Adios Zokora From Tottenham Official Site: We have reached agreement for the transfer of Didier Zokora to Sevilla. The Ivory Coast international joined us from St Etienne in July 2006 and went on to make 134 appearances for the Club including being part of the League Cup winning side of 2008. We thank Didier for his contribution and wish him every success for the future. Thanks for all the memories. Despite not scoring a single goal while playing for Tottenham, but your character & work-rate was top-notch. Now go score a debut goal for Sevilla. Wimbledon Final: Federer vs Roddick And I thought there would never be a Wimbledon Final that is as nail-biting as last year’s Federer-Nadal. 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 16-14. 4 hours & 17 mins of incredible Tennis. 50 Aces for Federer. Roddick never lost his serve, until the last point. Congrats to the Fed Express for winning Wimbledon 2009, & his 15th Grand Slam title, and the most EVER in history.

Commercials for Fantasy Football Man, I wished English Premier League have such commercials during the time when I was still active in Fantasy Soccer. “Bermuda Triangle” in New York? Watching “The Triangle” in the “CSI:NY” series, the “Bermuda Triangle of New York” caught my interest. It seems like this is really happening in New York, though reports have yet to confirm whether the Empire State Building was indeed the “culprit”. From FOX News: NEW YORK — It’s been dubbed the “Empire State Building Effect.” And now questions are being raised as to whether the famous skyscraper may really be Manhattan’s version of the Bermuda Triangle. Every day about 10-15 cars and trucks simply stop working within a 5-block radius of the 102-story building, according to a report in the New York Daily News. In one recent incident, a person said he had to lock his vehicle manually because the keyless remote-controlled lock was disabled. He came back to find he was locked out and had to call a car service which used a crowbar to get the door open, the Daily News writes. The alleged “effect” dissipates rapidly as you move away from the building. “You pull the car four or five blocks to the west or east and the car starts right up,” says Isaac Leviev, manager of Citywide Towing, in the Daily News report. According to the Daily News, some engineers and automobile experts hypothesize that radio signals from the Empire State Building’s 203-foot-long, antenna-laden spire is at the root of the problem. However, the FCC says it has not received any complaints and Empire State Building officials have shot down the claims. CSI:NY is starting to grow on me, making it joint-favorite with CSI:Las Vegas. (CSI:Miami is way too showy for me.) Knowing what’s gonna happen in CSI:NY, I can’t wait for 7 more episodes…:) The Clippers Curse So, Blake Griffen got drafted as the #1 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, which wasn’t much of a surprise, since the LA Clippers have already decided quite some time ago. As expected, Clippers’ season-ticket holder, Bill Simmons aka The Sports Guy, wrote an open letter to Blake, telling him about the Clippers Curse. They were even rated as “The Worst Sporting Franchise EVER” by ESPN. Perhaps their luck will turn around soon with this new guy….let’s just hope he doesn’t blow his ACL 4 months in the season. Nothing feels more loving… …than to wake up from a bad gastric flu, and to find that your dearie has cooked a nice bowl of soupy dinner for you to eat. Thanks dear. Muacks. Caught on TV: Ice-Cream Lad Spotted at the Italy – Brazil match in the Confederations Cup in South Africa was a little boy eating ice-cream. What’s so special about it? And there’s his 15 minutes of fame. Bravo. Finally…Some Transfer News from Tottenham? According to Harry Hotspurs & a Spurs ITK forum, Tottenham will be selling Captain Robbie Keane to Sunderland. Really? I thought Robbie Keane was still with Liverpool. When did Spurs signed him back? Of course, nothing is confirmed till the official word is out. Meanwhile, let’s sit back, and let the rumors fly… Do You Know Your BMI? Most of us during our school days were drilled with the fact that 1 should keep their BMI at a healthy range, and the formula to calculate it is: Image from HPB However, I never fully found it to be a reliable indicator, since those with muscular builds have high BMI due to having low % of fat. (Note: Please do not use the commonly-mistaken phrase “Muscles Weigh More Than Fats“…) The Same Difference After years of procrastination, with the “new” BMI Revisions, I’ve decided to re-calculate my BMI for the 1st time in a decade… …and my score is 24. In the Moderate Risk range. *GULP* Guess I MUST reduce my BMI by: 1) Grow taller with another puberty spurt OR 2) Exercise & watch my diet. So, have you calculate your BMI yet? Back…for now The reason why I’m MIA for so long, is due to Plurk. When one can easily blurb out his thoughts in 140 characters or less, there is less interest in typing out a full-length blog post. Until now. Let’s see how long this will last. P.S.: Yes, I’m on Twitter too, but I ain’t really a fan of it. My Tweets are entirely from my Plurks, so please don’t bother to drop me a private message on Twitter. Test Test Test…Am I still alive? The 50 greatest Tottenham Hotspur players http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/tottenham/article5920090.ece No Ricky Villa, & they start with Judas on #50.

