H8FC Training 28 December 2013

I made vegetarian mee for a few of us. Alex tasted. Kang Xiang told me to keep at Ah San's house. So David placed the noodles inside Ah San's house. And off we went to play football.

Started off against the kids. There are 7 of them including Uncle Justin and Wee Zheng. We were down by 2-0. I became angry. I told all my teammates not to give the kids chances. They are not normal kids, they are talented. That fired us up and we won 4-3. With me scoring a simple goal.

Then the big guns came. We played just one match which lasted long.

Did I accidentally leave anyone out?

8 against 8. Game on.

I was playing as goalkeeper for Team A. Did the routine saves. Kang Xiang was everywhere. In defence and attack. Shyong Ming prefers to defend these days. He should be running down the flanks. Alex dictating play. With minimal effort, more brains. Nicholas playing well. Complimenting well with Alex in the middle. Winston's friend played well too. Knows how to play football. How Meng, after absent for so long, played too. He too wanted to taste my noodle. Jeff came and shows off with mesmerizing runs. One of those guys whose worth you seeing once a week.

It was raining with no thunder and lightning. We enjoyed every minute of it.

For Team B, Nazri, who is absent for almost 2 years made time for us. He also wants to taste my noodle. Javier's friend another good job done. Look at his accurate long balls. Ah San, again, is a smart footballer. Smoking a lot, yet fit to play at an old age. Wee Zheng linking well with his teammates. Should learn how Arsenal play since he supports them. Winston, the dangerous vulture, winning balls with his long legs. Improving. Javier with his Alonso shirt, those passes and long balls. Difficult to stop him. Uncle Justin can't be pegged down when he's with the ball. This guy defies age. David in a striker position. National Service had boosted his stamina.

MAN OF THE MATCH: ALEX TEO K S. It's all about the positioning. Who to pass at the right place and the right time. Not mind over matter. But brain over brawn. Alex's intelligence is equal to Batman. Of course, Batman doesn't exist.

So we had played and many of us assembled outside Ah San's house. I asked Ah San's little son where's the noodles. He said they are finished. All of us are disappointed. Ah San and his wife, daughter and son had finished my vegetarian noodles.
