well, it's friday. nothing planned so i'm pretty much staying at home for the whole day. Liverpool qualify in an emphatic victory over Olympiakos. it seems they keep leaving the goals to the last minute; something not good for my heart. damn, was it an awesome match. really, to come back from one goal down at half-time to score 3 was amazing. an effective reminder to me on why i supported this club in the first place. anfield is really a mythical, magical place. you could hear the singing, the chants, all the support. the songs were sung in unison and with so much heart. if you wore headphones and closed your eyes, you'd think you're actualli there. the atmosphere was electric. and if you could feel that electricity through the television, hundreds of miles away, imagine how it would feel if you were actually there. that's why i wanted to go this holiday. my mom even allowed me to go but i decided not to with all the stars injured. i think i'll go next season when all the players are ready for serious premiership contention. i think this season is the season where Liverpool revives and frees itself from the clutches of mediocrity. next season would be the one where they will be gunning for success.
still on football, the Werd ACFC players and colin played at the soccer court near dom's house yesterday. it was horrible playing there. the goal posts were chained out of position, lines segregated two courts situated in the middle of a walkway with countless people walking through it, interrupting matches for umpteen times. we tried to play against the better teams in the other court but they were reluctant and we never got called to play against them. it was as if they were afraid. oh well, we ended up playing with a bunch of lamer kids who sucked like hell. lamers, what more would you expect. the only joy they get out of football is when they nutmeg someone. lame-ass lamers. we showed them no mercy, being as physical as we would be with other teams, simply beacuse they were irritating. they were lazy too; another lamer trait. when they blasted the ball out of the court, they just stood there, expecting us to take it. i was pissed off bad and shouted at them to get the ball but one of them simply took his time strolling while one of us went to get it. we were scoring goals past them with ease and they knew they didn't stand a chance so they said they wanted to just take shots at us. typical, cowardice. we were pissed and wanted to take shots at their little, hollow heads but they were all too short. oh well, they all ran away gradually and we ended up alone in the court again. then, we played this team of dudes who were older than us, i think. individually they were fairly good, but their teamwork was non-existent. we played them for about one or two hours then some SCGS basketball players came in to play a match with another team at the basketball court. we were unfortunate enough to have our goalposts chained at the section cordoned off by red tape by match officials. there were a few neighbours but we were too out of breath to give numbers. so we rested in the cc for a while and played the same team again after the match ended. they were hanging around the basketball court, peeping at the girls playing. sheesh. so we played them again, this time they had another player who was very quick but too quick for his own good. he kept throwing himself off balance when he did a turn too quickly. he didn't prove much of a threat anyway. so we dominated again. played till like 9pm. but the thing that really bothered us was the sheer number of people occupying the court and doing whatever they like. i mean, it's a public court, yes, but people are playing for goodness' sakes, just let them be right? the people playing at the next court always played into our court cause they never had 'out' lines. and they didn't care if they were interrupting our game, they just suddenly came in and took all the time they wanted in our court. i was damn pissed and wanted to just slide the bastards but it wouldn't have been the smartest thing to do. and then there would be idiots passing the ball around in a circle in between the two courts. their ball would bop into our court on many occasions. seriously, it sucked playing there. and also, because it was so open it was hard to judge the runs of your team mates cause there would always another pair of legs running at the other side, so you can't really tell unless you looked carefully. kelvin said he would never play at that place again and i share his sentiments. next time, we should all just play at Potong Pasir.
was at the RCCL camp. it was fun and all but it didn't feel as great as other camps. i don't know why. maybe it's becuase not everyone was there. also, it passed quite quickly. maybe it was because the activities took up hours. so yeah, not the best of camps but fun nonetheless. the first day was quite un-happening with the kids not really participating. typical for first the first day of camp. but the second day was much more fun. human monopoly and snakes and ladders. everyone had fun. had late night jamming sessions with jude. dom always crashed early. wrote letters till 6am on the second night. was dead tired the next day. wanted to go jamming after the camp but again, kelvin couldn't make it. so went home and slept the whole day but woke up to watch Liverpool play.
sigh, it's quite an uneventful holiday so far. haven't been jamming and that sucks bigtime. i hate having all this free time being stuck at home. the monsoon weather isn't helping either. i need something. going to pack up the house now since i'm moving. or i could just go back to sleep in this nice, cool weather.
i need something.
