ENGLAND Ouch!! To all you England fans. Naturally, most in Singapore and this part of the world follow the England team closely due to the exposure of live TV coverage of the EPL. Now the EPL is a highly competitive league but it is made for TV soccer with a tempo different from other leagues or international soccer.  In my last article, I gave you insights that if you have read, you know I was largely correct. I could have taken half of Hodgson's salary and maybe do a better job. Haha.

Many may not understand the true meaning of curry rice as I have experienced it. It is not just curry and rice. We call it ''kali png''.

I used to live with my paternal grandparents at Kim Keat Avenue while my maternal grandparents lived in Jalan Kemaman along Balestier Road. There were occasional Saturday mornings where my paternal grandma would bring me all the way to buy packets of curry rice at this place called Raymond Market.
