The Remarkable Red Devils...

Yippiieeee.... Glory..Glory Man United !!!


CLASSIC

Yea...we couldn't have done it without Da Boss
my heroes !!!
bet RVP is happy now that he made a good decision joining MU...TQ RVP
 "For Man United, we stand for something more than any other person, any player, any supporter. Its the soul of a sporting organisation which goes on from year to year, making history all the time. They remain a club with a rich vein of character and faith. Because of that they have no fear of the morrow."

A United Fan since 1990s

Sláinte Sir Alex !

I received texts this morning "are you sad that your coach @ manager is leaving"
Sigh ** shocked, disappointed and very sad
 
Headlines today read "Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring as manager of Manchester United, the club has confirmed". Disheartening but true. The Devils are losing a great coach who's been with the team for almost 26 years ! Whoaaa... The Scotsman secured his 13th Premier League title, 5 FA Cup titles, 2 Champions League titles and 4 league titles with Manchester United making himself the most successful manager in British football history ! Our final game for this season-on May 19, will be his 1,500th in charge.(Like...seriously)..
 
Fergie (as he's fondly known) steps aside as the greatest figure in football management ! Moyes, Mourinho or who ever it is expected to replace him...have really BIG shoes to fill.
 
So here's a tribute to a REAL HERO...Glory Glory !

EXCELLENT SERVICE AWARD 2012

On April 29th, 2013 I was among 115 recipients confered the Ministry of Tourism EXCELLENT SERVICE AWARD 2012.
Receiving award from my bosses - Minister & Dato' Dr. KSU
Best boss anyone can get - Dato' Dr. Ong- KSU & Dato' Mirza - KP Tourism

Whooohooo....
A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could...

Calling Chennai...

Date : 25th - 27th April 2013

We travelled from Ooty to Chennai by road and it took us almost 10 hours...**bloody tiring**.... Poor mom. Thankfully the highway road was good and our journey turned out somewhat smooth & saw this along the way...
 
 





108 Sivalinggam Temple

Melmaruthuva Amman Temple (some festival goin on)

 
Finally we arrived Chennai at night. Our final 3 day 'to-do list' was to spend some time in Chennai. My aunt wanted to go shopping hence we stayed at T.Nagar.

 
I'd like to recommend this place to anyone visiting Chennai...excellent ! Star City Apt !

Theagaraya Nagar, popularly known by its abbreviated form T. Nagar, is a neighbourhood in the city of Chennai. According to the 2012 Cushman & Wakefield report Main Streets Across the World, Khader Nawaz Khan Road at Nungambakkam ranked 10th position in the list of Top 10 Global Highest Retail Rental Growth Markets 2012. Hence, this 6 km-long stretch of street has been the heart of shopping... a majority of them selling textiles or gold jewelry.
 
However, considering the variety, we opted to go to Purasalwakam first,another shopping district in Chennai,close to the Chennai Central and Egmore railway stations. Traffic congestion is at peak  in Chennai at all time.

No...I am not controlling traffic..

 
 
The stretch of retail & jewellery stores
Oh ya...we also bought sweeets....super delicious ! Yum Yum...

 
This time around, we travelled everywhere using the auto. It was convenient and easier compared to any other mode of transportation.
 We've travelled 1,159.7 km in 9 days..pheww...and that's excluding trips around Chennai. It was a good trip..better than 2009 I guess. Now, I can't wait to go home....back to Malaysia...home sweet home.
Chennai to Trichy - 325.2km
Trichy to Ooty - 287.2km
Ooty to Chennai - 547.3km
Till then, adios Chennai...thank you
