Pokemon GO Addiction IV

So I was prancing around Copenhagen suburbia minding my own business, caught an innocent-looking Pidgey that evolves into this!!!

Fatherhood Reflections XXVIII - Growing Up Too Fast

The kids are growing up way too fast.

The boy is going to Primary 1 already. He is so mature now, and one of the tallest in his new class. He tells good stories and can have proper discussions about the things he reads in story books, or anywhere else. He plays the piano really well. He's getting his Green belt in Taekwando this weekend. He can swim like a fish, from one breath to the other now. He cares about other people's feelings and he has his own emotional periods. I'm just so proud of this boy.

The girl is heading into K2. She too is quite a piece of work. Very opinionated and vocal, she's very stubborn and headstrong about what she wants to do and to achieve. She is starting to swim well, and will get her Yellow belt in Taekwando. Even her piano is better than mine now. She thinks a lot and she remembers what she hears. So proud of her too.

Loving them always, it is just a joy watching them grow so fast.

Manchester United 1 Arsenal 1

Wow, I so thought we were gonna win this one, only for Arsenal to score at the 89th minute.

Yet again we played really well and I have no complaints. I think Mourinho is the right man for the job.

I think we will be this unlucky all season. So many draws, last minute giving goals away and losing against mediocre teams on counter attacks.

Just need to hunker down and hope we get some luck soon. We will definitely improve now that we're fun to watch.

So while doing a 1/2hr run at the gym in Ho Chi Minh, I decided that I want to make this one of my life goals: to complete a full marathon by the time I turn 40.

Let's see how I progress on this.

The clock starts ticking now.

3 years, 9 months and 6 days more to achieve this.

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam 2016

Another work trip.

Things are developing fast and furious over here.

Can sort of see the incoming US$ investments pouring in with a lot more visibility on US brands. Relations between the US and Vietnam seem have improved a lot since the South China Sea dispute with China.

It also spells better business for us.

Look at all that development across the river! It's shaping up to be akin to Shanghai's 浦西 vs 浦东.

Connor McGregor

One of the best fighters in UFC right now, Conor McGregor just won the UFC Lightwieght Championship.

Amazing KO over Eddie Alvarez. 

But his victory speech took the cake.

"I'd like to take the opportunity to apologize...to absolutely no one!!!"

Hahahahahaha.

Swansea 1 Manchester United 3

Was supposed to blog about this after the match. Ended up being one whole week late.

The first half was fantastic.

Pogba was MOTM for me. Watching his goal from different angles makes it all the more spectacular.

Great to see Zlatan back on the scoreboard. We will need more from where that came from.

Rooney played well by his lowered standards this season but could've been a lot better yet again.

Mata and Carrick are just sublime. Dunno how long they can last though.

Back four wasn't good enough on paper, yet good enough for this poor Swansea team. Very nice to see Phil Jones back, hope he stays injury free for awhile now.

Hopefully we will start on our winning ways after this week's international break.

Onwards and upwards!

GGMU!!!

Struggling To Stay Healthy

In between beers and disjointed meals, trying to throw in a run here and there.

Just passing through.

Lin Zexu Memorial

Yet another 西湖 (there's one in almost every major city).

The old city 古街 (since the Song Dynasty).
