24 - one of my favourite tv shows ;)

Sypnosis:-

• Day 1 begins at 12:00 am on the day of the California presidential primary in Los Angeles. Jack Bauer's protocol is to protect Senator David Palmer from an assassination plot, and rescue his own family from those responsible for the plot, who seek retribution for Jack's and David Palmer's involvement with a covert U.S. mission in the Balkans.

• Day 2 is set 18 months after the events of the first season, and begins at 8:00 am. Jack must stop a nuclear bomb from detonating in Los Angeles, then assist President David Palmer in proving who is responsible for the threat. This is necessary to avoid an unfounded war between the United States and three Middle Eastern countries.

• Day 3, set three years after the end of the second season's events, begins at 1:00 pm. While struggling with a heroin addiction he gained while undercover with a Mexican drug cartel, Jack must re-infiltrate the group in order to acquire a deadly virus being marketed underground. Meanwhile, President David Palmer is preparing for a live presidential debate in the run-up to elections. Later, Jack and Palmer must cooperate with terrorist Stephen Saunders, who eventually gains possession of the virus, and stop him from releasing it in several American cities.

• Day 4, set 18 months later, begins at 7:00 am. Jack must save the lives of his new boss Secretary of Defense James Heller and Heller's daughter Audrey Raines (with whom Jack is romantically involved) when his boss and daughter are kidnapped by terrorists. The same terrorists then launch further attacks against America, and Jack is forced to use unorthodox methods to stop them, with long-term consequences for both Jack and the United States.

• Day 5, set 18 months after, begins at 7:00 am. Jack is believed to be dead by everyone except a few of his closest friends. He is forced to resurface when some of those friends are murdered and he is framed. Terrorists with connections to the U.S. government attempt to steal nerve gas in order to protect U.S. oil interests in Asia, and Jack discovers an insidious conspiracy while trying to stop them.

• Day 6, set 20 months later, begins at 6:00 am. Jack is released after being detained in a Chinese prison following the events of season five. Terrorists plot to set off suitcase nuclear devices in the United States and Jack must stop them. Later, Jack has to choose between his loved ones and national security when the Chinese set their sights on sensitive circuitry that could trigger a war between the U.S. and Russia.

• Redemption was produced. It was a television movie that aired on November 23, 2008. Set three and a half years after season six, Jack finds himself caught up in a military coup in the fictional African nation of Sangala. Meanwhile, in the United States, it is Inauguration Day, where Allison Taylor is being sworn into office as president.

• Day 7, set 65 days after the end of Redemption, begins at 8:00 am. Jack is assisted by the FBI and old colleagues when the firewall responsible for protecting America's government computer infrastructure is breached by the same people responsible for a conflict in Sangala. Jack must then secure evidence to begin their arrests, some of whom are within President Taylor's administration, but not before an attack on the White House ensues. Later, a private military contractor attempts to release biological weapons on U.S. soil, while their superiors are working with one of Jack's old colleagues, Tony Almeida.

• Day 8, set 18 months later, begins at 4:00 pm. Jack is about to leave for Los Angeles with his daughter Kim, her husband Stephen and daughter Teri, when Bauer is brought in by CTU to uncover a Russian plot to assassinate Islamic leader Omar Hassan during peace negotiations with U.S. President Taylor. Russia fears such peace negotiations will threaten their power. This leads to Islamic extremists creating a dirty bomb, which they threaten to detonate unless Hassan is handed over. Later, Jack must seek retribution for lives lost amidst a governmental cover-up initiated by former president Charles Logan and approved by Taylor. In the end Jack is faced with both foreign and American governments hunting him down as they seek revenge for his actions against them.

Old Trafford

Manchester United F.C 8 - 2 Arsenal F.C

A Manchester United team with a younger average age beat Arsenal 8-2.

