The Celebration...

...Begins.

It is sad when we have to good-bye to someone or something dear to us. Unfortunately that what mad redo1 has to do when his 'pekebende' was deemed as an attack site due to some malware attaching themselves to it. They were back-ups to the pages but somehow when it was not meant to be then there was nothing you can do.

We just finished the blessed month of Ramadhan and Aidil-Fitri is upon us now.

These are the days of celebration with the children are the most likely to benefit with a pocketful of 'duit raya' by the end of the third day. For adults who are still children at heart, putting on the newly bought 'raya' clothes in the morning of 'Aidil-Fitri' certainly make the heart flutter a bit.

The joy for mad redo1 certainly began early when Arsenal won their encounter against Wigan Athletic 4-0 at the Emirates. Thomas Vermaelen is certainly winning the hearts of many Gooners with his brace. The first when he beat Chris Kirkland with a thumpinng header from a corner, which in a way was quite expected from a defender.

But his second was pure class when he played a one-two with Manu Eboue before side-footing the ball into the top corner with Kirkland completely beaten. It was a good day too for Eboue who had a nightmare in the corresponding fixture last season. His error strewn performance after coming on as a substitute saw himself being substituted towards the end of the match. 

This time around, the Ivorian player got his name on the scoresheet when his touch took the ball away from Kirkland and into the back of the net after Eduardo's second attempt came his way. The Croazilian first attempt was pushed by Kirkland to the post.

There was some concern when Cesc Fabregas limped heavily towards the end of the match but that did not stop him from scoring the fourth when Nicklas Bendtner served the ball on the plate for his skipper to beat Kirkland at the near post. Robin van Persie's persistence played a hugh part in the goal.

Winning gives you the feel good feeling and together with Aidil-Fitri celebration mad redo1 is certainly hoping it is going to be an auspicious start to his new pages.

It is good to be back.
