What a strange coincidence… When Google Chrome was launched, Bill immediately SMS-ed me to say “Hey! Let’s try IE8 Beta!”. I was surprised. That was the first SMS coming from a friend whom I had lost contact for quite some time.

In fact ever since I ignored Bill, I had a new friend found. His name is Mozilla. People always make a mockery of his name ’cause it sounds like a mozzie plus Godzilla merged together, but really, he’s just as cunning as a fox.

What impresses me the most is that Mozilla could run as fast as Maurice Green. He swept off his competitors with such ease so much so that I too, was blown away. So me, being a sucker for speed, soon became close friends with Mozilla. Since then, he has always been helpful to me in so many ways. Honestly, he opened a new window in my life, pun not intended.

But just like the recent Olympics, there seemed to be a Usain Bolt in school; a new kid on the block. I just can’t believe the rumours going around school. Everyone touted him to be the latest Speed Sensation. But have they forgotten that Mozilla had beaten everyone hands down?

So I went down to the school track to watch this kid train. And hell yeah the rumours were true. This new guy had so much promise in terms of delivering his potential. I mean, every lap that he runs is a new record. Can you believe it?

It is so unlike that other guy practising in the other lane who breaks down quite often even only after a few laps of slow jogging. It really kept me wondering why he wears a goggle when he’s on the tracks though.

As I said, I am a sucker for speed and yes the new kid was worthy of the title ‘Speed Sensation’. Perhaps I should really be friends with him; he may even be much more beneficial to me as compared to Mozilla.

So I turn to pick my bag up and stood up. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulders from behind.

“So, what did I tell you eh?”

It was Bill.

“When you close a window, you’ll find another gate opened.”

Lights out!

Off to bed.

Together with Football Manager Handheld for PSP, both are slated to be released on Nov 14 2008. And I just can’t wait! The thing is… I don’t wanna burn my weekends playing this addictive game. It is highly possible that FM is capable of taking my social life away!

I thought there’s wouldn’t be an FM2009 since they came out with FMLive and it was out for beta testing for almost a year now. But hey hey!

Here’s the video that explains all the new features and I dare say Sir Alex, thanks for being my mentor all these while. I wish to be discharged of my service to you. Thank you.

Nothing is as exciting as seeing the transfer window open and close for the European leagues. Amongst which the best transfer move of all is, how aptly, sealed at the very last moment of the window.

I thought Ronaldinho’s move to AC Milan or Mourinho to Inter was colourful enough since Cristiano Ronaldo’s failure to switch to that all-white kit. And I had truly believed right from the start that Berbatov would sign for the Red Devils no matter how much he’s sulking but Robinho? Man City who?

From a biased point of view, I think he might have dropped off at the wrong side of Manchester. Or maybe his eyes can’t tell between red and blue. But surely Mark Hughes doesn’t resemble Ferguson right?

Oh well, don’t believe the tabloids. I’m quite certain that Robinho was desperate for he had problems back at Madrid. Knowing the hierarchy system there, who is he to hold his own press conference?

Now let me see him samba. That’ll erase my sense of disbelief a little.

I have always been skeptical about long-distance relationships. ’cause no matter how sweet the words may be, how ever frequent the calls are, the physical comfort is never replaceable.

I confess that the one and a half months of Babe being in Penang for shoot is the greatest test that I’ve faced thus far. But yeah… I we pulled through and that means I’m we’re ready to face the next challlenge being laid out in front of me us - National Service.

Gosh looking back at the things that happened in that one and a half months, it’s just so surreal how life has been for me. I appreciate little, little things even more and look at life in more perspective than one.

But I’m just glad that Babe is back in Singapore.
