I'm sooo bored at home.. damn.. although blogging's my hobby, i dun wanna stay at home doing this the whole day! argh. nvm at least i've got something to talk about.

Yesterday was hell of a time. after my relative's wedding thingy, i rushed down to kallang to meet my friends at the national stadium to watch the tiger cup semis: singapore vs myanmar. we waited for 1 hour inside d stadium for d game to start, but d waiting was very very worthwhile, as we saw a spectacle not common in football. every essence of football was present inside this game and d amount of goals also dint disappoint. when i arrived inside d stadium, i saw ewen, wilson and gang. they pointed to where eugene and gang was sitting and so i went over to join them there. it was raining rather heavily n d pitch was waterlogged. it isnt as easy to judge the movement and bounce of the ball in these situations so i prayed hard that the players making d judging mistakes would be the myanmarmese.

the match started n d players were starting to get dirty. the myanmarmese players scored d 1st goal, much to d dismay of the 30000 strong spectators. d 1st half wasnt very exciting and it ended very quickly. d second half was a whole different story. tackles flew in n fights soon evolved. while singapore were losing 2-1 in the 89th minute, indra got bodychecked by a myanmar defender and earned a penalty for Singapore. d defender kena sent off, n the whole myanmar team become incensed. 1 stupid fellow kicked mud at the referees and he too, kena sent off. so it became 11 men vs 8 men. the penalty taken by indra hit the post and went wide. every1 'cept d myanmar supporters were disappointed. as d full-time agg. score was a tie, the match went into extra time. there the drama unfolded. myanmar sub. keeper threw a pplastic bottle full of water at subrimani n he kena cut on the ear. the impact was damn great. but den, d keeper kena sent off. it was so stupid. by that time singapore was leading by 4 goals to 2. the fans were singing for myanmar to go home and at that moment, fighting in the stands ensued. after the game all of us had to run out of the stadium in fear that the myanmarmese fans would kill us or something. in d end nth happened, only some ambulance and police cars arrived to control the situation. d best thing was that singapore are thru to the finals and every1 are happy. this game will be remembered for a very long time....
