Taste of Victory
Today's wednesday, wednesdays are really really bad days, till today. Wednesdays are really really long and draggy, the recess is really early but the 2nd half of the lessons last forever, and especially when you know you're gonna play another big game you can't wait for the lessons to zooooom by..
Yes, today, the long awaited e1/e2 vs e4 match... the first thing that occured to dampen the mood was the rain, the heavy rain and the thunder, every drop were like pinpricks to our hearts, we were pretty disappointed at first, but latif kept saying we were gonna play, even in the rain, so we waited, and waited. The rain did stop, during our last period, and we ran over for a look, the field was still usable, so everything was still on.
Yeah, so after school, i went to help out at the pool corner before we all got down to get changed. When we headed there, once again, lots of disappointement cause again the field was used up, and we weren't sure if we could even play, because up till now, the booking system hasn't been settled, so they were saying, how many more halves, how many more minutes, but i maintained that we had to play today if not there wouldn't be another day for us to play..
So we just played a little at the court and i tried not to run as much, then not long later, they said we were up next, so we got ready, got dressed, when everything was ready, ahhh, the sacred captain's armband was handed to me, uhhhh, sooo cool. So we got ready, and headed to the field, the field was good, a little damp, but still good for playing. Then they dragged for a little while, then after i led the warm up, we got ready to start, and then it was scissors paper stone to see who would start first, being an expert, let me share with you my secret, most people put scissors, so always put stone, and i put stone and won the ball.
So we started in a moment, darren passed to me, i passed back to the defense, peera ran all the way up, passed to darren, got entangled with the defenders, and i shouted for his pass, he managed a short pass, i burst out, and got past my marker, and shot, the shot got past the keeper and wooohoooo, goallllllllllllll. Haha, at first, i was like checking, can it be offside? haha, i didn't want my flames of happiness to be doused.... And i ran all the way from midfield so it was impossible to be offside, so i was like, yay! haha, i finally scored. The clock ran for less than half a min and we scored!! yay! Finally a striker can do what we does best, that is to score, its my first big goal, not counting all the others in normal matches, but i've never scored in an interclass before...yes, even in my primary school interclass games. Yeah, so everyone was really happy and putting a huge smile on their faces cause it seemed that their defence was like water, easily penetratable..
Then they started, and the match was pretty fast paced, the e4ers were ALL big sized, while we, on the other hand, were really small and short, the soccer players like alif, and shi xiong, and the chinese guys, all so big and powerful, but we held on, but i was very unhappy with the defence, they weren't doing their job well, particularly yun hui, he didn't do much, and we daren't tackle, so i shouted to him to just slide if he had to, but before long, they scored a goal. Then i started scolding the defence, cause, captain ma, i have authority and i really had to do some scolding if not i'd be just as good as useless..
Then darren just wouldn't stay at his position, haiya, i had to keep telling him to get back in position, they were once again wreaking havoc in our defence, particularly those few, always trying to take long shots, but they were unsuccessful, team play is much better, they asked for balls, so that they can have a shot themselves, most of their shots went wide, none coming close to scoring, but jj did make one spectacular save from their shots. Alas, our defence couldn't hold much longer, it wasn't long before they took the lead, at 2-1. By then i was really shouting at everyone, i had yet another goal scoring opportunity, but parry stepped on my foot while i was right in front of the goal, i fell, and called for foul, but the ref was TOTALLY BLIND.
Then there was another play, and latif shot, blocked, then yun hui ran up to make yet another shot, and this time, it looked destined for the net but one of them jumped up to catch the ball, so we protested, and thankfully we were given the penalty. So me and peera were deciding on who to take the penalty, i wanted to, but i was afraid i'd make the team lose, so i let peera take it...no mistakes made, goal. Equaliser. By then, the VB girls were out and cheering for us, ah hah, additional boost, time enough for one more last play, i stole the ball and sprinted all the way up up up, and when i neared the goal, saw darren open, made a really really good pass, so so so so near the goal but he MISSEDDDDDDDDDDD Noooooooooooo. The whistle blew after that, so disappointed, could have made that a goal.
