			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>How ya folks? Hope ya fine!! <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD </span>Anyways, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Welcome to Old Trafford, The Theatre of Dreams</span>!! At least it&#8217;s like a dream i never dare to dream of where i&#8217;ll be at the stadium itself going around the place.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour40.jpg" alt="" /><br />
MY EYES ARE OPEN OKAY!!! <span style="font-weight: bold;">=X</span></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour41.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>So before i bring you around the stadium and show you more pictures on the stadium tour, allow me to show you some pictures taken that morning before i head to the stadium okay?</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour42.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Be patience and don&#8217;t run around here and there if not they&#8217;ll lock you up in this room shown above hehe so do read finish this whole post yea!</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour11.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>It was the last morning being <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>, i wished i had money that time to continue going around on my own exploring more places, maybe heading to <span style="font-style: italic;">London </span>or somewhere else in <span style="font-weight: bold;">UK</span> but nah, can&#8217;t do so. Another time bah. Perhaps. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=(</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>and so i took a morning walk with a 2 days old friend(<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">one of the winning contestant of the contest</span></span>) walking around in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester City</span>. The date was <span style="font-weight: bold;">16 March 2009</span>, a beautiful <span style="font-style: italic;">Sunday </span>with a wonderful cold weather. How nice if its like that in <span style="font-style: italic;">Kuala Lumpur</span>, the breeze and wind of <span style="font-style: italic;">Genting </span>in <span style="font-style: italic;">KL</span>. Oh maybe a bit more colder than <span style="font-style: italic;">Genting</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour5.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>If you&#8217;ve notice, there isn&#8217;t any people driving cars around the roads, not even a single sign of people walking around in the pictures above. Reminds me of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Dead City</span> in <span style="font-weight: bold;">I am Legend</span> if you ask me. <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour6.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yea, I am Legend FTW!</span>!! The only human alive on earth <span style="font-weight: bold;">Yawn</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">I guess that the city is moving slowly that day as its a <span style="font-style: italic;">Sunday</span>, everyone must still be sad because of the <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/05/big-match-manchester-united-vs.html">previous match losing to Liverpool 1-4</a>.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This must be a spot where couples would have intimate time there <span style="font-weight: bold;">HAHA</span>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour10.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Soon enough, it was time to head back to the accommodation place.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour12.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour13.jpg" alt="" /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour14.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour15.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>The next thing i know, all of us were already there at the stadium, taking lots of pictures even before they got the tickets for the tour. There were other people there for the tour, in different groups.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour16.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Soon we have this man acting as our tour guide of the stadium bringing us around telling us the tales and legends of the place, the club.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour17.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>One by one, we go through the passage where the players access into the stadium on normal match days, the players must have got bored of it walking in and out of this passage various times throughout the season.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour18.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour19.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>It was all quiet, and i was smiling all the way looking at surroundings of the stadium from inside. Didn&#8217;t really pay attention on what the man said, only remembered he mentioned that there&#8217;re many high tech cameras around the stadium. I was cam-whoring all the way <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour20.jpg" alt="" /><br />
epic moments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">We were brought out of the stadium where we were at the entrance of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Munich </span>tunnel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour22.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour21.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>It was a place named after the place in <span style="font-style: italic;">Germany</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Munich </span>where there&#8217;s this air disaster which happen back in <span style="font-weight: bold;">1958 </span>where more than half the team of<span style="font-style: italic;"> Manchester United </span>pass away. They were there for a soccer game and that was what happen. They will be remembered.</p>
<p>The time and date of the incident is stated in the picture above.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour23.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour24.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>there were lots of pictures and text illustration along the tunnel and i didn&#8217;t manage to read them cause the schedule was tight and we moved really fast from one place to another. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=(</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour25.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour26.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>We headed back into the stadium and reach this very room where they have the National Honours Board. I wonder that will there be a <span style="font-style: italic;">Malaysian </span>name be up there on the board under <span style="font-weight: bold;">Other Nations</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour31.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour27.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour30.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour28.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour29.