The day finally came

The next morning. Chelsea match day. I was super anxious and excited as well. Anyway, in the morning we went out for a late breakfast. And, see I have this problem that I cannot not eat. Cause if I dont eat, i'll get acidic stomach due to my high metabolism rate. Yea, so. I was pretty hungry the night before which led to me having acid stomach the next day. Which is not fun at all, I was pretty upset because it hurt a lot. And i was afraid that it would prevent me from going to the Chelsea match. I quickly got some medicine for my stomach. My dad and I went back to my aunts home to rest for a while before my uncle came.

Around 5 I put on my Chelsea jersey and we went to the

train station and got tickets. Who would've thought that the train service there is so crappy that the train got cancelled 3 flipping times. We waited for more than half an

hour and the train finally came. To my utmost horror, the train was PACKED ! Filled with workers and there was literally no space, people were trying to push themselves in but they couldn't. Im serious, you just could not get in! Whats worse is that they only have 3 carriages !

Yea, so we decided Forget it ! There's no way I'm

gonn

a wait for another hour for the stupid train. It was

already 6pm. And i planned to reach there at 6. That was a crazy moment for me. I was really pissed off and I felt like firing cursing words at people. But my dad and uncle was around so. I cursed in twitter. Sorry tweeps. = / I was really upset.

Yea, so my uncle called my aunt and she picked us up. And on the way to Bukit Jalil. As you know It was after office hours plus people were

heading to Bukit Jalil stadium as well. So, the massive jam obstructed us. And we were stuck in t

he jam for almost more than an hour before we got to the stadium.

At the stadium, we went to the gate and then another obstacle. The freaking police wouldn't allow us to bring our food in. We brought Subway sandwiches there. Uneaten, fresh tasty. I haven't had my dinner. Totally ridiculous. We had

to dump everything even my water. Like WTF ?! Any

way, we got in. And thank God the seat i wanted wasn't full. So we got the seats. Sat down, chelsea players came out for a warm up. Th

e crowd went wild ! First person i spotted? TORRE

S. OMG TORRES ! SCREAMMMMMMMMMMM! And then after that they went back in for the line up thingy.

Before they came out, these group of people came out dressed stupidly with armors and stuff and marched across to the center. They looked pretty dumb. =.=

Anyway, after the line up and pictures. The match BEGAN!

The crowd was pretty cool, the atmosphere was great, Whats funny is that almost everyone was wearing chelsea jerseys. But, when Malaysia took possession of the ball. They all started cheering for Malaysia. (Except for me) Owh, and the

noise. Insanity, they got the horns and there was these tw

o guys sitting in front of me. They kept pushing the horns. It was so noisy. And the

y smoked too. =.=

Anyway I was pretty much just 50 meter

s away fro

m Torres. Cause he was the striker so he pretty much stayed at the same place where im sitting at. =D My eyes were on him the whole time.

Oh, and there was this shot where he wanted to do a header. But it failed, anyway. That was so cool, cause it was almost like a slow mo when he flipp

ed his head forward. SEXAY.=D

So yea, Chelsea had possession of the ball most of the time. BUT ! They couldn't get in a goal. Frustrating !

Owh and there was this time when the ball went ac

ross to the chelsea goal keeper side.and it was open and there was this malaysia player running to

wards it. And he was so close to it, out of no where

i see this chelsea player sprint from the middle of the flipping stadium across the other side and caught up with the ball before the mal

aysian player could even touch the ball ! BIG APPLAUSE! that guy could be an Olympic runn

er.BEST !

So 1st halve done. Came second halve and Torres wa

sn't playing anymore. Sad =(

The match continued on and for some reason many p

eople hated John Terry cause when he got the ball everyone booed at him. LOL ! yea so,Chelsea still couldn't score. till the last 15 mins when Drogba had a free kick and they said the g

oal wasn't supposed to be a goal. WHATEVS man, as long as its not a 0-0 match. Im happy. =) After the goal, we went off to beat the crowd. cause 85,

000 people. Going out would be a hustle.

So we went out and walked and walked and walked to the train station. STupid thing was, we missed the bukit jalil train station and ended up at the station after bukit jalil. =.= IDIOTS ! well, aCtly. N0T US...the transportation system is stu

pid. There weren't any sign boards indicating where

to go! yea so, we sat on the train and the

train was empty. There were only 3 of us in the tra

in.

And when the train got to Bukit Jalil station. OMG! A wave of people flooded in to the train. Crammed like sardines. The smell, HORRIBLE ! And thousands more were piling out from the stadium. Insanity. We got off at our destination and went for dinner at around 12am. I ate DOUBLE CHEESE BURGER for dinner. How unheal

thy, because of the stupid police who took away my steak sandwich. F YOU ! ass. =(

Yea, so...the day ended. Took a refreshing bath. And slept with a BIG HUGE GIGANTIC SMILE ON MY FACE !

