Saturday 27 October 2007, in the morning when I searched for your latest photos at Yahoo News Photos, I found the photos of Facebook.com website, with the captions explaining about your latest acquisition of 1.6 percent minority equity at Facebook.com for $240 million, and no other latest photos of you that day. 

It inspired me to immediately browsed the Facebook.com site and registered as member.

In the afternoon when I was leaving the Internet Shop, the drizzle of rain began to fall, I thought it would only keep on drizzling so I continued pedaling my bicycle. Apparently the rain began to get heavier, so I stopped by at Vinna Mart, a small supermarket approximately 7 by 8 meters inside. The rain turned to fall long enough, more than half an hour, that I decide to have a hot dog at Edam, a kiosk in the front terrace of the supermarket. 

When the rain began to abate, though still drizzle, I continued pedaling the bicycle, until approximately a mile later the rain turned to fall rather heavier again, so I stopped again in front of an elementary school at Griya Cinere, just for a while, five minutes later the rain abated again and I resumed the trip. Approaching the corner toward Wisma Cakra where I live, the rain turned heavier again, this time much heavier, so I waited in the veranda of a small shop in the corner. almost fifteen minutes later, I resumed home in the drizzle of rain. At night I fell asleep earlier, around half past six. At nine thirty I woke up, had a meal, and watched TV.

Almost midnight when I turned the channel to Lativi, there was a live program of English Premiere League ( EPL ), the match was between Manchester United against Middlesbrough. I stayed on that channel to watch the match. 

It was the first time I watched the match of EPL again, since this year's season began on August 2007. Last year's season it was Trans-7 that broadcasted the EPL. While for this year's season, at first there were some disputes because a Malaysian channel TV operating in Indonesia claimed to have the license of monopolizing the program this year. I have no idea how, but later on Lativi could also broadcast it.   

The final result was 4 - 1 for Manchester United. The first goal was made by Nani. His name is like the name of my friend in the junior and senior high school, Nanny, an Indonesian with Dutch mother. During the junior and senior high school Nanny lived at Minangkabau Street. Minangkabau is an ethnic name from West Sumatera, the origin of Lativi's owner, Mr. Abdul Latief.  

The second goal was by Wayne Rooney, while the third and fourth goals were by Carlos Tevez. The last name of Carlos Tevez is like related to the Facebook.com that I just joined a few hours earlier in the morning. Carlos Tevez just joined Manchester United this season, last year he was playing in another club.

Something rather unusual happened in the fourth goal, or Carlos Tevez's second goal in this match. After he kicked the ball hardly toward the goal, the ball hit a Middlesbrough defender's arm, then went straight to the ground, causing the goal keeper to drop himself to the ground. But he was making a late response, the ball bounced under the left part of his body and swirled upward approximately four meter. The goal keeper straighten himself up and in a split second he was dazed, turning his head left and right as if asking: "Where is the ball?.......where is the ball?"  Until when later on he realized the ball was on the air, it was too late, because it has entered the goal. It was like in the movie.
