World Record (Free Style) Soccer Juggling Feats?
All he years since 1986 until recently finally, Eric to agreed he had seen me juggling a standard football 3,400 times in one hour and 20 minutes, keeping the standard soccer ball in the air, without letting it drop on the floor at Woodsville Secondary School in 1986 from the beginning to finish, in different patterns, using my body, shoulders, neck, head, back, thigh, heel instep and outstep except my hands.
Eric recently arranged a gather together with Francis and his family of his children and wife at the Circuit Road market, we took some wefies together.
Incidentally Francis lent me the extra bicycle for the feats filmed and broadcasted in the TV few months before the record breaking feat.
I had made numerous attempts to verify it before.
Guinness Book of World Records could admit and recognise it one of these days base on different criteria or category?

The Straits Times interviewed by Janice Seah
I had wrote to Ms Jackie Chan of the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation Executive producer now Mediacorp to verify my record breaking feats as the 2 tapes which I and my friend recorded, was damaged by mould, she agreed and replied me through email.
The video recording of my amazing (Free Style) football juggling feats and cycling feats had been erased long time ago
It was broadcasted in 1986 in the program World of Sports, Channel 5, Sunday 10 am

My amazing experiences in sleeping in the street
My dad was a bag maker, which at time he earned only $15 per month in the sixties, when I was few years old he passed away from illnesses.
Left 6 of us, my mom, my 3 sisters, my brother and me to fend for ourselves.
We lived on social welfare and picked cans to sell for a living. Many times we survived on dark soya sauces and plain rice at times with an egg.
Than someone teaches my mom how to cook food to sell. Steaming the glutinous rice and yam cakes 2 hours made the room very hot. The heat didn't dispersed until the wee hours in the morning
Even after the cooking stopped, the room still hot with the heat generated around.
I usually avoid staying at home due to the heat by sitting in the staircase downstairs for hours watching the days went by, playing Chinese chess at the coffee shop and catching fishes at the Pelton canal etc.
My 2nd sister after married brought her 4 children to come to stay at our one room rented flat. So at night there were hardly any place to sleep.
Every morning 364 days, rain or shine. I woke up early in the morning at 4 am brought the foods down and push the cart from Mattar Road to Circuit Road to sell. At that time if the estate officers caught us selling foods they might confiscated it.
The heat in the room and worrying about the food been confiscated exacted heavy toll on my 3 sisters and mom health.
Later we got a stall to rent at Sims Drive. Situation improved a bit. After that I am able to buy a 3 room flat.
Sims Drive market
Every night after all my neighbors slept at around 11 pm plus I brought the cardboard and a pillow out to the end of the alley to sleep, until 4 am woke up to help to sell the food.
It is not safe sleeping outside at the corridor of the rental flat. There were constant fightings around the area at that time. Sometimes raining and strong winds I moved inner,. At the end of the corridor which the open air were cooler.
After we got the rental stall at Sims Drive every morning 4 am I woke up, brought the food down to the tricycle covered it with a plastic and put my bike on top of it and my mom sitting behind. cycled to Sims Drive food stall.
After unloading it I will cycled to my school in Upper Aljunied Technical School to study after finished the classes cycled back to Sims Drives to bring back the tricycle home.
Things begin to improve, A master printer who print the Lianhe Zaobao stayed nearby came to my mom stall, encouraged me to work in Singapore Press Holding.
After I started working one year plus I got the good fortune to buy a 3 room HDB flat at 27 years old, which officially end my journey of sleeping on the street .
I worked 7 days a week then with the overtimes and bonus to build up the finances and started to invest, which a colleague introduced me a broker at 30, so I am able to afford to buy a flat.
I regular borrow book to read at the mobile library at 10 years old, which came every Wednesday in Macpherson Community Club building up my knowledges and interest in travelling.
To avoid staying at home I train regularly with my ball juggling and cycling which the medias found it interesting and came to record and broadcasted it. 
At the National Library
Subsequently Singapore Press Holdings called me up for the award. And published my story in the internal Newsletter.

