The 2nd Reich

To Shuaiji Tatkiew,

Can you remember the glorious victories on the battlefields?
Waves after waves they came, but the steadfast Shuai Ji held to their grounds.

Does the sweet taste of a goal, the thrill of anticipation leading to an assist, or the of a well-placed tackle still stirs in your sweetest dreams?
We are not done yet with the spilling of the enemies' blood.

How can one forget the amount of blood and sweat, which we so readily poured out for one another on the pitch?

Death shall do us part.

The Holy Roman Empire had fallen, but who are we sit back in the prime of our youth?
The passion fuels the brave and willing... The revolution is on.

One by One, We will retake what we had lost.
Yours Sincerely,

Joyous little tunes

Journey to the West

Guys my easter break is coming! I will exploring a little of the west.

红毛神话 - debunking the myths

1) Everyone here is football crazy... My Brother is still the most passionate lah. Except for the military and athletes in the ocuntyr, I can safely say that nobody else bothers to keep fit here. Feel the pudginess of stomachs as you squeeze through buses with some of the most narrow aisle! Sad to say, People who plays football here are a minority and watching matches in pubs is so lonely and depressing. This brings us to...

2) Their football is damn 神! Any Tom can thrash us combined together... Played a few times and still looking for my match...

3) UK girls are damn ugly. To be fair, I only appreciate girls of asian cultural background where character, demureness, witty and cute are desirable qualities. But my friends around me do get honkie tonkied by the locals here.

4) The engineers here are definitely better. Be confident of yourself, my fellow singaporeans. You will be surprised how the students and lecturers here holds NUS and NTU engineering in high regards. Apart from this, there are many many aspects of national infrastructure where we pawn first-world countries outright. Shake yourselves free of the rusting colonial chains. (Makes one suspect if Singapore seebay yao-gui, wants all the benefits of a developing country.) Of course, don't overdo it and become a ...

5) Racist!... No(1) la(3)! Minus the fact that this KNN bus driver tries to run me over when I demanded that I board the bus by standing right in the bus' track, most of them are pretty friendly.

One last thing: Once you fit yourselves into shoes as a minority, you will see from a perspective where looking down on other races is indeed pointless and immature. Ask yourselves, how is a PRC, Hongkie, or for that matter, a Bangla different from us?

What occupies our mind when we are 20 yrs old? Were you worrying about food and seriously considering taking a step half a continent away - to pick up the worst job with the worst pay and suffering the worst treatment, all while forfeiting your entire youth in the process?

Perhaps being privileged is the only thing that sets us apart from other races in Singapore.

[Ang Siong says: I am a 100% Singaporean but I am also a 3rd generation PRC (My grandfather is from China) and I am sure my late grandfather has had his share of abuses when he first migrated here. He belongs to the generation that paved the platform for us to live above the rest around us AND he is a PRC.]

Happy Lunar New Year

Match Report

Yes, yes, after some delay... the match report.

Shuaiji 3 Blue 0

It was a homeground match for the semb guys, 5pm at semb sec. SJ was expecting the now usual opponents, gnks. To our surprise , our opponents were chinese. Also for the first time, SJ had a selection dilemma, or rather the bobian captain Ahli. After some serious thought, ahli decided that the jj's would nt start ahead of guest amin n juff. This lineup is prob the strongest in SJ history. Guest juff turned up, as well as normal guest Amin. First 11 lineup, Engsiang as keeper, louis n chan the LB n RB, kiam n siong the centre backs. in midfield amin n juff in centre controllin the game, diyar n hongkeat on the wings. Beng was pushed up to the striker position w ahli. Weather looks good, even the ref was doin warmup.

The game started lively, not without a few hiccups in defence. Siong the ever stable centre back was making small errors, while kiam still thinks he can beat siong at headers, clashin a few times. As the game progresses, the defence became more composed. Louis n chan put in some impressive defensive work, reducing the opp threat to a min. Chan in particular uses his chest to clear off the line after some sloppy play by SJ. The first time headers were won comfortably by the centre backs and midfield. Amin and juff was winning the tackles in the centre, juff in particular was fustratin the opponents w his trickery, often invitin two or three opp players closin him. One opp in particular was constantly foulin, the normallly calm juff got a yellow card for 'accidentally' kicking an opp when he tried to get a loose ball. Diyar was constantly released on the left by juff and came close to scoring a few times on several occasions only to be saved by the keeper. On one particular occasion, amin threaded the ball to hongkeat, who delivered a pin point ball to ahli, who tried to control w his chest but the ball fell backwards instead. a wasted opportunity. Beng was holdin the drogba role, constantly holdin off defenders and turning them. Another occasion diyar did well to hold off two players in the penalty area for ahli to cut in n shoot...... but it just miss the far post. chances were created, n it seems ahli will finally break his duck, esp when ahli was bought down in the penalty box. Ahli misses again w the keeper savin comfortably. Not ahli's day it seems.

