Victory

Curva Nord


Tribune Ouest--Lions Supporters

There's only ONE KALLANG ROAR.I think I might as well just forget the $10 I bet and get down to planning for the next match against Thailand on wednesday.yesterday night was a real night to remember,especially for the new generation of Singapore fans.And I might also forget the fact that our goalie spilled one,because the Malaysians were back to their same old score and then freeze.and I think they regretted subbing in someone so late until that guy ended up missing that penalty that sent us through...hahahaha.I was seating at the grandstand near the VIPs and the roar was palpable.Since I missed the Indonesia match 3 years ago,I really can't miss this one


Curva Sud Fossa dei Leoni

Lots of people got turned away because the tickets had already been sold out by 3pm and there were so few Malaysians they soon found their red carpet cordon encroached by Singaporeans left,right and centre(above).at least it had some semblance of Italy with funny banners like Ultras and Forza at the curva nord and sud respectively...mann that's one hell of a match,although they were dillydallying which is a big no-no against Thailand unless you're sure they won't cock up if Aide was watching.it's one freaking hell of a match i think.the only people who seem hard to win over are the teenage girls whose allegiances are more towards SHE who's having their concert nearby at the Indoor Stadium.

I hope to hear the Kallang Roar again,as loud as the time where Ridhuan scored the equaliser and surely more than the delirium after the unfortunate Malaysian got his effort blocked by Lion Lewis.Forza Leoni!


Kallang Roar-One Last Roar against Thailand

Cross Country? what cross country!?

What is cross country when it goes to Bishan Park?don't even bother calling it that.same with the shortlived turf club experiment for the nationals.just as Bishan park seems like Aintree,the old turf club is the Ascot.Only Macritchie sounds really cross country.anything else and it seems like a rerun of the Melbourne Cup.

oh well they finally bothered with some 0812 plans where some of our heroes will go full time.while sailors pose little problems,some people still can't shake off the Melvyn Tan saga when they hear that some of the sailors going for NS are getting temporary deferments.to them it seems like going BMT is more important than anything,and I think I might agree on just one count...that they will eventually come back

the only prob is that our new cult hero is out of the list.the 10m air rifler has more cares to attend to,having been the single most well known person in AJ to grace the school in more than....years with a 925 Asiad medal to show,she's ineligible for full time training for olympics as a really stressful 9-2-5 job awaits(read:theorems and targets,ammo and ammonia,and whatever that suits your fancy)

it's time for the Kallang Roar,tomorrow that is.I'd like a full house although I might be a bit concerned if my VIP pass still can work if the VIP seats aren't full house.I just don't wanna miss a thing,not when it's the last time(I think) that I'd be going to a national stadium and enjoy VIP treatment.one thing though,I don't know if I'm going for any support or not given I'm quite busy nowadays

alright it's getting boring nowadays,so I think i'll stop here..

Osaka and Otaru

Finally my family's going to Sapporo,where it's very cold and very romantic...but there's a catch...

this is what you dream about...a souped up B777 of your dreams



Unfortunately i only enjoy this if i was doing either of these
1)me and steady go to Paris for a romantic getaway
2)my (extended) family goes to HK disneyland
3)you and your chums go to Milan or Barcelona in style,WAGs shopping and guys booing those Interisti or Milanisti on 11/03...or maybe your chums want to watch a Champs League match anytime(don't sing YNWA to them)

Never mind...the normal one's still nice.here's how it looks



apparently I can't be bothered with seatguru so I'd just sneak out and smoke away at the window seat if i've got one for the 0115 flight...hahahaha can don't need to sleep liaoz.things to do on the plane:

1)1st 2h watch flag of our fathers.I missed that so I'll watch it on the plane.i just don't believe the gridiron gang won't be on for feb but apparently the cinemas are still showing the movie...wow
2)next 1h.nintendo...whoosh super mario!
3)next 2h.learn French on the plane...hahahaha,maybe order alcohol...although i think it's a no-no
4)last 1h.fatigued,so maybe listen to more music.they have BSB and Ricky Martin,while eating breakfast that's pretty much costs $9-$12 on the ground
5)sleep on the domestic flight.

oh yes 3 weeks left so I don't know if i miss my frens or not,so here's something to ponder about what to order when on the plane

Taken from some airliner review site:
Wine, beer, spirits and cocktails, are all free. All wine is poured for you from large bottles kept on the trolley. All beer is opened before you get it, and all cocktails are mixed in the galley and brought to you complete at your seat. Cabin crew on SQ are quite insistant on this rule, and will not serve closed cans.