The Yong Wah Radio and Electric Service store, which used to be a makeshift wooden store ran by the mom and her eldest son, I frequently repaired our kerosene stove and tricycle there in the earlier days at Geylang
The pushcart quite similar to the makeshift wooden pushcart, when I was a few years old from Mattar Road to Circuit Road Block 67 pavement to hawk the food, before I went to my primary school
The type of wooden pushcart which I put the foods inside and above it covered it with a piece of plastic
Even after the cooking stopped, the room still hot with the heat generated around.

How I started travelling
My friend James drived me to Johor Bahru in 1986 which is my first time travelling out of the country. The second time is my coworker organised a group trip to Genting Highland to Malaysia in 1989
Undoubtedly Johore Bahru is my most visited foreign states, the next was Batam of Indonesia which I whiched 4 times and enroute to Selat Panjang. Since than I had visited 37 countries
Numerous countries I travelled more than one time, all the countries I travelled to is holiday.
I hoped to travel to all the developed countries around 30.
My criteria for frugal travels are accomodation near the city spectacular view and chinese foods. I used all mode of travels. Backpacking, free and easy follow group tour and solo.
I had travelled to 4 continents
Between 1998 to 2007 I had stopped travelling bring up 2 children

An interesting meeting with the Lianhe Wanbao reporter and the photographer与联合万宝记者和摄影师的有趣会面
Last Tuesday, I finally met up with a Chinese reporter after 33 years. Where 33 ago I had my first interviewed in the medias at 1985 by Straits Times Janice Seah, where most of my interviews were conducted in the English with medias, with the Chinese Lianhe Wanbao reporter this is the first time, which I shared my story. We spoken mostly in Mandarin. She asked me numerous questions about my story, it was quite a long interview lasting around an hour.
It is interesting to note that I was supposed to be interviewed or broadcasted by channel 8 which never materialised in 1986, where I and my friends went down to meet the channel 8 producer at the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (presently Mediacorp), last minute it was switched to the English channel 5, my feats were filmed in 4 different locations in 2 days, at East Coast Park which lined with linear metal poles, Singapore National Stadium, Woodsville Secondary School Football field and Sims Drive children playground
If it was broadcasted in Ch 8 of my skills in free style football juggling feat and amazing bicycle stunts, I had often wondered will my destiny was different if it was broadcasted in Channel 8, the 8 pm varieties show rather then Sunday morning 10.30 am where many were sleeping?
The Lianhe Wanbao reporter and the camera man interviewed me in a variety of topic one hour at 5 pm in different locations and the photographer took lots of pictures.

My amazing story was translated by google:
上周二，我终于在33年后遇到了一位中国记者。 33年前，我第一次接受海峡时报Janice Seah在1985年的媒体采访，我的大部分采访都是用英语和媒体进行的，中国联合万宝记者这是我第一次分享我的故事。我们大多用普通话说。她问了我很多关于我的故事的问题，这是一个长达一个小时的漫长采访。
值得注意的是，我应该接受第8频道的采访或广播，该频道在1986年从未实现，我和我的朋友们去了当时的新加坡广播公司（现为Mediacorp）的第8频道制作人，最后一分钟切换到英语频道5，我的专长在2天内在4个不同的地点拍摄，在东海岸公园，线条金属杆，新加坡国家体育场，伍兹维尔中学足球场和模拟人生儿童游乐场
如果它在第8章中播放了我的自由式足球杂耍技巧和惊人的自行车特技的技能，我常常想知道如果它在第8频道播出，我的命运会有所不同，晚上8点的品种展示而不是周日早上10点30分。很多人在睡联合万宝记者和摄像师在不同地点下午5点一小时采访了各种话题，摄影师拍了很多照片。我的惊人梁谦和
