The best ever...........the Red Devils

What else can use to describe Manchester United? they had won doubles last season by beating Chelsea in two finals. They lifted the Champions League trophy and Premier League title. I have to say that Man Utd won it with luck but they deserve it. Man Utd win it because other team didn't do as good as them.

Champions League final in Moscow, we saw Chelsea going to win it but thing changed half way. John Terry, the Chelsea captain himself miss the crucial penalty kick. Man Utd would not have won it that time. Sometimes, football need a little luck to win, just like other sports.

Man Utd's doubles last season proved that they deserved it last season in this season. They already won the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan in December. They are now in the last sixteen in Champions League, top of the table in Premier League, quarter final in FA cup and final in Carling Cup. Man Utd has the best team ever in history. Even Sir Alex himself describe the current squad is the best ever team he ever had.

Man Utd's Van Der Sar clean sheet record show that he has the better of Peter Schmeichel back in 1999 Man Utd winning team. Overall, Man Utd has all the great player needed in all position, from goalie to striker. Man Utd's best ever centreback combination of Vidic and Ferdinand is the best in the world. They help a lot especially in denying a goal. Evra, the left back, who is also attacking type of player, is the very good player with good footwork. Evra can be described as one of the best left back in the world. All the youngsters like Rafael, Evans, Nani and Anderson showing good improvement in game. They have what needed in a champion team.

Michael Carrick, Fletcher with Man Utd all time legend Gary Neville, Giggs and Scholes are solid in their respective position. All the old members of Man Utd 1999 treble team help a lot with their priceless experiences. Not to forget FIFA player of the year, Ronaldo. He is the engine of the team. He is so crucial in the team like last season where he 's the one help Man Utd win the doubles. The current strike force of Man Utd; Berbatov, Rooney and Tevez was fabulous. This is wonderful to watch Rooney and Tevez play togther with their style of playing. With all the good player, Man Utd look irresistible at the moment.

UTAR campus in Kampar, Perak

UTAR Kampar campus is located in new town, Kampar in Perak with mountain and lake around the campus. It is a nice campus overall. In the campus, you can find beautiful scenery like africa-like field, mountains with a lot of mist, a small island in the middle of the lake full with birds and lake with a lots of water lily. One thing that I don't like is the weather in Kampar. It's extremely hot on normal day. However, it's a nice place overall. Here are some pictures in the campus:

Chap Goh Mei at GK Hotel, Kampar

Chap Goh Mei this year fall on 9th Feb on Monday. The happy thing about this day is we get to celebrate this meaningful day because 9th Feb is also a public holiday as the replacement for Thaipusam which fall on 8th on Sunday. GK Hotel here stand for Grand Kampar Hotel. It located in new town or Bandar Baru in Kampar. It is very easy to find GK Hotel in Kampar because it is a tallest buiding in Kampar and it's a most beautiful one also. I don't understand why such hotel is being build here because Kampar is famous only for its food and not a tourist attraction place. I celebrated my 1st Chap Goh Mei in Kampar, Perak for the very first time. I went to the GK Hotel and had my dinner there with my coursemates. It was a fun time having dinner together. We ordered a set meal which consist of 8 dishes including 'Yee Sang' as a main dish. Here are some highlights on that day:

Student room in Kampar, Perak

Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) didn't provide student hostel in the campus. Most of the students rent their room at the residential area nearby UTAR named Westlake. Lately, because of high demand for room, many new houses are growing in that area. The typical design of the Westlake house is a triple storey terrace house with different design and there are not cheap to rent. The reason they build a triple storey is to earn more from same piece of land. As a student, sometimes you won't like to stay in crowded and noisy place like in Westlake. However, if you have a room like these, will you consider it? Here are some pictures of bedroom, hall, dining area and a small kitchen in the showhouse in Westlake:

Old but still there.......

The first thing I did this year was gathering with all my old friends in primary school. It was a nice outing with all of them. It was 1st Jan 2009. Actually the date was already planned in 1999 before we graduated in standard 6. Together all the students and the class teacher decided the date. At that time, I was thinking whether we will have the chance to meet again or not because it was such a long time. Of course, before we all meet up on 1st Jan, we have a small gathering sometimes within the 10 years but not all the students show up. Lets not to talk about the gathering within the 10 years. On 1st Jan that day, our beloved teacher, Mrs. Chong who used to beat us during primary school was the earlier one to reach first. I still remember we have around 35 students in the class but this time only 15 students showed up. Some others lost contact while some were not able to come. When we meet up, it is interesting to listen to all the different life story from all of us. Ya, congrate to one of our mate who had become someone's husband. And another one going to marry on Valentine's day but sadly i can't attend her party. It was fascinating to see them growing from a small kids to young mature adult. Not to mention about me. We had dinner together that day and we spent some valuable time together. We will still keep in touch and the teacher had already planned another gathering date which is another 10 years or more precisely, 1st Jan 2019. The reason why this time we have to wait so long again is because Mrs. Chong said that within this 10 years, we sure have the chance to meet up because during this time, an average people will get marry according to her, so, we will have the chance to meet up in the wedding dinner. haha......I think everyone have to spend a lot in 'ang pow'. Mates, keep in touch ya.......here are some of the highlights:

All still look the same
