22nd consecutive gold, but so what?
Filed in Sport, December 11, 2007, 11:01 pmSingapore’s water polo team has just won their 22nd consecutive gold at the SEA Games today.

《红星大奖之戏剧情牵25》
Filed in TV/Movie, December 9, 2007, 11:12 pm今晚看了《红星大奖之戏剧情牵25》，非常感动。 尤其看到久违的白言和陈美光，更是开心。白言叔88岁高龄，身子还是很硬朗；美光姐虽然身子较弱，但中气仍十足，很是欣慰。
这几年已很少看电视了，许多新艺人，我都不认得。所以节目里看到了很多熟悉的旧脸孔，勾起了很多美好回忆，非常高兴。
也看到了许多资深艺人在今晚受到肯定，很感动。他们都是有实力的演技派甘草老戏骨，不常受到瞩目，但实际贡献都非常大。
最近有在周末追看重播的《福满人间》，非常喜爱。它入“五大连续剧”，很开心。但更高兴的是郭令送的《出路》和《荷兰村》也入“五大连续剧”。因为一直都很欣赏她的作品。
戏剧情牵25，我也可以算是从起点就在一旁跟着走的。25年了。。。唉。。。老了啊。。。

Back then, it was an unthinkable thing to do. When I made it known that I [...]

Earlier this year, I had registered for the full distance in the Singapore Marathon. But later I decided to back out. I passed my bib and tag to a friend. I didn’t feel ready for it, because I did quite badly for the [...]
