ok this post is dedicated to my beloved hockey squad.
pitch training on monday : was a very good session. worked on ATTACK vs DEFENCE where the midfielders (myself, rovin, cst) were grilled on how to string together a few strategic passes and runs to make our attack lethal. things werent really going to plan for the first few attempts .. strikers not running to where they were supposed to..midfielders not releasing the ball fast enough and to the wrong person..coach was real pissed. :/ haha..frustrated, he called for a time out and gathered all of us in a circle.
he stared at us with cold, menacing eyes..his eyebrows furrowed with seething anger from within..
" im really dissapointed. from my very first training with you until now, u all have not improved a single bit. "
ouch that was like being pierced by a arrow right into, and through the velvet folds of my heart. over 150+ hrs of training..and no improvements? but deep down, i have a voice telling me
we have ALL improved as a team. the results speak for themselves..we were thrashed by our seniors 1-3 in our very first competitive match together as lil j1s, fine. we drew them 0-0 months later. we were thrashed by MI in our first encounter too, but narrowly lost out to them by a single goal in our subsequent encounter. we were beaten 0-3 at the hands of JWSS in our first meeting, but drew 0-0 with them in the next.
over the months, i have seen all my friends improved in terms of basics, sweepings, hits and of cause, stamina. when they first joined the team in j1, they had no knowlege of hockey whatsoever. most of them didnt know wad hockey was about. look at pple like wkkennybenyangpramudywstanadichinlumkesterkennethcst now,most of them are already around there,equal or better den me in terms of standards..and i had hockey background in regent sec..trainings are more serious and disiciplined now, unlike the usual trainings with no sense of urgency during our j1 days. i sae we keep up the gd work .. !
TOURNAMENT IS 24 DAYS AWAY.
1 : tp
2: yj
3: tj
4: vj
5: rj
as u can see, we have back to back matches against vj and rj. haha..wad a thrilling week it will be for us.
lets continue the remarkable legacy left behind by our seniors, or even surpass it.
nandadattebayo !

first i had charlie chan chem tuition ..learnt ionic equilibira today. haha..at least, finally. the lecture notes seem to make sense ..
but i will like to talk about the happening match between my soccer team and some myanmar guys from NP. haha..wad can i say? played forward for the first 25mins, their defenders were a nightmare with legs like tree trunks. n they were all shouting myanmar language to one another so we didn haf a clue as to wad they were talkin bout. their football was good at times, but unlawful most of the time..haha..the match was rather ill-tempered and had to be disrupted many times due to "close" encounters. there was a particular encounter which nearly got outta hand and could have erupted into something like an arsenal-manutd free for all. the final score was 3-3. we scored 1 from open play, 2 from corners. they scored 2 from massive bloopers by our gk and 1 from a thunderous pot shot from like 15m out. wonderful stuff. haha..it really felt great to be playing field soccer again. =DD
after that, one of the guys came over and talked to me because he recognised the pjc shirt i was wearing. his english was ok and it was interesting talking to a foreigner..haha..he's one funny lad i tell ya all. he asked if i noe this -ger- from the /04 hockey team .. she left for poly already. i said yeah..and he got so excited..haha and bombarded me with many more qns bout tt ger but too bad i dont really noe her personality. hahaa..sorry pter.

