the 12 people are,my mum,my father sister-in-law,my brother,JiaHou,Fangli,QiuYi,Elgin,Roy, Siew Chen,Jason Ho[brother friend],nephew and myself.The location are near CBD areas,I guess they want to check the turn-out of the taxi fares increasement.

After working at 11pm,came home and start evaluting all the 12 location the average waiting time.

Guess LTA is strictly looking into this matter.

When ur team wins,the old man will smile.

happy faces in the front,sad faces at the back

Once teammates,now rivals.

One good news and one bad news.

Good news is Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield.

Bad news is Chelsea was beaten by Arsenal 1-0 at Emirates.

So sad..
What a chance to be top of the table and Chelsea didn't do their job.
Carlos Tevez scored the only goal of the match in the first half when Man Utd was awarded a corner and Giggs laid the ball to Rooney who take a shot and deflect Tevez boots.The fans went crazy,Liverpool held a disappointed face.

Former Chelsea William Gallas scored the only winning goal for Arsenal during the stoppage time in half time.
