Two games today…
The score of first game was 26 – 6 to Scotland who “outclassed” Italy.
And second game Ireland punished England for their great lack of discipline with a score of 14 – 13 at the end of the kick off match rather than a game of rugby.
All in all, another two great games of the RBS 6 Nations!

2009 RBS 6 Nations Results
After a two-week recess, RBS 6 Nations is back with vigour…
Yesterday, the game was between France and last year’s champions Wales, a highly anticipated game indeed. It was in inspiring Stade de France, and was the first Friday game in the RBS 6 Nations history.
Such a wicked game it was and oh how brilliantly “The Caveman” from France kicked arse!
The final score was France 21 – 16 Wales. What a fab riot…

Marketing Agency Showcase
On Thursday night (19 February), I went to an advertising talk that’s part of an exhibition that celebrates the work of marketing agency KesselsKramer, which was held at UCA Farnham where I’m starting in September.
The exhibition is really wicked, and was so inspiring… And the talk, the first in a series of three, was so bloody interesting and funny – the speakers talking about their fantastic work, everything from a sex club to corporate America to silly amateur footballers in Europe! How brilliant it was, indeed! And I hope I'm able to attend the other two talks as well…

NCVO Day
On Wednesday (18 February), I attended the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) Annual Conference all day in London.
Luckily, my friend James (who does work experience at the same place as me) came with me too, and we represented our organisation - Trailblazers / the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. After the keynote address by Vince Cable MP (a famous politician from the Liberal Democrats party), James and we decided to the day into spilt 2 workshops each since that I way we could attend a total of 4 workshops during the day, so we’d make the most of the conference.
The 2 workshops I attended were: “AM6: What is the future of campaigning in civil society?” in the morning, and “PM5: Exploring international collaboration” in the afternoon. Both these workshops were really good and highly informative, lots of ideas I can implement with my work experience and with my own organisation I plan to hopefully start one day!
Overall, it was a very unique and interesting experience that I’ll long remember…

2009 RBS 6 Nations Results
Today’s score: Italy 9 – 38 Ireland…
This was such a rigourous game to watch, as both sides had to make at least six substitutes each because severe injures due to blood that profusely flowed! And now RBS 6 Nations is taking two-week recess, and will be back on Friday, 27 February 2009…

Saturday Family Night
For Saturday Family Night last night, we watched “City of Ember” directed Gil Kenan, and stars Bill Murray, Saoirse Ronan, Harry Treadaway, and Mackenzie Crook.
The visuals in the film were somewhat quite interesting, but sadly it was just did not have a good flow or plot at all, and I think the book would be a much better to read instead. *** THREE STARS ***

Saturday Family Night
Last night, for Saturday Family Night we watched “Steam Boy” directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, which stars Anna Paquin, Kari Wahlgren, Patrick Stewart, Alfred Molina, and Oliver Cotton.
It sounds like a cheesy ‘80s porn film, but it is actually Japanese animated film of my younger brother’s choice too that Sarah rented from Blockbuster last week. despite this film being in production for ten years, utilising more than 180,000 drawings and 440 CG cuts, I really didn’t like film at all (even though it has a few good visuals). Not like the brilliant “Sky Blue” we watched last Saturday, I just couldn’t wait for this film to be over. *** TWO 1/2 STARS ***

2009 RBS 6 Nations Results
The opening game between England and Italy was, as I said earlier, definitely a cracker! England thrashed Italy 36 – 11 … Hurrah!
The next game yesterday, was between Ireland and France, and it was such a brilliant game… Sadly, ]-: the score ended up 30 -21 w/ Ireland winning. Thankfully, one of my favourite rugby players, Sébastien Chabal (known as “the Caveman” by fans), was playing for France [-; after a long departure from international rugby since France's loss to England in the semi-final of the 2007 Rugby World Cup, which Chabal was visibly distraught from, as they failed to make it to the Final. I love the way he plays, he such a powerful and aggressive player that kicks arse, quite literally!
With another game tomorrow, this year’s RBS 6 Nations is fast becoming one for the memory books. Oh, how fab it is to live in Europe!

Rugby is Back!
Today is the first day of the Six Nations Championship (referred to as RBS 6 Nations for sponsorship reasons). Hurrah!
It is “an annual international rugby union competition involving six European sides: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. The winner of the 6 Nations is sometimes seen as being the European Champions.” – "Scotland: European champions". BBC News. 2000-01-31.
The first game today is between England and Italy, and it’s going to be a cracker… Like football, I absolutely love rugby, and I think this year is going to be the best 6 Nations yet! Let’s knock some teeth out, England!!!

Photos, Photos Everywhere!
I know I’ve been promising to share photos w/ you for ages now and haven’t done so yet, but the thing is Sarah’s always has the camera practically all time. So, every time I need it I have to really have to insist to use it; it is okay though. And I think I’m definite going get myself my own camera soon, especially now that I’m going to start uni in September…
Anyway, I have lots of new photos from lots of fab things I’ve been doing lately, and are as follows:
A) Foals Gig – 16 October 2008

Night at The IMAX
Last night, I went to see the “The Dark Knight” at the BFI IMAX w/ Sarah and my two carers. I really enjoyed watching it again, but it was so bloody cold outside! *** FIVE STARS *** And Heath Leader definitely deserves an Oscar his performance as the Joker in the film…

Sufian’s Birthday
Yesterday, for Saturday Family Night we celebrated Sufian’s birthday, my little bother who is 13. Man, we has all the time gone! As Dad was home for the holidays (since from September he’s been working out in Dubai), we celebrated his birthday on 31 December w/ him, and decided that on Sufian’s official birthday (yesterday) we’d just do something simple.
Anyway, yesterday Mum made her legendary homemade lasagna (as per Sufian’s requested), which somehow she managed to make even tasty than she normally does. It was so heavenly amazing! Need I say any more? After we ate the utterly delicious meal, we watched “Wonderful Days” (that Sarah rented from Blockbuster, which again was of Sufian's choice) – known as “Sky Blue” in Western countries such as the U.S. and Great Britain – a South Korean animated science fiction film written and directed by Kim Moon-saeng. It stars Marc Worden and Cathy Cavadini. I really enjoyed this film so much… The film's animation is amazing (truly guys it’s fab), the music is captivatingly genius, and the plot is very inspiring! Some people have complained that plot is quite “weak,” but have to greatly disagree b/c I found it much easier to follow than some other Anime films (and the plot is no weaker than “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within”), and the Japanese Anime film industry has been around much longer than the Korean. So, comparatively it’s a reasonably excellent film that everyone should definitely watch. *** FOUR 1/2 STARS ***
Well, overall it was just a nice, quiet family time together, and we all had a brilliant time in each other’s company…