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Soon enough, we were led into the players changing room where i took picture with <span style="font-style: italic;">Ronaldo </span>&amp; <span style="font-style: italic;">Park Ji Sung&#8217;</span>s jersey <span style="font-weight: bold;">LOLx</span>. It was the closest i get to the player i guess as i heard that its the jerseys that the players wore before. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wonder if its true.</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour32.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour33.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour34.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Had a kiss on the trophy and saw <span style="font-style: italic;">Rooney </span>lifting up the trophy and headed to the tunnel where the players will go out to the field during an actual match. <span style="font-weight: bold;">They even played the sound clip in the tunnel announcing that the players of the winning team Manchester will be heading out to the field followed by a chant and cheers of the supporters and everyone went running out to the field cheering leaving me behind taking picture of them with 3 lines of swt on my head</span>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour35.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour36.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour37.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour38.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">We walked around the pitch taking lots of pictures and some people even recorded a video. Awesome stuffs.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour39.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Took a group picture with <a href="http://bossming.com/">Boss Ming</a>&#8216;s DSLR where up till now i still haven get the picture lolx and headed out of the place soon.</p>
<p>The schedule was freaking tight and we moved extremely fast where i couldn&#8217;t really enjoy every single thing during the stadium tour. This is because there were lots of other people in groups behind us, going on the same stadium tour as well.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour43.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour44.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>The man led us back into <span style="font-style: italic;">Megastore </span>to dig more money out of us for the club. Gah. and that was the time i spent buying souvenirs and some stuffs for myself. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=D</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour45.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour46.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Not much complaints though, it was a nice tour on a nice day and i had a nice mood. Everything&#8217;s nice. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Okay i&#8217;m running out of words. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour47.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Anyways we still have a few hours and so we stopped by somewhere in the city where everyone could go shopping. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Did not really buy anything as i was dead broke already</span>. Accompanied some other people getting their stuffs. One man got himself like 3 pair of shoes swt, for his children that was.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour50.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour48.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/manchesterunitedstadiumtour49.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>There was this <span style="font-weight: bold;">Manchester Irish Festival </span>going on at the same time and it was pretty happening. Took a look inside peeking here and there.</p>
<p>The rest of the story. Just view the pictures bah. Its the end of my trip at <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">UK thanks to MAMEE </span>which organized the contest where i was one of the winner. Despite the losing match to <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool</span>, it was an awesome trip.</p>

			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>In like 6 hours time, <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United</span> will face <span style="font-style: italic;">Barcelona </span>in <span style="font-style: italic;">Rome</span>. Said to be one of the biggest finals in the past 10 years, perhaps in history as well. Lets see how will it turn out to be!</p>
<p>and i just remembered i haven finish posting about the <span style="font-style: italic;">UK </span>trip to <span style="font-style: italic;">Old Trafford</span> witnessing the match <span style="font-style: italic;">ManUtd </span>losing to <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool</span>. Gosh it was saddening. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=(</span></p>
<p>Oh and before i start, if you happen to be a fan of <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United </span>and you would like to find accommodation there to watch a match, <a href="http://www.hotelscombined.com/">HotelsCombined</a> could be useful for you to search the right place with the right price as they have details on the places to stay in <a href="http://www.hotelscombined.com/City/Manchester.htm">Manchester</a>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=D</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch37.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Alright lets start. After <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/04/first-morning-in-manchester.html">the adventurous morning</a> exploring just the surroundings of <a href="http://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Premier_Inn_City_Centre_Manchester.htm">Premier Inn</a>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">after the <a href="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning33.jpg">excellent english breakfast</a>, we got our stuffs and waited at the lobby for the bus to come fetching us to <span style="font-style: italic;">Old Trafford</span>. Soon enough, the bus came and the first thing we got in the bus was this!!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch1.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch2.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>The ticket to the match!! Wheeeeeeee i was extremely excited that i took a picture with it straight away. My first time holding a match ticket of a <span style="font-style: italic;">ManUtd </span>game!! An historical moment for me. haha.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch3.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>It takes us around 20 minutes before we reach the legendary venue. The street where many of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United</span> legends step their foot on before.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> The Theatre of Hopes, Old Trafford!!</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch5.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">SIR MATT BUSBY WAY!!</span></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">It was like 2 hours before the match and there&#8217;re people all over the place already. Grabbing their lunch i think.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch8.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">LEGENDS FAST FOOD TAKE AWAY!</span></div>
