The year 1997.The occasion World Youth Cup. The team,France. The hero...Thierry Henry.
I was alerted to this prodigal footballer even at that time when he was playing for Monaco FC. The World Youth Cup was played in Kuching. Every one's team was Brazil. But me? I was rooting for France purely because of that young player,Thierry Henry and he was the captain then as well for France.
The France team then too was brimming with talents, Anelka, Trezequet just to name a few.
Admittedly i was not too happy when Thierry finally has a flourishing career at Arsenal, he was one player that i would dearly want to see playing for Man U. Even then i admired his play and temperament.
hierry Daniel Henry, (born 17 August 1977, IPA: ) is a French football player. Renowned for his pace, he plays as a striker for the France national team and English club Arsenal FC.(excerpt from Wikepidea)
A great player and a great personality!!!
The year 2006(or is it 2007?). The occasion Perkim's charity dinner. The star...Hendri Rotinsulu. I must confessed i don't have a clue of who he is.In fact the main star that night was Grace Simon(i think cant even remember now) but Hendri Rotinsulu to me is the real star of the night. He really stole the show.With his fine voice and charming personality he was an immediate hit with all of us.
Even now whenever i feel stressed i would play his songs, a soothing rendition of great songs.
The irony of it all was that i have found that both of them share a day of joy with me....17 August.
Yup..we all have the same birthday.I may not have the skills of Thierry with a football and definitely do not possess Hendri Rotinsulu soothing voice but who cares man!! I have the same birthday with 2 geniuses in their respective profession.
With that fact already established i can certainly sipped my coffee with pride and joy,thank you Henry and Hendri!!!
