Life of Ronaldong

The second day after I arrived London. I visited Stamford Bridge.It was indeed a superb experience for me!

Millenium reception and players' posters on the wall.

Club office entrance

Stadium tour starting point. It is also the VIP box for players families to catch either husband, father or boyfriends live action.

This is the press room where all the journalists gather before and after every single game, signing new players, managers. Tour guide Frank told us all the journalists love this place because of the exceptionally good reception by the Chelsea. Beers, cocktails and sometimes snacks are all free to them. He also mentioned that almost every manager and one key player will be here to answer press questions after the game except one occassion when Man Utd was beaten 5-0 to Chelsea. According to him, a red faced old man refused to show up after that game and was fined heavily by the F.A.

This is the away team changing room which was a lot better improved according to Frank. To me, it looks just too ordinary.

Chelsea players' changing room and luxury shower rooms and massage chairs.

Finally the stadium and great turf. Ed told us that Chelsea home stadium is located in Fulham. But because there had been a Fulham football club so we had to think of another name for the new team which was named Chelsea. To be precise, this stadium is in the Kensington area. Fortunately the club was not named as Kensington Footbal Club, otherwise, it will become KFC in short.

This is the museum and a hotel next to the stadium. I met a young guy in the Chelsea mega store. The TV there happened to show the Charlton's game on which Zheng Zhi was scoring a goal. We chatted football for a short while and he directed me the way to the Valley where Charlton's home ground locates. It is not so near until I found another shorter route by National Railway the next day. Anyway, I wasn't patient enought to wait to take a look for Charlton.

Comparing with Stamford Bridge, the Valley looks quieter and more peaceful. It is miles away from London about 30 min train ride. By the time I reached there, every single thing was closed and it was getting dark. London becomes dark fairly early about 4pm. The stadium is totally locked and the receptionist was half sleeping inside a small reception room.

Two days later, my colleagues brought me to here again to catch Charlton vs Sheffield Utd match. Charlton played totally rubbish and ended with a 0-3 loss at home. Nevertheless, I caught Zheng Zhi here and I was happy. The English fans are superb. They are shouting, singing dancing etc etc all the time.

Steve bought the best and closet seats for us. The ticket for Coca-cola leagues is 20 pounds and BPL is 30 pounds. Above right is Zheng Zhi, the Chinese captain. Anyway, Steve was complaining that Zheng Zhi didn't play well cause I made him nervous.heh.

Nothing I bought seriously except these two scarvies. Still, I haven't visited Wembley due to time constrains. Will do it next time.

England is no doubt one of my favourite places to visit, not because of any reason but football. The moment I landed Hethrow, I could feel that I was not here for business but football. I didn't do any serious iteneries planning cause I only have very limited time to do some sight seeing. But football is definitely not forgotten. I visited Stamford Bridge and the Charlton's home at the valley and also caught a live action of Chinese football captain ZiZi. Anyway, words along the pictures.

Old, small, cozy and bloody expensive hotel at the Strand opposite the London Eyes.

two shots outside my hotel at the Strand

the famour London underground, Tubes which was built 70-80 years ago. Lots people complain about its uncleaness. To me, it was a lot better than those in the USA.

British Museum which I believe has a large collection of Chinese entiques that were robbed by British soldiors in the early 20's century. Surprisingly, they have hidden them all!

Tower of London. I didn't pay to go in but definitely nice to walk around it.

Some inside information:

The dead vios driver's name is Kenneth who is in his early 20s. He is one of our vios club member in Singapore. Someone from the club said he had met this fella before the incidents.

The road where the accident occured appeared to be one of the favourite route for drivers to race or test their ride.

This accident took place in the following described manner:

Vios was racing with another car. Vios overtook a car on the right lane to the on coming lane and crashes with the lorry.Witness had said they saw 2 cars racing pass them. Estimated speed to be 120 onward.

Thirty years after delivering thrills to Star Wars fans, R2-D2 is delivering mail.

The brave little droid will be promoting the movie's 30th anniversary for Lucasfilm and a stamp that's being produced in its honor by the Postal Service. Funny indeed..

Have you ever watched Hostel? Yes? It is bloodily brutal yet teaching everyone lots of new things in life..I bagged some below from IMDB and they read fun. I hope you like them..Oh yes, after you are done with them, try to think about the movie if it happens in real life..IMO, it certainly does...Try to think those who left and never returned in Singapore...what happened? For the god's sake, they may have been to the Hostel..geez...go to google the illegal organ trading in south east asia and you may get some insights about such organizations alike...It is REAL...just watch out the next stranger approaching you...he may have eyed on your kidney.. 

1. Do not ever agree to take an advice from a complete stranger who claims to know a location where there are enormously beautiful women (prostitutes) who will do anything to satisfy the male's sexual pleasures like nowhere else. Otherwise, just like in the movie, you will find that in this place there also operates a sadistic organisation that will involve psychopaths paying large amounts of money to mutilate and murder you in unimaginably brutal ways.

2. Apparently in the Slovakian city in this movie, there are kids that will threaten people for money or a chewing gum and in a life or death situation, if you give them the packet of gum, they will even kill the baddies that are chasing you using stones and sticks.

3. The Slovakian prostitutes are also involved in this repugnant business and have no problem leading the potential victims to their grim fates.

4. If you're lucky enough, you can talk your way out of getting tortured and killed if you happen to speak well the same language as does your psychotic enemy about to do the deed and tell him that "If he kills you, he will have consistant nightmares about committing such sin and that his life will get ruined in the process". Therefore, the enemy will become totally reluctant about doing the grisly deed and you can buy yourself some time to free yourself from the chair you are tied to and kill your enemy whilst later plan your escape.

5. In these psychotic organisations, there are such human beings that can get so silly as to leave their cars outside open and with the keys right inside the ignition, so that you can jump in and attempt to escape.

6. Apart from such a sadistic organisation and kids that demand chewing gum or money from people in a highly threatening manner, in that post-war Slovakian city, there are also plenty of corrupt policemen that brutally beat up drivers for some kind of road violations while others sit in their cars, watching and waiting.

7. Asian women are highly liable to commit suicide if they find out their beautiful face has been somehow permanently ruined as evidenced with the "Asian chick's train suicide" scene.

8. After getting two of your fingers cutted, all you need to do is to put on a glove and all the enormous bleeding will eventually cease.

9. If you happened to get caught and experience a near death situation, nearly totured to death by a bunch of rich maniacs specifilly speaking, you will have a high chance of becoming just as blood thrist as them and might want to kill people.

10. Not only will you become bloodthirsty after getting caught in such a near-death situation, but you'll also become more skillful in eluding the treacherous evil enemies coming at you and escaping from them, and if that so happens, killing them in the process.

11. For some maniacs, committing acts of unspeakable bloody torture on people, allows them to receive sexual satisfaction.

12. Hooliganic youth are more violent and much less scared than you think.

13. Beautiful women may look ugly when their ruthless nature is revealed.

14. Young male Americans have a highly negative view towards homosexuality and see women as sexual objects willing to fulfil their desires.

15. In Slovakia, if any person gets run over to death by a train, the underground staff won't take any responsibility for stopping ALL trains from operating after the incident, and therefore, it would be easy for a guy like Paxton to ride home with no trouble (as well as obviously killing the main villain) on another train coming from the SAME platform.
