If I could fly

I'm back in Malacca. Just thought I'd mention.

Anyway, my brother joined his high school's cheer leading squad (that sounded so gay haha) this year and was taking part in some state competition for a place in SUKMA or something like that.

My mum and myself went to offer our support. Met a whole tonne of familiar faces there; people from my high school and other friends from all over.To cut it short, my brother's team did really really well. They were synchronized the entire time and were very creative.

TOPAZ, my brother's squad

stunts

they ended up champions and the winners for the 'best performance' category

SMK Infant Jesus Convent's Phoenix squad
they came in second and winners for the 'best cheer' category

SMK Canossa Convent, my high school =)

Oh, by the way, have you ever seen penguins cheer? If you haven't, today is your lucky day! HAHA

penguin squad one. they came in fourth overall

penguin squad two. orange black and pink. what were they thinking??

It was good while it lasted

It's official. University orientation is NEXT THURSDAY and classes begin the following MONDAY! =D


Where? Taylor's University College, until I complete at least 30 credits/or equivalent to a year, and then University of Queensland, Brisbane.


Fickle minded me has decided to pursue a double degree. My first major being biomedical science and my second major would either be psychology, medicine or some other random thing. I still have time to decide on that, so every thing's good.

Don't ask me what happened to Indonesia. Pfft.

24 hours just isn't enough anymore..

Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
.
Such a sad sad song. And it has finally dawned on me that..sigh =(

Stoned

Vasanth picked me up at around ten something, and along with Thomas, we went to Asia Cafe for dinner. Met a couple of familiar faces there as usual.
.
After dinner and stuff we decided to go up and play pool. Haven't been there in agesssss. Anyway, I'll leave the rest of the night untold. Bye!
.

.
they had no clue whatsoever I was takin pictures
.
thomas. eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhkkkkkk
.
vasanth. rarely in shorts but yea haha

Worlds apart

Spent quality time with the brother on Sunday, with a random trip to Sunway Pyramid. Chilled and talked quite a fair bit. Evrything seemed to have come up and out in the open. Salty salty.

Oh and I ended up shopping with him too. His fault entirely! Haha. Bought a dress from Forever 21 and cardigan from FOS. He got some jacket thingy from I forgot where hehe.

We were also met my our cousins later on for further fun times. =)

Manchester United Asia Tour 2009

I've waited for this for almost 8 years!
.
the precious tickets
.
We, as in my godfather, brother and cousin, left the house at 2.30pm and headed straight for Bukit Jalil. There was a massive jam, as expected, with many fans already walking to the stadium from miles away. We were fortunate to find a parking spot not very far away.
.
sarah
.
julian
.
ahem
.
Walked forever and got a little lost trying to locate the ticket collection counter. Since we bought out tickets online, the original passes had to be redeemed. As soon as we got hold of the tickets, we made our way into the designated seating area. We had AWESOME seats with a spectacular view! It was strategic seeing that's where the reserves warmed up and stuff. =)))
.
the stadium upon arrival..
.
wat else to do but take pictures?
.
seats starting to fill up
.
don't know why I took so many pictures of the stadium haha
.
Had to wait for about 2 hours for the match to actually start haha. Chilled about and literally deyhrated. I think we had some ice cream too haha. It was blazing, thats why. There were many many rounds of the Mexican Wave as well. Such synchronization in a crowd of 100000 or so. Personally, I found that incredibly entertaining haha. There was also a march past by some random Malaysian squad.
.
after 3/4 of the field, they looked like they were about to drop dead haha
.
I really don't know why I took so many pictures of the people
.
The teams came out early for their warm-ups, sending the entire stadium into chaos. Cheers, yelps, applauses, horn; all sorta things!
.
ben foster. the first man utd player out on the field.
.
then came edwin van der sar. the crowd went wild
.
the entire team came not long after. evryone was insanely excited
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I was mesmerized. Literally. Jaw droppin moments haha. Kick-off was slightly off schedule. To be expected anyway since its Malaysia were talkin about. ;) I really can't describe the atmosphere. Amazing. That's all I can come up with, though it doesnt really justify the actual fact.
.
the teams coming out for the match
.
the classic line-up
.
the sea of RED!
.
first few minutes of the first half
.
sarah. godfather. julian.
.
he lost his sense of direction. the pitch is that way mate ->
.
nani's fumble and tumble. first 'injury' of the day
.
I told you we were very close to the players. heres proof. thats wes brown
.
michael owen *drool activated*
.
1..2..3..strech
.
avid fans by the thousands
.
second half
.
.



ryan giggs' appearance

classic. still going strong

score at 75 minutes. 2-2. not how I had imagined it to be

wide screen shot

man utd dug out

just after michael owen scored the winning goal. scores on the board a bit wrecked

And that was it. The match I had been anticipating since forever, ended as quick as it came. Best experience by far, no doubt. We stayed on to watch the team warm down, recieve souvenier medals, bid their farewell and thank the fans. How sweet.

chillin' after the match

their walk around the stadium

byeeee

the oldER gary neville and ryan giggs trained a little after the match. such dedication to the team *applauses

us

my brother. don't you think we look two worlds apart?

tha camera had some issues. look at the brown spots all over. eee

final look of the stadium

Getting out of Bukit Jalil was horrendous. It took us an hour jus tto walk to our car. Human traffic jam. Crazy amount of people. We stopped by the official merchandise store and got ourselves a couple of t-shirts. Me like. =D

blue blue blue

human cages. we had to go through that tight squeeze just to get to the tiers. definately tight security

I definately, without a moment of hesitation, would say that I had a BLAST! I'll do it again in a heartbeat!
