BOOooooo!!!

Oh yeah man exams are finally over and i think i'm better off doing what i have always been doing -- help people win money and laugh your way to the bank.

U must be disappointed that tml will be the last matchday for 07/08 season. Last it may be, it's actually proving to be one of the most intriguing and tightest finish at the top of the table in recent years.

I think u have to go back a good 6-7 years ago when the title race also had to be determined by almost similar circumstances. Then, the 2 teams head to head were actually man u (every year also man u) and arsenal (if i'm not wrong), but even so, there was a 1 or 2 point gap between them. Man u won the last match against spurs 2-1 and easily clinched the title at old trafford.

To top things up on sunday, u have that 3 bottom teams battling for survival in the epl too. I really think that being relegated is a much worse fate than either one of the top 2 not winning, so i definitely wont hesitate to change channels while watchin my beloved man u winning. And saying that, starhub has finally done something right by showing an incredible 8 out of 10 matches at the same time. (i think i will need a piece of paper in front of me to tell me which channels are for which matches) It's crazy. But with so much at stake tml, i expect to have great pleasure in pinching the buttons on my remote.

I dunno but somehow i just feel that the hype surrounding the title race is not as hot as it should be. Of course, every now and then, u hear about in the news, newspaper, internet... But, the intensity of it just doesnt seem to be at its max and i guess it probably goes down to the quality of the oppositions which will be standing in the ways of the top 2. You see, wigan and bolton are not the most powerful teams in the epl. Only recently have they secured their epl status and perhaps their minds are already thinkin about where to backpack for their holidays.

I cannot see man u being impeded by wigan in any ways. I am going for a simple 2-0 win for man u. Of course, best is man u score a last min winner to crack chelsea's heart at the last moment. But by then, i think all man u fans will have pissed in their pants, so realistically, that wont be nice.

Chelsea will destroy Bolton. 4-0 to chelsea.

I will opt for fulham to escape relegation since they have their destiny in their own hands, even though i think birmingham and reading are good enough teams to remain in the epl.

Fulham will go gung ho to find that 1st goal. After which, they will park bus in front their goal.
1-0 to fulham.

Reading should win la against the worst side in epl history. 2-0 to Reading

Birmingham have great attackers in zarate, forsell and mcfadden. But too bad their other departments are not doing well. A draw for them against blackburn tml.

Ok i cant wait for tml. Next week i will be puttin up my best and worst 11 for the whole season so i'm sure that will be some fun the next time u come back.

Yeah u are back!!

Just last week, i bump into one of my old time punter and he complained he cant get me on the number which i gave on my last post. He said he was instead, directed to this Mas Selamat hotline.

Ah Tan: "Hi can i find Hao?"
Hotline: "What Hao?? We are only interested in Mas Selamat."
Ah Tan: "Whats that? Oh i only interested in bookie tips."
Hotline: "Then sorry u got the wrong number."

I must say, Mas Selamat has saved this Ah Tan's backside. If not for him, that person on the phone would have tracked him down and put behind bars. It seems like words from the lips of everyone are revolving round this Mas Selamat guy.

In case u are so oblivious to local current affairs, let me tell u first hand whats all the commotion about. Mas Selamat, one of the members of terrorist group Jemaah Islamiah, has escaped from one of Singapore's "Lo Kat", and is out there enjoying himself. He has been, in the past, accused of planning to hijack a plane and crash it into our iconic changi airport. Now, that will definitely send shivers down your backbone.

A lot of speculations about his whereabouts have been made. Some claimed he had already fled to nearby indonesia islands while other absurd ones said he was still hiding inside that toilet where he was first reported to have gone missing. But of course, chances of nabbing him look dimmer with every second passes.

It seems very ironic that several days ago, the opportunity to stage the inaugural Youth Olympics has been presented to Singapore, partly due to the "safe and secure" environment which our country possesses. If this same decision were to be made again next month, who knows there may be a twist to the outcome?

But anyway, lets all hope that this terrifying terror terrorist can appear on our tv screens handcuffed again asap. Taking morning trains, by then, wont be that nervy anymore.

