Another "never say die" attitude displayed by the team. A sluggish start saw us down by 3 -1 in first half but we played a very positive game in second half and came back by two goals. If not one of Adrian long shoot hit the post, crossed the line but bounced out was missed out and disallowed by the referee, we should be managed to tie the game at 4 - 4.
With only 13 players turned up plus Chee Toong sprained his ankle in first half and Edmund's recurrent back pain in the mid of second half, most of the 11 players played full game and hang on well. Richard was effective in commanding the defence and Siew was so industrious in running up and down as left back and right back.
It was great to see Adrian, Jimmy and Simon scored one each after a long time.
Players attended the game : Adrian, Casey, Casey (guest), Chee Toong, Clement, Edmund, Jason (guest), Jimmy, Richard, Spencer, Siew, Simon, Wan.
Scorers : Adrian, Jimmy, Simon.

Alpha Humour - Choosing A Lawyer
A businessman was trying to choose a lawyer, but was being very careful about it. He scheduled appointments to interview three lawyers.
At the first lawyer’s office, after an initial exchange of pleasantries, the businessman said, “Okay, let’s get down to business. I have an important question for you, and I want you to think carefully before answering. How much is two plus two?”
The lawyer raised his eyebrows. “two plus two is four.” The businessman thanked him for his time, and proceeded to his next appointment.
The second lawyer, who was also a CPA, seemed a bit more particular than the first lawyer. After an initial discussion, the businessman again announced that he had a very important question, and asked, “How much is two plus two?”
The second lawyer went over to a computer, and entered figures into a spreadsheet. “According to my calculations, two plus two is approximately four.” The businessman thanked him for his time, and proceeded to his next appointment.
The third lawyer sat behind a big mahogany desk, and smoked a cigar. He seemed rather self-important as compared to the other two, but at the same time appeared to be much more successful. The businessman again announced, “I would like you to answer a very important question for me, before I decide whether I should use your services. How much is two plus two?”
The lawyer pulled the shades, locked the door to his office, and asked in a hushed voice, “How much do you want it to be?”

Alpha Game - Punggol Sec - (09/01/11)
Probably it was one of the strongest bounce back game you would had witnessed in either any international or local football match. It might attract CAD attention if it was a S-League game (especially a few of our fellow mates - Quek brothers and Desmond were on the opponent side)!!!
Down with 4 : 1 in first half, WHO will dare to predict we would eventually ended up as the WINNER of the game when the referee blowed up the final whistle. And the delighting fact was we WON the game by scoring 4 goals and stopping the opponent from scoring any single goal in the next 45 minutes.
We had a slow start and conceded four loose goals but Alex (guest) managed to pull in one goal to boost up the spirit and kept our HOPE alive.
However, second half was a different story. We seemed like transformed into another team. We tighten up the defence, more running, better passing, crossing and kept on putting pressure on the opponent.
With high and persistence work rate from the team, it was not too long we were rewarded with goals - 1 free kick from Kenny and a hatrick from Kent (guest). There were some good run and skill display by our two attackers Kent (guest) and Alex (guest) which produced goal.

Alpha Game - North Vista Sec - (02/01/11)
Thanks to Wan, we had a early kick off for the 2011 season!
Behind by one goal in the first half, we levelled up in very early seconds in the start of second half initiated by a deep peneration drill by Spencer into the opponent penalty box which eventually scored by our guest - Kent.
The opponent scored their second goal but we again tied up the game later by a great partnership between two guests - Casey and Kent.
The No 3 keeper - Chee Toong was voted Man-Of-The Match by his teammates for his brillant save of a penaly shootout.
Overall, we played a good game against a on par and respectful Malay team.