For some reasons, i think im gonna get in trouble

for

skipping exams. But, come what may. There are times when you have to choose betwe

en two things and have to sacrifice something else in order to reach another. And I think sacrificing mt exams for this is worth it. An opportunity of a lifetime at my doorstep. For me to pass it by would be stupid. So, if i get into trouble by my teachers or whoever. Just know that, I dont regret it. Never will. Kay Thx Bye.

Thank God Chelsea won ! HAHA ! Drogba rules. Even though his free kick might not be a goal. weeee.

Free trainning passes not used =(

Owh, met Nicol David the next day. CIMB bank Malaysia open. Finals today. But couldn't watch. cause im back in KK =(

A dream to reality

So as some of you may know that I went to Kuala Lumpur to witness Chelsea against Malaysia team. It has been a dream to watch not only one of the biggest football teams in the world but also to watch Fernando Torres aka El Nino real life. Maybe some of you know that I LOVE Torres and it was one of my dreams to see him.Well, anyway here goes the whole process of how i got

my dream into reality. Warning: It'll be quite long so bear with me please =)

It all started one fine morning while going to school. Hitz.fm was having a commercial break when they started to announce that Arsenal, Liver

pool and Chelsea would be coming to KL. When I heard it, first thought that came into my mind was "TORRES". Second thing was, KL is so close to where I live! So, the whole day in school i was anxious to get back home and check it out and I did right after i got home.

Looking through the internet, i found the date and time and place and all the details. But what crushed me was that the date they were playing

was the day I was having my

SPM Trials 1. It is considered a very imporatnt exam where you get your forecast results to get into college or what not. Yea, so. I was pretty bummed when i saw it. (I

CRIED) yea, i did. This shows how i really wanted to go so badly.

Anyway, my mum got home and I told my mum about it. And she was like, Oh , you should go ! I was in a dilemma. My sister and some friends encouraged me to go. So, the following night. I checked on flight tickets and found a very cheap fare from air asia for just RM58 two way from KK to KL. And the match tickets were only rm 58 for the free sitting.

After much thought, I decided I just couldnt miss this opportunity and so I asked my dad if he could accompany me and he said yes. =) Thx DAD !

So, we booked the flight and my aunt helped to get the tickets from KL. Just so you know, this was like 1 month before the match it

self. So, it was pretty much arranged very early. They started selling the tickets only on the 30th of May. My aunt got the tickets and guess what came with it. FREE TRAINING PASSES TO WATCH THE

M TRAIN! too bad we booked the flight way earlier than when we got the tickets. So, we missed the training =(

Finally after much waiting, the day finally arrived for me to leave to KL. YAY ! Skipped school and exams and went to KL. Got there and did some shopping at sunway. GOT MY VANS !

Funny thing is I went to the girls section and they only had black and red colored shoes. boo. i was like, NO! and the smallest size is 6 ! =.= I have unusual small feet. So the guy told me, Mybe i should try the kids shoe. I was like im 1

7

okay. Anyway, i went to kids section and they had many different colors and patterns. I fell in love with one pattern and they said the large

st size was 4. I tried it on and walaaaa! It fitted perfectly ! Yeeepeee. So i bought it for only RM 98. cheap eh, thumbs up for small feet people

. =D I got some clothes from Forever 21. MEGA SALE ! HAPPY DAYS.

So the main reason why I got crayons and a coloring book. Is because they came with the shoes. Kids shoes. Geddit ?

Hey, its not the end of the world

So, I admit that I'm a frequent user of facebook and twitter. Have u ever had friends posting ridiculous status on the web touching on the issue of relationships. Seriously, I've never been in a relationship because being someone on the outside looking at how ppls messed up life just because of relationships gone sour. Not very appealing. To me anyways. Yea, so. Gosh, how many times have u seen, I love him/her so much. I can't live without him/her. -.- like seriously? And when they get into a fight ? I hate you. You dont mean anything to me you bastard! Etc etc. And imma be like .. Dude didn't u like say I love you like yesterday and all those lovey dovey bull ? Well, obviously you don't know what love is. And may I ask, how old are you ? Dude, your like.. 16 17 18 19 .. U know what love is ? Even some married ppl find it hard to love their spouses. And you do ? Okay, in bt being judgemental and stuff. But seriously; don't waste your young age, being sad and dissapointed with relationships that didn't work out. Why can't you just try and appreciate the people who love and care about you most ? What can beat that love ? You got to use your brain to think , life does not revolve around having relationships. Being so young, and having a relationship can be destructive bot only to you but to the people you care abt too. I've been there, I was dragged into a messed up relationship and what became of it ? I lost a friend, a dear friend . A friendship I valued the most. All gone, because of some people who was to blinded by infatuation. Not only does it hurt you, it hurts the ppl around u as well. Sometimes even worst. So . Yeah, wondering why I'm nt in a relationship. Because I don't see the need to go trough unneeded troubles. Got enough to worry about . Let me just end with saying, it's not the end of the world. Enjoy life, appreciate the ones who truly love you the most.