Second half started w some adjustments. Peace loving beng decide to bring on jj junior for hongkeat. Juff switched to the left wing, while diyar played upfront w ahli, Beng pulled back into midfield. Amin continued his pirlo role. SJ kickoff, JJ junior immed got involved in the action. but he was closed down quickly by the opps, leadin to a goal chase for the opp and a last ditch track back by siong. phew. almost... Juff once again tormented the opp defence, doin his usual fakes n feints, linkin up well w amin n diyar w some clever runs. SJ was dominating possession but score was still level at 0-0. Finally SJ went one up, when ahli received a pass from beng, n managed to nutmeg a defender before sending it goalwards. opp keeper paried the shot, n oncoming chan followed up w a weak shot, which the opp defender manages to block and cleared to the far post. diyar was lurking, and tapped in the ball. Goal! 1-0. Finally. The opp were dejected, the gates were suddenly opened.

It was not long before Beng made it 2-0 . juff swing in a corner, beng ran in unmarked and headed the ball. Goal! 2-0. louis came on for Ahli in the last 15mins. juff continued to torment the opp, and send in a inviting cross to be met by diyar at the far post. Diyar rose to meet the ball, w everyone anticipating a thunderous header. ball makes contact w his nose instead, and totally faked the outrushing keeper fifa style. Goal! 3-0. Doesnt matter how its done, its still a goal. In the closing mins, tempers were rising among the opp. Beng caught the opp shin when he went to prevent the opponent from clearing. This immed invited a pool of blues around beng. Blues were not happy w the challenge and angry words were exchanged. The game continued despite the tension. Beng got a yellow for catchin an opp shin again when he track back to tackle. This time, one blue was so agitated that he wants to pick a fight. Scenes of secondary school times flowed vividly into our memories, where ppl like to pick fights. Beep beep beep, Fulltime. So much for passionate defending.

MoM: Two goal hero diyar is a serious contender, but guest Juff also impresses w his trickery n assist. So its now for SJ to decide.

Ahli
ps: i'm not captain
pps: i hate doing shit job.

This is not a match report

That we leave to ali..........

i juz wanna compliment the entire team of playing what i feel was a spectacular team performance.

Eng Siang, for all the insults of being a tee kah and what not. Today he has proved to be a more than able keeper. all his drop kicks were accurate and all managed to reach his intended target. Safe in dealing with the loose ball, he even had the audacity to dribble past an attacker. GOOD JOB boy!!! give praise to where praise is due.

Kiam and Siong are blossoming into one formidable centerbacking entity. Our defence's lack of height in no way being exposed. with perfect timing of headers and exceptional reading of the game. their strikers simply had no chance. Strong tackles and some pretty decent distributing. its great to be part of a back four today which kept a clean sheet.

chan......Mr fatty showing no signs of being held back by that weight gain. ferocious tackling and intelligent support play. Basically i learn how to play fullback by looking at the way u defend. Hardly put a foot wrong the whole day. tho i still can't believe u had a foul throw.... HAHA

the midfield was juz a delight to watch. Hong Keat's delivery was exceptional. tho not choosing to take the ball pass the players, his simple pass open's endless amounts of space.

Amin and Beng are such a compliment to each other's skills in central midfield. Beng being the all action dynamic midfielder winning balls, surging runs and no-nonsense shooting scaring the shite out of their mids. Amin with ever so clever distribution, providing the wings with more balls than a sausage party at MOS. Can i hear andrea Pirlo?

Juff and diyar. If there was anything missing in our play, it was such flair and finess. exceptional ball control and insane wing play. i'm glad i'm not the pityful full-back marking u guys. I'd probably hack u down before halfway line.

Ali seems to be finding his feet again. Altho another match gone without scoring, today he's shown a new dimension to his game. his hold-up play creating a penalty opportunity which he sadly wasted. Nowadays he looks to be slowly regaining his confidence. C'mon, we wanna see the AhLi of old, show them some rocket scorchers please!! And christ sake, shout like a madman for the ball!!!

JJ and JJ... well, din see much action today but they hardly looked out of place... eh manager, are u looking?

MATCH REPORT HOR


Louis Law The Beautiful Wingback

Match Report - Shuai Ji 1 - 2 GNK+

For purpose of simplification, opponents will be called GNK+, as per last match, except this team consist of mainly GNKs with a bit of other races.

