Abraj United


A couple of days ago, Khalid, our client's engineer invited my company for a friendly futsal match between both our companies. Hence, we laced up and headed to the Jordan Society Building, a 20 minutes drive away from our villa. Representing Abraj Cooling (my company la) were Zudki, JJ, Eddy, Kanesan, Latif, Amir, Prathap and yours truly. When we arrived at the open pitch, we were greeted by Khalid who embarassingly informed us that none of his other colleagues were coming. Apparently some forgot while others were fasting bla bla bla.

Well, less men more share I guess. :) We kicked off with a four on four while one waited on the sidelines. It was intense right from the get go and a few of em' shined over the rest. The star players included Zudki, Eddy, Amir and Khalid. After 30 minutes or so, players on both sides were gasping for breath like a fish out of water. I guess we need to work on our endurance huh. :p Players tackled, players skidded and players tumbled but all within the good spirits of the game. There was a moment where JJ and Eddy were caught doing the 'hanky-panky' on the pitch ... hahaha, you had to be there to appreciate the moment. :D

Goals were aplenty ... 5-5 at one point and the match was settled with a golden goal. Anyways, I trust everyone had fun and a rather good workout by the end of it ... so there were only winners after the final whistle. Besides, this worked well to bond the team and with this, a sports club of sorts was set up right there and then with funds collected to 'finance' future games.

Ole Ole Ole Ole ... Abraj Bolehhhh!!! *lame* :p

Dad's Big Day






The first day of March marks my ol' man's birthday. After much debating, we (my family) finally decided on Tony Roma's at Sunway Pyramid as the venue for the birthday dinner. Parking was easily available too. Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were told that they were full and that the waiting list was to be no less than 45 minutes. So we headed instead to TGIF. We managed to snag a table immediately and to our suprise, after being seated for about 10 minutes, already three birthday songs were being sung. My dad strictly told us not to reveal that today was actually his big day ... hahaha ... he's shy. So we ordered our respective meals and had a really pleasant dinner. When we reached home after that, we presented dad with a chocolate mint cake and sang a birthday song.

The day ended on a higher note when Man Utd. trashed Fulham 3 - 0. The only drag was that Arsenal managed to steal a draw on the 93rd freain' minute from a very much better Aston Villa. Lucky buggers.
