Singapore Sports - What do we need?

Disappointingly.. SG lost the semi finals of the Suzuki Cup.. The papers are all filled with words like shame, and disappointment. But what is the real disappointment to u?

If SG had won the Suzuki cup, aka Tiger cup in the past, would we have been proud? Half the singaporeans would curse and swear and say "aiya, all the ang mo playing, of course win la.. go challenge the world stage and see.." 

Then will come the topic of foriegn talent.. then comes the arguement from sports council saying, other countries are doin it, so what's wrong wif it?

So we need to win an Olympic silver again in London 2012? Do we need to dominate the footballing world? What will happen if we cannot even make it to past the group stage of Suzuki cup next yr, wat can happen any way?

So do you know y the stadium is not as pack as before? do u know y we were once so proud of winning only the M-League but no body cares when we won the whole south east asia?

We dun hav to win.. 
..
..
We only need to do our best!!!

If we see 11 Singaporeans, not only citizens, but home bornt, home grown.. gone thru primary school, early childhood which consist of school work and ECA, sang the national athemn every morning, watch the National day parade live at national stadium at least once, took PSLE, get complained by parents of playing too much soccer and not studying, etc etc etc.. u know what i mean..

When we see that lineup.. then u can be sure national stadium will be 50,000 crowd full even against a small country for a friendly game..

Quite a fool..

While chatting with seowyuin, she told me that she could help go thru my resume since I'm in the mist of updating it. Decided to show it to her reminding her not to laugh at it.. haha in the end, when she returned with comments, I laughed at myself.

OMG... I always thought that I found a wonderful template and am so proud of it..
To my horror, it was not even near..

She provided very valuable comments which leaves me to think I need really alot of time to change my resume, and also reminded me of a nonsencial incident involving my gd pal, Suz..

When I was first looking for job, she wanted to helped becoz she is workin at some HR recruitment agency, she looked at my "then proud resume" and scolded me and say it was a lousy written resume. Of course hearing that, my first reactions was to defend myself, completely ignoring her words. Reason: simply becoz I spend alot of time to make up the nice template. (n i'm still proud of it today)

If someday she gets to see this, well, Sorry Suz..  

Since this is a thing of the past, think i'm not goin to bring it up right at her face and apologise, at least i think i really did a gd job for her bday tis yr, hope can call it quits.

Congrats Alvin & Shujing

Last Sunday/Monday, 7th Dec - 8th Dec 2008, was a fantastic and magnificant day for the couple. In a relationship lasting 9 yrs, they finalling tie the knot at raffles hotel.

No mixed feelings at all, it was a busy but yet fulfilling day being a brother for one of my very good friends.

Oh wait, there is one thing worth mentioning about Alvin after all. Throughout the whole wedding preparation to actual day's event, I have been hearing some unhappiness from people around him, saying, he has not done enough for Shujing, and esp in wedding preparations, many things were left to her alone.

I cannot speak up for him on that, and I dun really know the details to start defending Alvin etc. But you have to agree something about Alvin is his patience and attitude towards the people around him. Have you ever seen him flare up or throw a tantram? Has he ever shouted or even show unhappiness? NEVER!!!

I wouldn't say I meet him often enough these years and I didn't spend 3 yr with him in Australia. but indeed he has never blown his temper. Every injustice he suffered, he would just keep quiet with a smile. Especially during days when we were in poly, the 4 of us always move around together, 2 x Alvin, lb and myself. We often had quarrels and things we dun seem to agree on, all of us had a taste of each others' temper, but never had I felt it from Alvin.

My point is, dun always judge a person by the things he did correct or wrong, judge from his attitude and behaviour at extreme moments. Haha, perhaps tat's the same logic as from army when they whack the trainee damn jialat before examining their ability to handle situations etc.
