*Ali Al-Habshi*


Unless you're a sports fan, specifically football fan, you won't know who Ali Al-Habshi is. A few moments ago I just watched the rerun of Wigan vs Liverpool Premier League match over the weekend. The match ended in a score-less draw and a lot of it was attributed to the goalkeeping skills of Ali much to the relief of many Wigan's supporters I'm sure. Liverpool, the stronger team in the EPL, had numerous chances to score and I thought they control the match. Ali made numerous saves including saving a penalty, so I think Ali would deserve the Man of the Match award. Being the only player from the Middle East (Oman) playing in the EPL he certainly has made a name for himself and made his countrymen proud.

Big Ride Cuti-cuti 1Malaysia


The idea is to make Putrajaya as a cycling destination, with cycling packages offered to tourists. It's a good idea but need some effort and a bit of ingenuity to make at a success. As it is Putrajaya is already popular with local cyclists even if only a small portion of today's 1,000+ riders are Putrajaya residents.
