Saturday 19 September

Went to Expo to fetch dear from work. This time, the mini food fair had already ended, and I was lazy to join the slow and long queue of the John Little fair. Hence I didn't buy anything. :)

We initially agreed to go to Changi Airport to have Popeyes for dinner, but dear suddenly changed her mind and said she wanna go AMK's Sumo House. I was thinking, 'Strange, why would she travel all the way from Expo to AMK and then back to Eunos again?' But I didn't think much about it anyway.

& this is a really pleasant surprise that she came up for my birthday in advance:


I can't believe that she bought such an expensive gift for me. This is my first real soccer jersey of my favourite soccer team in my life. As for the story leading to such a surprise, I shall keep it to just the both of us. :)

I'm really touched. Thank you so much dear. :)

Sunday 20 September


I wore the Man U jersey, and I was delighted wearing it on. & even more proud of my all time favourite soccer team at the end of the match.

I've said before that Darren Fletcher will be a significant figure in United and his two goals and many sublime passing in this match just proved it. The pleasant surprise though, was his goals were all headers.

Ryan Giggs played like a 24 year old on that match instead of 34. You should look at his passing, vision, pace and dribbling skills. Brilliant.

Michael Owen, the super sub, will be an increasingly influential figure in United's squad. Watch him.

The match itself was a pulsating one though. Ben Foster simply sucks and is totally unpredictable. At a moment, he can make a world class save and at another moment, he can make a 'world class blunder'. I'm seriously hoping for Edwin Van der Sar to return from injury asap and Tomasz Kuszczak to replace him as second choice goalkeeper.

Rio Ferdinand has been experiencing a drop in form too. His performance in the past two matches (against Tottenham and Manchester City) has been poor. He made mistakes which a player of his quality shouldn't have made and he must improve on that.

On another note, Carlos Tevez, Gareth Barry, Shay Given, Kolo Toure and Craig Bellamy has played well for Manchester City in the derby match. But technically speaking, out of the three goals that they have scored, two came from United's mistakes.

So all in all, they are still a class below Manchester United and Chelsea, but may be on par with Liverpool and Arsenal.

Monday 21 September

Fetched dear from Expo again. Haha.

We headed to Tian Fu steamboat, somewhere along Tanjong Katong road, with Jasper and Charles.

Initially I thought that it will be awkward to have dinner with dear and her friends as I'm not very close to them. But I don't know why we actually clicked quite well. Haha.

The food was good too! One of the nicer buffets/steamboats that I've eaten. $22 per head. Normally it's between $15 to $20 per head. But since today's a public holiday it's a lil more expensive. No matter what it is certainly worth a try. :)

Thanks dear for inviting me to the dinner. It's a truly enjoyable meal. :)
