Man Utd wins the 2011 EPL Title & Man City is the 2011 FA Cup Winners!
Manchester the city see a double celebration today as Manchester United take home the English Premier League title for the 19th time after drawing with Blackburn 1-1 at Ewood Park. The Saturday celebration kicked off with Manchester United playing away at Blackburn Rover’s Ewood Park and after conceeding the first goal to Blackburn thanks to a Brett Emerton finishing in the 2oth minute, Wayne Rooney equalized in a penalty in the 72nd minute following Paul Robinson’s foul on Javier Hernandez. The game petered out to a forgettable conclusion as both teams settles for the draw and the United players breaking out into mad celebration at the final whistle.
According to Sir Alex Ferguson, “It was a fantastic performance by the lads and the supporters and for everybody connected with the club it’s a great day today,” he said. “It wasn’t an easy game, we went 1-0 down having given them a bad goal but we kept on and we don’t give in. It looked like it was not going to be our day, we’ve always had it difficult here. It is a local derby and they are fighting for their lives, looking for that point, but we kept going and that’s a good quality.” (more…)
Nikon 10 Year Anniversary
Over the recent weekend, Nikon held a 4 day exhibition at MidValley to celebrate their 10 year Anniversary. Started on the Thursday with a Media Launch at 10.30am with a short speech by the Managing Director of Nikon as well as a short opening gambit. The 4 day event also had a lot of activities lined up for Nikon users, from a display of all the past and present Camera models Nikon produced to workshops as well as free Sensor Cleaning service.
One thing I would like to ask is, who came up with the slide show for the stage at the Media Launch? I showed my monsters at home after the event this photo and ask them who they think did the design and they told me it look like the fonts they use in their kindergarten. Seriously, don’t they have any other fonts to use that would look more professional than these? Or is it such a rush job that they just slap on any fonts they could find? (more…)
Good Bye 2010 and Hello 2011
As the last day of 2010 come before us, I look back at 2010 and it’s challenges that I’ve gone through and at some juncture, overcome. In a way, 2010 has been a year of change for me. From moving back to KL from Singapore, to having my kids back with me. I must thank God that my parents and sisters has been the best in helping me care for the two monsters when I’m out on assignments.
One thing I can tell you for sure, it ain’t easy being a single dad but I was lucky that I can turn to my family for guidance and assistance whenever I stumbled upon some obstacles in caring for the monsters and providing for them. From having a secured 9-5 (who am I kidding, I worked in a TV station, there’s no such thing as 9 to 5) job that pays me on a monthly basis to coming back to KL and venturing out on my own where if I don’t work my butt off means I won’t get paid. It sure is a big change but in a way, despite the slow start, I am happy as I get to spend more time with the monsters at the same time doing what I love to do as a career. (more…)
7aste Monte Carlo @ ecoBA
Recently attended the 7aste Monte Carlo event by Mild Seven at ECOBA. Beautifully set up and truly maximizes the limited space available with various games to keep the guests entertained before the start of the performance. Even though the dress code on the invite is “Monte Carlo”, we don’t get many people who dresses up for the occasion.
Girls would actually make an effort to look the part (most of them that is..) but 90% of the guys there just wear what they wore that day at work or the usual jeans and shirt ensemble. Oh well, with free flow of beer and a steady flow of Champaign going around, who’s going to complain about what everyone wears right? More camwhoring and performance photos after the jump. Image heavy post! (You’ve been warned!) (more…)
