Home Ground - Breeding Home

Take a look at the picture below.Well, just another ordinary street soccer court.
Nothing special.
But it meant alot for us.
It was a favourite rendezvous for the soccer fanatics of 206'99.
It was the place where,

  • we spent our sunday mornings sweating out,
  • we yakked about saturday night EPL matches,
  • Siong Chie got rammed until his hands almost gave way,
  • JunJie hammered a thumping drive that ruptured the soccer ball,
  • KaiJie and Stanley celebrated their 20th birthday,
  • Liu showed off how many push-ups he can do,
  • Liu travelled all the way from Redhill to Woodlands just to play soccer (appreciated),
  • Haw Yng became 'Mac-Float',
  • I broke my right ankle on 1st December 2002

and most importantly,
the place where the blood of 206'99 runs for 9 years!


Recently, we just named it "The Arena".
For some particular reason, i shall not disclose why we named it that way. HAHA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But for some absurd reason, The Arena was never the same again.
For some 'Top Talents' of our nation decided to make something more 'useful' out of this place.
Last year, The Arena was overhauled and converted into a Greenery.
Authorities claimed that the reason for this change was to add more flowerage and greenery to the estate.
Alright, a fair enough reason that one can accept.

But what's so sickening and dumb about this whole thing is as shown below...

More flowerage and greenery?
The pictures speak for themseleves.
Look at that particular plant.
I think it has barely grown a feet since it was planted there last year!
So this is what the 'Top Talents' are gifted for.
Making a mockery out of themselves.
Great! Cast your votes now!
Here we are trying to eradicate Dengue mosquitoes, there we have people breeding them!
And you know what's the irony?
It's the same people who fight and breed them.
That place looks more like a mosquito breeding heaven than whatsoever greenery fuck shit.
The once blistering and fiery blood of 206'99 that engulfed the place, is now overwhelmed by blood-thirsty mosquitoes!
I really don't understand these people.
Hai...

"we lost our home ground..."
