The One With The CSI:JB 

Heh.. During Noritta vs Haniff trial, we did a lot of comparison between Malaysian Forensic unit with our benchmark; obviously, Grissom n Co. Up untill now; nobody FOR SURE know who the murderer is.. (except the murderer himself lah..) Now, murder trial for a 10-year-old girl Nurul Huda Gani, who was raped and sodomised by some psychopathic no-hearted animals..The accused, Mohd Abbas Danus Baksan already pleaded guilty for doing so and was sentenced to jail for 20 years plus 24 cannings.. Now, it is for murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code which carries mandatory death sentence upon conviction..

Yet again, funny things happened.. Photographers who took pictures of the crime scene, claimed photographs he took using government owned camera turned out blank and could not be printed. HECK!! There were 3 rolls of them including post-mortem processes which couldn't be shown to the court as evidence.. he is damn lucky after he had couples of pictures taken by his own camera..

Oh my.. How much our government had spent on upgrading infrastructures and resources for PDRM? It could be a slight unfortunate mishap but could cause justice at stake.. a murderer could again at large due to so called technical mistakes..

I want to make some suggestions to Suruhanjaya Khas Penambahbaikan Perjalanan dan Pengurusan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) regarding Malaysian CSI ever since our bad experience with them.. anybody knows how to do so??

Reference : No photos of crime scene as camera was not working;

The One With An Open Letter to Maxis 

I am a subscriber of Maxis for years.. about 2 years back, I switched to M-Plan, whereby I have to pay RM99+3 per month, and i'll be given RM99 talktime which could carry forward up to 3 months..However, those carry forward now no longer valid.. and eversince I got married, I spend a lot lesser in phone calls..

Yesterday, I checked my phone bill.. I was charged RM102 for less than RM50 I used.. and talk time balance will just be forfeited..

So.. I think I better spend the balance, AFUNDIing....

Regards,
Me

The One With The Car Wash Incident 

Yesterday evening's quite clear blue sky inspired me to drive to a petrol station to get my car to be washed.. heh.. quite awhile since the last one.. :P.. If you do not know, in some petrol station's car wash, they have this price range for cars below 1000cc, 1000cc - 1799cc, 1800cc and above, and SUV/MPV/4WD.. differs of RM1 or 2 perhaps..

As usual, I would pay the cheapest price for my cute little car.. While waiting, I sat on the bench and watched a couple test driving a modified Satria with a used car salesman.. then, I overheard a conversation over the counter.. a man in his late 30s or maybe early 40s, complaining why he's being charged for (1800cc and above) range.. sounded like...

"Allo, my car aa.. although it is a 1.8cc car, but the actual cc is not 1800 you know, it is just 1796cc.. I shouldn't be charged this much.. you wanna look at my roadtax or not? 1796 only.. "

Although the man definately got a point.. he shouldnt be charged for 1800cc price.. could win easily in the court.. But, hey!! that's a common fact man.. 2.0 litre engine of Perdana V6 is actually 1999cc, 1.0 Kelisa is just 989cc and even 850 Kancil is actually 847cc.. they still dont call it 847EZ or 847EX.. everybody shd know that.. why bother?? furthermore.. is it just a matter of RM1 or at most RM2..

Couldnt bother less, I walked to my just-finish-washed-and-vacuumed car, took the key and about to get into my car, I heard the guy voicing his arguement again, that time with the car washers.. I looked back, there.. the man stood with his latest Mercedes-Benz 180 C Class KOMPRESSOR.. demanding his RM1...

With a smirking smile, I drove home..

The One With The Public Transport 

In my posting on Freeway, Modaq commented KL needs better public transportation system.. may be sumthing like London's tube.. The Star today reported a proposed masterplan called the Klang Valley Integrated Public Transport System and Land Use Development Plan has come to the final stages of study and will be ready to be submitted to cabinet for approval..

According to plan, it's gonna be a 500km rail-based transit network with 380 stations that would run from suburban areas into the city centre, compared to current network (commuter, LRT & monorail) which covers only 182km with 110 stations = 48% of KL area. The new system would also reorganise the bus system with creating regional and feeder buses. Plus, a common ticket would be introduced for all transit system..

The minus part.. the network should be fully developed by 2020.. Will we be using the same technology in 15 years time?

