braziL with the Capital L

World cup this year turned out with full of surprises!! it wil be more as World cup reach final and we just need to wait and keep watching...

First round we can see Italy was out and not qualify for the second round..France pon sama jugak..even more surprise when one of France player was sent home because ade conflict between manager ngan player tu..

Second round was a bit dramatic, when South Korea was beaten by Uruguay..lepas game, most of the fan were crying..Mana tak nangis nyer, they lost because of penalty score..dah main penat 90 minutes plus 30 minutes extra time then suddenly kalah sebab penalty..kesian..England pon tak menunjukkan performance yang memberangsangkan..As a wife to a die-hard-fan England supporter, I am a bit disappointed..my husband tak yah citer la sampai nak bakar jersey England, boleh?? such a drama king betol encik suamiku..

The first quarter final game brought a huge disappointment to Brazil when they dumped by Dutch 2-1..memang unexpected betul! I know most of you including me thought Brazil will get through but guys..we were wrong!! Blame must goes to Felipe Melo when he blatantly and petulantly stamped on Robben and was dismissed by earning a red card..of course la motivation player Brazil dah down kan..then Dutch just take advantage on that la..I also think Brazil underestimated Dutch resulted their losses..Poor Brazil..Try again in the next 4 years eh..

Well done Oranje!

My friend even made a joke about the game by putting on his FB status,

Petrobras (Brazil) 1 - 2 Shell (Dutch)

Hahaha..so Petronas memang out of the league la kan...

Okay..sekian saje laporan sukan dari saya from Nigeria..=P

Can't wait to watch game between Ghana VS Uruguay tonight....but tetibe manager call for urgent meeting plak..demn...hopefully meeting tak lame and I could catch the game...

World of Aquatic adventure

The other day, while I was talking to my husband through phone, he mentioned to me about his friends took a diving license..He suggested that we take a diving lesson too..I said "Why not??"...I am so keen to learn scuba-diving for so long...

Well, right after our conversation ended, I've made some research about diving...Since I've never dive before so I need to find out the basic things about diving so that I will get a picture and know what to expect in later time..

So to make my new experience hassle-free and painless, there's few steps for the new diver like me which I found out from here.

1. Dispel the Myths About Diving
Some misconceptions always keep us hold back from trying a new adventure. According to this article, there's 10 most common myths about diving. Among them, there's few that really caught my attention..

-Certification is way too expensive!
I can't deny this..Even when I asked my husband how much do we need to pay per lesson, I was surprised! But come to think again, bila lagi nak cuba..life is short, better enjoy it!

-I have to buy a ton of gear just to learn
I guess now we can just rent, no?? Sebab rugi kalau beli gears than pakai once in a blue moon jer..But wetsuit memang kena ada la kan...takkan nak share dengan orang lain...so not hygienic!

-You have to be a speedo-sporting competitive swimmer to be a diver
Daa~~Now a days womens are able to do what man can do..Personally I don't think this statement is relevant anymore..


2. Get Started
Learning to dive involves three phases: academic study that includes the physics and physiology of diving; confined-water training (often called pool training) to learn and practice basic skills; and open-water checkout dives to prove mastery of basic dive skills. I guess I will jump straight to the last one! hahaha

3. Find a Good Dive Shop Near You
Dive shop meaning a diving school..Need to find a good instructor..I need to ask hubby's friend about this!

4. Buy Some Gear
I will just rent! I dah ada wetsuits...Ooh I need to buy my own goggle!

5. Pick a Destination, Any Destination
It depends on where I can find the good diving school..My husband told me Pulau Perhentian or Redang is among the best spot to dive..Pulau Sipadan is too far la..

6. Talk to Other New Divers
Talking to other new divers, as well as experienced ones, will help you get through your jitters, provide you with tips and techniques for making diving safer, easier and more fun, and answer any questions you might have.

Only one thing which concern me now, according to my husband this diving course may take like 4 days and I just have 3 weeks in Malaysia...I definitely can't tag along Emir sebab nanti takde siapa nak jaga dia...Meaning 4 days in Malaysia without Emir..Arghh Nooooo....Thinking of asking my mom to come with us..

Anyone who had dive before, mind to share with me??

Futsal Tournament

My husband really loves to play futsal..The other day he registered to join a tournament organized by Olak Lempik Sport Center located closed to KLIA...It wasn't a first time for my husband to join a tournament like this..Even thou he knew there's quite impossible to be a first prize winner but the enthusiasm spirit in him that made me proud..A day before the tournament he and his brothers and sisters and also me did some fitness to be ready for the next day tournament..At first I wonder if I could follow them because of my condition (8 months pregnancy) but when I think again it's actually a good exercise for me and maybe it could help me in labor later..Instead of jogging I was walking around the park..So that nice evening we went to Putrajaya recreation park..The park is so beautiful and you can see a nice view of Putrajaya from there...

My husband and his brothers did warming down after one round jog...

Aksi lompat bintang...seronok sangat la tu..

On that big day, we all woke up early because we need to register before 9 a.m....I made some breakfast for them and we all together drove to Olak Lempik..We arrived there around 8.00 a.m..We thought we were quite early but surprisingly there's a lot of people came earlier than us..So after registered we searched for a spot for us to sit and put our bags..Owhh..I forgot to tell you guys that they named their team after my name..hehehe...I'm honored!!

During the competition but the team played in court wasn't our team..

Basically in the competition like this we are divided in group..In each group has like 3-4 groups depending how many teams register in this competition..So in our case we are in Group K which has 3 groups in it...We had to played with these team to determine which team is the winner of the team and qualified to play in the next level...We are so lucky to be a winner of the group but unfortunately we lost in the first game for the next level...hmm..what to do takde rezeki la..Never mind we play for fun!!!

We are the winner of the group..yeay!!

We went back home at 5 p.m. and everybody were so tired and happy..We end up slept when we reached home...Majulah sukan untuk negara!!