Match start with Shuaiji having only 10 men as guest star Amin was abit late, but that's okay, he turned up just at kickoff and got his boots on in no time, and joined in the game.
On paper, this is the best shuaiji team that's been fielded. Formation was a 4-5-1. Keeper Eng Siang retains his No. 1 position. with the return of star-defender-who-never-misses-a-header Siong in central defence, the defence looks very stable. Kiam retains his central defence position after an impressive turnout last match, and also because first choice centreback, Gerald, is away in faraway kangarooland. Louis was shifted to left back, and Chan played his usual position on his right. Midfield consist of Diyar, who's making his debut for shuaiji, Mingxian, Amin, Hongkeat and Derek who's playing abit in front of Mingxian and as supporting striker. touch-ball-den-goal Ah li was playing his familiar striker role. I'd say this team has more than enough quality to cover weaknesses that may exist in individual players.

Prematch view: GNK+ looks strong, physically, but that's okay, shuaiji's never the team to lose out in physical battles. The biggest threat was the weather. Burning hot at 3pm, leaving many of us sweaty after the pre match kickabout.

1st Half: GNK+ kick off.
1st 15 mins saw shuaiji playing some really committed football, with defence superbly marshalled by Siong. The team was compact and we played calm football, with players exchanging short passes and enjoying good support. GNK+ was closed down pretty well.
First danger situation for shuaiji was when curly hair GNK was given time to float a high ball to their striker, kiam and law did well to pressure him and took the ball away from him. New players were still getting into their stride, particularly Derek and Diyar, who were improving with every step they take.
2nd danger situation for shuaiji was when GNK+ keeper took a dropkick and kiam went up for the header, the ball wasn't headed properly and it looped towards shuaiji's goal. Thankfully Siong was able to hold off the advancing striker and saved kiam further blushes.
Around the mid of the half, curly hair GNK was given a yellow card following a tussle between him and Amin, he was spotted by the ref aiming a kick at Amin, ref did well to award yellow card with a stern warning.
After that incident, shuai ji followed up with some good support play and managed to threaten their goal. GNK+ keeper took a dropkick and kiam, remembering that it's been a long time since siong was beaten to a header, decided to go out of position to challenge for the ball. For the 2nd time in the match he fumbled and the ball was sent towards the own goal. Too bad this time siong was standing too close, and though after a hard chase, did not manage to tackle the striker before he made the shot right in front of the advancing keeper. 1-0 GNK+. kiam's confidence was visibly shattered.
The weather was having its effects on both teams as after the goal, GNK+ were playing at a much slower pace, and covering and supporting on the part of shuaiji was reduced, also still kept at a pretty decent level.
First half ended with Beng trying some joga bonito, juggling the ball around 3 defenders and attempting a bicycle kick, which was quite pretty and on target, but lacking in power. This' what football is about, dashes of joga bonito.

2nd Half: Better play by shuaiji, and some unsporting behaviours by GNK+.
2nd half shuaiji started with some energy regained. kiam was looking more energetic after consuming 2 ferrero rochers and drinking much water, though he complained of a pain in his right foot.
Shuaiji was putting up pretty decent pressure on GNK+ and the ball rarely got out of GNK+ half. The wings were impressive as Diyar and Derek constantly tormented their defence with some fantastic dribbling and running, hong keat was swinging in pretty decent crosses and ah li was showing GNK+ and shuaiji that he's capable of drawing and holding off defenders. Mingxian and Amin rarely put a foot wrong in the central midfield and in my opinion, they were playing as though that area was their grandfather's. wingbacks Chan and Louis was putting in some very exciting wing play and made several manacing crosses that should haf been converted if not for the conservative approach that the strikers adopt. Defence was pushed up till just across the midfield line, effectively reducing the playing field by half, and allow the midfielders to run less.
GNK+ had a corner and the ball was floated to the centre of the penalty area. Derek, in a rare lapse of concentration, allowed normal looking GNK to sneak in to tap the ball in. Probably the team could haf done better warning each other about running men. 2-0 GNK+
Almost immediately after the restart, shuaiji won a freekick at the left wing position. Diyar sent a quick ball into the penalty box goalwards, ala Alonso vs Derby. Derek was on hand to make up for his previous lapse of concentration and diverted the ball into goal with a glancing header. Good goal. 2-1.
Match became more tensed as shuaiji surged forward and flooded the attacking area with manpower, effectively locking GNK+ in the last third of the field. like sharks smelling blood, the wounded tigers played out their best to get the equalizing goal. Ball flying out of the playing area did not break shuaiji's momentum. Thank you Amin for being spiderman and retrieving the ball for us. :) Several penalty claims were turned down. At least 2 clear penalties were denied, with GNK+ using all kinds of dirty tricks to contain shuaiji's play, especially with regards to challenging for headers.
Things turned ugly when GNK+ purposely delayed time as they try to hold on to their much threatened 1 goal lead. Angry words were exchanged. The goal looks as though it's going to come, but it never happened. Ref blew the final whistle, and more angry words followed. GNK+ showing disrespect to the ref. Ref remark was that GNK+ was unprofessional and do not deserve to play football. Wonderful. Hit the nail on the head.

