It was Asean Games, football final men category...
and it was Malaysia vs Vietnam.
Indeed a very inconvenient fact i happen to be there.
Yet, that was the night i will always remember,
watching the whole match in 2 different places,
from the cozy coffee shop with a warm, delicious and amazing bowl of Pho Bo ( beef noodles)
and the never ending smoothies,
i was very confuse dont know which to support actually,
or i decided to support the goal... which i always do...
The coffee shop closed quite early and we switched back to our 'original' hotel (we changed 3 hotels in 3 days) to continue watching...
It was a breezing cold night i suppose, and staying inside, hearing people cheering 'co len' and my heart did silently hope for Vietnam to win after knowing they waited for 50 years for that...
It was a pity it was not a success for Vietnam, but i didnt really feel happy for Malaysia, cause it was not a clear win after all.
Anyways, the streets were still full of cheering despite being the silver medalist again, and the atmosphere really made me felt Vietnamese people do love their country. Surely a fact, it is more than Malaysian, they would only maybe cheer for MU for their endless victories over pub but never for their country or it's just me that didn't experience that.
Co len, Vietnam... im sure the 26th Asean Games, you will really win.
