Awek Band : Part I...

Dalam muzik alternative... Banyak band-band yang famous gunakan lead singer pompuan... Walaupun kadang-kadang muka dorang tak comel, tapi suara, kalah Siti Nurhaliza yang jaga suara dengan minum air suam hari-hari, kekekekeke... Selalunya band-band ni, akan ada kelainan dan selalunya tertonjol pada lead singernya, contoh macam No Doubt, Lead Singer dia dah nampak macam Marilyn Monroe pun ada kot... Kekekekeke...

THe Cranberries

Dolores O'Riodan... Nyaris-nyaris dapat jumpa dia 4hb April baru-baru ni, tapi aku tak dapat pegi tengok konsert dia kat KL, kekekekekeke... Memang takkan dapatnyer... Dari kecik minat Band ni... & nama blog ni : Fee Fi Fo ni pun dari salah satu lagu dorang...

Sixpence None The Richer

Sape boleh lupa muka budak penyanyi dia nih (Leigh Nash) dalam Kiss me... Aduhai... Rasa nak cubit2 pipi... Kekekekeke... Banyak lagu best, yang paling suka : Dont Dream It's Over...

Roxette

 

(Berkecuali) Huh... walaupun tak rock... tapi semua yang membesar dalam 80/90an tau lagu dorang nih... Kalau dengar sekarang pun, still tak boring lagi... Killjoy, Dangerous, Fade away & my peberet, Vulnerable...
 

Lagenda '92...

Baru-baru ni ada final game veteran Port Kuantan vs PASDEC kat padang MPK 1, depan Masjid Besar Kuantan... Anjuran Persatuan Bolasepak Daerah Kuantan... Port Kuantan kalah 1-2...

Tapi yang best, dapat bergambor dengan veteran-veteran Pahang, untuk team Port, 2 orang jer la... PASDEC ramai veteran, tapi segan plak nak mintak amik gambor sekali, sebab takde kaitan pun dengan Port...

PERJUANGAN...

• Mat Kilau mempunyai sifat-sifat seorang pemimpin dan pemikiran yang matang telah menjadikan beliau seorang pemuda yang sangat disegani dan dihormati. 
  
• Mat Kilau mempunyai cara pemikiran yang matang. 
  
• Pada bulan Oktober 1888 semasa Tok Gajah berada di Pekan, Hugh Clifford telah datang ke Pulau Tawar dan berunding dengan Mat Kilau. Ini menunjukkan Clifford mempercayai idea-idea Mat Kilau.
  
• Beliau suka bergaul dengan setiap lapisan masyarakat dan ini membuatkan beliau menjadi seorang yang luas pandangan dan mendapat kepercayaan penuh dari masyarakat. 
  
• Mat Kilau adalah seorang yang jujur dan tegas, justeru itu dia sangat disegani dan amat dikasihi oleh pengikut-pengikutnya. Pengikutnya terlalu ramai,tetapi yang diketahui namanya ialah Awang Nong,Teh Ibrahim, Mat Kelubi, Mat Ali(khatib), Awang(Imam) dan Mat Tahir. Mereka ini sanggup sehidup semati dengan Mat Kilau.
  
  

DICOP PENDERHAKA OLEH BRITISH...

• Khabar yang menyatakan Mat Kilau mati tersiar di dalam akhbar-akhbar Inggeris yang diterbitkan di Singapura .
  
• The Straits Times dan The Free Press menyatakan "Ketua Pendehaka, iaitu Dato' Bahaman telah jatuh ke tangan pemerintahan Siam pada bulan Oktober,1895. 
  
• The Free Press pula memberitahu bahawa Mat Kilau telah melawan apabila hendak ditawan dan akibatnya dia telah cedera di muka dan di kepalanya. 
  
• Luka-luka itu sangat parah dan dia telah mati di dalam perjalanan ke hilir Kota Bharu disebabkan kehilangan banyak darah. Dengan tersiarnya berita kematian Mat Kilau oleh akhbar The Free Press keluaran 22 Oktober 1895, maka pada pendapat umum tamatlah sudah riwayat Mat Kilau.
  
• Akan tetapi apa yang sebenarnya berlaku tiada diketahui kecuali beberapa orang sahabatnya seperti Mustafa bin Awang Mat(Jusoh Rimau), Pendekar Tok Demali ,Raja Ibrahim(Pak Him), Mat Kelantan dan beberapa orang lain. Disebabkan Mat Kilau dicop sebagai 'penderhaka' oleh Inggeris,maka terpaksalah Mat Kilau mengasingkan diri dan berpindah dari satu tempat ke satu tempat dan akhirnya bermastautin di Batu 5,Jalan Kuantan-Gambang. 
  
