I love Chelsea, but I love my money too...

Hai, tidaklah dapat dibayangkan betape gumbiranye rase di hati when finally after 3 years of waiting, last 2 week, I manage to watch Chelsea perform at Stamford Bridge and it was a home match for Chelsea vs. Wigan Athletic.

Feels like a dream jer as we entered the stadium, Lampard was right in front of us and was about to make a corner kick. Actually kitorang sampai lambat sikit disebabkan masalah yang sangatlah tidak dapat dielakkan and also sebab kitorang pulun dok makan kat Malaysian Hall. Hehe.

Nak dijadikan al kisah ceritenye, kitorang as in Zirah, Odey and I pepagi lagi dah bergerak ke train station sebab nak catch match at 3.00p.m. Sekali biler sampai jer kat train station and I pun insert jer my debit card to collet my tickets, I was like; shut, aku tertinggal rail card! I yang dah gelabah giler and Odey yang dah bising sebab it was like the most important thing kot yang you have to bring along with you when you travel by train. Since tak sempat nak patah balik amik the rail card, kitorang pun terus je la board the train. Mule-mule I yang macam cool giler (sejak biler aku cool tah), sekali biler pakcik check tiket tu datang, I was like berdebar giler, lutut sume dah menggeletar dah. Skali pakcik tiket tu buat dek aje, tak tanye lansung pasal rail card. He don’t even bother to ask Odey and Zirah jugak. I was like lega giler. Tapi still hati macam rase tak sedap jer. Pastu I yang cool balik sebab dok berborak dengan hebatnyer sampai dah terlupe pasal rail card tu.

Sekali biler sampai aje kat London, turun ajer dari train, makcik-makcik and pakcik-pakcik check tiket dah tunggu dah dekat exit. Again, I was like; shut nak check lagi ker! Mase tu serius lutut dah menggeletar balik, giler nervous macam kene tahan polis biler memandu tapi takde lesen (okay, not that I know macam mane perasaan kene tahan polis kan sebab lessen pun tak de!), tapi lebey kurang camtu lah perasaannyer. Pastu bile pakcik tu tanye; where’s your rail card, I pun buat-buat lah carik dalam beg. Then terus jer belakon; OMG! I left my rail card at home. I didn’t realize it. I thought it was in my bag. Tapi alkisah sedihnyer hati ini pakcik tu macam tak percaye (nampak sangat lakonan tak menjadi). Pastu terus die suruh ade sorang makcik ni handle my case. Betape sedihnyer lagi biler makcik tu lagi la super kerek yang tuduh-tuduh I takde rail card. Die siap yang; you don’t have a rail card don’t you? Pastu I was like; no I do have a rail card but I left it at home. I thought it was in my bag (again mengulang jawapan yang same). Pastu makcik tu yang; orang dalam train tadi tak mintak ke rail card awak? Then I said; no he didn’t. And die siap tanye Odey ngan Zirah betul ke orang tu tak tanye. Memang orang tu tak tanye pun. Pastu makcik tu cakap lagi; if you have a rail card when it is run out? I yang tak paham giler ape die cakap and terus jer tanye; what do you mean? Then die tanye lagi. Pastu lame giler I pikir then I terus jer cakap; ooo you mean the expiry date! Bongok tak tanye when it is run out. Mane lah I nak faham since time tu tengah cuak giler, pastu nak kene kursus bahase Inggeris plak kan. Paniks la I. Apekah punye bahase sebegitu rupe. Aku yang ala-ala gagap cakap orang putih ni pun tau proper words nye which is EXPIRY DATE! Hai time tu memang geram plus gelabah gak la. Pastu makcik tu punye la tak percaye ape I cakap siap pergi carik pakcik yang tanye tiket kitorang dalam train tadi. I was like; tak perlu la kot, suruh je la aku bayar jer.

