Plague with flu, cough and a minor sorethroat, I think I'm going to have a hard time sleeping these days. Each night, I would be having block nose and I couldnt sleep well. I think I have accidentally eat too much heaty food that results to this. Alright, it should not be classified as 'Accidentally' but I think I was not aware that's all. Anyway, right now, I should be having extra rest but typing this blog is what I want to do. Since I seldom update my blog these days, Diana and Cindii would be questioning me in a few days time. Haha.. Maybe not but all I know is that, there are so many things happened around me.

Anyway, let me bring you back to Wednesday, which was the last time I step into the National Stadium. After more than 3 decades of history, the National Stadium would be closed to the public. Moreover, that night was the 1st leg of Singapore vs Thailand. Alright, to me, as a soccer fan, there are a few things I hope it would occur. First, Singapore to win that game in the National Stadium, secondly, a full house of 5500 crowd in the stadium, and lastly, a wonderful and exciting match. Before the match started, I was already seated at the stadium around 7pm. As I look around the place, I could see the beautiful view of the sun setting. After that, I walked up to the top of the stadium to have a good view of the people queuing outside the stadium. Amazing view!! They were like little ants entering the stadium and as I looked up, it was the moon. Wow... Ever see the moon and the sun so close before, and it was at the National Stadium?? Now that's what I call amazing scenary. We are not talking an eclipse here but seriously, it marks the end of National Stadium with a unique atmosphere.

8pm strikes and the match begins. Everyone were chanting and shouting for the teams. For me, I was shouting too. As usual, all the vulgarities are heard everywhere. There's one scene when someone threw a bottle down and guess what, that person was having a nice chat with the police after that. LOL!! That was a stupid thing that anyone could do. The match was a close encounter for Singapore as they were draw at 1-1 and what happen next was controversal. A penalty was given and the Thais walked off. An intense 15 minutes waiting and we saw Singapore score the penalty to get the score to be 2-1 at full time. As what I just mentioned, a win for Singapore, a full 55000 crowd and a nice match. Haha... Indeed, Sunday, Singapore won the ASEAN Cup. Thank you for the win. The Thais were good but luck wasnt at their side. Nice play... Haha...

Anyway, Saturday I was playing soccer too. Before that day, which was a Friday, I was suffering from cramps after the basketball game. Both legs were having some tight muscle situation. Hence, Saturday was soccer time and only Eugene, Jonathan, Jimmy and me were playing. The rest were having their exams. Haix... We lost the match, most of them. I only managed to win a match but none of us in the Goal Tally board scored. I think we were just too exhausted after the basketball game, which was an intense and physical match. Anyway, back to the match, I was with Jimmy, Szaywan, Ahnan, Ahnan's cousin and another local guy . We were in one team and we were losing a goal.

I dont know why but I dont feel like losing at all. I want to prove that our team could fight back at level terms. Thus, I was playing every hard. Nan's cousin told me to play hard too and I did try my best. Tackles by me allow Jimmy and Alex to have the ball. However, Alex wasnt doing the right thing to slot the ball into the goal. He missed more than 10 shots, which was indeed a disaster for the team. At one point, the ball hits my gut and to make sure I clear the ball, I just whack it high up. Seriously, if its in Old Trafford, it would land near the penalty area of the goalie. From one end of the court, the ball flew over the opponent's goalie and onto the grassy pitch. Now, lets just say that I'm the 1st guy who whack the ball so high and far away. A new record for the new ball in used. Haha... We lost the match by 2-1.

However, it was a nice match. Although my muscles were tighten up again, I was able to persevere. Moreover, thanks for Nan's cousin, who gave me the praise of a tireless player. Maybe I cant be a Cristiano Ronaldo but Gary Neville?? Haha... Who knows, I'm only good at the right foot position. Right now, my legs are still feeling the numbness. I cant believe it that after a night's rest, my legs were having cramps once I woke up. I think I would need to change my sleeping position?? Haha...

Diana... Dont get bored with my post, since soccer is my life... Hahaha... Hope you enjoy it, at least enjoy the part where I mentioned about the National Stadium... hehe... Smile... I'll rest more...
