Manchester United lost to Liverpool

Manchester United lost at Old Trafford to arch rival Liverpool at the weekend showdown hours ago. It was a fabulous match to see both sides showcasing their indominant spirit until Man u scored their only goal of the match ( C.Ronaldo penalty) when Fernando Torres Equalized 5mins after that.

During the entire game, we can see that the defensive line of Man U was constantly being threatened by the incision of Torres and Gerrard that Vidic himself conceded the goal because of his incompetence in defending Torres. Vidic was really stress out after this mistake. It just shows it on his face that he cant handle the lightning pace of Torres. Nightmare came when he was sent off after his timely and skillful tackle on Gerrard that the referee thought otherwise as a bad tackle. All was lost for the Red Devils at this point of the game that 2 more goals came sweeping in into Van Der Sar's almost non-existent goal post. Really disappointed with the Home Team.

Liverpool now close up with the Champions at 61 pts but WE still have ONE game in hand. So there is still a long way to go Liverpoolly. Dont get too yaya papaya after this win.


sorry all for this late post, was really busy the past few days.

KAKA!


This week on People of the week, we bring you a soccer hero whose life was saved by Jesus Christ and in return glorified the Lord's name with his football career. This Football phenomenon starts for Europe's biggest club, AC Milan, and played for his country, Brazil, who was 5 times champion in the World Cup. This player is the best midfielder in the world( in my opinion), Ricardo KAKA.

Kaka is a devoted Evangelical christian who is one since the age of twelve. He started his club career at the age of 8 and from then on, he became the most sort-after player for many clubs in the world.

He always removed his jersey to reveal an "I Belong to Jesus" T-shirt and openly engaged in prayer moments after the final whistle of Brazil's 2002 World Cup, and Milan's 2004 Scudetto and 2007 Champions League triumphs. He also had the same phrase, along with "God Is Faithful," stitched onto the tongues of his boots. During the postmatch celebration following Brazil's 4–1 win overa Argentina in the 2005 FIFA Confederations cup final, he and several of his teammates wore T-shirts that read "Jesus Loves You" in various languages. (quoted from wikipedia)

"I learnt that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not."

We should all look up to Kaka's courage in speaking of his love to God openly. Not that we will remove our t-shirt in school or our workplace, we can at least speak of God's goodness whenever someone asked of our religion. Better still, we should be the testimony of God anywhere anytime:)

School Shooting in Germany


After the shocking news of 3 death cases of students here in Singapore, we turn our eyes now to the World, in Germany this time, when a school became a war zone with a teenager killing 16 people at his formal school. The reason for this killing spree is still unknown as the police are still investigating the suspect who is only an adolescent. It was believed that he killed himself after kidnapping a man at a shopping center carpack.

Such news are not uncommon nowadays as you all can recall the Virginia Tech Massacre where 32 people were killed in 2007 by
Seung-Hui Cho.

My sympathy and condolences are expressed towards the family of those who are killed in this rampage.

Some food for thought: Have you ever hurt your classmate because of something you said in school? If you don't know, a good way to find out is to ask yourself whether the both of you are on talking terms.

Love your neighbour (schoolmates) as yourself and you will feel the difference in school.

Do you want to be the one that 'gives' or rather you like to be the one that 'receives'? is your choice to make.

Movie Review

This week on Movie review, we are bringing you a movie that is All about Love. What does Love means to you? Are you making a mess out of your relationship now? Are you ready to get married with your current partner? Is he/she the right one for you? oh well, this movie tells it all from Love to hate.
Disclaimer: From an adult point of view.


'He's Just Not That into You' is a movie filled with the agony of a Single who is trying to read the other guy's signals and 'moves,' to the heartbreaking tale of a forced marriage that ended in separation. The movie also showcased the troubled lives of unsettled individuals who only wanted to be in the illusion of 'together but not married' status that turn out to be inappropriate at the end when the final solution is still getting married.

The current trend of the dating world, i should say, is more or less described in the movie. Such movies are really great to watch especially when all elements of the human feelings are incorporated in the movie. You will feel the happiness and excitement of a successful relationship to the desperation and sadness of a broken one. I can only say that this movie can never be accurate enough to depict everyone's Love life. Just treat it as an after dinner thing and don't get over zealous after watching. Afterall, everyone will find their true Love one day, just wait and it shall be GIVEN:)

Rating: 3.0 popcorns out of 4 popcorns
negative: dont ever watch
0-1: buy vcd or download
1-2: watch only if you have discount coupons
2-3: worth the time to watch on weekdays only
3-4: buy the dvd and watch with all your friends on weekdays and weekends

Love, save the empty.

