GY Match Review

On the backleg of a 7-0 whipping by the samba boys, the GYs were naturally in slight trepidation during the build-up to the match. The gaffer made significant changes and made a slightly surprising lineup, pushing JINGmie Carragher and HENGry to the middle of the pitch. A new ultility player, signed 24 hours before the match, was also revealed before the kick off. HUBERTo Silva started the match between the posts but soon moved to a more familar defensive position.


The opponents WAAFC (weak ass airforce FC) never had a chance right from the start. Fueled by the new changes and the determination to end the year on a high note, the GYs opened their scoring account early on with a rare strike from JINGmie Carragher.

Halftime and the boys took a deserving lead into the break. Talk of the first clean sheet in two and a half years were rife in the air. Surprisingly the number one, Adrian, was nowhere to be seen. Rumours of a January transfer were picked up by the tabloids.

Second half did not start off as brightly as the first, due perhaps in part of the aging team of GYs who never had much fitness to start with. Good goals from AkinbiYI, POHdolski and XaVIN AloHO effectively killed off the game and left WAAFC in shambles. 4-0 to the GYs.

The beautiful game was however marred by the sending off of 2 WAs (weak asses) and ROYnaldo (the fat one), in a shoving and spitting incident. Match official Dave is currently considering opening a police investigation. In a swift act of discipline, GYFC officials released a statement at press time stating that they do not condone such acts of violence from their players and ROYnaldo has been fined 1 week of wage amouting to GBP0.00 (approximately SGD0.00) and will start the next match between the posts regardless of who the 11th man is.

ESPN play of the day: HUBERTo Silva actually producing a pair of spare boots when KOKnavarro asked for it.

Man of the match: HUBERTo Silva for the exact same reason.

Winter break beckons and the holidays are calling. Have a good holiday season GYs all over the world and keep yourselves safe and out of trouble. See you all at the next gathering.

G@Y week in Review

From the emails that were exchanged this week, here is a lowdown of what has passed in the week of GY.

GY Beng actually mixed up dreams with reality. GYFC did lose 7-0. But as it was to Brazil, it's very forgivable.

Repeat GY had visited terracotta at Xi'an and is now probably mixing with monks in Tibet. Last heard, he believed that he is Brad Pitt and can spend 7 years there.

GorY informed GYFC kindly that SBS has a superb helpline. If you are on a bus that you think goes somewhere but doesnt, remember to give the call a shout.

On a totally related note, GorY obtained part one of his flying licence. Technically it's frozen. But physically it's online.

We were also told that pilots had to learn waitering skills in case the chief steward falls ill/die during a flight.

True to his roots, tuG@Y had a pendicure. He also went to a sex romp in Thailand.

Australia beat England by 6 wickets in a hell of a cricket match in Test 2 of the Ashes.

Spirits Dampened......

Torrential rain in the morning branded today's weekly GYFC match a no-show. The spirits in the GY camp were clearly dampened. Following last week's resounding victory, everyone was clearly eager to put in another magnificent display. It was not meant to be. Well, it's the monsoon season.

On a seperate note, i went back to sleep after receiving the news that the match was cancelled and i had a dream. I dreamt that we were on the wrong end of a 7-0 thrashing by a team in yellow, and yes, i vaguely remembered that it was the brazilian national team. Luckily it was nothing more than a dream.....

My favourite at the moment!

England VS South Africa @ Twickenham

Before the game England was on the back of seven defeats, their worst run in 34 years. South Africa are not faring much better and the teams will meet again in the group stages in next year's rugby World Cup.

Great game in the end. The Springboks took the lead at first 13-8 then at 21-13. Phil Vickery scored a late late try and Andy Goode converted it to make it 23-21 for a victory.

Twickenham is an awesome stadium. The atmosphere was great as well. In Rugby matches, beer can be brought into the ground and there is no segregation between the fans!! It's a good family atmosphere, not like football.

Arsenal VS Hamburg @ Emirates

The shame was I didn't have my camera with me, but hey, mental pictures last forever.

