Manchester United 0 Liverpool 5

 This is going to haunt us. 

It feels even worse than 1-6 to Man City or Spurs.

Maybe it was the way they sliced us apart so easily.

Maybe it was how poor our defence was that it looked like Sunday league standard.

Maybe it was Ole’s lack of tactics.

Maybe it was our poor run of games where we’ve continued to play so abysmally.

Maybe it was Harry Maguire, the bloody clown who does not deserve to captain our side.

Maybe it was how good Liverpool were.

Maybe it was Mo Salah. And his hat trick.

Maybe it was going 0-4 down at halftime, at Old Trafford.

Maybe it was Pogba’s red just 14mins after coming on as a sub.

Maybe it was Liverpool taking their foot off the pedal by the 60th min,

Really can’t make sense of this loss.

Ole needs to take full responsibility for last night, and the whole of this season being written off.

It is time for him to go.

We will never win any silverware with him at the helm, sadly.

Spurs away next weekend.

Sigh.

GGMU!!!

Saxo APAC Pub Quiz 2021

 Not so much of a famous Saxo part, but still a party nonetheless.

With the pandemic still a thing, even as we try to move to a new normal, we have yet to be able to organize an actual physical party or DnD for the company since early 2020.

The pub quiz format is one where we form teams and compete with one another over Microsoft Teams video conferencing on various online challenges. 

They range from answering tough questions, identifying songs, movies, performing team acts etc.

Here's us successfully forming a heart!



My Regular Jogs To Kembangan

 Here's my regular jogging route.

To Kembangan MRT and back, approximately 5km.

Past the MRT to the start of the overhead bridge across PIE and back, approximately 6km.

Just follow the canal.





The Original Boat Noodle

 Talk about authentic Thai food in Singapore.

We found this really cool place at Changi City Point.

Delicious (a little expensive) and very cool.

Boat noodles are so lovely yet served in such small bowls.

Will definitely go back.






Antigen Rapid Test (ART)

 The ART test is now becoming very normal.

Quick test for the all clear, is better than the PCR test.

The schools require the kids to do it too.

Here's the boy feeling the discomfort in all its glory.

LOL.



First Overseas Trip Of 2021

 Here we go!

Fingers crossed that it doesn't get cancelled or postponed!

Thank you Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs)!!!



Flute Lessons

 Actually managed to persuade the girl to take two trial flute lessons.

After both lessons, she actually liked the teacher and the instrument!

Gonna sign her up properly after this Precaution phase.



Fork & Spoon

 So this opened up in place of the old ThaiPan.

The sambal fried rice was not bad.

Haven't been back ever since though.



Fake News

 There's been a lot of noise made by the anti-vaxxers lately.

This kinda sums it up.



A&W @ Jewel

 Brought the kids for a rare A&W meal at Jewel @ Changi.

I miss these fast food meals.

I miss the root beer float.

I miss the Coney dog.

I miss the curly fries.

I miss Jewel even!





Blast From The Past

 Wow.

My good friend dug out this old picture of us.

I think we were in secondary school already but we primary school mates decided to meet up for a class outing.

So retro, so young, so dangerous, so skinny.

Back then.

Sigh.



The Bedok Market Place

Found this place on one adventurous WFH day with the wifey.

Its so quaint and cool, yet doesn't seem too crowded.

It is the old Bedok Market Place at Simpang Bedok, where it is famous for all the 24hr eateries that we used to go to in the wee hours after a night of clubbing.

Definitely would visit again!






Food Food Food

 We are in the Precaution phase of opening up.

So really, all I can do is post more food pictures.

At least these are some of my all-time favs.

Manchester United 1 Everton 1

 For the second consecutive week, my wifey and kids watch the game at home with me! 

How amazing is that? I don’t remember my wife being remotely interested in watching Man United games  since our dating days, like 10-15 years ago?!

Anyway it made me very happy and proud.

But yet, Man U disappointed yet again!

Just like last weekend, we played with no structure, it wasn’t a team performance, and goodness gracious our defence was shambolic.

Fred is disgustingly poor.

AWB was rotten offensively.

Martial was terrible except for his goal.

It saddens me to have to be upset in front of my wife and kids over such a lousy performance.

This game really can be pinned on OGS failing to shore things up.

If this is how we’ll play all season, we might end up mid table.

Then Ole should really leave.

Hopefully he can turn things around.

GGMU!!!
