today's match was C'div vs Sec 3s. was really hoping to play better cuz they are sec 2s. in fact i did some preperations for it.
at the start, all the sec 3s were in, cept for nigel and me. and later on nigel got subbed in first, and i was alone. z.
den i subbed in for sungming as flank. shit, my position is once again "anything" one day i will go in as prop =/
but quite satisfied wif my performance, made a few tackles, wouldnt say they were good but they were made in crucial moments. guess cuz i was under pressure.
den there was this kick-off, and it was clearly mine. dunno wad got into me, i was thinking of jumping and catching it. but i ended up doing a "chester" (not header). and it bounced off like nobody's buisness and isaac caught it. knock on.
half time. my friggin target was not met yet.
during half time bryan announced the starting team for the second half. my expected second row was maskil and shaochun and i was already planning to sub maskil in the middle of second half. i exptected sungming and jason to be the flankers even more, but bryan called sungming and me to be flank. so jason became full back =/
half time over, and we got in. nothing significant happened, and jason subbed me as flank. sian, i wasnt sure if i can play anymore, cuz its like getting subbed out in the middle of second half. so while out, mr romi asked me to pass my jersey to this sec 1 to sub ppl. sian. the hope got even slimmer. after another while, i asked romi how long more till the end of the match, i swear i heard him say one minute. but ironically he got another sec 1 to sub in. den biquan was like asking me to go in, say he pass me his jersey, but before i could say anything he took it off liao. so i was like quite dun wanna make him look like some topless dumbass, and i took it and changed into it, and went in for maskil. i was feeling really hopeful again. i went with every forward that was bringing the ball up, like jon, and asking him to pass but he couldnt. den faizal said"last play"
这时，我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁，同时我也感到有点儿desperate.
this last play was my only only only only hope left, i was thinking about freaking alot of shit, like if i dun do this i would not have another oppotunity anymore. we were receiving the kickoff from the sec 2s. i was imagining fauzan kicking the ball in this direction, and he really did. sungming was in front of me, and he called for it. but it bounced off him and he landed in my arms. i turned the surroundings into a complete silence(actually i heard someone say "woow, meng siew ah!") and i looked for a gap. i chiong past it and ran like there was a bugatti veyron at full speed chionging at me from the back. got past the whole line of defence. and it was their full back aravin left. got past him, but he was chasing me as if there was a thrust SSC chionging at him from the back. i just looked at the try line, and every single step was one step closer to reaching my target.
what happened?
To find out, do catch the next episode of "Yeah.. its my life.. in my own words i guess"
