Well I am back and still busy

Gosh I been away from blogging too long... I have taken up more responsibilities and more task and trying to juggle with in that all is a crazy thing but somehow I seem to be liking it and it keep me occupied.

I am not sure if it is the challenge or the ability to savour the moment that drives me, but I try to keep my feet on the ground and remind myself of the Sword of Damocles

I have a responsibility to keep doing what I sam doing so long I been given the trust and task. Many do not seem to understand, I am kind of a guy that dont belive for one second in Auto-Cruise, which for the outside world it seem so easy.. hence the legend of the Sword of Damocles

So what is this legend about... Cicero tells the story of the Sword of Damocles in his Tusculan Disputations. The story is based on a legend about the Syracusan tyrant Dionysius II and the fawning Damocles, who called Dionysius the most fortunate person ever. Dionysius offered him the opportunity to try out his lucky life, and Damocles readily agreed. Amid all the gold and luxuries that Damocles could enjoy, there was a sharp sword hanging from a slender thread (and in imminent danger of dropping) above Damocles' head. Damocles quickly wished to go back to his less fortunate life.


So for now its gonna be a crazy week. Mon - Petronas & Technical Meetings.. Tues - Licensing. Wed & Thur - Matches in Pandamaran Fri- Prep Sat - Umpires Exams & Jnr Vadai time , Sun - VIP visits to the Stadium.... dang there goes the week

OLAK went on a scoring spree and notched a convincing 8-0 win over Selangor Police in a Division One match of the Selangor Hockey League at the Pandamaran Hockey Stadium in Klang.

The match was abandoned at half-time as several players from Selangor Police were injured and unable to continue the match. Selangor Police started the match with 11 players but three players were injured midway of the first half. They were reduced to eight players. Before the break another player was also not able to play due to injuries.

According to competition rules, a team must have a minimum eight players and Selangor did not have any reserves to resume the match. Deputy organizing chairman P. Kuganesan said Selangor Police apologised for not being able to play in the second half.

“There was a miscommunication between the officials and players. We have accepted their apology in good faith.”

“We expect them to come fully prepared for their forthcoming matches. But the match will stand,’’ said Kuganesan. R. Dinesh scored an hattrick for Olak while Abdullah Sani Abu and K. Satsih scored a brace each and R. Pragesh was on target once.

In other Division One matches, Petaling Jaya City Council and RAMD played to a 3-3 draw while UiTM edged JLJ 2-1.
RAMD Juniors scored a convincing 7-0 win over Prokeck 11-B in a Division Two match while Politeknik Shah Alam edged Synergy HC 3-2; IIUM Mustang defeated PSKPP 2-1 and Selangor Indian Association (SIA) upstaged IIUM Staff 4-2.

in about 30 hours the Selangor League will being!!!!

there is a lot riding on this

its the pain

sometimes when you read professional footballers athletes or sports people in person sufferign injuries is waaaa even there got muscles. I had my fair share of muscular injuries during my playing days.

So when something major like this happen because i am playing a sport then I get worries. Yeah I broken away form my regular routine and have been pushing my self no no driving my self for hockey and amidst all this I been trying to get my body to cope with the work load and the rigors of hockey.

So officially I have soft tissue damage on my right leg behind my knee...some mumbo-kjumbo tendon name and I have been told to take it easy. Initially when it struck I was imagining the worst case scenario coz back in my playing days I took a pretty hard knock where surgery was an option. This was a long the same lines so in a way it was a relief to knowit was not as bad as I expected.


I think its time to have more fermented wheat

Speed : Police Officer Jack mode - Hockey Style

Its time kick ass and switch on turbo mode, I am 2 days away from a flurry of meetings and activities and a week away from the start of the league.

After being in MHF or rather being away from MHF for a long time I feel kind of rusty, not like that have been falling head over heel in trying to support us with materials or soft copies of information, having to re-type, compile and re-edit and put together a 40 page handbook is no easy task.

If one must move forward he must be prepared to challenge the present system, daring to make changes and motivate other to move forward with him. Only then can progression take place.

In the end we will all be judged by what we try to accomplish.

A poem bout responsibility

There was a most important job that needed to be done,
And no reason not to do it, there was absolutely none.
But in vital matters such as this, the thing you have to ask
Is who exactly will it be who'll carry out the task?

Anybody could have told you that everybody knew
That this was something somebody would surely have to do.
Nobody was unwilling; anybody had the ability.
But nobody believed that it was their responsibility.

It seemed to be a job that anybody could have done,
If anybody thought he was supposed to be the one.
But since everybody recognised that anybody could,
Everybody took for granted that somebody would.

But nobody told anybody that we are aware of,
That he would be in charge of seeing it was taken care of.
And nobody took it on himself to follow through,
And do what everybody thought that somebody would do.

When what everybody needed so did not get done at all,
Everybody was complaining that somebody dropped the ball.
Anybody then could see it was an awful crying shame,
And everybody looked around for somebody to blame.

Somebody should have done the job
And Everybody should have,
But in the end Nobody did
What Anybody could have.

Trusting Time and People

Many of us believe that wrongs aren't wrong if it's done by nice people like ourselves. ~Author Unknown


I am gonna let this sink in for a while... nice people at time is a self perception and at times or a pitifullest other bestow such a title on you

Someone told me we have to be ruthless... but is it what you are..

Well done Vadai!!!

Well what can I say, push come to shove we are here at this juncture, some may find it a culture shock, but we are what we make ourselves to be.

Hockey in Malaysia, its a big picture that no one has an actual grasp. Shocking ain't it but that the actual position we are in. There is no master plan, there is no direction, there is absolutely nothing.

Give each state a piece of paper and break it down to 2 columns, their achievements, and their goals & objectives, they will struggle to fill it. In hockey, we have resigned ourselves to lifestyle that is more 'tidak-apa' then actual care, an orientation that is more noise oriented then object driven, we have allowed this system to sink in and become the norm.

The only way to change is to start at the ground level. Each state given targets, simple one, 1 tournament/league/competition for each age bracket. Under 12, Under 16 and Open. If you work hard to achieve this then you find the rest will fall in place. No one will place a bet on a dying horse!!





When I walked into an AGM/BGM, as I faithfully do meeting after meeting raising concern and trying to make a change, people do not want me in (not coz I am prefect contrary I am NOT perfect, I am the most thick headed, hot tempered, result driven, talk a lot, buggers you gonna get in and out of the hockey field) but I bring change. So what have I done since I was have been on board is due to the effort put in a small bunch of dedicated people fighting against the system, within the system and against traditional set accepted standard of condut and administration.

Yup its RUST, I could sure use a few more helping hands. Anyone interested

wow wee I got the web page up and running
