G'day Mate!

Khairul's back from Sydney! Maciam siak, dah balik tak tahu nak bilang orang tau. So we Clanners didn't sambut him from the airport, 'cos only after he got back then he informed us. Anyway, sempena Khairul balik, The Clan decided to regroup at... Where else? Simpang Bedok.

The original plan was to meet at 9pm at Simpang, but halfway through it was changed to 10pm, so me and Nawaz decided to hang out at Tong's while waiting. We watched American Gangster on DVD, followed by a part of House of Wax, before leaving for Simpang. It was good to see Khai again, he 'opened table' with a selection of Aussie keychains for us to choose from, and a goodie bag of Aussie nougats for each of us. How thoughtful.

Of course, a Clan get-together isn't complete with just maggie goreng and a couple of teh-tariks. So at around 1130pm we had the great plan to play football at The Cage. It doesn't matter that half of us didn't bring the proper footwear, that's what motorbikes and cars are for, so those with vehicles drove us back home to fetch our gear for the 1am slot at The Cage.

It's been a couple of months since I last played here, and I really miss it. The smooth pitch, the cushioned side walls, the funky music, the fast-flowing technical football all create a very conducive atmosphere for all the skills and tricks to come flowing out. I love playing technical football, it's football just the way I like it. Umar joined us late in the game, and that added some aggression and a whole lot more skills to the game. We played from 1-2am, though it's seriously not enough, 90 bucks per hour is prohibitively expensive =( Seriously man. The Cage should review its pricing system, especially when no one else booked the pitch so late at night!

After that, it's back to Simpang for a late-night supper of pratas and more teh, before we left home which I reached circa 4am. And after Subuh I couldn't sleep anymore cos I got Riding Theory class to attend at 830am! Gah.