<p>Why i think they were there to have lunch, refer at the picture above, there&#8217;re a whole stretch of shops selling fish and chips and such. Crazy scene i tell you, then there were people around selling scarf, badges, and other unofficial merchandises of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Manchester United Football Club</span>. I was all excited. Just like a small kid going to a playground and all. Very Very Excited. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=D</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch10.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">As you can see, it was a sunny day, a good day i assume that time and i can&#8217;t wait for <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span> to trash <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>that time which turned out totally different. Ha. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=X</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch7.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">and so, immediately after coming out from the bus, the 30++ of us disappeared and walk around everwhere here and there. I was with a few of them walking all the way to the stadium. Having our own sweet time walking around looking left and right. You know, you don&#8217;t really see Malaysians police/guards sitting on a horse patrolling around. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Haha</span>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch13.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch12.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Soon we reached the stadium, standing out of the place makes me feel very very&#8230;. I don&#8217;t know how to describe it. I was touched. I mean like i never really imagine myself, i <span style="font-weight: bold;">DON&#8217;T EVEN DARE</span> to imagine myself going all the way to <span style="font-style: italic;">UK</span>, to <span style="font-style: italic;">Old Trafford</span> to watch a live match. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=&#8217;)</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch11.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and ah, i managed to take a picture with <span style="font-weight: bold;">THE UNITED TRINITY!</span> Hohoho. <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch55.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Then, a few of us managed to take a picture. One of us was semangat to bring that mini banner there <span style="font-weight: bold;">Haha</span>.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch15.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch14.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Everyone of us entered the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Megastores </span>and there was <span style="font-weight: bold;">LOTS </span>of people there, i guessed they made the most during the match day itself where lots of people buying mainly the jerseys and other related items. Liang, <a href="http://kennysia.com/">Kenny</a> and <a href="http://bossming.com/">Ming</a> all bought stuffs that time and i was just walking around with both my hands empty coming out from the store. <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch16.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch17.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>That 2 hours past very fast and soon it was match time already. I walked in with a few friends, the few winners of <a href="http://misterpotato.com.my/">Mister Potato</a> contest.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch18.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch19.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">We took a lift and walk up the stairs and made our way up to the place we were suppose to sit. As i was entering the area to my seats, <span style="font-weight: bold;">i could hear cheerings and shouting</span>s, the chants and cheers made my heart jump 100 times faster and i could feel my steps becoming heavier for that few seconds when i step into the place. <span style="font-weight: bold;">It was amazing!!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch20.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch29.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Not exagerrating</span>, That was my most breathtaking moment in my life thus far i would say. Totally speechless!! Eyes big big getting amazed by what i see.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch26.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">A stadium full filled with football fans cheering and chanting for their team. <span style="font-weight: bold;">SYIOK!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch21.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch22.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch23.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch24.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch25.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Soon, the match started and i was all excited, <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>played pretty good with a challenging side from <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>and everyone was standing up when this happen&#8230;</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch27.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ronaldo scoring the penalty!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch28.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and sad to say, that was the only goal from <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United</span> where <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>scored twice before half time ended.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch31.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">and the numbers of security guards around the away team supporters area doubled straight away during half time. No kidding. Please refer to 2 pictures before the one above and refer back to the picture above and you&#8217;ll know!! Crazy. <span style="font-weight: bold;">o.O</span></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t mess with the fans, the hard core ones. I remembered witnessing 2 times during the match that a few people got escorted out of their seats.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch32.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>The first time is because there&#8217;s this guy who stand up raising his hands shouting when <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool</span> scored and everyone around started cursing and shouting at him. It was pretty stupid i think because the place we&#8217;re all sitting is full of <span style="font-style: italic;">ManUtd </span>supporter.</p>
<p>The second time, there was this guy who kept on talking about <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>to his friend and someone in front got annoyed and start shouting and scolding the person followed by everyone around joined in shouting and scolding at the person.</p>
<p>Soccer fans in <span style="font-style: italic;">United Kingdom</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">GANAS!!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch30.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<a href="http://bossming.com/">Ming</a> &amp; me.</p>
