A Matter of Perception
Nice....lazy to explain myself, don't have to, won't need to...(p.s. they think i'm malaysia soccer captain, totally not my fault)
Pb 1 vs. Pb 2 Results
Dun feel like elaborating much on the highlights of the so-called SLB "tournament". Every half-time I am the one being subbed out, so the both M'sia scholars tink they r so tzai. I've nvr seen them sub themselves out b4. Even Pb1's Jia Hao subbed himself out to give others a chance. This is wad I call a good captain to take care and command ur team. Sadly, our captain lacked all this qualities. Our captain missed a penalty, screwing up some far-range shots, and shooting waywards for a few times. We are always blazing our shots high and over the crossbar when we are in the penalty area already. Result: 0-3 to Pb 1. I've only got 11 words to sum it all up. "Pb2 (Us) deserved to lose as CSY was not playing as striker." =)
Sidekicks.
Pb 2 v Pb 1.
That's the fixture of the inter-board soccer semi-finals.
Ah, some of you may have known that I had a lack of playing time.
Yea of course I am utterly unhappy (who like to watch on the bench)
I have no grudges against our captain but I'd like to blast out some of my thoughts.
(just like Roy Keane.. lol)
Firstly, captain of Malaysia football team doesn't mean he damn tua.
Wth, I am puzzled by his substitutions la.
While we were playing against CMC 2 days ago,
I started out as striker. When CMC scored a goal, he immediately subbed me out for
no apparent reason. (????)
It's like I am not even at fault for the goal, and it was the keeper's fault.
And it's not like they keep on supplying me with passes and I scuffed all my shots.
Julian George always like to link up with Wei Chen (fellow Malaysian ma)
then I also can't do anything about it.
When we conceded, I was subbed out. I would be fine with it if Julian George's substitution proved that it was correct.
In the end, we shortly conceded a second goal partly due to the person(who subbed me)'s fault.
Kudos! (JG, are you leaving the field @ half-time cross-eyed?)
Second half, due to CMC's mistake by subbing out Yong Yuan (the 3-6 Wushu guy.. who plays 99% like Thai Yong), CMC didn't have the cutting edge in front of goal.
We equalised 2-2, due to some poor defending by CMC.
Maybe Julian George prefer people with tough physical presence on the field.
Or people with better aerial ability.
Maybe I could not provide both options up front but I am sure I am worth the first team place.
I am not even getting enough chance to prove myself.
I'd rather be in the Crystal Palace first team than being in Man U reserves.
Good Friday....in a way
I wanna share my experience of Good Friday. A mixture of joy, and at the end…du lan. No lessons on Good Friday…damn happy, so we decided to make it a horror movie marathon at Charlton’s place. The day before rented a few movies, with us finally choosing the 1973 Exorcist and a few other cds.
At Charlton’s, it was like heaven. Food was abundant, and damn, the entertainment was good. Oh, it rained by the way. It rains every Good Friday, or so I think. Charlton’s mum was a very very very gracious host, and I can’t stress that enough. Let me see…was it 4 pizzas? Or 5? Anyway we ate it all…absolutely devoured the whole thing. While eating, we watched the exorcist. It wasn’t a scary movie, and I didn’t know what the fuss was all about. According to them the whole cast of the movie died, but we later found that to be untrue. Only 2 of them died.
Ok, so the movie. It was slow, not scary, but creepy. Jit Hin as usual was watching the whole movie with his hands in front of his eyes. I couldn’t help but scare him after a few scenes. He would get his revenge. More of that later…. Anyway the creepiest scene was the part where the little girl who was possessed by the demon spider-walked (means walking with all fours on the ground, facing upwards) down the stairs. The other creepy scene was when she turned her head 180 degree to talk to the priest.
Bei Er didn’t seem to be scared at all, while Perret seemed more concerned with the messages he received. Nathan, Bei Er and Perret left just after we finished the exorcist, which was the same time Manfred reached.
By now we didn’t know what to do, so we watched Silent Hill. It’s an ok movie la, and Jit Hin did manage to get his revenge. Watching the small girl in the film turn around, he suddenly screamed into my faced ‘oh my god!!!’. My instant reaction was WTF, so I screamed…yeah, quite loud.
We didn’t finish watching the whole thing, so we went to the attic to play F.E.A.R (a stupid game with a girl ghost in it) and just hang about. Charlton and Jit Hin were damn afraid of walking up the steps alone, and Jit Hin even screamed when I…well I just boo-ed him. They were even afraid of going to the toilet together la….ok la maybe I was too, but that was because I was freaked out…by them.
We then played a few games of winning eleven, had dinner (satay, roti john, pizza again and soup) and watched Simpsons. Before we knew it, it was 11 pm already. 12 hours at Charlton’s place leh…and I was late for my curfew. Me, Manfred and Jit Hin went back together. Manfred started talking about how cracking our necks will lead to us breaking it, don’t know if it’s true. Jit Hin wasn’t pleased about it.
Jit Hin: walao, can don’t talk about neck or not? Now make me think of the movie again
Manfred: its just the neck la, and it’s a fact
Me: its not even scary la…neck turn oni ma……
So this was our conversation during our journey, till Jit Hin managed to convince us to change it into something more pleasant, like school. After leaving Manfred at the bus stop, it was just me and Jit Hin. Luckily the MRT service wasn’t over, and I had Jit Hin to thank for catching probably the last train at that time. I got back to the hostel around 1 am, curfew supposed to be 11 pm. So I walked towards the hostel till I saw the guard. I immediately crept under the blocks placed on the roads for construction purposes and dialed Perret to save me. So down he came, but then I thought the guard had left. I climbed over the gates, sneaked in and walked.
Voice: hey you, wait!
Ok, not good. Guard noticed, guard chasing. So I ran to the lift, it opened, it closed. Whew, safe…..or so I thought. The door of the lift opened and the stoner guard was there.
Guard: you Julian George right?
Me: ah
Guard: you sneaked out and in just now
Me: yeah
Guard: why?
Me: I was hungry, so I went out to buy food
Guard: I’m going to have to tell the boarding master what you did
Me: har? But I just bought food oni wor…
Guard: so? You still sneaked out? You students ar….buy food so late at night
Me: can don’t tell or not?
Guard: no, you go back to your room
Me: har? ok….
It wasn’t good to lie la, but then if I didn’t I would have been in deeper shit. Anyway no confinement, just that I missed the Man U-Liverpool game the next night. Damn it…..luckily Man U won, 3-0. Haha….screw you
