Fantasy Football 06/07.

It was a nail biting finish till the end. Much like the relegation fight between West Ham, Wigan and Sheffield United. First of all, before I go on to the details of the tight fight between my team and KC-XTT's legendary xtt risky business, a round up on my team's performance this season:

Really nothing to be proud of. Finished at a dismay 96th percentile, 2780 points and overall rank of 7492, 3rd in
UHU League, 4th in Jokers League. This is the 3rd season. A little improvement from the 94th percentile of last season, but far cry from the 98th percentile of the first season.

You may be wondering, such lousy result, whats there to blog about? Well, the exciting thing this season is that my girlfriend joined in the game as well, and the close fight with
KC-XTT's team.

My team vs xtt risky business. First the stats...
Position: me 3rd vs xtt 4th
Points: me 2780 vs xtt 2720.5
# of Team of the Week: me 2 vs xtt 4

Less than 60 points separate our team! xtt climbed from the bottom half of the league in the first half of the season, rapidly to 4th position! That was simply inspiring. Since we stop our little weekly bets, she out-do me every week, closing the gap of more than 300 points. In fact xtt began at disadvantage as she started playing the game only on the 2nd week. So if you deduct away the 141 points I scored in the first week, she'd have overtaken me!

All in all, despite the terrible result, this season was the most fun of the three. I am a far 170 points away from the 2nd
Brian Team and even further 467.5 points away from the 1st Ah Fa's Lousier than lousy FC. Apart from this gap on top, the competition in the mid tables was intense despite most players at the lower half stopped playing mid-way thru the season. heh heh.

My girlfriend also gave a commendable effort of 2314.5 points. She also stopped playing mid-way thru.
Hah hah. But mind you, she doesn't even watch soccer! So she don't really know the players. I think she probably know quite a few now! It's certainly fun to talk about soccer and the players with your girlfriend lorh. =p

Finally, the best buy and favourite player this season has got to be Everton's Mikel Arteta. His value increased 9.64 since the beginning of the season, total of 7 games with more than 20 points performance out of 33 games played.


Other worthy mentioned are BFDB (Blog Favourite David Bentley), Tim Howard, and Favourite Hammer Carlos Tevez who put up hell of a performance in the last few games, too bad I did not have him during his 44-point-week! Of cuz I am really happy that Man Utd won the league title, and Ronaldo was really fantastic too but I only have him for a couple of games which he sucked real bad. Sorry my bad, everyone else had to suffer with me then. Heh. Frank Lampard would have made it to my favourite list too if not for his inconsistent performance in the last few games.

See everyone again next season!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
