oh the sense of deja vu!
a semi-final against chelsea. and a potential final against milan! hahaha. this brings back fond memories of 2005.
and fond memories they were indeed. i rmb that we were in camp, all us mortar guys, and we had to take our ippt in the morning. but that did not stop us from watching the finals at 230am! (or isit 130? this i dun quite rmb...)
anywae we had barely started watching when milan scored against 'pool in the 3rd minute of the match. darn was the room silenced. the 3 l'pool fans in the bunk - farid, toh and me were stunned. and it got worse... by half-time milan were leading 3-0 and we were all sianz and gg to sleep. only joseph remained awoke to watch.
but then came the revival. joseph told us when 'pool scored their 1st goal, since all of us were like only 1/2 conscious. i continued in my slumber, but awoke when the 2nd goal was scored. sensing blood, i stood awoke this time. shortly after, l'pool equalised, and the bunk erupted! haha. we certainly pissed off some of the rest who wanted to sleep. but we didnt care! the joy was uncontainable. and the excitement lasted all through extra-time into the penalty shoot-out.
and the rest, as they say, is history. l'pool won the shootout, we made enough noise to wake the whole camp up, then we went back to sleep for a couple of hours. xp
and in spite of only a couple hours of sleep, i managed to run 9:20 for my 2.4 and got gold for ippt. haha. those were the days. now i cant run 12. zzz.
and i rmb tt carrie underwood won american idol that day too... boy was it a day to rmb.
