alright lets forget about soccer for the time being. why don't we organise a trip to malacca and have some portuguese crusine? if we're crazy enough, can bring a soccer ball and train there (not sure if the altitude is high enough for some serious practice) but i rather we grow fat on fish and chips there, which according to tay, is sinful.
come on dudes. team bonding time!

behold the team jersey
unveiling the team jersey.. sponsored by nike but paid for by us.
after much contemplation, unruly disputes, cries of mutiny, and even a match to decide the outcome, everything was settled thanks to the following key words: 'nike costs 27 bucks, nike is cheaper la.'
bob and yewtze both raised a good point though - white isn't distinctive enough. despite the classy look, i forsee problems with future match-ups; unless we qie the legends every week, most teams wear white. maybe we can get the pink t-shirts from royal sporting house - they cost about ten bucks each - as an away kit.
anyone free tomorrow to put the order?
can someone be treasurer? (i vote yewtze, despite him being the guardian of the chui golden orb)

match report
score: Hornyteam 2 [Name]Less 2
scorers: zhipeng 2
attendance: 19.000
report: tay had a last minute commitment, and liangfa already said he wasn't free. but the rest turned up in what was the highest attendance since.. we formed this team, which is definitely something to be very happy about. had a few things to try out, which went through, all with varying degrees of success.
the team started off with wee leong as keep, sum and wee theng finally forming the much anticipated defensive partnership, bob as the dm in front of them. congjing took on the forward position, while yewtze played in the free role just behind him.
some things need to be experimented, but surely the backline was not one of them. complementing each other seems to be somewhat of an understatement; sum was freed for once to assist in the attack, while wee theng proved to be the rock, albeit an angry one. bob was his usual steady self, yt pesky, cj calm and composed. but finishing has always been a problem, and so it proved after we missed quite a host of chances. the opposition missed their fair share too, and there was some desperate defending from both sides.
zhipeng and leonard and leonard's girlfriend finally arrived ten minutes into the match. zp took the field after the twenty minute mark, as cj took a breather. the pace was now relatively fast-paced, with the horny dudes pegging us back for long periods. half time approached, with the scores still at nil-nil.
it must be said that horny keeper wayne proved to be a huge barrier literally, blocking goal-bound shots time and time again, while horny defender ka yun was always in the right place and right time to deny us. something special was needed.
it was a mistake from the defence that allowed the tall hornyteam dude to sneak in a shot, which slithered beneath the despairing lunge of wee leong. it must be noted that the sum-wt partnership wasn't there, because leo had subbed on for sum. it was not leo's fault however, as he had already made a foolhardy attempt to kiap the ball. but wee leong couldn't really be blamed either as the ball was so tricky that any keeper would have been fooled. so it's that tall guy's fault for mishiting the ball. anyway we were one-nil down.
after a few exciting exchanges which i can't really recall, the situation looked bleak. the sun was shining brightly, the heat was unbearable at times. then zhipeng, who had been repeatedly hacked down for nearly the whole match, took an unexpected swing at the ball, which eluded the whole horny defence including the huge keeper wayne, and GOAL! what a beauty it was, and i have to use caps and bold to emphasize. top right hand corner, with the venom of a pissed zp. game on.
there wasn't much time left, hence after some half-hearted negotiation between the two team managers, extra time was played. zp scored a lucky goal, sum and leo clashed to score hornyteam's game tying goal, and then jx came on for a five minute cameo. shit this is damn draggy la.
menofthematch: wee theng and sum
shared the award after a great defensive performance. the tenacity, technique, and most importantly mutual trust was there for all to see.
quoteofthematch: "i think tay is better after all.. holy crap i take it back" jx's indecisiveness shows 0.54s after zp's wonder goal.
conclusion: the only question now is, whether the defence is going to show up every week like this. if so, things can only get better.

damnit where's the team name.
friendly on 4th march, sunday
venue: NIE futsal court
match time: 0900
water parade: 0845
opponents: the horny team
this is a team which goes back to the days of sec 1, the age when we wore our shorts high up, shuddered at the taste of alcohol, and believed becks was going to stay at man utd forever. the days of the street court still etched in my fragments of memory. no doubt, this probably will be the next level we seek. in terms of teamwork at least.
currentsituation: despite our recent disputes about team jerseys, it's time to set aside our differences. as of now (2 march 2007 1540 hrs), turning up will be bob, yew tze, wee leong, weetheng, congjing. tay and zhipeng should be able, leo has no choice. liangfa has something on, while sum is still unknown. so close to getting our full team, but we are getting there. tmd when we settle our team jersey please all turn up for photo shoot.
wee leong keep; toying with the idea of starting tay behind with thengz. but i think we'll start with bob and wt in defence, yew tze in the usual pesky role, tay and zp in attack. cj, leo and me sub first. if sum turns up, might try him and wt in defence.
opposition: i've known the bulk of them for nearly a decade. the street court defence of max and ivan is always worth mentioning for it's versatile playing style. then, at least. we've played with the maniac weilin before. richard, as read from their blog, is probably with zhiping their front two. not sure whether kayun or wayne will keep. in all, their movement quick, passing definitely better than us. defence please be on your toes.
tay physically getting the better of the defence, zhipeng to be clinical, and our own defenders holding out will be crucial. yewtze to contain weilin.
conclusion: passing people. let's focus on the passing. not neglecting the win, of course.

