Kop in Kallang


Yes, that was the final score. Really doesn't reflect well on the Singapore Lions isn't it? But who cares on a night that belongs to Liverpool Football Club and US, Fans at the Kallang Stadium, or should i say Anfield! haha...


I have to put my nice flags to reserve the seats for all the friends who are only coming after 530pm!!! See that board which I made, d*rn! was running out of the bubble pen and that's why you see multi colours!

I was there at 4pm! Before I entered the stadium, I actually sold 2 tickets. Let me describe what happened... my sis and her bf couldn't make it for the match as her bf has to work. So I got a bigh cardboard and of course, their 2 tickets, and set up a stall besides the keropok seller. I lay my "Champion of Europe" flag on the floor, then let the cardboard stand as a "A". On the board I wrote-"2 Kop end tickets for Sale". I read my NewPaper while I wait for business. Within 3minutes, I got my first customer, he wanted 1 and asked for the other to be reserved as he waits for his friend's replay. I sold it for $75. For the next 5minutes, fans passed by and stare at my board. Really feel like I am doing a flea market sale sia... The fellow who bought my ticket came back and told me he do not need the other ticket anymore. I thought, oh no... "Will I be able to part with the 2nd ticket???" Out of the blue, this foreigner (looks like from China) approached me and wanted me to sell it for $60, I said "No, $75" . He asked for a small discount, I told him $70 last price and ...DEAL! Yes, I sold both tickets, but at a loss lah, but better than not selling them away right?!


I asked this fan in front of me to take this for me. It was around 440pm and I was still alone there. Hey, look at my yellow adidas sports shoe. Want to know what happened to it? Oh well... the sole came off even before the match started! Sigh ya! Hey all out there, my birthday is in less than 1 month's time...hehehe...


These 2 fans were dancing along to The Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand". I was singing and if I was besides them I will join them in the dance for sure!


Among the crowd were fans from overseas! I saw Brunei and Indonesia flags too! I also heard Hong Kong fans in the crowd.


And yes, that's the goal of all Reds fans for the past 4 days. Alonso STAY! Cos' Every1 LOVES XABI!


The match finally gets ready to kick off but not before we sing the anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone"!!! When we were singing it for the last time last night, I nearly cried... not because of the song, but the thought that if my friend Ziming was still alive and there with me. RIP my friend.


Throughout the match, the ang moh you see on the right, kept initiating the Kallang Wave. Me and Kok Kin got him a Carlsberg for his effort lah. Super passionate and fun!




And before we leave the stadium, some group photos for this "Simply out of this World" night at Anfield (oh I mean Kallang Stadium!)
