Haha, here's a change...I dreamt of Ruud van Nistelrooy last night!

I happen to be selected to a Manchester United Junior Training Camp, which was a worldwide event. And then we had to choose a player to be our "buddy" for the camp, depending on what position we play. Of course I chose Ruud!

As the camp went on, we learnt all kinds of stuff about football, even stuff like being a good sport. We watched this video of a match between Man U and Real Madrid. It was 2-2, and David Beckham (in Real Madrid) had to score a penalty. The ball didn't actually go in, but it was very close. However, Becks still went and celebrated with his Real Madrid team mates. Ruud and I *sighed*, and thought it was so sad that he could do this kind of thing, after all, he used to be a part of Man U, and his former team mates were there as well.

The next day, Sir Alex Ferguson came to talk to us campers. When it was my turn to get spoken too, Ferguson said that I needed to learn how to swirve the ball properly. I was so scared I was gonna kicked out of camp for being a lousy player. I got all depressed, and luckily Ruud was there. He held my hand and ran with me to the field and we practised and practised...and then he told me I needed to buy special shoes... We looked at the Nike catalogue and we went "argh..." cos all the prices were in US dollars and we took so long to convert currency, hehe!

I woke up feeling so in love with Ruud...wow...imagine that, huh?
