What a week

The past week has been extremely eventful. If you count last sunday as this week, i would say i have started and completed the week as what i would have liked.

Sunday, Kum's Club vs Team Slayers. We lost 2-1. Honestly, i didnt expect this result. The pitch was totally screwed up. Flooded and waterlogged. We were really unlucky. All the shooting positions we fancy were filled with water, so whenever we wanted to pull the trigger, the water would get in the way. Kudos to Kum s Club. Even though i know they didnt plan to play defensive, they had the players to pump the ball. Everytime we moved forward, they will clear the ball high and far and all will chase. We were dumb to play our favourite passing game on this type of screwed up pitch. At least i played pretty well. Almost spoilt everything with an attempted back pass but the damn ball stop metres away from Ting Soon. Then Hisyam came from behind and rob the ball but over kicked it and Ting Soon managed to save my blushes. Overall i played ok, but we did not. They scored 2 controversial goals, one the ball clearly went over the byeline but they pulled it back and did a goal line scramble to squeeze it in after we all thought it was a goalkick. Their second goal involved an offside position after a through pass was made. Anyway no point moaning about all this, next time, we must play on a good pitch and then we will show our best. So far, no matches we played we played to our best. I m still waiting for our best.

Monday was nothing much. Had chinese bi weekly, should be ok, maybe can pass. heh.

Tuesday was chinese prelim oral. Read the passage ok, not outstanding. I think i had maybe 2 words read wrongly. Conversation i felt i talked too little. My answers wasnt good enough to leave a good impression on the examiner.

Wednesday had the inter-schools national cross country finals. Went to turf city as expected every year for CIP. This time, i m not the one standing there to do crowd control, but supervising those standing there. Feels good. Got to slack some more. Rocks.

Thursday, Shawn, Zi Xiang, Ming all went to take the form for the Sports Fiesta after an announcement was made for teams to participate. They were really damn enthu. In the end, they forced me to be captain. Damn, it s super troublesome. Have to go for those briefings and settle all the admin stuff. Anyway, not really satisfied as Nabhan is playing for us. I dun think i will even get to play much. 5 a side. 8 players. The players are:

Ting Soon
Ming
Ying Lun
Shawn
Nabhan
Jun Jie
Zi Xiang
Me

Our class had a team B made up of the rest who wanna play. Anyway, immediately after school, we settled the money and submitted the form to the office. FIRST one to submit. haha. even the admin person was stunned. got the form on one day and submit it a few hours later. super on.

Friday, had bio test. Mugged damn little for it. But at least i already mugged weeks before, so at least had some image of what i ve revised. Can pass but missed out some important points that i know but just forgot to write. Then after school had english oral. did ok as well. reading the teaching made me sound like i just started learning english. words like particular, continued, process and placard and pronounced wrongly. But the examiner said she was impressed with my picture conversation. Dunno what was with me at that time, i just talked so normally and logically. haha. some points i didnt even prepare just came out of my mouth. and i sounded confident. so picture should be quite a high mark. yea. after that went for training. shooting. at least my aiming is still there, proving my marksmanship. heehee. went to queensway after training to buy an orange jersey for the UG games day. in the end got an orange arsenal cut nike jersey. 27 bucks. maybe will print name and number some other time.

Saturday, had the interunit that we have been waiting for a long time. went to school at 7.30 and started about 8 plus. Started as sub for the 2 group games and played 2 full matches for semis and finals. lucky my ncc sec 3 was able to play CB, or else i will be forced to play there. in the end i moved to RB even though i was CB in group games. We were good. passing the ball around, and defended well. our keeper hardly needed to do anything, just stand there to sun tan. i think i played well again. didnt make mistakes at all, did my job, and was consistent. bonus was that i kept possession for my team and passed well. yay. only thing i think i could have done better was to be more decisive whether to move up against the striker or wait. i m more of a sweeper who likes to sweep all the loose balls, which mean i like to wait for opponents to come at me. THe defence was well balance as i let the CB be the stopper and move up and try to get a tackle in while i wait as the last man, or if you like, secondary defender. that s where i play best. we played with a back 3 and were stable, slayers should learn from this. the only thing i disliked was the lack of freedom. as it was back 3, i cannot just run up without guranteeing i will get the ball upfield. if i cannot get back in time, there will only be 2 defenders in line. scary. and the other player are truly attacking players, they cant be bothered to defend wholeheartedly. ok enough of inter unit. oh did i say, we won it anyway. shawn's NPCC got second. Scouts were 3rd. disappointed for SJIMB, band. Lucas was like the star man. he played mostly on LM and played well.

Anyway, Spurs leading 1-0 oever arse now. hope this improves with maybe 3-0. and liverpool win big over wigan.
