Tong Hai wished me Happy Birthday!!!

Yes, I know I sound totally like a fan girl, but then again, that was really the turning point of my an otherwise horrible day. Despite feeling blue enough to want to hide from the entire world, the chance of watching my favourite local player in real life action made any other reason minor. And so, even though the match was past half-time, I still made my way down to Serangoon stadium. And it was way more than worth it.

Can't remember which year it was, but one of my previous birthday wishes was to have a poster of Lim Tong Hai. And now, instead of a poster, I had the chance of a real-life encounter with Tong Hai! Looks like birthday wishes do come true... in a matter of time. Plus you need to be pretty thick-skinned too. Haha..

Aside from Tong Hai, and since there was this rare opportunity, I managed to get a photograph with David Lee (the real person is so different from the fierce impression I had when he was during matches) and Nazri Nasir respectively too. The only person missing was Steven Tan. Didn't see him although I thought he was confirmed as one of the players too?

Come to think of it, it's been 14 years since Malaysia Cup. Seems so near, yet so far. In fact, yesterday's standard was disappointing. Then again, who cares, since I was more focused on the Number 8 jersey (which, coincidentally was his jersey number in 1994 too).

Then again, I must say bumping in Mr 0543 was a cheering up factor too. Though I realised I accidentally "uncle-ed" him too loudly already"

Of course, that's not to say that everyone else's well wishes and presents are redundant either. In fact, it's always these simple stuff from people who mean a whole world to me that keeps me going each and everytime. In fact, the spoilt brat me actually kept a mental list of the wishes I wanted. You people are my best-est presents in life, so there you go, Gek Koon, I shall use this year's birthday wish to buy another year of friendship.
