Arsenal Malaysia Tour 2011

I've always been an Arsenal fan since 2003. When i heard they are coming to Malaysia i couldn't be more happy! After a quick decision with my friend I decided to and watch them at the Stadium. But being a poor student, i only could afford the cheapest ticket, which is priced at RM58.

13th July 2011 was the faithful day. My ticket was free-seating. So to get the best seats my ticket can get me, i went to the stadium at around 3pm and reached there around 4pm.

But upon reaching there i was told the gates only opened at 6.30. Zzzzzzz.

So i took the LRT and went to IMU to walk around and burn time. Had taufu fa and chicken rice there.

So around 6pm i went back...and it was filled with people..

To my delight i managed to get to the seat that i wanted, but to my disappointment it's still not having a good view of the pitch. =/

For the rest of the pics, sorry for the poor quality as i cropped quite a lot. My camera's high ISO performance isn't very good either. =/

And it's time to go back... =(

It's quite sad that Fabregas was not there. Though on a positive note, all the other big players like Van Persie, Nasri and Arshavin were on the pitch. Hopefully Arsenal FC will come to Malaysia again in the near future!!

Let's win the EPL this yearrrrrrrr~~
