Nelson's Birthday Celebration... yesteday...

Today was a rest day for me, as well as to catch up on all my readings and stuffs... been busy for the past few days....
And so.. didn't go out or do much today, except to replenish supplies from NTUC...

Anyway,went for Nelson's 21st Birthday clebration yesterday... another gathering for the MK team....

It was a BBQ session at Punggol park... i realised that 3 out of 4 of the MK team did the celebration BBQ style... so waht will the 4th and youngest memeber do?
But well.. i guess his house is big enough to do wahtever he wants...

Anyway, we went down earlier to help witht he set-up and stuffs, then basically after that, i am more involved with the barbequing...
Nelson's busy entertaining friends.... the other 2 went on with their respective 'spouses' to do their stuffs... so i am like kinda lonely...
But fortunately... or unfortunately, i've got 2 other VS classmates for company, R and J....
Yep... those who know, will know... haha
It's been so long since we all last gathered.... since i stopped organising BBQs for my former class... haha...
Hey... it's tiring to do it all the time man...

But i'm kinda tempted to oragnise another one again... haha....
But we will see how things go first....

VS... those were the days man....

And yep... basically i was just bbqing and eating at the same time... it's a joy to see your food cook, then eating it hot ... ^_^

Then basically... we stayed on for awhile for the cakes and photo taking... chilled around till near mid-night, then proceeded home...

Oh yar... also ,managed to catcha glimpse of Nelson's potential.... haha.. well.... quite sure they can move on from there...
But then, i will be like the sore thumb in the team liao.... the only single man... haha...

I noticed a age pattern in all the GFs of the team too.... Nelson's 2 years younger, HK's 1 year younger, and Luis's is the same age...
And so.... if the pattern is consistent, i will either be getting one older than me by 1 year, or younger by 3 years.... haha....

Well... just rubbish findings... ^_^

Went for a soccer session in the morning before the clebration... after much persistent persuasion from the manager.... haha..
No choice man... the star goal-keeper.... when you are needed, you are needed...

I would say my performance is rather good for that session... i'm did quite abit of good saves here and there, although the fact remained that we lost every match played...

I'll like to give a honest feedback here though.... i mean... as a goal-keeper, i can only do as much to stop goals from getting in.... but if the scorers are not getting goals in to help reduce the chances of shots against me, i don't think it's fair to have the blame put on the goal-keepr...
From where i stand, i can see the match very clearly, and i realised that the number of goals scored is actually a very low ratio of shots attempted at the opposite team...
If i am not mistaken, i believe i saved more goals then the goals scored by the team...

Well.... it's not something that i like to brag about, but i would like to present some facts around here.... because it is kinda annoying to get critised for letting goals in...
I mean, i can improve , and i want to, if you can talk to me properly...
But i wonder how come those on the field doesn't seem to be improving too?

This brings me to my 2nd point... my personal feeling is that the blame is put more on the goal-keeper's blunder to save goals than the striker's missed attempt at an easy shot... or something like that...
I mean, if i fumbled abit on saving a goal, i get the critisim and stuffs, but i don't see much being done about a striker's fumble shot to an open goal, or easy shot...

Anyway, but mentioning this stuffs, i am not trying to do any finger pointing here and there... i mean afterall, it is a team game....
So, i believe the team can only improve, if the whole team improve... i can learn and accept all the critism for goal-keeping, but if those out on the field aren't going to improve, then what is the point?

If you want to play soccer, let's play good soccer together...

So, are you game enough?
