So as most EPL loving people know, The Arsenal is coming to Singapore next week for the Barclays Asia Trophy and we've of course bought our tickets to watch that. To add to the excitement, the JSSL Arsenal Soccer School that Josiah has been training with since he was 3+ informed us about an opportunity for 4 JSSL kids to train with The Arsenal coaches & first team players!
The interested kids were asked to submit a short write up of 80 words on why they want to train with The Arsenal and I can honestly say this is the only time I've seen Josiah so motivated to complete a piece of work/writing!

Josiah's mini essay (above) and photo montage done by kiasu mummy to accompany it just to drive home the point that we're true blue Arsenal fans! (below)
So the fantastic news is....*drumroll*...Josiah has been selected for the training! He was so excited he almost missed his school bus today :P Can't wait for next Friday! (We would have let him skip school for this but since it's a public holiday, even better!)
