Arsenal vs Chelsea

Come Monday, we will face a severe test of our credentials as title challengers again as we host a chelsea side who is trying to find their form again.

Ancelotti has claimed that Chelski is recovering back to their best form BASED on just 1 half of football against hotspum. So are they really back?

More worrying for us, Drogba is back on the field and he has been superbly lucky when playing us; scoring goals for fun while our CBs are destroyed one by one by his robust style of playing.
With Vermaelen still out, is Djourou or Squllaci or Kolscieny ready for him?

On our part, is Fabregas ready and focus to play? He has only been partly turn on after his injuries. What about RVP? It has been a long time since he turn on his displays in an Arsenal shirt. And our Russian Torpedo has lost his way completely and we have not seen his trademark sensational plays in the past few months.......

We are at home so I expect us to win. With enough losses already at home, we cannot be slipping up against the next opponent, Chelski or West Sham......

So Come on Gunners!! Pull your socks up and work for the win!
2-1 to the Arsenal!!!GO GUNNERS!!!

Importance of safety

Today, I had a humble lesson in safety.....

My little baby has started to crawling around and pushing things out of the way..... dont know how he did it, but he pushed his way out of the barricades when he laid on our big bed. THUMP!! the sound went... and believe me when i say this, it is a VERY sickening sound to a parent....

my heart was in my mouth as i raced out of the bathroom very naked.... i saw ray on the floor crying like there is no tomorrow.... and its really heart wrenching to see that moment.... it still repeats itself in my mind after so many hours...

Thankfully, through miracles and other whatever prayers, nothing was broken nor injured on my little boy body..... Or else, I would never ever forgive myself.....
i promised myself that he would not be left alone on the big bed ever again.....

Going down with him to the car, I saw a huge dent to my car (ah blue) on the left hand back seat..... dont know what and who did it....... Although the pain is there, somehow i felt fortunate that the damage was done to my car and my baby is ok...

Lesson in life... Safety is always first priority...

Arsenal all the way...

After the last few rounds, it has turned out that it will be Arsenal and Citeh challenging Chelski for the BPL title.

I firmly believe we can do it if we keep our squad fit and healthy.

Arsenal vs WBA

This saturday, we host the newly promoted WBA at the Emirates stadium.

With 3 wins and 2 draws, we sit second in the table while WBA is 10th with 2 wins, 1 draw and a loss.
We are 4 points behind chelski and cannot afford to drop any more points. Moreover, we have to build up a momentum to the match against chelski which will possibly decide the leader by Christmas.
Of key issue is the injuries to RVP, Walcott, Fabregas and Gibbs. Although we have cover for these 3 players, it is of utmost importance that we can all our 1st team players back to full fitness for the long run of the campaign.
With due respect to WBA, as long as they do not park the bus in front of their goalmouth, it is going to be an open game and we are going to play our hearts out!
Expect Chamkah, Nasri and possibly Wilshere to grab the goals as we fight to a 3-0 win!

Go Gunners!!!

My Lasik experience - 5 Aug 2010

On 5 aug 2010, i FINALLY mastered the courage to do something that i procrastinated for years...... i went for my Lasik! :)

the evaluation at Singapore national eye center (SNEC) was just a week earlier and the doctor found me a perfect candidate with thick cornea and not too high 'blindness'. ahahaa... was still hesitant but as fate will have it, there was another candidate 10 years older than me and with astima and lao hua who was also going to do it. He said, " why wait further?" I was inspired.. or rather challenged and felt that i shd just do it. why wait further indeed....

on the day of lasik itself, i was petrified to say the least. I got this problem with eyes stuff lah. never wanted to do anything that may affect my eyes..... but hell, as i was there... not going to back out right? so i endure the kan cheong ness.... and waited for my turn...

within 15 mins of my appointment time, i was urshered into the waiting area of the operating theatres. dripped whatever necessary chemical into my eyes, i was waiting with another patient. She went before me into theatre 1, where they will use laser and cut open a flap in your eyes. She was in and out in a jiffy (5 to 10 mins) and told me happily that it was not painful at all.... i sat with anxiety..... and finally was my turn...

was told to look at green light, red light watever lights and then lying down with my eyes jammed open with a claw, Dr Chan TK operated on my with his laser machine....... zip zip here and there.. and really, i was out in a jiffy....

Round 2.... after the flap is made, the correction must be done in the 2nd theatre... this one took a bit longer.. and there was also the burn smell after they zapped your eyes... I was very tensed and Dr Chan was not able to move my head at all.. hahaaa.. so much for being a brave guy... it took all his experience and all my will power to hold myself in place for the first (right ) eye... the machines did their job after the flap was open. the burnt smell made me wonder if i will ever see again...... but it was fast.. within mins.. it was done..... as they change over to my left eye, i suddenly had a panic attack... first time in my life..was going to scream to ask them to let me go.. then i thgt very pai seh if i do that... so once again, had to muster all my will power to hold myself in place. Claw came, eyeball forced open....flap open.... zap zap zap...... and its done. I am a 6-6 man again!!!!

HAHAA...was a very interesting experience and I am now enjoying the rewards of my bravery. If i may say so, it is really the biggest thing for me in 2010...!! Yeah!!
