Remember I told you guys how my neighbors were a bunch of din-ners (creates a hell lot of noise)? Well, apparently I made a HUGE mistake and blamed the wrong people! T_T Sorry neighbors! =)

I think those workers outside who're attempting to drill a hole through my corridor come from Thailand, it's their way of getting back at us for defeating them 2-1 yesterday at the AFC Finals 1st Leg! Grrrrr~ It's only 8+ in the morning and I gotta put up with MAJOR drilling, and it's like really close by and there are like 2-3 drills (one from upstairs) going at one time. CAN I HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET IN HERE!?!?! Grrrrr~ Whatever they're doing, I really don't want it anymore, yeah no nice tiles, no nice lifts for me thanks, if I'd to put up with all these shiat I'd gladly take the stairs, thank you very much.

Okay, I've plugged my ears with tissue paper and...it doesn't seem to be working -_-" Moving along to the AFC Finals 1st Leg last night!

On the way to the
National Stadium~

Full House again! Met up with Bobo first to book seats for Roo and Yu, on the way we ta-paoed Chup Choy Fun (mixed rice) and drinks (in plastic packets), weee~ and we're all set for the long walk to the National Stadium (kinda nostalgic now that I realised that's gonna be our last walk there since it's gonna be torn down to make way for a whole new Sports Hub). Along the way, we met some very enterprising people, they were selling Ramly Burgers (RAMLY LEH!!!), packets of nasi lemak and curry puffs (the flat version, dunno what you call them) drizzled with a generous serving of chili sauce (ooh lala~ I love anything with chili!). Haha in the end, I didn't get any -_-" cus' naive me actually thought that a packet of mixed rice would suffice!

We saw 4 riot police buses (armored buses) outside the stadium! Super cool!

Weeee~ Reached the 32B entrance! Haha there were many people at that area already, but lucky us! We got back the same seats that we had during the Semis 2nd Leg against Malaysia! GOOD VIEW! Haha I spotted the Lion head (so cuuuute!!!), the drums and then a little while after we finished our dinner, SHEIKH HAIKEL came to the match too!!! You know Sheikh Haikel, the bulky guy with the dreadlocks, quirky specs and husband to Annabelle Francis, the same guy who sang the 'Lar Song', one of the best rappers in Singapore. Haha so cool!!! Wanted to take pictures with the Lion and Haikel but...we were too busy grabbing free clappers/floats that the people were gicing out.

Haha the people just threw them into the crowds and everyone would grab them, kinda fun really. Lol *catch* finally got mine, so cute the clappers, quite an invention! All you have to do is poke this straw (provided) into the clapper and blow into it and *poof* it became coco crunch! Haha no lar, then it's inflated and you can start making hell lot of noise with two balloon clappers! Haha everyone was behaving like kids lar, banging the clappers, but it was all in good fun. But those clappers get lao hong very easily -_-"

Ooh yeah! I spotted more Liverpool jerseys (incl. the imitation ones) than Man U's!!! Haha and I think that our Malay friends can style their hair better, so cool, some of them dress up in skinnies (I mean the guys, girls wear skinnies no big deal) and sneakers with shorter version of Paul Twohill's hair, very GreenDayish!!! I like~ Haha maybe next time I'll go tell the hairdresser I wanna cut Paul's hair! XD

ASEAN Football Championship Finals 1st Leg:

LIONS vs CHICKENS

Roo and Yu finally came, and Roo told us that one of her coursemates is SUBRAMANI'S SISTER!!! Super cool lar! I want Mani's autographed jersey! Roo help me get!!! Then I let you sing to me all you want, hahaha. Then when the Thais came on to warm up we boo-ed like crazy (booing proved to be difficult lar! Don't believe you try dragging the BOOOoooo) Haha our national anthem came on and Bobo and I raised the national flag, aargh I feel so patriotic I think I can go to war for Singapore anytime, haha it's like 983978748648 times better than NDP!!!

Kick-off time~

We got off on a sluggish start, shitty Thais kept time-wasting, like how their Kitty goalkeeper his name's Kittisak, which translates to Kitty sucks) takes his stroll to kick the freaking ball! Shitty Thais kept falling all over the place at the slightest tackle lar, they should go be stuntmen lar. Their tackles were really forceful and at times, brutal, but the *Referee Kayu* M'sian referee so damn kayu lar, so lenient to them! Wanna get back at us for beating M'sia is it!?!

