AWESOME!! yes babes, it was awesome!!!!!!!! im so so so so so so excited! d Manchester United's Asia tour ws wht its worth! i cant wait 2post abt it 2day. yep, got onhold cz i took a long leave, Friday n Monday, so i had a long, marvellous weekend. n who would've tot dat Manchester United ws gonna play in Msia not once, but twice in one week?? i mean, dis is like OT alredi! (4those who dont knw, ~which i wonder y??~ *OT stands 4 Old Trafford - d theatre of dreams - Man Utd's stadium in UK, ok?). seriusly u guys.. dis is like once in a lifetime opportunity. i went 2d previous tour and they were like rushing here and there. It was a bit hush hush. u dont reli know whr they stayed and all (ok, @least, i didnt), it was pretty much exclusive tour. dis time around i felt dat dis tour is much more 'intimate'. u can c in d papers daily, d mobs of fans @d hotel, they cld get autographs by d poolside, d greetings frm d players themselves.. much more warmth dis time. i felt like they (d team) reli do appreciate us. i dunno, myb d last time, thr were so many 'superstars' in d team. becks, veron, 2 name a few. i mean they were pretty much restricted. not so dis time. k, lemme tell u my experience..
on friday morning, i got a text frm my twin, she told me she left her jersey @my mom's hse (she is renting sumwhr near her ofc). 'wht m i gonna wear 2watch MU?'. n i instantly tot, 'owh well.. here it goes again..' since i cant reply her (i 4got 2reload my prepaid access) i told soulmate dat i bet she is definitely going 2buy herself a new jersey jz like wht she did 4d previous man utd tour. then soulmate n i went back 2his parents' cz we need 2get another training pass 4my cousin. whn we got back home, b4 soulmate went 4d Friday pryr, we tried 2get some rest 4d evening (we needed full charge batt 2scream our lungs out 4d training session! hehe!) i got a call frm my dad. he said thr's a courier mail frm oversea 4me. i got confused whn he said it ws frm Manchester.. i ws like, 'wht?? MANCHESTER??'. wht ws dat? i mean, i dont rmbr having any frens frm Manchester. (i wish i hv! a MU futbol plyr myb. hehe!) then he opened it 4me n voila!! dis is wht it ws :
Pic 1 : d envelope.. ok, dat ws not some scribbling ok, i blurred d address obviously! check out d 'Royal Mail'. hahah! i almost felt i got a mail frm d Queen herself! yep.. neva got a 'Royal Mail' b4, so mind my feeble awkwardness!
Pic 2 : d royal triumph! hehe! so i actually am d lucky winner of another training pass!i totally 4got dat i had sometime ago entered a contest @d Man Utd's official wsite. as u all knw (ok myb some of u knw) my daily morning routine is 2check my mail, then d Man Utd's official wsite n d soccernet.com (in dat order). of course, thr ws dis contest @d Man Utd's wsite whrby, if u won, u'll get d training pass 4d Asia Tour. i entered d contest without any expectation cz i dont rmbr ever b'g lucky even in a simple lucky draw 4some unfancy event anywhr. bt 4d 1st time in my going 2b 27 years in dis world (blimey! i told u my age!), i won 2passes 2c d Man Utd training session! so wht u think of dat?? but its ironic though cz soulmate n i alredi got our free pass n wht's more ironic, it arrived on d morning of d training itself! i mean, u cldnt get a better timing, cld u? bt whteva! i still cant believe it! i later told my cousin dat he cld invite anothr 2frens with him n meet us @d stadium so we can give him his passes.
