Manchester United vs Liverpool matches are always considered something special here in Malaysia.
This is because, if you combine the fans from both these 2 teams and compare against fans that support other English teams, then MU&Pool fans outnumber the rest.
The 2 teams won more domestic trophies than any other clubs and the tradition goes back many many years ago.
As I grow older (but not necessarily wiser), I could not care less who wins this classic game.
3 points and a bragging rights is for grabs.
I predict a MU win based on current form.

High Expectations
Expectations are always high when you deal with High Ranking officers (like company CEOs) as they want the organisation to excel.
Nothing wrong with it. But High expectations WITHOUT Allah in the equation usually brings a lot of tension, frustration, confusion and unnecessary negative feelings.
Mukmins must remember that there are 2 components when we do things:-
1. If Allah permits
2. Our own efforts
When we execute things in order to achieve a certain objective, we have to do our best and make dua to Allah to achieve it. Then the execution becomes complete.
If we have done our level best and we achieve the objective, thank Allah for the success.
If we have done our level best, but still did not achieve the objective, then Allah did not permit it due to His All Knowing. He has something better for you.
If we have NOT done our best and we achieve the objective, thank Allah but be conscience that next time we must give our best because we got lucky this time.
Most of the time, we pity people who have high expectations, and are constantly leading a life full of tense and never at peace.
Make dua to Allah to protect us from the above. Aamiin.

Comparison between MU under Moyes and LVG
Comparing Man Utd under LVG and Moyes on a game to game, there is not much difference in terms of points collected up until 14 games.
Both have collected almost the same points. The only difference is the style of play, where you can see that MU under LVG plays much faster pace and with greater determination.
It will be a very long and tough season and I still stick to my prediction that Man Utd will finish among the top 5.
In the mean time, enjoy the matches. Man Utd can only get better as the players blend in and positive results will definitely come.

LIFE is like a DOUBLE EDGE SWORD
It is a Friday afternoon, and heavy rain in KL..
Yes, heavy rain reminds us of challenges in life... never ask for a lighter rain. Just pray to Allah for a better umbrella.
That should be the attitude! When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Life in NOT about finding the right person, but creating the right RELATIONSHIP.
It is not how we care in the beginning, but how we care till the very end.
Some people will throw stones in your path. It all depends on what you make with them. Be like the bridge, you are the architect of your life.
Search for a GOOD HEART, do not search for a beautiful face. Because beautiful things are not always good, but GOOD THINGS are ALWAYS beautiful.
Often we lose hope in life and think it is the end... Remember Allah, it is just the MEANS.. the end will be the akhirat
Have iman and have a successful life.
Allah gives, gives and forgives
Human gets, gets and forgets
This cannot be coincidence in life:-
1. LIFE has 4 letters so does DEAD
2. HATE has 4 letters so does LOVE
3. ENEMIES has 7 letters so does FRIENDS
4. LYING has 5 letters so does TRUTH
5. HURT has 4 letters so does HEAL
6. NEGATIVE has 8 letters so does POSITIVE
7. FAILURE has 7 letters so does SUCCESS
8. BELOW has 5 letters so does ABOVE
9. CRY has 3 letters so does JOY
10.ANGER has 5 letters so does HAPPY
11.RIGHT has 5 letters so does WRONG
12.RICH has 4 letters so does POOR
13.FAIL has 4 letters so does PASS
14.KNOWLEDGE has 9 letters so does IGNORANCE
Are all of them CO-INCIDENCE?
We should choose wisely, as LIFE is like a DOUBLE EDGE SWORD.
If you think the ALARM CLOCK woke you up, try putting it beside a dead body. Allah's mercy wake us up every morning. So be GRATEFUL!
Ya Rabb, please2 keep us among the people who are GRATEFUL to you...Aamiin

A few of Allah's slaves.....
I have a distant friend who NEVER complain. I NEVER hear him complain about anything.
He just accept things as it comes. Some people call him a "blur" guy.
Recently I asked him "Why are you not complaining?"
He answered "Why should I? Whatever happens in this world has a reason by Allah. He knows best"
Masyaallah...I began to respect him so very HIGHLY. By not complaining, this friend of mine shows really HIGH GRATITUDE towards Allah.
I remember 1 ayat in Quran, Surah AsSaba':13 "..a few of my slaves are GRATEFUL"
On the contrary, I seach for "most people" in the Holy Quran and found
1. do not know
2. do not give thanks
3. do not believe
And if you search for "most of them", I found
1. defiantly disobidient
2. ignorant
3. turn away
4. do not listen
I made a quick survey of the the surroundings now. Almost everyone complained in one way or the other. With social media, the amount of complains increased exponentially.
Ya Rabb,make us among a few of your slaves. Make us remember you, being grateful to you and serving you in order to seek your pleasure...
Aamiin.

Ya Allah.. continue guide us...
Sometimes ideas to write come easily without even thinking...
Allah owns everything in this world & the next. Our body and soul belongs to Allah.
We do not own anything. We shall return to HIM one day.
So have no worries. This life is a test for all of us. When our time comes, we have to return to Allah, whether we are ready or otherwise.
We have to be prepared to part and return to him.
Allah has given us the guidance in the form of Quran & Rasul. We are to follow them if we want to be successful and return to HIM successfully.
There is a reward waiting for us in our PERMANENT home. There is also punishment.
The best of all people are the people of taqwa. They live the life according to Allah's instructions. They find peace in this world and the hereafter.
These people, nobody own them. They only strive for the pleasure from Allah.
The people of taqwa, Allah protect them. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah.
They know that Allah is the ONE that gives them guidance. They check themselves as not to be ARROGANT, but to be a humble slave of Allah.
"Ya Rabb..guide me to your straight path. Do not let us stray away. Accept us to be your slave Ya Allah. Save us from the fire of jahannam"

Life is like a roller coaster ride..
Life is like a roller coaster.. there will be highs and lows.. that is what makes it interesting. So accept life as it is..not perfect unfair at times
This dunya life is a testing ground.. there will be easy tests and there will be difficult ones..
There will be 2 extremes of emotions in life
1. being too confident and becomes arrogant
2. having no confidence and become hopeless and give up
Do not fall into these 2 extreme emotions. Always check yourself to be confident but not arrogant. Argue with facts and keep your emotions at check.
When speaking, think of 3 things:-
1. Am I speaking the truth?
2. It is necessary?
3. Is it kind?
So, our main objective is when you are at your low -> still perform the BARE MINIMUM
And when you are at your High -> make sure your high is higher than before
This tactic can pull you through this roller coaster life.
