Finally!! I have time to update again! Since I have some time, I shall update on what happened on Tuesday first. The guys had planned before that we shall go to the Cage to have a game of soccer, in collaboration with Jimmy’s birthday and Eugene’s farewell since he, as well as Yang Sheng, are entering National Service on Friday.

We initially met at 6.15pm but due to some lateness, the whole thing was dragged to 7pm instead. I had made enquires before at East Coast and Kallang in regards on the futsal court but all were totally booked. In the end, the Fico Sports Hub was available on Tuesday so I booked it from 7pm to 9pm.

Yet, we came late, and we had to play the game at 8pm instead. Within an hour, it was a fast and furious game. Everyone was shooting the ball like no body’s business but still, goals were scored everywhere. I got a few shots in goal, so as the birthday boy; Jimmy. Some funny moments were there and seriously, you will be laughing your arse out once you see the replay of the goal.

For instance, Andy’s shot against Jimmy (Goalie) was a funny one. First, the shot allowed the ball to hit the post, which was supposed to be out of the goal line but thanks to Jimmy, it hit his head and off it went into the goal. Jimmy was puzzled at the beginning but once again, after knowing what had happened, he went down with laughter.

Jack was also another funny guy, with himself being the future ‘Peter Cech’, he failed to save a couple of shots. Some were due to bad luck or karma but others, due to powerful shots. One favourite of mine was the corner, which I hit hard to Andy who back-heeled it into the goal. Strike one for Jack!

Strike two came when we played at the other court, which Jimmy and I were in a team and with a low cross/pass, Jimmy connected it with his foot, tapping the ball in, which Jack had no chance to change his reflexes to stop the ball.

A few minutes later, I did the same cross/pass again and Jimmy tapped the ball once again into the goal. Strike three! The same stuff, same trick, same cross or pass, same tap, same foot, same goal. That was a funny moment but still, one more goal to end the game.

Jimmy did a chip up to the roof of the enclosed area and I headed downwards and there went the ball into the net. We won! That was Jack, feeling the pinch at the end of the mini game. Haha… It was fun but overall, Jack still plays well that night. All it matters most is he enjoyed himself at the end of the day.

We did change our court since the guys want to play another hour more. We played at 10pm to 11pm and once it was over, we had to rush for shower and chase for our bus and train, not to miss the last train to go back to our homes. Luckily we didn’t miss it or else we will be heading home by cab, spending a few dollars I guess.

Well, I just hope Jimmy enjoys his birthday, so as Eugene and Yang, for their last taste of soccer before entering for camp. For the rest of the guys who came down, hope you guys enjoy the play too. I know a lot of incidents occurred, such as sprains and injuries but still, I hope this experience, which some find it tiring, to be a fun one for everyone.

Smile as always… =] Last but not least, thanks Eugene for the gift you bought from Thailand. I really appreciate it. Especially the Manchester United key chain! That’s because I’m a Manchester United fan! Haha…

Well, good luck bro! For your N.S.! Cheers!! =]

And also, JIMMY!! BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! SMILE AS ALWAYS!! Hehe...
