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.

Asia Tour 2011

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!

i-City, Malaysia

Whuddup y'all!!!

I'm so excited for MTV World Stage that's happening on this 24th July 2011!

It's happening at the place where Christmas happens everyday!

Yes, you've guessed it.

i-City.

I went there a couple of weeks ago with two of my ex-housemates/besties. It's like a city of light there!


Oh yes, it looks like CNY there too.


And then Christmas...


And then CNY again!


They have the biggest reptile collection in Malaysia. I'm not sure if there were entry charges or not but people sure seems to be enjoying themselves.




Huge lizard wtf!


Quite a sight huh?

I suspect that this is where the MTV World Stage will be! Cool innit?!

Poles and I. You haven't seen her here for awhile have you? :)

God Brother Peter and Poles.

Santa! I've been a good girl this year. My shop is still closed.

Giant Peacock!

Funfair. Whee!

They have plenty of shops and restaurants there.

Omg so cute right?!

Took this so I can remind myself from now on, if I wanna see snow it's only RM25.00.

i-City is quite a nice place to take a stroll with the family. I almost feel really safe walking around there snapping pictures at the night sight.

When driving in, there may be traffic. You pay RM10.00 per car to enter the city. There were ample parking space in the parking lot but most people park by the road fearing that there won't be any parking space in there because of the jam.

If you're there, you should really just park inside. It's so much safer.

***

We went to A&W for some midnight snack after i-City and chatted for a good 3 hours.

Nothing is better than a Rootbeer Float for me at night!

Same old, same old!

 

Poles.

We shall do this again soon!

The Venetian Macau Resort Hotel and Mall @ Macau

To blog about the entire trip will take too long and honestly, I am quite sleepy and am counting my blessings that I am not rushing for too much work at the moment. The calm before the storm wtf!

So...what about some hotel review? I haven't done that in a while and I think this hotel is worth reviewing about.

The Venetian Macau Resort Hotel is now the largest building in Asia and second largest in the world.

It's a bigger replica of its sister-property in Las Vegas.

It was pretty impressive.

I've stayed in quite a number of hotels before and this one did not fail to impress me.

Thanks to my big sister who planned and fully sponsored this trip. Lovess!

Once we've landed in Hong Kong, we wasted no time and headed straight to Macau by ferry that departs from HKIA itself. We took the TurboJet. It was a 45 minutes journey. A pretty comfortable ride if you ask me.

As soon as we've reached the port, The Venetian Hotel bus sent us to our hotel.

Just part of the building during the day. I have more impressive pictures of the building at night. I'll probably post it in my later posts about Macau.


The inner deco stayed true to its name.


It was definitely a distance to walk from one end to another. You'd probably need one of them scooters wtf.


I rarely complain about the hotels I've lived in but I am super particular when it comes to the hotel bathrooms.

Look what greeted us!

A nice huge bathroom! Reminded me of The Ritz, London. They have nice huge bathrooms too.

I love.

I like how they separate the toilet bowl from the entire bathroom. I told my mom that that's what I want for my own home.


A dresser with a huge mirror is a must! :)


Split level in the hotel room.

From the fabric layering to the choice of colours they used, you can tell that they planned every tiny detail in this hotel room.


The lower level.


There are two TVs in each room. One at the higher level and another at the lower level.

I like that, it's really considerate.


Golf course outside the hotel. Reminded me of the crazy miniature golf back in the UK!

I miss UK. T.T


The swimming pool that, by the look of it, not many people uses.

The journey from my hotel room to the mall was a pretty long journey by foot, so I'm just gonna skip straight to the mall.

The artificial sky. It was pretty awesome. The whole design of the mall. Really really impressive.

I guess it's something you can't miss if you go to Macau.

There are plenty more pictures of the place but I'll leave it till the next time I post about Macau again.

Here's my mommy and me.

I love you mummy!
