4tH pLaCe

i don't think it's that bad after all.. captain's ball not only let me improve my ball sense, also bonded S Rules even tighter. :)

these few days are straining, but happy. how can i start? it's so much details to share. haha..

after we got in the 2nd round, we were more than enthu to train up than ever.. but too bad we had micro test on thursday, so training wasn't on anyway.. if not we'll be heading down to sports complex and train our passing and stuff.. micro was fine except that i figured out that i made some blunders here and there but i don't think much of it la.. BOO.

friday.. after lms we strolled over to atruim to get some slippers.. sze's mum actually accidentally threw away my slippers!!! and i had to get new ones instead.. haha.. so got some purple ones.. wanted to get brown but no size.. wanted a colour that was dirt free, but i settled on purple instead.. hmm.. then gab bought jigsaw.. i had already bought 2 boxes and completed one, then saw that there were new designs on eeyore.. so i bought another one as well.. haha!! got 3 pouches that i had to cross stitch the pictures myself.. and we (thea, sze, cole, and me) actually psychoed gab to buy one also! LOL.. i wonder how he's gonna manage with the cross stitch man.. haha!

headed down to sports complex after that started an internal competition among us lor.. but i thought that was kind of wasting time.. coz we weren't doing proper passes and our ball sense wasn't that sensitive.. kian was actually sleeping while we trained lor!! -argh- haha.. how i wish i can sleep as well.. it was no joke running around under the hot scorching sun.. so when cole left at around 4 plus to work, we rested and gab decided that we should start on proper training la.. he figured out that our defence was koyak and really needed to work on that.. as well our counter attack wasn't quick and steady enough.. we also violated too much footwork during the previous matches which cost us much lost opportunites to score.. we won the previous 2 matches by 1-0 and 2-1.. which was like sheer luck la.. haha.. so we started on some passes, which gab later taught us (me, sze and thea.. it's always only us) how to really mark your opponent properly.. like positioning yourself perpendicularly to the opponent and the one with the ball so that you can see both sides at a time.. and if you're the one being marked, how to make use of your physical body to lean against the marker and call for ball.. stuff like that.. i didn't knew there sooo much tactics into such ball stuff.. hmm.. after that we practised counter attacking but my footwork always fail me.. i tend to travel with the ball.. and we were quite distracted by magnum's force's cheers la.. until gab motioned us to concentrate when he suddenly blurted "eh that girl's skirt dropped!".. *_* we were like rolling our eyes la.

we trained till 9.30pm and i finally reached home at around 10.30pm.. which i fell asleep immediately.. haha.. woke up and bought breakfast for my teammates the next day, as we decided to meet early and have some last minute training or passes before our matches start.. practising to shoot some loopballs really high so that defenders can't touch it la.. then it was time to register and start our game.. although we won the game against 1T03 by 1-0.. we were feeling crap coz it wasn't as good as we expected.. worse came when we played against Zees as they were quite strong and we lost 4-0 la.. as we were playing right, 1T03 was cheering for Zees.. which i thought that they were quite a bunch of sore losers.. the 'cool' part was when Zees played against 1T03, in the middle of the game both parties started quarrelling and calling each other bitches.. i was sniggering.. who were the ones cheering each other on earlier man! LOL.. throw face sia.. although we got only 4 points but we still managed to enter the game to fight for bronze.. and lost.

although we scraped a 4th place, we were happy about it because we've worked hard, bonded and from negative ball sense to SOME ball sense.. although we've so much wanted the top 3 positions (and the fila stuff :P) and we didn't get it, we stood united and that feeling was simply great. i love that. i'm sure all of us felt that satisfied..

that's not the end.. when everybody else has gone home for lunch or wad.. we actually stayed back.. for wad? just to cheer and relax.. played with water.. splashed each other.. haha.. and we really did cheer and screamed our lungs out la.. did stupid stuff like friendship dance and pepsi-cola-123.. haha! bonding is great. and how can i forget about the telematch on the field? only us.. haha!! piggybacking each other and doing somersaults.. we WON!!!!! gab.. your somersault is lousy! haha!!! :P

then we were deciding where to celebrate.. marina curry? steamboat? or bbq.. were settling on bbq when the weather suddenly turned dark.. so we decided on steamboat where all the food is prepared and we can start eating immediately.. so took cab from school and proceeded there, bargained with the uncle about prices and started eating.. when anthea dirtied my shirt and stuff.. to be actual, i seriously thought she dirtied every other one's shirt sitting near our area.. lol.. went over to kian's side (he was at another steamboat restaurant, different from ours) as he asked me to taste his soup. it was like shit la. haha and i helped in counting saga seeds which they later tried to boil it and see if it can be eaten.. while checking.. they lost the seed in the soup so the whole pot was inedible.. LOL.. i laughed like hell.. we went arcade later and i won kian in daytona!!! he was like boasting to me that he's gonna thrash me.. hmm.. actions speak louder than words. LOL..

went to esplanade after that.. and we (kian, his fren, teck soon i think and me) counted saga seeds AGAIN. count count count when we go frustrated and decided to just grab a handful and go home. hahahaha, lame ass they are.. but i pestered them to go home la, so that i have someone to wait for cab with me.. and kian and teck soon insisted on sending me home so yeah!! i don't have to go home alone! =) reached home at around 12 plus near 1am.. flopped onto my bed right after bathing.. i din even bother to wait for my hair to dry.. haha..

went to school today to do my cip e learning, but only managed to finish a namecard.. one more flyer to go.. so i think i better stop blogging.. it's a long post over here so thanks for reading yeah?

*at this moment, after the competition has been over for more than 24 hours, gab is still telling me how proud he is feeling of us.. "how often can you find girls who train captain's from 12pm to 9.30pm???" hmm, i guess we girls were really great! haha!!!*

i'm having problems walking, with my calf muscles aching due to excessive training, but these pain remind me of the hard work we've put in and it's worth it.. if it's gonna take me a year to take part in captain's again with the same team, i gladly would..

i love my team and i think this wouldn't be the last time we're gonna play together again. in fact, we're going to play badminton this coming fri after lms.. =)
