Arsenal vs Cardiff City (FA Youth Cup) QF
Remember a few weeks ago, I blogged that I would have the chance to go to Emirates Stadium to watch a match (if you can't remember, click here), be it Arsenal vs Tottenham or Brazil vs Portugal, which I really look forward to it. Unfortunately, I did not go for the two matches mentioned. For the first match against Tottenham, no left over ticket for general sales (rightly so cause it's the North London derby match). Then the 2nd one, international friendly, i was asked not to go to attend meeting. *sigh* ... n since then i did not blog about it in any entries, in order to save 'face', since i've proclaimed so 'loudly' that I will make it to one of the match :P
As i continue to wait, and do what I usually do, I will click on www.arsenal.com once every few days, to see any tickets on general sale. Lo and behold, Arsenal vs Cardiff City (FA Youth Cup) quarter final match will be held in Emirate Stadium and each ticket only cost £3! Yes, you see it right ... 3 pounds! At once, I started to send out news and invitation for people who is interested! Alas, just now, 5 of us went to the match: Harry (my loyal Arsenal companion), Jacey (although she's my "enemy" who support the Blues, she won't miss the chance to visit other stadium), Rudy ("deflected" Red Devils fan ...slowly converting to be the Gunner, finger-cross) and Candy (who sole mission at the match was to look at cute guys).
I was so proud of my stadium. Maybe it's new, right from the outlook, box office, the Armoury (Arsenal shop), to the turnstile, toilet, gates, even the seat (with cushion) impressed me alot! I can just imagine when the stadium is 100% full with football enthusiast, cheering on the team. No wonder football industry is a big business in UK! I also think of the scene when the stadium is filled with people praising and worshipping God in unison! How awesome and magnificent that would be! :D
Although it was only a FA Youth Cup quarter-final match, the football atmosphere was really there. Many parents take the opportunity to bring their kids to the match (£1 for kids). I witnessed a rather amusing scene, when a young Gunner junior actually sang the supporters song to the opposition supporters. Indeed, a very impressive "football education" to the next generation.
The players for both teams, really fought well to win. These young guns who one day will shine in the big games and become a big gun! I was particularly glad that I was able to see a penalty being saved by the keeper!
The final score of the match was 3-2. We've paid £3 for the ticket ... so each goal is worth 60p! Really a very good deal we've got this time (instead of £20 a goal for Chelsea match, which Jacey n Henry watched few weeks ago).
If you are interested of watching football, (of course i'm gonna source for cheap ticket), please keep in touch with me! You'll not regret it! :D
ARSENAL RULEZZZZZZ!!!
Valentine + Chinese New Year!
Although today is the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, i'm back in college to continue my work already. Nevertheless, last week was really a great week, celebrating Valentine day as well as Chinese New Year! Most of us felt that this year Valentine and CNY are much better than previous years while in UK :D
We had our Romantic CG on valentine day itself. Was surprise that many people turn up :P We had candle-light dinner .... and we instantly understand why couple like to have candle-light dinner, coz in the dim surroundings, you can't really see each other so clearly, meaning all the pimples, 'defect' can't be seen easily! We then split into 2 teams, guys and ladies, for games. Because it's valentine and the guys are so gentlemen, so we let the ladies won the games ......
We then discussed abt the characteristics of our Mr and Mrs Right. Some of the characteristics of Mr Right that the ladies listed out are: God-fearing, same wave-length, caring, understanding, loyal .... which are quite common! For our Mrs Right, we want them to be: low maintenance, high output, can do housework and cook, good mother ... which also sterotype into looking a full-time housewives :P Most importantly, for all those seeking your 'ideal' partner out there, be patient!! Don't rush into relationship (word for an 'old' and 'experienced' me) :D We ended the CG with chocolate foundue ..... left over chocolate from Sunday's Valentine service.
Chinese New Year, my 3rd CNY not spent at home! Don't really feel the CNY atmosphere here actually prior to it .... but really felt so good during the steamboat dinner on Saturday! On Friday, the Hatfield CG and me, we bought so much ingredients from the chinese store and ASDA, even invested in a big steamboat ... in order to feed 25 people! :P Oh, by the way, the CG on that night in Hatfield was good .... where we spent more than 1 hour playing a 'share-your-experience-based-on-the-card-shape' game! Good game to dig out lots of secret :D
Saturday, was in the mood to do spring cleaning of the house ... alas housemates were not really keen, so ended up doing it myself. Anyway, felt satisfied though. People started streamining in around 4pm. Hatfield CG proved themselve to be superior when come to food, especially steamboat! They cut the garlic, sliced the meat ... they are just so pro! By 7pm, most people arrived and hence the feast started! People chatted, joked and enjoyed themselves! For 3 hours, we ate and ate and ate! We then setup the karaoke machine to sing ... when i started singing 'As Long As You Love Me' by 'budak-di-belakang-lorong', all the people in the room playing games suddenly dashed out to see who's singing! Hahah ... so proud actually! My singing can draw people's attention :P
As promised, I sent the Hatfield CG people home. These people were just so high and excited (they didn't have any alcohol). In the van, they were singing on top of their voice, all the way from my house to their house! I was really glad that these people were enjoying each other company and they really looking forward to come every Friday for CG! I am really glad for what God is doing in Hatfield! :D
And last night, after church service, we went to Chinatown to have dinner! Again, we were having so much food and fun! Had so much food, even now i feel so full :P
I'm already looking forward to Chap Goh Mei ... where we plan to have another steamboat dinner! haha ....

Today is my youngest sister, Stefanie Then Wan Jin's 12th birthday! She had a huge birthday party at home, where 30++ people 'give face' and attended, including her tuition teachers. And apparently the theme of the birthday was 'The Princess Party' (i think), even her birthday cake got a picture of one of the princess in Disney cartoon (Cinderella if i'm not mistaken)
Anyway .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Remember, I sang birthday song to you just now already yea! :P
Looking at the pictures, guess what i miss the most?? F-O-O-D!!! Got satay, fried chicken, pizza, red-coloured eggs, icy-cake (you can't imagine how nice the cake in Kuching is) ..... i'll be home soon .... *swallowing all my saliva*
