Hie hie hie hie hi Hey hello yo!! Its yet another post from me! Whee! For those who tian tian(everyday) come to check for updates, your hard work finally paid off! Here I am, a BLOG ENTRY! Its very late now, hope its a short one.
Well obviously I'm here to talk bout Nottingham Games 2007 which happened last weekend. Well it was a very very good event to meet people, Malaysian people from all over UK. Gives you the feeling like you are in Malaysia leh. There were lots of event such as futsal, basketball, badminton, netball, hockey(got ah?), volleyball, dll(dan lain-lain). As you can see at the picture above, I played futsal for Bath Malaysian Society and those blue people, or rather people in blue(expect keeper) are my team-mates. Really good footballers they are. Really.
For those curious people back in Malaysia, in Nottingham town, there is a real BIG spacious compound called POWER LEAGUE. And you've guess right, its outdoor futsal court. They have SIXTEEN outdoor futsal court. 16. And you thought sports planet/rio was big? =)
Anyways, there were 60 teams and each split evenly to 12 groups, and ridiculously, only the top teams in each groups qualify to the next phase. Oh and the BEST 4 runner-up, they will see your goal difference and choose la. And i think we manage 3rd in the group. Oh and the rules here is NO ONE can enter the BOX except the keeper, not even defenders or your anyone from your own team.
Although how humiliating it was, I think I have to take some responsibility for our failure to qualify, or giving us the chance to MAYBE qualify. Not like I'm the star player or important player or what la ok. Ok, we won 1, drew 1 and lost 2 games. The 1st game we lost to last year's finalist so well nothing much to complain about. Then we won the 2nd game. I didn't play for the first two games but I started the 3rd game as a defender. But knowing me I like to go upfront to be involved la ok, lol. Surprisingly, I got 2 chances in front of goal, 1 was quite open 1 in front of keeper. Miss those, unsurprisingly...Swt. Apart from that I went back and defended well and 0-0 half time. Then after half time, I decided to stay back more.
THEN.
THEN,
THEN.
During 1 unlucky and unmindful and noob moment, when someone took a shot, I went into the box and clear the ball till fly out dunno where. Just when i thought:" Wah settle la clear so far away..geng leh.." Referee blow whistle and I saw everyone's face DULAN KNN WTF?
"........"
I wasn't suppose to even enter the box.
Penalty.
" Jiat, wtf were you thinking?"
BOOM. GOAL.
1-0 nil down.
The sorhem who gave away the penalty got sub out.
Final score: 1-0.
ZZZZZZzzzz.
Lol. Ya don't laugh. And when I went to ask the organiser, they said it should only be an indirect free kick.
=.=
Then last game. I played 2nd half as striker, 1 moment. In front of goal nobody can touch me and CONFIRM GOAL if I took it 1st time. But I took 2 touches too many.
Final score: 0-0.
HAHA. What an experience. To be honest we should have qualified if wasn't those unlucky circumstances and if we have played together long enough. But the rest of them team was absolutely brilliant! *Claps* We will be ready for next year! Not to win the trophy but as least qualify from the group stage and go further!
Then went to watch badminton and basketball. Badminton was really good I must say, the men's singles was very nice to see. Seems like Malaysian badminton have a very bright future. The winner was a state player for Pahang studying in Birmingham. The boy is really good, as his opponent too. But don't know where the fella from though. They had super net play and good footwork. If i can be half like them good liao. Haha. And basketball. Imperial college. Omfg. Trashing everyone. Well I think coz most of them are experienced basketballers in Malaysia, none the less it was very fun to see Malaysian people playing basketball and competing in an indoor court. Then we went to the Malaysian food galore in some hall on the Nott campus. To my delight, got NASI LEMAK SATAY NASI BERIANI CENDOL ROTI CANAI etccc.. WOOOO. Of coz i try all la. It was really good. Of coures its made my our very own Malaysian or asian people. Met some of PE6-ians as well and some very old friends! Overall a trully memorable event this one. Was knackered at the end of the day coz only had 2 hours of sleep on the way to Notts.
So, this is the last week of the semester. Week 11 of semester. Yeah I have been in Bath for almost 3 months now. Which means I'm going back to NASI LEMAK LAND this Sunday night and arriving on Monday(17th Dec) evening! I have been quite busy this weekend. been going to library to finish report and try to finish all the maths and circuit theory tutorial so that can ask lecturer or post-grad to clear any doubts. The mathematics its really getting tough to handle I must tell you. Its beginning to look not even like in A-Levels, its much tougher than that. Even with the solution sheets its so farking hard to answer those integration and vector questions. Haih. Must keep trying la. So much do all the work and ask by this week.
Ok super late adi. Been sleeping very late last week and week before, bad for health. Take care and there will be 1 more last post before I zoom out of Bath place back to Subang SS19 for some much-anticipated vacation. Eagerly anticipated. Nightz!
p.s. Oh and I'm going to watch my first ever English Premier League match LIVE in the stadium this Saturday in London. Tell you which game is it. Till the next post. =)
