WE WON! SRC WON THE PREMIER LADIES' TITLE!

finally after 9 long years, we have finally taken the title back into our hands! it felt so damn good to finally win! to finally touch the gold. instead of always dealing with silver or bronze.

anyhow. it was a great game. everyone felt really psyched up before the game. no tension and all. we didn't feel much pressure to win it i guess. i mean we wanted to but there wasn't any pressure on us, considering we haven't won against police the whole season and we were second in the table by goal difference.

during warm-up everyone was looking sharp. not too overly excited. just right. and the game just flowed. the defence did a great job. we totally wiped out their short corner and their attack. i felt we had the game under control alot and it was ours to take.

first goal was scored in the early minutes of the first half. i got a long pass from ying (if i'm not wrong) and i took down the line. dribbled along the goal line and passed it to pris at the penalty spot. the first shot on goal was saved but then the keeper dove and could not cover her near post and both us were going for the rebound, pris touched it in! it was such a fabulous goal! hahaha to me it was 'cause i finally contributed to the team after a bad semis and a slow start. back was getting in the way. BUT i'm better! no more pain! hahaha must be still high from the win so i don't feel no pain. wahh damn nice goal la.

second goal was scored. linda sent the ball into the D. i was way off. not in the line of the ball at all, 'cause i made my run too early but steff was right there at the right time. the keeper kicked the ball which went straight into steff's stick and she TOUCHED IT HOME! GOALLLLL!!! :) exciting right. hahahahaha.

third goal was a nice deflection from pris. i can't really remember how it went. i know it was mingfen who sent the ball in but i couldn't see how it went in, all i saw was it going in. hahaha enough for me to throw my arms into the air to celebrate.

fourth goal. they started the ball and we managed to steal it back through yixin. who played a two-on-one with chin. if i'm not wrong. i think that's right. then yixin gave me a long ball. which i one-touch to fen. who passed it to wanting who took in and did a DAMN NICE CROSS and pris touched it!! GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha. damn funky right! :) :) :)

fftth goal. siewchin took the ball in. beat florence on the right. took a damn nice shot on goal. keeper dove wanting to save, and i deflected it in the other direction!! yay! double effort. and that was it. 5 goals!


some numbers to think about:

5 goals. that was how many we scored to win the title.
4 titles. all in one day. 17th of June 2007.
1 team. with one heart and one goal in mind.
9 years. since we last won the title.
1 player of the match. and i got it!

i don't know how on earth i got it. 'cause i really felt that this wasn't one of my best matches. i felt i didn't do enough hard running and from time to time i could hear mingfen screaming my name to tell me to defend. bleah. i bet i frustrated jude too from time to time trying to do too much. then when they suddenly called my name. i was just so darn shocked. when i told andrew he was damn shocked too. he was like "they like you so much ah? you didn't play very well leh". hahaha he got damn high expectations man. hahah but ya i know i could have played harder and i shouldn't have let my back distract me so much. bleahhh. but nevermind. now 4nations. i'll make the team. i'm determined.

continuing with the numbers.

4 days. that's how many days i'm going to be training next week to make up for missing training last week.
1 doctor's appointment to discharge me from physio.
2 more physio sessions to prove i'm okay

40 days till andrew goes onboard a ship.
47 days till 4nations. (that's if it's 4th august)
72 days till i leave singapore for italy.
4.5 months of not seeing andrew while studying in italy.
6 years till i finally come home for good from all my studying.
2 degrees to achieve in the next 6 years.
4.0 is going to be my GPA.

enough with numbers. i wanna watch soccer now! :)
