Soccer Week (Mon & Fri)
Playing in an unfamiliar position on Monday did not make me match up to my expected potential through the play between R18 and R19's match on Monday.
Started with the left midfield, playing for the opposition due to their lack in numbers, I tried to create some passes and manage to hit one shot on target but yet saved by the goalie of R18; Marcos. Quite frustrating but it was fun anyway. Unforunately, my play ends 10 minutes later and I was back to the substitute bench.
The 2nd opportunity came with this time round, playing for R18; the right midfield. Only minutes of introduction ends my chance to play at my preferred position and to perform. I only managed to get contact with the ball once and that's it. Sad to say, I'm was warming up the bench throughout the 1st half of the game.
2nd half came and I played the last 20 minutes of the match in a left back position. I tried my best to defend but yet, we conceded again and again. I had a string of good passes but failed to execute a good finish. Even at the dying minutes, I missed the chance for a header, probably also due to the high leg from the opponent that I feared myself from suffering from a concussion just like John Terry. Scary...
End of the match, with us leading 4 -1 yet losing 6 - 7. What a great comeback from R19. We tried but complacency and team effort were the 2 things lacking in the team. I got a few comments from my mates that I've performed much better compared to street soccer but I brush off the comments that I was just trying my best. Am I good? Nah... Not really...
Let's hope the next game we play would be a better score line, especially to our team's favour.

Today's soccer was a short one. Just an hour of play and I need to head home to attend some serious matters regarding to my future. Anyway, I was not performing that well as I was still exhausted from morning's incident.
I had IPPT the day before and my body is aching. In search for more rest, I end up waking up at 5.30am during this holiday as my Mum placed her phone (with her alarm on) at my room table, which kept ringing till I had to wake up and switch it off. By then, I'm awake. =.="
I scored a goal today. Not a good execution but a painful experience I guess. One of the worst goals I ever scored. John crossed the ball to me which all I had to do was to tap the ball in. Yet, the placement of the ball was too high, which hit my groin area. I dont need to explain more from here but yeah, the ball went in. GOAL!!
I was feeling the pain by then. Ouch... How did I score such a crazy goal using a crazy technique. Guess... its a good experience I could regard as the best moments during my play of all soccer matches; The painful goal I ever scored.
More things to do tomorrow, with an adventure race and a visit to Sitex fair I guess. I'm hoping to have a night run again. Strange... Maybe I like to run? Or there's something for me to prove to myself...
Cheers... Night...
