Wanna have a peek at my Photo Gallery?

Well, the above photo is a group photo taken with my year 1 mates, known as "Soccer Gang". In fact, it is due to the Comp Sci soccer tournament that brought all of us together.

Of course, I'm inside too. I'm the 5'th guy from the left. Sort of hard to spot me as I'm partially covered by my friend. >:)
Well, can't see me clearly rite? Dun worry, there's one more photo coming......(scroll down)
Let me first introduce you to all my great pals in that photo..starting from left to right.

More photos on the Ganardians!

Generally, the team was firstly formed in 1989 during their Yishun JC days. Players eventually drifted in & out of the team at some point during its 12 years period. The Ganardians are more than just a soccer team, in fact Ganardians are known to be close on & off the field as well.

The Portugal similar kit picture was taken recently in year 2001.