Comment about What Love means to you under this post.

To me, I am ALL for ONE LOVE!!

Chilli Crab Spaghetti!!!

The time has come to blog about food:) It makes me so hungry now just by typing in the blog!!! WEEEEE..
Drum roll plssss........
This week's delicacy is a Hybrid Food, combining the freshness of the Caribbean sea with Italy's very own Spaghetto plus the goodness of every spice and herbs.
POOF~~ The Chili Crab Spaghetti!! (Cheering!!!)


I tried this a few weeks back at the Singapore Botanical Garden in a Malay restaurant:
Halia Restaurant & Villa Halia (Website)
(Located in the Ginger Garden) Serves local and western fare in the day and offers a continental menu for night dining. Specially created ginger dishes available.
Opening Hours :
Weekdays : 11 am - 11 pm
Weekends/Public Holidays : 9 am - 11 pm
Tel :6476 6711

The first taste was actually quite special. You can feel the tenderness of the crab meat mingling within the essence of the chili crab sauce as you devour the spaghetti in your mouth. The aftertaste of this dish makes you want to take another bite asap to harmonize the conflict between crab and spaghetti. It is a new savor with such a western and eastern partnership.

I can only say that the dish is worth trying for only once because is way too expensive for a spaghetti and its small portion, $18. For those who are willing to spent this money, i would think that the ambiance of the restaurant in the midst of trees and flowers is quite unique. There are other cuisines there for you to try out too:)

All in all, i grade this dish a 3.5/5.

Ed Is On For Christ!!!


As many of us knew, Edison Chen, a famous Hongkong pop star and fashion icon, arrived in Singapore over the past few weeks under a commercial advertisement for Carls Junior.
His arrival was met with abhorrence and displeasure even though the Sex scandal made headlines around the world more than a year ago.
Yes, he is still unforgivable in the eyes of many people for the actions he had done to some female celebrities.
But guess what, his life is never the same because of a divine and sacred encounter that happened to him. He accepted Jesus Christ as his savior through Jaeson Ma, the young pastor with many campus churches around the world (http://jaesonma.com), and became a Christian.
Edison Chen said in an recent interview here that he had realized what is important in life to him through his experiences this past year. It was not about having fame, having money. It is about the relationship he had with his family and friends and love in all aspects which is most valuable to him now. Since then, he stopped his showbiz career and started to do charity work to prove himself that he was never the same.
As far as i am concern, i hope the society never look at the past of what edison did. Everyone had their mistakes and setbacks and edison had his too. If the world is judging him by what he did in the past, then the yellow ribbon project that wants the society to give ex-convicts a second chance in life is a lie. Criminals and murderers will be disdained for life. However this is not true. Everyone is given a second chance and Edison deserved his too.

We should judge ourselves before we judge others.

Edison's mistakes were indeed a serious and pitiful one. We can never change what he did but we can at least put the issue aside for edison and the celebrities to move on. In fact, the paparazzi must stop the accusation for it to come to a complete stop. Let Bygones be Bygones.
As of now, the future is certain for Edison Chen as his repentance and regretfulness are definitely heard by Jesus and his sins are therefore taken away. This man is is never the same. A Renewed person he is today.

Ephesians 1:7 (NIV)
In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.

NTU Student stabbed Professor


Everyone was shocked by the news that a NTU student stabbed a professor at his back and committed suicide after some dispute over the student's project. This isn't the first time as similar case of campus assault happened at the NUS a few years back. However, this hair-raising incident may leave an indelible mark on those who are friends of this student and the educational body as a whole.

Every student does face a significant amount of stress when it comes to school work. Students nowadays have so many deadlines to meet and worry about that they forget what's happening around them. Studying is definitely important to everyone but we need to be able to handle stress well and not let stress engulfed us till we lose our true self. This is easily said than done but what we need is to ensure that we set our priorities right in studying and not lose heart even if we didn't do well in tests and exams.

Some advice to those who are having difficulties tackling stress:
  • Break down the tasks you have to do into manageable parts, completing one at a time
  • Talk to friends and family about how you’re feeling and coping with your studies
  • eat healthily and have enough rest not forgetting exercising too
  • Don’t put unrealistic pressure on yourself – no one is perfect all of the time
  • Use relaxation techniques, such as taking slow, deep breaths.
  • Praying:)
Finally, dont forget that having fun and going out with friends are also important for a well-balanced student life:)
