hopeful.
had a match today. at queenstown. super bad field. it's short and narrow. then the right side of the field is full of mud patches. when i went on to play at right wing, it was super tiring. the boots get sucked in by the mud. and it's super difficult to run. then got lots of mud pools also. end up my whole shirt and shorts got mud. then my boots got a full layer of mud on it. then my socks and legs also covered with mud.
then i did a sliding tackle to dispossess the opponent. then end up i got the ball. then when i stood up, my hamstring was hurting. pulled my hamstring when executing that challenge. then had to limp off the pitch. crap. was still full of energy to play despite running on mud for a long period of time.
then end up we lost the game 5-1. one was a penalty, then 2 soft goals. the rest i have nothing to say. anyway the reserves were playing. so it's okay. the main aim for the match is to let players gain match fitness.
then had full time team talk. then chris said this:
"What can be counted may not count, but what cannot be counted counts. Effort cannot be counted but it counts."
haha! interesting statement but i have to agree. then leonie was saying, "chris, you teaching us english arh." haha! funny people.
then went to take the mrt with whye ming, leonie and chris, with me limping on the way. then leonie, chris and i were talking about the field at alexandra hospital. haha! and leonie keep thinking that i lived in jurong. haha! even though i never lived there before.
then left them to talk cause i was transferring at raffles place station. took the train back to amk then homed.
each step i took was pain. cause of the hamstring. it's slightly better now, but i dunno whether i can take part in training tomorrow. hopefully i can.