played soccer today. been so long since i last kicked around with my frends. feels like home again..haha..
our team : myself / adi / kai / stan vs the rest..
we were god like today :D adi gave us an aim: to go 10 matches unbeaten. well..we nearly achieve that! .. but playing match after match ( 3goals per game ) ..was fckin tiring. and fatigue soon took its toll on our shagged legs. all of us were scoring today .. haha .. even the gk added his own name to the score sheet at times. kai was playing like he never played socccer for years. stan was kicking about like a dog ( no offence to u ) which has been chained up for many years, and finally unleashed today! hahaha..and i was well...just being my normal pathetic self.. i din play well today. was really dissapointed with my first touches and game sense today. some of my passes were bloody wayward as well, it was as if i was in my own dimension playing with fookeat and myself !! merpa ! haha..but well, managed to score quite a couple of goals too..but most of them were long range pot shots. =/ ah well. didnt show my dissapointment at the court..but deep down, i was thinking.. fuck wad have i been doing?? studying, studying and no physical fitness training. ----> super unfit fookeat. going to run at the track and work out at the cck gym tmr. i have a soccer match tmr against some myanmar team at nyp.. and hopefully SRC HOckey training on sunday..and 1.5 hr hockey pitch training with my be-be-beloved hockey squad!! haha..the team means more den pjc itself to me oh man.
haha..at the 9th game on the 9th game winning streak, our engines just could not vroom vrrooom. our legs were too heavy by then. we lost the game 2-3. chin lam scored the winning goal. arhhh u'd get it on monday chin lam ! hahaha...
anyway..went to westmall for a walkabout with her.. and i just have to add this comment: singapore neighbourhood shopping malls are lousy, cept maybe for causeway point. .. they're always the same..selling the same old things, having the same old " LAST FEW DAYS " fairs at the first floor ...
anyway. going out for dinner with my family ...hopefully ill get to eat some good food without paying :D

wad a week it has been for me..
been mugging so much i tihnk i lost some of my sanity
on monday we went to changi airport .. and mugged til 12. to those who ask : issit condusive..quiet? yep =)
the food is exp though.. but if u want fastfood but not the usual likes of bk,kfc,mc, there's Popeye Chickens for u at level 2 =) ..haha i pronounced it as Pop Eye at first..didnt see the link between Popeye the Sailor man and food lah. den ben and baoloonw were like crackin up all over. hahah..baoloon was coming up with lotsa "not-funny-at-all-but-still-laugh-until-peng" sex related jokes. typical of him :D haha..but yeah, those jokes kept us sane and awake for the many hours, plus, there was a pool table just 2 m from us. $2 per game. wad a distraction! haha..we managed to refrain ourselves, but after an hour or so, the temptation was too much to bear. i watched ben vs baoloon. i didnt wanna play cus ill definetely lose, and waste my $1. whao baoloon got talent..haha..the best in pjc ive seen so far ( ive seen little actually ) ... there was this shot he made whereby he was scooped ( tts the term right ? ), but he managed to get out of the scoop and score. he lobbed his white ball over 2 of ben's ball .. to hit his yellow ball into the hole. hahaha..ben was like " zhai man zhai man ! "
but all the mugging was of lil use. the monday paper was fucking hard. but come to think of it, its okay..the harder the better. more pple will fail..so my failure wont be much of a significance. heh heh. kidding yea
i missed hockey.
i missed delta. ntu. ccab.
at the pitch .... all my troubles seem so far away. haven touched my grayx4000 for days lah..i missed the feel of the grip..the contours of the curve and bend..the pungent smell of the stick after training..my hands are trembling now...guess its the withdrawal symtoms .. I MISS HOCKEY. anyway, speakin of hockey, i shall never make a joke about other teams on my blog again =). didnt mean to offend the cjc pple, cmon i didnt even haf a reason to. its not like i dislike them or wad. ..hahaha..
neway, next pitch training is on monday.. .
starts counting down the days to monday ..
monday..monday...monday..

