Alrite, we all know very well that we were being "played out" last year by that event . Nonetheless, this could well be the LAST I guess... So just a kindly reminder that, for those who are heading down to the stadium tomorrow, do yourself a favour - sing the "MAJULAH SINGAPURA" lound and clear... If you want to have a guide on how to see the national anthem, here's a clip to show you how. HOW TO SING "MAJULAH SINGAPURA"

Look what I found during the tidying of my stuff over the weekend? Two Malaysia Cup-era posters of the Singapore team (it's not right to call them the NATIONAL team when they playing in a domestic competition of another sovereign state)!! Good thing that I didn't dump them away, but honestly speaking I have totally forgotten their existence till the tidy up!! So wasting no effort, I had these two valuable posters laminated and next on the plan - is to trace down each individual and ask them to sign on these poster :) So guys, watch out for me, with these posters and a marker, in coming weeks :P (P.S: Unfortunately, "Russian Tank" Borhan Abu Samah is one I can't get to sign on it...... )

The leading up to and the days that follow after the game against Uzbekistan saw some of my letters being published on the mainstream papers. Urging the fans to turn up at the National Stadium - "Mypaper" - 2nd June 2008 (Well, 28,000 of you, as seen below this line, turned up.. How many responded to my call??) Days later (6th June 2008), another of my letters (below) was published on "TODAY" (dated 6th May). This time round, I voiced my opinion by saying it wasn't fair to "pin-point" the naturalized players only for the defeat. (Unfortunately, the guys at TODAY tweaked my line a little bit and somehow misnterpreted my views.. Sight! ). On the same day on "MyPaper", one honest chap gave his "wake-up" call to we all die-hard supporters (as depicted above). Feeling a lump in my throat, I wrote in again (above, published on 9th June 2008) and "thank him" for his honest view. Writing to the mainstream press can be a daunti...

Really... there's nothing to shame. You guys did yourself a great favour to restore the pride of the team. Nothing to shame about, just bad luck and the Uzbeks simply expoited it. You were so close to savage a draw, but this is one of the games you guys out there should walk away with your heads up. Hope to see you carry on with this great performance when you are back in town for the Saturday game against the Saudis. Well done boys, you made a fool out of the Uzbeks... :)

With deepest sympathy and sadness, we say goodbye to Mr Khairudin Idris , who passed away peacefully this morning in his sleep. Mr Din had been actively involved in the local football scene in the capacity as a match commissioner for the S.League. Ironically, the last time I saw Mr Din was at Choa Chu Kang Stadium on Wednesday. Rest In Peace, Mr Din.
