Foul!

Haresh Says, as published in Mailsport today. JULY 17, 2014 – Melbourne International Airport IT was supposed to be another trip back to Kuala Lumpur for Melbourne-based Azizulhasni Awang. Yet, flying home last Thursday proved to be an emotional journey after the national cyclist and his teammates learnt about the Malaysian Airlines (MAS) aircraft that was shot down by pro-Russian insurgents in eastern Ukraine.  “We were at the MAS lounge when the news broke out. The whole team, including other passengers, were all standing and we were all glued in front of the television,” said Azizulhasni.  “We were shocked!”  A sombre mood quickly enveloped as the cycling team sympathised with the next-of-kin of all 298 on board Flight MH17. “We feel sad for those on the plane and to the family members.

National hockey player Baljit Singh tied the knot with his sweetheart Jesvin Kaur in Ipoh on Saturday. Baljit and Jesvin then hosted a dinner reception for family members and friends yesterday. It was good fun catching up with the likes of fellow journos Aftar Singh, Jugjet Singh and Satwant Singh Dhaliwal. It was also good to meet several folks from the hockey fraternity including national coach Paul Revington and his lovely wife Sandy, Arul Selvaraj and Chua Boon Huat. I bet it was a culture shock for Revington - with the many colours, dancing and singing - in a good way. hopefully.

To Baljit and Jesvin, may you have a blessed journey together. Cheer...