<div style="text-align: left;">The match resumed soon and for all i know, the match go on with 2 more goals scored by <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>with an ending result of 4-1.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch33.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Pretty disappointing for me who&#8217;s there watching a live <span style="font-weight: bold;">EPL </span>match but well since now that they&#8217;ve won the <span style="font-weight: bold;">EPL</span> title, <span style="font-weight: bold;">AGAIN</span>, i&#8217;m all fine <span style="font-weight: bold;">MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA</span>. Like what i&#8217;ve said before, <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-would-rather-walk-alone.html">I WOULD RATHER WALK ALONE!</a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch35.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch34.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Paul Scholes</span> was unhappy that time ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch36.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch38.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">The stadium got empty pretty fast, so as the streets. Fans were disappointed and the guards were telling everyone off to avoid commotion between the <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>supporters which was released out from the stadium a bit later.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch40.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">On the other hand, we headed back to the place we got down to get back to <a href="http://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Premier_Inn_City_Centre_Manchester.htm">Premier Inn</a>. On the way back i got an SMS from <a href="http://jasonmumbles.com/">Jason</a>.</div>

<p>Got back and had a wash up and headed out straight away.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch42.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<div style="text-align: left;">The rest of the day was spent walking around at <span style="font-style: italic;">Arndale </span>shopping mall. Managed to record a video of a street performance by 2 kids. Not totally amazing but its entertaining.</div>
</div>

I was dead broke after buying those because i don&#8217;t have real much money there in <span style="font-weight: bold;">UK</span>. Need to keep some to buy souvenirs for the friends back in <span style="font-style: italic;">Malaysia</span> so i can&#8217;t shop more.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch52.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2009livvsmanutdmatch54.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>The rest of the night was spent with me myself and i with some instant noodle. Sad Case. Ha.</p>
<p>and so, that was the big day, the big match between <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United</span> &amp; <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>which ended in 1-4.</p>
<p>I even heard one of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Mamee </span>staff saying that she saw people crying out at the streets during midnight after she finished clubbing, crying because <span style="font-style: italic;">ManUtd </span>lost to <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fuh. O.O</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">Will you cry if <a href="http://www.ticketpro.com.my/jnp/sports/159869-Manchester-United-Asia-Tour-2009-Malaysia.html">Malaysia Lose to Manchester United in July 2009</a>? Lolx<br />
<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">*up next on this trip will be the stadium tour.</span></span></p>

			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">14 March 2009</span></p>
<p>It was a fine day. I just spent my night in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>and i was all excited waking up the next morning. It was the morning, the morning of the day where one of the biggest game in <span style="font-style: italic;">English Premier League</span> season 2008/2009. The game which have lots of people in shock, especially those who bet lots of money in it.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning1.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>I washed up and headed to the lobby only to found out that the breakfast time was delayed one hour. Of course, i wasn&#8217;t the only one who found that out, a few of them were chit chatting at the entrance.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning2.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>A few pictures were taken and i went out to the streets where i woke up totally thanks to the windy weather that morning. I was still quite sleepy a second before stepping out.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>the roads were totally empty at that time, nobody, no vehicles. It was like the scenes in <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-am-legend.html">I am Legend</a>. and so, a few of us headed out to the streets to enjoy the breeze out there, walking around snapping pictures here and there.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">It was so windy that a moment you could see the clouds and after a while, the clouds were no where to be seen. I was all happy then, with the nice weather and such, i was expecting a good match later in the afternoon.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">I love these 2 shots particularly which i took above. A quiet street.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">The few of us didn&#8217;t walk quite far away from the inn we&#8217;re staying at. We were just at some empty space one street across.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">as you can see in the picture above, <span style="font-style: italic;">Andrew </span>who&#8217;s the guy in the left hand side taking pictures have most of his body covered up and he look like a terrorist there and then. That was how windy/cold!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning13.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>With <span style="font-style: italic;">Andrew </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">Abu</span>, we snap loads of pictures with Abu taking recording down some clips.</p>
<p>Loads of photos that is. Enjoy!</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning10.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning11.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning12.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning14.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning19.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">While we&#8217;re there, a few &#8220;<span style="font-style: italic;">green head ducks</span>&#8221; caught our attention. Yeh green head ducks. A few of them mentioned about the ducks before we headed out for a walk and we were delighted to see them ourselves. As if we&#8217;ve not seen ducks before lolx.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning20.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>and if you pay attention in this very picture above, you can see that among the ducks, there&#8217;s one unique one far end in the pic which is different than the others. Immediately, it reminds me of <span style="font-style: italic;">Ugly Duckling</span> if you&#8217;ve watch the cartoon before.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning21.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>the ducks were swimming further away from us and of course, we tried going nearer crossing the bridge and after a while taking a few pictures, they..