Closure of my blog

It's been almost a month since i wrote my last post. Well, u may have guessed it, my three min hotness bubble has finally burst and despite all the clamors from u all people, sorry i have decided to give myself a well earned break until may when my exams end.

To all my bookie fans, do not lose hope yet. U all still can contact my hp at 99912345.

Newcastle to prevail..

Sorry in a hurry now.

With Kevin Keegan's arrival at newcastle, it has definitely brought about a sense of optimism at St James Park. A surge in morale will be expected and be prepared to witness fans become tiger and lions roaring again. Ignore the fact that they lost players through injuries and African Cup, everyone will be geared up to impress their new boss.

Newcastle to beat -1 1/2 against a nowadays weak bolton side.

First week of hell

Ok it's back to sch after one month plus of holiday. It wasnt short nor a long one. Put it into other words, it was a period which allowed me to salvage some fresh air, nonetheless the length of the duration was just spot on to send my precious still functioning brain juices straight into the rhythm of Sem 2.

After months of being underloaded, i took up the option of taking 6 modules this sem.

EC1301 Principles of Econs.
My first foray into the heartlands of the Arts Fac. It's essentially a course taught by Arts but the students actually came from different facs in NUS(Engine, Arts, Sci,...). Even so, the eye pollution which have been affecting me since i attended engine lectures was no more. The fresh air around me was enough to make me stay awake for majority part of the first lecture. I cant wait for my next lecture...

MLE1101 Material Science and Engineering
The lecturer with his "British" accent is trying hard to make himself understood to everyone. Not an easy task since he's from China but i find him still ok. If the first 2 lectures are anything to go by, it looks as though it may not be a that tough module to study. But sadly this translates to tough competition too.

EG1108 Electrical Engineering
The lecturer with the true British accent. Not sure of his qualifications but i am not surprised if he specialises in english literature. Sometimes he likes to start his sentence "Dow shall not do this do that in exams......" Eh i think this module not easy.

MA1506 Maths
Same hong kong lecturer with his hongkie accent. I felt that the things taught were hard considering that it's only the start of sem. Let's keep our finger crossed and hope things will become better...

PC1432 Physics
20 something different chapters will be taught which means it will always be a struggle to keep pace with the lectures.

EG1413 English
Not yet started.

FA Cup: 05/01/07

Ever wonder what makes the FA cup that fascinating compared to normal weekly epl action among the big clubs? Well it's that sort of fever when imagine, our touted-to-be 2010 World Cup hopeful Lions entertain giants like Iraq which boasts stars like....... (i dunno). But u get the idea la. Knowing that your local lads rank as serious underdogs(or even no-hopers), u cheer for them frantically when they touch the ball, or go into ecstasy when they somehow managed to put the ball over the goal line. Even if your team doesnt win, no bad feeling will linger because their shag-cannot-think faces tell u they have put every drop and ounce of blood and energy into the game.

It's very disappointing to see liverpool, with all its prestige and past glories, now struggle to get into the champions league next year. Seriously, liverpool has been over rated every season. Finishing almost 20-30 pts behind the champions every season is a way no no title contender. Sometimes i just wonder why Tom Dicks and Torres went to liverpool.

I dun see Luton getting past liverpool at this stage of the competition. But with home advantage and an under strength liverpool set to be displayed, i believe they can suck the hell out of liverpool and force a replay in Anfield. Moreover, with so many poor displays in previous matches i see no solution yet to their morale. Benitez must be sweating even when he is sleeping at home.

I will highly recommend Arsenal's youngsters to get a 2 goal win agst burnley. Under strength they may be, these young guys are no pushovers and they all are a match for their senior squad members. Still remember they squeeze a full strength liverpool 6-3 in FA cup also?


"You will always walk alone"

Yeah it's new year!!

With just a couple more hours to go before 2008 beckons, ah hao from haohaohaohaohao.blogspot.com will like to wish all his friends, readers, punters, bookies and fellow man u fans a Happy 2008!!

To my friends/readers, good luck for your studies or work and may all your 2008 resolutions come true!!

To my fellow/rival punters and bookies, may all of u win big money!!

To my fellow diehard man u fans, man u winning the epl title is almost a certainty this season. All i hope is that liverpool get kicked out of the top 4 and usher in some new club which plays more interesting football.