Lunar New Year 2010…on V-DAY!!! Even though the Year of the Cow is only 2 days old, I was curious to see when is next year’s Lunar New Year… FEBRUARY 14TH!!!!!!! Oh boy, that isn’t such a great news for me…Guess some plans may have to change… Happy Moo Year! I guess everyone should be having their reunion dinner now. Here’s wishing all a Happy Lunar New Year! Huat ah! My comments on the Big Announcement Here’s my 2 cents worth on the Big Annoucement yesterday… No, not ABS. It wasn’t announced yesterday, and there’s plenty of views around already, so there’s no need for me to add oil to the fire. No, not the Singapore Budget. My initial thought was that it doesn’t affect me much, but on 2nd thought, it’s more important to save jobs NOW due to the economic crisis. I’m talking about the Oscars Nominations. This may sound fan-boyish, but WTF?! No “The Dark Knight” nomination for Best Picture or Christopher Nolan for Best Director? No “The Wrestler” for Best Picture? No Bruce Springsteen for Best Song? Sadly, on any other year, I would have supported Robert Downey Jr. to win Best Supporting Actor. But I think the organisers are engraving Heath Ledger’s name on the award already. Spurs: Making simple things look tough Images from BBC I should have known from history, that Tottenham can’t BLOODY HOLD A 3-GOAL LEAD. Sep 2001: Spurs leading Man U 3-0 at half time in Premier Leageu, before crumbling to a 3-5 loss. Feb 2004: Spurs leading Man City 3-0 at half time against a 10-men team in FA Cup, before crumbling to a 3-4 loss in extra time. Jan 2009: Spurs leading 4-1 from the 1st leg League Cup, before going down 0-3 with 2 minutes remaining in extra time. At least this time, Palvy & Defoe closed the game with 2 goals to secure the passage to face Man U in the finals. I doubt Harry nor the fans would be happy about the way we’ve won though. Images from BBC Next up, the FA Cup at Old Trafford against Man U. Gawd, I hope Spurs won’t get thrashed. How Obama’s speech sounded like… …George W Bush?

Taken from Telegraph The Axis of Awesome: 4 Chords Song From Straydog Scraps: here’s the The Axis of Awesome performing multiple song with just 4 Chords: In case you’re wondering the notes, one of the comments of the video states: E-B-C#m-A or G-D-Em-C for less black notes or C-G-Am-F for all white notes 12 Round - Movie Trailer Another WWE movie by John Cena. Looks like a rip-off from from Die Hard 3 & Speed. Doubt I’ll watch it. Warning: the trailer gave away too much of the exciting scenes. Never Play Bowling Games on Phone in Public From Straydog Scraps: The most expensive bowling game I’ve ever seen. I doubt this will spark a craze in bowling during MRT rides though.

Rihanna’s Umbrella… in Hokkien!! OMG! Chestnuts is back for the 2009 version, and you can buy the tickets from here But this isn’t why I was exclaiming about. Last year’s skit saw Yeo Yann Yann making a guest appearance in the skit “88251″ with Judy Ngo. Now, in one of the act, the duo converted the hit song from Rihanna, Umbrella, from English….to Hokkien!!! Chestnuts have finally released the video on YouTube. Check it out! Ho Sua, Ho Sua, Ho Sua…..
