Fads in January 07

1. Tonight, the National Stadium at Kallang will host probably her last competitive football match, Singapore vs Thailand….next, reduced to rubbles after 33 years.

2. Singapore swimmer, Joscelin Yeo is quitting competitive swimming. This lady got 40 SEA Games medals under her belt. She always remind me of another Great, Junie Sng.

3. The Beautiful One got trounced at the Australian Open.

4. Michel Platini, the French football legend is the new UEFA president.

5. Indonesia bans sand exports to Singapore. The timing is excellent just as our local construction industry starts to look sunny again.

6. Having body odour might / could hamper one’s job promotion chances.

7. This month seems like Chelsea’s “darkest moments” since Mourinho took over from Ranieri.

8. Trials of the old-NKF and One-Eye Dragon begins…

9. On Day 3 of the old-NKF trial, T T Durai concedes.

10. Korean Superstar, Rain was here for a concert. Tickets range from $188, $488 to $888. I reckon his priciest ticket costs more than Slowhand. He was here too.

11. An Adam Air jetliner vanished without a trace with 102 people on board.

12. Man Utd did not land Owen Hargreaves.

13. David Beckham is off to LA. Goldenballs is off to the Hollywood jetset. A staggering US$250 million 5-year deal. That is a rate of US$125 a minute.
