Jottings

I love my old blog CURIOUSSYAF so much, I have decided to publish old entries at least once a week. Below is an entry written on August 2, 2006. Yes, close to four years ago!! Enjoy the entry below, unedited. I even spelled my friend Zeck’s name as “Zech”. What a good friend I am. Here goes:

P.S.: I copy + paste the HTML code from the old blog…so yes, the pictures, text color, and text remain the same as the CURIOUSSYAF blog. It’s a pretty long entry, too! Had a lot of time to blog back then, eh?

Episode 2: Of Professionals and Amateurs

Just got back from futsal. I suck. Big time! Enjoy the pic. End of post. (More stories below!)

Thank god you have not closed your Explorer yet because I have a lot to say about our futsal get together. Both Arie and I have been busy getting our teams together in just two days. He told me about it on Monday and I immediately contacted my close friends to join. It was just a friendly match. A get together. A social thing.

I warned Zech when we were both in the car on the way to pick up my brother that I suck (big time!) at futsal and soccer. He told me he suck, too, but of course he can play much better than me.

Most of us arrived at the Sunway Sports Planet by 6.30. We were only scheduled to play for one hour so we had limited time to choose the teams. Alia, Aron, Arie, Cindy and myself were in one team. Feeza, Kush, Lia, Linda, and Zech made up the other team. Confusion arises when Cindy did not know that she and Alia was under one team.

I am much worse, okay? I thought that Ayu and Linda is two different people. If you have read the unedited version, you would know the mistake. So Ayu and Linda is one person. Lia or Ziah is a different girl. Both are my opponents! Thanks to Linda for pointing out the mistake from her comment.

Just imagine a bunch of amateurs playing together with the professionals and soccer enthusiasts. The amateurs kicked the ball all over the place while the professionals showed off their skills, especially when they were attacking.

By the way, my team lack in defense and Arie was calling for defense! Each of my teammates were at the end of the court and by the time Arie called us, we were too tired to get the ball.

I seriously did not know the score but I guess it was equal. Just kidding. I think Kush’s team won. It’s okay…It was a friendly match, right? What to do.

By 7.30 each one of us was very sweaty and just imagine the smell. Nah, kidding. We all smell alright. Had a group photo taken by a nice lady. Should have not used the flash since the picture was very dark.

Of course the night did not just end there. After our game, we talked to each other. Crap about one another. Talked about people in campus. Of course, Kush was talking a lot, even though he was the only one not from Monash.

I do not know about the others, but I had a really great time with the accompaniment of great friends. It was a time to know one another well. It was my first time seeing Aron in person, after he has been regularly featured in Joanne’s blog. I told him that he is a public figure thanks to our editor’s blog.

It was also a time for me to know Cindy, Lia, and Linda. Usually, it’s just “hi” and “bye” but I guess this futsal session allows me to know them at a personal level.

NOTES TO THE PLAYERS…

To Feeza and Alia, it was only the three of us from the KK Korner. Weird, huh? We had so much fun, didn’t we? I’m sure the rest cannot come even if we ask them to. Haha

To Alia (again!), mengadu eh? Nanti kau…

Aron, I’ll read about you in Joanne’s blog, as always.

To Zech, I hope you had a great time since most of us were amateurs.

To Linda, Cindy, and Lia, next time we play again okay? Belanja the boys.

Kush, stop showing off.

To Arie, I know that this sounds lame but the futsal culture is finally part of me. Give me time and I will play with the other Commies. Maybe next year. Hahaha…:D

Stay tuned for the next episode of Gol Dan Handphone!