By then, i was a little dead already, it was drizzling a little and i had a little headache. Shi xiong told the ref not to waste time and to start the match immediately, i didn't want that, i hadn't rested enough. I felt like getting subbed cause of the headache but we continued. And when they started, not long later, we got the ball, i dribbled like crazy, burst out, ran and ran neared the goal, hit, the ball got past the keeper and continued rolling home, but the keeper ran up and caught it again!!! ahh!! Then the ball was on the ground, many people were there, then out of the corner of my eye, i saw a small figure running up towards the goal, like a knight in SHINING armour, he ran, and he just collided against them and hit the BALL IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... By then, me and murali, i wanted to hug him, he was laughing, i was laughing, close to tears, so happy, so exhilarated, so ecstatic, emotions taking control, i was chasing murali, haha, laughing about, and just at that moment, just as if God could finally let the weather continue after relieved that we got the lead, an earth splitting thunder struck and the ref blew for the end of the match, and we were already celebrating, hahaha, we ran out laughing and jumping, we did it, the NERDS HAVE CONQUERED!! YES YES YES!!! ahaha, and murali hugged me, and i hi-tened everyone and the girls were all screaming, yes, yes jubilation took hold of all of us by storm, we did it, i did it, first match i captained, and i've ''led'' the team to first every victory, glory at last. The rain poured, when we got back to the canteen, all of our players walked past me and patted me, ''Captain! We did it!'' WAhhh weee, we've done it at last. Most of us didn't have the mood to go home, haiya, Rain at last after years of drought, would you just take it as nothing? Or celebrate all night, although we didn't celebrate all night, but yeah, we were glad, very glad. Everyone was happy.
I got changed and since it was raining really heavily, i decided not to make a move yet, although it was very dark already, 6 plus, i headed up and saw they guys still playing pool, so i just joined in more fun and more happiness. Then at around 7, i got home.
When i got home, my maid told me someone called for me, and i wondered who, people rarely look for me using the home tel, so that night i expected mystery caller to call again, and he did, it turned out to be my cat high friend, he asked me if i were going back tomorrow, i told him i had other plans, and he asked for my email, i was kinda surprised he called, i totally lost everyone's contact after pri 6, this was the first time we've spoken for 3 years. Besides, i didn't wanna go back, i don't want to be reminded of the sad past in catholic high, haiya, a school of no girls, one day they will realise how stupid they are, abolish the rule! Any institute without girls will crumble, haha, Men? You will call upon men? Men...i've seen them, i'd rather not speck about them. Okok, back to my friend, his voice sounded so broken, luckily i still have a little girliness, i think? When you have girl voices guys, appreciate and make use of it, don't ever think about wanting to break your voices, because when you guys DO break your voices, there isn't any turning back, its just that same stereotyped metal voice, clang clang, nothing special, when you speak like a girl at this age, you're a gem. At least my voice isn't abit like metal. So i was wondering what'd happen if i meet the guys again, haiya, so much have changed since i left, so much have changed.
Maybe the first thing they say when they see me is ''wah! so fair ha?'' haha, then they'd ask if i am still as interested in soccer as i did, then i'll probably say no, i'd say i've shifted to pool, then they'll think i've had bad influence or something, then they'll surely ask if i have a girlfriend, cause apparently, some of the pri sch guys i met HAVE girlfriends! Then i was totally shocked they could settle and fit in so fast, haha, i mean, i've been psychologically traumatised i don't even dare to speak to a girl now, and it isn't even the right time to have one, but i bet half of them will have girlfriends by now, and when they hear i don't they'd probably say, ''wah, so kuai ah?''
Blood was shed, bodies broken, but we rode back in victory. Enjoy the Hols!
