By now many of you would have known that the Saints are Super Bowl champions. The New Orleans Saints, carrying the hopes of an entire city, where 85 percent of the city was under water from (Hurricane) Katrina some 4 years ago, rallied to upset the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 on Sunday night in one of pro football’s most thrilling title games.
For those of you who missed one hell of a game like yours truly (the live telecast was at 7am on Monday in this part of the world, and I was on my way to work), here’s the video of the Super Bowl 2010 XLIV Highlights. Don’t miss Tracy Porter’s amazing 74-yard interception return touchdown on a pass from Manning at 5.13 of the video.
Last year we pondered about the consequences if you printed the Internet, and now Twitter has becomes so influential in most of our online existence that someone is bound to ponder the same question.
Cannot fathom who in their right frame of mind would want to do something so stupid and surely doom planet Earth, but what would happen if you printed Twitter?
It is time to bid goodbye to an interesting and eventful 2009. As I look forward to usher in 2010 with hopes and plans for a better year ahead, it is also time to take a step back and reflect on the past twelve months and contemplate those experiences, lessons and accomplishments.
On a global scale, many people were frantically adjusting to living life in a world plagued by a near-perfect economic storm and besides the gloomy financial outlook, it seem like there was an inordinate amount of natural disasters in 2009?
Fortunately, it was more subdued on the home front but no less daunting economically. Job looses abound and for those who managed to keep our jobs, we were faced with wage cuts, freeze and overall reduction in earnings.
Shifting aside these gloomy news, many personal milestones and achievements were accomplished for myself and my families. On top of being blessed with the immense joy my two wonderful children gave me, some highlights in 2009 include attending my first Formula 1 race and cumulating in completing my first ever marathon race.
Short of wishing for world peace (world leaders couldn’t even agreed on how to save the climate), my hopes for 2010 would be for less lives lost and children orphaned through natural disasters, good health always for my families and friends and wishing lots of warmth, laughter and love for my children to grow up in. On a personal note, since I’m still on a high for completing my first full marathon, I’ll challenge myself to take on 2 marathons in 2010!
On that note, I wish you a Healthy & Happy New Year that’s fill with passion, energy and vitality to celebrate life!
The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 results are out and my official timing for my maiden marathon run is 5hrs 37mins. I didn’t hit the time target of 5 hrs I set myself, I’ll have to try harder next year.
Congratulations to all runners who have completed a great run and/or better your personal best time! See you again next year!
