~Liverpool 2009~

25th July 2009

I met Ming Wai (mw) @ Lavender MRT station and saw Honami, Elieen and Gracia.

We went to Jalan Besar Stadium to see Liverpool get off the bus! They were going into the stadium for their training session. However, when both of us reached our destination, there were only a few LFC fans there. Only then did we find out they had changed the locstion to national stadium! Mw decided to take bus 11 there.

We reached the natonal stadium's bus stop and we strolled towards the crowd. Everyone was outside singing LFC songs and requesting to get in. It was a rather small crowd. After about 20 minutes, the guards set up a spot and led us nearer to the entrance. We were getting a chance to get signatures! I guess the manager or players heard us and kindly decided to show their faces. Mw was really happy, that she may finally get something.

Another 20 minutes passed... Some of the players and Sammy Lee(Assistant Manager) came out sign for us! Mw didn't bring any paper so I lent her a paper which I happen to find in my bag. It was the mid-year exam paper. Haha! Anyway, a boy named Jai really helped Mw alot! He got her 5 signatures in total! Mw was totally excited(although she can't recognise whose is whose! Haha!)! She even got 2 on her TkaMb! She got Dirk Kuyt's signature!

We later headed to Clarke Quay and saw Liverpool!!! We waited on the steps by the river. It was a really hot and humid day, I even got a sun burn! Its terrible! You can totally see two distinct colours on my skin lor!! :( Anyway, we saw them and sadly their boat went to the other side of the river! We followed their boat anyway, all the way to Liang court. We were running all the way la! Anyway, both of us went there and found an empty spot and begun taking photos.

This was when mw shouted Reina, the LFC goalkeeper, and guess what? REINA HEARD MW AND WAVED AT HER! You know, mw was really elated and she even cried tears of joy... I mean can you imagine it? Reina actually heard her and waved to her, she was so touched she had this kind of interaction with one of the LFC players.

Later, we started chasing them. Running and stopping, taking pictures. We were always between the second and third boat. The second boat had Reina, and a few others whom I had forgotten. The third boat consists of the training staff especially Rafa( manager ) and Sammy Lee( assistant manager ). Sammy Lee was really cute! He was the only one who was kind enough to sign for everyone in the morning! He is really small in size, and firendly. Hes 50 this year, but looks really cute.

We end up chasing all the way to the Fullerton Hotel. The security guard didn't allow us to run any further then. So most of us actually went into the hotel itself! Shockingly no one appears to stop us, so we went through the hotel to the other side. But as we got out of the hotel( one with really heavy doors ), mw decided to stop the chase after LFC. She said she had received enough for the day, that she was satisfied. Thus we headed to Suntec City.

We the happened to pass by a Adidas shop with a huge Steven Gerrard( he didn't come )'s photo. She took a picture with it, cause it really looked good. We then went into the store and mw took an Alonso picture. We saw a Steven Gerrard poster which mw like. So she decided to ask for it, only to find out we have to purchase at least $100 worth of Adidas products to get it. Mw persuaded the staff and she actually suceeded! She got it! She was so delighted that she was singing LFC song and htting me with the poster, the whole journey to Marina Square. I really suffered!

We watched Harry Potter and the half blood prince shortly after. It was not bad, but not as exciting as the previous ones. However, I really enjoyed the Ron Weasly scenes. He was really hilarious! We went home after that. Mw said it was the happiest day of her life!

Liverpool Football Club VS Singapore Football Club
5 to 0
Yay! LFC performed really well! Now Dirk Kuyt is my LFC favourite player! However, it was disappointing that Singapore didn't scored anything...

A Lollipop a day, keeps your sorrows away...
