After the first 45 mins of first half, Spain was leading the game by 1 goal ahead of Germany. Torres scored a golden goal for Spain with his very good speed and body to overcome the Germany defender, Lahm and put the ball in before the goalkeeper. That was a really excellent touch for him.

At the starting of the game, Spain looked quite nervously but after a period they was starting to get back their tempo and created a few changes including one by F.Torres header but its hit to the left goal post and bounce back. If not maybe Germany will be on behind game from Spain by 2 goals. Germany also have the opportunity to create the equalizer but it wasn't give much threaten to Casillas. Before the end of first half, Ballack had his first yellow card on the game so he might be play more prudent and it sure will affect his performance on second half. Casillas also had his first yellow card on the Euro 2008 by arguing with the referee.

After 90 min, Spain won the final against Germany with the golden goal by F.Torres. Overall performance for Spain is much more better than Germany and Germany cannot perform well like how they did to beat the Portugal. F.Torres is the man of this match with his excellent performance. He used his speed and body to beat the Germany Defenders. The top scorer is still remaining to David Villa with 4 goals on the championship although he was absent on this very important game. I can believe F.Torres is not only the man of this match but he also the Hero of the whole Spanish to bring them to the top in European after a very long wait.

Torres was make the golden goal to Spain on 33rd min.

Absent Villa takes the scoring prize.

An excellent finish...

Spain players celebrate for Torres with his very important goal.

Today... at Vienna... the time is belong to Spain....

They claim their last trophy on 1964.

Congratulation to Spain and they deserved to win the game with their excellent performance.

Cheer for them and the respect is belong to them.

After the second match of Euro 2008 semi-final, Spain was booked the ticket to have the chance get to the top after 24 years.

In this match, Spain was created much more opportunity than russia with 19 shots. Fenando Torres wasted quite a lot of chances to bring the ball into the opponent goal. He wasn't the man of the match to bring spain through the challenge although he was tried very hard to score with unnecessary touch sometimes. But Spain still sent Russia home with 3 excellent goals.

Spain started their scoring party after the start of the second half. Just around 5 mins after the half time, Xavi Hernández was make a very excellent finish from his FC Barcelona team-mate, Andrés Iniesta with a very good crossing. Daniel Güiza added another one after 20 mins with a very nice touch finish from a very comfortable overhead cross by Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas did another delivery to David Silva and he completed the module-boosting win for the Sunday's final with Germany, which is prepared to grab their third champion in the history. Injured David Villa was substituted by Fabregas on 34 min of the match. Fabregas really did a great job in second half with 2 very good assists although he is not the man of this match.



Cheers for Spain....

Finally, I was upgraded my Mac OS X Tiger into the latest Mac OS, Mac OS X Leopard...

It has a lot of new features that quite useful to me and they inprove the OS interface become more and more professional...

Here is some snapshot of my Leopard...

Desktop... with my favorite wallpaper....

Dashboard... cant miss my Sudoku.... and the traslator also very useful to me....

This is one of the new features in Leopard.... Spaces... It can help you to group certain task and programs in one space... From this picture we can see that...
I grouped web broswer, downloader and Msn messenger (mac) in space 1.
Multimedia viewers and players are grouped into space 2.
Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Logic pro..... I grouped these all working software into space 3.
The last space i was used it to run my XP (VMware Fusion).
This feature can help me to categorize my task properly and all these programs won't squeeze together in the same place....

Mac? Win XP? is it confusing you? This is because of VMware Fusion. It is a software that enable mac user can run other OS like Window and Linux together without reboot the computer...

I can run my favorite game on MAC.... It is a mahjong game... Ming Xing 3 Que 1... It was running quite smoothly, atleast better than Parallel Desktop...

Well, beside the upgrading of my OS (Software), I also upgraded my hardware of my laptop...

I went to Sim Lim Square yesterday and bought 2 pieces of Corsair 1GB 667Mhz Ram to increase my laptop ram from 1GB to 2GB...