Rafael van der Vaart scored a great goal after 4 minutes, but an Arsenal fight-back in the second ensured that they are in pole position to go thru.

I witnessed the pace of Walcott in action and yes, I really thinks that he will be a superstar in time to come. Henry has lost it this season - he looks like a lost sheep upfront.

"Right-Back" where he belongs

News of another draw match filtered in soon after it ended. Dunno if i have gotten the facts right, ROYnaldo had a hand in 2 goals.. opposition ones.. Apparently we need to consider this : Is Right-Back where he belongs? or should we put him right back to where he belongs ----> the bench. Nothing interesting to update, meanwhile just suck on this :

I got nothing much today. Just read about more people complaining about GST. Found a blog that at least tries to reserve judgement till the full effects of the hike are felt. Gayle Goh writes pretty sound economics essay for someone her age. At least she got more of her economics fundamentals right. But don't starting salivating yet guys, she's NOT foxy...

For those that missed it, here's a transcript of President Bush's speech at NUS. Be forewarned, it is a rather lengthy transcript. And being the GY that I am, I refuse to give any highlights of the speech. I didn't catch any boo-boos in his speech though, which can be thought of as an improvement?

Seems like the only interest my daily reads have generated is the link to jphotobook with it's "artistic" pictures. You people make me sick! Anyway more of the same since this is probably the easiest way for me to update and maintain the blog on a more regular basis. Other contributors could do the same as there can never be enough interesting links on the web eh?

Following the furor generated by the PM's annoucement to increase GST to 7%, I felt the need to seek out more neutral opinions instead of the usual outcries of death to the government that has become the norm for netizens whenever a new government policy is annouced. Andy Mukherjee, a columnist with Bloomberg living in Singapore, sums up nicely the reprecussions of the planned GST hike. A good and short read for the economic and social ramifications of the proposed hike.

Fans of Liverpool weep! For it seems our only reasonable target this season is fourth place in the premiership. How the mighty have fallen. With only less than a third of the season gone no less...

Underneath all the moaning about GST, let us not forget that several fundamental changes have also been made to our penal code. Much joy to those who enjoy a little bit of spice and adventure in the bedroom, you now have no fear that at any moment a SWAT team will burst through your door and arrest you. However admist some of the changes is a little gem that perhaps escaped your eyes. Already strict controls on internet content have now been made tighter with harsher penalties. Read what the FT and IFEX has to say.

Entertainment news, and reports say that Oprah is not invited to TomKat's wedding. Could this be due to a little couch-jumping incident? And for all you closet Kylie fans (myself included), looks like she's back doing the locomotion!

Robbed of the services of starlet Vincenzo Iquainta two hours before kick-off, GYFC struggled as they were crushed 3-0 by resurgent Portugal FC side.

Vincenzo reportedly failed a sex test at 7am and did not turn up as his team mates geared up for one of the biggest game in the season.

The match began with Portugal FC asking all the early questions. GYFC could do very little to get into their usual passing game. Even before the game reached the half-hour mark, GYFC players were seen panting and asking for substitutes.

Not surprisingly, PFC took the lead when PFC no.9 latched on to a pass over the defence to send a loping shot right pass the inexperienced Roynaldo in goal.

During the half-time teamtalk, de-facto captain Zhi Ruiberto was heard screaming and lamenting his team's apparent lack of fitness, skill, technique and commitment. His words did appear to motivate the team as GYFC linked up well early in the second half to create the few opportunities they had in the entire game.

Pohdolski and Roynaldo were both wasteful as the failed to beat PFC's Dutch (wannabe) goalkeeper.

Lapses of concentration later in the second proved all so costly again as GYFC crumbled and allowed PFC to make the score 3-0.

In a post-match conference, Jingmie Carragher told the press about his new found abilities, 'I can tell if a team is good by looking at 2 of their players.'

It was later revealed that he had initially predicted a GYFC whitewash after seeing 2 of PFC players.

The fans/players gathered after the game and called for team manager/captain Zhi Ruiberto to arrange a match against the legendary Benny's team. The last time GYFC clashed with Benny's Team, the GYs walked away with a 10-1 romp.

