Standard Chartered’s Little Champions

It’s a Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for children in Asia to be escorts to world-class soccer players at the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League matches which are watched by hundreds and thousands of people worldwide. This is historic as it’s the first time children from Asia and Middle East have the opportunity to be player escorts at the UEFA Champions League matches

How to kids get involved? Simply by going logging into Standard Chartered’s Singapore Little Champions and Standard Chartered’s Korea Little Champions contest. It’s going to be an exhilarating experience as attest by the 24 lucky children from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE and Korea who were selected by Standard Chartered to be player escorts at the Manchester United FC Vs Bersiktas JK match in Manchester and the AC Milan Vs Marseille match in Milan on 25 Nov 09.

Onward to Vientiane!

The Opening ceremony’s about 24 hours away. If you’re seeing this page, that can only mean one thing. I’ve gone to Laos and for the next 2 weeks. I’m going to be there cheering the Malaysian team on, irregardless of how many medals they are bringing back.

An estimate of 300 to 400-member Malaysian contingent is already there getting themselves used to the food, weather and the sports village. 2 games: the Water Polo and Football has already begun.

Chef-de-Mission for Laos, Datuk Dr Ramlan Abdul Aziz had indicated that the Malaysian contingent would participate in 21 of the 25 sports hosted. I wonder how many medals will the Malaysian team bring back. No matter what, I’m looking forward to seeing our boys and girls do well. Will try to update with details and photos here (if I can find an internet connection to upload them). If I can’t get online, I’ll see you guys and update mikeyip.com in about 2 weeks time. (more…)