I was spent SGD $64 on that... T.T

As the result, I spent total SGD $134 for the ram and the Leopard. Although it is quite a lot of money to me, but fortunately I have some saving and its enough to cover this. My MacBook is quite a important stuff to me so as a master to my lappy, I need to do some upgrading to let it function much more better, faster, nicer, and smoother... Its worth to spend this amount of money to make my MacBook become better... It just worth it...

Well, this is quite a sad moment... not only for me but is also for all of the coursemates, although it was only 39 persons. There is a guy who is come from Kota Kinabalu(Sabah, as you know), older than most of us (going to be 20 this year), humorous sometimes, and the most importantly, he is a really good friend to me and to the all AVT11 students...

For the benefit of his future, he has to be cruel to us. He decided to leave behind us and continue his future as an architect at KL. The choice is his and that is his future, we will respect his decision and we will miss him very much as well...

Before he leaves from Singapore, we had a farewell dinner for him last night. Due to certain reason, we decided to have a buffet at Sakura Restaurant which is located at somewhere of Orchard.

I post the pictures here... all of these are very memorable...

Before we settle down... (so called BEFORE)

and this is the AFTER....

My first plate is... Japanese cuisine... sushi and fresh salmon (seriously, the slice of salmon is very THICK...)


Second is chinese cuisine... dim sum... tou gua...


Third plate is including nugget, fried prawn....

How can I miss this... mutton satay....

Well, after these all food I still not full enough so i decided to have a second round...

Well, Desmond..... (nothing to comment about this...)

Is the food delicious for you? well, it looked like you wanted to say.... yummy yummy...

What are you wanted to say, Wei wei...

Well, about this picture... seriously I never see anyone do like this before... only spend 2 seconds for the cheer... it is as fast as my camera can't have enough time to focus the picture... so end up become like this....
BUT I still want to say is... cheer for you, JEFF...

Salad, as an appetizer, Stephy had it after main course... I don't know why and she just answer me: "whatever la..."

After a very good buffet session, we had a walk around Orchard Road to let our stomach feel more comfortable and coincidentally we saw One Lamborghini Gallardo (i guess, not really sure about it...maybe someone can tell me what is it exactly...) and One Ferrari F430... That was really cool and we did a compare between these 2 cars...



The result is girls are more prefer to Ferrari but guys are more prefer to Lambo. ANYWAY, this is not the point for the walk. Actually we wanted to take a group photo and fortunately my camera's battery still can hold until that time(because i forgot to off it when i was in the exhibition)... really sorry about that...

These are the group photos...

say cheese, Jeffffffffffffff.... don't be cheeky monkey there, Andrew.... I can't see you, Gab....

Where am I... haha... I am the guy to say 1,2,3.... ok, one more take please...

We will remember these moments... the moment with you among these 2.5 sems, Jeff

and don't forget us, Jeff, our future great Architect...

At the end of this post, i want to take this opportunity to say something to my Friend...
Please take care of yourself at KL.... don't eat too much...
Must come back to Singapore during your free time....
Don't forget us....
AVT will remember you....

CHEER for you, SILVER JEFF.....

(Thanks to Aishah to provide some advices on my grammar...)

This is a 4 days event that started at 17th June 08 to 20th June 08. Actually we was planned to go to this large event on 18th June, which is yesterday but due to certain reason, student group only allow on the third day of the event so we only can go on today and tomorrow although some of us did the pre-register online...

Here I posts some of the pictures that when we are inside the exhibition, although the camera is not allowed in this event...

Canon booth is shown their HD video camera for broadcasting purpose.

This booth is belonged to Panasonic. Its also shown their HD camcorder to record a program...
They simulated the situation of recording.

On the Panasonic booth, they also shown the world's largest HD Plasma TV, which is 103 inch.

This booth is under Sony company to display their product mainly for broadcasting purpose, such as latest product in HD camcorder, some video editing softwares, and also their LCD and Plasma TV.

This is one of the big company on internet devices, handphones and other communication devices. It is come from China, ZTE Zhong Xing.

HuaWei, also come from China. This company is providing mobile broadband device to Singtel so maybe you will feel more familiar with this brand if you are Singtel user...

Zxyel booth and the Yahoo booth is just beside of it...

