.:Rambling-Nonsense:.*

On my way down to Subang on the Kesas highway today, i saw throngs of car with flags of the Selangor State flying from their windows or on the bonnets. And i went.. "What the fuck?"

I thought people only does that on National Day! Furthermore...they use the National flag! It suddenly dawned on me that, today is the Malaysian Cup Final between Selangor and Perlis.

For those of you scratching your head, the Malaysian Cup Competition in Malaysian football is the equivalent to the FA Cup in England, albeit the teams in Malaysia regard the tournament with a much higher regard than their England counterpart has for their FA Cup.

Anyway, it was really nostalgic seeing the throngs of Merah Kuning (literraly- red yellow) fan out in such force again. I remember a few years back...

...ok ok...many years back...

Watching the Selangor team in action at the Shah Alam Stadium with my Dad, who used to hold season pass into the VIP area. It was kinda like a father and son bonding thing that we used to do, and we both usually end up returning from the stadium sounding as hoarse as JaRule..or however the fuck u spell his name (he cant sing or rap for nuts)..anyway..you get the picture don't you?

I remember a few Cup final nights where our whole family would attend the game.. yes we were really avid fans of the Selangor team although the quality on display may left much to be desired, the atmosphere of the stadium was simply electrifying and would match any soccer stadium in England... In fact, I think the crowd was probably more intense and exciting than the freaking snobbish prats in Highbury. Take that you Gooners!

Ever since the team was relegated and fell from the top echelon of the Malaysian league, the fans; including yours truly, has stayed away. Now that the team is on the verge of a unique Treble after securing the Premier League title and the FA Cup (equivalent of League Cup in England), I wonder if the days of me and my dad wearing Red and Yellow and joining in the carnival and fanfare in the Shah Alam stadium would return.

There's really nothing like a crowd of 77,000 in delirium from watching football live. TV doesn't even come close.. not even if you have 3D sets. Watching EPL matches at large scale Tiger FC venue is close but still far from the real thing.
It would be pretty cool, as both my father and I are avid footie fans and passionately support Selangor, the Red Giants and Manchester United, the Red Devils. Notice the word Red?

Can't help it lar..being a Chinese, there's a natural affinity towards the color...

why, you ask??

[in typical ah beng style] LUCKY LA!! if not what?? bcoz its the color of blood?? blardy fool.. *snicker*

.............................

On a side note- Manchester United beat Fulham 3 - 2 and it was blardy great watching Park Ji Sung.

Step one towards regaining supremacy back from the pretenders. (checked)
Step two, win the blardy Premier League and Champion League (status pending)

For those of you who have been bored to tears by the post...I woke up today and went to the kitchen to grab some food this ~~morning~~ afternoon and instead i found this...

The most humongous banana i have ever seen! holy cow... hang on,i think i hear my phone ringing...

"Hello? ....geez you gurls sure are.... oh what? You simply want to know how big?"

BIG ENOUGH TO FEED A FAMILY OF 4 FOR A DAY!

*evil grin*
