He could have been jailed for 121 years, you know.

"I can't believe it! Another government official caught with his pants down!", that's how I started my SMS's reaction on ex-MP Michael Palmer's extramarital affair. Hands up who think there wasn't sex involved - it's like asking readers which of Pi's stories in the novel, "Life of Pi", he finds more plausible. I prefer the first, of course, but honestly, the second rings the bell of truth louder.

"Ah Boys to Men" broke the box-office record and has become the highest grossing Singapore film. I told you so, I told you so.

My beloved Lions soccer team is in the AFF Suzuki Cup 2012 Final. And I think we stand a chance to be crowned for the fourth time if we can defend as a unit over the two legs to keep clean sheets. I can't wait for the first leg tomorrow. My current favourite player: Isa Halim (jersey No. 4) - I watched him play for Home United where he can dominate the midfield completely and single-legged-ly, and he controlled the tempo to calm the Lion XII's players down when defending, or before launching another attack. And I've spotted another future Lions: Safirul Bin Sulaiman (Jersey No. 28); this lad packs a cultured left foot and can attack or defend - you heard it here first.

Now, this is sad, and I'd rather not talk about it. Perhaps it's time for US to re-think their stand on guns control.