(Pardon me since I always imagine Fry in his Futurama tube.. :P)

The One With The Datukship 

Babah just told us last night over AJ's Birthday Party, our gynea was awarded with Datukship of Negri Sembilan in conjunction with Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Ja’afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman 82nd birthday at Istana Sri Menanti here last monday. No wonder we couldnt reach him at clinic and also via mobile. i checked back The Star Online to confirm..




Oh.. BTW, Babah will also receive his Datukship some time around December which carry a title Tok Bah and Mama will carry Tok Ma; shortly after our baby is born..

The One With The Great No 9 

Quoting from Newcastle United official website;



As I said, Newcastle United will always have their Great No. 9. And of course, with current Great No. 9 Alan Shearer hanging his boots at the end of this season, Sir Bobby desperate for a replacement. I was hoping for James Beattie, younger, already well-adapted with EPL style and a true admirer of Shearer himself. However £10m pricetag is too much for Big Boss Shepherd.

Although Kluivert signed for free, his £80k per-week wages with Barcelona would make him the highest paid player in SJP.. (unless he already considered a pay-cut).. Plus, last season with Barca, he spent most of his time sidelined due to injury.. and not play a single game in Euro 2004.. He better show he's still in his best to take on No. 9's jersey next season.

Kluivert will wear No 11 after being left vacant by the departure of Premiership all-time-most-appearance, midfielder Gary Speed.

The One With The ID Ten T Error 

Well being in computer industry, I normally asked many questions on computer problems and solutions.. to which most of them, you can consider silly.. However if you are in user support like me, please remember, in computer support system dictionary, there is no term of "Stupid Questions", but there is "Stupid Users"..

Quoting one from computer joke genre; you can find more, if you browse Userfriendly.org and Toilet.com :



Oh, I just received a newspapers cutting with title "Working with idiots can kill you!" as attached below;

The One Where There Are Just the Two of You 

I remembered one of my childhood stupid 'teka-teki' saying something like this :

Q: "Dalam dunia mana yang ada cuma 2 orang?"
A : "Dunia Jam 10"

(Which world only has 2 persons? - World News at 10)

Well, to think of it.. there's actually is.. one place.. just the two (sometimes 3) of you .. for almost 4 months (could be longer).. where is it? International Space Station (ISS).. (if you have no idea on ISS, please watch back 'Armageddon', (1998)).. although their first base module, Zarya (Sunrise; in Russian) was actually launched only in November 1998 and occupied 2 years later. It is interesting to find that the ISS is actually passes over most points on Earth every day but cannot always be seen. The best time to watch is just before dawn or just after sunset, when the observer is in the dark but the ISS is in the sun. You may check the station location, here.

The first occupants of the Station were Bill Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko, and Sergei Krikalev from November 1, 2000. Now, current occupants are Expedition 9 crew flight engineer Michael Fincke and commander Gennady Padalka. (April, 2004 - ??) Imagine ur life to wake up not knowing is it really morning or night.. Just the two of you.. manning the computers as your daily routine.. TV?? hell no.. the best thing for entertainment could be playing poker.. heh.. could be the best job for a Demophobic (Fear of crowds).. How about their $ex life?? well.. i dunno..

Could you??

Note : Cosmonaut Yuri Gidzenko now in Kuala Lumpur for the launching of the "Fortis 10 Years in Space" memorial timepiece edition.

Note 2 : Cosmonauts and Astronauts are actually the same, Russians call it cosmonauts (cosmo = space) while Americans call it astronauts (astro = stars).. You're going to space, not stars, right??

The One With The Freeway 

I was a regular user to KLites favourite highway, or better known as Federal Highway (FH) aka Lebuhraya Persekutuan. I used it for about more than 2 years, before I got married and moved out from my Rumah Bujang.. However, since a month back my sister has been squatting in our house.. so every other day, I'll be using FH as my route to work after sending her to class..

Well, back then.. there was no other REAL alternative route.. the best alternative only using the farther+dearer road = (kerinchi link + sprint + nkve = RM3.40) which I used if and only if in a case emergency ie fatal accident occur; picking up GF (:P) etc.. otherwise, it would be 15-35 minutes (depend on ur luck) drive from Kerinchi to Subang.. now, better alternative New Pantai Expressway, (NPE) has been built to ease the traffic esp in area of Bangsar, Jalan Klang Lama and Subang. Quoting Hafiz from his daily rants;

Proudly advertised over the Highway Electronic Board;

"Hargailah masa anda dengan NPE. Hanya 10 minit dari Subang ke Bangsar."
"Appreciate your time with NPE. Only 10 minutes to Bangsar from Subang."

