remembering 2007

to see what happened to me in 2006, click here 2007 was a year of more downs than ups.. it was also the year where - i started supporting the national team more than before - i got a new handphone - i started to play football again - i went to school again - i had my first relationship in quite some time - i had my heart broken - and many more.. 13 Jan 2007 - BTS CCA Open House 07 nothing much to say about the cca open house, because its pretty standard stuff, except for the fact that i have the date and pictures of it so it gets a mention in my 2007 diary. 27 Jan 2007 - Singapore vs Malaysia (1-1, 5-4 on penalties) ASEAN Football Championship 07 Semi-Final 2nd Leg got my new handphone the day before this game. missed the 11-0 thrashing of Laos and the 2-2 draw with Indonesia due to some things which i can't remember, but i can only remember pushing aside some other things to go for the semi-final, more for the fact that it was against Malaysia, and the victory came through a heart-stopping penalty shootout - the first time i've ever seen one at least the Lions take penalties better than England. --- 31 Jan 2007 - Singapore vs Thailand (2-1) ASEAN Football Championship 07 Final 1st Leg beating the Thais was a great feeling. everyone sees them as the rightful Southeast Asian top footballing nation, and beating them was a joy to all who were there, especially after their disgraceful walkout of the pitch in the 85' minute, protesting against a refereeing decision. nevertheless they came back and we finished them off. January 2007 In A Glance (Dates I can't remember) my Play-Asia package of Ultra Goodness arrived in late January. Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman Brothers.. the BEST tokusatsu movie i've ever seen. 5 Feb 2007 - Lions Return From Bangkok met up with Gan at the airport to welcome the Lions home. brought the poster they gave out during the Malaysia game and got it signed by everyone except Raddy and Itimi. 10 Feb 2007 - Victory Celebration @ Vivocity here, i managed to get Raddy's john hancock onto my poster, and Itimi was missing once again! never mind, at least i had taken pictures with Lionel, Indra, Jiayi, Precious, Mani, Raddy and most importantly - the ASEAN Cup! first trophy i've touched since the Carling Premier League trophy way back in 1997. 14 Feb 2007 - Kyuukyoku Gougou Gattai! Ultimate Daibouken! last year we left off with me having completed the basic Daibouken set.. few months and $35 later, i got myself a Gougou Jet since for some weird reason the shop downstairs seemed to have one. 18 Feb 2007 - Chinese New Year took this picture on the road while going around visiting. 20 Feb 2007 - Jace Comes To Singapore Jace came down here from KL for chinese new year and thankfully she could make time to meet up with us. showed her around town 22 Feb 2007 - Kinkyu Gougou Gattai, Siren Builder! just only about a week after i completed Ultimate Daibouken, for a wonderful $50 offer, i got Siren Builder! however this would be the last mecha i would buy, since i never got Zuban and Daivoyager. February 2007 In A Glance actually nothing much to say about February, since it pretty much was picture-filled. 10-11 Mar 2007 - BTS NPCC Sec 1 Camp nothing much to say about the sec 1 camp, routine stuff once again. 13 Mar 2007 - Area 10 HRC i seldom have any pictures taken during HRC so that was a nice surprise. to find myself in one of them pictures up there. and stayed over at campsite the previous night with Irfan, Aaron and Hui San. 15 Mar 2007 - Area 12 HRC not much about this day but let me talk about the Gurkhas for a moment. they are known to be fearless, respectable warriors. but i never knew they could be so warm, friendly and accomodating. 24 Mar 2007 - Area 16 HRC alright, the day i nearly died! click on the link above to read more about it. who's in the picture? Back: Shachin, Farith, Jeremy's (Nemo) shirt and pants Front: Aaron, Yik Nian, Jamie, Christina, me, Jeffrey 31 Mar 2007 - My birthday & Area 17 HRC went for HRC in the morning. nothing much to say except thanks to the group of Unity Sec NCOs who sang birthday song for me. at night went out with the tokuAsia gang. Jace was in town once again, this time for the Phantom of the Opera, March 2007 In A Glance I met my primary school buddy Salim again, after he returned from his studies in Australia. 