But yes, I did say cocktails - even economy gets a small list to choose from. In business you'll get a separate wine and cocktail list, and you can have endless delights with the selection, and you'll find many many ex-pats on the flights regularly sampling them. The drink trolley however just has one red & white, plus champers, so any special orders (like, a selection) have to come from the galley.
Raffles drinks service in Business

In economy the drinks and cocktails list is in the menu you get at the start of the flight. The drinks trolley is always loaded up with just one bottle of white and red - however the menu will always list one red and two whites, but will list them as by locality, not type. This unusual ommission can be rectified by asking the crew, however if you do this, and ask for the "wine that isn't on the trolley" then you'll probably have a long wait for a glass of the stuff.

The airline spends about £15 per passenger for food and beverages in economy, £30 in business class and £40 in first class. This is at least 10% higher than industry averages, to make passengers feel happier - its worth asking the cabin crew which wine they recomend, as most are trained to spot a good one.

Drink trolleys freely circulate even the economy cabin during the first few hours of the flight, but if you aren't in the isle seats, getting the trolley to stop can be a different matter. However Singapore is one of the few airlines where the cabin crew don't mind if you press the crew call button.
Hardy's Chardonnay


Economy drinks on Singapore Airlines
There is normally a choice of two white wines, and one red. The white wines are commonly listed by country, not by type (eg: German white, or French white). It pays to ask the crew what the selection and the grape variety is, and insist that they open a bottle of what you want, not the generic stuff that is on the trolley.
French Red

White - Hardy's Colombard Chardonnay
Little can be said about this. Its pleasant, easily quaffable, and makes the 35,000 feet wizz by. 12.5%.

Red - French Chateaux Nurf
Dry, almost bitter, with little in the way of initial taste. The after-taste will make your eyes water. 10.5%.

Economy Cocktails
Gin Fizz
Really just a gin and tonic, but with added lemon juice, this is a good refreshing one to start the journey with.

Screwdriver
A bad choice - the crew make it very strong and you'll soon loose consciousness.
Bloody Mary Mix as it comes in the can


Bloody Mary
"Singapore Airline's Bloody Mary mix has been famous since the 70s. Its one all the regulars ask for."
Kirtley - A Singapore Veteran

The Bloody Mary mix comes in a small tin, and the vodka is added by the crew. I love this. It's one of my favourites on the plane.

Manhattan
Just a normal Manhattan, but in a plastic glass with a swizzle stick.

Singapore Sling
Gin, benedictine, cointreau, brandy, grenadine, lime and pineapple... it is just like the Business Class version, except it comes... in a bottle! This is now loaded as standed on the economy trolley.

Barest Minimum

Finally a Singapore-malaysia causeway derby is on the card for the ASEAN semis.but we qualified in one of the least fashionable ways possible even though we got a crazy advantage...as always the thick of the action is right after the 10 minutes has passed.I just settled into the VIP seat before they were cheering away because Noh Alam Shah scored from the spot.Ridiculously Singapore then slacked off,got pegged back twice,held firm even with mad offside decisions and the controversial 12th Indonesian that the kayu ref forgot.In the end few felt sorry for the Indos as they were kicked out after Vietnam did their stuff

But I think the VIP box really rocks,although it seemed very 90s

that's why I was thinking...are we complacent enough to end up being pegged back when we're having advantage?that's what Raddy have to answer before the Malaysians get their bragging rights,and trust me,going to Thailand or Vietnam away is not a joke

7-11

Singapore 11 Laos 0 and Noh Alam Shah 7.whammers.I was watching most of the second half and they whacked 7 goals...mann...this sounds very impossible.what's next is Indonesia who has a lot of stuff on their head and I'm considering whether to use my VIP box option or leave it till the final...although I hope I can use it in the end

(side dish)
kids these days(especially in Singapore) are very very fortunate these days.have we lost our bite?are we only buffoons who only know how to take whatever that is doles out with little sense of gratitude?that I don't know.the dragon babies at least knew what lay ahead with so many people demanding the best,so they sensibly bucked up,but the new generation's got anything and everything pandered for their demands.most of them have been spectators to one of the best shows ever seen,but to really step out and do it was a tall order for them.right the best thing they could do is actually complain.last time out students might not like their teachers but the best they can do is put a brave face and complain behind closed doors...or i mean blogs.but now they not only complain but openly expect the respective department to see to their needs as you would customer service officers. same was the case where a secondary school boy dropped out just because his VP used some strong language to criticise his somewhat unbecoming ways as a student and his mum even lept into his defence. oh my,...

right now I'm struck down with incessant sneezing that is really irritating.coupled with sniffles and bout after bout of ahchoos,it can ruin someone's day

Rain Down

Bedroom farce wasn't exactly a great bore.not if seeing friends are concerned.It's quite ridden with a bit of technical problems here and there from the start,but nice work given the relatively little experience they had with the intricacies of pro theater.the story though was quite abstract at first and I thought there were 3 or 4 stories running parallel.as it turned out the old couple and the ones who quarreled were related,and the husbands are very much under manipulation by their wives,but it all turned out to be a story about love and stuff,all very abstract with a suspensive ending to top off...

omigosh after spending saturday slacking off,it's absolut delirious on sunday,topped off with a literally raining down of real rain...