Is it for real?? Only 10 minutes?? My average time of drive from Kerinchi to my office parking lot would take around 20 minutes ± 5 minutes (read: using normal lane, not emergency lane though).. For me it is tolerable due to its easiness to access (1 stop traffic light only) + of course it is free.. i'd rather stuck in a 20-minutes of movable traffic rather than stop at couple traffic lights, queue up to pay RM1.60.. drive into so-called-hassle-free-road for 10 minutes, queue up again to pay RM1.60.. exit from the highway before queue up again at round-about, stop at couple other traffic lights.. before I can park my car at office.. PHEWWWW.. so much for my RM3.20.. call me stingy, whatever.. it is simply not worth my money..

"Hail Federal Highway.."

The One With The Knights of the Round Table 

My first epic movie VCD was First Knight, (1995) starring Sean Connery, Richard Gere.. also love at the first sight to Julia Ormond as Lady Guinevere of France.. It was a classic epic of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere and Sir Lancelot love triangle. (except for no wise-wizard Merlin).. In many years, story of Arthur, his Excalibur and the Knights of the Round Table was told in many version but always with similar ending.. However traditional legends turned into a new different twist in King Arthur, (2004) starring Clive Owen, Keira Knightley and Ioan Gruffudd.

For centuries, countless tales have been told of the legend of King Arthur. But the only story you've never heard ... is the true story that inspired the legend. - Trailer for King Arthur

Artorius or better known as Arthur was the leader of Rome in their Brittish teritory. Accompanied with his 15-years of serving Samartian Knights, to which only 6 survived.. in order to get their freedom, these Knights had to serve Romans to defend their homeland against the invading Saxons and local barbaric Woads led by black wizard Merlin..

If you're looking forward for a battle-full-Braveheart/Partriot-alike of epic , I dont think King Arthur is the one since only three scenes of battles were included in the movie.. I barely felt my adneralin-rush.. not even a tiny bit as when Brad Pitt did in Troy.. Infact to my surprise, not even a single head seen cut from the neck.. heh..

Guinevere is not a sweet pretty princess from France but a hot-tough-lady-warrior of Woads, local barbarians that wanted to claim their land back from the Romans..

For me, the storyline is unique but messy.. actions were not describe in detail.. Antoine Fuqua was damn superb in Training Day, but in King Arthur, he is a bit flop.. so much for the most awaited epic movie of the year..

Rating : ehmm shd I do this?? What the heck! (hehe.. ayul plz dont let this affecting u) 6.3 out 10..

p/s: Next one, Puteri Gunung Ledang.

The One With Good vs Bad 

A colleague of mine forwarded a link to a website full with jokes... heh.. quoted one of thousands..

The One With The Domestic Roaming 

From Screenshots, I was told that government will take action if any of major telcos company refuse to compromise on sharing resource, bla bla bla.. (Read for yourself, here).. To understand the concept further, I backtracked to its source in TheEdgeDaily.

"Domestic roaming will automatically divert subscribers to another mobile phone operator, which has coverage, if their current network is unable to provide coverage. "

Hmmm.. The scenario would be the same when Celcom-TMTouch merged.. When Celcom users entering a non-coverage area, they will automatically be diverted to TMTouch (provided area covered by TMTouch) and vice versa.. Calling rate would be a bit different back then.. My brother once worked somewhere in (Bangar, Brunei) area where in certain location, phone calls will be charged based on Brunei-KL rate and others will be based on Limbang-KL rate due to domestic roaming.. (It may not a very good example since both Celcom and TMTouch already became one Company). So, next will be roaming between three major telco providers..

Basically, the idea is good.. the is no reason to waste on building to many towers, fixing and wiring cables underneath (resulting a spaghetti/'mee maggi' condition hehe.. )..

Ermm another thing to ponder.. if they all about to share, so.. less work to be done by smaller telco provider aka DiGi in order to upgrade their coverage, right?? hmmm.. so, Paranie & Sheila resigned for a reason then.. time to think about it Mr Tony.. heheh..