19 Apr 2007 - Speech Day Final Full Dress Rehearsal went to temple in the morning then to bedok town in the afternoon for the full dress rehearsal. what can i say about the weather, it was DAMN DAMN HOT. all eyes were on NPCC though since the rest of the school has not seen a No.1 uniform for so long. 21 Apr 2007 - Speech Day Parade/NPCC Day Parade my one singular day of pride in the entire 2007. it was a wonderful, perfectly executed parade without any major cock-ups. it also marks the day i started to tone down my involvement in NPCC. and.. where are the videos, damn! went to help out at NPCC Day Parade later in the evening.. and saw only Christina there!! April 2007 In A Glance nothing much happened in april except the speech day parade. lor. 3 May 2007 - Perfect, Just Perfect we came back from a 3-2 deficit to beat Manchester United 3-0 at the San Siro. never in my life have i seen such perfect football. this is just the way everyone wishes they could play like. goals from Kaka, Seedorf and Gilardino coupled with excellent play from the entire team, especially Gattuso, totally destroyed Manchester United. on to Athens we go... towards our revenge. 19 May 2007 - SPF-NPCC Badge Ceremony went because Dominic said he needed helpers. disappointed though, Fadzri wasn't there.. hahaha. no headbanging. this was the day where Weiyi bought her acoustic guitar as well. on another note, Alessandro Costacurta retired in our final league game against Udinese, where we lost 3-2 at home. 23 May 2007 - Champions Of Europe For The 7th Time! these immortal words, i will remember for the rest of my life. it was a move which began when Kaka stole the ball and passed it to Oddo. "Massimo Oddo... Kaka.... Ambrosini... Liverpool need the ball.. It's Kaka who has it, he's slipped it in, it's Pippo Inzaghi he's ROUND THE KEEPER... AND HE HAS WON THE EUROPEAN CUP FOR MILAN!" and immediately after the final whistle.. "Revenge is sweet, Milan have made up for Istanbul, Athens belongs to them. The 2007 Champions of Europe are A.C. Milan. Not even Liverpool can match their record in this competition, not even Rafa Benetiz could stop them tonight. Milan are the masters again. They've answered all the questions, too old, too slow, too scarred by the events of the last year. Not a bit of it. This was the last charade for one or two of these venerable veterans they have gone out in the style you would expect of Milan. Champions of Europe for the 7th time." tears will always well up in my eyes when i hear these words. 25-27 May 2007 - Daredevil Camp nothing much to say about Daredevil camp.. another routine thing.. this year we went to Bukit Timah Hill for hiking again, just like previous years, except for last year when we went to Sentosa. May 2007 In A Glance - we won the Champions League - Billy Costacurta retired at the age of 41. 30 Jun 2007 - Singapore vs Australia (0-3) Field of Dreams we put up a fight against the Aussies, who didn't seem as a good as they sounded. to hell with the *FC Singapore fan club.. fancy cheering on for your club's player when your country is playing against his country. looking back, this was a special day because it was the first day i met you. June 2007 In A Glance nothing much to say about June because it was mainly a month where i decided to go to school again, so was just going around looking for a course i could take. - bandzout audition, and we got into the finals, thankfully. - click here to read lyrics i wrote in 2005, which i dug out in June 13 Jul 2007 - Bandzout 2007! just read the old post and you'll understand what Bandzout 2007 was all about =) 16 Jul 2007 - Back To School this was the first day of school for me, in MDIS. so far it's been pretty fun, and i don't skip classes the way i did when i was in Ngee Ann. 25 Jul 2007 - My First Milan Jersey bought my first ever Milan jersey for S$99, about a week before Uniti Dalia Maglia (United By The Shirt), an annual event where the Milan Home jersey is officially unveiled. July 2007 In A Glance the beginning of DMCD1 0742A. met really great people in the class, fellars like aloy, mahmud, darrell, eddie, diego, nigel, renzi, liang, and gals like xinni, kayee, veronica, weiyi, blah blah, the list goes on.. 9 Aug 2007 - KRFC The First the first ever time KallangRoar members came together for a kickabout. could be deemed the first ever KallangRoar Football Club training. 22 Aug 2007 - Paolo Maldini nothing happened on this date, except that i decided to talk about a very special inspiration to myself - Paolo Maldini. click on the link to find out more. there's absolutely no way you could have a Milan dream team without Paolo Maldini. 30 Aug 2007 - Teachers' Day 2007 Unbelievable. just unbelievable. i'm 2 years out from secondary school already. 