Match analysis: Definitely a much improved performance from last game.
Siong did a good job introducing higher level defending to us, I'm sure the defence can grow by playing together more often and familiarising with the tactics that are much more efficient. Chan showed that previous game's performance was one-off and resumed his role as a good supporting right back. Louis was looking more and more comfortable as a defender, and his attacking play was exhilarating to watch sometimes.
Midfield was the star of today's game. Diyar put in a superb debut with a good assist and some mazy dribbling that made a fool of the opponents. Probably was overawed by the physical play, but adapted well as the match wore on. Derek BURNS their defence. Amin was playing as a reliable midfielder and lessened the workload of the ever fierce Beng. Hongkeat did very well and his crossing resembles that of a certain DB7.
Ah li probably could have gotten 2 goals under his belt if not for some luck on GNK+ side. Did well and looks like he can only be better. Touch-ball-den-goal, soon?
Engsiang paid 8 dollars to stand under the sun.
Lost probably more to weather than to quality.

Personal view: I hope we can stick with this team for a long time to come. We can only get better.

Man of the Match: Diyar. Showed us beautiful football ala C.Ron. Drawing defenders to him and making them look stupid. Debuted with an assist.
Chan is worth a mention too with some tireless runs and accurate tackling.

Run of the Match: Derek. Tap and raced (read: BURNED) past 2 GNK+. Heng traffic police not around.

kiam

Play simple. Formation.

We will forever be full of problems up front if we think that the current mode of defense has no problem. Defense and offense go hand in hand and the integration of both is important to have a potent attack while having a stable defense. We will have to look at the missing link between the two... PUSHING UP!

We cannot look at individual player and say that the defense is generally problem free. On the field, skill is nothing compared to positioning and the positional discipline necessary to maintain it. As with some of our previous matches, the defense camped in to keep out ball after ball, but without pushing up, the opponents strolled their way into our danger zone again and again. The whole situation resembles us being in the wrong end of a training session. It is only a matter of time before we collapse. Moreover, midfielders are rendered merely extra defenders and any counterattack is blunted by the lack of manpower (or rather, men with enough energy left) upfront to launch any meaningful counter attack.

Attackers can certainly rely on being more ferocious to pounce on mistakes made by defenders to score. However, that cannot be the only way to score. Ask ourselves: When is the last time we scored a goal through a meaningful buildup? We cannot rely on plain clearances and slack defending in order to score - we are much more than that.

The defense have to push up and provide support, especially in the area of making any spilled ball in the midfield ours, rather than letting the opponents stroll into our park again.

We are also missing out on the simpler things
>Fighting for first ball. Pushing up without doing so is equivalent to constructing a shuttle- run circuit for the defenders. up...down...up...down and no result. Use your balls and brains together when doing so.
>Shouting "MAN ON" or "TURN". Mark that empty man! Intimidate your opponents! Talk Talk Talk!
>Finding space. This is closely linked to your mental strength. Ask for the ball in a meaningful position. Don't think of clearing the ball up all the time just to get that small rest or because you are too tired to think. The opponents will most likely regroup and attack again anyway. Sweat now or die later.
>Covering for one another. Tiring, but i assure you when you play a good game, the tireness will just go away. Made a mistake? Continue to cover! Don't "oei' don't "wha lau" until the ball is out of play. Then we can all whalau together.
>Personal Competency. Fitness ah!!! Where did you go?!
>Teamwork. Listen to each other's (constructive) suggestions. particularly when defending... please listen to goalkeeper even though he is eng siang or benny. He sees everything. Don't argue over small things like we never aged since we first met.

AJS

Fears of A Defender

1) Revolving door. - Defenders standing too close to a strong striker tends to suffer this fate.

2) Knock downs and a fast striker/winger. - Centre midfield did a good job holding the ball and earns an opportunity to pick out a proper pass. Takes aim at big striker(not necessarily fast, but damn strong), big striker heads ball/shields defender, causing him to lose challenge, and speedy gonzalez gets it... hope he miss or the keeper do miracle.

3) 2 on 1 - He shoots? He dribble? He pass?

4) Cocky strikers - a certain cockiness makes the defender rage.. and he commits easily.

5) Dirty tricks - 'nuff said.

Not much a defender fears, but hopefully shuaiji strikers read this and gain some ideas for the next match.

p.s. no defender fears a striker who can shoot hard.
p.p.s. a dirty striker gets dirty treatment. especially from shuai ji defenders.