</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning22.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>flew off just like that, into the sky&#8230;. Ducks flying away&#8230;. that&#8217;s not what you&#8217;ll normally see in the city of <span style="font-style: italic;">KL</span>. I couldn&#8217;t even imagine seeing ducks in <span style="font-style: italic;">Sungai Gombak</span> Lolx. Stupid people who polluted the river.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning23.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>the later minutes were spent with me doing some stupid things</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning24.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and taking much more pictures&#8230;</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning25.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">After staying there for one day, i actually liked the place quite a lot and i wish i have the money to study overseas and stay in such a city, such a place where it&#8217;s totally different than <span style="font-style: italic;">KL</span>. Much quieter and much simpler. <span style="font-style: italic;">HweiMing </span>must be enjoying himself in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning26.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning28.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>these 2 pictures above is nice right? <span style="font-weight: bold;">=D</span></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning27.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Poser xD</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning29.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">The hour was pretty short for us and soon, it was breakfast time.</div>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning30.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning31.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning32.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning33.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and so, i had an <span style="font-style: italic;">English </span>breakfast, something i don&#8217;t normally do back in <span style="font-style: italic;">Malaysia</span>. Bacons, steam mushrooms, baked beans, eggs, some juice and such, it was all good.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/2nddaymanchestermorning34.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>At around 10.30am, the bus came and we were all set to go to <span style="font-style: italic;">Old Trafford</span>.</p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Theatre of Dreams</span> that is where we totally didn&#8217;t imagine of witnessing one of <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United</span> biggest lost to <span style="font-style: italic;">Liverpool </span>at home ground in recent years.</p>
<p>to be continue</p></div>

<p>After bidding good bye with <a href="http://hweiming.com/">HweiMing</a>, i started walking back to the <span style="font-style: italic;">Premier Inn </span>all by myself. Took loads of pictures on the way and paying attention on the surroundings, the people, the buildings, the happenings. View the pictures yea.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Bicycle lane.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight1.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">The roads there were pretty well structured and is pretty wide compared to the ones in KL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight2.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight3.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight5.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>On the way back to my accommodation place, i passed by lots of buildings where most of it are buildings of different field of studies, all under the<span style="font-style: italic;"> University of Manchester</span>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Yes, the buildings were located on the whole stretch of the road there.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight9.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>and there were lots of gardens spotted in between every few buildings, places to hang out or study i guess.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight10.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight11.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>thanks to my shaky hands, i took some of these slow shutter pictures which i&#8217;m pretty in to recently and the results are pretty blur <span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span>. There are more of such shots below. <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">=)</span></span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight12.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight18.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>i don&#8217;t know why but i like this picture above.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight19.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight20.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>this is the<span style="font-style: italic;"> Manchester Aquatics Center </span>where they have swimming pools inside plus some aquatics facilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight21.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Oh and yes, there&#8217;s this <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester Metropolitan University </span>situated along the road as well, just after the<span style="font-style: italic;"> University of Manchester</span>. A whole street of university buildings that is.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight22.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>still taking slow shutter pictures <span style="font-weight: bold;">=P</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight23.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>i like the feeling of this building taken above, some restaurant if i&#8217;m not mistaken</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight24.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight25.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and that night, there was some ongoing <span style="font-style: italic;">Spanish &amp; Latin American</span> Film Festival thingy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight26.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Leaving the roads filled with University buildings, i came across a street filled of restaurants and entertainment venues.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight27.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>some theater center.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight28.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight29.jpg" alt="" /><br />
reminds me of a street/lorong @ <span style="font-style: italic;">Jalan Ipoh</span> where there&#8217;s a river there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight30.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>building under construction/renovation.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight31.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight32.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Temple, an eating place i assume which is located underground and is in between 2 roads. Gah.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight33.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight34.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight35.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Finally i reached this very junction where its pretty near to my staying place and i stayed there for quite some time taking lots of slow shutter pictures as there are many vehicles passing by the junction.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight38.jpg" alt="" /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight36.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/walkinginmanchester1stnight37.jpg" alt="" /><br />
