Change dates
I was reading all my previous entries and i swear i was really disgusted at the amount of mistakes i made while typing. Stuff like 'through and fro...' some of my friends would be lauging thri heads off knowing all these. For those unaware, the phrase i shoud have used was to and fro. There were even occasion when i missed out words that when read could have made me sound like some Ah beng speaking in really broken english. well, I will not change those entries cos I am just lazy and i figured it would take away the essence of a blog that is a representation of the times.
Well...I just realized i skipped blogging yesterday... and that all the dates on my entries are all screwed up as well cos of the date clocked on my blog. So I have changed it and maybe all would be good now.
So i went to queue up for the tickets for the Singapore Indonesia Game on Thursday. The tickets were supposed to start selling at 12 but me and my friends decided that we should go earlier to queue up cos we predicted that the tickets would be sold out if we didnt get there in time. We arrived there at 11 and were amongst the first few in the queue. Thank goodness for that because by the time it was 12, the queue reached all the way to the bottom of the staircase of the National Stadium East Entrance, which I am sure you all know how long that is. In fact i was nt so sure those who queued up on that long queue all got the grandstand tickets, cos a friend went there later and told us that the grandstand tickets were sold out by 1245.
Well, as we predicted, such is the case when our Lions hold the advantage after winning 3-1 at t Jakarta. If Singapore was going to the game trailing the Indonesians, i dont think the tickets would even be sold at such high prices, 12 dollars for grandstand and 7 dollars for gallery.
But i must say it was a truly interesting trip going to the stadium to queue for tickets. There was this weird guy waiting in line with us, errmmmm actually oretending to wait in line with us. He was actually trying to jumo queue ahead of us and the people in front of us gave him a harder time then we did. It was truly hilarious because he was really weird. Imagine a guy dressed in bermudas wit a tucked in pink polo tshirt showing off his belly, cropped like an army recruit hairdo and the nerdiest brand of glasses ever. Its not just his looks, cos he snorts a lot and makes a weird sound. So loud, we were too irritated to ignore. He receive so much flak from us that he had to attempt another queue jump behind us which he ultimately suceeded at doing. At first i sympathised with the poor fellow, but then when we realixed he understood all our jokes, i had to withdraw the sympathy usually given to foreigners and disabled guys who didnt know what was happening.
Him and the spirit seen in my fellow singaporeans especially when the ticketing personell arrived too late made the queue truly interesting. One note i have to express is at how disappointed i am with the organisers of the tiger cup or the administration that is responsible for ticketing that day. I dont understand why they could not have arrived on time to sell the tickets especially when there was a long queue waiting for at least an hour. It is truy unbecoming of any organisation represnting our nation since we boast so much about our efficiency and our first class customer service. Lets hope things get better on game night.
Thats all i will be saying for now. Its 4 am in the morning and i need to wake up early to continue my exercise regime. Yeah its been quite good. Hopefully it continues on forever...although i have a bad feeling it wont.
Good night.
