went out with Junxiong & Winnie to catch a movie, GOAL ... i'll be good this time and pay for what i see instead of pirating it ... =)

met up at Causeway Point, and I went to get my sim-card first at the Singtel HELLO shop at the basement ... met my poly course-mate, Bernie, who had been working there for some time now ... after that, i got an ice-cream from Gelate (that's my lunch) before heading for the show ...

the show's great, and if you dun want a spoiler here, dun highlight the text below ya ?

------------------
The show is about a lad named Santiago Munez who crosses the Mexican border into La, America at young age. He's been playing soccer all his life, and that's the thing he's good at.

Santiago get's scouted by Brit Glen Foy, a former football player turned scout, and gets him into Newcastle United for a trial. But there's a problem - his father doesn't approve of it. He finally get's to England after much difficulty, and meets with more hardships and obstacles along the way in St James Park.

He finally works his way up to the first team staring long-side with big names like Alan Shearer, etc ... and also influences a certain football star from his partying ways and to set a good example for the rest of the younger players at the club.

------------------

and what's my verdict for the show ? Total of 8.2/10 points ... I almost stood up from my seat during the "match" in the cinema when a goal was scored, which is rather wierd in a way considering that it's a movie i'm watching ...

after the show, played an hour of pool with Junxiong and Winnie before parting ways, only to have poor Junxiong counting down to his enlistment tomorrow ...

SOMEONE'S GONNA GET BOTAK !!!
