Kos sara hidup di KL

Tadi tiba-tiba terfikir pasal tajuk ini. Sebabnya aku dan isteri pun bakal menjadi penduduk KL/bandaraya bila tamat belajar tahun depan (insyaAllah). Dengan kerja sebagai doktor pelatih dan gaji mula gred u41 (sekitar Rm 3500) aku nak tengok mampu ke tidak duduk di KL.

Kita ambil yang asas atau normal untuk orang KL. Maknanya tempat tinggal, makanan, minuman, kereta, petrol dan juga bil-bil berkaitan.

1. Sewa rumah. Di KL kita boleh agak sewa rumah bukannya murah. Jenis rumah dan kawasan memang main peranan. Aku pun sendiri tak berapa reti di KL jadi kita ambil yang paling maksimum yang aku fikirkan aku sanggup bayar iaitu sebanyak Rm 650.
2. Makanan dan minuman. Doktor pelatih sudah tentu sibuk. Banyak kerja. Jadi aku tak boleh nak harapkan isteri aku nak masak di rumah. Penat. Jadi makan di luar. Sekurang-kurangnya 3 kali sehari dan setiap kali makan Rm 6 seorang. Maknanya Rm 6 x 2 x 3 x 30 = Rm 1080.
3. Bil. Ini termasuk bil elektrik, air, telefon (bimbit). Elektrik = Rm 80. Air = Rm 80. Telefon = Rm 60 x 2. Jumlah Rm 80 + Rm 80 + Rm 120 = Rm 280.
4. Pinjaman kereta. Kereta nasional pilihan saya!! Rm 650.
5. Petrol. Rm 200.

Jumlah semua sekali Rm 650 + Rm 1080 + Rm 280 + Rm 650 + Rm 200 = Rm 2860.

Ok. Tu dia. Belanja asas aku kalau nak duduk KL. Ni tak termasuk belanja realiti sebenar pada ibu bapa, isteri, adik-adik, mertua, Astro, Streamyx, Courts Mammoth, gajet-gajet, anak-anak di masa depan, ASB, loan etc.

Kalau aku tambahkan sekali dengan belanja realiti sebenar dan asas itu pasti tidak cukup untuk aku tanggung seorang. Syukur isteri aku pun akan kerja sekali. Ringan sikit beban. Dalam masa nak tunggu aku jadi kaya, wajar aku beri kebenaran pada dia untuk berkerja. Lagipun penat dia belajar 6 tahun tak akan nak suruh jadi housewife je. Baik suruh dia jadi HouseOfficer. :)

3 times in a row. What the h**l.

It's a shit feeling when the final whistle blew at Anfield last Sunday. Now it's 3 times in a row we have lost to Liverpool. Well generally they deserve it but I am with Ferguson about the referee. He seems inconsistent in his decision and I really think he was a little bit bias to Man Utd. But I don't want to be a sore loser and will say they deserve to win. United can't seem to handle the aggressive play by Liverpool.

By placing 2 midfielders in the midfield we were outplayed in the middle. And there is a question of Scholes in the 1st eleven. I thought it will be the partnership of Anderson and Carrick. Anderson should have played in this game as he has more stamina and power to absorb the aggressiveness of Liverpool player in the middle. He can provide a shield while letting Carrick provides his pass. In the game, Carrick rely too much on Scholes to deliver and a little bit loss about his role that is to shield. In the end both really had to provide cover at the back as Liverpool attack through the middle.

The strikers are ok but I think they should do more. Berbatov-Rooney axis is good and only just they were not really protected by the referee. Really think Carragher should be sent off and Masherano, Lucas booked for their persistent fouling of Berbatov. Also they lack supplies from the midfielders.

Valencia is not good enough for United. I agree with an online newspaper sometime ago that United don't have quality wingers this season. After the selling of C.Ronaldo (not really a winger but still) we really don't have the same penetration he provided us for the past 4 years. Ferguson should really look into January buy if he wants to strengthened this part of United play. A.Valencia really lacks idea and he tends to use his right leg when in some situations left leg is a logical one. Also it's really hard to see he trust his partner (in this game O'Shea) as he will pass the ball back while a simple one-two will be logical.

I can go on to talk about what I think for this game but I just want to summarize now because of my frustration. SAF was wrong in his choice for this game. He should left Scholes and Giggs out. He should trust his young players more.