Grandparents

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, clear blue interminable skies, flocks of birds chirping unceasingly on the nearby willow tree. An eastern gray squirrel scuttled past and up a pine tree away from a group of boisterous kids running around enjoying the afternoon sun. Laughter and squeals rang through the entire park, it was a blithe moment.

I sat on a dainty laced picnic cloth I bought from India a couple of years back and stole in a large breath as I inhaled deeply. Tranquility and serenity stirred the inner corners of my heart. As I surveyed the vast green field, my eyes stopped upon two elderly couples. They were sauntering hand in hand, eyes glistening and laughing at silly jokes fired at each other. They stopped walking as he turned and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. Her cheeks flushed a bright pink hue and she put her arms around him. Looking at this sight I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of longing and jealousy. However, I quickly pushed the thought away and continued on looking at them as they slowly made their way towards me.

‘Hey ! Had a wonderful walk ?’ I asked my grandparents as they came and sat on the opposite side of the mat. ‘ Yes we sure did and almost got knocked over by a kid on his bike !’ My grandfather chuckled as he wiped rivulets of sweat on his forehead with his sleeves. ‘ Joel Lawson ! What are handkerchiefs made for ?’ My grandmother asked appalled. My grandfather just shrugged as he sank his teeth into a large piece of ham sandwich my grandmother made. It was his favorite and he savored every piece of it. I loved how my grandmother knew every single detail of my grandfather and the way my grandfather could always light up a smile on her face whenever he’s around. No words could ever define how vast their love for each other was and I am glad to be able to share that love with them every day.

I was orphaned at the age of six when a drunk driver took the lives of my parents. My grandparents took me in and raised me up into the person I am today. My grandparents showed me unconditional love and support through their actions and wisdom. Every night they would come into my room and tuck me in. But before that, we would always join our hands to pray. My grandparents were strong believers in their faith and they taught me who God was and the power of prayer. ‘God is the reason why you are alive today my dear, don’t ever forget that.’ My grandfather would always say to me when I was a child. And I’ve never let those words slip my mind.

My grandfather was a man of little words but of actions. ‘Some people can talk great sense, but when it comes to action, they are nowhere to be seen.’ My grandfather always stressed on this. ‘Actions speak louder than words.’ He would always tell me. My grandfather was a commander in the 2nd Infantry Division when he served for Britain during World War II. Back when I was a child, I remember my grandfather sitting on his rattan rocking chair where he would be smoking his captain's classic pipe tobacco and he would always tell me stories during the war. My grandfather was like a walking history text book. After every story he told, there was bound to be a moral lesson to be learnt.

At the age of 84, my grandfather was still up and about doing activities a young adolescent would be doing. He was never the type of person who would sit on a couch staring at the television and sulking over his old age. Instead, he spends most of his afternoons taking hikes and fishing. My grandfather was a prowess in fishing; he knew every little details of fishing. He knew what bait to use to catch which fish. I enjoyed the times I spent with him during out little fishing trips. After every fishing trips, we would go back home with buckets full of fish. And we would have a little barbeque at our backyard where we would invite our friends to come over. It was a priceless time, and a memory that I would always keep.

My grandmother was the sweetest person you could ever meet. Her sweet smile could warm you up in an instant. Though her physical look bears the sign of ageing; but with her ever present laughter and incredible humor, the radiance of her expression still signifies her younger days. ‘Life will never be easy my child. But you must always remember that nothing is too big for God to handle. Whenever life gives you lemons, bring that lemon to God and he will give you a nice glass of the finest ice lemonade drink you will ever taste.’ My grandmother would always say to me whenever I had a bad day.

My grandmother was a great cook. The kitchen was her usual hangout place. Whenever my grandmother cooks, an aroma of mouth watering scent would fill up every rooms of the house and would send your tummies into an orchestra of drum rolls. Even though there was only three person living in the house. My grandmother would cook a table full of delicious cuisine fit for a king. After every dinner, we would be too full to even move. Then, we would talk about our day and share our opinions with each other. There was never a time in the Lawson’s home that you would not hear any laughter or conversations.

As a gust of warm summer wind blew past, the swishing sound of tree leaves echoed across the valley. I gazed at my grandparents and thank God for giving me such loving people in my life. They were the ones who taught me how to live life in a way with no regrets. They were the people who taught me what love was. They are my motivation to go through life each day. And I pray that one day; I would have a life like my grandparents had.
