Well, it’s that time of year when, having bade goodbye to last season’s footie attempts (unsuccessful from Arsenal’s point of view again), we now brace ourselves for the summer - and the inevitable madness it brings.
Barbecues
Ahhh... what would summer be without barbecues, strawberries and cream, ice cream, and Frisbee, to name just a few?
Having a BBQ?
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream...!Summer Flicks
Oh yeah, the summer movie marathon has started with the school holidays end of last month. Pirates of the Caribbean, Kung Fu Panda, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Transformers, Harry Potter...

Er, I said Kung Fu Panda, not Ninja Cat
Batman? Not this summer dude, but next summer. Hopefully the Dark Knight Rises will be released on 20 July 2012 (The Amazing Spiderman just before that and The Bourne Legacy in August 2012)Summer Hols
The summer hols for football players should have started in mid-May but some clever people think it’s a brilliant idea to have some friendly and qualifying matches. Cesc didn’t join the national team; instead, he and Robin went to New York to watch Titi play late last month.

The day before departure. Lukas & Cesc feeling lonely at the training ground. Er, Cesc? Why are you wearing no. 8?
Guess whose bag this is... worse packer than me! 
Ah, the owner is the one in the baseball cap! 
Travelling partner-in-crime 
Got stuck, Robin? 
They were spotted at the Red Bull Arena

A couple of days later, they went to watch the NY Mets 
My Catalan-turned-Yankee Captain!Thanks @KevinHenriquez, @MLS_Insider, @SacirHot, @cesc4official and @Persie_Official!
And thanks Robin, for going on holiday with Cesc, and helping him avoid these buggers.

Summer Sale
Oh yes! Most countries have two major sales periods, i.e. winter and summer sales. Singapore has started its annual GSS on 27 May (which will last until 24 July), Malaysia will start its Mega Sale very soon (15 June!) and Thailand Grand Sale will also kick off on 15 June (and lasting two months). Of course, if you have spare cash to splurge, you can always fly to Europe and shop there.

Ladies, just go shopping on your own or with your girlfriends/sisters. It’s so much more fun than with a guy. Guys, well, good luck waiting for your partners...I hope to be able to get some good deals this summer sale myself!
Summer Transfers
We already know of at least two players who want to leave/will be leaving i.e., Denilson and Bendtner. I can’t say I’m sorry that Denilson is leaving but it’s a shame Bendtner is leaving. Still, it’s hard to see where he’ll fit in if he stays and as he’s still young, it’s better if he heads off elsewhere.
It’s anyone’s guess if Nasri will stay or sell his soul to the Devils. Of course I’m hoping he’d stay but his inability to commit, to make a decision, to adopt a wait-and-see approach is beginning to worry me. Why anyone would want to play with the likes of Evra, Nani and Anderson is beyond me but hey, this is modern football and players are sadly no longer loyal or faithful. Most are driven by the colour of money. Six months of brilliant performance didn’t make a season and if Nasri thinks he should be paid as much as the top earners at the club, well, I’m not sure if we should bow to this demand.
Well, at least young Carl Jenkinson has joined Arsenal (and yes, he’s young but not significantly younger than Phil Jones who’s decided to smear himself in ManUre).
Have a good summer, everyone!
P.S. Yes, I do know that it’s summer all year through in Malaisie.
