TOFFA MVP!

sorry to displace your lovely post toffa =$

19june smu touch
feel really bad for the guys. we were all kinda psyched up about the competition and yet only after playing ONE match, it rained. miao had a really bad day and when he came, we just finished our first game and well.. the tournament was cancelled, so that means he didn't even play at all. ck pulled his muscle. and well.. it was rather disappointing. but i hope that at least now the guys will know that touch is not a simple game and that there are people out there who play so much better than them so they can stop being cocky already =P still, thank you to shouyee (authorityabuservicecaptain), chenkai, miao, weiren, loon, danny.

21may physical training!
it was super hot. and only i think 8 people turned up!! yay, siok came for PT!! there was only 3 j2s - siok, toffa and i. tsk. but it was fun! haha surprisingly. really need to work on my fitness man, though i think it's too late.

23may rugby mania!
this day was awesomee. it was a nitty gritty tough fight all the way to sudden death. zhehan was hero of the day! the rest of the rugby team really deserve all the kudos as well for every match they played, the injuries they suffered. i miss contact! it was when you didn't have to be afraid of getting touched. haha.. and it was just an all out kinda game as compared to touch. like you'll just dive without a second thought. just WHACK! touch is so much more civilised in comparison. haha. but of course touch is still FIRST LOVE! wah that reminds me that playing blacksfuntouch was soo awesome. will elaborate more later. yup and thank you so much NJC for agreeing to play with us at such late notice. i hope that this exhibition match managed to create better awareness about touch rugby though i actually doubt.. =P you never really understand or come to love a game until you start playing it. btw, heh. WHO was the roving reporter/photographer?! heehee the reason why you can see the haka and all the coolios pics of our champions? =D had to be so thick-skinned can!

team dinner
yay i had so much fun, and the food was awesome. $28.8 for sirloin steak pirates meal, earthquake, and seafood tomato chowder was yummilicious. but it took forever for us to settle the bill. we should have more regular team dinners and not just the end-of-term ones. =)

blacksfuntouch
wah our captain jack sparrow so humble, conveniently left out that she was awarded MVP for blacksfuntouch U20 girls!

now, i shall talk about my team. I thought you guys really up-ed your game as well - shiya, angel, weishan, yinglin and bong (injured! =(). let's see, we scored a total of 30 tries in total throughout the whole tournament! OMG! =D Sorry I came late and missed two games =$

If the other teams want to know your scores, you can let me know =) blacksfuntouch is damnnnn fun! let's all sign up as a few alumni team next year!! dummy can get touch, dummy can score. suddenly touch becomes so much easier to play. haha.. and the grid is small so you don't have to run too much (therefore doesn't really require fitness, yay!) and even after playing 10 mins you feel like it was the shortest game you ever played, partially also because of the frequent substituting. it works on 3v2 which is perfect (no need punch ups which is tiring) but defense is madness. haha.. that's why score difference can be quite high. yay and i love the refs at pitch 2 (cherry chew mei mei and jamie). but there are refs that are ------.

28may TRAINING
i hope this will not be our last training cos it was slightly anti-climax. firstly, not many people turned up (i hope you all get better soon!). secondly, khai had to rush off for his own game. and of course, DERELYN is in perth! =( but I had so much fun and honestly i guess i was rushing on adrenaline (plus eating snickers!). after training, few of us stayed back and had a 'heart-to-heart' talk =) like the sky was dark and we were sitting in a circle on the field near the rugbypost and then the specs gallery light was turned on and it was so =) i cannot imagine how life would be like without playing touch. but that day is imminent. oh dear.

maybe tomorrow, i'll go running. HA! as if that would happen. but really gotta psyche myself up for m1 on wed. it might really be our last tournament though.. i don't want it to be. the last m1 was such an emotional affair and we knew it was just one of our 'last few' tournaments. i'm scared, anticipating, anxious, excited, worried etc etc. omg, feeling butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. it's kinda weird if m1 IS our last tournament and yet we are having our camp next week. haha.. like what for? last bonding? lol. sorry sorry. i mean i love the camp but it was kinda for the running up towards nationals. ARGH!

haha.. really long entry and just me rambling. =$ sorry ar. long time since i had the opportunity to just rant on. and sarah encouraged me to blog! haha. m1 on wed! all psyched up!

love,
