To wat daryl had quoted from some liverpool ah pek had said before...............

somewhere closer to our time...
"The best way to play football is pass and move and as soon as Carlos gave me the ball I could see him starting his run out of the corner of my eye. He got on the end of my backheel and I'm delighted for him to have scored two today. He's worked very hard over the last two games and he deserves those goals."............wayne rooney

guys, pass and move, observe plays..........play with a football mind, not a booby brain....

Mojo

ARGH, my debut manager match

Good pitch and good weather, BUT lousy start for me, assignments not done, haven study finish, lousy haircut and left cx boots on the taxi, haha hope he dun read the blog soon! hes going to kill me.

Good play today everyone, too bad our fitness is a issue again but dont worry we'll only get better. wil and kelvin, chin up, the defensive errors are just sway, can be learnt. As quoted by our ah ben, "the play is there, now we need to maintain the tempo."

Sadly the turning point of our loss came with the loss of our lion hearted Desmond, hope hes fine now and then shantan took a knock to his shin. We're a small team. Alex Keano can only look to his empty bench haha. Wilson, we need medical supplies for our next match also! look into it

we then lack penetration when Daryl and sing ping got to come off, but we're a young side, alvin, kelvin and bert need a few more games under their belt to improve from their potential.

Now i going on exam break, but hopefully i can study hard enough to have training on Sunday mornings. my Asst coach, wilson will do the arrangements. but no competitive matches for the time been. after the match, we learn and study the errors and weakness, work on it then we'll move on!!!

Ratings!!!

Robin : GK : 6.5 Safe hands on 2 shots directed at him, could have be more assertive and faster when coming out for the loose balls. Hogged on the ball a tad too long when playing CM.

Desmond : CB : 8.0 Commanding Center and showed good potential with shantan, sadly we lost him halfway to a freak knock which showed how important he was in the game.

Shantan : CB : 7.0 Great defending today, but still have to develop into a harder player. showed several good connection with jinyu today. Have to take up the commanding role in absence of Desmond.

Scott : LB : 7.0 Natural defensive players, sorry got to force him on his weaker foot but good positioning sense, got to work on clearances and get a new pair of boots.

Wilson : RB : 6.5 Flourishing in this new role, beginning to show vision in crossing several early crosses and the free kick pass. need to work on tackling and defensive role. deserve the lower score due to the OG and temperament.

Daryl: LM :7.5 showed good plays and passes today, one of our teams penetrating strength. Showed improvement in positioning today and covering his Full back is a Plus. Team's passing slowed when hes not in the game. Con: need to show more fighting spirit when tired!!!! cant afford captain to laze at the final quarter of the match!!!

Jinyu : CM :7.0 great play today, although the fitness is still a concern, worked his way through a strained tight today. could have push further if fully fit. partnership with ben is juicy!!!

Ben : CM : 7.0 skillful play in the middle of the park, a joy to see him and jinyu dancing around the tall Freaks of the opposition. Although almost out of juice in the second half, he still managed to hold the ball upfront.

Lin Kai : RM : 6.5 great addition in the first half, but equally lacking like the rest of us in fitness. 1st half showed some good play with wilson but it broke down in the second half.

Desmond : LF : 6.5 showed great commitment to the cause with tireless running! have to improve with positioning and shooting.

ASP : RF : 7.5 lasted 20 minutes - scored the only goal and almost added another to his tally, took daryl's ball and the rest showed his pedigree. although at 10% fitness, he showed rather enough to remind me the er xin player he is when fully fit.

Bert: GK : 6.0 can be better although keeper is not his natural position. need to find out more on the position and tok to his defence

Kevin: LB : 6.0 Played at left rather than right, defensive error lead to second goal. need to be composed and improve on tatical position.

Chun Seng : 6.5 Played better in the center and provided a bit more bite when covering ben. Although had to cover unfamiliar grounds on the left in the second half as daryl came off, he did what he had to do but got to improve in fitness and delivery.

Alvin: LB : 6.0 still rather new to field soccer, but needs to build on composure, confidence and control in the game!

My man of match: Desmond (CB) although Jinyu and Daryl come close too.

Player Ratings

WOOT! been a while since i last blogged here!!! didnt even upkeep the chat box. you people ah.... its been a couple of months since our first official kick off in field soccer. in pursue of our passion, we travelled to pitches far and near. Well, we finally ended up with our very own home ground!!!! cool. Been a while since we started playing on the greens, let pundit ng give you a low down of our regular players plus their ratings for today's game.

