.Old Trafford, Manchester! Man U 2 Fulham 0.
It's really exciting watching our first and most probably our last live football match in England.. We got the tickets rather late so we were really thankful! J and I took a 4 hour train to meet the poor Ryan at Manchester Picadilly Station which seem to take ages. Manchester is huge and I am amazed by the Man U Megastore. Damn huge but the merchandises are far too over-priced. We went there and there were so many fish and chips shop. Bought a scarf each for 8 pounds and we had to push people away with our big bags. haha. Really glad to see Ryan after so long and yeah, the power of love man. A man who scrimp and save in Singapore but willing to spend $1.6K to fly over to visit his gf!?!? You know, when he was here for the few days, he was not even willing to spend a single pound on food! haha.
The stadium is spectacular but the match was so-so. A little too one-sided but I guess the thrill of hearing all the cheers and being able to be involved in all these make the whole match exciting. Moreover, it's MAN U and not some ulu team. haha. Imagine watching Cristiano being booked by the referee live, AND he is damn innocent this time seriously.
Ryan is really coldddd. Look at the fog on his spectacles.
We spent the night at Manchester train station. I did not manage to catch much sleep because I was busy watching those weird people staring at us.. Walked around the Manchester city area and realise it is quite a shopping haven. Damn excitied and I really want to catch another match soon man.
Took the train next morning and Ryan commented Bath is cui. Wth. Suffering from serious lack of sleep, I dragged myself to French class and did a really horrible job in my speaking assignment. Goodness. Met Ryan after that and catched up with him a little. Oh, and I received this wonderful gift from him on behalf of her. Damn touched seriously.. To all those who contributed, a big thank you.
We had a sumptuous dinner at night because it was SUE's birthday and Ryan's welcome party! haha. We cooked salmon and sambal sotong because these were Sue's favourite dishes. We even had Sagria and a little in house clubbing party after that. haha. Happy Birthday Sue :)
The next day, Ryan left Bath for London. Time flies and wish him a safe journey. He should have reunited with his gf by now. haha.