NEW FORMATION.... Part deux

in fact shuaiji has little problems in defence. The biggest problem lies in attack. In the last match the attackers held up so few balls that most of the match was played by our center mids and defenders. I'm even starting to miss mark's presence, at least in him we had someone upfront to fight for the ball (sometimes too literally) unlike in street football where a striker does not always have to score the goals, field football depends insanely much on strikers, even if they can't score goals, at least to hold up balls.

I base my comments solely on the statistics of the last few matches. Beng has been the ONLY person scoring the goals. And more often than not, doing it all by himself , even being assisted by defenders rather than midfielders. We've all seen what Ali is capable of but we've not seen that kind of finishing for many many matches. Its evident that Ali gotta start playing as support striker instead.. beng shifting to lead the attack, zak and ang(hopefully zak plays) in mid and after seeing winger after winger fail in that position, that seriously shuaiji needn't play with any wingers at all.. 2 center mids with two wide-center mids (not wings) with fullbacks pusing the wings..
thats all i have to say...

pls pls pls comment.....
i wanna know wad u think

New Formation??

Our last game saw some impressive performance within our own group of limited talents. Seems like some of us played better in their unfamiliar position, namely, siong and kiam.

Juz some of my personal thoughts, i felt tt wif siong playing at the centre midfield position its giving us much more possession in terms of first ball, 50-50 chance, linking of play wif our defence. As for kiam, he put up a solid centre back performace tt day. Precise tackling and non-hesitant clearance. So im tinking maybe we should give them a chance. Niao can fit in the left back position, though lack of techniques, his persistent realli manage to silence tt small gnk. Law can take over his bro position for the moment aft his acceptable performance tt day, quite sometime since he last understood how to play a position well.

Any suggestions, supports, modifications, unhappiness?? Pls contribute. Ur feedbacks are most welcome and definitely play an important role in moulding shuaiji into a better team.

lots of love

New Formation??

Shuaiji 2 Gian Nen Kias 4

Finally. The long-awaited match. But tis isnt going to be our official commissioning match for the new jersey. Reasons being: firstly, not everyone is present. Secondly, got cocksters come in fancy socks and one in his sexy shorts. And finally, we lost the match.

Description on the opponents:
Gian Nen Kias (gnk), juz by their colour it has alrdy sent shivers down some of the shuaijis. Big ones are strong, small ones are fast, enough to pawn us.

Match report:
Shuaiji kicked off. Before everyone was settled, the first action took placed. Bigger gnk sent a non-threatening through ball down shuaijis' right. Chan, always so dependable somehow allowed the ball to go past him. Shuaijis sensed trouble. Small gnk blessed wif his natural inherited pace from his kind sprinted for the ball. It juz seemed like the ball was definitly destined for the back of the net. Suddenly, Kiam, playing out of his usual position, appeared from nowhere like how spiderman always do, flew in wif a crunching professional tackle. Right at the edge of the penalty box. BEEPP!! A yellow card was flashed. Kiam acknowledged with a grin on his face. Satisfied wif tis winning trophy.

But trouble dint end there. Again gnk pushed down shuaiji's right wif yet another through ball. The gnk opponent took no second thought and made a rather weak shot. But fortune is not wif shuaji. The ball harmlessly went past our recalled-back no.1 Engsiang, goal-bounded. All hopes seemed to be dashed. Suddenly, once again, superhero Kiam appeared. Knowing that he was the final hope, knowing that everyone's dream was pinned on him, knowing that he juz got to kick it out and be a hero again, he disappoint.
Kicked the ball right against the left upright, richocet it off him into the own net. Even spiderman loses his power someday. He was forgiven. Gnk 1 shuaiji 0.

Tensions were high in the shuaiji team. Players upfront were too rigid. Wingers were not doing much running or supporting much in defending. The centre mids were tired n overwhelmed by the speed of the gnk. Shuaijis were juz falling apart. Holding all together was our superhero. No one else was doing the right thing. Good thing gnk were veri complacent. Either that or their stamina were running low too. Not much actions for the rest of the first half.

Second half took off wif the gnk starting the ball. Once again, before everyone was settled, action tooked place. And once more action came from the gnk left. Neat passing btw two of them and off came the shot. Travelling wif enough height and velocity, a threatening one. Hearts paused as all looked on the ball. Keeper, Eng siang, one who is always weak wif high ball, not to mentioned high ball wif speed, somehow pulled off some magic from his gloves and palmed the ball. Wonderful save!! But..."TIANG!!!" Eng siang was brought back to earth. Before he could react, the ball was put into the net wif an audacious shot by gnk. Somehow he was left alone in the box, unnoticed though its daytime. No high fives for Engsiang for that great save. Heads were down. Dejection was spelled on all those in reds.

