    In what is probably the farthest from Houston CF.net get together I met Univac Hal at in Singapore. Univac is probably the sole Clutchfan living in Singapore on a permanent basis and on top of that has to rely on R2K's videos to watch Rox games.

    Had a good Clutchfans discussion about Rox history, regular posters and firing JVG over some beers at the Wala Wala Bar which I recommend for anyone visiting.

    I tip my hat to Univac Hal for persevering in gospel of Clutchfans even though he is out there on his own and as Singaporeans would say:

    Rockettss.. Verly Good lah!

    I spent the first semester of my junior year of high school at Singapore American School. My step-mom was a lawyer for Mobil Oil and they paid for me to move out there and paid my tuition to SAS which was ridiculously expensive. I had visted there 3 times before. We golfed at a club in Kuala Lampur and I got to take a vacaction to Beijing. I wanted to stay but Mobil transfered my step-mom back and I came back to Houston. So only got to actually live there for 4 or 5 months.

    Singlish sounds extremely comfortable in speech, but just doesn't translate well into writing at all - so I shall spare you guys an unintelligible reply in my patois.. lah :p

    It was cool meeting up with you, Sishir, but I had no idea you were ANTI-JVG.. until yesterday. Tsk tsk. Anyway, as I said, let me know the next time you're in town.. and don't give up on that Surinamese chick, at least do it for the reading pleasure of your ClutchFans brethren!! :D

    8th year in Singapore. I'll hear about Arsenal, Peter Cxck, or Man-U very very often in my office. The sports channels are 90% about football too.

    That's why I spend so much time on this site everyday.

    That's too cool. I never think about meeting up with Rockets peeps when I'm out of town. That sounds like a cool thing to do in a place I don't know anyone else.

    It sounds like there a couple more Clutchfans in Singapore. Y'all should figure out a way to watch the games and have your own viewing party.

    Can lah?

    I'm less strident about it than most but like I said results speak for themselves and JVG can keep the Rox on winning ways I will give him a chance.

    Over 75% of the population are Chinese heritage in Singapore, so I wouldn't be surprise that there are ton of Rocket fans there.