Pastu biler agaknyer die carik pakcik tu tak jumpe, die pun datang balik kat I and said that I have to pay for my journey from Nottingham to London to. I was like tak kisah lah dah memang kene bayar kan. Sape suruh mengong sangat pegi tinggal rail card kan. Ingatkan bayar macam penalty jer, sekali die suruh bayar £65.50 for single journey from Nottingham to London. Bayangkan lah! I yang dalam hati; kalu dari awal ko suruh aku bayar takde la aku pissed off sangat, tapi siap nak pegi carik pakcik tiket tu pastu siap tuduh-tuduh orang lagi, pastu suruh aku bayar gak. Macam siot!!!! Then I was like being super nice and super cool dengan rela hati (tak la berape nak rela tapi pura-pura rela) dan senyum meleret sampai ke telinge keluarkan la duit. Nasib baik la tergerak hati nak bawak cash banyak sebab bongok tak bongok station London tu, debit card tak leh gune. Lagi la super siot kan (banyak betul kate-kate kesat…heh). Pastu before I leave them I siap cakap sorry lagi sebab tertinggal rail card tu tapi sekali lagi makcik tu bersikap macam siot die leh buat dek jer, siap tak pandang my face lansung. Muke die yang macam; sudah aku tak nak dengar alasan kau, omong sama jari! I was like; hello muke aku ni muke penipu ker. Muke aku ni muke pengganas ker. Tolong lah makcik baru keje check tiket kat London dah nak berlagak. Okay I’m being rude now. But still, I know it’s my fault and I did said I’m sorry and it’s still doesn’t give her the license to act that way kan.

Pastu die suruh plak beli tiket untuk return plak kat kaunter. Then I pun pegi la turun beli tiket. Bile sampai kat kaunter, makcik tu yang dah; oooh why did you go upstairs, why didn’t you come straight away to the counter. (Dalam hati yang mendidih tapi tetap maintain senyum sampai ke telinga) I pun cakap lah; I didn’t know because they were waiting at the exit gate. So I have no choice. Makcik tu yang baik giler siap cakap; you have to buy a new tiket and it cost you £53.00, ooh I feel so bad that you have to buy this tiket. At that precise moment I was like; Oh Tuhanku, apelah dosa hamba Mu ini. Then dengan hati yang sejuk sikit sebab makcik tu cam baik giler and bersimpati, I pun keluarkan lah duit again.

You guys just imagine, at the first place I bought the ticket online and it cost me £35.00 then I have to pay another £65.50 and then another £53.00 just for a journey from Nottingham to London. Hai korang buatlah tambah tolak darab bahaginyer sendirik berape I dah spent just on tiket! With that amount of money I should have been able to visit Milan 3 times kot.

AND nasib baik lah it was worth it because Chelsea WINS! And the first goal was scored by John Terry! I was like; huh though I have to pay such amount of money but it was worth it. Seriously speaking it is NOT easy to watch a defender scored a goal okay. Only the Italians do it. But yes, as one of the best defender in the world, JT did it. It was his first left footed volleyed goal and making him Chelsea’s highest scoring defender ever. He is our skipper! The experience to be in that stadium was priceless. The goal was really really unsangkerable. Macam tiba-tiba~ GOAL! The match was overall okay, though Chelsea a bit defensive rather than attacking still they manage to control the game. Tapi bile Wigan manage to equalize the score we were like cacing kepanasan sebab mase tu memang tinggal berape minit jer lagi before the whistle blows. Goal Wigan ni lagi la super duper unsangkerable. Tiba-tiba je bola dah ade dalam goal. We were like; eh bile mase diorang masuk 1 goal. Hehe. Luckily Lampard who have always been Chelsea savior manage to score the winning goal. I was really really satisfied sampai lenguh la jugak kaki-kaki dan tangan-tangan ku as if I plak yang main. Ehehe. Ooo one of the reason my kaki sakit giler is because kitorg yang dok kejap duduk kejap berdiri bukan sebab Chelsea nak score ke ape, tapi sebab abang-abang yang kat sebelah kitorang mase dalam stadium tu dok keje nak keluar ajer. Kitorang ni dah la duduk tepi skali. Pastu keliling semue lelaki-lelaki yang gagah-gagah belake. Pastu diorang ni asyik nak keluar jer. Nak terkencing kot. Hehe. So keje kitorang dok bangun duduk, bangun duduk plak.

Anyway, though I feel that it was worth it, still, dalam hati teringat-ingat muke mak cik tiket yang kerek dan duit yang terbang melayang-layang. Bukan nye sikit banyak tuh. Terpakse lah berjimat sket lepas nih. Heheh.

Hmm, like I said, I love Chelsea but I love my money too…

P/s: ever since this incident, I’ve become super careful with everything. Even ticket Rainbow 5 yang one way pun I simpan elok-elok. And since the incident I rase I ni clumsy giler, lengai giler, important thing like railcard pun boleh lupe and like I said, I know it's my fault.

P/s: please excuse my language, orang tengah pissed of kan. Kate-kate kesat tidak lah dapat dielakkan.