The third time the same procedure took place. Shuaiji kicked off again. Midfield were battling harder tis time round. Shuaiji knew that they juz got to get a goal back but passes were not string more than 5times. The reflections from gnks' teeth suggested that complacency had got over their head.

And maybe because of this the gnk keeper was feeling bored and thus decided to have more time on the ball. However tis was spotted by Beng. Like a cheetah preying on his prey, Beng edged forward slowly. Suddenly a burst of energy pushed Beng forward on the ball. Panicking, gnk keeper tried to kick the ball away. But all was too late, wif a flick off the boot of Beng, he hooked the ball over the flapping hands of the keeper before kicking the ball into the net. 2-1, 1 more to go. Perserverance, determination. Beliefs that a comeback was within reached.

Shuaijis began to feel the urgency. Everyone was pushing harder and fighting for balls. Siong, the engine room of the team, was exhausting every bit of his energy. Even Louis was pushing the attacks, winning tackles. For once, action was on the other side of the field. A gap was spotted by Kiam, a through ball was sent, Ah Li latched onto the ball. 1-on-1. Unfortunately before he could pull the triggle, a nudge from behind by one gnk knocked Ah Li off his balanced. The shot went narrowly past the post. Good effort, could have been better. But this signalled a positive sign for Shuaijis. It seemed like a draw was no longer a dream.

Before long, all hopes were dashed. Every money betted on Shuaiji to pull off a draw was lost. A mix-up in the defensive line. Everything happened very quickly, confusion were everywhere. The ball was at the back of the net for the third time. 3-1.

Time was running out, energy was running low, concentrations were lapsing. Limited with juz one sub, Shuaijis knew that they could onli start to absorb all the bombarments from gnk. Shots after shots were fired. Either they went wide, or they were saved or blocked off. Attacking chances for Shuaiji became very limited. Then this rare chance came. A high through ball was sent from the middle. A run was made behind the gnk defenders. An hesitating keeper vs a determined striker. Shuaiji pulled another goal back. 3-2. A consolation goal.

However everything dint end at that scoreline. A freekick was given at the edge of the box. Gnk simply wanted to take advantage of this last opportunity to broaden the scoreline. A shot was went through Shuaijis wall, goal bound. Eng Siang once again pulled off a remarkable save,once again it was not enough, once again the ball rebounded off the cross bar, once again the ball fell to a gnk who went unnoticed in the bright sunlight, and finally once again buried the ball into the net.

Final whistle was blown as Beng made a final shot from the kickoff. 4-2, gnk won. Not an auspicious start with the auspicious colour.

Though Shuaiji ended up on the losing side of the card, some positive areas were observed. Left back Kiam played an ou xiang centre back role. Crunching tackles, wonderful anticipations. Law did realatively better in that role this time round. Biggest surprise would be Eng Siang. Someone who managed to pull off many saves which seemed impossible for him before today. Secret training is it???

However many areas of improvement needed. Someone got to revised a fitness plan for Chan. Commitment level got to increase in most players. Tackles got to be harder. Communications need to be improved too.

Man of the match. I nominate myself but i vote for Kiam. For his crunching bone breaking tackles. Im glad his on my side.

I wrote this!

"Personally, I had always been fascinated by the prospects of being thrown right into a foreign culture and having to find out all about my new surroundings. With a scholarship pegging me to a localized career till a least my early thirties, a student exchange programme presents itself a unique chance to experience overseas living while I am still in the prime of my years. In fact, the developed network of partner universities which NUS had established over the years was a main draw for me to join NUS. Studying overseas will allow me to experience independent living amidst a setting of a completely foreign culture. With limited opportunities to venture beyond Singapore since young, a student exchange will serve as the perfect path for me to broaden my horizons. A different studying methodology, alien cultural practices - and perhaps even imposing climatic conditions will be several things I can experience abroad. As a fervent follower of European soccer, it is nothing short of a dream to immerse oneself into a soccer-crazy society."

And I got this!

Happy Birthday to 1/2 the Defence.

12/7 is special. Let me be the first to wish our 2 defenders (DM, DR) a very happy birthday. Here's a song for you two. :D



kiam

Shuaiji 3- 1 Los Lobos

Foreword: ( i had a nice match not being owned by duck rice, i'll try to be neutral ok?)