Daryl Babel Cap of 407 Utd, tireless and speedy winger who takes on any defence.

Today's rating: 6.5 not the best performance today with some off form crosses and shots altough showing improvement in tactical discipline still need to work on curbing his enthusiasm at runs. good link up play with wee though

Wil-Walcott Liaison Coach, right mid-fielder with unstoppable fighting spirit

Today's rating: 7.0 good link up play with the center and supplied several yummy in play crosses for the forwards. need to work on corners delivery.

Robin Fowler Versatile Forward, Goal keeper

Today's rating: 6.5 show composure in front of the goal today but still need to add new dimension into game, lower the predictability during dribbles.

Shan- ferdinand Composed center back

Today's rating: 8.0 showed great maturity as a rock in the heart of the defence. a couple more of such performance shd strengthen our teams foundation.

Cx-Maldini Steady defensive midfielder

Today's rating: 7.0 showed his worth by stringing the passes in the center while performing his defensive covering. need to work on his aerial powess though

Alon-yu Creative center mid

Today's rating: 7.0 once again the creative platform in the center of the park, showed an eye for goal with several go at long shots although the final move failing him. would be invaluable if he can maintain his tempo throughout the full match.

Desmond Crouch

Determined forward

Today's rating: 6.5 not the best of outing for the motivated forward. tireless runs off the ball showed his worth but his touches today were not the best he has to offer.

Carlos Alberto Wee Powerful forward

Today's rating: a handful for any defence. ability to hold the ball and first touch finishing makes him an even tougher opponent. Although he should have finished off a larger ratio of his shots today.

Bill Shankly

SATURDAY marks the 26th anniversary of the death of the man who turned Liverpool into "a bastion of invincibility". Bill Shankly died on September 29, 1981, after suffering a heart attack and in the following home game a banner was unfurled on the Kop which told the world "Shankly Lives For Ever". It was only a simple statement, one intended to show that Liverpool’s greatest ever manager would never be forgotten by those who worshiped him, but it has turned out to be something of a truism. Shankly gave Liverpool a soul through his empathy with the common man, he gave the club an identity that made it respected throughout the world and, most of all, he brought dignity, class and distinction to a club that was in danger of being cut adrift prior to his Anfield arrival in 1959. All of those qualities have survived long after his death and no matter how many trophies we win and whatever success we have we should never lose sight of the fact that Liverpool is a special club because of the sheer humanity that Shankly brought to it.

In his own words: "Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple." Pass and move – the philosophy on which modern day Liverpool was built. It may not have been invented by Shankly but he instilled it in this football club to such an extent that it could never be forgotten.

Guys!!!!

I like the statement by Bill Shankly: Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourslef available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.

SHALL WE IMPLEMENT THIS INTO OUR SOCCER CULTURE?

let's us not be biased by whom said it as long as it benefits us - so that we WILL be successful in our quest of victory K?

Love you guys....my buddies...

daryl (they call me captain)

Double Victory!! For 407 and Arsenal!!

First Training Match Won! 1-0, great pass by Rob to Desmond who did well to bring the ball to the back of the net.

Good debut play by Ben, the tireless and skillful midfielder seems to be everywhere on the field. Prove to be as fast as our best midfielder Daryl Teng also our captain. And yea..nice play throughout the team. Hope we manage to grab a win next sunday at our second formal match of the season. Til then..tis is Gooner Tan.

Cheers..

BIG MATCH!!

8th of July 2007, as usual we have our weekly field training with the veterens. We were wondering when are we going to put in the debut goal ever since we started playing on the field..And..today, our dearest captain, Daryl Teng manages to drive in a superb ball into the 1m by 0.5m small goal post. What an accuracy! We definitely show great performance ever since our first defeat, 0-2 by the uncles. Passes and vision have improved tremendously throughout the team, of course under the guidance of our mentors. It is really a God send.

But one thing disappoints me though..A lot of injuries in our team resulting in poor attendance in our weekly training. Hopefully we can have more people joining us for our weekly training. Not only we can improve from there, but it helps us to improve our fitness as well as our team work. Til then..im looking forward to every sundays.


Cheers..

SoccerRoom2

Hi guys,

Update from last week soccermeet/training at East Coast Park

We have witnessed a marked improvement in our coordination and integration in relation in particular in our passing. I was impressed.

The guys and i were giving the uncles not an easy time out there. On a number of occassions we can score and win the game straight away, but our finishing shows more improvement. Nevertheless our defence and midfield are improving, really improving.

