the last time i was at the national stadium was last year's ndp where i had, well, absolutely no choice but to be there. you know, fulfilling my national service to my country by covering our glorious show of miliary strength and mass displays that only smack of communism.
anyway, i was back at the stadium yesterday afternoon, for the Rugby Sevens.
Managed to wrangle a couple extra free tickets for some friends and we had a pretty good afternoon... watching maybe 8-9 matches - including the thrashing Thailand had at the hands of the South Africans (77-0) and of course, Singapore went down 7-38 to Australia. and plenty others...
and of course it was equally fun to watch the crowd, including some three leprechauns who pranced to the music, a fred flintstone, a really bad Elvis, plenty of red-faced fans who'd had one too many Heinekens and one who tried to lead the crowd in a singalong of Can't Take My Eyes Off You
you know...
I love you baby and if it's quite alright...
storm clouds however threatened to dump its load right on us at about 5ish so we hightailed out of there but it was a fun afternoon and it was free and we even got some free drinks (the non-alcoholic type) out of it.
