When I was in Shanghai, I was playing in the expats league featuring many ex pros and it was a good experience for me...and coming back to Malaysia I'm sure I'll be turning up for an expat team as well, playing for Asterix Reds...if Andy keeps his word of signing me up..The League that these teams will be playing is The Social Soccer League Kuala Lumpur. I wonder why it is not call Football League instead of Soccer League. Yanks influence I guess..
I checked on their website, www.sslkl.com and to my surprise it boast loads of ex pros and celebrities as well. Some of them are legends to me !!..Got a couple of mates in there too..
Here are a few that I can list out from past seasons and hopefully they will be playing in the coming season as well..
Ghani Malik - ex Malaysia international
Sheldon - Me fellow Reds
Alex Yoong - Former F1 driver
Hans Isaac - Actor
Wan Ahmad Kamal - Legend for me..Scorer of Perak 2nd goal in the inaugural FA Cup win over Selangor. 2-0 down...and we won 4-2. He used to come to my school as his wifey was my teacher
What a cracker from Wan Ahmad Kamal
K.Gunalan - Ex Malaysia international
Aiman Wong
Tan Cheng Hoe - current Malaysia U23 asst coach
Well, if a league have these quality players, even if its called Social League, I'm sure it will be competitive. I am looking forward to it...and it should be awesome playing against these players
Also, I got a call from Wayne ( Wednesday FC ) today and had a good chat with him. Well, when two kaki bola is on the phone, all we talked is about footy..In fact he knew some of my mates and also my dad's mate...Small small world..

Back in the football scene locally
When I was scheduled to be back, one thing that always stuck in my mind is how am I gonna get into the local football scene.
Luckily when I was with QiLin FC, we did went to Malaysia for tourneys and this does help a lot. I get to know the wonderful guys at Little League Malaysia especially Andy and Pete. Even before I head back Andy has contacted me for a meeting and chat about a new project. I think this project will be great..not just for the expats community in KL but also our very own local boys. Once it kick off, I will reveal more.
Although nothing is confirm yet, its kinda unbelievable that Andy approach me to head up this project. Certainly my experience back in Shanghai helps. We have already talk to Bojan Hodak, ex Little League, My Team FC head coach, and he will be on board as well. There are a lot of useful pointers from him as he is a well known figure in the football scene here. We also talked to V. Saravanan, ex national, Perak and currently MyTeam FC top striker. He will also form part of the crew for this exciting project. Even Chan Wing Hoong, ex national, Perak and currently Perlis defender contacted me wanting to be involve. We'll talk more about the project once it beginning to take pace.
Today I was feature in The Star video section done by Chow. Well hopefully this video can be use to promote the new project. It can be a big plus as I have mention before, I am not certified in any FAM coaching badges. Reason No 1 is I was away in Shanghai for the past 7 years thus limiting my chances on getting in any of the courses.
