I’m not a football/soccer fan, and so does hubby. We are more interested in rocawear website, analyzing the design, function and whats not. Told you, we’re the creative geek couple. 
So when there was this football match among Southeast Asian countries – AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 – we didn’t really care about it and just follow the score update from our Twitter timeline. Gosh, there goes the era of reading offline newspaper.
Our ignorance ended when our home-country, Malaysia (hubby’s) and Indonesia (mine), went into final. Twitter-land started to heat up when they have the final 1st leg on last Sunday Dec 26th at KL, Malaysia. Suddenly I was affected with the football fever and purposely followed the match from Twitter timeline. Too bad Indonesia lost 0 – 3.
There was an audience(s) pointing green laser to players in the middle of the match, immediately numerous of people tweeted about #Malaysiacheatlaser and it became trending topic. *surprise me* Proofing how large Twitter users from Indonesia is and we can unite if we really want to.
Well, tonight was the final 2nd leg at Jakarta, Indonesia. Hubby and I followed the first half of the game from Twitter timeline and went out to coffee shop to watch the second half. The place was crowded, everyone facing the projector screen and TV, yelling all time, waving their Malaysia’s flag, boo-ing when the TV directed to Indonesia’s players/trainers, so shiok!
Despite the large number of supporters from stadium & Twitter-land, dearest Indonesia team didn’t came out as the champion. We did win the game 2 – 1. But added the score on the 1st leg, we are at 2 – 4. *sad*
Today’s trending topic was: #GarudaFightsBack, Congratulation Malaysia, #thankyouriedl, #loveindonesia, and so on. I’m amazed with how we use social media. Well, somehow football unites us (fellow Indonesians) and hubby & I. It’s our first time watching football match together btw, yeap we didn’t even watch World Cup.
Another not-less amaze news, Malaysia PM declares this Friday as public holiday not long after the winning. Like this also can. -___-”

February 17, 2011 at 2:44 pmHello, iya kmrn nontonnya pas final yg di Jkt.
Ttg Dimenzion theme, klo thumbnail nga muncul, ada 2 kemungkinan:
1) image-nya harus hosting di domain name yg sama dgn website, bukan tpt laen spt flickr, photobucket, etc
2) /cache folder di theme harus diset permissionnya ke 777, biar TimThumb bisa write thumbnail ke folder tsb