The One With The Chimerism 

Last night's episode is the finalé for 4th season of Jerry Bruckheimer's greatest (for us) TV series.. One victim, one prime suspect, several minor suspects, all CSI members involved, one CSI leader solved.. The twists and turns were marvellous.. Victim was raped but escape death.. She managed to ID her attacker.. however DNA results denied the involvement for the prime suspect.. CSI then turned to prime suspect's close relative.. In the end, it was actually the case of Chimerism. Chimera/Chimaera, in Greek mythology had a head of a lion, body of a goat and tail of a dragon..

"This has occurred in humans, though it is considered extremely rare, but since it can only be detected through DNA testing, which in itself is rare, it may be more common than currently believed. As of 2003, there were about 30 human cases in the literature, according to New Scientist"

Read : Chimerism is not that rare in other animals according to Colorado State University's Biomedical Hypertextbook.
Read : In humans, though it is considered extremely rare, it may be more common than believed..

Heh.. no wonder.. during the Noritta's case, we were puzzled why DNA samples from Haniff had to be taken not only from his swabs, blood samples, semens, also 'bulu' this and 'bulu' that when Grissom & co. normally take DNA sample just from a swab. Even in one of the court session, one of the lab expert was asked, "How long??"

I guessed CSI:KL already figured the possibility of a Chimerism before taking the samples from Haniff.. hehe.. (Read : Yeah rite!!).. either too clever or too ermmm.. I dont wanna say..

ps: After sent a plant in last week episode, Grissom (had to?? dont think so..) held Sara's hand to comfort her.. can't wait for season 5..

The One With The Big Wins 

Utusan Malaysia, today :



As expected, Mom won by a big majority over Naib Ketua holder Saedah, but it was a narrrow escape to Haliza, 37 ex-Johor Puteri leader to beat the-wrong-GE-form-filler by just 21 votes.. tough competition.. esp when Mom had to go here and there, days and nights.. it was a great revenge to her political enemy after all Samshiah did to her.. Mom had to deal with many things in her almost 20-years of roller coaster rides in politics.. esp these 2 years back.. slanderings, poison letters, prank calls.. the list goes on and on..

However despite the big wins.. first thing she did while giving the results to us was crying.. i guess she still missing late Dad.. as all of us still do.. Congratulations to Mom and Haliza..

p/s: Not to be forgotten... Al-fatihah to Dad..

well it is up to you and ur phonebills.. :D .. but or me, he is just a homesick-out-of-cigarette-fella..

The One With The Greek Fairy Tale 

Once upon a time, there was a football team from Greece.. entering Euro tournament for the second time in their nation history.. They never win a single point from a major competition.. now they passed thru final round after top their group with Spain as runners-up.. they went into Euro 2004 with 80/1 odds... only small countries Switzeland n Latvia went after them (if i'm not mistaken)..

However, despite the underdog label.. they produced a heartbreak to the host nation during the opening match of Euro 2004.. won 2-1.. then held back Spain 1-1, before lost 2-1 to Russia.. they proceeded as a group A runner-up with a goal difference..

They had to face Cup holder France in the KO stage.. but then again with tight defensive and a good finishing, they won 1-0.. some said it was a miracle.. some said it just a one of.. heck.. they again defeated mighty Czechs 1-0 in semi-final..

Last night was the Final of Euro 2004.. Host nation Portugal once again met Greece, the only team that beat them in this competition. Portugal led by Brazillian Scolari wanted to repeat the history.. The last host nation went into final was France, in 1984 where they also emerged as champion. In 1988, Holland lost their first match against Soviet but they met again in the final and Holland won 2-0.. As for Greece led by German Rehhagel, Danes fairy tale when they came into tournament with a last-minutes call up replacing Yugoslavia and went all the way becoming Euro 1992 Champs need to be repeated..

Portugal fielded their best starting 11, with a-lone-striker-who-doesnt-score-any-goal Pauleta still playing.. Rui Costa could play in his last international jersey before call it a day.. Figo again wore the captain armband, leading Portugese army in the Final again after their 1991 Youth Cup champion..

Greece played without their inspiration captain Karagounis due to suspension replaced by Giannakopoulos.. Zagorakis as the Greek captain..

