I have been busy last few days with the preparation of my good friend "Changman" wedding tomorrow. I am excited to be able to help him by being the main coordinator as well as the MC (emcee) for his big night.
It is only these 2 days that i realised how important i am on tuesday night..phew..getting stress out abit.
Anyway, besides some of the preparation, we guys went out at night for dinner and a few drinks also..it was fun catching up..about things that happen in schools and soccer games..more than 12 years ago...
And yesterday i got a lovely gift from him, in advance for helping him out...
Wow...usually "brothers" that help the groom will get ang pow (red packets containing cash) as a token of appreciation for helping out. But this one is different, it adds on the sentimental value..and in future when i wear this gift..how can i not remember his wedding night.
Yes, he gave me a very classic Kenneth Cole watch...Nice isnt it?
Yesterday i was at the National Stadium to watch the 2008 Asean Cup Semi-Final Leg 2 match between Singapore Lions vs Vietnam.
I bought my tickets one day earlier at the Jalan Besar Stadium and was excited for the sunday match-up. Simple missed those atmospheres at the National Stadium to watch our Lions Roar.
The atmosphere was also good as we make our way in the evening towards the national stadium. There are FREE shuttle bus from Kallang Stadium, but we chose to join the Walking Contingent and march towards the stadium in style..Mood was good..Saw groups of Vietnam fans walking towards the stadium also..luckily no riot no trouble for all.

(Finally we have reached the entrance of National Stadium)
Mood was good in stadium and it was close to capacity crowd..think we have about 45,000 fans supporting the Lions..Vietnam only has a small section (less than 1000) of traveling supporters.

National Anthem of Singapore:
Match kicks off with Singapore Lions taking control of possession and launches wave after wave of attacks at the Vietnam Goal...
1st attack by the Lions, and we almost score...
And of course, the Lions were supported with lots of chanting of "butok" towards the Vietnam Team (and fans) as well as our famous "Kallang Waves"..They are AWESOME..The stadium was shaking...
But But,,,the lions just cant seems to penetrate the goal line of Vietnam, so many goals were either saved by the Vietnam goalkeeper or the Lions attackers were just not potent enough in front of goalpost.
And there was just 1 lapse in the second half of the match, that we allow the up and coming Vietnam Top Striker (and maybe this region's best) Vinh to dribble and dazzle past the sleeping defence line of Lions, and pass to him team mate to tap in the Vital GOAL! Lions is out of Asean Cup 2008.

Until next time..Lions we will keep you roaring with Kallang Waves!
Japanese game shows and live reality shows are very funny but it seems like they are infringing the human rights in some ways...or rather Intrusion of Privacy.
Don't think this can be done in many western countries (of cos they got Gags, etc..but not so extreme) as well as Singapore.
Enjoy anyway
PS: Drop me a comment on your thoughts. I would love to hear from you.
If you have been wanting to eat a sumptuous steamboat buffet and wonderful where is a good place..
This might be for you...the relaunch of the "7th Storey" Steamboat Restaurant.
It is actually famed as the 7th Storey Hainan Charcoal Steamboat Restaurant previously, before they were asked to closed down and relocate, due to the building of the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) train lines.
Now it is located at Marina Barrage and it is know as 7th Storey Life Seafood and Charcoal.
But do note that the price per steamboat session has been increased from the previous SGD29 to the current new price of SGD39.

I have been busy for the last week in preparing and coaching a group of Chemistry students on GCE O Level Chemistry Essential Concepts Revision Workshop.
The revision workshop was successfully completed and there are 14 students that gone home happy (13 from local Secondary Schools while one of them had flown in all the way from Mauritius in 7hrs flight). You can view the photos and comments from parents & students at my chemistry blogsite http://www.simplechemconcepts.com/.
Currently while writing this blogpost, i am involved as an observer in my fellow A-Math Trainer, Ai Ling's A-Math Essential Concepts Revision Workshop.
Just share with you some photos on "English Used Wrongly in China", sent by a good friend of mine.
Have a great laugh at those mitakes made in translation.