My favourite picture of the night. <span style="font-weight: bold;">=)</span></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">There are many more pictures but it all sucks. Anyway, i never have this feeling before, walking in a totally unfamiliar street paying attention at the things around, a whole different culture in front of me, having my eyes moving all around and my hands snapping pictures here and there. Doing this all alone by myself, i&#8217;m pretty sure i can do backpacking all by myself one day in the future in more countries. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I actually enjoyed doing all these all by myself,</span> slowly spending my time and enjoying the windy weather there. Good thing it was not raining!</p>
<p>The later night was spend eating instant noodles xD and watching some shows on the TV and though i was pretty excited on the next day which is the MATCH DAY, i fall asleep pretty fast.</p>
<p>I was tired.</p>
<p>to be continue&#8230;.</p>

<p><a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/03/on-way-to-manchester.html">Stepping out from the plane</a>, I was still pretty blur and i still can&#8217;t believe that i&#8217;m already in <span style="font-style: italic;">UK</span>, on the grounds of <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>far away from <span style="font-style: italic;">Malaysia</span>, it was a safe trip with <span style="font-style: italic;">Emirates</span>.</p>
<p>The whole bunch of us went up for the shuttle bus service to the departure halls @ the airport.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It was pretty windy when we came out and there&#8217;s a bit of rain then.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">acting like a &#8220;<span style="font-style: italic;">jakun</span>&#8221; in front of this vendor machine and i saw <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/04/fast-update-51-condoms-in-airports.html">this condom machine</a> in the toilet as well. I went &#8220;Uh.. Oh&#8230;.&#8221;</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Getting our luggage and boarding the bus and off we go, heading to our very accommodation place, <span style="font-style: italic;">Premier Inn</span>.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday5.jpg" alt="" /><br />
camwhore moments in the bus with <span style="font-style: italic;">abu </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">liang</span>&#8230;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday8.jpg" alt="" /><br />
houses i wish i can stay in&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday6.jpg" alt="" /><br />
don&#8217;t ask me why i took this&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday9.jpg" alt="" /><br />
under the flyover&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday10.jpg" alt="" /><br />
the one and only high rise building i saw there, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hilton Hotel</span>. Gasp.</p>
<div style="text-align: left;">and so, it took us like 20 minutes from the airport to the destination, passing by lots of junctions where the roads are so much wider than the ones in <span style="font-style: italic;">KL</span>, some <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/03/fast-update-41-manchester-5-min-hand.html">pretty kick ass place</a>, a graveyard, a few schools with nice soccer fields unlike the ones in <span style="font-style: italic;">KL</span> and many awesome housing areas i thought.</p>
<p>Gosh it&#8217;s like 30 minutes of time being in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>and i&#8217;m complaining about <span style="font-style: italic;">Kuala Lumpur</span> already. Ish.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday12.jpg" alt="" /><br />
da building across the <span style="font-style: italic;">Premier Inn</span> that we&#8217;re staying at. FYI, there&#8217;re like 4 <span style="font-style: italic;">Premier Inns</span> in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday11.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday14.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">and so, we had our luggages and waited for our names to be called to collect our own rooms. This was when i met <a href="http://kennysia.com/">Kenny</a> and <a href="http://bossming.com/">Ming</a> as they arrived in <span style="font-style: italic;">UK </span>earlier than us. and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Yes </span>we have our very own room, <span style="font-weight: bold;">ONE PERSON ONE ROOM!!!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday13.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>and uh, i was wondering, do they have these quick check in machines in the inns in <span style="font-style: italic;">Malaysia</span>? Don&#8217;t say inns, i think the hotels here don&#8217;t have it too. Gahhh. Well, correct me if i&#8217;m wrong.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday29.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">This is the room i got and it looks much more decent and nice than some place called hotel in <span style="font-style: italic;">Kuala Lumpur</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">THIS IS ONLY A ROOM IN AN INN. NOT HOTEL.</span> *<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">shakes head</span></span>* Of course, it&#8217;s not very spacious but it&#8217;s more than enough for one person alone and as you can see, the bed we got is <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOT A SINGLE BED</span>. Awesom right?</p>
<p>Contacted my girl and family and settled down for quite a while after contacting <a href="http://hweiming.com/">Hwei Ming</a> who was suppose to meet me there.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday15.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Soon, enough, <span style="font-style: italic;">Hweiming </span>made his way to the place i was at and he brought me out walking around in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span> and the first place he brought me to was the <span style="font-style: italic;">China Town</span> in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span> which is the picture shown above.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday19.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday24.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>We went to <span style="font-style: italic;">Arndale</span>, the most happening shopping place @ <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>lolx</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday18.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and passed by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eye On Manchester</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday16.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>saw some local people performing</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday17.