Rematch time!! is that a moan i hear???must have come from moaner ming xian. Anyways, i apologize dear opponents if i forget who made that shot from you team or did that brilliant run.

kiam din play, we looked stronger... with murmurs of weakest link being brandied around


Haohao started instead of law, wif junsiong the sole defender with JJ as defensive mid and the three pronged attacked of hao hao, beng and Ali as target man/boy.



the match kicked off and shuaiji looked less comfortable as the last time, with two attempts on their goals in quick succession, slack marking by the returning mids causing panic but their attackers safely marshalled by petr Chan.



then shuaiji began dominating with some slick passing play, however the 1st goal came about by a moment of magic from Ali. Receiving the ball on the left from JJ, he brought the ball forward, did a body feint followed by stepover to fake the defender, cut in and drill a bottom near post shot.. Goal, socre shuaiji 1 opponents nil. Ali was gasping for air by then, prob as the movement was abit too vigorous for him. Shortly, something happened which was surely to be the highlight of the game. Ali received the ball from midfield, played it to Ang, whom calmly shifted it to the right to beng, beng sensing an opening played a 1-2 wif JJ, then a square pass left the defence completely open and Hao hao had only the keeper to beat and cap off what was a the most Splendid move of attacking teamwork i have seen for a very very long time, but contrived to miss the goal completely with shot..... What a pity!!!



Chan threw a long ball thru to ali, ali headed it back to the mids, and after a short scramble, jj passed the ball to beng, and beng did a quick release to law and shootoh!! he went for the top corner but the ball was saved by the goali. Then came the second chance in quick succession where yet another lofted ball was played from ali to law, law ran with the ball and the opponent tackled him but instead the ball flew up , law muscled his way past two defenders and was thru on goal yet again, this time trying to loft the keeper on the left but the keeper kept his wits and swatted the ball away.



Never play the ball in front of beng. Yet tis caution was nv passed to their defender whom blessed wif poor footwork brought the ball towards beng. Being an opportunist, beng seized his chance, tackled the defender cleanly, took the ball to his left, nudged off the body challenge wif his unimpressive upper body, BANG!!! 2-0 shuaiji!! From nothing to something, tts wat he is capable of.



SOme moments of passing and movement were absolutly superb from SJ, its been a long time since such decisive and fluid soccer had been played. The first half drew its end.



Second half on came Hao Hao again. Play resumed and the opponents were'nt relly troubling us, their keeper sent long balls to the coners which were easily dealt with by Ang or the strikers simply din have the 1st touch to capitalize on them.



then a terrible play by shuaiji, during a corner no one picked up Los Lobos's attacker and the score suddenly became 2-1... game on. Slack marking by Hao hao and Ali led to it, chan certainly din deserve to let in that goal, whom until then was so superb we'd really thought if he had been a few (many) inches taller, he'd be the most magnificent keeper in south-east-asia at least!

moments later, ah Law created a chance for Ali with a quick pass to him right smack in their penalty area, all Ali cld manage was a lame tap, he even had time to tap it with both his feet...LOL


JJ too had his moments of glory, draggin their right defender, who by all means was not having a good game, into a tackle but JJ stopped and did a Zidane-esque pirouette over their no 5 who was the most impressive player from the opposition, suddenly opening up tonnes of space for a shot, but instead he choose a pass and was easily cut out.soon after on the right, he did a piece of stunning play, drawing 2 defenders and managing to back flick a wonderful ball to law,only to see law wasting the glorious chance of adding misery to the opposition.



then the last goal of the match, chan, with unerring delivery hit the ball high and long, law incredibly won the header and directed it towards beng. But was easily intercepted by the defender. Unfortunately the ball was cleared towards Hao hao whom made no mistake tis time wif his lob. Opportunist beng sense it again. As though it came off the training field, beng lob the ball over the flapping arms of the opposing on-coming keeper. All eyes locked on the goal bound ball, GOAL!!! Precision equiped wif class, no disappointment for the fans. Hao hao celebrated the goal as though he has won the epl, yet onli a faint smile can be spotted on beng.



This time their number 5 was the grumpy one. Given that he was injured when he came on , he really winced everytime he accidentally got tapped on his ankles. Well none of his tackles were cynical or malicious, some really hurt,( kicked my thighs dude, still hurting as i write this) and if a ref was there he's probably get alot of fouls, though i salute you for ur passion and seriously u were easily the best player of ur team, i suggest u let someone else do ur tackling and keep to ur playmaking.....

Man of the match: Ok sheesh, i shall not nominate myself juz cos i wrote this, in fairness there were no standout performers and they key players played up to thier potential and the supporting players looked good erm....... supporting.. so guess this award goes to the team!!

Miss of the match (MoM): This award goes to Ahli, who manages to completely screw the ball with the keeper at his mercy, following a pass from law, therefore i nominate this to myself.

moan:Probably the most fantas-orgas-eros-mic bulid-up play shuaiji did in a match and it had to receive such a poor finish..... bummer dude!!! maybe he enjoys assisting more

P.S: i hate being politically correct. :(

The Mighty Shuaidenamoji 2- Light BLues 2

Sunday 1 july 2007..

Shuaiji prepares for a match to regain some confidence after a humilliating 4-0 loss to SIM varsity team. However i assure you our opponents are no whipping boys.Pressed to our max and pushed to our limits , A draw was probably the best results as both teams were equally matched in many areas.