Pic 3 : d special training pass, all d way frm OT!! im so proud of myself! hehehe! they even hv a special red colored lineyard written 'Asia Tour 2009' with a Man Utd's logo on it. Wht la proevents? why cant u also put it on d lineyard? will look more impressive rite? like mine is!! ehehe!
soulmate n i went 2d stadium quite early. we didnt wanna get caught wit traffic n ws hoping we can get gud park'g space. later we met my twin n abg pesal n waited 4our cousin 4almost 2hours! of course, s expected, meme got herself a brand new jersey, n yes, d latest kit! n u knw wht? it ws 4pm n my cousin ws still in Rawang n tot he cld arrive on time cz he ws riding a motorbike!! we were furious! we heard d roar frm inside d stadium n almost instantly, we ran 2d entrance gate n tried getting ourselves inside cz we tot we missed d Man Utd's grand entrance! but luckily, they were actually cheering 4d Msian team, n we still hv n hour 2go b4 Man Utd's turn 2train. Since we got in frm d green gate, we tot we cld sneak in 2d VIP box 2get a better view. We were running around n in d end we were back @whr we started @d green gate! bcz obviously d plc ws already filled up! since we were alredi tired, we settled in with d nearest plc we cld get, middle of 2nd tier. n wht of our cousin, u asked? his fren's bike got punctured along d way! talk abt misery! bt he managed 2arrive jz in time 2watch d team's entrance.
d stadium ws a flash of red sea. right whn d FRU marched in, d roar ws deafening! n it ws only d FRU! it ws a bit hazy dat day n inside d stadium d view ws somewht blurry. then a glimpse of red shirt @d side of d field shook d stadium even more. it ws actually Nick Coppack, one of manutd.com's journalist, bt everyone went crazy no matter who came out! all dat matters they were d visitors! n d first 2come out ws none other than Paul Scholes. My twin n i went frenzy jz like d rest in d stadium. i ws shouting 'Scholesy!!!' like a mad woman n we were clapping our hands as if they hv just scored d winning goal against liverFOOL! then more came out and we were lost in d frenetic chants of Man Utd's adoring fans! we even 'registered' ourselves 4d mexican wave. i ws shouting their names (Giggsy's d loudest obviously) we were squinting our eyes, pointing 2each players, trying 2recognize them in d flesh, searching 4 d Gaffer n went ga-ga everytime Van De Sar waved. it was awesome! Sometime later i realized dat soulmate ws no longer bside me. I went a bit panicky n turns out he went further in front 2get a better view of d team. we gave a standing ovation aftr d training, all seems happy dat we were able 2catch a glimpse of our fav team in action. It was definitely d best time of my life! (after my wedding of course) it was crazy! bt i reli love d experience dis time..

whn we got home, i had d worst headache ever!! my head ws hurting like i ran into d walls or something! i swear my eyes felt like it ws gonna explode! i went 2bed so early dat nite, my battery went 'kaput!' almost instantly.. so so hepi nonetheless! n 2learn dat they r staying 4anothr match is jz a blast! i dont hv d photo wit me yet. bt will post it once i get it frm abg pesal. he brought d best camera d othr day. hoping dat we got nice shots of us enjoy'g d session!
i read @d wsite, d team is leaving 2moro morning. im not sure whn will they b back here again. whnever dat will b, i wont miss it 4d world. dis morn'g my ofcmates were making foolish jokes abt hw Man Utd cld only manage 2narrowly won both d matches. I didnt care, s long s they won. it seems like they were pretty cautious in the match. n y wldnt they? given hw bad d pitch condition ws. of course they wanted 2gv all they might. bt i dont think they wld want 2risk n injury during dis tour since d season is starting somewhr arnd nx month. pls watch d replay if u hv d time. look @hw d ball went everytime some1 passes it. iOMG d pitch! n nope, i dont think Amri ws a hero. yes, he cld gloat 4scoring twice against Man Utd, but whteva! n no! Gaffer is not going 2buy him jz bcz he scored twice! (they cld've pick a better joke than Man Utd's signing him 2 rplce Ronaldo. seriusly.. its NOT funny!) yes, myb they deserve a pat on d back 4playg d way they did. but no; u can say im not patriotic or whteva u want; pls dont expect me 2b wearing a diff jersey other than Man Utd's n nope, i wont b showing minimal, even d least interest in Msian futbol jz yet. Im sorry. i jz hv 2b honest. they need 2do more 2get my slightest interest (not dat they care). n i wish them gud luck cz i do want them 2succeed in d future. n 2my fav team in d universe, i bit u glory, may we win again dis season, n PLEASE COME AGAIN!!!!!!!
I LOVE MANCHESTER UNITED!!!
