A brilliant start
EURO 2008, one week into it, we've seen the evolution of modern soccer move one notch higher. No longer is one man able to terrorise defences and change the course of the game. Football is about 11 men as 1, not a one man show. It is evident that teams with the strongest teamwork do better than teams which have star players and tend to rely on them. So far, Portugal, Spain and Netherlands have been really impressive, the Portugese defeating the Czech and the Turks by decent scorelines, Spain with a 4-1 rout of Russia, and the Dutch, oh my. 3-0 over world champs Italy and just this morning, 4-1 over 2006 WC losing finalists France. Which justified why i stuck to the Dutch for as long as i watched soccer. Hopefully they'll be able to go all the way. In the modern game now, he who hesitates loses. It only takes 15 secs for an attack from one end of the pith to the other. That's like how fast it takes to type 2 sentences. Such is the expectations nowadays.
Weekdays have never been this busy. Normally lunch hours would be time to catch forty winks at the rest area, but now it's continuous working/eating/working/EURO/msn-ing yak yak yak. Time passes super quick, and the IT fair's also under way le. Mid june signifies the time for application of hostel/uni admin matters, and gotta take note of the dates to apply. I realise im still abit playful and boyish at heart. ahha. neither good nor bad, but the responsibilities of an adult will come fast and i must be ready for it.
August beckons. When it comes, a new chapter unfolds..

Singapore 3 Uzbekistan 7 - Simply, we're not that good.
LOL. haven't had time to blog about this episode yet. wah i was treated to one of the more entertaining scoreline matches, yet on 2nd Jun it was not to be our night. We turned up in red, the scoreline reflected red on our report cards, the Singapore defence saw red bulls charging at them like they've just drank Red Bull, outplayed, outmuscled, outgunned, outfought, outwitted, outshoned, outmatched, outpaced, haha i duno wat other words to describe. Goal 2010 might seem closer for us now, but so close, yet so far. Reality check. Ding.
Work has been busy thus far, with new temps joining us coming from various univerisities and we the slightly more senior birds (even though the new fellas are mostly older than us) do show them the ropes abit. They are Phillip, Josephine, Lester, Allen, Forest, Samson, Yuezhu and Li Yuan, all in tertiary education already, some in their first year, some in their second.
As June kicks off, it's time for KT the sleepyhead to wake up from his slumber... it's time for EURO 2008! More sleepless nights, can expect to go to work with half eyes open, more drama. By the end of june it'll mark the end of my 3rd and final month at UOB... and transition into uni life. There is a lot to learn, be it hard or soft skills, but like i said, i'l make it somehow. To move on is inevitable, time does not stop just for you, gotta keep up wif the pace. Anyway, i'm still Dutch for this EURO, even as their squad this year ain't at their best. Loyal fan k. haha...
Signing off...

One moment of silence...and listen...
Michael Jackson's Heal the World. Quite an oldie, but with recent happenings in China and Myanmar, this song came into my mind, again randomly. Enjoy.
What has our world become? Global warming, sea levels rising, more natural disasters, one can only say, cherish what you have right now, cherish life itself.

The Beautiful Game Part 2
After the World Cup in June 1998, it was on to the English Premier League, arguably the most popular league in the world today. Back in 1998 Arsenal were the defending champs, but the season of 1998-1999 belonged to Manchester United. Though i am, and will never be, no fan of United, but that season was classic itself.
It was amazing how this team carried on battling even in the face of adversity and made a reputation for themselves as the Comeback Kings. The team of Peter Schemichel, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Jaap Stam, Ronny Johnsen, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham, Nicky Butt, Jesper Blomqvist etc, became legends after this season. The first clip is the last game of the Premier League, where Man U pipped Tottenham 2-1 and nicked the title by 1 point ahead of Arsenal.
The second clip has to go down as one of THE games of the decade.
After drawing 0-0 with Arsenal in the semi finals of the FA Cup, an English domestic tournament, the replay was just illuminating. Arsenal 1 Man Utd 2 was the scoreline, but what drama. David Beckham, for one, after being ridiculed by his country for his red card against Argentina in the World Cup, more than redeemed himself as he struck again to put Man U ahead. Dennis Bergkamp levelled for Arsenal, but then the goal from Man U's Ryan Giggs just left players and fans spellbound.
The third clip is the European final between Man U and Bayern Munich (the German champs) in neutral Barcelona, Spain. This match to determine who will go down as the champs of Europe. Man U, having won the Premier League and the FA Cup, were chasing the Treble, 3 major trophies in the season. 90 minutes in a match, plus injury time (a few minutes), and this match highlighted why United are the comeback kings, as they won the trophy not in the 90 minutes of play, but in the dying minutes of injury time, from 0-1 down to 2-1 up. Enjoy.
By the way, i support Arsenal. LOL.

The Beautiful Game Part 1
Enjoy... Me the soccer fanatic all these years... here's how it started...
Holland 2 Argentina 1 (the match that started my support with the Dutch, World Cup 1998 Quarter Finals). The Dutch in their classic orange kit, Argentines in their blue and white strip.
Match facts: Both sides were very even heading into this match, boasting players (now legends) like Bergkamp(my all time fav), Overmars, Davids, De boer brothers, Kluivert, Batistuta, Ortega, Veron, Simeone etc. Classic match. By the way, the whole of the tournament i backed the Dutch. Lol. This was one classic moment.
