.'" – Jay Leno
POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK
1) Again, Malaysia failed to win the Thomas Cup
So, another failed Thomas Cup campaign after all the hullabaloo
18 years and counting, tipping Malaysia to win made you sound like a cuckoo
When expectations are high, hoping Malaysia to win is almost a taboo
Just like the Olympics, when faced with Lin Dan, Chong Wei again met his Waterloo
2) Matt Harvey has been appointed the official poet for the Wimbledon tennis tournament
A tennis tournament filled with tradition and history
After breaking the Grand Slam record, Roger Federer has nothing more to worry
On his favorite surface, whoever drawn against him will be feeling sorry
Matt Harvey will be writing his poems to describe the daily events in all its glory

POEMS-OF-THE-WEEK
Some comments on Malaysia's performance in the Thomas Cup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another night that almost ended in pain
Another 2-0 lead, almost lost 3-2 again
Another tie resting on Hafiz, almost makes you wanna faint
Another one like this in the semi-finals, you can almost go insane
UK has a new PM........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After much uncertainty, David Cameron is now at 10 Downing Street
After thirteen years of Labour rule, the British finally decide to vote with their feet
A record deficit in front of him, not an easy time to be in power
An uneasy alliance, if the economy does not improve, he will soon be a goner
QUOTE-OF-THE-WEEK
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself - Leo Tolstoy
JOKE-OF-THE-WEEK
"Well, in China, the one child limit may be on its way out because Chinese experts say there aren't enough babies in the country anymore. To give you an idea how bad it's getting, some factories over there are now being forced to hire adults." –Jay Leno
