Singapore national football team lost to Vietnam in aya bank cup, Gelyang international and sleague sticker book, www.bolasepako.com

Hey readers, good afternoon, hows your day ?

The match between Singapore and Vietnam was going to the final minute, but some points worthy of putting down are as follows.

Early in the game baihakki misses a chance with a header against Vietnam.

Near the end of the first half, a well though Singapore free kick opportunity was wasted.

In the 2nd half, early on, Vietnam blast a kick over the goal post.

Vietnam got another moment with le cong vinh.

Quak tired a shot but was blocked by the Vietnam defence, that was all that i watched.

Final score after extra time, 3 - 0, Vietnam won. We have never beat Vietnam in football for a long time.

Next i will write on gelyang international, this year in 2016, gelyang face issues with striking power upfront, some name them the draw kings in the league. How many remember the fandi who used to play in gelyang united back then in 1996.

Recently reported, mark hartmann of global fc from the Philippines is now training with the team. I hope and wish he signs with the club. I have watch him on the field, he has passion and most critically physically size.

This is the picture of the sticker book back in the days. I did not use flash as it may damage the paper as i kept in storage and took it out to share after so long.


Alongside all these, i would like to thank mister po hui from www.bolasepako.com. He has allowed me to link his blog, everyone who is interested in football in singapore or simply like football should go go, see see, look look. The pictures he takes with his camera are fabulous in detail.

Thailand national football team achieves victory in king's cup, dignity kitchen

The national team of Thailand triumph in glory over Jordan yesterday in the king's cup.

I watch the match after chanatip was substituted in the 2nd half, after which Jordan when on the attack, the Thais were soaking up the offensive.

Jordan tried a bicycle kick of sorts, then out of a sudden the Thais came with a counter attack and scored. This was already with a 1 goal advantage. They did it by the flanks with runners in the middle, the chonburi player kroekrit tapping in the ball.

A scare by Jordan in the 85th minute and that was pretty much it.

A fact was that i saw a Singaporean referee and a Malaysian one since i remember them from the lions xii days in the Malaysia super league and sleague.

On a side note, the cubs, the Singaporean under 21 lost, the final score was 2 - 2, in the end they lost to Vietnam during the shoot out. I wrote about this a few days ago, it must be destiny that i had written, what does goes around comes around, the spinning wheel of fortune, amusing.

Here are the highlights for the Thailand match below, enjoy.


Subsequently, i will like to share with everyone about this, The project is dignity kitchen, it is a hawker training school for the disadvantaged people in singapore with a regular food court.

This idea may not be new but like i say as usual, the effort counts. I believe it is run by a group of like minded associates. The business model also i think is like getting funding from sources like own-self, the owner, and from corporate sponsors. It functions like a social enterprise, please go and patronize, if it is good, good, if not do as you wish.

The location is at block 267, serangoon avenue 3, 2nd floor, opening hours, Monday to Sundays, 8 in the morning to the afternoon. Nearest train station is serangoon.

Tiger balm Repellent Spray, strap

Good morning, how are you people doing.

Its a cool day in Singapore, people going about their daily meals and buying of grocery.

Succeeding that, i saw that tiger balm has insect repellent spray for mosquitoes, works for outdoors or the basic needs at home. Obtainable in the major supermarkets they have it. Priced at below 10 dollars.

Made in Singapore, you can just spray onto the skin directly or clothing, can last a few hours. The unique thing is i found out that a strap version like a patch has been created, similar to a watch strap or a rubber band on your wrist. Certainly it works but i feel that it is not that effective or efficient, its more expensive that a spray can.

Caution for women who are pregnant and children, women because of issues with child nursing or matters regarding, specifically young children or people who may have allergies on their skin.

Prevention is better than cure, as they usually say, if i am not wrong there is no vaccine for dengue fever. Protect yourself and making an effort to get rid of where mosquitoes can breed are the best bet.

Aya bank cup 2016, singapore under 21 football, King's cup thailand 2016

Hey world, good morning.

Today i shall touch on football, firstly the Singaporean football team, the national side was in Myanmar to participate in the Aya bank cup, yesterday for the match i only managed to catch from the 2nd half onward.

From the 2nd half, garbiel quak hit a shot on target early in the 2nd half. 

In the 70 plus minute, fazrul nawaz misplace a shot, he missed a golden chance to score.

Myanmar then keeps attacking Singapore in its half, hassan sunny saves 2 shots on target from goal in a period of 10 minutes, both at around the 80 plus minute mark.

After the final whistle, Singapore wins with the final score 1 - 0. 

Now they face Vietnam in the final.

