Pool $2 million Transfer Kitty

I cannot believe that Liverpool has only $2 million left in their Transfer kitty.

Although, money spent on new contracts for Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Daniel Agger and Dirk Kuyt as well as several of Benitez's backroom team, must come out of the transfer budget; it does make sense to secure their long term commitments.

However, the nature and manner of Liverpool's defeat at Spurs, goes to show the paucity of Rafael's squad depth was obvious. We do not have quality and strength in depth. Too many untried youngsters at the substition bench. The worrisome sign is that the squad is depleted thanks to injuries to our three recognised Centre-backs Carragher (head injury), Skrtel (Crack Cheekbone) and Agger (back injury).

On Marriage and reflecting on Wedding Anniversary

Marrige is a life long commitment and vocation.

As my wedding anniversary draws near in two months time, I begin to reflect deep upon the vow that I have made.

I thank God for giving my wife and me another year of life together. I am thankful for the love which has grown and bond us together even closer. I am also thankful for the happiness together and enjoying each other company.

I ask God once again to bless our endeavours and keep us always in our family the spirit of love, peace and happiness.

Reflection on our National Anthem

A lot of us are unaware of the true meanings of our national anthem let alone reflecting on the fact that it has been sung for the last 50 years(from 1959 till today).

The translated lyrics of our national anthem "Majulah Singapura" helps to remind us of our own roots and also brings to mind the road when Singapore attained self-government in 1959.

" Come, fellow Singaporeans
Let us progress towards happiness together
May our noble aspiration bring
Singapore success
Come, let us unite
In a new spirit
Let our voices soar as one
onward Singapore"

(Excerpts from "Majulah Singapura")
