Game 26 - January 4th 2009

Extract from TKH website:

Venue: Victoria School (Siglap)
Time: 2.30pm
Opponents: Victoria Kallang
Pitch: Artificial.
Game: ON!

1st team: Shahril Brown, Arip Toure, Aizad Terry, Wan Nesta, Wan Tanker, Fadzil Pepe, Wan Pelique, Khairul Keane, Yusry Kewell, Zulhikam Ronaldo, Zulhairy Robson, Roy van Persie, Hafiz Rooney, Azril Fowler, Rennie Iskandar

A day anticipated by many TKHians as a kickstarter to the new year ( and hopefully more monthly games) has finally arrived. Heavy downpour threatherened to breakaway. It did, but passed before the game. Nice cool weather plus a wet surface meant an excellent field for all.

One by one my playmates on the field, gd pals off it reached. I had 18 players today and it was a wonderful dilemma to be in. Who to play first? Who to play where? I'm loving it.

I welcomed Rennie Iskandar to the team, as also several others who were wearing the new TKH Nike kit for the very first time. Warm- up followed and soon it was play ball!

TKH dominated the game entirely, but because we seldom play together, we lacked the fluidiy of the KV. Our final pieces of play were lacking as we pressed on the final few minutes. With due respect to the opponents, TKH should have won this game easily.

Well, in the end a nil-nil draw was deserving to both teams. Shahril had a good game in goal, Khairul palyed a composed game, and as we always say, we should have won the game. Enjoy the pics. Nil Sine Labore.

*Played as left-wing in the game. Been playing on the left alot lately, for both OVA and TKH. Yusry even contemplated playing me at left-back to come up against Adam, who's playing on OVA's right wing and whose pace is a threat. In the end, I played both halves on the left-wing with Roy slotting in the right.

My 1st Match as an Old Victorian!

I've recently been called to join the Old Victorians' Association, my alma mater's alumni, to play for them. So far, I've had only a kickabout session with them once, and this was the 1st time I was playing with them as an Old Victorian, under the team Kallang Victorians (we Victorians have shifted sites 3 times). I had no hesitation at all in forking out $40 to buy a set of jerseys, as it was the only time I've ever got to don a jersey representing my school badge, even though it was the OVA's badge, because I did not play for VS back in the schooling days. I felt incredibly proud of course. Match was against Team Esplanade, a team of burly, middle-aged tattoo-ed Mats with fierce hair and even fiercer faces. We won 2-1 anyway. Played the 1st half as a left-winger, and the 2nd as a left-back. A first for me!

Match-Day PhotoA team-mate commented that I look like Sonic the Hedgehog, what with the spiky hair, blue jersey and red boots. Konghasam! =\

This Sunday 040109, my football team, TKH, will be having a match against the OVA at Victoria School's artificial pitch. This will be interesting because the core of TKH are made up of Victorians from The Clan, and we also have played for/with the OVA at one point or another, including Al Capitan Yusry, Aizad, Khairul, Zulhairi and Yours Truly. Not forgetting that OVA also has Adam, a Clan member but not in TKH, in their ranks. The TKHians will of course be playing for TKH, and so we'll be squaring off against Adam and Friends. I'm all fired up for this!!!

1st Post of 2009

Happy 2009 Everybody!!!

I thought of making this the final post of 2008, but it was not to be.

Warning: This is gonna be a looong post.

I've FINALLY updated my blog. Due to popular demand, I've complied with your requests. Here are pictures from my family holiday to Malaysia, at various locations.

Swimming almost everyday, playing around with my nephews, even having the following conversation with a Malaysian Mat working at Sunway Lagoon:

Mat (Eyeing my choker): Lawa rantai bang!
Me: Huh?
Mat: Lawa tu rantai pat leher!
Me (Thinking he was sindir-ing me): Biasa jugakkk. Da 7 tahun pakai.
Mat: Tak pernah nampak orang pakai pick guitar buat rantai. Abang main guitar uh ni?
Me (Wondering where this is all going): A'ah. Sikit² ader la main guitar.
Mat: Ohh. Nanti pergi Rockworld tak?
Me: Huh? Rockworld?
Mat: A'ah. Ada Wings, Search, Awie, Amy semua hebat² ada...
Me (Realizing that ni Mat fellow Mat Rock rupanya): Oooooh. Bila tu? Mana?
Mat: 20 haribulan (December) pat Stadium Negara.
Me (Dengan muka penuh toya): Ah Insya'Allah aku pergi.

Ah ye lah. Insya'Allah dengan Mat Rocker eh. And Stadium Negara eh! Setep aku ni warga Malaysia je...

And oh. I even made a bet with my Brother-In-Law that I will approach a Miss Tourism contestant (Miss Tourism International 2009 pageants were taking place at the hotel I was staying in) and ask her for her autograph. And I did! Turns out I got Miss Tourism Philippines. Heh. More updates later. For more pics, look my Friendster Profile.
