First of all, thank you to all those who took the effort to register for the contest and predict their Top Four EPL team as at 30th September 2009. However, sad to inform that I have only received 21 predictions from all over the world. Well, maybe this is just the beginning of the season or it could be quite difficult to predict the top four teams due to all teams are challenging enough to be in the top four. Nevertheless, I welcome all of you for any feedback to this contest and I will set up another contest soon.

As at 30th September 2009, the Top Four Teams in the EPL table are as follow:

1. Manchester United

2. Chelsea

3. Liverpool

4. Tottenham Hotspurs

It was almost similar to the original Top Four with only the exception of Tottenham took over their London rival, Arsenal. Well, are we still saying there are ORIGINAL top four teams? I doubt it.

With the 21 predictions that I have received, regret to say that there is NOT even one predicted correctly of the Top Four teams. Of course, with that, there is NO correct prediction of correct top four standing of the EPL table as at 30th September 2009.

Some of the entries left out Liverpool and some of the entries predicted with Manchester City in top four. Other predictions included Arsenal as well. Therefore, at the end, there is no one entry with the correct prediction. and Hence, regret to inform all of you that there is NO winner for this contest.

Nevertheless, I will set up another contest soon and please register for email alert at the right sidebar to get email notification of new contest soon.

Thank you and please visit again for more contest.

For Your Information, this contest is closed. Thank you to all that have registered and predict the top four teams of English Premier League as at 30 September 2009. The result will be out on 1 October 2009.

Stay tune for another contest soon !!!

———————————————————————————————————-

The first month of the newly English Premier League 2009-2010 has just ended. In August, some teams have played up to four league matches and the current table standing of the top four teams as in 31 August 2009 are as below:

1. Chelsea
2. Tottenham Hotspurs
3. Manchester United
4. Manchester City

Out of the so-called original Top Four teams, Liverpool and Arsenal are not in Top four standing now. Of course, this is just the beginning and there are still long way to go until the final weeks in May next year 2010.

So far, have you predicted correctly of the current standing?  Is your favorite team one of the top four now? Who would think that Tottenham started so well with 100% winning record at this moment? Surely Chelsea is still the strongest team and therefore they are sitting at the top now. With so much money spent on new players, Manchester City would not want to lose out to be in Top Four. If not, surely Mark Hughes will lose his job by now.

However, Liverpool and Arsenal are not far behind and they are just below the surprise package, Stoke City which is at 5^th place now. Surely, Arsenal and Liverpool can catch up and they will be greatly challenge all the way to the top four.

Now, my challenge to you is, which teams will be the top four teams at the end of September 2009? Will the current top four teams still remain the same and at the same positions? Will you think that Liverpool and Arsenal will join back Chelsea and Manchester United to be the top four teams? Or will there be a surprise package such as Sunderland and Burnley to be among the top four at the end of September 2009?

Based on the league schedules, all teams are expected to play for another 3 to 4 league matches subject to any postponement due to their hectic busy schedule.

Hong Kong movie star, Chow Sing Chi (aka Stephen Chow) is one of my favorite movie stars that I like to watch. He is a comedian and his films of ridiculous funny characters and dialogs can make everyone feel happy while watching him. He has tried his best from his humble beginning of acting until he achieved his biggest achievement of best director award.

Recently I found a lookalike Chow Sing Chi in a small town of Simpang Pulai, just outside the big city of Ipoh in Malaysia.

1. Although he is very young, about 16 years old, much very younger than the real Chow Sing Chi, but I thought that both of them almost have similar face. Well, maybe not very similar, but at least ALMOST. However, he claimed that he is much taller than the real Chow Sing Chi.

2. I have interviewed this lookalike Chow Sing Chi and his name is Ho Min Shen and he is still studying in a local secondary school. His ambitious is to be a superstar like Chow Sing Chi and he loves Kung Fu as well like Bruce Lee, similar to the interest of the real Chow.

3. Here are the comparison of the photos of both the lookalike and the real Chow Sing Chi.

 4. If anyone would like to hire a stuntman for Chow Sing Chi, this is the one maybe you can consider. He is young, energetic and willing to learn.

5. If anyone would like to hire a lookalike for Chow Sing Chi to appear in their events or shows, let me know. E-mail me at victor@victorwan.com.

As of today’s latest news (15 Aug 09), more than 50 deaths have been reported in Malaysia due to the infection and spreading of Influenza A (H1N1) disease. However, by looking at the situation, it seems that the Malaysian attitude towards this disease is like as thought that it is just like nobody’s business.

1. In Mumbai, India, they have closed all the schools and cinemas after the confirmation of 15 deaths. The figure there is just 15 and they are serious about tackling and controlling the situation. But in Malaysia, it seems that the government still thinks that the situation here is in control and no need to be panic at this moment.

2. In Malaysia, every family has children and babies as well as senior citizen. These are the people afraid of getting the disease. With the government only announcing the numbers of people infected and the number of deaths, they should do more than that. They should announce where the infected areas are so that we can take precaution such as not going to the infected area.  Every day we take public transport to work and go home. We are facing so many people, touch the same thing around us and go to the same area we hang out to and the maximum precaution we can do is to wash our hands every time we reach office and also reach home. Looking at these, it seems that everywhere is infected area. So, where can we go now? Well, better stay at home. This is because every time we reached home, we do not know whether we have been infected or not. HOPEFULLY NOT!!!

3. Wearing a mask is one way for precaution but when you wear a mask and walk around outside, everyone will look at you like a crazy “kiasu” weirdo and then make you feel very uncomfortable of wearing it. But somehow, that is just a way to protect the family from infection.

4. My son was sick last week with fever and cough that similar to the H1N1 symptoms. Fortunately, he managed to overcome it and got well afterwards. Then, we heard from his school that many students were sick and absent from classes. The most shocking news was that there was a reported Standard 4 student confirmed with H1N1. Whether it was true or not, the government and the schools must take action to treat this H1N1 seriously. Announce where are the active places NOT to go and BAN this area. But I guess…………everywhere is not safe………….not only because of H1N1………..but of high crime rate as well.
