FAS Called-Up

28 Nov, I was invited to represent FAS (Stunner) team to play a friendly against the Mediacorp All-Star at Jalan Besar Stadium. I was donning the national red jersey with my favourite footballing number, 25, playing against well-known artists like Chen Wencong, Alan Term, Mark Richmond and etc.

We lost 2-4 to the artists team. Although we lost the game, I enjoyed the game a lot. The artists team did impress me with their stamina throughout the game. I always thought that they will be too busy with filming and no time for exercise. Well, they proved me wrong. My team did include 3 ladies too. Particularly there's one young lady, Shiya, who's playing for the National Women Team, impressed me with her "One-Woman-Show" outran 3 opponents and shot straight to the keeper! Immediately she followed up with the rebound and cross in for a header!! Awesome! I just couldn't imagine how a lady can actually play that well in a "mens' game"??

Halfway through the first half, Coach P.N Sivaji (FAS Technical Director) shouted to me at the byline,"Jun! S-League player can't play lah!" For those who don't understand what he meant, he's trying to say that Jun (me) as a former S-League player, shouldn't be playing that game. This is the first time that he actually acknowledged me as a former S-League player, haha! I always thought that I am just one of his reserve boys. Opps!

After the actual game, FAS players played among ourselves so as to fully utilize the world-class playing facility at Jalan Besar Stadium. Right after that, it's dinner time! Overall it's a wonderful experience to be involved in this kind of game. If I'm going to rate my own performance, I'd say 7 out of 10. Three miss points were the lack of fittness to last the entire competitive friendly game; I suffered a cramp in the last 15mins of game but I did endure through the whole game. Not too sure if I'm going to be included in the next game but keep my fingers crossed, I am delighted with the invitation and satisfied with my own performance.

S.League Award 2007

S.League Award Trophies


I've experienced one of those glamour outing mingling with former and present football stars at the S.League Award Presenatation Night 2007 last evening. Supposingly the event was allocated to me but due to my tight schedule, it was re-allocated to another colleague. A blessing in disguise indeed, if not I wouldn't have the opportunity to rub my shoulders with the footballers, as well as mediacorp artists.

Clara and TianXin (FAS)

The night was filled with not just stars of the 21st Century, to me it was a back to the past where I'm watching Malaysia Cup with my dad. Look.. Lim Tonghai is so tall! Sundram's move so swift! Sasawdimata so cool! Samawira so nippy! David Lee so well-bulit! Steven Tan is so pacy! They were the stars then, but last night Alexandar Duric was the one who stole the limelight, bagging 4 awards altogether! I always thought Khairul Amir could give Duric some challenge but apparently Duric was just too awesome.


Albirex Niigata FC Goalkeeper, Takahashi Norio


Albirex Niigata FC Staffs, Kura, Ando and Atsuko


Albirex Niigata FC Midfielder, Shin Hosagai and Fay

Last evening, I managed to catch up with Albirex Niigata FC (ANFC) where I used to have my coaching stint. Due to the formality aspect of this prestigous award presentation, all of ANFC players and staffs dressed up in suit. I personnally prefer to see Atsuko in casual. I think she looks better in casual. Haha..

Hey, I saw Ross last evening too! Gosh.. I bet many didn't know that I like Ross! Haha! I didn't dare to stand by her side last evening cos I find her too tall with the heels, haha!

Musician In The Night

Balaclava

2 glasses of beer were enough to put me up on a roller-coaster ride..

Yap! you got it! I got hell tipsy after the second glass at Balaclava. Mind you, my watch read 6:20pm!

I'm supposed to meet up SpecForce and Amway for an Ops Meeting pertaining to the Amway Rally event which is going to take place next Wed. After just 30mins of discussion, we've got everything straightened out and immediately the session was turned into a drinking session! Of course that's something which I've never expected, especially when I'm still in uniform!

Back in the office, I was feeling to giddy. I rested my head on the desk, trying to make some sense of how I ended up like that. No answer though. However when I think about it, I feel that it does make sense for a job like mine, to do some entertaining. Does that mean drinking??

Mcee

Couldn't believe what I'm going to write here; I was the Mcee for our Aunty Cabell's Solemnization Reception last Sunday!

These days have been real busy and only until Sunday morning itself, I started to memorize my script. In fact, I'm feeling real nervous when I reached the hotel on the day, an hour prior to the kick-off of the reception. Even Joanne noticed my hands started trembling minutes before the thingy commenced.

As a first-timer doing Mcee-ing, I think I did not screw up the function. Jonathan did mention that I should speak more though. Anyway, after the first few speeches, the confidence was gained, I spoke more fluently. * Trying to insert more bass to my vocal though!*

Maybe I should try again next time round. It will be better!

Summary (for the next one to come):

1. Increase the Bass-level on the Mixer (Maybe I can try talking while having an apple in my mouth!)
2. Add a little echo (like normally how I do in Studio and K-Box!)
3. Prepare the speech on paper (Don't force myself to memorize!)
4. Stand near the Sound Console where the staff will give me the "Q" (Do not mis-fire!)
5. Lastly, I should consider spend some bucks on my dressing!! That's normally how Mcee is, right!

Invitation With Appreciation

Appreciation Cert from Child @ Street 11

Innocent children from Child @ Street 11 had their K2 Graduation Ceremony cum Concert at the Theatre yesterday. They are a bunch of hyper-active kids who loves dancing and singing. From what I know, they're a group of children who comes from broken families, but what I've seen yesterday was only a sense of happiness being protrayed by them. Glad that I've contribute something to their graduation ceremony cum concert.

Manhon (Lee) came down to Suntec, passed me his wedding invitation card yesterday late noon. While we're chatting at the lobby, Amos (Boon) from Sengkang happened to by-pass us. Amos and Manhon are great pals though. Wedding invitation cards were passed around and a little catch-up was done in minutes. Well, hopefully my early release request from Reservist can be approved so that I can join in the gathering on 12 Dec.
