2 days ago(Saturday), i went to
kallang stadium along with some
of my 4A'07 classmates and one of
Albert's friend from his institution.
Towkoon was kind enough to book
the tickets beforehand as it was
damn crowded when we reached there.
In fact, it was already crowded when we
were walking there. We had to walk one
round and then crossed the overhead
bridge before we finally reached the stadium.
As a matter of fact, the displacement was
half the distance we walked..
As soon as we arrived, we grabbed the best
seats that we could find..
Soon enough, the match between the
s'pore veterans and m'sia veterans began.
Too bad Fandi Ahmad couldn't make it for
he was and is still in Indonesia coaching
his team. The game was pretty slow well
because thet are old and their skills are
depleting.
There is one lady about the age of my mum
who kept laughing annoyingly at the way the
veterans were playing. It was as if she's the coach.
She also commented on one of the m'sia veterans
that he was plump and could hardly run..
When he was substituted, many applauded not
because of his great skills and play, but because
m'sia had finally taken out the black sheep
shall i say..
S'pore scored the first goal which was a very
cool and nice one by sundramoorthy..
He chipped the ball to the top corner.
During the second half, the game was pacing
up.. It became more challenging.
One of the s'pore defenders tackled
the m'sian striker from the back and
was awarded a penalty..that was how
m'sia equalised..final result was a draw.
We wished we could bring our own
bottles of drinks but we were prohibited.
probably because they fear that we fans
might throw the bottles at the players
or referees, or even the ball-pickers..haha..
Me and sooraj were dehydrating..
drinks were selling at 2 bucks per cup,
which i could simply get it at the minimart
near my house at $1.50 per 1.5litre.
So i couldn't afford to invest 2 dollars
on the small cup..such a waste of money.
The s'pore fans were cheering for
mark viduka and harry kewell..haha..
because they are the EPL stars..
i guess the s'pore players must have
been disheartened by that..
The aussie supporters were really hyper
i must say.. the moment they entered the
stadium, they cheered and captured
our attention.. whenever they were intervals
and funky songs were being played, they would
move to the groove and began dancing like
wild monkeys..haha..
s'pore players did well during the first half.
They missed many chances to score.
All the aussie players were BIG..haha..
S'pore didn't stand a chance..4 of our players
were injured just because of body contacts.
In the middle of the second half, kewell
came in and everyone started screaming
for him.. and he scored one for australia.
After the match, we supporters were asked
to stay for the closing ceremony of the
national stadium..
We went back to history for some time.
The hosts told about the great things that
happened in that national stadium that
made us proud of it.
Fireworks then began..they were damn
nice..and there was this heart shaped
firework but unfortunately, i couldn't
captured it cuz of camera problems.
After that, a band performed some covered
songs by other bands like U2, etc..
We jumped with joy, moving to the beat,
enjoying ourselves..
WELL, it was really a night to remember.
The memorable national stadium will
be torn down soon..sigh..
[There was this one girl whom i've been
keeping my eyes on at the stadium.
She was sitting a few rows below me.
She looks like an arabian but also
like an israeli..
She's not like some girls who care
so much on their dressing(materialistic).
Her dressing was simple..
She was of course sweet and her
smile was melting me..not really, haha..
I guess she's a PR cuz she speaks a bit
of singlish.
I really forgo my chances that time,
to get to know her..get her friendster
or even number? Haha..
At least make friends with her.
Frankly, that's the kind of girl
that i've been looking for but
situation had changed..
She and her siblings just went off
like that without me noticing..
Sigh..what an opportunity..
