Not too bad after all, i can see the player clearly and the atmosphere was fantastic.

IMGP2862 
For Manchester United, the biggest cheers goes to Michael Owen who score the winning goal for MU.

IMGP2840
My first thought of  going there by public transport, the Star LRT.  Luckily i changed my mind.

IMGP2897
Luckily i didn’t park my car at the station parking lot.  Look at the crowd.

Police had blocked the whole road from traffic and i wonder those who parked their  car at the stadium when they ever reach home.

This is the BEST game i ever attended and i wish i could make it to the rematch at the same stadium on Monday 20th July, 2009 at 8.45pm.
Manchester United VS Malaysia XI at Bukit Jalil National Stadium was great.

IMGP2816
Although my tidak apa attitude cost me dearly as i could not get those better sitting ticket as it was all sold out, i only manage to get this

MU Asia Tour 2009 Ticket
RM58 ticket. 

IMGP2830
Although the whole stadium was filled with MU fans, but their heart really goes to the Malaysia team.  They are not super stars, not super expensive players but their fighting spirits really capture the heart of all Malaysian in the stadium. 

IMGP2828
People are shouting and cheering non stop when Michael Owen came out for warming.  He is really and truly a fantastic player.

IMGP2893
Look at the crowd that jam packed the LRT station.  They have to pulled down the gate and let people in batch by batch.  I wonder when they will finally board the train.

Right in front of the station, you will see a big tree with a Dato prayer under the tree. 
Big Treetemple 3 Time reach the temple is around 1.50pm and it is about 60km away from the BIG ROCK.
Method of Praying.
You buy incense from the temple (RM 5).
Pray to 雷公 (the GOD) and all other GODs in the temple.
There are many GOD's to pray for number but normally people will pray from the main God 雷公 or the Dato.
First ask permission from the GOD to ask for number. You throw the 胜杯 (put it high up above your head and let it go). If both are closed mean disagree.  If both open mean laughing at you but if one open and one closed, it means you got approval to ask for number.

How much is it cost ?  Only RM 5 for the incense and whatever amount you like for donation into the donation box.
求签 胜杯 
         求签                             胜杯

After getting approval then you start 求签. You shake the tube until one number come out and it will be your first number.  Repeat this until you get all your four number and buy it in sequence.  But when you shake and many come out at once, just put it back and shake again.

Let’s pray that i strike empat ekor this week and i will surely going back there to thanks GOD.
