Kallang Roar in HK
May 2, 2009 Leave a comment
We were eating MOS Burger at MEGABOX this afternoon when we heard the familiar roar "Go! Singapore! Go!" Out of curiosity, we dashed out and watched an ice-hockey match between Singapore and Beijing. Sitting on our left was a group of Chinese and Hong Kongers and on our right was a group of Singapore Ang Mohs. They were yelling and cheering for Singapore. It was an exciting (and a very evenly matched) match between 2 groups of Under-12s. The atmosphere was fantastic and the mood was very high! Harshad (my Indian colleague), Hong Fei (my Malaysian colleague) and I found ourselves cheering for Singapore! (Urghh… I should bring out my air-horn and those infamous Hokkien/Malay slogans!)
The final score – 5-3. The young lions thrashed the Chinese flat! It has been quite a while since I last cheered for Singapore sport. Except this time, I am not at the old Kallang Stadium… I was cheering in a Hong Kong shopping mall, doing the Kallang Roar with a bunch of Singaporean Ang Mohs…. . So incredible! The Singapore Fever is here again!
