World Cup In South Africa

-

My interest soccer started in the 1990 World Cup, which was hosted in Italy. The Italian National Soccer Team became my favourite team from then on. I particularly liked the defensive pairing of Paulo Maldini & Franco Baresi then.

For this World Cup, it will be an interesting experience for me and my family again. I have bought the Netherlands team jersey and was given my favourite team’s jersey by my uncle.

Here are my family predictions on the teams that may win the World Cup this year.

Italy: Although they won the last World Cup in 2006 for the 4th time, and the team is considered as an old man’s team as most of the players who played in 2006 are still playing, I believe that experience counts in such a major tournament like this. Not forgetting the coach, Marcello Lippi, who led them to World Cup victory in 2006. He is an experienced coach that has won many titles in the Italian Serie A with Juventus.

Netherlands: A team with a bunch of talented footballers, but have always underachieved due to players’ infighting. If this team can overcome the problem, it won’t be a surprise to see this team win the competition, come July 11

Brazil: A surprise from the team that plays samba football. My brother and I feels that this Brazil squad has a good defence and solid midfield this year. A good team’s foundation should be based on this.

Germany: Dad was saying this team will win this year. I was thinking he may be right, as even though Michael Ballack is out, I am sure the team will want to win it since the last World Cup they won in 1990 as West Germany. The team has the squad of players to do so.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