It's too early to judge Zhi Ruiberto's abilities to arrange such a game, but judging by what the fans witness at Rainbow Valley, his time will be up soon if he cannot turn the tables.

ROYnaldo (17th min) Gay Sailor no.11 (5th min)

Adebayor TOH (40th min) Gay sailor no. 9 (75th min)


















Adebayor showing phantom where STD anonymous normally meets
















Gay sailors


GYFC shook off last weekend's catastrophic performance to gain a point against a stubborn GAY SAILORS, preserving their wonderful 7 match unbeaten run at the Rainbow Valley.

Gay sailors started the match brightly and troubled the new defensive pair of KOKnovaro and Daniel HENGer. A woeful mix-up in the centre almost saw the sailors take the lead right from kick off.

But it didnt take the Visitors long to take the lead. In the fifth minute, No.11 breached the offside trap and beared down on goal. A smart finish gave CuduSEEni no chance. One Nil to the sailors

The GY clicked into gear shortly with RoVINho, Adebayor TOH and EdmilXIANG pulling the strings in midfield. ZI RUIberto and ROYnaldo providing plenty of width.

A wonderful move saw GY equalize in emphatic fashion. Sailors were undone by a smart one-two with RoVINho smuggling the ball to Del HAOno. His cross was connected by an eccentric effort by POHdolski. The ball came off the cross bar and ROYnaldo was on hand to smash the ball into the net. One all. Game on.

Euphoria of the equaliser swung GY into more good work. Del HAOno hitting the crossbar from a ROYnaldo corner. The five man midfield had a stranglehold in the middle. The sailors were looking lacklustre.

It was inevitable that GY took the lead and deservedly so. A half cleared corner was met with a sweet volley by Adebayor TOH. The left-footed strike nestled in the back of the net to give the GYs 2-1 lead.

Several switches made at half-time seemed to have disrupted the GY's rythme. And a sailors equaliser was forthcoming.

A mix-up outside the penalty box ceded possesion to no.5 who squared to no.11 who finished with aplomb. 2-2.

GY made more changes and sent on PHANTOM GY to have stab at winning the game.

GY PHANTOM lacked match fitness and had just recovered from spells of Gonorhea and Syphilis which saw him sidelined for a lengthy period. The rest of GYFC were given clear instructions not to come into contact with Phantom's groin area amidst fears that STD was airborne.

At the final whistle sailors were elated at having stole a point while GY players were glad they did not come into contact with Phantom.

I Might Sleep with Jessica Simpson

I am prepared to go on the record as saying, "I think I would have sex with Jessica Simpson". Now before you judge me, hear me out. I know people perceive Jessica Simpson as a little "bimbotic" and the whole "I was married to Nick 'one hit wonder' Lachey" bit doesn't help my cause, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t engage "in coitus with her".

Now go ahead and think what you want, but I have given this a great deal of thought and I think I just might do it. I mean given the chance, of course. It’s really none of your business anyway, but I’m just letting you guys know for the record. It’s not like I am out searching for her and trying to make it happen, but I'm just saying if her naked body fell into my lap, I don’t think I would turn her down.

Some of you may think I am crazy about this whole "having sex with Jessica Simpson" thing. You might be questioning my willingness to admit to something like this. But the bottom line is that I think I would have sex with her! Now, those who know me are probably thinking that I am just bullshiting again, but not this time. This is something I have considered seriously. Really! I have weighed the pros and cons, and it looks like I would do her.

At this point, I am sure many will ask "Why her?" That’s a good question, and the answer is simple. She’s very FOXY! Call me shallow, call me a GY, but that is really the only reason I have for saying I would do her.

Don't get me wrong; there were a few things that made me question my my conclusion; for example, the whole husband fiasco was really hard to get past. The fact that she was married to that douchebag really made me ponder about the whole issue. In the end, Jessica Simpson is still foxy and I feel I could look past her failed marriage while I explored her body. Another reason I questioned my decision is that no-talent sister of hers, Ashlee Simpson. You know the one who can't make up her mind if she's cute/gothic/rock/pop? I don’t know about you, but just the chance that I would think of her sister while I was trying to engage in sexual congress with Jessica Simpson almost broke the deal. But in the end, Jessica Simpson is still foxy, so I think I could block her out of my head for a couple minutes (seconds) while I go about the act.

