Men are from Mars....

I found this very interesting article in Sunday Star two days ago and I want to share it.

A WIFE's diary:
Sunday night - He's been acting so weird. We had made plans to meet for coffee. I had been shopping with my friends all day long and was late getting to the cafe; that's what I thought he was upset about, but he made no comment.

Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk; he agreed but he was still quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong; he said, "Nothing". I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.

On the way home I told him that I loved him - he simply smiled and kept driving! Why didn't he say, "I love you, too"?! When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me any more. He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed so distant.

Finally, I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed. I decided that I could not take it any more, so I decided to confront him with the situation... but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.

Something Fishy

At first, I would not want to comment about anything about World Cup except maybe the final games but after watching a match between Czech Republic and Ghana (17 June 2006), I feel like I need to voice my opinion. But the definite decision came when I saw the article that was public the next day (18 June 2006) on The Star, Malaysia.

Okay, about the match, there is nothing wrong with the player at first but judging from the way the referee doing his responsibility, I would says that there are two possibilities of why the outcome is like that.

The referee, Horatio Elizondo of Argentine are certainly in favour of Ghana by the way he judge tackle and honouring freekicks and penalties. There are two possibilities of this would happened, that is either he has been bribe by Ghana or the international bookies. The other possibilities would be for the FIFA itself that want at least an African country that could reaches the second round.

Anyone who watched the match would agree with me that the referee has not done a good job and should be investigate on the possibility of match-fixing.

If you want me to let you know what I think the referee has done wrong, I would say that Ghana penalty kick should not have been awarded (no contact between playere); a few Ghana free kick should not have been awarded as well (no contact between players); Ghana offside not called (the second Ghana goal to be particular); Czech's should be awarded some freekicks (player down on purpose by Ghana's player) and at least a penalty (player down on purpose by Ghana's player).

The only real goal of the game is the first Ghana goal. In my opinion, the result should be a 1-1 draw.

And about the article published on The Star:

"World Cup debutants Ghana kicked some life back into African football yesterday with a well-deserved 2-0 win over the Czech Republic..."

I really felt that this paragraph are overly written and somehow, I guess the fella who has written the article did not watch the game.

Mind my if I am wrong but this is what I felt.

Betting Freak Who Lost It All

This is an article that is printed in today's The Star and I hope everyone could read it after this, in case you missed it today...

The last World Cup left him with more than RM1mil in debts and a broken home.

Today, the 48-year-old man, known as Fei Lo (Fatty) is serving time in the Simpang Renggam prison together with his son, who is in his early 20s. They were arrested for selling psychotropic pills to pay off their debts.

Fei Lo's world went bust four years ago. According to his good friend who only wished to be identified as James, Fei Lo is a betting freak who will “bet on anything”.

“Fei Lo has no favourite team but will bet on any match. Given the chance, he will bet on this year’s World Cup from behind bars,” said James.

To pay off his debts, Fei Lo had to surrender RM500,000 worth of stocks and also give up a major share in one of the city’s biggest nightclubs.

This was not enough, so he turned to loan sharks, and sold his upmarket semi-detached house and Mercedes-Benz.

Fei Lo became a “wanted man” on the loan sharks’ list and went on the run. His wife left him when people started turning up at their house to get him to repay his debts.

“He made money at times but there were more losses than winnings,” said James.

Johor MCA Complaints Bureau chief Low Teh Hian advised punters hoping to make a quick buck during the World Cup season to refrain from borrowing from loan sharks.

He said during the last World Cup, at least 10 gamblers approached him for assistance when they could not repay the loan sharks.

As a Buddhist, I hope that you would not bet on anything even though you might be a diehard football fan and that betting is not exactly in the Five Precepts (It is, however, consider a part of stealing). Also, NEVER EVER go for loan sharks to get any loan... You will live to regret it. I have seen alot and I certainly don't want to see it happening to you. Please...
