Badminton, football and unemployed grads

Triggered by recent viewing of some badminton...... there is some tournament going on...... I find americans perception about badminton truly disrespectful. Frankly, in my opinion, badminton has no place in America and no one in america wants to be known as a badminton expert. I read somewhere, by some michigan daily columnist I think, to stress that John Navarre sucked..... the columnist said that he could beat Navarre in anything, even in Badminton. Which is not fair at all, because I do play badminton and I find it fun. Nevertheless...... there are some aspects of badminton that can be improved upon..... to make it more appealing. Maybe they want to start with apparel. Why do they have to wear those shorts..... the sight of grown men wearing short shorts is plain ridiculous. Yonex has got to be able to come up with cooler designs. I know there are flexibility issues with shorts..... but you can make them humongous and stretchable.

The astro pundits...... these pundits have a special spot in my heart indeed..... the pundits and their never ending debate on whether or not Andy Reid should be classified as fat......fyi Andy Reid the spurs winger, with a left foot almost as sweet as Beckham's right. In fairness, no way Andy Reid is fat.... not with that kind of stamina. I think the problem lies in the spurs jerseys. Sponsored by Kappa..... they got those body hugging jerseys.... similar to those of Roma. The problem with Andy Reid is..... he must be wearing his jersey at least two size bigger..... and I think due to the combination of that and the body hugging material of the jersey and his stocky frame..... Andy Reid looks fat.

However.... a few days ago, interestingly another spurs player..... the egyptian Mido, came in late as a substitute. This time, theyve got video evidence..... a close up of Mido's mid-section area showed all that fat hanging and bouncing as he ran to the center of the field. Who could have thought..... a fat football player in the EPL.

Enough shenanigans. Next week, something to get me out of idleness and nothingness..... going to Miri. It has been a while since Ive been there, its one of my favourite places. Having a two day "recruitment day" with shell. What a pleasant surprise, how the heck did I got through the first round of interviews. I sucked big time during the first interview, which was done over the phone. Phone interviews, for me..... suck, I prefer normal interviews. I think I am in a similar position as Liverpool..... somehow got through. With that said..... I still need all the luck in the world and blessings for this..... but I am coming with guns blazing, the apprentice style.

For I am desperate. The biggest issue of them all.....bigger than mas stewardess attire.... 80000 graduates unemployed. Thinking that you are one of them..... that alone make me nervous. Today I read in the paper.... yet again the sad ironic story of an unemployed graduate. A female mechanical engineer graduate, from Pahang I think. She has been unemployed for 2 years..... has been attending countless interviews..... now she is helping her father at the stall.... making fried kwayteow, and her specialty is fried kway Teow with cockles.
