Manchester United
I watched the Manchester United game against Birmingham City last night.United won 5-0 with the hat-trick form Berbatov(picture) and one goal scored by Giggs and Nani. United has through 22 unbeaten games this season and if the players maintain the current performance, at the end of season they can reach the record hold my Arsenal few years ago by wining the League with unbeaten record for the whole season.

United is my favorite team since 11 years old. I was dreaming to be footballer at that age.Till now, United is still the best.But since I left IIUM, the passion to watch the game has decrease. I don’t have the same passion (more…)

I watched The Social Network last night, the story of genius Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, which now become a global social network and a revolution in communication and make the world become smaller through the internet. It’s really a brilliant story and a brilliant idea by Mark which later become the youngest Millionaire.

I love the autobiography films, especially those about the famous and success person because a lot of thing we can learn from them. It’s also motivating and inspiring. A film such as the Pursuit of Happiness bring such humanity values while in this film, I think it’s more about the business idea. Mark, as a person who did the program codes for Facebook has been sued by Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, identical twins and members of Harvard’s rowing team. The twins claim that Mark stolen their idea. What to say is the business idea is not protected, laws protect inventions with patents, creative works with copyright, and trade names (more…)