First half.. it was a tight game.. both teams tried not to conceed an early goal.. only couple of chances made.. the best when Portugese full-back Miguel sent a low drive forcing keeper Nikopolidis to dive for a block.. Miguel then had to be replaced by the ball-gave-away defender Paolo Ferreira due to injury.. Second half was more interesting with both teams exchanging attacks.. Greece were tough at the back.. they won a corner kick from the right side.. Basinas took the corner met by the head of French destroyer Charistaes, powefully sent in past Ricardo.. The host trembled.. A quick long ball into Greece box, Ronaldo escaped the offside trap, but he put it wide.. it was a one way traffic since then.. Once a while, Greece sent a counter.. Scolari brought in Rui Costa and Nuno Gomes in their attack.. Figo, Pauleta even defender Carvalho tried their luck but it was either wide or saved by Nikopolidis.. (the only one ended into the back of Greece's net was a fan.. )

With about five minutes to full time, a fan with Barcelona flag crushed in.. threw the flag to Figo and ran into Greece back of the net.. security officers had to pull him away.. that resulted to a 5-minutes added in the injury time.. still it wasnt enough to prevent Portugal to become the first host nation lost in a Euro Cup final.. Greece won the thropy, their captain Zagorakis grabbed the Man of the Match title..

1-0 they won against the Portugese.. many shock unbelieved.. many said it will never happen again.. but to them.. they have done it.. it is a fairy tale turns to reality.. it ends happily ever after

Final result:

Portugal 0
Greece 1 - (Charistaes 57')
(MoM : Zagorakis)

The One With ALONG Came Little Sue 

Heheh.. after two weeks of waiting.. at last.. it finally aired.. and we managed to capture it using my Canon Powershot A80.. had a good laugh at it.. heheh..

Guys n gals, catch Along Bijak on TV2 every Saturday 10.30am.. esp our Little Sue.. heheh..

The One With The Semi (part 2) 

It was a hot night.. electricity was just being restored.. Astro still down, may be due the power-lost.. I had to watch the game via normal VHF-only-not-so-clear-although-on-32th-floor centralized antenna.. (luckily on TV3)

"Begitulah, dalam pertandingan-pertandingan besar sebegini pastinya ada kejutan-kejutan yang akan dilakukan oleh sesetengah pasukan. Pada malam ini kita telah saksikan bagaimana pasukan yang dianggap underdog berjaya melakukannya.." - mimicking ABA

Heh.. That's not what he really said..

Czech Republic walked into the pitch as the Favourite while Greece, never won a single match in major tournament before Euro 2004 clearly was the Underdog, although they already defeated France and Portugal on their way to the Semi. Fairly, it was a well-balanced game. though in first few minutes of first half, it was all Czechs'.. they almost went ahead when Rosický's powerful strike just hit the crossbar.. Jankulovski had 2 shots on goal but keeper Nikopolidis managed to keep those out.. Czechs were unfortunate when their playmaker cum skipper had to be replaced by Smicer due to injury, before half-time.. Greece also got few opportunity through Vryzas and Karagounis..

Biggest upset for the Favourite when world best referee Pierluigi Collina,whom officiating his international match for the last time before retiring, failed to respond on Czechs' penalty shout when Koller appeared to be pulled down by a Greek defender. A cheecky 1-2 combination between Koller and Rosický should have end the game in full time. Only the former fired it wide. Tournament top scorer Baroš' solo effort to beat 3 defenders also ended the same. The stalemate forced the game into Silver goal extra-time.

Czechs looked all weary and their opponent took the advantage to hold most of ball possession in the first half of extra time. Greece nearly went ahead (2 times actually) through sub Giannakopoulos, but Cech blocked it well. Late on the 105th minutes, Greece won a corner, swung to the near post by substitute Tsartas, Dellas headed it in. Time was just enough for Czechs' kick-off. Greece won on a Silver Goal. They gonna meet host nation Portugal on Sunday.


Czech Republic 0
Greece 1 - Dellas (105+1')
Greece won via Silver Goal
(MoM :Dellas)

The One Where All Elevators Broke Loose 

Heh..What say you if you went back home tired.. sleepy from last nite stay-up.. ookiing forward to have a cat-nap.. upon arriving at your building.. all access to your unit (aka elevators) broke down.. i bet u must say.. "demmm it.. wtf.. **** ***.., buggers.. etc etc etc" That was what happened to me yesterday.. darn.. apparently some pipes burst on third floor flooded the elevators.. (sounds familiar don't you?? clue : Dark Water??) heh.. I was not gonna walk up 8 floor up and go down again for food.. so, waited for my Mrs and we went back to her parents' for dinner..

