MiB Lookalikes!!! Part 4

Chandra Kumar star player of MiB now studying in Melbourne, or Yassin Restaurant star prata seller now based in Boon Keng??????????

What a WILD Night..

PP, Prak, Puvan, Riz and KK gathered at Harvey's place to watch the deciding games of the Group of Death at Euro 2008. It was a fun night for all involved and the fun finally ended at about 630am when Prak reluctantly put down the PS3 remote to head home.

We gathered at about 2230, played PS3 for a while before heading off to Yassin Prata Restaurant to tapao some dinner-supper. I have to say the Teh Tarik was really "manis", and I think it had something to do with the guy serving us looking EXACTLY like Mr Chandra Kumar. I am not exaggerating. The photos will be up shortly and you guys can decide after that. By the way, PP showed up in his new crew cut looking more and more like Derek Fisher. Check it out this Friday at NUS. We also got 1 extra kosong prata because the guy serving us felt he had some unexplainable connection to MiB. Was it sheer coincidence that Chan landed in Singapore just hours earlier to that mysterious prata encounter??

We then headed back to Harvey's place to watch Reno 911 and have our food. Let's just say it was a pretty entertaining enough movie, but make sure you watch it alone. No gf, no parents.. Riz was enjoying the show and even asked for a plastic bag, but common sense prevailed. The matches started after that to a frenzy of betting from Prak. The games were exciting enough and Holland and Italy have made it through from the Group of Death. France were really unlucky to lose 2-0 we felt. First Ribery went off after 10 minutes, then Abidal conceded a penalty and got himself sent off after 25, and then Italy scored a second through a deflected free kick. To make matters even more exciting, love-struck French boss Raymond Domenech then joined in the mayhem by proposing to his girlfriend live on TV. He said: “It was just a thought when everything was so sad. “I thought life has some beautiful moments and you should tell people you love them. I wanted to show some emotion.” I told you it was a WILD night.

Special mention to Prak and Kevin who started playing PS3 at half time of the matches and did not stop till the games were over. Euro Fever has really got to them you can see. After the matches, in order to wait for the first bus, we played a Winning Eleven tournament to which Rizvi went to strike some yoga-like poses on my bed. There was even a Superman posture but we still are investigating the moaning and groaning noises. At 630am, the fun was over, with Riz tapaoing 5 kosong prata home.

This morning the Celtics raped LA in the NBA Finals so congrats to them. To see the "african-american" guys celebrating is worth a watch. "WOOOOOOOO, YEAHHHHHHHHH BAYBEEEEEE, MAMAaaaaa"... Good stuff.

So Chan is back. Vana is off on another overseas assignment but hopes to be back for soccer this Friday at 4pm at NUS. For the rest of you, be there.

MiB Lookalikes!!! Part 3

Navin a.k.a PP or Derek Fisher from the LA Lakers??????

Updates..

1. A few of us went to watch Kung Fu Panda yesterday. Pretty decent movie. Predictable enough storyline and there weren't too many "shrek"-like laughs for me. It really is a school holiday movie for the younger generation but there are enough things in it to make it watchable. The CGI for one is eye-popping and it really is quite frightening to think what these cartoons will look like in 5 years time. Think about it, it takes 1,000,000 drawings to make a 3 minute CGI film. So go watch Kung Fu Panda to give your eyes something to savour and appreciate the hard work of the people behind it.
   
   Rating: 3.5/5 (worth a watch in the cinema for a $6 ticket, especially when Rizvi was treating. =)))) )
   
2. We then went to Toa Payoh area to link up with Sat and SK and we had a good 3 hour chit chat about life and MiB. It was pretty good fun and who knows when we will get opportunities like this in the future to catch up. I have to say the Lime Juice With Sour Plum at the 177TP food court was probably the best I have had in Singapore. Sat ordered 3 glasses and me 2. It really was worth the $1.20. Go try if you can..
   
3. Soccer this Friday. Is it on? Can Sat confirm?
   
4. Watching Euro at Harvey's place has been postponed to next week or the week after because I understand that some of us have work commitments on Saturday. So that has been postponed.
   
