Penang is lovely this time of the year in December so close to Christmas. Just few weeks before there was a huge storm that flooded certain places. It was windy and very cool. We did not even go to Gurney Drive. Our local Penangites brought us to the best authentic Penang hawkers. To savour the prawn noodles. This is a good place. Penang white curry. We no longer have such coagulated blood no more. Even the wanton noodle was pretty good.  Another day another Penang Char Kway Teow. I may fail my medical when I return home. I wanted to know what the lor mee taste like. Yam cake and chee cheong fun were great breakfast food in the old days back home. We wanted to be at the beach and we went to the ship.  I have been here before in previous trips as it is still a popular place but the food is standard fare. I did not find it special. Just filling the stomach. Ah, finally the Batu Ferringhi beach. ...

Bye bye EPL after this week, then the Champions League Final and in June the World Cup. Liverpool are flirting with danger as usual. Their sexy, heavy metal swashbuckling attacking soccer aside, they could end the season with nothing. They could have finished it but allowing WBA to level 2-2 at the Hawthorns after comfortably leading 2-0 was bad and then followed that with a 0-0 home draw against Stoke and defeated by Chelsea 0-1.

The only good things left is that their fate in their own hands. They could still get both achievements and their next two matches are the final of finals. Al they need to d...

Liverpool have the potential to be crowned European Champions by the end of May. Real Madrid have won the most European Cup - 12 times. If Liverpool wins it will be their sixth. Real Madrid, Liverpool and AC Milan have the most. Real Madrid will win this time because they have not been that good and yet they are here. This is why quite many are saying it is their year. Frankly, Real have been a more  pragmatic team these days.  Liverpool's high pressing is the modern answer. The mantra is you must dare to play.  Both Real Madrid and Liverpool do not have the best defence. Both are attacking forces especially for now the Reds' attacking trio have hit the net 29 times in Europe alone, the highest trio ever. When Liverpool decides to go for the jugular, they will score first. This season's campaign has proved that they are among the top European teams and the way they went about the business has given them conviction. Real Madrid have the greater experi...