• Semenjak 1930 Mat Kilau juga terpaksa menukar namanya buat beberapa kali dan akhirnya dia memakai nama Mat Siam.

TAMATKAN PERSEMBUNYIAN...

• Dalam bulan Disember 1969 ,Tuhan telah menggerakkan hati Mat Kilau yang pada itu memegang kad pengenalan diri K/P 2044778 dan bernama Mohamad bin Ibrahim,memperkenalkan dirinya yang sebenar.
  
• Untuk mengelakkan dirinya dari menjadi tumpuan ramai,maka Mat Kilau telah bersetuju mengumumkan dirinya di kampung kelahirannya. Atas daya usaha Omar bin Mat Kilau,maka Mat Kilau dibawa ke Kampung asalnya iaitu Kampung Masjid, Pulau Tawar Jerantut .
  
• Pada hari Jumaat 26 Disember 1969, Mat Kilau telah pergi ke Masjid di Kampung Masjid untuk bersembahyang Jumaat. Selepas sembahyang, Mat Kilau telah mebaca Quran dan kemudiannya mengistiharkan dirinya sebagai Mat Kilau.
  
• Pengisytiharan ini telah mengemparkan orang ramai sehingga Kerajaan Pahang menubuhkan sebuah jawatankuasa untuk menyiasat. Jawatankuasa itu dibentuk pada 8 Januari 1970. Beberapa orang telah ditemuramah bagi membuktikan bahawa Mat Siam itu adalah Mat Kilau.
  
• Setelah disahkan maka pada pukul 10.30 pagi hari Khamis, 6 Ogos 1970 , Mat Siam diisytiharkan sebagai Mat Kilau oleh Menteri Besar Pahang YAB Tan Sri Haji Yahaya Mohd Seth.
  
  
• Setelah empat hari selepas pengumuman pengiktirafan terhadap dirinya dibuat, Mat Kilau meninggal dunia kerana keuzuran. Usianya ketika itu dipercayai berusia 122 tahun.

saje up sejarah Mat Kilau... Moyang aku... Dulu ingat lagi, atuk-atuk & pak-pak sedara aku kat Pulau Tawar selalu cite, masa berita Mat Kilau meninggal, kereta yang datang melawat, sepanjang-panjang jalan, penuh kiri-kanan... Masa zaman tu lain, nak tengok keta sebijik pun susah... Tapi boleh penuh...

kalau ikutkan keturunan, emmm... Aku keturunan ke-4 @ ke-5 (@ ke-5 & ke-6) di bawah moyang aku ni...

Semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat... Amin...

Fidel Castro...

..."History will absolve me"...

Fidel Castro & Cuba, 2 nama yang sinonim... Pejuang revolusi Cuba yang sampai sekarang presiden (xingat dah brp bnyk presiden US yg salih ganti) gagal jatuhknnya... Sampai la dia jatuh sakit & serahkan tugas kepada adik dia, Raul Castro...

& kalau sebut Castro, pasti ada nama Commandate nyerrr, Che @ Gueveara @ Che Gueveara... 2 rakan yg menjadi karib dalam masa yg singkat disebabkn kesamaan ideologi!

Rasanya, kat Malaysia ni, ramai yang kenal Che lebih daripada Castro... Maybe sebab sering digunakan apda baju-baju anak muda kita, Che ni ensem orangnyerrr, sape yang tak pernah tgok dia dalam keadaan tak berjambang, try la tengok kat youtube... So maybe sebab tu la Fidel macam dilupakan...

Bagi aku plak, Fidel Castro lebih aku respect kerana perjuangan dia dari awal sampai la ke hari nih... Lantang, perancang strategi, tak putus asa & paling utama, tak tinggalkan sorang pun anak buahnya...


26th of July Movement

Semuanya bermula di sini, menjatuhkan Batista (Diktator sokongan US)!!! fidel create 1 group underground yang menyokong dia... Adik Fidel, Raul & Mario antara yang masuk pertubuhan ni.

Plan pertama : 26 Julai 1953, serang Moncada Barracks, pertahanan terbesar Batista. Tapi serangan ni gagal, 60 dari 100 militia terbunuh. Fidel dapat larikan diri tapi ditangkap, dibicarakan & masuk jel 2 tahun.

Fidel pergi ke Mexico selepas tu, reunion dengan survival yang lain & create 26th of July Movement, sempena tarikh kegagalan mereka di Moncada. So macam tu la lebih kurang asal pergerakan 26th July nih...

