The Big Three

Ikea Tampines is BIG (first time there, besides Ikea, there's a gigantic Giant and an enormous Courts Megastore just across the road. )! I feel tired just walking through it twice. Spent the entire afternoon there buying some of my furniture, but mainly to assist and advice my dad (who doesn't really listen to me anyway so mainly to accompany him..)

And of course the management are clever enough to place the Hot Dog bistro right at the exit. So walking 2 rounds meant i ate 2 hot dogs (w/drink, only $1.70!) at the end of every lap. 4th time to Ikea (3 to Alexandra branch) this week and by my count this must be the 12th hot dog set they've tricked me (and my stomach) into buying..

Went to meet Zhaoliang and Sau Kit at Kallang after that to watch the Singapore vs Saudi Arabia match. Disappointing crowd and atmosphere at the national stadium. And Singapore played the same old long-ball style again, to no avail against the Saudis (who are one of the top 5-6 teams in Asia and have featured in the last 2 World Cup).

We lost 2-1 which is a respectable losing score on paper but we were dominated the entire game. Can really see the gulf between the 2 teams calibre. Furthermore they had a man sent off in the 2nd half. Our freak goal came seconds before the final whistle. Pretty funny goal. Ashrin Shariff shot a point blank shot straight at the keeper and the rebound just happened to glance his head and drop into the goal (off the post too..).

Let's hope we play better (doubt it) against Australia this Saturday. Didn't bring my camera out so no pictures today.

Like i predicted, Transformers got a poor 2/5 rating (the 2nd opinion gave it a 3/5) in today's Life reviews. The ONLY saving point for the movie now is that the review was written by Ong Sor Fern, someone whose opinions i will never trust. In fact i loathe her reviews. She is the type of person who can criticize an action flick for having too much action. And she always give poor and biased reviews on our local movies.