31 Aug 2007 - Remembering PUERTA A.C. Milan vs Sevilla (3-1) UEFA Super Cup Final it was a night remembering Antonio Puerta of Sevilla FC, who had died days earlier after collapsing in a La Liga match. every player wore a shirt bearing his name, and when Kaka scored the penalty, he dedicated the goal to the young Puerta. we won the trophy eventually, but we won it in honour of Antonio. RIP. August 2007 In A Glance August brought nothing much to scream about, except for National Day. Forza Singapore! 1 Sep 2007 - KRFC The Next the first time we have the basic makeup of the squad attending. KRFC was beginning to grow. yeah well, great job guys. 28 Sep 2007 - NPCC Officers' Day Dinner & Awards Presentation Ceremony a special day for the unseen vacancies. today we played in Traders' Hotel, unlike last year's event at Suntec. and today we also did an acoustic set instead of the usual full band, also, it was the first time we could have that feeling of being 'on tour' as we practised in a hotel room. heh, after the event, we walked down Tanglin towards Orchard, in a really cool fashion. September 2007 In A Glance besides the above events, nothing much happened in september, except for school, and a few rounds of jamming, and i think, a whole lot of economics headaches. on 17 september, i got attached. 10 Oct 2007 - KRFC Jerseys! one thing i really love about my jersey is.. it's my jersey from my team. not Kaka's jersey from A.C. Milan or Alam Shah's jersey from the NT. it's the only jersey i can proudly wear and call mine for real. 26 Oct 2007 - My Predators got my adidas predator boots on this day. hahaha. i'm a real sucker for predators. later on had dinner at bugis' spanking new food court with some tokuAsia and KR peeps. 27 Oct 2007 - KRFC vs DHS 2002 (2-7) first ever game for KRFC, and we lost. but it's okay. at least we know where our mistakes are. it was really hot as well. October 2007 In A Glance except for the few events above, i watched Miami Vice for the entire month. 5-12 Nov 2007 - A Tiring Week what happened this week? - shop for clothes - NPCC meeting - buy WCQ tickets - NPCC again - WCQ vs Tajikistan - KRFC Training 20 Nov 2007 - Welcoming The Lions Home we drew with Tajikistan 1-1 away, so it means we go through to the 3rd round 3-1 on aggregate. went to the airport with ah min, Frankie and Faris 23 Nov 2007 - S-League Awards went with ah min to cover the event, thanks to Adi. we had a really great time, and Aleksandar Duric was real nice! many thanks to Hairul as well. 24 Nov 2007 - tokuAsia's 2nd Anniversary Buffet click the link above to see a long paragraph written by Meng Yeow, about the happenings in tokuAsia for the past 2 years and beyond. 25 Nov 2007 - Tampines Rovers vs SAFFC (3-4) RHB Singapore Cup Final 2007 went with the KallangRoar people. met up with ah min early to buy tickets for the rest. it was a goal-fest which ended in Alam Shah lashing out at Bennett for reasons which have not been divulged publicly until now. later on we went to Pasir Ris for supper, and took 17 back. November 2007 In A Glance whatever happened in november is pretty much up there. school began on 19 November, and i broke up soon after. 2 Dec 2007 - KRFC Training as you can see above, Leon is sharing his words of wisdom with everybody else, and it was a pretty well-attended training. everybody wanted to play for the next game!! 7 Dec 2007 - Terminal 3 + YES Camp hahaha! our terminal 3 visit was a real wacky one. judging from the amount of pictures we took, it really exhausted the and later in the evening was 'work', where we visited Geylang United's Young Eagles Soccer (YES) Camp to write a report on it. all thanks to Mr Koh Mui Tee. 9 Dec 2007 - KRFC vs Team Dynamo (3-2) our first victory! thanks to goals from Benny, Illyas and Khyrul, we secured our very first victory as a team. 14 Dec 2007 - Vietnam vs Singapore (0-5) 2007 SEA Games Bronze Medal Match what i've got to say is all in the link above. 15 Dec 2007 - 31st HOBTC HRC + HRC Retreat + Team Singapore Returns went for HOBTC HRC in the day, and stayed around till about 6 for the retreat, then rushed home to bathe and change and to head to airport to meet Xiaoyun. we were going to try reporting on the return of Team Singapore from the SEA Games. alas, we failed. 16 Dec 2007 - Champions Of The World! it was yet another round of sweet revenge, as we beat Boca Juniors 4-2 to claim the Club World Cup trophy and make it rightfully ours, at least till next december. 24 Dec 2007 - A Sad Christmas Eve went out with her. had kind of a great evening, some moments had the right allure, the right ambience, but i just didn't manage to do it. and when i finally managed to, i got rejected.. heartbroken once again =( 25 Dec 2007 - Henshin!

