diva la futbol tops it baby!!
and so.. ive been busy this week.. but it definitely
topped off w a good day of soccer.. haha..
played in diva la futbol held at the turf city..
eazy, fil, ivy, hidayah, sophia, roz and i were nanyang girls A.. there was a team B too.. everyone thot that we were from nanyang girls high.. but thatz juz stupid coz majority of us were malay.. now how many malay girls do u see at nygh??! none that i know abt or seen.. haha..
so herez how the tournament goes.. there were like i think 12 groups.. with 4 per group, and the top two teams will get into the diva champions cup and the bottom 2 into the diva cup.. quite ingenuis like champions league and uefa cup.. smart.. and u expect them to be since the organisers are smu students.. haha..
nanyang A which had nuriah(captain) made it to the semiz and lost to bballers, who won last yearz diva and won it again on sat.. so yar.. their defence is good manz.. but i think theyre a bit confused.. *ponders* so.... ure bballers player soccer... riiiiite.... they were even wearing their bball jersey when they played.. bleah..
my team dropped out in the quarter-finals of the diva cup but shld have gotten into the semiz and at least 3rd place..
rmb the FA cup finals btw man utd and arsenal? i believe it was 2years ago.. the year when arsenal went unbeaten 49games and man utd crushed them.. hahaaa.. anywayz.. that final was dominated by man utd.. and shld have won it in regular time.. but lost on penalties instead.. exactly what happened in the my quarterz match.. suck manz..
we were camping in their half for the whOLE 15mins!!!!!!!!
i cant believe we lost on one lOUsy penalty (it was a sudden death)..
why does the ball have to be sO stUPIDLy rOUNd!!!!!!!the team we played were seriOUSLy lOUsy.. i juz needed to pressure the defender and the ball wld sURELy go out for a kick-in or a corner.. hhahahaa.. that was fun..
feedback from the seniors and coach..
our passing was grEAT and i think so too.. my passing was coolnessly accurate yesterday.. hahaha.. we passed the ball ard w vision and stuff like that.. haha.. we played as a team lah.. that was really cool.. (: can feel the
soccer team growing closer already.. it was difficult trying to fit into a dominately malay soccer team.. but it was defintely worth it.. :D
the fields were
muddy but i dun think we minded it aft we start playing.. but we ARE girls aftall and it really sucks to see nice clean boots all horridly muddy.. good thing i didnt fall.. i almost tho.. haha.. that would reALLy suck..
and a revelation.. haha.. for the first time, i agree w tnpz soccer babe tracy.. she said that the refz were "over-protective" and i sO agree.. a bit only blow, a bit only blow.. what the crap manz.. i was like "
come on ref.. that wasnt a foul!!".. and i'll shake my head and continue playing.. sigh.. well.. at least all the refs were consistant in making decisions.. kudos to them for that.. coz itz diff to be consistant like that when ure talking abt a large number of refs..
oh u know.. w literally my first touch of the ball, i was
stAMPed on!! i mean really
sTAMPED!! therez like a super big blue black on my left foot now.. itz a good thing she didnt stamp any lower or harder or she might have broken my metertarsal manz..
hmm.. itz actually on the small field at a faster pace that i see that im
muCh better on the right than left.. i make decisions alot faster on the right than left.. (: interesting.. and i can tell that im better going up than coming back.. hahaa..
oh well.. generally, it was a day of
fun and laughter and good soccer..our soccer team happen to sit beside the dj console which turned out to be a really good partnership.. wahhaa..
we ended up plugging in our zens and ipods and choosing songs we wanted.. the dj also thot us to use the system.. haha..
we had
lOADsa siNGing and dANCing going on throughout the day until both teams started feeling kinda down aft losing.. i think the emcee(he sat on the stage which was beside where we sat) was watching us for entertainment.. hahaa.. as was everyone else near us in the spectators tent.. hahaa.. we were
cRAZy and eNjOying it lah.. hahaa..
i think i was so happy that i even dreamt abt soccer that nite.. wahahaa.. that was cool.. hehe.. itz my way of thinking thru wat i cld have done different.. i do that quite often esp when ive had a bad day in training or sth..
oooo.. almost forgot.. i ran in the campus roadrun on wednesday.. joined as a team w the soccer girls.. i came in 16th.. ivy came in 17th right behind me and fil came in 11th.. coolioz rite!! im 16th!! hahaa.. i was kinda afraid coz i hadnt ran "competitively" since sec2.. so yar.. my 2.4km timing was a 12min sth.. didnt see my exact timing.. itz off the 10.50 i did in sec2 but itz a good timing considering the fact this is the first time ive timed my running and was running at a faster pace than i wld if i ran alone.. and the route had plenty of slopes.. (: actually.. thatz those were the parts i loved best.. wahhhaa..
ivy said i was sICk.. overtaking everybody on the slopes.. hahaah.. Oooo..
my tag number was 420 and i came in
16th.. hahaa.. that was cool.. 4 is one of my fav numbers and 20, u all know whoz darlingz number it is rite.. haha.. and 16 was my index number for quite many years in pri and then in crez.. (: so that was niCe.. heehee~
anywayz.. back to reality.. ive got 2 more weeks of sch left.. my first paperz on the 4th of aug.. last paper on the 11th.. and juz in time manz.. my
womenz league starts on the 12th.. haha.. yAY!! cant wait for that..
