Dear Diary,
Today shall be a day to remember! After living for 19years, and watched countless matches on television, I finally get the chance to see a real match in the National Stadium! And to add the sense of euphoria to everything, the lions finally win! Surprise! surprise! Especially given the lions tendency to disappoint everybody--remember the 4-0 thrashing by Malaysia. Hence, with a capacity crowd today that had me having to walk one full circle around the stadium before getting in to watch the match, I did not really started out with much anticipation. Just don't lose, I pleaded.. Haha but apparently, the lions had some sneaky plans up on their sleeves.
5 minutes after kick off, or later, I don't know, it was not indicated on the big screen, Indra Sahdan got the ball from someone I forgot the number and he twist and turn and whoala! it was a goal! The whole stadium erupted! and we were all ole oleing! Wow, and I was sitting somewhere near the net! It was incredible, the feeling, I tell u.. Then the next goal came when Indra got brought down by some Indonesian and the referee was pointing to the spot, the stadium erupted again! Penalty! Penalty! and Agu Casmir converted from the spot! The atmosphere was filled with joy and the confidence and assurance that today, Singapore will lift the elusive Tiger Cup!
The match continued and with no vendor peddling drinks around to sell, everybody was apparently getting more and more thirsty, so much so that anyone who walk through with some drinks in hand will be greeted with calls to buy his drinks! Haha it was really funny. Then there was this guy who lost two front teeth and looking like a drunkard, walking around conducting the spectators to sing Ole, but in the end, he got from the crowd BoGay! Bogay! BOgay! Bogay!(to the tune of Ole) He was apparently teased and started conducting the new song! Haha what a joker.
My apparent lack of linguistic supremacy had resulted in this entry being less interesting! ar.. I must be tired.. will update on this event some time!
Until then!