& kat sini jugakla Fidel jumpa Ernesto "Che" Guevara!!! Masa tu Che ni mrangkap doktor sekali...

Nov 1956, Castri dengan 81 orang pengikutnya (kebanyakan dibuang negara), menuju ke Cuba dengan kapal Granma...

***Dalam perjalanan tu, salah sorang anggota terjatuh ke laut, Fidel dalam keadaan gelap & mengejar masa, berkata selagi tak jumpa dia (yang jatuh) jangan teruskan perjalanan... Semua anggota terpaku & terus naik semangat & yakin orang ni (Fidel) takkan tinggalkan diaorang dalam keadaan susah, last-last dapat jugak yg jatuh tu diselamatkan.

Tapi sekali lagi, mereka dikalahkan teruk sebaik tiba di pantai Cuba... Hanay 21 orang selamat daripada 82 jumlah asalnya... Antara yang terselamat, Fidel sendiri, Che Guevera, Raul & Camilio. Mereka berkumpul balik di kawasan pergunungan di bwah arahan Fidel. Masa ni la bermula perang gorila bermula.

Komander pertama yg dilantik Fidel masa tu, adalah Ernesto Guevara, so inilah asal datangnya nama Che, Che Guevara. Sebabnya, "He’s well trained and is the best strategist", kata Fidel... Lepas tu, Raul, Juan Almeida & Camilo & beberapa lagi menjadi komander.


Dok siap lg nih, nanti aku siapkan, nak gi main bola karang...

Stefan Effenberg...

Pemain: Stefan Effenberg
Warganegara: German
Tempat Lahir: Hamburg, Germany
Tarikh Lahir: 02 OGOS 1968
Tinggi: 188 cm
Berat: 88 kg
Pasukan Kebangsaan: Germany
Kelab Sekarang: Al-Arabi (Kuwait)
Posisi: Central Midfielder

Stefan Effenberg. Bagi aku, nama Stefan Effenberg sinonim dengan zaman gemilang samada di dalam sejarah Bayern Munchen dan juga Jerman sebagai 'Natural Leader'. Dia pemimpin, rajin, bervisi, mempunyai tackle keras dan juga tendangan padu...

Effenberg memang seorang yg 'Natural-Born Leader' dengan kebolehan untuk membawa & juga menjadi inspirasi kepada rakan sepasukan ketika saat-saat genting & tegang. Sesuai dengan gelarannya yg diberi rakan pasukannya, 'Big Boss'.

Pada aku, dia seorang player yang betul-betul bagi effect pada permainan Bayern Munchen pada 90an sampai la awal tahun millenium. Walaupun nama besar menggantikannya, seperti Ballack, memang tak dapat menyamai kebolehannya ketika pasukan memerlukan.

Dia ke Bayern Munchen drpd Borussia Mönchengladbach pada 1990 dengan usia 22,tapi tak berapa menjadi & tiada anugerah yang kemudiannya dia bhijrah ke kelab lain. Tetapi ketibaan kali ke-2 pada 1998 ke Bayern menjadi lambang kejayaan dengan menjadi 'starring role'.

Hitzfeld memang tak sembunyikan keinginan untuk memiliki Effenberg kembali. Salah satu katanya yang menjadi ingatan, "Stefan Effenberg leads this team, many of my players come to life when he's around. He goes up to his team-mates and instil confidence. When others are looking for a hiding place, that's when Effenberg steps forward,".

Ottmar Hitzfeld telah tetapkan dari hari pertama lagi di Bayern ketika itu, untuk membina pasukan melalui Effenberg. Effenberg membayar segala kpercayaan Ottmar dengan persembahan yang luarbiasa & dengan rekod, antaranya menang Bundesliga 1999, 2000 dan juga yang paling utama, Champions League 2001.

Pada 5 May 2002, ketika menghadapi game akhirnya dengan Bayern mlawan Hansa Rostock, 63, 000 penykong Bayern memberi 'Standing Ovation" dengan sepanduk besar spanjang 20 meter , "Milan 2001, we'll never forget! Thanks Effe!".

Dia adalah kapten pasukan ketika menjuarai Champions League (UEFA Champions League) pada 2001 itu. Tahun itu juga, beliau memenangi anugerah UEFA Champions League Most Valuable Player.

Pasukan Kebangsaan...

