Happy (advanced) 20th Birthday Nana!Aston Villa 1 - 2 Liverpool (FT) edited
DOUBLE BLISS!!!!Met the peeps at Central. I thought I was gonna be early for sure (for once). Haha then I received an SMS from Roo on the way. Reached Clarke Quay station, and I turned right, and I stared at the signboard, it says "Chinatown" and "Eu Tong Street". OK. I thought I was in twilight zone, cus' it didin't look like Chinatown to me! No chinese calligraphy on the floor! So I took the escalator back down to the station again, and I saw the sign to "Exit G". Phew. What a scare. Lol!
When I walked into The Central, I saw many groups of people looking lost also! Cus' most of the would-be-shops were boarded up, under construction. So you can see people reading maps along the way. Woohoo so I'm glad in the knowledge that I'm not the only one lost. XD So I called Roo and she directed me to the second floor, where Manhattan Fish Market is. Finally found it! And we say fireworks from the window at Mahattan!!! Haha so we told Beina it was a special arrangement from us. They happened to be playing My Heart Will Go On XD And it ended as soon as the fireworks boomed its last. How coincidental!
I'm touched that Nana and Yu knew it was Honey senpai I drew on the card! T_T Hahas
Hmm they fired up our seafood platter, and let's just say it doesn't make it any more delicious. It seems more like a gimmick then a culinary enhancement to me, at least. And the calamaris are a whole lot smaller. French fries? I'd say Fish & Co's a whole lot better, not as dry.
I didn't take any pics of the food!!! Cus' I polished it off as soon as they arrived. We asked for more Tartar sauce, and the waiter's damn funny, he filled the entire sauce bowl up and it almost spilt over, it looks like a cupcake really. Haha!
Roo and Bobo filled the peeps up on our Vietnam trip! T_T But I still think it's a lil' over-dramatised lor!!!! >.<
Went off to get a drink to cool down. Weather's pretty warm lately, so folks, please drink more water yeah? Took some pics along the way then stopped by Coffee Bean. It was kinda stuffy in there, so we moved to the Al Fresco area by the Singapore River, Roo and I sorta settled in but cigarette smoke spoilt it T_T so we moved along to our next waterhole.
Hahas it feels like deja vu walking along Clarke Quay! It's like we went back to Vietnam!!! The restaurant staff were asking us to go in and get some food. The only difference? They didn't play the guess-our-nationality game! XD Lotsa indian restaurants there. AND AND AND! I saw a LiverpoolFC-themed pub there!!! There's like banners reading "East Anfield this way" and stuff, and you can see people wearing our jerseys waiting for our first EPL match against Villa to kick off. Ahhh sense of belonging. But alas, I'm outnumbered by Manure fans. XD
We reached Raffles Place unknowingly, so we finally decided on IndoChine. Along the way, we met with a very pissed ah pek. -_-" Hahaha! Coconut!
Reached Indochine! We spent like a looooong time ordering our drinks, so this Indian waiter seems a lil' impatient. Finally decided on Long Island Tea, I know I know, but it's my favorite drink laaaa. X) Safest choice also, value for money, since it's served in a tall glass. XD The peeps ordered Martinis and Mango Margarita for Bobo. Long Island's still my 1st choice. We were sweating like there's no tomorrow.
Rushed back in time for the last train home!!! Haha what to do, I'm but a poor student. Best thing is...I AM IN TIME FOR LIVERPOOL'S FIRST MATCH AGAINST VILLA. Got to see the new boys like Torres and Babel in action. I've a good feeling this season! =D *fingers crossed*
I think the scoreline's gonna stay 1-0 74 minutes into the game. Villa's Young looks impressive. He's my man of the match, yeah over Gerrard, he's got some nice chances and crosses, but yeah Young's impressive. We got lotsa chances as usual, converting them into goals is the key. Well, I'm okay with the performance so far, prefer the first half though, for once. Haha Villa's got lotsa fouls. XD
You'll Never Walk Alone!!!
Okay, pics of the day:
Aston Villa vs Liverpool updates!
After the 1st half, Villa got a penalty 6 minutes before full time and they equlized with the Reds. BUT! Gerrard curled in his almost-gonna-be-trademark free kick into the top right corner of the net. Unstoppable!!! AWESOME! It's the exact same curler he did in the Port of Rotterdam Cup against Shanghai Fairytale! Hahaha okay Man of the Match's gonna be Young (Villa) vs Gerrard (Liverpool) which Stevie Wonder's gonna get for his winning goal at the 87" minute. XD
Ahhh~ YNWA again!
Flagged a cab!