5. Next weekend (20-22 of June), my mum has got an M1 chalet at Downtown east. She actually reserved it for a friend who then cancelled on her last minute so its all hers. My parents are not too keen on the whole chalet concept so have offered us the chance to stay there for a night or two. So lets plan and maybe take the Fri-Sat slot. A good chance to catch up, watch Euro, go swimming, and I heard Chan will be back too so hopefully he can join us.
   
6. I think Sat will be inviting us to some dinner on the 22nd of June so keep that slot free guys. More details from Sat soon.
   
7. Maran said he wanted to club this Saturday. Any takers?
   
8. MiB Player Profile will be Pirakash this week. Can anybody please pass me some memorable quotes that he has said or something that you will always associate with Prak that I can include in the blog. Send to my email at harveymib1@hotmail.com if it is too sensitive.
   
9. Photos from Sat's sister's wedding. Sat and Harish where are they???
   
10. What happened to the MiB trip? Batam or Redang? Suddenly I am starting to lean towards Redang again because I heard Batam is getting expensive and they charge in Singapore dollars now because they know we like to come over...

MiB FC Player Profile: Anthony

6. Anthony

Position on the pitch: Right/Left Back, Right/Left Wing

Profile:

Now it might be a little unfair for me to write a Player Profile about Anthony, because I hardly knew the guy as well as the rest of MiB. The majority of the guys will remember him best for the years they spent together at SJI and how he became a good friend and then assimilated to be one of the founding members of MiB.

Anthony has always been a great buddy to hang out with, and has no "airs" about spending time with a group of football-crazy indian guys, which is perhaps the greatest attribute we can pay him. He is always in the midst of sharing a joke or playing a prank and despite only meeting him more than a handful number of times, I will always remember him as someone really friendly and easy to talk to.

Now that he has migrated to Canada (he still shows up once in a while), we have kinda lost in touch with him but I felt that it was important to include him in the MiB player profiles because he embodies all the good things about MiB FC. A good solid footballer, who always gives 100% in games, but a great friend off the pitch too. And it says a lot about MiB that we have members of all ethnic backgrounds and communities. Not many teams in Singapore or even the world can say that.

I hope that wherever he is, Anthony will one day stumble upon this website and get in touch with us again. We look forward to meeting and hanging out with him.

PS. For good measure, maybe you guys can leave some comments here about Anthony, all the great memories that you all had from SJI that I was not able to fit into this profile. I think we owe him that much. And can somebody get in touch with him?

Next Week: DB7 Pirakash

EURO is here!!

Ok guys I'm back from reservist!

The guys met up to play soccer at NUS on Sunday after a week's lay-off. Harvey, Riz, SK, Sat, Prak, PP, Maran, Vana, Zal showed up. We adjourned for dinner at Beach Rd after that and then a few of us went over to Harvey's house for PS 3, chit chat and watched the Euro games..

So what's been happening with MiB?

1. Batam has emerged as a strong contender for MiB's getaway location. I think either way it will be ok cos as long as we are together it'll be fun. So let's just fix the dates and confirm plans. Waiting is just going to kill our plans. So Harish give us you best deal for Redang (most convenient no need to go Malaysia and book all), and Philbert you do the same for Batam. We will then have a poll up and we can vote after that.
2. Anyone wanna meet up this week for Kung Fu Panda or M.Night Shyamalan's The Happening? Maybe Wednesday??
3. This Friday NUS Soccer at 4pm. After that maybe we can go have dinner and you guys can come over to my place to watch the Euro games. The games are Italy vs Romania and Holland vs France. Group of Death. And I'm telling you guys early so that we come prepared. Sleep the whole day, come for NUS soccer and then for the games so we can last throughout. Its called Euro Fever. Do come if you can.
4. Player Profiles, Anthony and Prak to come soon. Sorry to keep procastinating!
5. I have some opponents for field games if you guys want. They might not be too good but it will be good cos we need to build up some steam before we play them.
6. Any upcoming tournaments? Sat pass me some details..
7. Sat sister's wedding dinner photos are still M.I.A.. Harish and Sat please pass them to me when you can..