We went back around 9.30 pm and still no good news.. I didnt really think of myself.. but plz.. my wife is pregnant.. Why cant they fix it faster.. we are living in a so-called-condo.. but the management & services are Too Damn SuckSSSSS!! yup.. capital T, capital D, capital S, and lot of @$$e$$.. luckily they managed to restored electricity by 10.30pm.. we still able to watch football.. and looking on the bright sight.. things can become worse.. we dont live on the 31st floor, right.. :)

The One With New York's Crime Lab 

Oh.. While browsing on CBS Show.. I got a hit into a new series scheduled to be on air this fall.. (but of course it gonna months on AXN).. It is gonna be another forensics investigators, now in New York.. CSI : NY, they called it.

About The Show

CSI: NY stars Academy Award-nominee, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Gary Sinise and Emmy Award-nominee Melina Kanakaredes in a crime drama about forensic investigators who use high-tech science to follow the evidence and solve crimes in The Big Apple. Det. Mack "Mac" Taylor (Sinise) is a dedicated and driven crime scene investigator who believes that everything is connected and for everyone there is a story. He and his partner, Det. Stella Bonasera (Kanakaredes), a workaholic and a jack-of-all-trades, share a passion for the job....

Well.. After the big-hit of C.S.I.:Crime Scene Investigation, they already produced another CSI team.. CSI:Miami.. I watched it and tried to like it.. but.. well i dont like changes.. CSI : Vegas still the best.. All CSI:Vegas (on-field) members (except for Lab Tech, Greg) are already in CSI level 3.. whereas Miami team, one of them still in level 2 and another in level 1.. David Caruso as Lieutenant Caine is far from beyond compared to William Petersen's character as entomologist Gill Grissom.. there's something about the latter's charismatic i guess.. i dunno.. and somehow i dont like Calleigh Duquesne.. who talks like one typical blonde if you know what i mean..

Lets wait on the impact of this CSI:NY.. whether or not they can catch our eyes and glue our **** on the couch.. we'll see..

p/s: hope this wont inspire Dato' Yusoff Haslam to produce UFKL (Unit Forensik KL) :)

The One With The Semi (part 1) 

Whoaaa.. *(still sleepy).. OLÉ!! Host Nation Portugal set their place in the Euro 2004 Final with 2-1 win against previous tournament semi-finalist Netherlands. The last host nation to qualify for final was France led by Platini in 1984. (They also emerged the Champion)

The game was interesting, both teams exchange attacks but Portugal got the first goal. On 26th minute, Pauleta won a corner, Deco delivered it well into the middle, unmarked Ronaldo headed the ball in. He later was booked for taking-off-shirt-goal-celebration. Netherlands quickly recovered. They pressed from the left, Davids was deflected and arrived to Overmars to freely volley it.. only over the bar.. (quoting the commentator : Overmars over bar!!) Unlucky.. after that, Overmars passed a through-ball, and Nistelrooy put it in.. but flag was up for offside.. Figo's outstanding solo effort then just hit the far post.. after first half whistle gone, still 1-0 to Portugal..

Advocaat desperate for equalizer, switched Overmars for Makaay, and Bouma for van der Vaart.. But it was Portugal who got another goal. Again from a corner-kick, quickly taken by Ronaldo, passed it to Maniche and the midfield fired an astonishing strike from left edge of the box, ended into the far corner of van der Saar's goal. 2-0.

Five minutes after the 2nd goal, Netherlands got their lifeline. Robben combined with van Bronckhorst and the latter's cross to van Nistelrooy got diverted by defender Andrade into his own net. Late in second half Netherlands got a freekick on the edge of the box. Sub van Hooijdonk just managed to hit the wall..

Portugal will meet the winner of Greece-Czech Republic game tonight. Final will be played early Monday morning Malaysia time.. Final result:

Portugal 2 : Ronaldo (26'), Maniche (58')
Netherlands 1 : Andrade (63' og.)
(MoM : Figo)