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>and according to <span style="font-style: italic;">Hwei Ming</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Starbucks </span>is just normal in <span style="font-style: italic;">UK </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">Caffe Nero</span> is a more high rated chain of coffee drinking cafe. Well. I have not try that and i will do so in the future.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday20.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>uh and <span style="font-weight: bold;">PURE </span>is one of the happening Clubbing spots in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>. <span style="font-size:130%;">O.O</span> No money for that.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday21.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and so, we continue walking, chatting with me taking pictures from time to time.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday22.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>went to lots of places and walked for quite long which i actually enjoy doing so as it&#8217;s windy and i did not sweat at all lolx. You can view more pictures taking during the walk <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2009/03/walking-in-manchester-evening.html">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday23.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>oh and this guy is the guy who does not move and can stand there for one whole day.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday25.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>and so, we passed by <span style="font-style: italic;">Piccadilly Garden </span>bus station as well which reminds me of <span style="font-style: italic;">Pekeliling </span>in <span style="font-style: italic;">Kuala</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Lumpur</span>. Of course, <span style="font-style: italic;">pekeliling </span>sucks more than <span style="font-style: italic;">Piccadilly</span>, hands &amp; legs down.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday26.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Soon it&#8217;s going to be night and <span style="font-style: italic;">HweiMing </span>asked me what do i want to eat and i was totally undecided and we ended up going to some place near the <span style="font-style: italic;">University </span>that <span style="font-style: italic;">HweiMing</span>&#8216;s studying at.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday28.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">A place that most <span style="font-style: italic;">UK </span>people would know and because this place was situated in a place that&#8217;s near the <span style="font-style: italic;">University</span>, the price there is abit lower.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday30.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">So, this was what we have, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lasagne </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">Tortilla Chips</span> which i thought that it&#8217;s pretty good and i was quite satisfied after the meal. I guessed i owe <span style="font-style: italic;">HweiMing </span>a <span style="font-weight: bold;">BIG </span>thanks for bringing me around and of course introducing the place to dine at.</p>
<p>How much was the meal after the conversion of Pound to Ringgit? It&#8217;s not important la&#8230;</p></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertrip1stday27.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">A short talk after the meal marks the end of our meeting and i walked all the way back to <span style="font-style: italic;">Premier Inn</span> all by myself&#8230;.</p>
<p>to be continue&#8230;</p>

Seriously, compared to <span style="font-style: italic;">KL</span>, if you ask me to walk from one place to another i would hesitate a while but if it&#8217;s in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>, i would love to do so!!</p>

			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>Before i start this very first post of the whole trip to <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>, i would like to thank a few people. First, <span style="font-weight: bold;">my parents of course because they&#8217;ve been providing me the money to use during this trip</span> (<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">i&#8217;m still a student lah</span></span> =X) <span style="font-weight: bold;">and my girl for giving me something very useful throughout the whole trip</span>. Of course, i thank my supervisor as well approving my documentation of my Final Year Project which i&#8217;ve finished last minute on that very morning of the day i flew off from <span style="font-style: italic;">Kuala Lumpur</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Thank You.</span> Alright now.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been reading my blog, you&#8217;ll know that i&#8217;ve won the <a href="http://www.misterpotato.com.my/">Mister Potato</a> contest held by <span style="font-style: italic;">Mamee </span>winning a 3 days 2 night trip to <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>to watch a soccer match.</p>
<p>It all started by being in the <a href="http://joshuaongys.blogspot.com/2008/06/40-bloggers-project.html">40 bloggers project</a>. Blogging 2 advertorial posts for <span style="font-style: italic;">MisterPotato</span> promoting about the contest to <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester United</span>. Through that, i knew about the competition and started collecting seals and submitted all of them in the last month before the dateline.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">and so, on the night of <span style="font-style: italic;">Thursday </span>12th <span style="font-style: italic;">March </span>2009, my parents sent me to <span style="font-weight: bold;">KLIA </span>at around 10pm.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA23.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<p>Upon reaching, i contacted the person in charge, Diyana only to know that i reached before she reach. Lolx. Anyways, i look around and saw some people who are most likely one of the winners as well as some of them are already wearing <span style="font-style: italic;">ManUtd </span>jerseys.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Suddenly, both me and my mom spotted <span style="font-weight: bold;">Liang </span>and we were shocked to see him there and well it turn out that <span style="font-weight: bold;">Liang </span>collected the mister potato seals as well and won the contest. Really Random. What can i say, it&#8217;s nice meeting someone you know in such a trip. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Haha</span>.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Soon, the people from <span style="font-style: italic;">Mamee </span>arrived and collected our passports where we lined up getting our luggages checked in as well as collecting our flight tickets.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">One from <span style="font-style: italic;">Kuala Lumpur t</span>o <span style="font-style: italic;">Dubai </span>and another one from <span style="font-style: italic;">Dubai </span>to <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA19.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>A short briefing was conducted and the top 5 winners were announced at the spot winning a signed jersey each.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA17.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">These 5 people are crazy. Let me tell you something interesting. The first 3 winners, num1, 2 and 3, 1 is the son, 2 is the uncle and 3 is the father. Lolx and the actual winner is only the first person. He spent around 5k i think buying lots of chips and with the amount of seals he had, he actually <span style="font-weight: bold;">DISTRIBUTED IT AND SUBMITTED THE SEALS USING 3 DIFFERENT NAMES</span>. Which includes his own name, his father&#8217;s name and his uncle&#8217;s name.</p>
