They say it's best to watch soccer live.
Since i don't have the good fortune to catch either the world cup or EPL live, i shall settle for the next best alternative - the ASEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Apart from MJ's soccer matches, this was the first time i watched a live match, one of the rare times i'm spending hours only with my 2 brothers and if i'm not wrong, the first time the tickets were sold out.

The match wasn't good. I thought malaysia was clearly a better team. The lions were lertagic and rather skill-less. They kicked the ball as soon as it touches their feet and they have problem receiving balls meant for them. Of course, there were a couple of great dribbles but that's kinda expected since they're the national team.

Singaporeans are really hostile and childish at times. They boo-ed whenever the malaysians had possession of the ball and cheered whenever the lions were the one in contro. Whatever happened to fair play and sportmanship? The crowd was so rowdy that by the end of the match, policemen had surrounded the malaysians in an attempt to prevent any fights from happening, i suppose.

anyw, they played till overtime where singapore was tied with malaysia at 1-1 and the lions eventually won in a 5-4 penalty shoot out.

so... singapore to enter world cup in 2010?
well, always aim for the sky, they say. so if we fail, we'll land on the stars.

went to study with hush today.
She has a serious problem. Whenever i'm with her, i'ld either find myself surrounded by banglahs or trying to get rid of ah peks who tries to engage in small talks with her. OR BOTH.
haha..

sidenote: i love cocoa trees's chocolates.
