Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be...

It was simply titled Kallang and the Malaysia Cup: http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2008/10/kallang-and-malaysia-cup.html In 2011, I suddenly felt inspired to expand the topic and I wrote six more articles: The Kallang Roar parts 2,3,4, three other articles with the "Singapore Soccer Legends" garnering the most hits! http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/kallang-roar-part-two.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/kallang-roar-part-three.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/kallang-will-roar-again-part-four.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/singapore-soccer-way-forward.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/11/singapore-soccer-legends.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/12/reviving-singapore-soccer.html Recently, a big local media company even used materials from my blog to feature Singapore soccer in a documentary or something and I did not even know what was used nor did ...

Legends What are legends? A legend is a traditional story or myth, traditional literature or inscription. Lee Kuan Yew is a legend. So was Bruce Lee. You can find legends in business, politics, leaders, music, movies and sports. Legends are heroes of the time, at that time, a moment in history and usually you will find it hard to replicate or reproduce like Jack Nicklaus in golf, England's 1966 World Cup soccer winning team, Brazil's World Cup team of 1970 and 1982. Maradona and Messi are soccer legends of Argentina, Platini and Zidane are legends of France, Beckanbauer and Muller from Germany and Cruyff, Neeskens, Marco van Basten of Holland.  Eventhough Holland did not win the World Cup, the whole team in 1974 were legends.