Please note that this will be our DESIGNATED tactics and way of playing in future:

1. All goalkicks, throws in and or general play will have to be played through the centre midfield.
This means that any defenders or wingers or strikers who has the ball, generally, will PASS to the central midfielders for all general and creative play. The designated CMs are Jinyu and Chengxi respectively. The CMs thus will have to assume their roles during general play by seeking the ball from the other players to start our general play.

The reason why we are enjoying alot of the game during last east coast training is because we have tried this method and it seems to be working. THUS I WILL EMPHASISE STRONGLY ON THIS PLAY! thanks.

2. Defenders: When you guys tackle or clear the balls, either u clear for a throw in and corners OR clear TO the CMs or the wingers. I AM VERY PARTICULAR IN THIS CAUSE THE DEFENDERS ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENCE. thanks.

That's all. I wanna keep our play as simple as possible. NO much individual play and our team must be characterised by SIMPLE PASSING.

I don't expect fringe players (ie. those are not regulars) to receive our tactics and our manner of play but i do expect humbly that the core does. So that we know what to do, especially during moments of pressure.

Individual training:

Let's us brush up on our stamina, simple passing and live out our tactics and general play. Thanks.

End.

Daryl

SoccerRoom - 30 May 07

Hey buddies,

Great battle out there on sunday evening, although we lost in the end, still i think we are great out there. Cheers!

This sunday we will be having a light soccer training, hopefully at Fengshan primary school or something. Time is 9am to 11am. Dont be late!!! haha

What i hope we will be doing is:

1. Train our passing on field context. We will be playing the monkey game.

2. Passing and Crossing longer balls. Two lines and start practising.

3. Shooting. If possible the process will be someone will be standing towards the player with the ball from about 10metres away. The player will be passing to ball to him and the guy will choose any direction to feed the ball. Following which the player will run towards the ball and shoot on one touch.

End.


- We need balls. Preferably at least 5.
- We need cones.
- Im suggestion to make a plastic goalpost to practice shooting. Any comments?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Daryl

Remedies for better memory power?

Research has shown that eating bananas accompanied by a glass of plain water actually results in a chemical effect that allows your brain to have better and improved memory power.

I (Wilson) have yet to try this method out. But according to my lecturer, it sure works for him.. After i got back my mock papers; 20/100 for my marketing and 25/100 for my HRM, it really drives me harder that i should have eaten bananas mixing with plain water before my mock papers. Well...at least its not too late.. I am going to swallow the whole bunch of bananas and drinking a tall glass of plain water weekly with the faith that i would remember all the sociology theories and hrm theorists at the back of my hand..

"Student asked me: Teacher, i have been eating bananas and drinking water all days before my exams..but i still failed. U bluff mi. u say tat it helps...

"Teacher: If eating bananas and drinking water and zero revision makes you get a first class honours degree, then all professors will be monkeys.

Cheers,

Wilson

kitten

s Rob found an abandoned kitten at a carpark near his gf's place on sat nite....... of cos he wouldnt leave it just there, so we decided to pass it to wilson's mum. we were fussing over the little one the whole sunday, trying to keep it warm, got him evaporated milk and then a nursing bottle. initially it was eating but.................... came sunday and monday, its relentless whining and even reject the milk. Haiz

its not easy to raise babies.......... i mean kittens too. we and auntie eventually decided to give little rob to SPCA. We brought it there with heavy hearts....sob sob. first time to SPCA, and i can tell u the sight of homeless pets isnt nice at all. Rob and Wil in the pic...........little rob slpin in the centre (named after robin) Lets pray little rob will not learn the hard facts of life and hit the dirt.....haha got some pics of Fri-nite when i go pick my from form the Sahara at boat quay. first time there, and its not really that nice hahaha. anyway it was fun eventually and of cos introducting wilson, the drunk dude (its not his bday)

P.S most pics are not suitable for children so cant show wahaha

We all change..........................

Dont think i would need to elaborate more rite?

Hows everybody?

CAGE

Yeah, the cage sure was a blast, though a bit on the pocket side too. Never underestimate this warehouse people, its pretty tiring even when we were rotating among 4 teams.

Nevertheless we had fun with our mini-league organised by Wil-res although i am still protesting why we only 4 persons!!! As expected 1 of the 5 men army won, with MVP going to mr kiwi seah for scoring 6 goals that night.

