BORUSSIA DORTMUND TO THE FINAL

Okay been a while since I've posted!

I'm a happy man today... although I have to work on Labour Day...

Because....

BORUSSIA DORTMUND IS IN THE FINAL OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD COME

It was a nervy 2nd leg match though, with Real Madrid winning 2-0, through Benzema and Sergio Ramos goals in the 82nd minute and 88th minute, to make the final 13 minutes inclusive of the 5 minute injury time very tense for me!! in the first 20 mins, Real knocked on our door and we were not settled. Thankfully, we re-organised to hold them while making some attacks on our own. However, our finishing did let us down, also with some great saves from Diego Lopez.

Still, we won the tie 4-3 on aggregate, thanks to our 4-1 aggregate victory a week ago. Robert Lewandowski made headlines with his 4 goal blitz on Madrid ( 8', 50', 55', 67' (pen)). While Cristiano equalised in the 43 minute, our team really turned on in the 2nd half and outclassed our opponents completely.

Anyway, Bayern lead 4-0 against Barcelona in the other tie. They are playing at the Camp Nou tonight, and Bayern would be the more likely opponent in the final. And lo, we are going to play Bayern this weekend already!

This Borussia Dortmund Champions League campaign has been incredible. Though today the defeat against Madrid meant that we lose our unbeaten record in this season's Champions League, its still brings pleasant memories, especially this match:

Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Malaga CF (Lewandowski 40' Reus 90+1', Felipe Santana 90+3' ; Joaquin 25', Eliseu 82')

I experienced all the emotions a football fan goes through in just a game. Joy, sadness, excitement, anger. Woah....

Anyways..... internship have been okay so far... hate the day day night night break break shift schedule. It sucks though. Now i really miss the days at Police Academy, with Mr Teo Chun Ping and Mr Sarjit, Mr Kumar and Mr Panier. And i do miss some of my classmates at the Academy already..... and not to mention my classmates from school....

I still meet some of my classmates from time to time at the Airport and also when i went back to crash the AMS Camp 2013.

Okay... off to work at Terminal 1, Changi Airport later, fresh from the joy of my team reaching the UEFA Champions League Final!
