OLE! Singapore's done it! We've beaten the Malaysians! How sweet this revenge. Was in the stands the last time the last time the two sides met in a competitive fixture. THAT very match. It was hard to swallow, and it still hurts la. Even after so long. So to win in the cruellest manner possible (penalties) was just fantastic. Didn't get to be there in the flesh this time, but it still feels so damn great.

Things looked bleak when the Malaysians went ahead early in the second half. It was agony for us fellas around the telly; another painful defeat staring at us. But Ridhuan's goal put back on level terms, and set up a tense half-hour of extra time. With both sides failing to capitalise on their chances, they put us all through the agony of a shoot-out. Man, the most hellish five minute periods in my football life. When Lionel Lewis made the save that ended it all, we went bananas. Just pure relief, pure ecstasy. Revenge tastes so so so sweet. Man, I should've been there. LOL.

You're the vision of an angel. What can I say?
