♥ LFC!
The Kop Comes To Asia -- a once in a few yrs experience.
so obviously Jia Yu and i grabbed tickets to go watch! :D [okok i know this is long overdue, but got a lot of photos you know!]
the ticket. i was so scared i would lose it that i kept checking my wallet to make sure it was there. haha!
promotional banner and Jia Yu's leg. this was outside the stadium. we wanted to get good seats so we reached there by 2+ although the match started at 7, and waited. luckily we were sitting in the lower grandstand and not in the kop so there werent many ppl there. yet. and we were queuing behind Singapore's craziest Liverpool fan and gang! you know, the one who tattooed all of Liverpool's achievements on his back? he better get ready to add another one now that Liverpool's gonna win the EPL this season :D
back of my shirt, cool eh. hahaha.
outside the stadium:
finally we got to go in at around 4. stupidly we thought that we wouldnt we able to see anything in the 1st row so we went for the 3rd row. by the time we realized our mistake it was too late. :(
spotted someone wearing Useless Keane's jersey! omg someone actually supports him lah HAHA. wont be surprised to see a Man Ew fan wearing Owen's jersey then.
still had damn long before the match started and it was hot and they didnt allow us to bring bottles in and the drinks were so ex so we were almost dying of thirst, so Jia Yu and i camwhored. HAHAHA.
tried being twits but thankfully we failed.

reserve goalies warming up.KUYT!Kuyt is now my favourite Liverpool player more than ever now. he's always smiling/laughing at something!
Jia Yu: Kuyt looks like the type that always make jokes right?
me: yeah, but the jokes he make like nobody will laugh kind.
which makes him all the more endearing! plus the fact that he's so damn hardworking [unlike, say, BERBATOV HAHAHAHAHAHAHA], and setting up 3 goals int his match! woots love him.

and ended with
thank you, Liverpool. :)
