Warsaw: Kebab Dinner, National Stadium

Warsaw: Kebab Dinner, National Stadium – Things get boring in Warsaw as there’s not much to do and the 4 of us had decided to hop on the tram (randomly) and head to a place far to look for food. As the tram got further away from the city and tall buildings, we got panic and alighted at somewhere near the National Stadium. It’s still fine, just crossed a bridge.

Trying to look for something different other than kebab that stand right in fronts of the tram stop, we walked into an unknown neighbourhood of Warsaw. Along the way, we came across with a Ukrainian Restaurant, an Italian Restaurant (no more, because of the heavy lunch), and a bakery, that’s it. That’s pretty deep into the neighbourhood, like 20 minutes from the tram stop, and we’d decided to head back to the kebab. =D Still, kebab is the best thing and cheapest thing to eat.

Day 2, the Palace of Culture & Science was still covered in cloud. What a foggy foggy weather it was.

A quiet neighbourhood.

Here comes the KEBAB feast.

Warsaw National Stadium, the venue of semi final for UEFA Euro 2012!

Newcastle United vs Manchester City At St. James Park

Newcastle United vs Manchester City At St. James Park – I am not a football fans, I do not know much about the football scene, but football, or soccer being the most popular sports in England, how can I not go to the stadium to catch a football match? I guess at the same time, I should brush up my football knowledge too!

I don’t know what’s my favourite football team, I only knew that I select Manchester United most of the time when playing Fifa 2000 on the PlayStation. Haha. Very luckily, there’s happened to be a football match few weeks back at St. James’ Park Stadium, home stadium to the Newcastle United and it was a match under the Capital One Cup. The away team was Manchester City. Best part of all, the ticket to the match costed only £15! Premiere League’s ticket is about £40 on average.

Without a Newcastle United jersey on, I wandered into the stadium with a bunch of newbie Asian, and sat ourselves among a whole gang of Newcastle United fans. Woah! The stadium is not as huge as I thought but the field was like so close to me! Now I know it’s cool to watch a match at the stadium than on ESPN, it’s just a bit weird where you can’t hear the commentary. Atmosphere was just brilliant with fans chanting and singing the football’s club anthem. It’s just feels great, and cold of course.

Not a beautiful stadium for St. James Park, but the experience was worthwhile. I just shout and cheer as the person in front does. I’ve to say Newcastle United fans are diehard fans, without them the match would be different. They even applause when there’s no goal, it’s just a way to support the player, “Good shot”.

Unfortunately, the 90 minutes ended with a tie of 0-0. Extra time added and Manchester City won the game with 2 goals. I would say my £15 was well spent as I got 120 minutes of football match. Haha. Good experience after all.

THE FINALE At Kelana Jaya Stadium

THE FINALE At Kelana Jaya Stadium – The eve of 13th General Election of Malaysia, the last day of campaigning by all the political parties, and it’s the ready for change and a new Malaysia. The night was tensed and excited. More than 50 thousands Malaysians flocked into the Kelana Jaya Stadium, to give a one last shot of support.

It started with a few thousands of people, the stadium slowly filled up and it’s just incredible to see the crowds packed in the stadium. Today, Malaysian will make the decision, I am excited and nervous, let’s hope for the good news tonight. 1Malaysia or Ubah? It’s your choice. Me? Somewhere in between.

Malaysia’s Westports KL Dragons vs Indonesia’s Satria Muda at MABA Stadium

I never know that Malaysia has a basketball team, I never know that Asian are active in the basketball scene except China. Now I want to let you know that Malaysia has a professional basketball team and it’s not kampung style basketball. They are the Westports KL Dragons. Yeah!

Recently, I was invited to go check out a basketball game betweet Westports KL Dragons versus Satria Muda which is from Indonesia at MABA (Malaysia Basketball Association) Stadium in town, near to Stadium Merdeka there. It’s the opening game of the AirAsia Asean Basketball League. Not so familiar about it? Nevermind, now you know it, it’s cool, it’s professional, it’s happening. ASEAN countries compete with each other in the league, just like NBA, but this is ASEAN.

I have never been to a real basketball match before and this is really my golden opportunity. I drove to town with Han Teik, my housemate and also a basketball fan to check out the game and we were pretty excited because it’s our first real professional basketball match. It’s International man.

I didn’t really know where is the MABA Stadium is and luckily I have a GPS with me which lead me to my destination. It’s somewhere near Petaling Street and Stadium Merdeka. If you want to take the LRT, you can get off at Pasar Seni on KJ Line and walk there.

Back talking about the game. The stadium was pretty cool, with air-conditioned but then it’s not like what you see on NBA where there’s big TV hanging in the middle of the stadium. I was there early and the team were training by themselves.

It’s not some lousy game, the whole stadium was filled with basketball fans. The scene was really very very cool.

Media pass, yeah!

Cute mascot.

You know, when I saw the players, they don’t look like typical Asian to me, they are huge!

Hot cheerleading dance by S.O.X. during half time.

The game rocks man. It was so exciting and so nervous and Malaysia KL Dragons team really amaze me a lot with all the basketball tricks and skill and dunks. Damn wonderful.