I am still struggling with my decision right now. I just think having sex with her is something I would not mind doing. Both of us are single right now, and I think I should be a notch above Nick Lachey. So if having sex with Jessica Simpson were an option, I would do it! I think? I mean it is only a few minutes out of my life, and I could say, "Hey I fucked Jessica Simpson". And that would be alright. I have had much worse prospects before...

After all that, your next question might be, "Hey Poh, since you said you will probably have sex with Jessica Simpson, where would you do it?" Good question. I haven't really given it much though but just off the top of my head I’ve put together a list of places where we could have sex:

• against a wall (preferably a kitchen wall)
• the back seat of my Nissan
• a temple (for religious reasons)
• on a bedroom floor (really doesn’t matter whose)
• bathtub (same as above)
• the beach
• bed with a mirror above it
• backstage of at a performance of "Dim Sum Dollies" (I support the Arts)
• on a carpet (clean)
• in JB
• in a dark cave
• in a classroom at my alma mater
• in a conference room at my office
• desert (on a blanket of course)
• the kitchen floor (see point about bedroom floor)
• a SAF hammock
• on the hood of my Nissan
• in the sea then back on the boat deck
• in the jungle (I'm nostalgic about SAF)
• outside against a car (any), then on the ground, then in the "longkang" (in that order)
• in the rain
• at Nanyang lake
• in the bed she lost her virginity in
• in a standard shower cubicle
• in KL
• the back of a pick-up truck
• standing (I can hold her up)
• a storeroom at Courts (just a thought)
• my brother’s room
• in BKK
• in a GV movie theater
• my friend's bed (just to piss him off)

Of course this list is not conclusive. Just off the top of my head that's all. There may be other places that I want to have sex with Jessica Simpson at, I think...

So there you have it. I think I might have sex with Jessica Simpson if the situation presented itself. I’m not going to pursue it, but if it happens, I probably wouldn’t turn it down. Then again, maybe I would...

Cheers Leh

A Whole Bunch of GYs

Shaking off their insipid performance against the Reds, the GYs managed a credible performance against a star-studded Portuguese side the week before. Complacency in the Portuguese team saw them lose their one goal lead to a GY team putting up one of their best performances to date.

This week it was the Red Devils that greeted GYFC at the Teck Whye stadium (secondary school). Looking sharp in their pre-match work out, initiation reactions from the GY camp were naturally apprehensive, especially after discovering the ethnicity of their opponents. An offensive plan was hence formulated while the GYs were seated on the pitch "stretching" that involved strategic silence aided by a placard and generous amounts of humour.

A scheduled early kick-off was instead off to a late start due to officiating problems. After the officiating obstacles were cleared (appeared), miraculously the over-hanging clouds disappeared along with the problems. There were no notable absences from the GYFC squad although sporadic reports of the GY phantom have been surfacing. An encouraging addition to the squad in the form of Adrian as GK lifted the spirits of Maxi Rodriguez whom majority had their money on to be the 11th man again.

Venue: Teck Whye Secondary School
Kickoff: 930am (scheduled), 1030am (actual)
Referee: Dave's friend's replacement
Opponents: The Red Devils

Match Highlights:
The match started off with the GYs in trepidation and giving far too much credit to their opponents. But the seasoned flair of the GYs soon shined through and play was dictated by the GYs (thankfully). The defence was looking tight and stingy with their space. Centre of the pitch the midfielders were stamping their authority winning the aerial battle. Early chances fell to the GYs as Pohdolski latched on to a poor pass and nearly punished the Reds with a clever shot the went narrowly wide of the top right corner of the net.

Experience soon prevailed and Pohdolski reacted first to a shot that was parried by the Reds' custodian and this time he made no mistake with his LEFT foot. 22nd minute and 1-0 to the GYs! The crowd of 1 (uncle in yellow polo sitting by the toilet) went wild!

