well.. this blog wasn't really inspired by anyone in particular and i wouldnt even mind if no one bothers to read it at all. but if anyone actually wants to know more about my fascinating life, here it is. well this is my first attempt at blogging. so guys give me a chance. i hope i dont bore anyone with my highly thrilling life. now where do i begin.....
i got out of bed yesterday not really in the best of moods. my nose was literally running like a tap. i checked my phone and was taken aback by the shocking message that i received. pw meeting was scheduled for 12 noon that day. what a pleasant surprise. but i didnt really feel like meetin again and doing the same stuff twenty times over. who in the world would want to meet EVERY SINGLE DAY just to do such a senseless subject like pw. not me. anyway, since it was already ten pass eleven and it was impossible for me to ever get to the venue on time, thus i made the heroic decision to actually skip the event.
OH and i was supposed to go to church in the afternoon at about one, but i opted to give it a miss too. the state of my nose gave me sufficient reason to do so. it had literally became a waterfall. so i fished out Lost season 1, which nat had lent me, from my bag and began watching the first episode. it was indeed a riveting show. however, much to my dismay, my terrible blocked nose was giving me a marvelous time, thus i chose to take a short nap.
i woke up half an hour later, rejuvenated. but still with a blocked nose. nonetheless i springed out of bed and got changed. up next, a friendly game against NIE PE teachers at NTU. i still hadnt recovered from my cold. but even so, i wouldnt have thought of sitting out the match.
the first eleven- balls, longan, shirley, chia, forkspoon, 166.5, kokchoon, kianpeng, nicole lover, hanchua, ling. knowing my name wasnt in the first eleven, i was devastated. maybe eagle thought i was too lousy. or maybe he thought i had an attitude and wanted to teach me a lesson. nevertheless, the match commenced.
the match was divided into three thirds of thirty minutes. we began poorly as usual. but we soon settled into the game, much quicker than against SA. kianpeng was having the game of his life, holding the ball up well, distributing the ball to teammates in space and constantly biting on the heels of his opponent, hercules. he hardly put a foot wrong the entire third. with our captain psyduck out, chia was doing a great job marshalling the defense, making certain that balls' goal wasn't breached. the highlight of the third was good link up play between chia, 166.5 and kianpeng, splitting the defense with quick one-twos, although kianpeng screwed the eventual shot wide. however we soon conceded a soft goal due to a lapse in concentration of our rightback longan.
jason and i were thrown into the fray in the second third, with me replacing hanchua as a forward and jason replacing sien as rightmid. my job was too pressure the defense into making defensive errors. 166.5 and i seemed to be isolated at times on the left, with the play more focussed on the right wing. ling and i then engaged in some awe-inspiring football, however it lacked the end product.
jason was shortly taken out and i was subsequently shifted to my accustomed position on the right wing. i almost made a mess of a throw in. but to my disbelief, the fullback marking me also missed his clearance. i darted pass him and whipped in a majestic cross (cross number one) which was cleared but a tall defender. the midfield displayed an eye for goal with both nicole lover and kokchoon smacking in long shots which tested the keeper. special mention goes to 166.5 who provided us with glimpses of what he can do with the ball. a surging run from the right, leaving a defender in his wake, culminating with a venomous shot which the goalkeeper just managed to steer wide. lickytongue was in inspired form as he continually thwarted the opponents, especially with a magnificent save from a shot which was destined to reach the back of the net. however try as we might, the elusive goal just wouldnt arrive and thus the match ended 1-0 to the hosts. on a sad note, shirley was hit hard on the ankle and will probably join psyduck on the treatment table for quite a while. we wish him a quick recovery.
eagle said the debrief would be postponed to saturday morning. longan is surely in for a hard time. anw that sums up my first post. peace
