Happy New Year

The first Cage coverage of the year will be in bits and pieces. Reasons being: I was late as I had to feed myself and Kiok first, and was more often than not distracted by the questions she asked.

The first scoreline I heard was 1-1, created by Alvin and completed by Kelvin. I was surprised. Err…played for almost half an hour and only two goal? What’s happening? But my train of thoughts were broken by Kiok who asked me, after Mr. All-Can picked up the ball with his hands. “Can use hands to pick up the ball meh?”

Err…he goalkeeper leh. Aiyoh…thought she went through this with Aunty Wendy before, at Tampines Stadium where all the punters turned and looked at her.
Her next question nearly made me rolled on the floor. “How come today I come, but none of them are topless?”

I tried very hard to focus on the game, and Peter scored for 3-2. Kiok was reading the newspapers and was trying to tell me, my horoscope for the Rat year. The second lunar month is supposed to be good for my romance.

About 15 minutes later, Raphael sent home the equaliser. Though Arsenal got one back for his team moments later. Suddenly, Ahmad applause and all thought he had scored. But his ploy was unfolded when Peter shouted “No goal! Ball went behind the posts and under the net.”

Kiok continued to distract me with her Rat Year’s prediction. Then I heard 4-3! Who scored? Then Ahmad had the goal all to himself. He went for the acrobatic and totally missed the ball, but Arsenal was there to power home the loose ball.

Trailing by two goals, Raphael reduced the goal deficit to 5-4 just after the hour mark. Then it was 5-all, and the boys called for a break at 6-5.

They all looked so “punctured”, but Father Patrick said cannot use the word “punctured” on them, after which, he collapsed onto the table.
I mentioned Kiok’s request to U.N.C.L.E and he bared his back for Kiok to snap a photo. Hahaha!

Second-half saw the scoreline being brought back to 0-0. Since when they started this? And with Kiok’s continual distraction and the goals being scored at the far end, the next scorer was Wenchong at 4-1.

Out of the blue, U.N.C.L.E went rolling and Kiok was too late with the camera. She requested him to “replay”. Hahaha!

With ten minutes remaining, Rongming made it 4-2 and scored another five minutes later. Then Ahmad and Rongming hid at the corner, which was hidden from my point of view. All I heard was, don’t be so serious! It’s only a game!

Right after Alvin scored at 5-2, Kiok shouted “Time’s up!”

“Shhh!” said Kelvin. But they all walked out anyway, and Kiok laughed. The next group of people arrived to take over the pitch. Kiok asked me, which country are they from! I give up!
