Feel The Wrath of My Lens

It was drizzling hard and Kedah fans were perhaps in such drizzling mode at the stadium, hence the lost at 1-4 to Selangor. I received an SMS from a friend in Selangor, that goes as the following …

I’m waiting to see what u write in jeebsion tomorrow.. Hahahaha..

That SMS was sent to me in response to my previous entry about Helmi Eliza’s fumble at AFF Suzuki. While my mind is tangling at the moment of scribing this, I cannot help to think about how unlucky he was at tonight’s match. He would be at the lowest morale at the moment. While many gave their thoughts about Helmi needing to take sometime off, he has got to start bucking up, and  start bucking up fast.

In sports, people preach about sportsmanship, class or grace following defeat. We need to learn crediting the opponent instead of sulking, ignoring eye contact, finger pointing or even invent clever excuses. The way we handle defeat often influences our performance and overall well being even more than court savvy and smarts.

It’s a different shade of spectrums from ‘learning from our mistake’ but more in the milieu of ‘listening to our mistakes’. Until we could do that, then only we can rise again to claim our victory. Well, 2 thumbs up to Selangor in illustrating an exigent match tonight. Indeed, Selangor deserves the cup after all those hard works. I’m very sure that Azraai Khor, Radhi and Ahmad Sobri will start tuning into refining the team before the next match with Negeri Sembilan. InsyaAllah.

I was there to cover the press conference pertaining the coming Kedah VS Selangor match (Piala Sumbangsih) at the Darulaman Stadium. The PC was very much to address the needs of security and ways to overpower its threat. KFA has been fined by FAM in an uncountable number hence, the many episodes of firecrackers being thrown into the field area, not to forget the crowds that dashed into the field ridiculously.

I can only write this down and hope it will be a better season without all that have been spelled out earlier. As fans, it’s okay to admire our heroes from afar in the stadium whilst they’re in action. There’d be always time being provided by KFA for these heroes to come near to their fans, for example the previous tour held at the many districts around Kedah.

I think it’s about time we fans start to construct better ethics among ourselves. Outrageous behavior doesn’t do justice to ourselves, neither would anyone afford to appreciate such behavior. Well, see you at the stadium!

Kalai or his name Suhaimi is a friend of mine back in the days of our boarding school lives at MRSM Beseri. The event brought a sum of people that I haven’t been seeing for quite sometime. In all honesty, wedding isn’t at all my forte. I was just filling up a request for a friend.

The couple wanted so much to have an outdoor session with me, but to our disappointment, there was a light pour of rain the moment the reception started. It then prolong that we decided to do a whitewall exercise instead. I would like to thank Ayie and Azim for coming along to help me covering the event photographically together.

To Kalai and Lin, congratulations on your marriage

Yes, I know. It’s been a while that I should be updating about this. So here goes

For the record, the venue for the reception in Jitra is quite a challenging one. I’ve been wrestling with white balance and exposure as I’m hoping in and out the house (I’m not expecting non-photography heads to understand about white balance and exposure in this context :P). Despite all that, many of our friends turned up to the wedding - thank you guys!

Well, enjoy view!

At about 0800, there was a small briefing on what’s coming on the next season by the coaches. We then proceeded to our breakfast in the coffee house before finalizing some last minute packing ups. At about 1100 we were all ready at the bus waiting in front of the resort.

We headed to Kuah to do some small shoppings. I didn’t get anything though, hence I’m  already loaded with photography equipments all on my body. We were given till 1300 to do the shopping, hence we need to get ready for the 1430 ferry.

Sorry for this late update. I was very tired to do immediate update the moment I reach my house

It’s the 3rd day of the training trip of which, tomorrow is the day to return back to Alor Star. The footballers been having fun working their muscles out at the beach. YB Dr Hamdan came to watch the training session in the morning with the Ustaz that gave a small ceramah the night before. By the way, Fendy came to fetch up at the beach at the afternoon session. We then proceeded to Sheraton Langkawi to have our dinner, but I’ll be putting another entry just on that alone

Nothing much to be typed upon actually, hence the very reason you’re here is to browse the images

Have fun browsing the images!

The second day of the trip kicks off with the footballers waking up at about 0630, performed the Subuh prayers in their respective rooms. They’re required to gather in front of the resort at 0800 before proceeding to the beachside. The morning saw the footballers challenging at shuttle run in 3 groups. The session ended at 0900.

The afternoon session started at 1730. Only that this time they played handball where the trick is that, one needed to head into the opposition’s end-line to earn a goal.
