ver. monster

i hesitiated today if i should go for game. if anything happens, i will definitely not be able to take part in the salomon trail run which i signed up for.

but i went because i wanted to play with ntu today.
during warm up. i tell u. wahs. cannot back paddle. cannot do anything that requires push off or like ankle work. like carioca, side shuffles, high skips... basically.. everything. i almost wanted not play coz the pain was like there.


but ok la. alot of positive self talk. forget abt it. just take care and focus on ball work. running hard to gaps would just be a bonus if i can.



then game.
honestly, i can't rmbr what happen today. ahhas. all i know is that our hands were actually quite bad and ntu's moves and ours were the exact same thing. pros and cons la. hahas. but i rmbr on my first attack, i was on the right link. gg for final touch. ball was passed to me, then aiya, since last one.. try the most basic drill of committing and passing. then i did... i actually successfully sucked in the winger then i pass to ruby and she run to score. damn shiok. coz ntu was leading 1-0. i felt it was a forward. but aiya, take it as a lateral. hahas. damn shiok.


another thing i rmbred a pass that boo wanted to make to me. so i reminded myself to stay out and inbetween my men. then she passed, i stepped and broke through. damn shiok. i was through! but soon, i felt anne goh coming after me, i slowed down, saw boo and wanted to pass to her. so i passed and she hit the ball and tadah, opponent hit the ball! fresh 6 to us. shiok. i should have take the dump actually, but i thought things could work for boo since i saw her in a gap. ahhas. but it was good. (ok. actually. after the game, i asked if it was really anne who was chasing me coz i couldn't see.. they say no! ahhahhas. shit. should have just run harder and more)
and it was like 4/5th touch i think. its really these basic things in touch that makes things very successful.


today i learn 2 things.
1) commit and pass
2) gaps.
actually they are one thing la. but oh wells. make it sound that i learn more. ahhaas.


refs are good today. the same gd/bad calls made. there's one bad call, but gd to us: i phantom on anne goh. hahas. but then puishan touched her. then anne said to the ref that i phantom. i did not like say yes/no or defend myself.. i just gave the er-ok look. hahas. then ref was like.. 'i didn't hear anything'. wahs. my heart felt damn bad but ok la. not a very critical decision anyways.


but yea.
throughout the game, i was damn focused on taking care of myself. like not to step too hard and i really back paddled hard using my left leg more. thats y i think now there's a big blister or my left foot. i've killingly applied antisecptic on my open blister just now and literally gave out screams.. hahahas. in the gd name for tmr.


but really ar.
throughout these days, i've been diligently icing my ankle. changing the ice when its not cold anymore and i think it has really paid off. thank God alot man. if not today i dont think i can even make it out of the house. cheapest and most effective remedy. dun need to go see doc who would require u to pay like $50 and hear him say the rest-and-no-sports-for-2-wks thing. yeahs. ahhas. just need to keep refilling the ice tray.


ok. rest well folks. may i survive the run tmr.