December 2007 In A Glance had some great times, but had my heart broken towards the end. never mind though, cause i'll be working harder next time. and so ends my entire year 2007, in quite a long read, with nothing much to shout or scream about, except for the fact that i may look forward to 2008 in a few hours time. only about 9 and a half hours left in 2007... tonight i will be heading to Bras Basah for the midnight fireworks, to welcome 2008 - hopefully a better year for me and for everyone else. these are my plans for 2008, with the bolded ones on top of the rest. 1. cut down on vulgarities 2. settle down in a steady long-term relationship 3. score at least 15 goals in 2008. 4. settle assignments by first week of January 5. go to every Singapore national team home game 6. complete at least 2 fanfic series and 1 movie. 7. finish at least 5 songs for my band

fly to the angels

title comes from the song i'm listening to (Fly To The Angels by Slaughter) as i type the entry. no idea what to put so just put that lor. now you gotta fly... fly to the angels heaven awaits your heart and flowers bloom in your name you've got to fly... fly to the angels all the stars at night shine in your name haiz. played badly in the ah ho match earlier, thanks to the burning weather, except for a magical final 15 minutes where i managed to make a few good passes and according to the rest, a well executed Kaka-style skill from adi's header. that moment was really. damn. magical. i've never been able to get pass defenders easily. but from the moment adi headed away the corner and the ball rolled to my feet, i knew it was going to be it. i collected the ball and turned around, and saw a defender in front of me and zainal beyond him. benny was shouting for me to push up, and (i can't remember what happened here), then got past the defender, and passed the ball up to zainal just as i saw the same defender get up and try to slide the ball away from me. but unfortunately we didn't get to convert that chance into a scoring opportunity as they lost the ball soon after. brimming with my newfound confidence, zainal should have returned the ball to me and let me try go all the way, but i guess i didn't push up too much myself after i passed the ball. it isn't anyone's fault though. we are a team and we all have to make our own individual decisions while out there on the field. that's it, everyone seemed amazed for that one short moment. Babá's magic had manifested..but for only one minute. *makes note... *Need to work on post-ball movement* hopefully there's a video of that moment so i can watch it over and over again, cos till now i still can't remember what happened in full. but i doubt there is one. never mind. after that there was a funny move by leon. he could actually pass to me but he was trying very hard to accomplish his target of doing stepovers in a match. can't blame him, i also didn't get what i wanted - to score today. never mind. i hope i will score against Jingga on 12 Jan, and also MUSG on 3 Feb. my target for next year is 15 goals. despite my poor first half performance, i managed to keep my mind clear for the entire game. at least i knew i wasn't going to let my performance be affected by what happened the other day. =( went to century square's new york pizza. ordered a No.1 super triangle, mozarella and tomato sauce into one large slice of pizza. halfway through the meal my dad kept sms-ing me. then he called and asked about the dvd. damn it, then got into a heated quarrel. after i cut him off, my mum called me and asked me what happened. that's when i really lost it. blew my entire head over while trying to explain it to her. probably was about 40 degrees when i was shouting down the phone. i'm never gonna do this on the pitch. and only yesterday i told myself i would cut down on saying vulgarities, i guess i really can't control it properly. so i'll fine myself $1 for each vulgarity spoken. somebody please remind me to donate $50 to charity soon. after that i totally lost my mind. what the hell. i was feeling both sad and angry with myself at the same time. i don't usually flare up until like that.. what's becoming of me? =( when we were going from century to tampines mall, i saw a guy without his lower arms begging for money by trying to (but failing to) entertain people. i suddenly remembered that ms tricia ang (social behavioural studies lecturer) had mentioned him before. then it struck me that this fellar is probably a billion times worse than me. so i gave the guy $2. it's not a lot, but i hope it helps him. maybe next time when i see him i will give him more. wonder what caused him to lose his arms =\ seriously speaking if i had no arms i would commit suicide. so believe me when i say, i really respect this guy's willingness to carry on no matter what the odds are. lastly, i walked home from tampines. why did i do it? let's say i was damn hot in the head and i needed to cool down. the walk took me about 1 hour. and the worst thing is it rained and i got drenched from head to toe. but never mind, at least the rain helped me to cool down. literally. after saying so much.. i want to say sorry to number 9 for going mad outside new york pizza. did i shock or scare you? =( haiz, i KNOW this is going to affect your perception of me, though i hope it will change. i'm not like that unless i'm really angry, which i manage to control most of the time.. haiz.. =( P.S. ah shit forgot to buy guitar strings.. sian

