Sch hols past real fast....it's already Thursday and half a morning is gone....

China and Singapore played out a 0-0 draw at National Stadium last night.....it was the first and most probably the last soccer match that I watched at the National Stadium.

There was quite a lot of people.....the grandstand was full of PRC supporters but there were Singapore fans there as well. My dad and I managed to find good seats just directly opposite the grandstand. It was still 6.45pm so we had to wait another 45 mins before kick-off.

I didn't know what the heck was I thinking about cos I mistook Daniel Bennett for Egmar Goncalves and wondering what in the world was a striker doing by trying to play at left-back. I didn't realise it until the match was 30 mins old.

There were chants of "Referee kayu!" every now and then. Whenever the referee issued a yellow to Singapore, Singapore supporters would chant "Referee kayu". Whenever China got a yellow (and a red in injury time), Singapore fans would be cheering. They say that China are sore losers, but they behave like sore losers. Where is the logic? Won't we taught not to jeer at opponents? But there were jeers whenever China's No. 13 touched the ball cos home fans accused him of faking an injury. On top of that, people were shouting "****!" I don't see the China fans doing that, so why are Singapore fans doing that? Soccer in the Singapore mentality? Maybe.....

Soccer aside, it's time to be serious.....MUG
