Victory
Defeat. Defeat lay at before our feet. The long awaited match, the highly anticipated showdown, all a failure, all nothing, all down the drain.
Today i arrived in school with my shoebag in hand, feeling confident. We were nervous yeah, butterflies flying around our stomaches. But prepared. Throughout the day, we couldn't concentrate, thinking, flowing away, we were worried, afraid, the pretty normal stuff when you know you're gonna participate in some thing. But yeah, throughout geog i was dreaming about soccer. Yeah, then during lunch, i was ok until latif started worrying again then i started too and so i couldn't finish my lunch. The feeling really is disgusting. The same feeling when we participated in the Wiraka National Snooker Championships, and the same feeling i will get on the 21st of Sept when i sit for my piano exams.
So ok, finally the last minute of ms jamie's lesson went by, and latif was telling me how his hand was shivering, and i told him we've played in the futsal tournament and he has in various others, but yeah, actually, i was also quite afraid. Then after school i got really jumpy. And i didn't eat much, except the strawberry pocky. I then went up to look at the guys play pool for a while just to take my mind of soccer. Haiya, its just an ordinary match! But it blew up cause latif thinks the NCC Landers underestimate us and he really wanted to show them the prowess of the nerds. And latif was saying during recess, "We're not nerds!" Then i stopped him and told him that actually we are nerds, haha. Anyway, i only managed to win a match against yuan hong before latif and shi xiong came running all over, telling me to get dressed and all. And yeah, pretty soon later, we all gathered at the field. Anyway, shi xiong is playing for us cause we were short of people. Then before long, we gathered there, all geared up, and might i add latif looked so hot with his full attire and his captain's armband, and i guess i might be wearing that armband next week, but anyway he looked really hot, i almost fell for him. So we got in and were disappointed.
To start off, the sec 4s took over the field immediately after the sec 4 girls got off, then the Isham guy, the in charge went to talk to them, then he came over to tell us that we had to get off for them. Then of course the guys protested, but he said they were playing the last game before their prelims and they were graduating soon, and by then, we were really pissed. All the nervousness and readiness for nothing. Then of course, the debate went on for really long, until i came up with an idea to let us play for 30mins, rest, let them play 30 and let us again, uh huh, so then we tried to compromise but they rejected, then they told the sec 4s to clear the field, then they looked so sad that it made us feel guilty, until one of them asked isham whether doing this was right. Let's ponder about this, were they really right? They didn't know about the booking system, and claimed they prepared for a long time. And we rightfully booked the court. Having their prelims on friday, they should be at home studying, we finished our CAs. But anyway, they should've played a long time before, not at the eve of the exams. They were merely trying to gain our sympathy, but i respected them for giving in.
So the match started quickly, they were good, but i felt that we were better, but just when we were really starting to get heated up, a ball rolled in, and some of the sec4s including that fat guy came in and started playing. The game stopped. Then the NCC Land ex-beattyan confronted that fat guy when he was strolling in to pick his ball, then the fat guy started pushing him several times, demanding why he pushed him and scolding expletives. I can't really say how disgusted i was at the fat guy, really, he was just, i guess i can't really find the words to describe my disgust, just utter utter total total disgust. Such a lowlife, such a darn gangster, trying to pick out a fight, trying to ''right'' what's ''wrong'' using his ''justifying right and wrong'' brain, picking on someone smaller sized than him. Then he started insulting his mom and the NCC guy just looked at him, no words can describe how much i respected him at that time, had he not restrained himself, had he not thought of what consequences his actions might bring, he would have given that fat guy a punch, and i applaud his actions, he's a hero, i love him, he did right, nothing could have been better than what he did. Although he was my opponent, although i would have done the same, haha, 1 cause obviously because he's like 10 times my size, 2 cause i'm a nice guy, hahaha. But anyway, yeah, he insulted him and he held on, he's a hero. Then they got out and the game continued. But before long mrs hao came in and stopped the game, demanding to know what happened. I really lost my respect for the 4e seniors, they gained my respect when they walked out, but doing such a thing, trying to disrupt our game was really a lot, i thought they were a respectable bunch, reasonable, nice guys, but what they did, haiya. Then mrs hao demanded the truth, and the fat guy still continued to scold his expletives, and yeah, nothing much, but we kinda settled it.
So anyway, the game continued, i was pretty much doing nothing during the game, being the lone striker, the affairs of the lower field had nothing to do with me, i could only wait for the balls to arrive, and sadly, none did. Latif did well, he got the ball, he ran up, still ran, got pass the defenders, and when i was shouting for his ball, he scored, smart thing to do, good goal, good job. Then after that the match kinda got intense. But i have to say our defense was really good, with murali and imran and latif in midfield, they're already hard to get pass, but yun hui, bryan and edward really did a good job, good clearances, good management. But yeah, whenever we got a ball in the upper half of the field, no one could pass to me, hassan dribbled and did some skilful showing down the left flank, but more dribbling meant more wearing out, before long, he didn't even have the energy to pass. So i was just simply running around, shouting for balls, and i was pretty bored. Yeah, until once, when shi xiong did a pass, i was stupid to run in front of the defender marking me, the ball got pass me, i scored, but it was offside. I wasn't really used to this offside thing, i never played offside before, but i could have made it a goal if i thought.
Anyway, Nanda scored 2 goals and yeah, i was still limping around doing nothing, i couldn't help much, no passes, no partner, sometimes i wondered what i was doing there, haha, i made 0 contributions. Till the whistle blew, it was all over, our hopes were dashed, our dreams were gone, nothing, failure. But i thought we played really well, we weren't steamrollered, we did well. And i would like to thank the girls for their unfailing support, although i played like crap robelle maintained i played well, haha, i dunno who she mistook for to be me. Yeah and anyway, imran was really mad at latif for not playing his postion, and latif was really sad again, haiya, then he started tearing again, and monitress had to comfort him, but i thought we played really well, although we could have won, we were underestimated being a bunch of nerds, but we really could have won, and imran felt we didn't maximise our potential, which was quite true. Haiya, all i can hope for is a better showing next wed when we face 3e4, i'm not sure if i can get the captain's armband but really, latif looked hot today, hahaha...
We've not been defeated.