10 years ago i was jumping around like mad fellow who couldn't believe the scoreline as Man Utd cruise to victory and at half time it was 5-1 :) yes you read correctly, it was 5-1 at half time 10 years ago ;)

February 25, 2001:

tho it was only 3-1 at half time 10 years after, i had the feeling we could all the way. Following Dwight Yorke's hat trick, i was relishing a hat trick from Wayne Rooney and how sweet it would have been if the 3rd goal was the one when he lobbed gooners' keeper :)

whatever we kept pushing bar a moment of complacency as usual to concede another, we cruise to victory to humiliate those arrogant bastards gosh i hate them.

the scoreboard never lies & it could have been 9 ;)

Death Note

Light Yagami, a high school student who discovers a supernatural notebook, the "Death Note", dropped on Earth by a death god named Ryuk. It centers around Light's attempt to create and rule a world cleansed of evil using the notebook and the efforts of a detective known as L, and subsequently his successors, Near and Mello, to stop him. The Death Note grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose name they know, by writing the name in the notebook while picturing their face.


mine got delivered today hehe (",) lol the notebook came in a packing too ;)



the front cover of the notebook itself:
the 'how to use it' section just like in the anime ;)

26th May 1999 . . history was made as Man Utd F.C reached the promised land.

1-0 down after having surviv'd a cross bar and the inside of the post and with 3 minutes left to play . . the most dramatic final ever . .

Injury Time

David Beckham swings over a corner from the left with Peter Schmeichel storming forward to head the ball, Ryan Giggs half-hits a shot at goal and Teddy Sheringham gets he faintest of touches to steer the ball into the corner of the nest, looks at the assistant ref. and started celebrating wild.. United jgot out of jail.

40' remaining on the clock ..another Beckham corner from the left as Utd fans massed behind the goal roared..this time a header towards the far post by Sheringham and there is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. .

the thrill is still here whenever i watch this pure magical moment over and over gain.. sneak in

Olé Olé Olé Gunnar Solksjaer & Man Utd came back from the dead..

2 years later, in 2001, Bayern avenge their defeat by knocking Man Utd out of Europe at the quarter final stage.. 9 years later, tuesday 30 March 2010, quarter final stage again as FC Bayern Munich welcomes Man Utd for the 1st leg of the cl quarter final with the return leg due at Old Trafford where i'm sure 'Olé Olé Olé' will fizzle around the theatre of dreams for the return leg.

Manchester United 4 vs AC Milan 0
(7-2 aggregate)

Old Trafford, Theatre of erupted in a standing ovation for a Man Utd Legend.

"There is ony one David Beckham, Fergie Sign Him Up" as the chants around Old Trafford became louder and louder.

Man Utd cruised pass AC Milan winning by four goals to nil to quality for the quarter finals of the champions league.

Bend it like Beckham it said and that guy was my idol. i remember how people nicknam'd me 'ti-beckham' when i adopted his style of play. he was my idol until he left for madrid but that move was unavoidable.. nobody is greater than the club indeed and when he fell out with Sir Alex, there was to be only 1 outcome. it took me years to get over it and i couldn't bear to see him playing in another shirt especially that white shirt of madrid which i hate so much..but time heals and when he was on the touchline getting ready to roll on the United pitch, i was just wondering and dreaming..i was overwhelmed & started singing in front of my tv..

i will always fight for the Number 7 Shirt..and will never change my style of play. ill keep bending free-kicks & crosses the same way he swerves his left arm before touching the ball and bang..!!! no wonder i'll keep wearing adidas predator pro swerve boots while playing football.



but the most important thing of the night was that Man Utd demolished AC Milan thanks to goals from Rooney (2), Park & Fletcher

rooney finishes it off and game over. great pass by nani too.

full highlights:- (commentary in french sowie, kinda sux i know)

Blazers

A blazer is a type of jacket, worn as smart casual dress. The term blazer occasionally is synonymous with boating jacket and sports jacket, two different garments. A blazer resembles a suit coat cut more casually — sometimes with flap-less patch pockets and metal buttons. A blazer’s cloth is usually durable, because it is an outdoor sports jacket - Source Wiki.

i wasn’t very fond of suits nor blazers but when keeping up with ‘How I Met Your Mother’, u can’t deny the fact that the temptation to adopt ‘Rule No. 1: Suit-Up’ arises little by little.

Well now i want a blazer. A navy blue one.

My temptation grew while watching the episode when Ted’s flew trying to date a girl who happened to be the roommate of the girl of his dreams to-be. He usually wears it with a pair of jeans with a nice casual polo shirt inside with casual shoes & i haven’t imagined that actually it’ll look nice - above is the blazer Ted is so fond of.

there is no away i’m gonna suit up like Barney but a blazer hell yeah! From hanging around in a chic restaurant to socializing with a beer at an open bar lounge amongst all; a navy blue blazer is a must lol xD