We created quite a few chances but they just somehow didn't work out thanks to a tight Thai defense. But alas at the 17" minute Alam Shah brought us to a lead!!! So now Shah bagged 10 goals in the AFC tournament so far! Haha we want more more more SHAH! =D

For me, we had the upper hand in the 1st half, it was really close but we created more chances. In the second half, shitty Thais equalised when our defense gave way (what a blinding mistake the defenders made lar!) so all that shitty Thai had to do was walk the ball into OUR net, so after that goal some of the fans at the bottom raised the 'DEFEND' banner and we shouted "Defend! Defend! Defend!" whenever the Thais pressed on to our penalty box. The Thais were more aggressive at the 2nd half, and the Lions were a whole lot more lucid, not very alert, very passive, and they kept passing back, keep wasting free kicks with lotsa pattern but no kick. Haha nonetheless we still cheered them on! Shitty Thai fans at one point shouted dunno what and all of us stood up and shouted whatever vulgarities and gestured at them, haha told them to shut the hell up. =x

It was getting quite scary at this point, cus' another goal to shitty Thais seem inevitable with their forceful attacks, Lionel was kept pretty busy, nah uh not a good sight. Thank God he was on form! Then came the controversial moment! One of the shitty Thais brought down Alam Shah, and suddenly, all the shitty Thais came off the pitch, even KittySucks! So only Lions were left on the pitch lar! And the shitty Thais were too chicken/cowardly to take the penalty, they simply refused to step back onto the pitch lar. How can like that one lar, no sportsmanship! Referee's decision be it good or bad, is FINAL, didn't they learn this simple rule in football academy? -_-" Chickens (Thai) actually brought the game to a standstill for 15 minutes, heck it, if it was EPL they'd been slapped with a heavy fine man, disqualify the Chickens lar! Freaking losers, either way also have to take penalty, kao I think they just wanna break our momentum man! Haha so we for 15 minutes all the fans in the stadium were on their feet shouting "coward", "chicken", "go home", "referee kayu", "butoh" (we shouted this bad word again at the M'sian ref whenever we think he kayu-ed us) at the chickens who still refused to get their asses on the pitch! That's so Ah Gua-ish lar!

So, for 15 mins we ignored them, the Lions were having a good time warming up, stretching on the pitch, drinking water (thanks to the Chickens for giving us time to recharge =D) while the Chickens were outside the pitch. We had a good time on the stands too, cus' we whiled away time by scolding them and playing Kallang Wave! Haha so fun, people kept trying to throw paper aeroplanes into the pitch but all the planes kept mayday-ing, all nosedive into some poor, unexpecting bloke down the stands. Haha so cute lar.

FINALLY! Chickens decided to stop throwing their Ah Gua tantrums and stepped back into the pitch, and KittySucks got ready for the penalty, Mustaffic stepped in front to take the spot kick, if you ask me, he looked all nervy and not very confident, so yeah we were a tad worried he's gonna blow it. But boy oh boy, he took the spot kick a la Luis Figo style, you know the running on tip-toes (like how Flintstone plays bowling) towards the ball, KittySucks thought he just run and pumped the ball in so he actually anticipated and jumped off his spot, and Mustaffic responded by pumping the ball into the top right corner of the net!!! Haha 2-1 to LIONS!!!

In the final 10 minutes (it actually extended pretty late thanks to Ah Gua Chickens!), Thailand was so desperate for goal, but too bad, they didn't get it~ Haha ooh lala~ So it was ole ole ole~ all around the stadium, the LIONS came running towards our stand in a row and cheered for us! Haha shitty Thais went to thank the few supporters they have in the stadium. Haha then the police actually barred the Thai fans from exiting the stadium, I think they wanted us to clear off first, to prevent a very likely riot! Thai fans kept taunting us in the other stand lar! Freaking Ah Guas! Ahhhh~ outside the stadium, the melodious victory song ole ole ole~ boomed everywhere, people were still pi pi pi pi pi pi pi pi BUTOH-ing~

The sea of red butoh-ing! Haha touching sight, I thought this kinda mob appears only in the EPL!

Haha damn fun, and I feel patriotic again! Haha we took pics of the stadium, this very stadium that we've watched 3 Tiger Cups (incl this) in, this same stadium that holds many fond memories for the young and old alike, which is gonna make way for the new Sports Hub. I'm so gonna miss it, and I believe many others would too.

Haha oh yeah after the match right, this guy sitting in front of us distributed Hello Panda biscuits, I goped 2 packets, then I saw him again when we alighted at Yishun, sotong me then realised that he's my neighbor (in block 200+)!!! I saw him many times before when I went to school in NYJC, haha he's also from NY lar! So damn coincidental! *_*

Ahhhh~ Stop emo-ing! Haha too bad they wasn't any riots, I was hoping to watch a good fight from a safe distance, haha I only dare to scold them but truth is, I don't dare to fight with shitty Thais~ Lol. But I realised the implications of this controversy, Lions are gonna get it from Thai fans in the 2nd Leg, and with the recent bombings going on in "Land of the Thousand Smiles" (Land of the Thousand Chickens more like), safety would be a key problem for the Lions, worse thing is I don't know if any of our fans would be there to render some support cus' Thai fans are a rowdy bunch man. Pray hard for the Lions during the 2nd Leg! And I swear if they try anything funny at all when we go to Thailand for 2nd Leg, I'm so gonna tear the bloody Golden Mile Complex (2nd Thai embassy) down man!

Please everyone, pray for our Lions' safety and victory!

I seriously hope the AFC committee can consider holding the AFC Finals 2nd Leg in a neutral and safer country (Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam if not in Singapore). Bombings in Thailand is one major concern!

Stand tall like this floodlight LIONS! We'll be stand by you guys in Thailand! You'll Never Walk Alone!
