Project Runway?

Project runway in our 3rd class? It sounds intriguing doesn't it? I mean who doesn't love project runway? So, as I was saying, we had a so-called "Project Runway" for our 3rd class. Designing some new uniforms for our school here in Malaysia. It was fun all the way. I mean the designing part was fun but not as fun when it comes to the presentation.

The presentation was out of the world. We get to see all the multiple types of "designers" clothes. And I mean all types of clothing. From some sort of a prom dress to casual to a very formal and all. So back to us. We named our group "Lanamifa-Gywa", a combination of our group members name. Marvellous name actually. So basically, the four of us did the thinking whilst Nana and Wawa did the designing and drawing. So we kinda drew-designed uniforms for both sexes. And it turned out to be very impressive if I do say so myself. Well, it's kinda hard to explain, so I just share with you guys the picture.

Nana and Wawa were the designers

In this so called project runway, our design is more of a formal-casual kinda thing. In short, we would prefer to call it simple and catchy yet casual at the same time. So with the drawing/design and all, we actually proved ourselves to be "invincible". I mean we got a freaking 9 over 10 (or was it 9.5 - can't recall). I mean WOW! It was awesome. Had tremendous fun. The class finally ended with yet another assignment *le sigh

The Wall of Restriction

2nd class... It was kinda off for me since I wasn't really into it because of the day before. Tired and all. But then something kinda cheered me up. A poem. A concrete poem to be exact... Yes concrete poem, entitled "The Wall". The poem was off to me. I mean, the only word was "The Wall" and I can't remember some of it. And when you try to read the poem, all the weird sound coming out. For instance, "Thewallaweyh". It sounds something like that.

But that wasn't the fun part. The so-called fun part was when we have to express our feelings about our restrictions in life. Just like the poem. I was so into that since I love expressing myself about something that I don't really agree with. So I was there explaining about my parents are mostly the ones retrict me of doing something. So yeah. The day end with us getting yet another assignment. *sigh

First Class Intrigues Us All?

The 3rd of September was officially our first proficiency in english class. I had fun to say the least. The feeling of another lesson that's quite laid-back, without any "trouble" whatsoever. A simple task was given. And that was to make a name-tag. Like seriously? I was like, we ain't in primary school. Duh. But I played along. Well whether I like it or not, I admit, it was kinda fun.

My so-called name-tag that doesn't look like one

So, what do we do or draw? Simple. We are to draw something that describes us. You know like a sun means you're happy or something like that. Well, apparently I drew a some sort of blank face with the word "huh", describing me as some sort of a blur person from time to time. Next to it was a speaker (doesn't look like one). Speaker? Well, a: I've a loud voice and b: I'm just that loud. Lastly, I drew a phone. This shows that my life is basically revolve with this technology; social media and what not. But by the end of the day, it's not about the drawing that matters. It's about the way we communicate and expressing ourselves. At least that's what I thin.

The Master of Late Goals

Another hectic match but at the same time a wonderful one indeed. Another 3 points to be added into the Man United bag. Nothing much to talk about since the first half was quite slow to say the least. Unless you're saying that Suarez's drama was interesting.

2nd half commenced and Liverpool got the lead, thanks to Steven Gerrard (curse you). But as usual, Man United equalizes. This time not by Robin van Persie, the master of equalizer, but Rafael da Silva was the one scored from a very tight position (not that tight- just love to exaggerate).

2nd half went quite well to say the least since Man United was getting their rhythm back again, and at the 81st minute we won a penalty! Thanks Valencia for giving us the chance! As I was saying, I was quite gutted when for the last 3 matches we have missed all 3 penalties given. So here I was, restless waiting (Van Persie must be more restless since he has to wait for 4 minutes to take the penalty- thanks to this player had to treat for injury).

And guess what? Robin van Persie finally scored the winning penalty! And I was like "FINALLY! WE'RE OUT FROM THE PENALTY CURSE!" And at long last, the game ended with a 1-2 win for us Man United. Glory Glory Man United!

Injury Strikes!

In the world of football, when you talk about injury, it's a common thing. I mean where's the fun in it if there're no injury in football? When a player is injured, you got to see another player substituting the best eleven for instance. But in this case, I was so gutted when I found out that Robin van Persie, one of Manchester United newest main striker was injured during the Holland vs Hungary FIFA World Cup Qualifier. What do you expect? He's prone to injury. That's the consequences we have to face when we bought him from Arsenal for £24 million.

Not to mention, Rooney is injured from his last match againt Fulham. Not to forget the newest attacking midfielder, Shinji Kagawa has some "back problem" or back injury during his training with Japan. Now, who do we have left? Danny Welbeck? I would say that I always put my faith on Chicharito but not Welbeck. He's kinda "off" sometimes. But whatever it is, as a fan, I would always put my faith in these players. We survived before the arrival of Robin van Persie and Kagawa, why can't we survive for our next match? In the end, it's all about the strategy of the game and the faith we put in our manager and the team. Glory Glory Man United!

The Flying Dutchman

An intense yet amazing hat-trick and an appallingly botched penalty; quite an afternoon's work for the newly turned 29 year old "Flying Dutchman", Robin van Persie, who has four goals in three games (two starts) for United. A man of such deadly power and accuracy, why would he even think about taking a spot-kick (during penalty) with such nonchalance? Over-confidence perhaps?

Frustrated: Van Persie reacts to his poor and cocky penalty

In the 67th minutes, when United finally had the chance to equalizes back again, Van Persie tried to be too clever (over-conficence the way I look at it) with a chipped kick from the spot and the Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis saved it. Lucky for him, Van Persie who had scored United's first equalizer in the 23rd minute, converted from close range on 88 minutes thanks to Ferdinand's header that hit the post (thank God), and before he headed the winner in the second minute of injury time via Nani's awesome-amazing corner kick!

A tense game for us United fans, but thanks to this deadly "Flying Dutchman", we've won the game! Van Persie's hat-trick took him to his 100th Premier League goals as Sir Alex Ferguson reached his 1000th league games on his managerial watch at United. Proud to be a Man United fan! Glory Glory Man United!
