Reminiscence…

I took a short break while I was doing some work earlier, and I browsed through my collections of pictures, taken during the time when I was studying at my previous college. It certainly brought back loads of memories, good ones of course. Most of them revolved around my 4 close friends, playing ping pong [...]

What a fitting way to send off one of Arsenal’s greats, Dennis Bergkamp. His testimonial game against Ajax Amsterdam really lived up to the hype that surrounds, barring the first half
The first half was a rather dull affair, with Arsenal fielding their reserves players, as well as a lot of their youngsters. But [...]

A change in the weather?

After days of hot and even hot weather, it rained really heavily on Friday and Saturday. It rained on Sunday too, but not as bad as the one on the previous two days. The downpour on Saturday was the worse out of the three, as tons of trees were uprooted, rooftiles were blown away, and [...]

Bergkamp’s testimonial

Tomorrow will be Dennis Bergkamp’s testimonial match, at the recently opened Emirates Stadium. This will be the last time we get to see the Dutch Master playing for Arsenal. They are showing it on TV, and Im definitely not gonna miss that.

I think it was rejected without giving it a second’s thought. When I heard the news from my supervisor, I was in a semi-panicked state, [...]

Is the haze back?

Im not sure if any of you have noticed, but for the past 2 to 3 days, Ive seen some minor evidence that the haze might be back. Since I live around and near mountain areas, its easy for me to spot these things. And from what Ive see, I reckon the haze is back, [...]

It is revealed

Zidane made an official announcement on French TV late this morning, concerning his actions during the World Cup final. He said that Materazzi insulted his mother and sister, hence the headbutt. He also said that there is a reason why he acted that way, and that was provocation. If he wasnt provoked, why would he [...]

Why is it that the traffic is so damn bad on Tuesdays? I left college at around 5.45pm today, and followed my friend who dropped me off at the train station where I always stop at. The road was so packed, that I only reached the train station at around 6.55pm. Thats like more than [...]
