the kop comes to asia 09

wow.. it's been a really cool last 3 days. still trying to take it all in.. haha.
went to cycle and play football after school on friday. really fun!!(: i think $5 for 2 hours on a bike is like quite cheap right? not bad la. haven't cycled at all since last year december.
then saturday was the liverpool singapore river boat ride! went with e-sean to see them at clarke quay. super cool. kept taking photos and videos. i got a few waves too! like from rafa and sammy lee. i shouted the most at alonso. trying to get him to stay haha. then the whole crowd was like running all around the river following the boat! o.O all mad. e-sean and i included. haha! followed it around for one hour. and it was so noisy cos everyone kept shouting. then the last part was quite cool cos we did lots of chants and songs. torres was obviously the fans' main focus cos gerrard wasn't able to make it to singapore. i think kuyt and reina were the most friendly ones cos they kept waving and smiling to the fans. sammy lee too. and i think rafa really loves the fans. great manager. i think some of the players may have been a bit sian cos they probably get this everywhere they go. haha. but only liverpool then the fans will get so hyped up la.
then yesterday went to watch them play against the singapore team at national stadium. uncle gary got us tickets for the north end. so we didn't have very good seats. but it wasn't too bad lah. the atmosphere was quite nice. but i wish we had sat at the east or west ends. cos the places where we sat had lotsa stupid quiet fans. so lousy.. oh ya before the game started there was like one guy wearing a man utd shirt then everyone started booing him and chanted "MAN U SUCKS! MAN U SUCKS!" LOL! super funny. and the whole stadium was red!! but cos of liverpool, not singapore LOL. today's papers said that some of the singapore players were disappointed that we didn't cheer for them more. haha! who cares about them now that liverpool are in town!! wait for tiger cup or something then cheer for them la LOL. the crowd cheered the most for torres and alonso. i was really pleased that kuyt got the captain's armband when carragher got taken off(: yeah good on ya dirk!! one of my favourite players. i chanted for alonso the most. another one of my favourite players(: hope he stays.. if he or mascherano leave then next year's title challenge will be quite hampered. without the two of them gerrard won't be as effective. we'll really need alonso's control of the game plus masch's breaking down of opponent's attacks.. so it was nice that the crowd did super lot of xabi alonso! chants. i was quite impressed that they at least had the common sense to cheer for him the most. though i can't say the same for mascherano. but maybe his name is just too long to chant haha! nemeth got the 3rd and 5th goals. not a bad finsher by the looks of it. if he's as good as they think he's gonna be, then in a few years to come when gerrard retires we could have a torres-nemeth strikeforce which is gonna be really exciting. when torres scored the 4th goal the whole stadium went crazy! haha. even more crazy when they subbed him and alonso on. and that is REALLY crazy. lol. kuyt created the last 3 goals. looks like he's in good form coming to the start of the season(: whoa but looking at the 5-0 scoreline, either singapore is really lousy or liverpool is really strong.. i think cos liverpool is really strong la. haha!
well, it was a good experience(: everything was pretty sweet. the only little blip is that gerrard wasn't here. and the next time they come to singapore i'll get the best tickets and arrive at the stadium 3hrs before kickoff haha! oh and maybe bring a scarf to hold up while singing you'll never walk alone.
oh ya i didn't go school today so i'm staying at home. gonna watch the replay of last night's match plus try to get some work done. haha.
okie dokes. byebye.
