Its 6 am... Don't worry people... I woke up at 3 plus... I have a very short sleep time... About 6 hours I'll auto-wake up... So ya...
Omg... I am gonna play defender tomorrow... I am so screwed... I thought I was gonna play Keeper sia! Well... I am really feeling the pressure... Cos I always had support playing defence cos I had more players covering me... Especially when I make mistakes and stuff... I had not been playing defender for like 1 month?
I am worrying that I lost my touch as a defender... I am not even sure I can pass properly anot... Not to mention 7 a side means I am gonna have to provide support and run like hell... Super screwed... And I got to wear knee guard after my collision with David... I hope David is feeling better... Cos he is the striker... SO must run more than me... I have no problem walking and jogging or whatever... I just hope my injury would not affect my performance in anyway... Considering it is already bad, I don't want it to get worst...
Sleeping till morning then go practice awhile! hahhas! Anyways, All The Best Impulse EFC!!! Go out there and show our stuff! Enjoy man!!!

Dived! Not a Fan of RAY
Training again! FINALLY! I dive!!! Not very good at it yet. But better than nothing rite!? WEll, its my first step to bring keeper!
Well, I am diving but my timing is off... For the whole day... So ya... While playing keeper, David and I crashed into each other! Clash of Knees! I am sure I am gonna have to bruises to show tomorrow. I hope David is ok man!
Anyways, I finally got one timing rite! Blocking David's shot for a corner! I think I just dived and he dribbled the ball into me... hahahas! But still got to work on my Goalkick, pumping and catching etc... But AT LAST I am seeing improvement...
Louis' friend Ray join us for training today... He said he played for Tampines Rovers before and stuff like that. I am not gonna deny that he is really good. But he like to tell people how to do things and what to do etc... I am really ok with such stuff. BUT everything changed when we are going home...
He was like ' I don't like to play with arrogant players who like to talk lots of stuff but not that good themselves... ' He was referring to Kah Beng. Navin and I were like ' Yes, he does talk a bit straigh but he does say the truth too... He was like ' I don't like such people and I don't like to play with such people. ' We know Kah Beng for a long time and we know how he is... How he is straight forward but he isn't the type that talk smack only... For that, even if he is Louis' friend, I don't like this arrogant dude who do not respect us. Like he is new and he come here and bad mouth people... Tired... At least I studied...
Man... Super tired when I woke up today... I should be having Environmental Science now... Guess where am I? At home! Well, I can just read the notes and I think I'll be fine...
Anyways, I am kinda happy... Cos finally I begin to study... Like cos I had to wait for An Wei and Poobalan to go training yesterday... I had 5 hour free... So at I went to the library to listen to some CD and study at the same time! Sweet! Well, I wasn't studying the whole time luh... Like I went to eat... Then listened to cds and study... Check girls out from time to time... Yup...
Genetics and Molecular biology isn't as chim as I tot! Its that Mrs Chan that make it super dry, boring and sleep inducing!!! I read the notes myself, quite clear to me! Walao! Training later man! Gotta DIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Feel like shooting myself...
Just came back from training... I cannot dive... Not sure why... SO many goals could have been avoided if I just dive... I just can't... Some ball should have been tightly in my hand... I keep slipping and need a second grab... And my goal kick is horrible... Anyways, I still got tomorrow to get things right... I wish coach wouldn't just throw us into games and work on my keeper stuff more...

The Snoring Experiment! I prefer criticism to praise...
Well, my mum always say she always come into my room and hear me snoring... So I want to really find it out. Cos obviously I don't know how I sound like when I am snoring rite? So one of these days, I am going to find a audio recorder and record me sleeping!
Anyways, I had time to reflect on yesterday's training... Was really a eye opener... Cos I see some many stuff I can improve on! Well, its kinda good to hear from Navin, Kah Beng and Jason. Cos they shoot straight about my flaws... And there is alot of them!
Next Saturday is the Tournament! 7-A-Side man!!! 24 hour event!!! From 4pm to 4pm! Like coach said, Just go there and enjoy yourselves! THat is what I am going to do! Just go there and learn and correct my mistakes! Remember to use hands and stuff. I think this is a good opportunity to get myself familiar to the keeper role... I wonder what are we goona do when we are not playing? Like... I am sure there are times we are not gonna play...
To be honest, for the past 3 months of being a Right or Left back... I finally hard wired the defender mindset into me. Now I am a keeper, I have to rewire myself to the keeper mindset... Its gonna take time...

Hands...
Went shopping with coach. Well, I was getting shoes for my bro. And I got keeper pants with padding. Anyways, I wasn't really good as keeper... Cos I don't use my hands... Multazam shot 2 low shots and I just try to block them with my legs... Obviously they went in... Here are some of the feed back luh. Make a list better.
Very stagnant ( Just standing there ) Never make myself big when one on one Never use hand to grab the ball Wait for the ball to row to me Never go for the crossing ball Crap goalkick Never dive for the ball Ball come to me, I kick away when I can pick the ball up
Well, I think I missed out some... But if I can work on these, I would be very happy. During training, I make a couple of saves... But I think they all shot at me... Like Pak's shot across goal, I palmed it away with one hand... It was quite a strong shot, but my hand did not break. A couple of shots were block cos I just move towards the attacker and he shot at me and the ball hit my legs... Then Pak's indirect free kick was tamed... But ya...
Then the match... Yes, those kids are back from last week. I did not have much to do really... Most shot misses... My defence were good... But when a shot came in, it was fast and I conceded... Feels like crap to concede... Another shot came, long range, on target but no power... I picked up that rolling ball... Well, that's about it... Good thing there is extra training on MONDAY!!! When I was sub out, I wanted to stay man! I want to play more!!! Anyways,We won 2-1... I wanna improve!

Ring Ding Dong!
This is a song I heard from one of the girls in class... I was like... Err... I wonder what they can come up with, considering the title is Ring Ding Dong.
So I searched for the video on Youtube. Its by SHINee... Sounds familiar but I gave the the song a try. At first I find the chorus very amusing... But the rest of the song is quite good. After a few repeats of the song... I learn to ignore the amusement of the chorus and slowing find it catchy... I keep 'RING DING DONG-ing' in school today...
I am by no means a fan of K/J pop... For one reason... I don't understand what they are singing. Anyways, here is the video.
I have to say, it is of very good quality.
OTHER UNRELATED NEWS: Training later! Shall post the next player profile on the team blog on Friday. So do look out for that people.
splash around!
