Another packed Saturday

Well, it's certainly been a long and tiring day for me. Let me start from the beginning. Well, i woke up late this morning because I was dead tired after yesterday's training. I'm so glad that I finally had some time to clear my undone tutorials this morning, which are still many in number-a considerable pile. Had lunch at home today with my mum, who nicely cooked for me. After that, it was time to leave (for my mum actually, cos she was fetching my dad from the airport, and I did not want to stay home alone.) for the match at NYP (friendly against RJ). I arrived too early. I had been planning to go to the pitch early and hit around until 3, but someone had beaten me to it-the RI kids were training there. I walked back to the mrt and met vijay, who was looking for a place to have lunch, so I went with him to this food centre buried deep inside the housing estate, and we made it back to the mrt in time to meet all the others, then we all went to NYP together, and got held up by the security guard who wanted to copy down our names from our ezlink card-nosy fella. Dynamics, then coach gave this team talk, which I missed because I was helping David Loh guard his video camera which I didn't know how to operate (well, it's one of those hi-tech gadgets-what do you expect? I never use the stuff.) I guessed it was probably about the 3-3-3-1 formation tactics. Then the first half people went in to play. I was put in in second half. Today, coach changed my positions a lot, and I kept worrying that I had done something wrong. First, I was in left wing, then I missed 2 tackles, then I came out for a while, and went to play right back, where the RJ people played the ball so fast that I didn't know what was going on for quite a while, then I got put to right half, and that was when some real disaster struck- I did not run into space so as to make myself available for passes, and by then, I felt that I was physically dying. I also overan quite a bit, up to the opponent's 25 at some point, only to have to sprint back to the half line immediately. (RJ was crowding the midfield with 5 ppl, and it's hard to get them once they have the ball. I felt soooooooooo relieved when umpire blew the final whistle, because I was close to puking out my lunch by then. The team encouraged me a lot today, so thanks a lot guys- you'all are the best:)After that, cool down at the NYP track (a great place, especially the field, which I damaged considerably after I hit a few stray balls out of the practically unused field, without getting scolded for violating the sports complex rules of course...lol...) Ya, and the team went out for dinner at AMK after that - this food court near the mrt station that was as crowded as can be. After that, I came home straight away by mrt, and that's the end of another day in my life. Yay!