It wasn't before long that Pohdolski, fast becoming a crowd favourite, struck again for the GYs. A good run by XaVIN AlonHO down the flank in the 30th min followed by a low cross to the centre of the six yard box found Pohdolski who steered the ball in brilliantly with his LEFT knee. 2-0 GYFC!

A celebratory mood was in the air at half-time. Dominating the match, the GYs were busy patting each other's backs during the interval. Complacency crept in as Jingmie Carragher took over the gloves from Adrian, perhaps wanting to perform the heroics that he had accomplished the previous week. Despite the warnings that this perhaps could be the only time in 2 years of top-flight football that GYFC could manage a clean sheet, Jingmie persisted in his decision.

The second half started like the first, with the GYs firmly in control. However complacency soon crept into the ranks and the chemistry was somewhat lost to individual pursuits. A clever lob by the Devils in the 50th min had Jingmie beaten and the clean sheet lost for good. 2-1 and nerves were rattled.

A tactical decison to take Roynaldo (the fat one) and XaVIN AlonHO off on the hour mark by manager Zhi Ruiberto and pushing Neo to the flanks paid dividends when an incisive pass by Neo found Woon Rooney who put the ball past the reach of the keeper with the faintest of touches. The two goal cushion was thus restored in the 75th min.

3-1 was the final score. Credit to the GYs but many would lament the lack of a clean sheet.

Editor's pick for man of the match: Pohdolski (without a doubt).

League matches have been suspended for the coming week due to lack of managerial advice. Look out for more updates on this page.

Chief Editor's note: The Chief Editor hates all the GYs that did not contribute to this match report and sincerely hopes that he sees them in hell together with him.

The Beginning of a New Era?

After an early morning downpour that threatened the kickoff, players arrived at Tanglin pitch 3 to miraculously find the venue relatively unscathed by the rain, as if the gods had constructed an invisible shield over the skies in anticipation of our match.

Buoyant over the continued successes of their previous matches, the level of confidence was high in the GYFC camp. Celebrations over the success of last weekend's crunch match carried on long into the week. It's to be noted that several key players were spotted partying late into the night hours before the morning kickoff. The manager would surely express his displeasure at this lack of discipline, if he existed...

Notable absences from this week's squad list include Woon Rooney, who opted out from the squad because he was "not sick", and Vin Nistelrooy, whom many are starting to doubt his existence. It remains a mystery to put a face to his name as the elusive Vin Nistelrooy has yet to be spotted on match day. Player or GY ghost? The fans have yet to reach a conclusion. Another significant absence was Bran (not his real name). Interviews with team mates only drew vague comments like "Biatch!", "what's his secret?", "he's whipped"...

Venue: Tanglin Pitch 3
Kickoff: 930am (GMT +8)
Referee: Dave's friend
Opponents: Reds

Match Highlights:
An aggressive start by GYFC as the weakness of the opponents' backline was quickly exposed. An intelligent pass by Neo in the 12th min saw Pohdolski shrug off his opponent with what is turning into his signature style and firing a shot into the bottom right corner of the goal from 25 yards out. 1-0 to the GYs!

A free-kick conceded 30 yards out from the GYs' goal in the 32nd min gave the Reds a golden opportunity. A pin point cross into the box caught the GYs off-guard and a Red rose unchallenged to glance the ball into the back of the net with a classy header. 1-1! Game on!

The rest of the half was evenly contested as both sides had their chances. Tactial substuitions by the GYs ensured the fitness of the team was not compromised. The referee blew for half-time with the score tied at 1 apiece.

After the break, players from both sides battled it out in what can only be described as "football like you've never seen before". GYFC's cohort of aging stars had occasional lapses of concentration which gave the fans (2 dogs, 2 kids and their mum) a few scares. Koknavarro had an injury scare late on in the game but after consultation with the team doctor (Koknavarro), concluded that it was minor and could be treated with acupunture.

The match ended in favour of the Reds 5-1.

