We had some technical difficulties whilst trying to get into Singapore (car issue). It eventually took us almost 90mins to reach the stadium BECAUSE we had to go into Singapore and then get kicked out and then to go back into Singapore with a different car. *high stress point*
But was it worth it? HELL YEAH!!!
The atmosphere was electrifying. The crowd was there by 4pm and the KOP End was already filled to the brim an hour before kick-off. Imagine waves and waves of people dressed in red all walking towards the stadium. Bliss.
Pre-game Mexican wave served with beers set the stage for the game. Right before the game kicked-off they played our anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone". The whole stadium stood and sang every word of the song. My hair literally stood. I would never trade that moment for anything in the world.
Eventually the game did start and we never knew time 90mins could just fly by so fast. Before we knew it, it was the end of the game and the score board read 5-0. Voronin, Riera, Nemeth (2), Torres scored to cap off Liverpool's first pre-season tour win.
Being KOP-ites, hardly anyone left till the Liverpool players did a lap around the stadium. We saluted, applauded and sang songs as the players walked by the KOP End.
I must say that if Xavi Alonso didn't know before this, he knows now for sure that he is much loved by his Asian fans!!!
To my fellow KOP-ites; Papi, Limbo, Botak and Mental!!! You guys rock! Thank you for being part of this experience with me. We are Red and we are proud.
Sigh. Only thing that can top this now is a visit to the promised land: Anfield KOP End!

Liverpool's Number Nine
For those who don't know, the best day of my life was when we won the Champions League in Istanbul - 25 May 2005. Liverpool is life.
