Ouch...

Now my leg's very painful...most probably because I didn't do my warm up exercises before today's football match. Eventually I had a muscle cramp when I was playing for my team. Ok about the football match...it's actually a match between a group of boys from Sam Tet School (my team) and another group of students from ELS...an english learning centre here in Ipoh (and yea....their team has a couple of foreigners...most notably their playmaker...who is from err...Syria? Libya? Can't remember exactly....). At 1st I was really reluctant to be featured in the match due to my busy schedule and the time of the match is being played (can you believe it? It's at 3 pm....it's so hot here in Malaysia...I wouldn't mind playing if it's winter...but it's not...it's hot...I don't want to end up being roasted alive on the field!!!). But then I agreed to play after some persuasive efforts from my friend..so to say. For so long I haven't been playing a 90 minute match...and I know my stamina is not as good as before.. I played anyway...and I "discovered" some "long lost" skills in me...that I've failed to show for quite some time.. I didn't know what time the match started actually...I was just wanting the match to finish. Maybe 40% of anticipation is involved...since I wanted to prove that I can still play well. It's not a bad game after all...Hehe. I scored the only goal in the 1st half...to make it 1-0. Well can't remember clearly..but what I know is that I'm unmarked...and I shot from outside the penalty area (as usual). After a few similiar attempts I scored.. **Proud** The next is...er....I've got no idea. Probably both teams tried to attack but nothing happened...and there it went...Half-time. Haha. And another thing is that I didn't run for the ball much during the entire match (probably less than 10 times...)...so pardon me my teammates out there...haha. 2nd half. I was lazing around the midfield waiting for chances to come. Haha. Well I got 1...and attacked..well the attack ended up with L'ric scoring a goal. Amazing. An assist. Rare thingy. Coz people used to complain that I depend too much on my solo perfomance. Yea. That will shut the mouths of the critics. Missed out on some opportunities. But it's okay. Later I blasted a shot with my left foot (I'm not a leftie..hehe)...and the ball deflected off the foot of 1 player...and all the players on the field saw gravity at work. Haha. Ball flew up high and came back down straight into the net. Another goal from outside the penalty area. Beautifully crafted? Erm...I don't know. It was just another attempt that went well.. Straight after that goal, I can feel the muscle cramp on my left leg pulling me down. I played for another 1 or 2 minutes...and was substituted. At 1 point it's so painful that I had tears in my eyes...wow...I need to yell for help from my players, coz everyone else is on the field, so no one knows what I'm facing. Obviously they didn't hear my cry...until finally L'ric heard my "cry" and he came to my aid. Well...just as he left the pitch...our opponents actually scored a goal. Well, nevermind. 3-1. Both teams scored a goal each after that..making the score 4-2. In the end, we won. Impressive. Proves that we can still play...haha...after such along break. And then er...blaa blaa blaa...Samuel this...L'ric that...Oh this...Chai that...blaa blaa blaa...And I rushed home...coz there's a worship practice at 5.30...reached home 5.20...had a shower and then rushed to church...Yup, Addie drove...During the practice, at some moments I was really "blur"...and in a state of confusion. But it ended well i guess. Later Addie and I went off to drop something at Aunty Lindy's place...then we got Sara on the car and had a drink (not alcohol...) together. Another tiring day. Guess the days and the weeks pass in quite a fast pace sometimes without us really noticing. Nevertheless, we should always learn to treasure life and time...coz both comes together. That's all I have to say now...Well, have a nice day!