Morale was surprisingly high in the GY camp after the game. However rumours of spies in the GYFC team were overheard at the press conference after the game. Reporters also noted the absence of the team's physio/lone supporter from last week's game. The tabloids have already begun drawing their conclusions from these significant developments.

Preparations for the upcoming match are already underway with the GYs seemingly not affected by the past match.

Our run continues...

We have won again!!!
Believe it or not, the once-proclaimed-to-be-losers-GYFC has risen from the ashes and broken our 8 game losing streak. Not only that, we are on a roll right now with a 4 match unbeaten run... What a turn of events.
We have now gelled as a team and have gone from strength. Though some attribute it to the new jersey, some say it's the Abdul Malek GK jersey, some say it's because Dave is giving us lousy opponents, it does not matter. Let's just hope that this streak continues for GYFC.

Highlights of today's match:

Final score: 4-2 (2-0)
Handicap before KO: +0.5 (because we have no subs today)
Handicap at KO: 0 (because our opponents looks overweight but the fact is we still do not have subs)
Referee: Dave
Venue: Old Police Academy
Time: 1530
Weather: Cloudy
Supporter/Physio: Suinan's gf. A pretty lady that has been here for the past 2 matches to grace our wins. However, her presence seems to cause some distraction to our centre back SUI Campbell.

Lineup:
Jing Shen (suinan's bro) - GK
CSC - DL
Kok - DR
Weihao - DC
Suinan - DC
Max - DM
Zhirui - ML
Roy - MR
Weixiang - MC
Vincent - AM
Wenxiu - SC

18min 1-0 : Own Goal but our opponent, headed into the net beyond their own keeper. ROYnaldo CLAIMS he put the defence under immense pressure

27min 2-0: Pinpoint cross from the right floats across everyone to the far post. ZI RUIberto heads the ball beyond the keeper for our 2nd goal. Our opponents are utterly humiliated.

51min 2-1: Opponent lets fly from 25m out. Ball goes into the top right corner. Lucky... Nothing but sheer luck.

58min 2-1: Opponent (named Patrick) gets 2 yellow cards in quick succession to get himself sent off. LOSER!!! But being a gracious team, we let them have another player come on in place of him. But only bcos he was a fat ass.

67min 3-1: VINCENZO Iaquinta receives the ball on the left and lets fly a curling shot that the keeper has no chance in reaching. The 2 goal margin is restored.

76min 3-2: Opponent springs the offside trap and bears down on goal on the right. He produces a shot that is just beyond our keeper's reach and goes in off the upright. LUCKY again!!! How lucky can they get? GYFC begins to wonder if lady luck has deserted us and wants us to lose.

83min: 4-2: A moment of magic from VINCENZO Iaquinta as he embarkes on a mazy run down the left, cuts in, and produces a Paul Konchesky effort to beat the keeper. The game is safely in the bag. After the match, VINCENZO claims that he intended to lob the keeper but the team decides that it looks more like a typical POHdolski effort.

Match of the match: It was thought to be a close fight between MAXi Rodriguez (for driving the midfield with his endless energy) and VINCENZO Iaquinta (for his 2 goals) but in the end, it turns out to be dark horse Jing Shen (simply for his commitment to being the keeper for the full game).

Of note: It was highly commendable for CSC and Fabio KOKnavarro to have completed the full match without being substituted (simply becos we had none) or getting carried off the pitch. CSC had a cramp towards the end but it was just a simple cramp, NOT MORE THAN CRAMP.

Our winning run goes on and on.....

Next weekend's fixture might be postponed due to ZI RUIberto and MAXi Rodriguez being on international duty with the Thai National team....

Confession

Foreword:

Inspired by recent events in the socio-political hotbed we call home, I have decided to put to paper (or blog) my personal confession. After extensive research on my chosen topic of confession and of course much plagarism the end result is a well-crafted piece of literature.

I have a confession to make. I fucking love smoking. Right at this point many of you will be thinking what a horrible person I must be and should go straight to hell. Guess what? I've been a GY since the day I was born and my VIP room in hell was reserved way before any of you schmucks even discovered the concept of lighting up.