<div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">THAT IS WHAT I CALL A STRATEGY!! xD</div>
<p>But wait!! The 4th winner had a strategy himself as well.  He bought lots of chips and just collected the packets, and sold off the chips on discounted rate to kids. Yea discounted rate like buy one pack free one pack, just that the kids won&#8217;t get the packets.</p>
<p>Well, <span style="font-weight: bold;">IF LA I WERE THAT CLEVER</span>, maybe some of you my friend or even my family/girl could go to Manchester with me. <span style="font-weight: bold;">HAHA</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">IF</span>.</p>
<p>Oh and if you want to know how much i spent buying the packets of <span style="font-style: italic;">Mister Potato</span>, i actually forgot but i&#8217;m pretty sure its below <span style="font-weight: bold;">RM200</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold;">HAHA</span>. Later on i found out that a few people was like me as well spending around that amount of money only. We didn&#8217;t really expect to win the trip and only thought of trying our luck winning probably some consolation prize only.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">xD</span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">There are 25 winners in total and the 20 other people gets a<span style="font-style: italic;"> Manchester United Collector Card Album</span>. Better than nothing right? I&#8217;m glad enough to have won the trip. <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">=)</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Anyways, we proceeded and checked in heading to the gate to wait for the boarding time. Boarded the place around 1.30pm if i&#8217;m not mistaken. It was a 7 hours flight to <span style="font-style: italic;">Dubai</span>.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA7.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA6.jpg" alt="" /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">Unlike most of the people, I didn&#8217;t really sleep throughout the flight and instead..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA22.jpg" alt="" /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">I watched 2 movies with lots of drinks ordered.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Apart from that, we were served with 2 meals and gosh it&#8217;s pretty good for me. At least it&#8217;s better than flying with <span style="font-style: italic;">AirAsia</span>. Lolx. <span style="font-style: italic;">Emirates </span>rawks!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA20.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">After that 7 hours flight, we reached safely in Dubai around 6am++ <span style="font-style: italic;">Dubai </span>time.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA9.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA10.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Most of us just passed by and look around in the Duty Free zone without buying anything.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA11.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and i started cam-whoring with a few of them haha.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA25.jpg" alt="" /><br />
They are selling Canon 50D for Dhs 7,895</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA21.jpg" alt="" /><br />
and Dhs 4,999 for Nikon D90.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">and the exchange rate for RM and Dhs is around 1 to 1.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Crazy!</span></span></p>
<p>We have 2 hours of waiting time at <span style="font-style: italic;">Dubai International Airport</span> and i was pretty bored so i&#8230;</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA12.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA24.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">The waiting was quite fast as i was pretty excited in arriving in <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester </span>and soon we were going pass the gate heading to the plane to <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>. Again, it was a 7 hours flight.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA13.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>and meals were served as well.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA26.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Nizam</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lina </span>and i.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA18.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Do you know which one i choose for my meal? Hee.</p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA14.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">I slept pretty much during this flight as i didn&#8217;t sleep in the previous one and when i&#8217;m awake i was delighted to see that i&#8217;m one step closer to my dream already. Stepping my foot on <span style="font-style: italic;">Manchester</span>.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA15.jpg" alt="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongysmanchestertripA16.jpg" alt="" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongmanutdlivmatch6.jpg" /></div>
<p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongmanutdlivmatch2.jpg" /></div>
<p>However, it&#8217;s an all amazing experience stepping into the theatre of dreams watching a live match with my own eyes in the shortest distance i could get in all my life with the players of Manchester United cheering and supporting ManUtd with 75,000 people in the stadium.</p>
<p>It is the first time being in a stadium with such an amount of people and i hope it is not the last time doing so.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongmanutdlivmatch.jpg" /><br />There, that is <a href="http://kennysia.com/">Kenny</a> and Liang. If you know them that is.</div>
<p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongmanutdlivmatch3.jpg" /></div>
<p>Yes, coming all the way from Malaysia watching the team i support losing 4-1 where this is my first time watching a live match here is quite a sad case for me, but at the end of the day, i&#8217;m still a happy man, to have experience all this for the first time in my life. =)</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/P1010331.jpg" /></p>
<p>Before i end this quick post, let me show you the difference of 5 Minutes.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongmanutdlivmatch4.jpg" /><br />The match at 89mins.</p>
<p><img src="http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww133/joshuaongys/joshuaongmanutdlivmatch5.jpg" /><br />The match at 94mins.</p>
<p>Cheers!!</div>