Effenberg memenangi hanya 35caps untuk negaranya & jaringkan 3 gol... Dia akan sntiasa diingati sebab dgantung ketika world Cup 94 di USA kerana mnunjukkan isyarat lucah kpd pnyokong Jerman sendiri. Berti Vogts & DFB tiada pilihan lain kcuali mnyingkir dia dari kejohanan itu. Jerman juga tersingkir awal di pringkat suku akhir ke tangan Bulgaria tanpanya.

Sampai sekarang, perbuatannya tu dipanggil sebagai "showing / doing the Effenberg".

Enzo scifo..

Vincenzo "Enzo" Scifo

Here is one of the player that i respect the most...Enzo Scifo...

Vincenzo "Enzo" Scifo (born February 19, 1966) is a Belgian football midfielder. Scifo was proved himself an highly promising talent in youth football. Originally Italian born by Italian parents, Vincenzo Scifo was nicknamed the 'Little Pele' after scoring 432 goals in only four seasons as a junior.

He joined the Belgium side La Louviere aged 14 but soon transferred to R.S.C. Anderlecht, first team debut in 1983.

He decided to play internationally for Belgium in 1984, International debut in 1984 against Yugoslavia. He moved to Inter Milan in 1987 but did very poorly, soon moving to Girondins Bordeaux in 1988 where he again disappointed.

His career was revived by a successful move to AJ Auxerre in 1989, which led to a return to Italy with A.C. Torino in 1991. He then moved to AS Monaco (1993) before ending his career with his first club, Anderlecht (1997).

He retired in 2000 after being diagnosed with chronic arthritis. He tried his hand at coaching with Charleroi SC, joining them for the 2000-01 season. Indifferent results led to his resignation in June 2002.


WORLD CUP GLORY...

In 1986, Belgium surprised many by reaching the semifinals of the World Cup in Mexico, and Scifo contributed a great deal to their success. He played in all the seven games and scored two goals. Anderlecht could not stop him from taking the big step to the Serie A in 1987.

By the time the 1990 World Cup started in Italy, many expected Belgium to emulate their achivements of four years earlier. Scifo scored a magnificent goal against Uruguay in the first round, but England scored a last minute winner in extra-time of the second round which meant Belgium were eliminated much sooner than they had hoped for.

Gabriel Batistuta...

This is my Idol player since i was young... i remember watching him play for the first time, Batistuta is very natural striker, doesn't needed variety of skill to scorer, so much idea, very strong physical, etc... The successful race of the maximum anotador in the history of the Argentina Selection.

He still the best for me, today, the striker who have batistuta style is such as Andriv Shevchenko & Luca Toni... I just like striker that have natural instinct (not depend only with great skills)...

Batistuta's impressive career began with Newell's Old Boys, then had brief spells at River Plate and Boca Juniors before spending nine years at Italian side Fiorentina.

There he became the club's record goalscorer, inspired them to win the Italian Cup and Super Cup and even had a statue erected in his honour at the ground, paid for by fans.

In 2000, he joined Roma, where he won the Scudetto, and three years later had a brief spell at Inter Milan before his ill-fated move to the Middle East.

As well as becoming Argentina's record goalscorer, Batistuta played for them in three World Cups - 1994, 1998 and 2002 - and was part of their Copa America-winning sides in 1991 and 1993.

He scored 56 goals in 78 internationals and spent much of his career in Italy but had his last contract, at Qatari club Al Arabi, cancelled due to injury.

Maradona...

Diego Armando Maradona (born Oct 30, 1960) is an Argentina former football player. He played in 4 Different World Cups and received the FIFA award for best footballer of the 20th century, after being voted in an international fan poll organized by FIFA in 2000 to choose the best football player of all time.

Maradona had a compact physique and could withstand physical pressure well. His strong legs and low center of gravity gave him an advantage in short sprints.

One of Maradona's trademark moves was Dribbing full-speed as a left wing, and on reaching the opponent's goal line, delivering lethally accurate passes to his teammates. Another trademark was the Rabona, a reverse-cross pass shot behind the leg that holds all the weight. He was also a dangerous Free Kick taker.

For me, Maradona is the king of Fotballer... Compare to Pele, i think Maradona is ahead of Pele in every part of fthe game (please don't compare personal life)...

Career statistics
Club
His overall average of goals scored per match in domestic club competitions is 0.53.
International
34 goals in 91 app for Argentina (1977-1994)
21 matches for Argentina in 4 World Cups (1982, 1986, 1990, 1994)
World Cup record : 16 times as captain of the national team.
Tied for second-highest goal-scorer from Argentina in World Cup finals (surpassed by Gabriel Batistuta in 1998)