this is entirely dedicated to our dear old Ultimate Mati feel sorry for you. firstly, i do not look down on my team mates. lookin down on my team mates? lol wtf ? if i looked down on my team mates .........
1. why did i, during the jjc, opted to leave myself out of the starting line up to let pramodth play right mid as the other positions were already occupied? yeah it gives me an advantage to analyse the jjc defence in greater depth..but given a chance, who would prefer to analyse the game or PLAY the game 2. why did i, tried to let everyone have their equal chance for shining for the team during the previous matches? i bet the forwards arent really happy with the rotation policy. yeah, but why did i do it? simple lah, there were 7 forwads vying for a place limited only to 3 forwards. tried my best to negotiate with them, hope those the original 3 forwards dont see it as im looking down on their abilities. great teams like Manchester United have rotation systems. we are not even great. hope u see the picture. imagine the 3 forwards playing 100% of the game, dont u feel a pang of sadness/guilt that ur other 4 four friends were sitting at the side lines the whole time? they came all the way from home to NTU with sticks..shinpads..hmmm and tt guy thinks i look down on my team mate ( S ). starting to think its funny? it gets more laughable. 3. kester and some others can vouch for this. i doubt Ultimate Mat ( ULTIMATE..lol ) nv saw how i actually talked to Mr Chia to discuss a plan to have ChinLam involved in the game. ok no offence, he might not be as fast as some of us, he might not have physical fitness like most of us.. but hey, he is our TEAM MATE. a FRIEND. so naturally i wanted chin lum to play..but mr chia advised me not to ask sunil to play chin lam..as it may be too direct. yah. so ultimate mat, wad have u got to say? looking down on team mates? heh.u think i got an attitude problem , its just ur perception problem. and please come out of tt dark cupboard in which ur hiding and reveal who u are. i feel sorry for u..seriously i do. and i think i need to talk to you. =) yeah im a Cocky-Hocky player. but i noe my limits, u can call me a fucking arrogant guy who's so full of himself, do it. i dont even give a monkey's bladder full of urine about it. notice anything in the my posts that tried to defend myself for being cocky lyk u suggested? actually, i dont even know why i spent 15mins of my valuable time posting this crap. i don have to justify myself to whoever u are. i don see the need to. but i guess ur different..i feel really sorry for u thts why i thought u shd be the exception to the rule..hahaa.. so go ahead, call me a cocky-hocky ( anyone see the rhyme) but dont ever say i look down on the rest of the team mates. i will kiss u with my fists.

wad a hockey-lified day first me ben wk yw went to imm bk to mug...but after 1 hour, none of us had our notes out except me..but it was reawlly hard trying to memorise facts like " enzyme is a globular protein because of .... " when they are there yakking away.. hahaha. eventually we ended up playing handphone games...sighhh..wad a buncha of helpless folks...after that we took a cab to NTU for our match against cjc. wow, our driver is one skilled driver lah. approaching a cross road of 2 routes..... taxi was heading for the wrong routekeat : eh uncle! wrong turn!!uncle: orh.he applied a sudden brake and SOMEHOW kinda like drifted his cab into the correct orientation with the right route lah..wow..if he didnt pull it off, our cab will have slammed into the barrier already..zhai driver. haha.well lets go on to the match..all of us were playing real hockey today..kept their attacks reduced to the midfield..and we had lotsa possesion of the ball in the final third of the pitch..but somehow, the goal we needed just did not materialise...and i didnt really see how they scored their goal but i know it was definitely a soft goal to concede. hats off to them though. =) after the match, we had a gruelling training session..and got a nasty knock on the chin when me and wk collided while running at top speed head on. i was still seeing stars 15mins after the incident..sigh. it was like a visit into hell and back for me. keep getting scolded by coach. hmm...its not like i played shit hockey or wad..but i just cant fuckin' get his point. was confused 3/4 the time. life's a pitch. hahaha..i cant seem to be on the same frequency with the coach. i dont know why. somehow our neuron pathways are just damn different i guess.. sigh.

