Ok, I will tentatively be leaving Singapore for Austin at the end of July/start of August.
Till then!
That means I would have like 2 months of Singapore time after I ORD. tsk. That's alot of time, come to think of it.

On Soccer - 16th April
Soccer Tactics
Somehow I was persuaded to play soccer at Towkay Toh's (or TT for short) School.
Abovementioned TT even persuaded me to go clubbing on saturday night when I was
to be sleeping at home and be a pious good boy. But I digress. (damn u TT for lying! damn you!)
We all know that I really suck at ball-games, and I absolutely cannot play soccer. Except for Goal-keeper. It was a tough match, since my team had a lousy player, myself. But none the less, through superior tactics and teamwork, we managed to beat TT's team! Let me explain.
Backgound info: It was a four on four match, with 1 goal keeper and 3 players on each side.
It was at TT's school.
Winning Team: Opher, Jeremy, David, Marcus
Losing Team: Ian Toh, Shaun, Junhong, Junhong's bro
ok, and now presenting the winning tactic of "Le nonchalant".
"Le Nonchalant" will only work when there's either
a: a traitor on the opposing team, or
b: a bo-bo shooter on the opposing team.
In this case, it was 'b'. with the bo-bo shooter being TT himself.
When the opponent has the ball, mark and tackle all his players, with the exception of bo-bo shooter, leaving bo-bo shooter unmarked and in a shooting position.
Hint: Even if the opponents know that he's a bo-bo shooter, it doesnt matter. Passing to a unmarked Striker is a sub-consious decision that most people would make. Better still if Opponents don't know that he's a bo-bo shooter.
And ta-dah!
success!
Opponent takes the bait, and passes to bo-bo shooter!
and bo-bo shooter misses, as he's supposed to!
Hurrah, we win 5-4. Hahahaa.. 3 cheers to the victors!