...

a post without a title. it's time to go to school. and i feel so sleepy. can't get enough sleep these days. ...

from now on..

... i will limit using vulgarities to MSN and SMS only. P.S. are you avoiding me? sure as hell hope you aren't.. =\

burn for you

I got myself into some trouble tonight Guess I'm just feeling blue It's been so long since I've seen your face This distance between me and you That voice you showed me is not the one I know I must be strung out on what I do Don't hang up again There's nothing else I know how to do But I burn for you What am I gonna do I burn for you I guess it feels like you're always alone And I feel that way too It's so hard to explain to you Please understand what I do I burn for you What am I gonna do I burn for you Burn for you Took my trouble to a bar tonight For another point of view But there's nothing new I'm missing you I burn for you What am I gonna do I burn for you Burn for you oh I burn for you What am i gonna do I burn for you Burn for you What am i gonna do I burn for you Burn for you Burn for you...

derby della madonnina

we are the world champions. the best club in the world, after beating boca juniors 4-2 in the FIFA club world cup final 2007 in Japan. but now we must return to reality - to the Serie A. the day of the derby has arrived. once again. but for the first time in the 2007/2008 season. this year's derby will be different from others, for there are many things you will and will not get to see. what you will not see: both the curva sud and the curva nord ultras have come together to protest against the enhanced anti-hooliganism laws. the new laws are enforcing a clampdown on organised groups of travelling away supporters. tonight, ultras on both curvas will be silent, and will refuse to display the chereographed signs and banners which are a hallmark of the Milan derby. you won't see il fenomeno tonight as he is back in Brazil to recuperate following his injury. get well soon R99! who will shine tonight: Kaká a.k.a. ricardo izecson dos santos leite FIFA World Player of the Year 2007 Ballon d'Or winner 2007 (European Footballer of the Year) UEFA Club Footballer of the Year 2007 UEFA Champions League Best Forward 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League Top Scorer 2006/2007 FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball 2007 FIFPro World Player of the Year 2007 with all these awards under his belt, nobody should doubt kaka's (22) ability to beat inter on his own. everybody will be watching the 25-year old brazillian, and expecting him to score or make a match-winning assist tonight. alberto gilardino (11) has developed a habit of scoring braces everytime he manages to hit the net. the only time he didn't record a brace this season was when he scored the equaliser against Cagliari. will he score tonight? though he wore Inter colours for two seasons, andrea pirlo (21) became a world cup winner and two-time champions league and uefa super cup winner all while wearing the Milan shirt. quiet but possessing excellent vision and control of the Milan game, will dictate the pace of the Milan attack. the big question mark: gennaro gattuso (8) picked up a knock against Boca Juniors in the club world cup final and is an injury doubt for the derby, however he has been included in the squad list for the game. the Milanese midfield general will make way for cristian brocchi (32) if he does not play tonight. injury list inter - stankovic, dacourt, figo, vieira milan - ronaldo, gattuso? statistics form guide: 1. Inter - WWWWW | P16 W12 D4 L0 Pts40) 12. Milan - LWDWD | P13 W4 D6 L3 Pts18) last season: milan 3 (seedorf 50', gilardino 76', kaka 91') inter 4 (crespo 17', stankovic 22', ibrahimovic 47', materazzi 69') inter 2 (cruz 55', ibrahimovic 75') milan 1 (ronaldo 40')