ACK.after soccer, i sat at my table and put my chemistry notes infront of me. but somehow, there was no Chemistry between me and my chemistry notes ( ok i noe some of u will go, UUUURRRRK! ) ..but its true. after 15mins of trying to get into the grooove,i gave up and went to take a short nap...and woke up 4 hours later.pissed with myself, i went straight back to the notes, but this time, there was this...disgustingly-shrill-highpitched-and-totally-cmi voice booming from donnu where. she was singing some canto song..( hav nth against canto songs but she made it sound like as if she was trying to add abit of angmoh accent into her canto singing?! merp. ) But somehow ........amidst the burning anger within me......i soon got entranced by the song. wtf. it was some weird song..but it was catchy. the kinda songs tt u hate at first..but gradually grows on u..with its tunes repeatingly surfacing in ur ear drums.well at least i managed to complete [ Group 7: Halogens ] notes..kinda pleased with myself. =Dthings got better when my parents brought us out to dine at SiamKitchen..my favourite thai cuisine restaurant. :D i will keep those things u said a secret and tts a promise frem me to u.

i was at yewtee mac to mug for my comin CmonTest when a group of xiao ah bengs ( smalll sized small fries ) come to moi table and told me to go outside and "jiang hua" ( meaning talk ). i noticed them staring at me the moment i walked into mac, wat a buncha scumbags.
i said " wots ur problem?? "
den there was this guy with golden bleached hair and had a facial complexion tt resembed a heavily used sand paper. his breath stank and he said this " see ur face buay song " i was lyk wth. so many pple in mac looking. even the staff. i donnu why i did it, but i instinctively packed up my notes and followed them out of the mac. i knew where they were bringing me to; the 5th level of the multi storey carpark. true enough. suddenly i found myself with 5 or 6 scums..they were all freaking small sized can?? i mean, ok, im already considered small, but omg, these guys were smaller. u noe those short scums that walk around CCK / YT / Teckwhye in a group? wearing brightly coloured super branded shirts like " ECKO " and fake STUSSY" ...or even " NO FEAR ? " with tt super pathetic looking skull..with text like " RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN " or ... " I DONT PLAY TO PLAY. I PLAY TO WIN. " .. ?? and they usually wear those shirts with 3/4s ? those $12.50 per pair at pasa malam? yeah..those guys were lyk tt. hahaha. anyway, i felt kinda worried..but at the same time i knew i could take em on 1 on 1. PJC HOCKEY PLAYER here. ahem. after saying some garbarge in hokkien which i could not understand, one of them just started to launch ( yes, wats so funny wif it..hahaha) a kick at me. i thought, okaaayyy...here it goes. . .
after like 5mins, the police came. .. they started taking down names and asking for details.. the rest too lazy to type. anyway, i took a video clip of the police scolding them ..haha..anyway, im shagged. ....gp on friday. fuck.

epl soccer -> manchesterunited 0 crystal palace 0 , argh wtf. lacklustre performance by my fave team..watched it with my hockey frens, stan and wk. we were flabergasted. downright pissed off..the title is over and lost.
the return of the king. welcome to the 2nd series of LotH ( lord of the hockey ).. why "return of the king"? cus baby, the king of hockey is back from suspension. hahahah..k tt was crap. anyway we played against jjc today in wad could be described as a highly charged match. stepping out onto the greenery of the pitch has never felt much better. its been a hard week, so it definetly felt great to be out there with the team. its like all my troubles are abolished..to a faraway place. we all did really well ..defence was rock solid and midfield was extremely pacy ( haha we are all too fast for those snails, no disrepect to jjc =) ] the forwards were opening up play..yeah, everything was done according to game plan. their captain was up against me most of the time during the match, but i haf to say, i outplayed and outpaced him. haha..call me egoistic, im just trying to be wad my parents thought me since i was a lil kid : honest. well it was a pity we didnt convert any of our chances..so the scored stay at 0-0 til the final whistle. we are playing them on monday again. i should expect a shower of goals to rain upon them on monday. cmon pj lets kick ass! anyway, did my second cwo in 2 weeks today. thankfully, there wasnt any reunion with Eddie the Fish..all i did was to water the plants ..and tts tt! hahahahaha.. =) went to KAP to study..vectors. sucha pain in the ass. haha..ciao