We had some pretty good soccer, although it narrows down to pretty much whether u got the stamina to last the games!

it was nice, having 2 ladies supporters, with one as a auntie bringing mark to play, wahaha :)

Special thanks to Mr Time keeper, CH who enjoys his stint on the bench.

kinda of forgotten many of the highlights, but then again, we will have another session rite? rob?

think i shall be the time keeper next time round, kinda too fragile to be receiving knocks anymore!!!

.......till the next time people......

Munchkins~

Hear Ye~ Hear Ye~


Fella munchki-nerz, haha considering the spare time i have n taking Rob's advice of taking a good break now before starting work. I had the time to run thru the munchkin web & forum. (Which i believe some others munch-natics amongst us had done so way earlier than me.)

I kinda realised we by-passed some rules, or has it become some of our own house rules which we implement on our own?




I had the items circled, but for those with poor eyesight, heres what its writtened.

1) Items to be traded must be those in play, and not on hands. Meaning only items that either equiped or in inventory can then be traded.


2) When a character dies, he has to open his on hands card. N starting with the player of the highest level, everyone draws a card of their choice from the dead player. However dead player retains his existing race, class & loyalty. All other cards are discarded to the stack. (This would be the time i would say, how i wished your dead! Heh~)

3) An extra point to note, the CHEAT card can be very powerful, depending on how it is being used. It can even be used on items to prevent it from being removed by cursed, or even being stolen. e.g, just like the boomerang sword (or wateva its called) which returns to the player on the next turn if its stolen.
However it cannot be used on siutations such as an item requiring 1 hand which grants +1, or +3 if elf. You can gain that +1 bonus by using Cheat to remove the hand status if all ur hands are occupied, however you cannot use cheat to declare yourself as elf and gain a +3 bonus.

Anyway looking forward to any new creation from Alex. Hmm... had this idea from superman... how about a Kryptonite dungeon card? Where any Super-munchkins would loose all class powers on that round of battle, that would render all class eqips useless for that fight? Haha just an idea... maybe we could call it Munchki-nite?

Haha, we will never run out of any debabtable arguments in this game~ Thats what makes it so intresting.

Looking forward to the next round of munchkinz with u fellas. (Maybe can arrange for a day of munchkin marathon after the exams period? Think must intro my girlfriend into the league oso!)

P.S GameMaster (Alex) please help point out if i had anything wrong.

CheeRios~ Mel

Chinese New Year Round Up

Hope everyone has enjoyed the start of this Piggy new year. Well, except for Melvin, who emptied his pockets on Tuesday (haha).
We learnt a new term, "doing a ....Robin" means 1 lose to all for e.g. Although Chun Hua tried imparting to us his strange exotic vocab, nothing really got through to our heads.
First time hear Cx reject drink, wahaha. haha even a first Munchkin session in Mac. (think of it, we past few days always in Mac, pretty scary)

Well, anyway best wishes to everyone,

1) workaholics like LW, Rob, Hong....Jia You woah!!!
2) nerds to be like those studying, wil, cx, ch, kw, xiang, sher etc....Stay DORK!
3) Melvin, update us on ur coming job & i remember someone say dun mind organising BBQ hor???
4) those go fishing one, Catch big big.....HUAT AH!!!

The cage so far.....................

Wonder how our captain, Wil-res has been doing getting the attendance for the cage match. Nevertheless as self proclaimed manager, with no consultation from my coach, Mel Adams, have decided to give you guys a sneak into one of the drafts of my drawing board.

Wee scholes hasn't confirm but has expressed interest since the transfer window is still not closed. I am still awaiting replies from call-ups like Shanten Crouch, Xiang Bradsley, John Marco (who also will double as our team physio).

Rest of you, especially under Ah Fatt club chairman, Cx Madini better refrain from 511 chicken wings till further notice. i am not expecting collapses out there in the cage.

I expect Wil-res to get back to ask regarding the game ASAP, before he gets demoted, UNDERSTAND?

the google takeover................

hi bros, you all shd know by now that google has taken over blogger..................no panic BUT like all takeovers, now we need log in to blogger with a google account.

"THE CAGE"! After much lamenting from Melvin that our outings are much oriented towards the unhealthy side of life; boozing, clubbing and supper. Rob and myself decided to call for a threesome birthday celebration to be held at our playground, the soccer court...kinda of special and HEALTHY of course. Melvin..like what rob says; "Its time for you to get that boots of that hanger!"..This time round for a special cause..for our three birthday babies, rob, cx and marco!