vietnam 0 singapore 5

how incredibly morale boosting for the Lions U23 when they beat vietnam 5-0 to clinch their first ever SEA Games medal since 1995. having already managing to narrowly beat vietnam 3-2 in a game in which they only scored 1 goal (the vietnamese scored 2 own goals), and losing to thailand 3-0 in the semi-final, many were expecting the Lions to fumble in this round. but that was not the case as shahril ishak opened the scoring and fazrul nawaz sent home a beautiful acrobatic tap in to make it 2-0 before the break. in the second half, shahril went one on one with the keeper and tipped the ball away for fazrul to nab his brace with a smasher into the bottom left corner of the net. soon after, fazrul latched onto a ridhuan cross and smacked the ball right into the top of the net for his hat-trick, silencing all his critics after that horrendous penalty miss against malaysia. agu casmir recorded his second and singapore's fifth with a powerful shot thanks to juma'at jantan's flick on pass. well done to singapore for dominating the game. unfortunately we couldn't beat malaysia otherwise we could have avoided thailand in the semis, but to qualify for the semi-finals after so long and to bring back at least the bronze medal is already a huge achievement for the U23.

love to be loved by you

what an excellent song by Marc Terenzi. the thing's been in my head for about a week now. it's the song you hear playing here on my blog. I can't believe I'm standing here Been waiting for so many years and Today I found the Queen to reign my heart You changed my live so patiently And turned it into something good and real I feel just like I felt in all my dreams There are questions hard to answer Can't you see [Chorus:] Baby, tell me how can I tell you That I love you more than life Show me how can I show you That I'm blinded by your light When you touch me I can touch you To find out the dream is true I love to be loved by you Your looking kind of scared right now Your waiting for the wedding vows but I don't know if my tongue's able to talk Your beauty is just blinding me Like sunbeams on a summer stream and I gotta close my eyes to protect me Can you take my hand and lead me from here please, yeah [Chorus:] Baby, tell me how can I tell you That I love you more than life Show me how can I show you That I'm blinded by your light When you touch me I can touch you To find out the dream is true I love to be loved, I need to be loved I love to be loved by you I know they gonna say our loves not strong enough to last forever And I know they gonna say that we'll give up because of any weather But how can they understand that our love is just heaven sent We keep on going on and on cause this is where we both belong [Chorus:] Baby, tell me how can I tell you That I love you more than life Show me how can I show you That I'm blinded by your light When you touch me I can touch you To find out the dream is true I love to be loved, I need, yes I need to be loved I love to be loved by you Yes I love to be loved by you

so many events...

