Man of the Match? Pui!

So fricking tired during the weekend.. I kinda expected it but I thought I'd be able to handle the tiredness but age is really creeping up on me though my face doesn't show it..

Friday nite was Chor Yew's wedding (his wife is damn hot! lucky bastard haha).. left before dessert cos I din wanna miss the last train and end up taking cab home..

Played in SP's inaugural futsal tournament on Saturday morning.. My team name was Zhong Hua Ying Xiong (I picked it or else it would have been Team FUYUN, which was capt's name).. I was on the bench for the 1st game and being the prima donna (heh) I wasn't pleased about it.. The game was tied at 0-0 when I came on early in the 2nd-half (it was 5 mins per half) and I immediately created a goal with my 1st touch and we went on to win 4-1, with me assisting another and scoring one.. We won the remaining group games 4-0, 1-1 (3-2 on penalty kicks though mine hit the post) and 2-0 and topped the group.. In the semi, after a few failed attempts thanks to my poor timing and being slightly vertically-challenged, I finally got onto one of my GK's long kicks and got the faintest of touches to score.. We won 2-0 and our final opponent was a team we beat 2-0 during the group stage.. I gave us the lead early in the 2nd-half, but sickeningly, we conceded the equalizer in final seconds.. So came the dreaded penalty-kicks, and guess what, my poorly taken kick was saved by their GK.. This time we weren't so lucky as my team-mate also missed his and we lost.. Though I was top-scorer for my team, and possibly the entire tournament with 6 goals in 6 games, I'd rather we won 1st place.. The prize was a $10 voucher from Swensen's.. Anyone wants a free lunch, drop me a line..

Went home and slept till 7pm then went to Andreas' place to catch the big match.. Apparently Hans and Mark were coming but as usual they flew aeroplane.. Bran arrived late in the 2nd half and he couldn't believe it when his team went down 0-3 in 10 mins against Pompey.. I doubt Cacapa will play another game for Newcastle again.. 2-2 was a fair result considering we deserve to concede those 2 goals thanks to horrendous defending.. O'Shea is back to his old O'Shitty self..

A half-asleep me woke up at 8.30am to catch the 9.30 shuttle bus from Clementi bus interchange to Turf City.. Whey they have an ESPZen match at such a god-forsaken place is beyond me.. As expected I started the game as GK.. I saw my name in brackets at the left-wing on the tactical board, which means I'll be playing outfield in the 2nd half right? Fucking wrong! Cos we were trailing 1-2 at half-time thanks to defensive errors by the damn ang mohs in the team, I was told to stay on as GK.. Made a few saves in the 2nd half, even took one on the jaw, but we couldn't find the winner and it ended 3-3.. I visited the website and I was actually named the Man of the Match for my team! Maybe he couldn't think of anyone else cos it was quite a poor team showing.. Or maybe he's finally sensing that I'm FUCKING FED UP of playing GK so he's trying to placate me.. Whatever it is, I dunno how long I'm gonna stay in the team.. What's the point in traveling all around S'pore every week only to play GK?

Tried the lamp chop from Baystreet 21 at IMM last nite.. It was so-so only.. I'd stick to the chicken chop next time..

Feeling the effects of the weekend's activities now.. Can't open my jaw fully and my headache's still there.. Not to mention my inner thigh muscles of both legs are throbbing.. Someone recommend me a masseur pls.. Not really looking forward to lesson tonight..

The tribes have merged as 黑打风.. James has 2 immunity idols while Jamie was dumb enough to use a blank board for immunity thinking it was the idol.. I think Jean-Robert's next to go unless he wins immunity, which I doubt he will unless the challenge is playing poker..
