A legend retires.

Sir Alex Ferguson is a legend in the sport of football. Few weeks ago, he announced his retirement.

Ferguson is the longest serving manager of Manchester United, overtaking Sir Matt Busby's record on 19 December 2010, and the longest serving of all current League managers. He has won many awards and holds many records including winning Manager of the Year most times in British football history. In 2008, he became the third British manager to win the European Cup on more than one occasion. He was knighted in 1999 for his services to the game and also holds the Freedom of the City of Aberdeen.

On 8 May 2013, Ferguson announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United. During his 26 years at the club, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League and two UEFA Champions League titles

Books, the food for life.

If you know me, you know how much I love reading. And if you're a friend, you'd know how I'd annoy you with the latest books that I've read.

So here I am, trying to convert y'all into a book nerd like me. Its not that bad, to be honest, being a bookworm.

• You understand a lot of references
• You appreciate movies a lot more (trust me)
• You get a glimpse of other cultures
• You get inexpensive entertainment
• You sound smarter
• You sound sexier
• SEXY AND SMART SERIOUSLY WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?! PICK UP A BOOK!

Now let me introduce you all to a couple of books I've recently had my heart broken over.

The Fault in Our Stars and Looking For Alaska; both by American author John Green.

TFiOS is about two kids in love. Cliche storyline? Here's a clincher: they're both dying. They have cancer. Cancer with names I'm having trouble even pronouncing, much less spell it out here for you. Anyway, these two kids right? They have limited time left in their lives and they know it. They're not however, in all "yolo" crap that so many young people are into nowadays. I can't say much without giving away the story line, but I can vouch that tears will flow once you've read the climax. 

My favorite quote from this book: “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” 

Looking For Alaska is about a group of students in a boarding school called Culver Creek, where one of them had no friends before enrolling in Culver Creek, one who had a traumatic childhood, one who was a prankmaster, and an exchange student who barely spoke English. The book brings you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions and will leave you breathless afterwards.

My favorite quote from this book: “I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.” 

Is Nick worth it?

Sunway University - Everyone knows Nick Vujicic. Everyone knows how inspiring his life story is. But sometimes human beings don't deserve nice things, because we mess them up. Let me tell you one instance: The crowd at SSD was insane, and I can relate to that. After all, no one wanted to miss to see guy in the flesh right? But sometimes, sometimes.. we just lose our humanity along the way.

A student was in the queue, as excited as everyone else..but people just are impatient and a student was punched in the face en route to get a ticket. The saddest part was the people in charge, presumably the student council, had barely achieved crowd control and allowed the incident to slip past their eyes. The crowd management was very terrible, there were people cutting queues, shouting at the top of their voices, and hurling their I.D.'s at the person in charge of ticket distribution.

Sunway students, please. We all know we're better than uncivilised barbarians. Lets be better persons now, shall we? 

Family ties never retied

I'm not a huge theater buff, but I decided to give this one a shot. And I can honestly say I have zero regrets from attending last night's show, Broken Bridges the Musical, at Pentas 1, KLPAC Sentul.  This show was a remake, the original aired in 2006 and its back by popular request. The director is Joe Hasham OAM, who is no stranger to the theater industry in Malaysia. Broken Bridges was a broadway-style play set in the 1950's Malaysia's very own Ipoh town. 

Its story brings you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, guaranteeing you to be on the edge of your seat with the intensity of the storyline. Even me, a person who's very "jakun" in this line of events, had a very good time and I had truly enjoyed myself at the actors' talents last night.

Burger Lab

Food is always the best things to start anything. Anything at all, trust me. So I shall start to bring you a virtual food excursion that I had went on just a few days ago.
Are you ready for the most bizarre combinations of ingredients for burgers? Flavors that you’ve never thought existed before? Well then head on to SS2, Petaling Jaya for a food experience that will leave you in awe. MyBurgerLab is a first of its kind, serving only burgers with side of fries and refillable drinks. 

The varieties of burgers available upon requests are endless and will leave you craving for more. The queue begins at the minute it opens, (5pm daily except Monday) and often the line will be stretched all the way to the outside corridors. 

The bun is a unique charcoal black, which is supposedly a healthier choice compared to the normal white bread used in buns for burgers. So what are you waiting for? Head on there for your next dinner and experience the good stuff in your mouth, Burger Lab style (Y)
