The Magical Messi.

Messi with his Ballon d'Or award.

Have you seen Messi face to face ?

''  Argentina's Lionel Messi receives the FIFA Ballon d'Or award on January 10, 2011 at the Kongresshaus during the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich. The three finalists for the 2011 Ballon d'Or are Spain's Xavi Hernandez, Spain's Andres Iniesta and Argentina's Lionel Messi who all play for Barcelona  ''

Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi who is born 24 June 1987 is an Argentine footballer who currently plays for FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team as a forward or winger. He also holds Spanish citizenship, which makes him eligible as a EU player. Considered one of the best football players of his generation and frequently cited as the world's best contemporary player, Messi received several Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations by the age of 21 and won both by the age of 22. He also won the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or at the age of 23. His playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi his "successor".

Messi began playing football at a young age and his potential was quickly identified by Barcelona. He left Rosario-based Newell's Old Boys's youth team in 2000 and moved with his family to Europe, as Barcelona offered treatment for his growth hormone deficiency. Making his debut in the 2004–05 season, he broke his team record for the youngest footballer to score a league goal. Major honours soon followed as Barcelona won La Liga in Messi's debut season, and won a double of the league and Champions League in 2006. His breakthrough season was in the 2006–07 season; he became a first team regular, scoring a hat-trick in El Clásico and finishing with 14 goals in 26 league games. Perhaps his most successful season was the 2008–09 season, in which Messi scored 38 goals to play an integral part in a treble-winning campaign. In the following 2009–10 campaign, Messi scored 47 goals in all competitions, equalling Ronaldo's record total for Barcelona.

Messi was the top scorer of the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship with six goals, including two in the final game. Shortly thereafter, he became an established member of Argentina's senior international team. In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play in the FIFA World Cup and he won a runners-up medal at the Copa América tournament the following year. In 2008, in Beijing, he won his first international honour, an Olympic gold medal, with the Argentina Olympic football team.

My new life in UTP .

UTP

Have you ever heard about UTP ?

'' This UTP has produced many graduated students every year with the well-rounded personality and pursue by many private companies '' .

 UTP means University Technology Petronas which was established on January 10, 1997 when PETRONAS was invited by the Malaysian government to set up a university.

 For your information, I had received the offer letter by this best university in Malaysia. First time I arrived here, I feel clumsy as I did not know a lot of people here. They can speak english very good and looking smart always.
 Currently, I am studying foundation for 3 semester in 1 year. Then, I will further my study in bachelor of petroleum engineering. UTP is the best place for me to continue my study as this is best chance for me to improve my soft skills and compete with the other intellectual students.

My first impression for this university is it looks sophisticated.This university provides me many good facilities, futuristic building and nice environment. One of the building is Chancellor Complex. This building is very advanced building.It can attract someone dream thoroughly to study here.

Other than that, it is hard for me to adapt myself  in UTP. This is because it is my first time for me to study in university not school life. It really makes me shocked. But I know that maybe one day I will be a best student among the others here.
