For You, Sir

Berita Harian today portrays Mr. Liew Yong Choon as the man behind the success of the CAGERS for decades.

A coach, a teacher, and more than anything else, a father to the CAGERS family, he is apparently the crux behind success stories of the CAGERS who has been dominant in the past three decades.

Please forgive me for being too busy to jot down a little bit more. I found this picture rather excellent in explaining what I felt anyhow.

That is him, wrapping the bandage around my right ankle which got injured on the last day of training. Damn. This is just before the semifinal game in 2005 if I am not mistaken. Now who can tell me, if there is any other coach he/she knows that is willing to get hold of the foot of his own player? The fact that I find rather amusing in this man is that he imperturbably breaks the racial barrier with anyone he meets, and in doing so he displays the true gist of humanity, setting up a perfect example for all of us the CAGERS particularly. Personally, I learnt a lot from him.

Indeed, it is great to hear that a man of his pedigree is finally given this due recognition.

All Hails CAGERS '07

I was on my way to the Roundhouse for the scrumptious pizza for lunch today when I received a short text message from Geto who was in the Kota Tinggi for PPM that reads:

‘Won 103-62’

Well done CAGERS ’07. We did it again, in sheer style. If anyone deems that last year’s record breaking 44-point margin final game win was too great to surpass, this year’s team has proven that there is always some other means to slot in their name in the record book. What better way to end a tournament and stamp in their mark as a true champion other than smashing the 100-point mark in the final game? Splendid.

One could probably argue that the Shohoku-like win in 2004 was plainly down to luck, and the subsequent year’s one which was my year was not that spectacular. But the two recent wins must have thrown all those doubters back to their seats of silence. Four PHTs on the trot, only one to go to bring an end to the target set at the commencement of the Quest4Glory Project on an impeccable note.