As for the program on that day..tentatively we keep it on the 23rd of Feb Midnight 0000-0200 at the cage, after the match we will be showering there and proceed to the porridge restaurant for our healthy supper. Please give me your feedback via the tags...All are invited!!

"Happy Birthday" and Hesitations.........

Rob and Mel, brought your gfs to watch the show liao? a mild tear jerker show i would say, given that sherlyn can still cry when watching with me, haha (seriously, i can dull the most emotional shows....thats me).

I got the show's eventual plot rather early (not that i smart but you guys should know that sherlyn's brain's left hemisphere isnt the best...heez)

I'm not condeming the show, but was rather surprised at Rene Liu's talent in writting this story, though theres rumours on whether shes really just potraying out herself in the movie.

Toying between fate, insecurities, distance and partnership issues in the movie, yet able to potray it without uneccessary tragedies or drag............a simple master piece. The impeccable combo of the 2 leads prevailed in many of the scenes. Even the backup cast fit nicely into their roles.

Couple of laughs to try subdue the sadness as the show draws to the end.......beautiful movie, neither the deepest thought provoking show nor outstanding in cinematics...........but just simple and 'sweet'

The show centered alot around Rene's hesitations in life, either in dreams or love. i happen to be reading an essay on "how we make life and death decision".......a scottish philosopher said, "Morality is more properly felt than judged of; though this feeling or sentiment is commonly so soft and gentle, that we are apt to confound it with an idea."

Is it better to save starving babies than to keep your dying partner on life support? To buy it now and 'eat grass' the rest of the month? questions we faced once a while though seldom as extreme as the 1st one.

i find myself getting more entrenched into my comfort zone and hesitating to move out of the shell even on morality terms; helping or doing something meaningful.........

well, just some of the thoughts i have while on 225 rushing home to my bed............

Alex

last saturday, mel was stuck at home so this entry is to update him a bit hahaha

You guys know the results so i'm not going to say much, hahaha too bad rob. we caught the game at George(watever) and finished a barrel(sixty bucks, not bad lah). According to Wil, he loves beer and sure wun drop one! (and of cos the cute ger!!!)

the game result got rob pretty much heated up so we decided to go for a rnd of MUNCHKIN!!!
with rob determined to rub off his UL title.


the game results were pretty much clear from the beginning as wil decided to sit in silent prayer with head banging the table. Before finally succumbing and fell to the wandering monsters lurking in Alex's room to Claim the "ULTIMATE LOSER" title. We had a great game with cx still on his good run (of cursed ducks) and i STILL REIGN AS THIEF!!!

okok, the final tribute to our UL..........

FastFood Nation

FAST FOOD NATION



Hi people, its been awhile since ive blogged. Since i recently caught a movie, might as well share it with you peeps. As the topic suggests, the title of the picture is Fast Food Nation. Its certainly no block busters, and its a film my girl and i caught juz to kill time at the mall. I juz briefly read about it on some movie reviews, and to be honest after we bought the tixs, i asked shuxian "Hmm... you think this movie can watch anot?" haha... and we both had this look, expect nothing~ HA!

Without any expectations and thinking i put in my $$$ for some crappy movie, we sat dwn as the shw began. The movie does not boast superb computer graphics, or Hollywood style pyrotechnics, however its full of conversations, boring you say?

The movie draws out the exploitations of mexicians who tries to cross the U.S border to work there. Of course you might ask, how these mex-hi-cos are related to the title of the movie? In the movie it shows how the beef patties are manufactured in industrious proportions, ranches full of cows, and a slaughter house as bloody it can get. The end result = crappy patties. It seems some research has shown that the beef patties contains bull crap, due to improper gutting of the cows. The manager of the fast food chain is sent down to investigate only to find out how the beef patty house operates throught the exploitations of mexicans who were untrained.

My Faveourite Scene: The slaughtering of Cows...lol....seriously... its good, but honestly, during the last few moments of the cow slaughter i swear that i wouldnt eat any beef frm then... ok well at least for that few minutes. Trust me...although it is said these domestic animals are slaughtered in the most "humane" way possible... it will change ur mind on that~

The movie is rated M18, with some mild sexual content and a few minutes of cow slaughtering~

I would say 3 stars to this film~

Do catch this movie if you guys have the spare time, its reali food for thought, haha. Of cos at the end both me and shuxian agreed its a worth watching film~


Gracias my amigos~ Mel
