7 Years as United Midfielder, Ji-Sung Park

Park Left

I'm really sad that Park Ji Sung has spurned a new offer and signed for QPR. As the first Asian to play for Man United, he was an inspiration in more ways than one.

Yet a part of me understands his yearn for more regular playing time. He will always have a place in my red heart.

Here's a nicely written tribute to him.

Here's SAF hailing his United contribution.

As Guus Hiddink said,"Now it's time to look to the future. If you look to the past too much then you start to go downhill rapidly."

Rockson Is Back

Not sure if you remember Rockson The Rockstar from back in 2005? That's a long time ago. But the guy's been updating his blog sporadically.

His latest comment on the City Harvest saga is HILARIOUS!

Go read it here!

Full of vulgarities. NSFW!

AAPL: Wasn't Looking Good And Then...

Well AAPL has been going up lately for whatever reason.

Last night, it hit a high of 619.87, scrapping at the heels of my stop loss.

And then suddenly, it plummeted to close around 608!

Wow.

Let's see where it goes further on.

Haha.

Hope this trade has got legs.

Oh, and watch for EURUSD clocking a low. Could be a good time to enter a Long position.

AAPL: Ripe For A Short?

I've never been a big fan of the Apple growth story even though I really like their products. At USD 600/share, it really looks ripe for a short.

With competitors coming in fast and furious (Samsung S3), hardly any new product launches, and improving competitor technology, I think the current market capitalisation doesn't merit the reality in the tech scene we see today.


Last night I had an order to short AAPL at 600. The high of the day came at a whisker of the price at 599.96!

Maybe its a sign but I guess I'll keep the order there for one more day.

Must be the 4th of July rally in the USA!

Euro 2012 Final

I'm sure everyone would have predicted Spain to be there, but Italy?!

The surprise package sneaked past England on penalties during the quarts and then had Mario Balotelli to thank for a 2-1 win over powerhouse Germany in the semis.

Spain themselves haven't really been as formidable as past tournaments, beating the French 2-0 in the quarts and then sneaked past Portugal in the semis.

I still think Spain will win.

2-0 is my prediction tonight!

Singapore U16 4 Vasco Da Gama U16 0

Wow. What an amazing scoreline.

This is the Lion City Cup and our U16 cubs have done something truly outstanding by qualifying for the finals against Ajax.

The started out by beating Ajax 2-1 and drawing with Porto 0-0. Now they have proved their worth by advancing into the finals in emphatic fashion. A thrashing of Vasco.

Adam Swandi and Rashe Rahman. Remember those names. There play better than some of those in the national squad.

What a crop of talented youngster we have!

Read the match report here.

We can only hope that someday, Singapore might indeed produce the talent to make it to the world cup finals.

Wasted IPPT Attempt

Retook my IPPT during reservist hoping to better my previous outing of just the Incentive award.

I couldn't :(

Last time out I missed the Silver award by a mere 1sec of my 2.4km timing.

This time round I clocked 12.01min (Silver standard), but only managed 4 pull-ups instead of the 6 necessary to get a Silver award.

Sigh.

Sad.
