Living in yesterday..
the week that has just passed was quite a fruitful one! on friday, our school has this prize award ceremony for the batch of students that had just graduated from cjc..
last friday, i played with my classmates in various soccer matches after school.. wow it's like the first time i played in such competitive and tense game.. in the past, soccer games were more for fun, leisure and enjoyment, rather than for competition.. it was like a tournament..
we played 6 matches, and won
all! the scoreline was like 3-0, 3-1, 3-0, 3-2, 3-1, 3-1.. the hardest match was agains the "cjc all stars team", which also had this j1 guy with red hair, and looked damn ah beng to me.. haha.. and the most surprising thing that happened, was that i had to be a make-shift
goalkeeper!! because jaricson had dragon boat training and was thus unavailable for selection..
i did not play well, but i'm just so fortunate to have such wonderful team mates.. joseph, vyasa, niven+kesavan and ian toh.. i did not play well for a goalkeeper, but by standards, i did ok, taking into consideration that i've never played in that position before.. i felt so nervous, so tensed up.. and it wad arkward using my hands, because if i was an outfield player, i would try at all cost not to touch the ball, as it will result in a foul.. yeah so it was a rather weird, strange, but also nice and exhillarating experience!
as the game wore on, i began to fit into the position better.. i started to feel more comfortable and relaxed.. i've to thank my team mates for always tracking-back, ensuring that the defence is "water-tight".
A truely meaningful time spent with my classmates.. we surely bonded together better, as we felt the team spirit and fellowship in each of us. sorry if i'm using poor grade english because i'm typing this in a rush, and i feel sick.. :) i'm looking forward to playing with my class mates again! but hopefully not as a goalkeeper, but a right-winger or right fullback..
Arriverderci.
