Lab Report
If you can watch a live Champions League telecast in Malaysia, I just have to give you a hats off and a bow, because the time difference is not that pretty and there are a lot of things need to be given away in order to watch a Champions League - and the most obvious, you have to stay awake and fresh at 3 in the morning (where paranormal activity at its peak he he).

Okay seriously, and for those who earn a living working in a company that is not of your dad's, you might have put productivity and quality of work at risk due to lack of sleep, which might cost you a pay cut, or even worse, job cut.

But inference is there to be proved. Buckle up kids, let's do some experiment.

Old Trafford welcomed home the Golden Boy, and the reception could not be better. A goal from a free kick would fit a perfect homecoming, but seeing Stretford End heaved with fans chanting 'Fergie, Fergie, Sign Him' and few other songs about him I could not pick up made me thinking: he is forever Manchester United's Number 7.

Tough luck Milan, now let's just hope Inter persist, go through all the way, win the Champions League, and get themselves distracted from domestic titles, because if you can't have the crown of Europe, a Scudetto would do for hungry Rossoneri.

It is good to see how Wayne Rooney developed his game play and becoming a mature stature who sets the pace for the team. No doubt, an England captain in the near future. Possibly the next World Cup.

But that surely, is subject to Steven Gerrard's commitment to either follow suit to remodel himself and rebrand Liverpool, or settle himself and Liverpool as middle-league club material.

Real Madrid knocked out at Santiago Bernebeu, their own fortress they hoped to win the Champions League at. But few hundred million euros later, the club that groomed Karim Benzema showed them that money might buy your wife a Coach handbag, but not your team a Champions League.

Interesting night of football. Things like this drift my minds away from quite a number of things, like Alessandra Ambrosio's legs and Kate Beckinsale's hair.

I hope for the same effect when Liverpool play Lille soon in the Europa League.

Fuh.

When I was in the UK, I don't have to stay up or wake up to watch football: because football matches are played in afternoons and evenings, and because there are no mamak stalls with big screen, teh tarik and brader cakap besar sebelah meja to look forward to.

Great football, great teh tarik and great people - those variables which might work perfectly to revitalize the motivation and energy to work, hence enhancing productivity and escalate the quality of work.

To which the experiment ends with this conclusion: don't worry if you are single because you spend too much time watching football, because your boss might like you and will hook you up with his niece who happens to have Alessandra Ambrosio's legs and Kate Beckinsale's hair.

No seriously, Malaysians are the best football fans in the world, because we put everything including career and relationship on the line to watch live football.

Correction, live international football.

Ha ha boleh dapat A tak?

P.S. Sorry, I just had to put a picture, and that is a picture I snapped in a post office near my house few years ago. I spent few minutes and gave up to find any possible relation of the picture to this post, because I thought you get extra mark if you put diagrams.
