Xmas Lightings & HYPE over Michael Owen

wondering what's with the title up there? yeap.. you're right! i had a date with one of the most prominent football stars in the World - Michael Owen, ermm just for 5 mins. technically it's a date.. cos i was actually at the same venue where he stood on stage, looked at us and smiled :). we breathed the same air man! the word DATE was to make ppl envious of me! HHAHAHAH... go thump your hearts ppl... i got to meet Michael Owen!!! =P

yeah yeah. that was a very lame and shallow paragraph. im already over with the hype. it wasn't anything special. just that a so called PROMINENT world cup footballer came to officiate the lightings of Newcastle, in which he merely stayed for like 5 mins? oh no.. 4, discounting the 1 min he had his back on us because of the photo taking session with the media. so we're like HUH? that's all...?

but it was something new to me, cos it was the first time i was experiencing the Xmas feel in a different country. plus it was freezing cold.. the Xmas feel was more vibrant.. well thanx to the music performances displayed during the wait for Michael Owen; we had a hippy time, dancing to the familiar Xmas songs played thru out the session. though the night was freezing cold, we had a wonderful time. i duno bout my friends.. but they seemed hyped that they got to see MO too... well maybe except for one.. u know who u are HAHAHHAA...

some pics to share..
