3] Location : Singapore

4] Marital status : Married...but occasionally available

5] Occupation : IT Consultant...basically i digg anything IT related

6] Why do you support Arsenal : started by mistake actually..i was asked to buy a Red Color shirt for an occasion and the shop i went only had an Arsenal jersey(the old JVC one with the old logo).Did some research on the club after that and started watching...and fell in love after seeing DB10 in action

7] What would you be prepared to sacrifice in order to get a season ticket : my house? I'll have to relocate myself to London if i were to watch the matches...and i wouldn't have a need for a house if i'm not in Singapore...i'll probably bring me wife along :sneaky: she's a Gunner-in-conversion

8] Favourite player of all time : DB10...all hail the MASTER :notworthy:

9] Favourite holiday destination : i'll like to visit London soon...to see the Emirates and get a picture of it! before i have kids and become too difficult to travel

10] Where would you most like to live : at Highbury Apartment?

11] Favourite band ever : Bon Jovi, really love their songs and stage charisma...awesome

12] Favourite drink : Beer! except for Tiger(local product here). highest record me downed 12 cans at a dinner and was totally stoned...

13] Favourite food : hmm...toughie...Singapore's got plenty of good food...but i really like me wife's cooking...she's got the recipe to my stomach :biggrin:

14] Are you left or right handed : I write with my right hand...

15] Most fanciable female : I quite like Charlize Theron...seen some of her movies and she can act very well...of course...she looks great too :sneaky:

16] If you won the lottery, what would you do : Clear up my loans for my house, Wii and laptop. If i have enough, i'll buy a huge TV and watch Arsenal matches with me wife at home!


With many thanks to Roland for taking the time to do this. The thread is open to others to ask questions, within reason of course!

Favourite flavor of crisps?

Is Singapore getting more expensive? I was planning a trip there until I told it was just about as expensive as Europe.

BBQ flavour for me...
I don't think Singapore's as expensive as Europe...
Considering the currency strength of the Euro against Singapore dollar...i'll say you'll feel alot happier here... :Peace:
Food ain't too expensive here...a meal here(local delights) with a drink will probably cost ya SGD6 dollars...
so...if anyone wants to head over here...gimme a holler...i'll feed plenty of information on where to eat :biggrin:

I hear crazy things about the temperatures in Singapore and that you are single handedly destroying the O Zone layer through the trillions of air conditioning units in your buildings you need to function without sweating a pond?

Can you shed light to confirm or crush these rumours?

Its true we have alot of air conditioning units in the buildings...
Temperatures here in the day ae usually between 30-34 degrees celsius..pretty hot by any standards...
But for the O Zone layer thingy...not too sure about that...what i do know is that the government here is actively pushing for eco-friendly solution to combat climate change.
New buildings are being fitted with lightbulbs which consume less power, buildings are designed to insulate heat from outside, thus reducing the demand for cold air in the buildings...All in all...i think we're doing OK with the Ozone issue...but i'll love to see more effort from the citizens here on their effort in recycling and being environmentally friendly...

most embarrasing moment
most you have drunk in one session
longest you have gone without sleep
one thing you regret in your life
the six people dead or alive you would invite to your dinner party
if you were an animal what would it be
what super hero power would you most like

most you have drunk in one session: friends forced me to down a whole new bottle of hard liquor and got totally drunk. almost got tricked into having a "public display of affection" with my wife(girlfriend back then) but was rescued at the very last moment by my friend.
longest you have gone without sleep: 3 days straight...i was organising some orientation camps for the freshmen and went 3 days straight with no sleep, survived by drinking plenty of coffee. after the event i fell asleep for 2 day straight.
one thing you regret in your life: i was offered a chance to go to Disneyland in US with my ex-girlfriend but couldn't do so due to some reasons. Sadly, she passed away there due to leukemia and i never got to see her again.
the six people dead or alive you would invite to your dinner party: Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp, my dead grandfather(really missed him), Elvis Presley(is he really dead?), Arsene Wenger and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew(the brains behind the emergence of Singapore)
if you were an animal what would it be: Horse, love to run around carefree, loyal to a fault.
what super hero power would you most like: the power to "hear" what people think about me, something like the cop in Heroes

I do!
I excelled in the position of a goalkeeper(due to my bodysize :P ), i even went for trials at a club in the local football league, but sadly wasn't selected.
But it was a good experience though.
