Formations, tactics and mind games

Right, I finally found a term to call my spending-too-much-time-online-accomplishing-nothing habit.
Speaking of which,I really do have to read up a bit on my work, and look out for some useful information about my company. This is because I have finally been selected for an interview for promotion.
I've been getting great encouragement from my colleagues and also tips on how to best stand out during the interview. My strategy, if I decide to use it, would be self-deprecating humour. I figure many of the candidates are gonna talk themselves up during the Q&A, so me walking into the room and trying to outshine those before myself would probably fall flat as the interviewers would see more of the same narcissistic attempts.
Of course I'm not gonna be too negative about myself, I just wanna stand out amongst the rest of the pack eyeing the few openings available at the supervisory level.
Perhaps I'll draw some inspiration from Arsenal...
Whaddya think??

St. Totteringham's Day
So after some careful calculations, Arsenal Singapore has come to the conclusion that yesterday's draw in effect was St Totteringham's Day!
Enjoy it Gooners, despite the 2 pts dropped within 2 seconds..

2 live crew
So after watching the match at Liz Pub, where Arsenal drew the Spuds, I went on down to The Pump Room at the Cannery.
There was a large crowd of ang moh celebrating a birthday, with costumes and all. I think without them jokers the place would have been d ghost town. At least, with them around, the dancefloor was packed, and some locals were more encouraged to groove it out instead of shimmying at their own tables.
Jive Talking is the resident band here. Their repertoire consists of mostly top 40 covers, and after you watch them a few times you probably would know what song they gonna perform next. Still they have quite a following, with Addy Rasidi on the electric guitar being the focus of many ladies attention. Apparently another singer Abby gets the ladies hot under the collars too.
Addy came up to shake my hand and we exchanged pleasantries, he congratulated my Sis on her album, and I wished him good sales for his coming one. Nice fella.
They put in their best efforts I'm sure, but I suspect if they can really get the crowd going like last night, if not for the bunch of Ang Mo's on the floor.
It was Dragonfly next. Now this I looked forward to. The legendary William Scorpion was gonna perform, and I was hoping to be well entertained.
Unfortunately I was late getting there, and the band was into their last set. This involved all 3 singers performing on the stage together. There was William, who by all standards was a true performer. He could pick out the regulars from where he stood; giving them high fives, drinking with them(while on stage), and backing up the other singers.
Then Celeste, pretty lady with pretty face and a nice voice. She, if nothing, provided the eye candy.
And a forgettable "Ah Boy" who didn't do much except prance around and posed lots, with his best contribution being to mimic Jay Chou's "Huo Yuan Jia".
Still they whipped the crowd up into a frenzy. And what a crowd it was. Mostly consisting of the mandarin/cantonese speaking party goers, there guys with tinted hair, and young pretty girls in their short skirts.
An interesting night out, watching 2 live performances.
So where have you cheonged recently??