That's right. I'll be the one driving on the highway to hell with a Marlboro hanging from the corner of my mouth. And none of those pansy Menthol cigarettes as well. Not unless you're a sixteen year old girl trying to act like a whore. Menthol cigarettes are solely reserved for runny noses. And you only get runny noses after crying. Conclusion: Menthols are for wimps who cry.

I like to think of myself as a professional smoker. Armed with this extensive knowledge of smoking, I consider it a crime if I did not contribute in some way to humanity. I've decided to start a revolution. Revolution calls out my name to make the knowledge of smoking immortal (or at least till cancer kills us all).

For all you novice smokers or people wanting to start smoking but are not too sure about the requirements, fear not, it's not as stringent as you imagine. All you really need is a pair of lungs and a maverick-like spirit for doing crazy and hazardous stuff and you'll be ready to light up. And having an arm or two might ease the lighting up process. Children of all ages welcome to apply.

To commerate the start of my revolution I have come up with a list of situations whereby smoking is essential. Here we go:

The smoking man in "X-files". If you were to be a mysterious man who holds the key to all the questions that a FBI agent has been searching for his whole life, how can you justify your clandescent meetings by not smoking? Imagine the smoking man turning for his meetings with an ice-cream cone... NOT cool.

The bad-ass traffic light stare. Imagine you're driving an economy car and you just stopped at a red light. A fancy sports car pulls up besides you. The couple in the sports car glances over to you with mocking eyes. A pretty-boy who's living off his parents' money and his stick-like model bitch. You look at them and realise it's time for a non-verbal "fuck you". You slowly reach for your fags and light them up with a flick of your lighter (preferably a Zippo). You take a long drag and slowly turn towards them. A pimp-ass song starts on the radio. Time seems to be in slow motion, almost standing still. You give them a slow motion wink and drive off, leaving them with their jaws to the ground in total awe of how shit-ass cool you are.

In a bar fight. So you're in a club hitting on this hot chick. The chick's "I look so tough but I cry like a baby when I watch Oprah" boyfriend angrily confronts you and demands you back off from his bitch. At this moment you know it's on! Take a long drag from the cigarette already hanging on your lips, blow toxic second-hand smoke into his face, giving him cancer ON THE SPOT. Kick him in his balls and while he's down on his feet grovelling, kick him some more and laugh while doing it. Then grab your ice-cold Heineken and continue hitting on his chick.

Now that we have come up with what must be the top three situations in a non-exhaustive list of situations where smoking is essential, the flames of my revolution is burning bright. I shall just throw in a few more tips to get all of you aspiring smokers started.

Get a Zippo lighter. Not one with those flashy designs of dragons or some gay colour like blue. Just a plain sliver one would do the job. You just need the damn thing to open and light the damn cigarette!

DO NOT get smoke in your eyes. It is a rookie mistake. Season smokers like me develop the smokers' scowl. Done right, the smokers' scowl looks so bad-ass that even the cigarette smoke is scared shitless and runs away. Getting smoke in your eyes is the soccer equivalent of shooting into an open goal and missing.

Always flick your cigarette butt onto somewhere dangerous. Preferably an open patch of kerosene. Or anything flammable. This increases your bad-ass level. Start another fire that burns bright for our revolution.

So come on and join me on the highway to hell, light up a smoke and we can enjoy life to the fullest, one cigarette at a time.

A Sign that Time really Flies by so quickly......

Was going through the tons of messy files and photos in my computer and great memories came back to me again. A few special yet recent ones would be those of the last Tiger Cup that we went to at the National Stadium.

It's hard to imagine that it has been almost 2 years since..... So many were there yet today many have so differing paths in life. All the best to everyone and esp those who are waiting for their exam results.

Homecoming and then some ....

3 weeks of hard-core doing nothing has come to an end for me and here am I, back in the capital of the World, London.

Wonderful 3 weeks, glad to be there when my sister gave birth to a lovely girl and Gordon made a promise for life.

Here's a quick picture recap!
