a few more months and it'll officially be 7 years of watching soccer and supporting liverpool. and yeah, there were so many ups and downs in those 7 years that i wouldnt give up for anything. lol.
back then it was michael owen who attracted me to liverpool. and i've been faithfully supporting them ever since.
in 2005, we got into the finals for champs league. and it was may 2005. i wasnt saved then. but i remember in that match we were 3-0 down and i was feeling so so desperate and lost that i was praying non-stop for the whole match up till penalty shootout. haha. can you imagine?! i wasnt even saved! but then i told God that if He is real, He will listen and answer my prayers. and yes! we won!
and the following year in 2006, guess what? i went to london/liverpool itself! thinking back, that really has got to be one important highlight in my life. it was my first time to Europe and the whole trip was just beyond amazing. and God was so so real! the above pic is taken after the match Charlton vs Liverpool. and i remember crying so many times while i was there. haha. long story. but yes! it was then that i really believed that liverpool is like, a part of my life alr. and how i miss dear london! i loved everything about that city! from that faulty lights in the trains to Harrods to h&m to Topshop! man, i'll definitely be going back!
and right at the beginning, i used to say a short prayer before every match. haha. i would pray that we would win and gain points and all. and i was super faithful then. haha. so amusing right.
oh and in 2007, we went to champs league final again! but this time we lost. and it was like the first time i ever cried. i was feeling so sad! seeing gerrard and co so so dejected and disappointed. and the immense emotion that i cant do anything about it. i was super sad!
you know since i dont know when, i used to buy newpaper faithfully everyday just for the soccer news. and then whenever there is liverpool's article, i'll cut it out! haha. i think i have 2 files for them now. i've stopped alr la. but its super memorable thinking back. i used to cut out every picture and article lei. those that didnt make it to the file, i would paste it on the inside of my cupboard, so that it was filled with pretty liverpool cutouts. and i would spend hours and hours arranging and prettifying it.
and yeah, i still have the whole article, about a few pages long, of that fateful night in 2005 when we won champs league from newpaper. haha. thats like 4 years alr man. its like in boxes now, so i hope nothing happens to it la hor. haha.
i'll always without fail have the stamina to watch 3.45/2.45 matches. haha. even though i may have classes the next morning. hahaha.
and and! i have every jersey of theirs for a few years straight! both home and away! but i stopped collecting since last season i think. so sad right. no money alr. hahaha.
liverpool has got to be one of the reasons why me and my sister bonded so well. haha.
ahhhh. i love liverpool man. :)
i hope that even as i celebrate my 19th birthday this year, it wont be the 19th year without title again. it is time!!
and now i'm so proud to say that we won real madrid 1-0!! yayyyy!
time to sleep now!