so many things have happened since before i last blogged. these are the events i've been attending since 23 nov 2007. NTUC Income Yeo's S-League Awards Night 2007 23 November 2007 fantastic night. won't say much though. all i have to say has already been logged by ah yun for the newsletter interview. Step into the media balcony Me and Ann Kok Me and ah min with 'Uncle' Duric! tokuAsia 2nd Anniversary Lunch Buffet @ Rio Vista Condominium 24 November 2007 great day. never did i imagine tokuAsia would be the way it is right now. congrats guys, all who have worked for the forum. and yimian totally owned himself. the video is on YouTube if you wanna search for it. The four founders of TPC Studios. Meng Yeow's article from the frontpage at tokuAsia.com Quoted from Basil: “Time has gotch wings.” Yeap! How time flies. It looks like it was only yesterday (just exaggerating) when #TPC started out humbly with less then 10 members in mIRC 7 years back. The surviving members of that channel are now the heads of the tokuAsian community. Namely, Basil, Gareth and Jiahua, and lastly myself. Back then, we were only a small group of people who liked Tokusatsu and fan fiction writing, and chatting in the mIRC channel. One year later saw a MSN group called TPC Studios created for our fan fictions. After that, Basil and I joined the popular Japan Hero Access forums and posted our fan fictions there. We got to know a bunch of great dudes there like Sephiroth, Scotty, Ninjan, scikaiju, the second, Rider Zero and many many more, who are now also part of the tokuAsian community. Thanks to them for supporting us! I have to admit that 2007 was a slow year though, for tokuAsia as many members were either involved in their major exams or working. But I thought everything was still great. The movie posters that Huang did, the cool Kamen Rider Gattack vs DekaBreak mini videos that was produced by Van and such. The end of 2007, however proves to be a busy period for us, as we are not only busy with the preparation of the buffet that will be on the 24th of November. After the buffet, there will be the Miyauchi Awards 07, held for the first time at tokuAsia. This, I believe, has to be one of the largest forum events in the online Tokusatsu forums, and tokuAsia is proud to be able to host the event this year. The awards this year, will not be an event with nothing. Our forum resident ultra kenn is now in the process of designing small avatars for winners of the awards. These avatars, will be ‘presented to the winner of each award’ in the forum. The winner can put the avatar as one of his/her signatures at tokuAsia or at other forums that he/she is active in. December will be another busy month for the local members, as there will be a X’mas gathering, and a New Year Eve Countdown outing on 31st December. And of course, the Miyauchi Awards 07 will be held in December too. Quote from Basil again: “When u see a forum grow for 2 years, its hard work and nothing else.” Now that we are into our second year, I believe we can go on for many more years as I believe in the residents of tokuAsia. Happy 2nd Anniversary tokuAsia!!! Rock on! tokuAsians!!! Fujimiya Owner of tokuAsia 16 November 2007 Well done tokuAsia! RHB Singapore Cup Final - Tampines Rovers 3 SAFFC 4 25 November 2007 a high scoring match which ended in a terrible fashion. shall not say much, as if you've been reading the news you'd know that Alam Shah got himself into deep s***. seriously hope that everybody forgives him. one funny thing about the game is that the SAFFC players entered the game without their names on their jerseys, but in the second half they all had their names printed on. Tampines played in nameless jerseys for the entire game. Can you spot the KR.com gang? 'Uncle' Duric with the Singapore Cup trophy! after the game, went to pasir ris to eat MAC with ah min, leon, his gf and zhen ming. took the so-called last bus 17 home, and made a dumb error which ended up in me reaching home earlier than i expected. Aftermath after that day, did nothing much except go to school everyday. went to watch Doraemon: Nobita no Kyouryuu with ah min and leon at Cathay last Wednesday, and watched ENCHANTED with ah min and ah yun yesterday at PS. Enchanted will probably be amongst my top 5 movies of 2007, probably in second place behind TF. the song from the King & Queen's Ball in Enchanted is called So Close by Jon McLaughlin. A real touching scene. You’re in my arms And all the world is calm The music playing on for only two So close together And when I’m with you So close to feeling alive A life goes by Romantic dreams will stop So I bid mine goodbye and never knew So close was waiting, waiting here with you And now forever I know All that I wanted to hold you So close So close to reaching that famous happy end Almost believing this was not pretend And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come So far we are so close How could I face the faceless days If I should lose you now? We’re so close To reaching that famous happy end And almost believing this was not pretend Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are So close So close And still so far
