Had a rather exhilarating evening earlier. Jason & I went to favourite Chinese restaurant Wong Kei in Chinatown to have our weekly duck-chicken rice fix. We then went on a pub hunt at Soho that's showing Sky Sports (equivalent to Starhub TV) but didn't manage to find anything decent.
Decided to walk to Leicester Sq to see where we could find with a good vibe and a large screen. It was a good decision as as we walked past Vue (equivalent to Golden Village) Leicester Sq, we noticed that they were showing the match live. Furthermore, it was free entry as well as an UNHEARD OF drinks promo (right in the middle of London!) - 5 bottles of Bud for £10!
What's there to wait for?!
We had a couple of Jason's friends join us as well (all Singaporeans!) and we had a smashing time watching the duel. I was really hoping to support Korean Man U player Park Ji Song (the only Asian to have played in a Champion's League final) but he was not fielded by Fergurson throughout.
Although I was in London and the match was in Moscow - I really felt that I was there!

Chelsea equalised just before the 1st half and the match went into extra time after no other goals. Surely, Man U had lost the match when Ronaldo missed the bloody penalty. But John Terry missed it too after slipping (damn it! pay you £130 - 150k PER WEEK to miss the penalty. I'll gladly do it for half of that!!).
