The Red Devils of United Kingdom

Had you watch the match last Sunday between the Red Devils and Chelsea in the English Premier League? The Red Devils scored a goal within the first minute. OK! Now I sounds like I gonna blog about sport report. I am not gonna blog about what happens during the match and what is the final score but I am gonna blog about the Red Devils.

Again, this is my backdate post and suddenly I realised before this, I ever said want to post about this (click here) but then again, blame my worst sickness, "Short-Term-Memory (STM)". Not until last Sunday, accompanied TTM watched this match at my home together with my dad, while waiting for the second half match, I showed my picture to TTM. From there, I only realised that I never blog about this. And now, I'm taking this chance to bring you all to the Red Devils's stadium.

The Red Devils is the nickname of Manchester United and the name of the stadium is Old Trafford. During my study in UK, the uni organised a day trip of the virtual tour to Old Trafford Stadium, the home of Manchester United Football Club. So without thinking too much, immediately I signed up and registered for this day trip. My uni organised lots of day trip on every weekend for summer students like us.

Here we come to kick the ball (Neh, I am kaki bangku =P)

The journey from my uni to Manchester took almost one and half hour.

Finally, I got the chance to see the glory and great stadium right in front of my eyes

The place where the roar of 76,000 fans came from.

Reserved for the players and also here where Fergie keep shouting "GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!"

I'm not a big fan of MU but to show to my dad, who is absolutely big fan of MU.
He never ever miss each and every MU match.

During the virtual tour, we were also got the chance to visit player's dressing room. This room contains a spa pool, six showers, two small baths and video facilities which can accomodate up to 22 players.

Smell Ronaldo and Rooney's soaking sweat =P

The spa pool.

Did you spot what I spot? Our own Malaysia's budget airline on the sponsored board

Spotted the former MU superstar player.

Players' autograph book.

Guess who is Brooklyn?

Although can't take pic with the real player, but this already makes me feel satisfy for it.

Before we ended the tour, we were giving a special certificate to serve a souvenir of remembrance for the visit.

"During this virtual tour you'll get a taste of the history of Manchester United, and move a little closer to understanding just why the club has touched the hearts of so many. Enjoy your visit." - by Sir Bobby Charlton.

A Day With Queen of My Heart in Green Connection

Mother's Day celebration is this weekend. So how is your preparation to celebrate for the one who sacrifice everything just to provide the best and love for you?

Every year, my siblings and I will bring mommy for dinner and we also will buy a gift for her. Instead of doing the same celebration every year, I decided to bring my mom to Green Connection on last Monday, which was the replacement holiday for Labour Day. When she knew that I am going to bring her there, she is so exciting (like a litte kid). Hahaha...

The Green Connection is an aquarium and eco theme park of Sabah. In a nutshell, Green Connection offers eco-treasures of Sabah which featuring over 500 species of animals.

Green Connection is also a rescue centre for the endangered and rare marine animals of Sabah.

Start your journey by walk through the cave when you can see creepy creatures such scorpion, tarantulas and etc.

The turtle is so smart. Both of it stop swimming just for me to take photo of them.

Meet the Snakes Zone: Dare to grab the chance to take picture with the huge pythons.

The highlighted area will be the huge aquarium tank where you can see the rare of guitar shark, leopard sharks, sea turtle, bat fishes and even the ultimate underwater predator, SHARK!

Here is the guitar shark, leopard sharks and bat fishes.


The everyone waiting moment.

The fish feeding time which took place exactly at 11.30 am (everyday).

This sea turtle is the star of the day. It caught everyone attention during fish feeding time. Do you know what is it name? Called it "Gangster". Want to know why? Just heading to Green Connection and you know why.

It is so entertaining and fascinating.



"Say No to Shark Fins Awareness Campaign"

Do you know that actually shark fin does not bring any nutrition to human body but content mercury which may cause sterility in men if consumed in extremely large quantities. Shark fin may also harm pregnant woman too.

After the show, mommy and I continue to the other zone where you can touch and up close with the marine species.

Puffer fish or ikan buntal (in malay).

I called it "balloon fish". By the way, this fish is not edible and don't simply eat it if you go for fishing because it believed to be the second-most poisonous vertebrate in the world.

Green Connection is not just served as a center for you to get up-close and see the animals, there even got a "Science and Life Dome" where you can learn and play at the same time.

Not forgeting before leaving Green Connection, there is souvenir shop for you to grab unique and cute gift for your beloved family and friends.

T-shirt, soft toys, postcards, books and lots more is available in their Souvenir Shop.

Mommy and I took a pic before we leave.

In conjuction with Mother's Day, why not taking this opportunity to bring your mom and family and even friends to this informative and interesting aquarium and eco theme park.

DT's Poll

In case you never heard , "Poll" is some kind of voting or even survey which you ever done when doing your research or assignment in your college or uni life. It is a very easy task; whether you pick from the best to the least or put a tick or cross mark.

And if you can see, I served under NuffNang. But hey, don't worry I am not forcing you to click so that my earnings will be increased. That does not serve my main purpose of blogging. Yesterday, I just noticed that actually I can amend or customise the poll in the way I want. Gosh~ I am really slowpo.

Here is DT's Poll which I just customised or amended few minutes ago:

Do feel free to click on it especially on the second questions so that I can know what do you like as the give-away gift.

As you can see, I start to blog since 2007 but not really active as currently. I'd been blogging in friendster before this (that time friendster is damn famous and no one knows the existence of facebook) and I plan to blog in blogger just for one reason, to express and confess my love on a guy. Yeap, on a guy which I fall for. If TTM find out this, sure he ask me to delete it.

There is no privacy in friendster and everyone especially my friends can view it. Really damn pai seh. So, I ask one of my junior besides friendster, where else can I blog and he recommended blogger or blogspot. So, this is where I met blogspot. That time nothing much to blog. Blog about student life? I rather finished my unfinished assignments and do last minute study.

But then, I start to active in blogging again when I further my study to Sheffield, United Kingdom. What makes me to continue to blog? My University organise blogging contest and the award is so rewarding. Try you imagine first prize for blogging you can get £300 which if you convert back to Malaysia, it will be around rm1,800. Kid I'm not. Too bad I didn't join because once again the word of "confidence" is lacking within me. But from there, I realised I love blogging especially sharing on my travel experience and adventures around UK.

Not until 2010, something bad happens and I have lost interest in blogging. Really almost gave up in blogging. But then, you will ask how I gain back the interest of blogging? Simple: TRAVELLING. I travel to Hong Kong and Macau with TTM and my friends and I would like to share the adventures and tips of travelling once again.

From the statistic above, maybe for some of you will think that there is nothing much differences to you but for me, it means a lots to me.

So before I end my super duperb long post, I would like say

"MILLION THANKS TO ALL MY BLOG READERS especially to The Followers, who FOLLOWING my blog and COMMENTS which I received"

What are you waiting for? Click the poll above in order for me to improve my blog and decide what gift should I give-away to those who follow my blog and constantly comment on my post. Don't just be my silent reader ooo. For those who comment on my post but not yet become my follower, I got gift want to give one but too bad, I can't or else it is unfair for the follower. So, you should know what you should do =P

On behalf of my owner, I would like to Wooff~ woff~. It means THANK YOU EVERYONE!
