Coming home to Sunway on the federal,
noticed the studio apartment project next to carefour,
not more than a few months ago i recall a story of a couple planning to invest in that place claiming it was pretty reasonable and well connected to public transport, the komuter that is.
the couple was my mom's friends, they have 3 sons of whom the eldest i've known from church back in penang.
all of them are pretty much grown up and the retiring couple had dreams of opening a small kopitiam, like OLD KOPITIAM CAFE where they could spend the rest of their lives making small cakes and drinks to make do of time.
the husband, once succesful and healthy had been cursed with liver cancer and the complications that came with it.
I was only an aquaintance, i've probably met him twice in my life,
but that time was long enough to see the bright shining light in him, however weak his body was.
so back to events last week.....i had to attend his funeral.
his family, however prepared they were with his sickness, his final breath must have echoed a pain that will linger on.
in the church he looked presentable as ever in the casket as the ceremony went thru the usual prayers.
a strong gush of wind, kinda signalling the separation of spirit.
off to semenyih, a pretty far off place to lay rest, but a beautifuly crafted by nirvana.
the rain that hammered the procession cleared up instantly as the casket reached the burial grounds as if the man himself opened a big umbrella in the sky for his family and friends.
more songs, prayers, flowers and candles
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
he finally lays to rest, may his family find peace.

World Cup Picks
Germany
The host nation, pretty young team, they will have home support, might be enough to take them all the way.
My Prediction: Maybe all the way, most big footballing nation do win it at home
Realistically: At least the semis
Brazil
Need i say more? Favourites and the best when it comes to the beautiful game.
My Prediction: I still dont like them winning so I hope they crash in the semis
Realistically: they can bag the cup as usual
England
my heart still lies with them, however over rated they always seem to be, but this year the squad is finally solid.
My prediction: THEY WIN!!!
Realistically: wont pass group stages, Peter Crouch! Come on!
Italy
i think they have a fantastic squad this competition, and they look more focus and will be serious in not turning into another embarrasing campaign
My Prediction: I hope they're plane crashes during take off in italy
Realistically: I think they can go all the way
Sweden
My favourite dark horse, pretty much the same team as euro, still depending on larsson and ljunberg is still half injured
My prediction: i hope they reach the semis
realistically: they can reach the semis
Argentina
a young hungry skillful team, they can beat anyone if they not wondering what they're lives will be after they win it.
My prediction: they gonna win this
realistically: they can
Holland/Portugal
same bunch of wankers they always are, skillful but wasteful
my prediction: crash out in the second round
realistically: they could go quarters
Ghana
My pick for the african continent, very solid defensive team, they're gonna be the shockers
my prediction: semis
realistically: cant pass group stages
France
Its over for the team and Zidane, some world class players that dont seem to click this time round
my prediction: crash in the quarters
realistically: semis
Spain
got a real good team this time, very midfield packed though, they will have to come up with the goals
my prediction: they could win it
realistically: quarters/semis
and the rest of the teams can suck my balls! but i think teams like Japan, Australia, Croatia, Mexico, Ukraine, Croatia will have my support since Malaysia will never amount to anything, and these teams might have some suprising results, in short they're good betting picks.
so according to my predictions, there are at least 4 teams that can win it. i should hit the mark