jerseys.. and pink ball
okay.. format sucks but i'm damn sleepy now.
i personally am all for the white jersey with red nike tick. it costs around 27 bucks with name and number. the rest look like crap, but that's the best out of a bad lot. keeper jerseys for wee leong, leonard or even bob.
guys, look, and tell me this sunday, which one you guys prefer. the price range isn't that far off, and we found a pink, gay ball. name and number, remember. wee theng, we got some negotiation to do.

transfer: cj running away?
report - team-w/o-name mercurial forward/midfielder cong scholes, though highly unlikely, could be heading for newer pastures.
the enigmatic player, brought in to the team by energetic player leo chunavaro, has been a vital figure since his unexpected debut against the NIE Legends a few months back. however, the team will be surely be rocked by the news of recent rumours; i) his agent was spotted conversing with strange looking men in dark coats and glasses ii) teammate cesc fatzegas received an ominous call from his ex-pri sch classmate, stating 'heh we're after your cj'.
h0berto mancini has vehemently denied that congjing is available for transfer. however, the taped conversation between fatzegas and his shady friend has stirred up a storm of controversey and deceit. apparently tze, on hearing the proposal, said 'okay lor', without attempting to put off the potential poachers. the team will announce this week how much fatzegas will be fined, despite his successful organising of the soccer outing yesterday.
obviously cj scholes could not be reached for comments, otherwise it would be posted here. his powerful display in yesterday's session spoke volumes though, of an attempt to up his market value.

friendly on 24th feb, sunday
venue: cashew heights (aka vin's house)
match time: 0900
water parade: 0845
opponents: yew tze's friends united
another mighty pangsey from the horny team; either they fear us or they can't be bothered or they are really busy, it doesn't matter. match postponed to next week. i can't really do a review on tomorrow, because as mentioned, they are yew tze's friends, not mine. all yours yew tze.
current situation: since we are playing at bukit panjang, it means sum is not coming. team attendance is thin: liangfa, weetheng and bob (down with chicken pox) aren't coming too. assuming we are playing 6 on 6, wee leong takes command as the last man. leo will defend, as usual, this time with either cj or tay. personally i think tay should play behind in that court, but ah well... zp and whoever doesn't play behind in attack. yew tze central mid, pulling the strings.
opponents: (to be filled in by yew tze)
he mentioned that 'three are good, four recreational dudes.' go figure.
objective: 5 mark question? anyway, zhipeng and tay to work on their partnership. yew tze to pull more strings. leo to adapt.. another defensive partner in congjing. wee leong to overcome his fear of long goal posts. jx to rehabitate and play abit.
conclusion: no major trying out. the team shape should be there. just work on areas that need improving. and think of a team name.

diafa: no pink
fiesty and fiery dm maliangadou diafa arranged his first press conference since his official joining of the team today. many anticipated the former saf player to berate his past employers and talk at length about his happy release last tuesday. however, diafa stormed into the room, and in front of a dozen bemused reporters, stated angrily that pink "is gay".
"i will quit the team if we get a pink jersey," fumed diafa, before adding on "no luminous green too." mumbling that he 'wasn't a homophobic dude but just a conservative guy', maliangadou then left abruptly, leaving the everyone in a state of shock.
no doubt ronaldinho tay and cesc fatzegas will try to change his mind, as they are advocators of the colour pink. tay has personally requested tight shorts, while fatzegas wants a pink team ball.

update
i sent out the message yesterday, so those who have bothered to read and reply, take note once more that our match with the horny team will be postponed to the week after chinese new year.
the horny team... could be the strongest opposition we will face so far. it's like a rpg game; every last boss gets tougher. but we are getting stronger too. there's no purpose in dwelling at a stationary point. what we count in months, they count in years. it'll be a fun challenge.
in the meantime, new year approaches, and valentine's day beckons on wed.
