1st soccer win

it's been a short week, been reading my emails and analysing some quotes which the agents have made. only left with 3 weeks to the first sailing and nothing has been confirmed, i'm starting to feel a bit worried that we need to handle a lot of last minute work. yesterday was deepavali and today is a friday, overall it's been a pretty happy week. linda has been one happy lady for the past few days and she didn't really scold me.

but today i really didn't feel like doing work. i was just busy concentrating on my soccer later and i was preoccupied with what happened on wednesday. i really had the time of my life. a lot of us were still talking about it. ying er and jamie came to talk to me the whole afternoon, jamie replied so super fast i wonder if she needed to work. i didn't even read my emails. i just couldn't concentrate on my work. jamie wanted me to write her an email since wed was so interesting, in fact she forced me. i had to do it, i looked pretty suspicious from the side even though linda couldn't see, i was typing non stop on the keyboard. she must be thinking wah i msn non stop. i couldn't stop myself of thinking about huiting today, guess from that day onwards i looked at her from a different perspective. unfortunately, we're just different in many ways.. she's really cheena speaking with an ah lian seh while i'm just a simple guy looking for simple things. anyway, i think she's got a bf so wad the hell.

today is our first soccer game. we only had 7 people.. me, kp, thomas, jonathan, max, jason, justin. thomas didn't know chuan de was not coming and zaki pulled out last minute. i can't stand zaki for pulling out last minute, it's just wrong. there are some others who chose to go for the free bowling practice rather than play football. this isn't the commitment that we want. we proved our mettle by winning the game 5-3. callaway wouters are also first timers and they had almost an entire team of middle aged men. we had 2 subs but they hardly played.. it was an intense game from start to end cos the scoreline was ever so close. we came close to killing the game at 5-2 but we let in one so they made it 5-3. it gave me a scare cos i thought the score was 4-3 and they had another shot to equalise. me, kp and jason got on the score sheet with jason scoring 3. kp put us on the driving seat with an early goal right from the start. callaway never came back. jason scored all 3 from range with one acute angle shot, if i didn't remember wrong i set up both for him. i scored one myself, i thought it was really neat. i stole the ball from the last man at the flank, sprinted, pull the ball to the left.. one on one with the gk, slotted it under his legs. it was really clinical. there was a little luck involved cos i didn't aim under his legs but wanted to get under him.

so we all went home happy with a good result to share. justin made many brilliant saves.. i guess his warm up by running from office to the cage really helps. at least we showed we can win it with 7 players. however, it was really a tiring match and we really worked hard for it.