Secondly, I believe the Singapore under 21 football team was playing Malaysia in the nations cup.

I did not watch that, in was reported that Singapore lost 3 - 0.

I remembered maybe last year in Vietnam, the cubs manage to draw in Vietnam, in the final minutes, the cubs scored the equalizer against Vietnam achieving some placing, i cannot remember his name, if i am not wrong his name is pereira. Singapore won by penalty shoot out.

Thirdly for the king's cup, in Thailand, i rushed to catch a glimpse of the contest. Again in the 2nd half, late into the game. Syria scored against Thailand, the score was 2 - 2. I then saw a Thai player who looks European. Actually there was 2, Anyway i realize it was mika chunuonsee, i knew about him since years ago. I followed Thai football for some years now, they have really progress tremulously, in many ways. 

Gareth bale was his team mate when they were in the welsh youth team. Mika speaks both fluent Thai and English well.  

All the best for Singapore and Thailand for the coming games.

Sleague, sports

Hi, good friday to all, today shall be sports day, i will be covering abit about it.

In singapore, sports has many forms, from the ball sports to the extreme sports, like skateboarding and etc. Football or soccer has been the love for many through out the years. The sleague has been around for a long time, i still follow it, while some lost touch with it.

I believe sports or exercise should be a part of life to be healthy lah, but the concern is that Singapore football has lost a huge amount of its glamour or hype, so to speak. I remember once the sleague had a large audience of locals following, thousands in the numbers, household names like fandi or steven tan. I am not a expert or do i claim to do a self styled know all. I will like to share just what i have.

This is a picture of back in the days, a issue, how many people recognize this, not many i guess.



I aspire to share more through the days. Hope someone sees or cares if not why share. Someone told me sports is about the people, you win, you cry, you lose, you also cry. I personally feel sports is about conquering yourself, pushing your limit, it does not manner if you score the goal or not, this lah that lah, some will argue lah. I will not write about that, like i said before, many have done it.

Support your local football club, any club, anyone please. It may sound like flim-flam but if you do not support your local sports people who will. I am not asking you for the sake of it just go, you go pay, watch a match, see how and decided for yourself.

Bao, Mark lee and Kumar

Hey hey hey, how are you people in the world wide web. I hope you are doing fine.

Number one, not a long time ago, while i was watching the news on TV, a short presentation on the screen, touched me. A auntie, her name is Sarah tan, she helps people in need. She uses money, time, most importantly effort, from housing people, giving second chances, even to me that is like taking a high stake gamble in life, risking all.

She deserves not just a pat on the back, because of the choices she make or what, like i said, effort counts. she must have been exhausted.

Please support her business, one is at block 122, Ang Mo Kio, Avenue 3. This is is near the mrt station, the stall opens from morning till afternoon. I believe she have some other locations also, if you are willing with a kind heart, patronize her food stalls, the Bao with a heart.

Now for something more local, Singaporean style, mister mark lee and kumar are comedians, they are very creative, unique, and they are equipped with lots of personal flair. They have a show titled, double trouble. The series showcases topics from talent no enough to make me over, ah beng edition. You can guarantee laughter, confirm plus chop, power ! must watch if not you lugi.

Dun say i never share, this one is really on Singapore, come watch lah, test how well you know Singapore or simply watch on the train or bus while waiting. Best.

My first link, a discovery, FallenSuperheroSG

Hi there people, I am glad to announce my first link to a recommended site, marry thai girl singapore, i will like to thank him for linking me up. From the bottom of my heart, i rate highly his blog as it shows a lot of insightful views and knowledge. Please visit his blog for more details.

For the first subject that i will like to touch on today, i saw on the news that recycling is an issue, i think it is a big problem in the world, i will not touch on the things that many people have touch on, this lah, that lah.

I think for me, the most important point is that i try to reduce and reuse, not to buy, for example batteries. Those you use them once then throw. A few years back i thought of rechargeable batteries. This means that i buy a rechargeable battery and a charger which is AA size. I am able to reuse it again and again, it writes on the label that its usable life is about 10 years, i did not reach the limit yet. But it is still running well. I use it on remote controls for my TV and fan. If i am able to use it for 10 years, i will not just be happy, i think i might save some money in the long run, its not that expensive either, the rechargeable batteries are available in the supermarkets as i bought it from them.

Now the time for the fascinating part, i discover that to see your remote control battery got life or not, use your hand phone camera and point it at the light bulb there. Press and you will see light! if no light, time to change.

To end, for the music lovers out there who loves beats, there is this person who creates good music! His name is fallen super hero SG. Here is one of his master pieces, enjoy.
