12 May 07: Match Day @ Kismis

Hiya ppl again~

Time for another Kismis team update. The dust had settled after a raging war last week... Not much damage done anyway, so no prob... As we move into exams week for a few of us, we are also happy to welcome back a few of those who have return victorious from their challenge at NUS exams halls... At the same time, praising the absolute weird school timings in Singapore, we are also experiencing a new sch term at Polys. People come, people go... June holidays coming soon, so.... Eric's Tourney is also coming liao... Hehe... We r playing 5-aside artifical turf, 10 June @ St Wilfrid <--- Mark this date!!! So guys, start preparing for this! Last Sat, we were back at SP for another round of soccer. Tis time round, we thought we will be more prepared and ready for any unexpected turn outs liao. The last head-count for that day should be kept at 15-16 will expectations for some 'pilots'. But Murphy is always the first law in anything we do. End up with Erwin bring friends this time... ~.~''' Thank god, we dnt have any ugly incidents/scenes tis time...

How it went: The game kick off nicely wif a simple 5v5 then 6v6... And as our players start to flow in, we start to 'enlarge' the playing space by shift goalposts back... By the time 7v7, SP is alreadi very jam pack liao... But we still try to accomodate... After a short break, we have to let Erwin's frds into the game too (As they have been waiting for long to join in)... We end up pushing the goalpost even further back... The 'soccer court' become so funny odd-shape, like a long rectangle... Reminds me of my childhood game 'Sarong', u gotta take the ball from one end, go pass layers n layers n layers of players before u can see the other goalpost... Damn lame lor... Then came the ultimate, or is it a blessing in disguise, i also dunno... SP also got ppl chase ppl one hor!!! But tis time, we were 'defeated' by some students. Damn, and we always thought t security uncles were our biggest enemies!!! Okie, then lan-lan gotta leave the place and head back to HOME... Yupz, home is Kismis la... End up, had a short and boring game at Kismis, all mood ganna spoilt by the students in SP for some of us liao... Also mainly bcos of the bloody weather also la... Game eventually ended shortly... Final, headcount on 5 May = 20!!!

Well tis wk-end, we'll b back in Kismis... Dnt wanna think so much liao. Kismis is t only place that can accomodate any unexpected arrivals! N since we r planning for many returning players, tat gives us another reason to go back.

We will also be preparing for the June tourney on Sat. I m happy to inform everyone tat our team for this tourney will be lead out by Ben. Please work with him as he gathers his players for the tourney. Will also try to play against Ben's team to help them to gel up n improve... Go Kismis Street team!!! I urge everyone to give them your full support, thanks... We expect a gd position for tis tourney, bringing back the glory to Kismis!

PS: Oh from tis week onwards, i'll not be posting anything for the field team in this blog anymore. I found that it serves no purpose and the info r hardly updated also. I m also a bit disappointed with the 'role' i played for the field side so far. It seems like t best i can offer is to lend them my sch field every Sun and help to book fields only, nothing else. I think i'd quietly done a lot liao. (In short: I'd gotta get better 'support' la...) I guess some of you guys will get what i meant...

Kismis Utd for the win anytime~!
