Lost for Words...

When the Media Team "hit" the pitch, a shirt was found lying by the side. Looking up, we saw that Johnni has decided to bare it all. I reaslied that he was wearing the Chelsea shorts Alvin bought from Beijing. I was even more puzzled. Why the shorts, but not the shirt? After the game, he told me that the shirt couldn't absorb sweat! He had no choice, but to take it off.

Rested for about two days after the BIG KO on Sunday, Raphael returns to the fray. Join by Chin, Wenchong and U.N.C.L.E. Both U.N.C.L.E. and Chin were carrying injuries. So, U.N.C.L.E.! Your backside still pain? Hahaha! Meanwhile, Wenchong made his presence felt all over The Cage, making his opponent confused with his fancy footwork.

Jeff Mak made his debut at The Cage, while Chris and Daniel mark their returns. They all took turns at goal. There were some quite amusing combinations in between the sticks. First, there was Daniel who was tall and lanky at one end, and Chris - big and stocky - at the other. Then came the short stinct when U.N.C.L.E kept goal, Johnni was at the other end. Lo and Behold! The two naked men at each end.

When Daniel took his place at goal, Junior went ino The Cage and requested for a pose from Daniel. Ignoring the risk of letting in goals, he came out with this. As "older" took longer to recover from fatigue, U.N.C.L.E. and Chin lost control of their strength and collided. U.N.C.L.E. said he "GONG!" (A bit concuss)

With reserves all on “international” duties, our boys carried on with their game in The Cage. So, it was a way to spur those who were away. They will have to play catch up when they come back. Just like Chris and Daniel.

As the minutes ticked by, Johnni came by for a time-check. It appeared that the clock in Pitch 2 was actually slower by an hour. The next person to ask for time was Daniel. Surprise?? Raphael was next in line to verify. Shock? But he has tricks up his sleeve. With ten minutes remaining, and the rest of the boys have their energy spent, Raphael went into mazy runs and converted two chances in a row. One was a solo effort, while the other was a precise cross from Daniel.

Then out came a whistle from Junior’s bag. Let the game end please they begged. Acting exactly like a referee, Junior ended their agony. Upon hearing the final whistle, Chris wanted to exchange shirts, but none of them wanted his. Once outside, they took off their shirts one by one. Seizing the rare opportunity, Junior took a shot of the “reflector’s”. See if you know his identity!

Showdown Delivery Service

Had to deliver episode 10 of Showdown for Alvin, so Showdown Delivery Service made a trip to Grande Vista during the boys' almost weekly game there. Turned out to be the opening ceremony of my new toy. "Ronaldino" was there to play. But he was wearing the wrong jersey. For the record, he said he hasn't put on "the BIGGER" one when we were talking about his hairband. At one point, when he was standing behind the goalpost, there was lacking a player in the arena. "Ronaldino" was saying, "I here, I here!" When it's time to KO, Rongming and "Ronaldino" of them chose to pose before starting, making all the players wait for them. Peter commented that I finally brought a camera down. Well, it's opening ceremony for my new toy. He had wanted a pictures on this blog for a long time, and I believe he wasn't the only one. But something has gotta give, so with pictures come lesser words. Afterall, a picture speaks a thousands wo

Bidding Farewell...

… to 2007, so I thought why not have a game at JBS when Cynthia suggested that Ross played with the Stunners for the last time this year, against the Media I contacted Ben and the stage was set for 28 Nov. But it wasn’t as smooth as it turned out to be. Ben, the team manger for the FAS Stunners called and asked if the match can be postpone to January as they could not get enough people. With the Boys all revved up and ready to go, Ben promised he will try and gather his troops. Raphael and I came out with a list of 20 people from the start. The list quickly became 16 and on the day itself, we only had 14 and only 12 turned up. At about 2pm in the afternoon, Mark sms me saying that match will be cancel as the weather is not looking good. Even Ross called me and said heaven is not on our side. I remained positive and said the rain, has got 2hr and 30min to rain and then it will stop and we can KO. Later, I received an sms from Alvin saying that my assistant manager asked him to be coach

The most colourful colour commentator

After a LONG drive to Deptford field, we arrived to see players donning red tops already doing their warm-ups on the pitch. What caught me unaware was that I was to become blood donors to the food depleted mosquitoes there. The heavy downpour prior to KO did nothing to dampen Peter’s mood. He even brought along the “chest” of tops we bought in Korat. Those who turned up without red tops were handed one each, and our regulars took theirs at long last. Half of the Reds were unfamiliar faces to me, I began to wonder how am I going to blog about this game. So after the team has decided on their tactics, I interrogated Kelvin Tham on the players. I only managed to register Vincent. Though KO was stated at 7pm, the game finally started at 7.35pm. Kelvin commented that we might lose this game as Rongming had a bandaged knee, and our goalie’s goal-kick buay zhai. Before play had settled down, Chris made a clearance that looked ugly but effective. Not long after, Shawn (I think) sent the Reds o
