went for the game between Geylang United and Sengkang Punggol yesterday. haven't been to an S-League game in years. i think the last time was way back in... er... 2001? yea. i know. SHAME on me. ironically that last game was also at the Bedok Stadium. the season finale. Geyalng United vs Jurong. Geylang won that game 3-0 i think, and with that, clinched the league title. yea. but in that time, Geylang have become a shadow of their former selves. my dad's bitterly disappointed about it. he's a Geylang fan. funny don't you think? for a Tampines resident to hate his local club side and support their nearest rivals?

as always, we went for makan before the game. barbecued fish. it was just so damn... SHIOK! the chilli had just the right amount of spicyness, and had this sour tang that added punch. damn good.

on the way into the stadium, we met jovin. yea. so we talked. mostly about life-and-death questions. like whether we could get into the stadium for free.

the game was pretty good. played at a pretty fast tempo. Geylang dominated proceedings for much of the game, hitting the woodwork thrice. just when i thought the game was heading for a draw, the referee awarded Geylang a penalty for a handball by one of Sengkang's defenders. Geylang duly converted, and bagged the three points. i thought it was just cruel for Sengkang, to lose like that.

i think, after last night, i might follow the League alot more seriously after all...

i heard the crickets at 11:11 am
