First it was Y2K that inspires Prince (or whatever his name or symbol that he now claimed to be) for his version of “1999”… (We’re runnin’ out of time…)

Yet, life goes on…

Then it was the unimaginable 911 in 2001 where the human civilization is under attack driven by terror…

It’s an open fact that I am a Red Devil.

It was in the spring of 1989 that I was attracted by to the footballing marshal of the one and only Bryan Robson, the “Captain Marvel” of the Three Lions. He is not your typical football genius in the like Pele or Maradona or Cantona but industriously driven to cover from box to box with a defined winning attitude (this explains my subsequent liking of another cult hero in Old Trafford in the mould of Roy Keane). He is also not typical in not playing for Liverpool the team of the 80’s. He played for Manchester United, the Red Devils.

Triggering my initial interest in football is one but sustaining my continued devotion to the course of the Devils is none other than the Gaffer, Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been in the Boss for United for the last 25 years and counting. His achievements are so unprecedented that largest stand in Old Trafford is now named after him.

In the last day of 2011, he celebrated his 70th birthday as motivated as ever. He is Manchester United personified and his wisdom is embedded in every thread that weaved the fabric of the club. He is a role model for everything a successful leader is all about and here is a dissect of his many trades among others…

“CAtizens, Assemble!

Once we set our sight to be “Out of this World”, the Moon has always been our most obvious target!

President Kennedy once said that the Moon was chosen because it's HARD and befitting of a real challenge to the ultimate American dream. We are inspired in the same way and made the Moon the first of many challenges to testify the greatness of CAtizen!

As we have finally landed and set our foot prints on the Moon, I have nothing but great admiration to the “CA”lture that each and every one of you has manifested with pride throughout this journey.

… Before

Here I am sitting on a Virgin train to Manchester and I am excited naturally as I am edging closer to my version of 'Holy Trinity'. As a United Fan since 1989, life is never complete without a trip to Old Trafford - the Theatre of Dreams!

In fact, I was telling myself that I will be taking a year off from whatever I do to follow the Red Devils in all their games (home and away) for the entire Football Season. This trip is a good first step for things to come (the fixture even had it that the Blue Lions are in the offering). I am also dreaming for an entire month in Brazil 2014 for the 'Greatest Show on Earth' - World Cup Finals! I know for a fact that when you start taking steps, everything is possible! I am starting to believe that a devilish season of total football is never a dream but a plan to be executed. That's RIGHT!
