Watching Chelsea Football Team Train in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia

For those who didn't know, if I had to pick a football team to support it'd be Chelsea.

I think I was heavily influenced by my ex. He's a big Chelsea fan.

Chelsea is probably the only team I've heard so much about and I even know some of the players in the team. *proud wtf*

I used to regret not watching any Chelsea match in UK but I guess fate works in a funny way.

Thanks to Samsung Malaysia who brought me and a few other bloggers to watch the players train in VIP style.

And this was an opportunity of a life time for me. I didn't think it'd be possible to watch them train so closely considering that I'm now back in Malaysia. And all these didn't seem possible just 6 months ago when I realised that I'm gonna be back in Malaysia for a long time.

Even when I was in the UK, I didn't think it'd be possible for me to just watch them train. Period. What more, in VIP style..

The training session was held in Stadium Negara at Bukit Jalil.


Foreigners arriving early to catch the training session.


I arrived early too, in my blue cardigan since I don't own a Chelsea jersey.


Komplex Sukan Negara.


The amount of Chelsea fans at the training session.


Photogs getting ready to snap pictures of the players coming out to play and train!


The 3 bloggers whom I accompanied. Mohdzaid.com, Eyriqazz.com and Vincephilosophy.com.


VIPs!!!


Hardcore Fans!


On the other side.


VIP seats were pretty empty.

Foreigners braving the crowd and heat to catch a glimpse of the players!


Heavy security.


And they're out! I've got some videos of them training but I need time to edit them.


Pink sky. It was dusk then but being inside the stadium it feels like 12pm. Can even wear sunglasses to watch wtf!


Stamford. Honouring our flag!




Players starting to play. I like the neon colours!


Just as I thought that we were really blessed to be able to watch them VIP style. We were invited by Samsung for a tour in the Stadium.

This dude was showing us where the King usually sits if he was there.


Changing rooms for Chelsea and Malaysia players.


Then we were told that we get to meet them and get their AUTOGRAPHS!!!!!!!!

I was mad excited. I did not bring any pen or writing material and was gutted!

THEN ONE OF THE CHELSEA DUDE GAVE US MARKER PENS AND POSTERS FOR THE PLAYERS TO SIGN!

Best team ever!

Fan Girl Mode!


Only a small group of people get to meet and greet.


Underpass at the Tube thingy under the stadium.


Retired Chelsea player (apparently) - Graeme Le Saux.


Any moment now!


John Terry!


Sexy arms!


Fernando Torres.


Yummm....


Frank Lampard.


Didier Drogba.


Petr Cech. My favourite player in Chelsea. I even told him that! Hee!


Coach - Andre Villas-Boas!


YAY!


Jon Obi Mikel.

I can never thank Samsung enough!

I get to cross WATCHING CHELSEA PLAY from my bucket list.

And get to say that I met the players at close proximity.

But the jam after the session was shit!

But it was all worth it! Thanks Samsung and Nuffnang!
