Last blog...before Doha

Yes, U.N.C.L.E. I know. You don't have to remind me that I will be missing out on this weekly "outing" for the next three weeks. And you are seriously stressing me out when you said you look forward to reading this. So, without further ado... here's the blog.

The first thing that caught my eye was the knee guard on Simon's left leg. Too much dancing perhaps, while teaching the PSS contestants how to dance. Then it was Simon's sense of fashion, and his "Who's Singapore's next Top Model?" pose.

Then I thought, maybe it could be about the boys and their fashion sense. There is Remesh and his "bowling shoes" with his Man Utd jersey. Alvin wearing his "Made in China" Chinese jersey, and U.N.C.L.E.'s back to nature mentality (bare his top lah).

Then Remesh collided with Rongming, and Junior commented "Oi! The youngest player on the pitch lang ga the oldest!" But experience does comes with age. Rongming just charged ahead each time he gets the ball, but Remesh actually search for other options.

Johnni has had a two-week break and returned to the pitch with a vengence. Though his intention was clear, his stamina let him down. Simon too, has obviously lost touch as he nearly got the ball stuck along the piping.

U.N.C.L.E., on the other hand, had showed improvements in picking out opportunities at goal. He was quick on the rebound and even had the time to pick his spot before he sent his shot past tall and skinny keeper Daniel.

At the other end, the short and speedy keeper had a rather quiet game. For Raphael, playing in between the sticks is definitely not his forte, as he left his goal unguarded most of the time to challenge Daniel at the other end.

It wasn't long before time was up, and the "referee" a.k.a. Junior blew the whistle. But hey! What happen to "Play to the Whistle"? You guys continue despite the referee's final whistle! RED CARD for all!!

The Media Team made a quick getaway after the game. Some were reluctant to let us go, and comments like "you have seen xxx naked!" Well, Junior responded. "We had two shots of Daniel topless, one of Johnni. As for U.N.C.L.E., every week also naked, no value already!"

Showdown Delivery Service

Had to deliver episode 10 of Showdown for Alvin, so Showdown Delivery Service made a trip to Grande Vista during the boys' almost weekly game there. Turned out to be the opening ceremony of my new toy. "Ronaldino" was there to play. But he was wearing the wrong jersey. For the record, he said he hasn't put on "the BIGGER" one when we were talking about his hairband. At one point, when he was standing behind the goalpost, there was lacking a player in the arena. "Ronaldino" was saying, "I here, I here!" When it's time to KO, Rongming and "Ronaldino" of them chose to pose before starting, making all the players wait for them. Peter commented that I finally brought a camera down. Well, it's opening ceremony for my new toy. He had wanted a pictures on this blog for a long time, and I believe he wasn't the only one. But something has gotta give, so with pictures come lesser words. Afterall, a picture speaks a thousands wo

Bidding Farewell...

… to 2007, so I thought why not have a game at JBS when Cynthia suggested that Ross played with the Stunners for the last time this year, against the Media I contacted Ben and the stage was set for 28 Nov. But it wasn’t as smooth as it turned out to be. Ben, the team manger for the FAS Stunners called and asked if the match can be postpone to January as they could not get enough people. With the Boys all revved up and ready to go, Ben promised he will try and gather his troops. Raphael and I came out with a list of 20 people from the start. The list quickly became 16 and on the day itself, we only had 14 and only 12 turned up. At about 2pm in the afternoon, Mark sms me saying that match will be cancel as the weather is not looking good. Even Ross called me and said heaven is not on our side. I remained positive and said the rain, has got 2hr and 30min to rain and then it will stop and we can KO. Later, I received an sms from Alvin saying that my assistant manager asked him to be coach

The most colourful colour commentator

After a LONG drive to Deptford field, we arrived to see players donning red tops already doing their warm-ups on the pitch. What caught me unaware was that I was to become blood donors to the food depleted mosquitoes there. The heavy downpour prior to KO did nothing to dampen Peter’s mood. He even brought along the “chest” of tops we bought in Korat. Those who turned up without red tops were handed one each, and our regulars took theirs at long last. Half of the Reds were unfamiliar faces to me, I began to wonder how am I going to blog about this game. So after the team has decided on their tactics, I interrogated Kelvin Tham on the players. I only managed to register Vincent. Though KO was stated at 7pm, the game finally started at 7.35pm. Kelvin commented that we might lose this game as Rongming had a bandaged knee, and our goalie’s goal-kick buay zhai. Before play had settled down, Chris made a clearance that looked ugly but effective. Not long after, Shawn (I think) sent the Reds o
