Season's Greeting

To My Business Associates, Friends & Families
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2006

May God Bless You All with Good Health and Prosperity for the years ahead.

It has been approximately 2 months since my last post, during this period, we have celebrated Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Christmas and now New Year is just around the corner, and the visitors to my Webblog have surpass 1,000 !! thanks for the support.

Softball for me is at the lowest point at the moment due to all the year end activities, and also have been quite busy at work, our unfinish league will resume from mid January 2006 depending on field availability, and after Chinese New Year, Softball activities should be back into action, 1 thing we definitely need is more support and commitment from the Miri Softballers.

My apology also to our Brunei friends for not being able to participate in your Ladies tourney on 18th of December.

Cheers....

Check It Out !!

Check these cool Brunei's softball websites out, they were launched recently and both look great with lots of information and pictures, I was most impressed by the layout and design of Gunners' website, with flash animation and music.

Well done guys !!!

You know you're a softball junkie if...

You need a second job (or your parents do) just to pay for gloves, bats, equipment, uniforms, player fees, batting cages, etc...

Your second job is umpiring at softball games.

Your idea of spending quality time with your spouse is playing on the same co-ed team.

You have more than one bat that cost over $200.

You go to the softball fields on nights your team isn't even playing.

You used to rest and relax on the weekends, now the only rest you get is between games at a tournament.

You think "wearing something nice" means an all-tournament shirt with no dirt stains.

When someone says they are going out of town this weekend you ask if there is a tournament there.

All your white socks have dirt stains from playing softball.

Your idea of a weekend getaway is a two-day tournament in (insert town name).

You have a tattoo that says softball forever.

You plan your summer vacation each year around the state softball tournament.

You own more softball t-shirts than pairs of underwear.

Your girlfriend / boyfriend knows when you ask them out to dinner you really mean pizza after the game.

You tape your bat handles with various designs and use only tape with team colors.

You have a softball website.

Selamat Berpuasa

To My Muslim Friends and Relatives

May the divine blessings of ALLAH....

fill your life with Peace and Happiness

The weather was perfect this afternoon, and we were at the center of attraction today at Miri City Council field, must have had over thousands of spectators watching us playing between 2pm to 6pm, though 99% were just passing by in their vehicles, haha. :-)
Hopefully, with more events like this and the ongoing Miri fast Pitch League, Softball will become a more popular sport in Miri City. Incidentally, an expat approached me to enquire about his interest in joining, and he was promptly recruited by Syed for sunset Batters, we have yet to settle on the introducing fees. ;-)
Yes ! we all had good fun playing against Knights today, and we made more new friends from Kaula Belait. Special thanks to Musrafi and his team-mates, we are also hoping to go to KB to have friendly match with you guys in the near future.

Result are as follows :

1. Oilers Vs Knights, 6 - 9
2. Sunset Batters Vs Knights, 5 - 1