Delirious-Rain Down

Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy
Feels like the winds are gonna change
Beneath my feet, the earth is ready
I know its time for heaven's rain
It's gonna rain

Cos it's living water we desire
To flood our hearts with holy fire

Rain down all around the world we're singing
Rain down can you here the earth is singing
Rain down my heart is dry but still I'm singing
Rain down rain it down on me.

Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time, to dream again
I see the clouds, and yes I'm ready
To dance upon this barren land
Hope in my hands

Chorus

Do not shut, Do not shut, Do not shut the heavens
But open up, open up, open up our hearts
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my heart upon your altar
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet don't let me falter

Chorus

OMG...it's quite crazy when delirious comes to church to rock everyone down...hahahaha FOP in August will see more of such crazy stuff...end off with this solid hit..

Delirious-Solid Rock

There's a rock that doesn't move,It hasn't moved, it will never move,Even though the waves come crashing down.There's a tower on a hill, its always strong,It will never shake,It was standing there before the world began.There's a wave that's coming in,Washing over this town, it will make or break us, reinvent us,It's time to lay me down.

On Christ the solid rock we will stand,All other ground is sinking sand.On Christ the solid rock we will stand,We'll climb on your back, take us to higher ground.

There's a song that doesn't fade,It never fades it was custom made,To raise the sons and daughters of this earth.There's a sound that's coming in,Rushing over this town, it will make or break us, reinvent us; it's time to lay me down.

chorus

My hope is built on nothing less,Than Jesus blood and righteousness.I dare not trust the sweetest frame,But wholly lean on Jesus name.When darkness seems to veil his face,I rest on his unchanging grace.In every high and stormy gale,My anchor holds within the veil.His oath his covenant and blood,Support me in the 'helming flood.When all around my soul gives way,He then is all my hope and stay.When the last trumpets voice shall sound,O then I may in him be found,Clothed in his righteousness alone,Faultless to stand before his throne.(rap with a loudhailer)

chorus

farce

everyone's working nowadays.everyday's like a bad day in the office,the share of ridiculous yellings,crazy deadlines,jackass jobs and all other jackshit.from the smallest kids in here who are nicely 100% employed in schools and introduced to the next rat race,to even some people trying their darndest best to

somehow everything stops in january.but not theatre...because i'm still looking for someone to watch a good theatre production with me...esp with a suggestive title like Bedroom Farce.but I wouldn't have watched any theatre if not for the fact that as a consumer i feel equally proud at doing my part to build a arty society to go with our economic growth. especially the arts...an underrated secret ingredient to a civilised society,and yeah so many people wanted to be in the rat race that they don't realise what's it's like to rate a rare theatre show.In fact the theatre scene seems to be slightly stagnant with a tried and tested cast of thespians of our dad's generation,and what our dads and mums(wait,not all.the cheenapiangs will say nope) only can understand.they are very good,no doubt,but not growing.with them growing old,we badly need a good bunchof new talent before it gets as stale as ...spare you the details.here's the details...

Bedroom Farce(not a farce,but a fest showcasing the next generation of thespians)
DBS Arts Centre
12,13,14 Jan(all weekend),1930h
$20,$25,$30(no excuse for saying they eat money.why keep the money for yourself when you can do yourself a great favour karma wise)

oh well my chicken soup's cooking nicely and now back to watching more French gameshows i sorely missed

boredom

gameover.it's quite a scene where guys don't get to see their old friends for a long time when they start NS.and what about guys when they found out they're dumped because they can't meet up anymore with their girls...oh yeah and girls dumping their guys because they never grow up...haha

the worst thing about every passing generation of J1s is that they hardly seem to grow up especially after the dragon years.i had enough of muddled snakehead OGLs who don't even bloody know who the heck is in their OG after so many years...luckily the horses are better i thought they prefer drinking fermented horse milk instead of playing with their OGLs

New Year resolutions

regrettably the new year started on a funny note after I managed to give her the late xmas present 1 week on,at the turn of the year...and to top it all off she was very very tipsy and I ended up looking abit confused as I decided to cash in on my Scottish Leader blend and then disappear into the long and winding road post-countdown

that's why I just decided to post my new year's resolution,although they might be broken...oh well

1)greater concentration.I think I get distracted easily
2)spend less,either more or grand.I just managed to spend 100 plus on that heart keyring from swarovski that really said lots of stuff about her
3)resolve who i really love
