You'll Never Suffer Alone

2nd Week of 2007
Sat & Sun always passes so fast. Managed to meet up with 2 groups of friends over these 2 days, and watched the Asean Cup (formerly know as Tiger Cup) at the National Stadium (Hmm...why I always hear news of it going to be demolished but still I'm going there to watch football??!!) Alvin seems to be the only person who will watch any Singapore related football matches! Nobody else around me really give a wink to local football which is so sad. But he had made plans on Sat night so I had to go to the stadium alone. Even though I was alone, I managed to be entertained by this ever-shouting female fan sitting behind me. In fact, she was providing the commentary for me throughout the match! But I must admit she was very courageous and trying her best to lead everyone around her to follow her cheer and shouting. The Vietnamese fans covered half of the stadium and the noise they made really impressed me. Once again, I must ask, where's our own fans? It's really not a good sight to see more away fans than home fans. But I was happy to see many Liverpool fans missing their club's match with Watford at 840pm to be at the National Stadium to support their own country!

Singapore donned their new blue Nike kit but it was not a good start as we struggled to hold on to a goal-less against Vietnam. Hopefully, as they get into their stride, they will put out a better performance against Laos tomorrow.

Thursday and Friday seems to be cherished by me nowadays. On Thursday, I was hoping that time will crawl. Then on Friday, I really wish time will just stop! Went to Ding Tai Feng on Sat and met Charlene, Ruth, Lauretta and Desmond. It's been a long time since I saw them. Ever since Cindy moved to the West, chances to meet them has decreased. Not that I am lazy to travel to the East, but daily lives have been almost the same, i.e. traveling to SGH after work. So there's really not much time to hang out in the East. I was surprised to receive Christmas presents from all of them! Poor them, I didn't get anything for them!

Looking forward to the new week. Really have to enjoy everyday and not always looking forward only just to Sat and Sun! (because they passes so fast!) I think having friends to go out with makes me happy and if there's something after work that makes you look forward to, working days won't be such a struggle.
