Sore losers

Wah seh… ‘say until woo-leng woo-hong*’ as if it was a case of racial discrimination but in reality, it’s nothing much then their own fault.

Let me quote our friends in China as a personal advice to the ManUre players – 做人不要太 CNN* (‘Do people don’t too CNN’). It simply means, do not distort the truth and exaggerate too much.

Warm-down sparked fracas

Manchester United’s ManUre’s players are believed to have broken a Premier League rule on warm-downs by running across the penalty areas at Stamford Bridge after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Chelsea.

Their decision to ignore requests not to run across the 18-yard box helped spark a mass scuffle between United’s players and Chelsea ground staff and stewards.

It is understood players can only warm-down for a total of 15 minutes after a game and they must keep clear of the penalty areas.

* woo-leng woo-hong [got dragon got phoenix (有龙有凤)] – when we say in Hokkien, to talk about something until woo-leng woo-hong it simply means it is exaggerated to mythical proportions, since dragons and phoenix are really mythical creatures.

* 做人不要太 CNN – A Mainlander Chinese response to CNN’s exaggeration and the distortion of truth in reporting the events in Tibet in March.

An Interim Post…

Some of my friends sent me these recently. They are funny and are accurate in a certain point of view.


The update of the delegates score is here.

Pretty much summarizes this in one picture.

Anyway, at this moment I am evaluating my criteria for linking blogs and sites – that means who and what I linked. So for those who actually read this blog – probably just a handful – you might notice that some new links have been added and some have been removed.

The reason for doing so is simple: I will cease linking to blogs / sites that with views that I disagree with and also those which publicly disagree with me. Furthermore, it is of no loss and significance in getting de-linked (or linked) from this insignificant blog, so do not read too much into the action.

These days I really prefer a more passsive way in voicing my disagreement compared to making a public spectacle out of it. Upon reflection, I have come to regret doing so in the past because it has made me some really unnecessary enemies.

A good friend once said, ‘Life is too short.’ There are certainly more important things to squabble over.


The clue to the password of the last post is: 18+1; 9 – 11 Sept 9AD; 3 Roman Legions at Teutoburger Forest; Augustus Caesar’s Lament.

The password is case sensitive and contains a punctuation. Good luck guessing.
