i like to soccer

first off, i SWEAR i did not make up the opposition's name.
it's how it is.
i copied it off the game roster thing.

second off, yep it's me again, and yep i'm feeling emo.
well the question is when am i NOT feeling emo.
bloody emotions and the way they take you to a place you know is wrong but still want.

and so i've decided to NOT do the emo thing (be unreliable and pike on my responsibilities and commitments) and actually honour my commitment and post on this blog!

so the game was at 8.20, a good time cos it's early enough to not make you dead for the next day, and late enough for working ppl to actually rock up to on time.
...except for daz
=P
daz might even beat me as the most unreliably UN-puntual person there is.
and that's saying something.
just like we also found out that mel might beat me as the most forgetful person there is.
ladies and gents, THAT is saying something.
I'm the kinda person who goes "Guess what happened on tuesday?... blah blah blah..."
* Listener's response after patiently waiting for me to finish :
"you already told me that, victor.
5 minutes ago."

i rock up, and mel goes "hey victor, long time no see! how was sydney?"
...
.....
.......
deja vu.

yep that's right, i had already seen her since my trip to syd over the long weekend!
remember sister act 2?!

speaking of bad memories and let downs, after the match, before the sweat had even stopped dripping, everyone was already up and ready to go to chaddy for a night of VIP shopping..
...
only to be told by liang that it is NEXT tuesday not tonight.
tonight was only David Jones VIP shopping night.
...
no one wants to go anymore.
but wow, just to go on a tangent here,
me and a mate from work bought a cake from DJ's in chaddy on the weekend.
WOW, quality stuff!
didn't know DJ food hall would actually be good.
quite the gourmet place actually.
mmmm....black forest cake...mmm..
(my fave)..

ANYWAY, ...what were we talking about..
oh that's right.
soccer.

so we lost.
....
oh no..not again.
i forgot the score again.
ALWAYS escapes me..
i think it was like 7-5.

all i remember is that we all scored!
i know, even yours truly!
and left foot too!
haha
in between the keeper's legs.

daz also scored; his goal the result of a lot of scrambling and chasing and not giving up, on daz's part.
it was pretty nice.
liang injured himself, tripping over the net.
i think that's the thing for our team this season.
by the end of our season every player on our team must trip over themselves with no help from the opposition.
i've done it.
daz has done it.
now liang has done it.
NOICE.

greg made a guest appearance tonight...and brought a goal along with him!
what a way to end the season of 2006...with a goal.
(tonight's match being greg's and my last match of the year)

peter in the goals, as usual, made many award winning saves.
he's getting fast now with the ball, when he runs to pick up the ball, he hurriedly looks up and chucks the ball to one of us..all in the same stride, keeping the momentum!
that's skill and experience right there.
the only thing i might suggest, peter, is not to gorge on a dodgey dumpling banquet right before the match.
honestly, i ate less than half you ate and i'm still feeling it.
and it's 10.30 pm.

justin, as usual, had lots and lots of shots on goal...and capitalised 2 of them!
although with the lack of subs (only 1 at any given time tonight) he looked a lot worse for wear.
in fact we all did.
we're all getting unfit.

we don't practise at anderson park like we used to.
maybe next year for the mixed team we will.
after all, it'll all be new players.

anyway it's off for me.
i'm getting tired.
and for some reason my head is kinda spinning and feeling light headed.
kinda like i'm about to jump off a cliff.