Guess what? This booth is belonged to Sennheiser. They shown their Audio products and their wireless microphone system, with its software that can be use together with the digital microphone receiver. The consultant was very patience to tell us about the features of their wireless mic and the advantage of the digital microphone receiver.

About this company, maybe many of you didn't know about it but if you have a chance to go to MediaCorp to have a look their transmission department, actually they are using this brand for his HD channel transmission, which is HD5. This brand, Miranda provide a lot of very professional devices for HD broadcasting, HD channel monitoring and so on.

And because of this event, I had the opportunity to watch the largest resolution of TV panel, Super Hi Vision TV, also called Ultra High Definition TV (7680 x 4320 pixels, which is equal to 32MP). It is developed by NHK Science & Technical Research Laboratories. The world's first 22.2 multichannel sound system has been developed to the UHDTV2 (UHDTV only come with 3840 x 2160 pixels). I was experienced it just now, it was just awesome. When the TV shows the scene of the center of tokyo city, what I feel is I really wanted to go in to have a shopping at there... the detail of the picture is as clear as you can see at the exact place. It is a very good experience for me...

As I mention, we need to do a pre-register online before 30th May and I did it before the due date. Once you did the registeration, you can get a badge for this exhibition, which is this...

The only thing that i can gain from this exhibition beside knowledge, is these...
A lot of brochures for the latest product from many companies. I don't think read through these all... but I will try to do so when I'm free...

Overall about this exhibition, I feel that was very useful to me to enhance my knowledge for many products for broadcasting, networking, and some of the AV products. Well, this is a international event so the thing is there and you won't disappointed about this event. I really hope i can have the chance to go this kind of event at the future and my classmate is going to introduce some to us. So? Let see how is the plan going...

Well, I want to say this is properly a very good improve for the bus company...

Causeway Link... They provide buses to sending passengers in between Singapore(Tuas) and Johor Bahru(Bandar Nusajaya) everyday... start at 5.30am to 10pm...

They was started this service recently. Actually before they started this service, they was provided a very good quality of service such as using newer bus than other bus company, air-cond with good functioning and very good manners of bus drivers...

Seriouly, TV mobile is equipped by every buses in Singapore but in Malaysia, maybe they are the first company to provide this service in Johor Bahru (I have no idea about the situation of KL out there...)...

That is it...


Some cartoon programs prepared...

This is my favorite... shows the goal collection of classic players in Arsenal FC like Henry, Dixon, Kanu, Veira, Ljungberg, A.Cole.....

Although they were increased the bus fee from RM4.50 to RM 5, but at the same time they also provide more service to passengers... This is consider a good news to us as a bus passenger... We can use this service to kill some time during the journey...

The broadcast company that provide this service is Asia Media, together with MSC as a status company...

Asia Media Sdn. Bhd. is a media company that provides infotainment and targeted advertising through the use of digital electronic displays installed in various indoor premises.
You can logon to their website to see more details...

Just now i was went out with my father to watch a football match of Euro 2008...

It was Spain against Sweden on Group D...

It was a very exciting game...

After end of first half, the score is 1 - 1... F. Torres scored the first goal with a very cool finish for Spain and Z. Ibramovic scored the equalizer assisted with a very good center crossing...

During the first half, Sweden is played quite aggressively and successfully to stop the attacks from Spain...

During the second half, most of the time the Spain is taking the control on the field but due to the very good defense of Sweden, they can't score the winning goal... Sweden's goalkeeper make a few good saves...

On the 3 minutes of injury time, I was feel that this match should be end up by a draw match but the most exciting part of the game is on 92 minute, a defender stopped the attack of opponent and he was make a quick long cross to forward which is trying to get a chance to score a last minute goal. The ball crossed 3 Sweden defenders and it stopped by David Villa. He bring the ball forward and make a very accurate, calm shoot to send the ball into the goal on bottom right hand corner...

When the whistle is sounded by referee, the final score is Spain 2, Sweden 1...

It was a very exciting game and I know Spain can win the game because their play are much more better than Sweden and they finish the game with a late drama...

Sweden played with very aggressively blocking and defending...

David Villa races to congratulate F.Torres for his first goal....

Villa brought Spain into the final round with a late goal on 92 minute...
