hi all
read the following from straits times today, it's damn funny but strictly for football fans only :D
Dear _______
Sir/Madam/Manager/Owner/Fellow billionaire/To whom it may concern of _______ (Manchester United/Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool/Real Madrid/Barcelona/AC Milan/Inter Milan/Juventus/Bayern Munich)
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Sulaiman Al-Fahim.
I represent the Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment, the new owner of Manchester City.
I am also known as the 'Donald Trump of the Gulf' due to my real estate company and my hosting of a TV series in the Middle East which looks like The Apprentice.
However, I would be just as honoured and pleased if somebody considers me the _______ (Bill Gates/Warren Buffett/Don Corleone) of Abu Dhabi.
Let me clarify first.
Although it sounds like it, Abu Dhabi is not the name of a midfielder in Arsenal or a prison in Iraq where people are tortured.
No, you are confusing us with Abou Diaby and Abu Ghraib.
We are a very wealthy emirate, one of the seven states which make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
You may have heard of us - the stadium at Arsenal is called Emirates Stadium and one of our fellow emirates, Dubai, is hoping to buy Liverpool once the American owners there declare _______ (bankruptcy/ insolvency/foreclosure/a fire sale/a suicide pact).
As you are probably aware, we are in the process of transforming Manchester City into the biggest football club in the world.
We are already the richest club in the world, overtaking even Roman Abramovich's Chelsea.
We do not want to boast, but our financial muscle of US$_______ (1trillion/2trillion/3trillion), depending on the price of oil, is more than Mr Abramovich's who, by the way, is welcome to join forces with us as our _____ (assistant/trainee/butler/ jester/falcon trainer).
As you are probably aware, we have just bought Robinho of Brazil.
_______ (Pele/Maradona/Cruyff/ Beckenbauer/Dr Phil) may question Robinho's judgment and sanity, but he is our first superstar at Manchester City.
I can assure you, sir, that he will definitely not be our last.
I am writing to you now because we are very keen to add to our collection to form the Greatest Team Of All Time.
As such, we wish to buy _______ (Cristiano Ronaldo/Fernando Torres/Francesc Fabregas/Kaka/your best player) from you.
He is a wonderful, wonderful player, befitting the ambitions of The Biggest Club In The World.
We are very eager to acquire him as our coaches have already engaged the services of _______ (Usain Bolt and the entire Jamaican Olympic sprint team) to train him to be even faster.
You should be pleased that your player is heading to a better place.
At Manchester City, we call our home New Paradise, we have a former Thai prime minister on our board, and part of our development plans is to include similarly powerful people such as a _______ (president/king/emperor/United Nations secretary-general/
American game-show host) in our committee too.
Please remember, sir, that in our business dealings, money will never be an object, a subject or a reject.
We do not concern ourselves with such trifle matters.
There is no question of how.
Abu Dhabi United Group is used to getting who, what, where and when it wants, and we are very happy to have invited ourselves to come and play with you.
Please name us a price for your player but again, as I have stated, do not be intimidated by the extra penny or two.
US$ _______ (100/200/300/400/500) million will be wired to your Swiss bank account.
If you prefer the amount to be in more tangible terms, we can always throw in _______ (Hull City/Stoke City/Newcastle United/Tottenham) too.
Our manager, Mark Hughes, will be in touch.
If he does not call due to his busy schedule, kindly contact _______ (Kevin Keegan/Alan Curbishley) who is now part-timing with us in view of his recent resignation from _______ (Newcastle United/West Ham United).
I would appreciate if you could reply to this letter soonest.
Bearing in mind that kick-off next Saturday is at 5pm.
Thank you, Sincerely yours,
Sulaiman
PS: Please call me _______ (Donald/Bill/Warren/Don Corleone the Godfather)
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CHONGJINLONG! :D our legend :D first-aid pres :Dqiqi AHEM :D you're OMG finally 17! :D come join us,the 17 year-olds :D woots.
here's a cake for you :D
from your ex-laopo/haojiemei! <333
Hey 33rd!
I'm sure we're all very sian that we haven't got to train together for some while... =) so I'm just wondering whether you all would like to go for the one star kayaking course with OAC. Mr Ling happened to mention to me during our traffic control duty that OAC would be going for it and I asked him whether we could go along. He said no prob, so if you all are interested and have no strong objections we'll remind him again and I'll talk to the OAC sea chief who's from my class. It won't be so soon but I thought better bring it up before I forget. Think it'll be quite fun lah...
We're doing rock climbing with them anyway and some of them might go for the Mt K trip I think. Know we always like to niao OAC but honestly I'm sure we all have friends there lah, so yeah try to be nice. =D
See you all around!
David
hello dearsthis is my first post and my first time using blogspot! i was clicking and realise i have so many photos for tahan i might as well start with JUMPSTART -right from the beginning of the year!
yeah, so while you innocent j1s are having orientation and flirting and dancing, we your seniors were spending days and nights preparing for the orientation hikes, and most of all the publicity -thats where you see all the stickers and brochures, and creatively one sticker has a waterfall picture in it that says 'C'um on':)okay then for the next few weeks you came and went and some came back again and then some joined us. in any case it was a crazy amount of work but luckily we had a great team:) and a great time with you guys too! hahaha so here are some pictures of one of our ORIENTATION HIKES -those who missed it, shame on you!
camwhoring! i thought they two looked alike
<---notice chuan han's lips -i bet he just finished saying 'f**k you' -looks like it!
it looks like you all are havinjg qute alot of fun too!
and if those of you remember that day when you all were at macritchie the APPOLLO FAC HEAD was there too lol. here hes teaching fac dance. okay people, thats all for now. i wanted more but blogspot has proven to be too challenging for me. and for J2s like me, exams is always on mind, so after this i am gonna return and do my differentiation. BYE!
