I felt powerless to prevent the ball from flying into the net on numerous occassions. Yet, I dun tink i did badly today as my defence partnership with Poch wasnt tat bad. The way the goals flew in was hardly my mistakes. Maybe I could have done better with my last-ditched challenges to salvage the situation. Besides defending, our jobs were to pass the ball up to our centres n forward. Despite nt being able to give them a good pass all the time, i believe tat we actually gave them sufficient passes to start a few decent attacks. However, our attacks always failed as the centre just cant pass the ball up or reset back to us despite my desperate efforts to beg them to pass back.

Yet again, we lost. Somehow or rather, I dont feel much pain this time. Maybe i am getting used to the feeling of losing. Just hope that it will be a good learning experience for the cat high n alumni boys.


Ps - pls stop giving away early goals, leaving us chasing the game.

Army life

9 months and 6 days to ORD :) time really flies in a blinkered of an eye. I still remember the numerous times I dragged my feet to Pasir Ris ferry terminal to take the ferry to Tekong. Life as a recruit was as boring as it can be .No sense of freedom for a total of 9 weeks was insane as I am definitely not the type that like to be ordered around. Fortunately, i was in an ultra slack company - Scorpion. Best of all, there were quite a few good looking girls in my company to look at. This eventually helped me to get through the gruesome 9 weeks in tat shithole island.

After POP, i was posted to ScS for BSLC. Yet again, God shone his lucky torch on me as I was posted to the slackiest company - KILO. To top it up, my company under the new training system only had 2 (2 days 1 night) field camps compared to others. I still managed to pass out despite not taking part in 2 key events - section life firing and 28 km route march. This is due to the fact that the main criteria was only IPPT, which as usual, i aced it without any sort of struggle. Gosh- Life was rather great as compared to BMT.

Life is never ever going to be a bed of roses. Guess what, I was right. I was posted to ASLC after BSLC. Being in infantry was never ever going to be on my wishlist as i cannot stand being in the wilderness -feeding mosquitoes. In addition to that, I cannot tolerate the cleaning of my rifle everyday. Such annoying chores definitely exacerbated my quality of life as a trainee. In order to ameliorate it, I managed to get myself out of the course via a few 'brillant' moves. Loopholes of SAF can be exploited to your advantage easily.

From then on, my quality of life reached new heights as I was attached to CMPB- army recruitment centre. Experiencing working life was refreshing for me as I never thought it will ever happen in my 1 year 10 months stint in SAF. I was given the opportunity to take charge of Joint poly - ITE sponsorship. Many things(- processing applications, interviews, preparing contracts, and phone calling ) to learn from my upperstudy who is a DXO. It was nvr easy but my superb learning ability never fails to amaze me. What i like about this is that they are different from combat unit. My superiors did not like to play rank and all of them treat me as their working colleague.

As it was only a 2 months attachment, it came to an end eventually and, I was posted to my last destination- Infantry training institute.

I was posted there as a training specialist which my job scope now is to prepare training programmes n training areas for my unit reservist personnels. 8 - 530 everyday. I have plenty of time to do the things i want. Thank god :) i have a great superior who likes to give off whenever i ask him. In return, I always try to help him and do not need him to pester me about my job. Met numerous fun-loving people out there to kill time in ITI.
Hopefully, my unit wont eventually make us stay in.

All in all, Ns life has been roller-coaster ride and, i learnt many essential things which will allow me to succeed in the working world. Hopefully, i can find a job after i ORDed and, continue playing floorball.

SFL Conference League

The highly anticipated SFL Floorball league competition has arrived again.This time round, it is a mixture of div 3 n 4 teams competing in 2 different groups and top few teams will be able to qualify for the Div 2 competition next season.

As usual, i have planted myself in the Cat high team. However, this time round , we have the sec 2 kids instead of the b div guys+darius + jiawei +sukiat. Expectations were definitely not high, and i was just hoping to win a game - Just one. Really.

The first 2 games were against tj n mj. Even though they are an organised and well-drilled teams, we managed to give a good account of ourselves. I actually felt that the results could have been even better if we have taken our chances. Although we lost, i still saw light at the end of the tunnel.

Next 2 games were against nyp n vendetta falcons. We suffered devastating losses and i got no idea how we played so poorly. Defence was porous, attack was non existent and passing from defence was inconsistent .Gosh !It was so bad that i got rather disillusioned during the vendetta game. To add on to that, i had a bad fall after colliding with the opponent. Despite the severe burning sensation from the various abrasion my body encountered, i still try my best to run.

Familiarizing in a new centre position is hard enough. Add on to that, i have to bear with poor players who cant hold the ball long enough to save their life. Running up (like a shagged dog) to support the meaningless attack was definitely not endearing to me. Running back to defend their counter attack was even worse. Hoping that my forwards might just give me a good pass for a shot was just all i ask for .

Gosh Lord, pls save me. I seriously need your help. I regretted not joining ILO : ( On a side note, i believe that we can pick ourselves up to record our first win soon and I tink Sonia is a good coach.
