killabala

attended killabala at e cage today. other than e wass & gautier from paris, i met lots of local freestylers. street freestyle futbol is still very new to singapore. if you're going to say there are only a handful, lets say probably 20pax of local freestylers around in singapore, today i met 7-8pax of them at e carnival. they were awesome with e tricks. each of them put in 2-3hrs of training time aday to reach their current standard. For a man who's reaching 30s and placing work as his priority, that amount of training time does not work for him - no time sia. i'm glad that i met all of them here but i would bet my last penny that my only practising time would be e time where i'm warming up for a futbol session - that could be those east coast futsal session or once in a blue moon 11-aside sunday game. anyway, my vision and passion for e beautiful game has risen to another higher level. good news for me myself but definitely a bad news for my wifey.

footballers from paris

missing out on a session with sean, e world greatest futbol freestyler last year, this time round god was kind to e young man here and this humble young man was granted his wish of mingling with sean's team, S3 Society - watt (pronounce as what) who was on e right of e pic & gautier (pronounce as go-T-air) on e left of e pic!

e guys speak english and we exchanged some ideas on futbol as well. among e two, gautier seems more approachable as he enlightened me on some of e tricks by showing and correcting me. some of e tricks which were taught to me were so hard but strangely this morning, all e tricks which i've learned from them looked so easy!



getting involved in such occasion was really enjoyable. all e while i am observing e performance which was put in by e french by e side, hell it was so easy for them to execute some ground moves and even tricks in e air! especially when "panna" was done, opps well "panna" is kind of move where futbol players push e ball pass in between opponents' legs, domestically we call it "LOBANG"! in europe, it's actually a big game where 2 players trying to LOBANG each other. nobody cares about scoring but see who can skillfully push e ball pass e legs and that's a win. you guys can catch lots of that in e youtube!

friday is e killabala at e cage, probably i should drop by to enjoy e moment of freestyle. quotation of e day... "do we strictly need to juggle a size-4 ball for freestyling?" asked jun... gautier replied, "not really, if you're confortable with e normal size-5, just go ahead, it's freestyle...frrreeeeeeee......"

cute supporters

great start

with all due respect, i could be e history-maker at mbs! after a series of negative reports on newspaper over e very first conference event, e first trade show which i am coordinating had its debut at e expo hall and amazingly it scored e highest. all eyes were on my event especially after what had happened e week earlier. main organizer had expressed his delight with e straits time claiming e event was an overall success!

im glad that i've come this far to acccomplish this very first successful trade show. e satisfaction after e challenging event was much better than what i've acquired from apec at my former workplace. people look down on us. people are standing by e newspaper to see how we fail at e bay. well, every failure is a lesson learnt. i learned through e hard way for e very first event at mbs and i think i've become a better man!

just one event, i've got to know more friends/colleagues from various departments. as expected, not everyone is as helpful as my former client services team but definitely everyone knows their job. bit by bit, we gonna put everyone together and trust me, we could be one of e best. i am anticipating e best to come, perhaps not anytime soon but i know it will come during my dayz at e bay!

fire fighting

today have been rough. tomorrow will be a brand new day with new experience. gonna wipe off all soots while doing fire-fighting. my confidence is high however i am not able to control e final outcome. rest assured that i will do my best to obtain e unbelieveable honour!
