The biggest Saturday of the season follows what has been a long five-day wait. There is one thing I can#39;t help but wonder: Will Saturday#39;s Champions League Final be able to match the drama and excitement of Survival Sunday? Maybe not, but the day should bring fun times for fans around the world. Don#39;t worry if the thought of Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich doesn#39;t light your world on fire. Major League Soccer matches and games taking place in France should keep you entertained.

Theres something about the South Side that seems to send schizophrenia through the City Series.

Remember the rants of Milton Bradley and Carlos Zambrano that led to suspensions and exits from the Cubs?

Or Michael Barrett using AJ Pierzynski as a punching bag?

Or the Zambrano-Ozzie Guillen postgame dinner?

But those moments are best saved for the June rematch between the Cubs and White Sox.

Protests? Cubs...

Oklahoma City leads the series 2-0, and could earn its second straight trip to the Western Conference finals Saturday night.

I dont know when the love affair first began. It was so long ago that I actually cant remember the moment I tasted that first cup of tea.

It could have been at a very young age when I detested milk. My mother would let me have, what she said, was a cup of tea. But she didnt fool me; it was mostly warm milk colored with possibly a couple tea leaves.

As a child, when I spent nights with my grandmother — who was much more lenient as grandmothers tend to be — for breakfast she let me have a hot, steaming cup of tea that was the rich color of golden caramel.

I can still see the eastern sun dancing off the kitchen table where she had set a beautiful china cup and saucer...

In a city as stressful as Singapore – where even schools are pressure cookers for kids – its all the more essential to take that break with your children.

According to Expedias Vacation Deprivation survey done last September to October, over 65 per cent of Singaporeans travelled with the family last year – thats more than any other country in the survey, which spans North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia. So, yes, family holidays are actually the most popular sort of holidays for us.

For those lucky enough to afford an overseas family vacation, the question to ask isnt where you should go, but what its for. All too often, a fixation...
