It was a Destiny in Moscow!
Whatever the score; sorry for John Terry and Avram Grant for feeling the BLUE! Destiny has it that RED Devils from Manchester shall be crowned the Champion of Europe after 50 years of the Munich Disaster and 40 years after lifting the European Cup in 1968 for the very first time.
Fergie is now building his best team ever and it would be really scary in the years to come; with or without certain No. 7! He can don the WHITE of the Spanish Capital for all we care! If his heart is not with the RED, he is not a RED! GGMU!
It’s getting Hot…
… with Euro 2008 starting this evening. My tip is for the MAROON of Portugal and the dark horse is the RED of Russia. Enjoy the summer of football frenzy…
It’s getting Hotter…
… with the drastic fuel hike in Malaysia a couple days ago. Our petrol price (based on the purchasing power parity) is one of the highest in all the net oil exporting countries of the region, if not the world! Watch out for the forthcoming inflation, it’s alarmingly RED now! The WHITE of rice has started it and the BLACK gold of oil has just confirming the inevitable! The GREEN house effect has never been so warm in the “Legend” of Global Warming.
For CA, we are looking at some measures in addressing these issues with the interests of our CA Crew in mind. While we endorse removal of all forms of subsidies to have a level playing field that we craved, the question on the current announcement on the price hike is a question of too late for most of us that are not ready. We now earn double compare to 40 years ago but inflation has certainly done much better than us!
This should accelerate what CA is set up to do in serving the best of our fans with values and attentions. There is no justice if CA continues serving the World! This shall be carefully executed in the most sustainable and GREEN manner.
It’s the Hottest …
… with the warms of humanity extended to both sets of natural disaster victims in Myanmar and China.Through these darkest days of mankind, CA salutes the strength of mankind and celebrates the power of unity irrespective of COLOURS…

Our first round hunt for legal pupils (aka “Chambees”) is now completed. We have Alvin in June and Kalai in July. I am now a proud Jedi Master for two of my very first Padawans… May the Force be with CA! Our next intake shall be early 2009 with Leon joining me at the Jedi Council then!

CA Happening
We are going for Korean BBQ on 20 June 2008 to celebrate birthdays for Joanne, Chye En and Velene; orientation for our first CA Chambee, Alvin and our CA Intern, Tuck. If time permits, we are considering another “Movie Night” thereafter as well. “Kung Fu Panda”, anyone? Kapow!
Last Word
To Josephine and Velene who are both on study leave now until August, CA counts on you to overcome CLP in the true GREEN of CA. Along with the returning of Calvin in August, we shall all line up as your guards of honour to accept the victory march of our CLP conquerors!