MATCH REPORT:

With our fullbacks back after a one match hiatus , zak installed back in center mid and (thankfully) a new and upcoming goalkeeper by the name of Benny. This was quite evidently the most balanced and talented shuaiji side to take to the field in the past few matches. Louis partnered Zak in the middle of midfield with JJ and kim Liang playing slightly ahead of them. The formation took on a different look in midfield , a wingless formation, with key player (the mean and nasty) Ah Beng as a target man and Ah li supporting. A change in formation suggested by Louis and approved by manager Guang zu for the match.It started surprisingly well as louis and zak held their own in midfield and the defence line pushing up as a collective unit. It was austondingly organized. SHuaiji atatcked well with long balls to beng to hold up waiting for the mid to support.

Howeevr halfway thru the 1st half, louis's naiveity playing in the center showed as he gave away dangerous fouls outside the penalty area. ( i was owned by the Duck rice ok.) The Light Blues summoned a viciously swerving free kick which slightly defected of beng's head and into the goal. The keeper had no chance.

Shuaiji finds themselves behind yet again.Their careless foul paid to its fullest extent. Then JJ, finding the wings not his favoured position changed wif law and shuaiji reverted to a winger formation. pressing hard once again, shuaiji laboured and dominated in search for a equalizer in the 1st half. From the left, law floated a free kick and beng brilliantly backheeled towards Ali. Ali had a chance for a sweet volley as the pass caught the defender totally unawaresbut contrived to scuff the ball. once again another wasted chance.

The central defence held up superbly, knowing their height disadvantage, they played a high line everytime we were in posession. Gerald and junsiong had hardly put a foot wrong the whole day and were unfortunate to find themselves behind. Complains throughout the team began ringing yet again of junjie's procrasination in his release of the ball and louis's positioning on the wing. surely an area which has to be ironed out soon in the next few matches.

The at the 40th minute mark, someone sent a brilliant ball Ali right in front of the goal and unfortunately his toepoke flew over the bar. Beng also had another chance nearing the end when a spectacular cross from the right was missed completely. Shuaiji clearly dominating play in the latter part of the 1st half... showing some intent for what was to come in the second.

2nd half. Law, suffering the misery of volunteering to sub himself out due to the conditions of his bowels made way for ah niao. the second half started less promisingly as shuaiji were on the backfoot as the opponents had two shots on target, on coming from a hearder resulting from a corner and a shot from one of theier attackers. Brilliant keeping from new keeper Benny had the shuaiji backline squirming in delight, this was surely the best performance by a keeper since farmer's import Liew Shi Xiong. seemingly goal bound shots were acrobatically denied by what seemed like grace from ballerinas with ogre proportions.

Foul throws dominated the day as the count probably reached double figures from shuaiji, cheaply giving away posession. with time ticking away and the attack desperate for a goal, kiam and beng manufactured wat seemed like a well worked set-piece. Brilliantly floated into the twelve yard box, beng broke the offside trap with only the keeper to beat. and with a sweet loft, ITS A GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! ala luis boa morte's last goal for west ham, it was brilliant finishing by what was until then, a misfiring shuaiji forward line.

The substitutions came, JJ for kim liang, whom for all his hard work and hard running, found himself neutralized by the opponent's left back. The opponents had rolling subs and they brought on an extremely speedy winger , exploiting shuaiji's lack of speed on the left. with good results too, as from a corner, within minutes of the equalizer, the defence failed to clear the ball in the penalty area, with substitute Bang one of the main culprits, the score was yet again shuaiji trailing 2-1.

with passion burning brightly in their bellies, shuaiji and their new invited players din drop their heads and pressed on for another equalizer. yet again the Kiam Beng combination almost paid dividence. another floated ball, dis time beng made a decoy run as Gearld made a lung busting run from defence to meet the ball, sadly his shot cld only make the side netting.

With time slowly ticking away. shuaiji abandoned the defence and the defenders, for all their combined height of 6 meters began searching for that equalizer. and with 5 minutes to go, Beng summoned what was to be a fantastic day in attack with a deft header, once again beating the offside trap and it was a GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!.

Today did not see much of the NY connection as Ah Li yet again cldn't find composure on his shots despite being in glorious positions. surely another area which needs improvement.

and with a few unpromising attacks to follow, the game soon came to and end. The result, despite pleasing neither team, was probably a fair result in terms of posession and ability.Surely a promising match for shuaiji, with the unearthing a brilliant keeper and zak's growing dominance in midfield and beng's stunning return of 2 goals. Ang and his motley crew of the "SHUAIJI BACK FOUR" once again proving size does not matter..

Man of the match: A toss up between Beng and Benny.If Benny shows up
for the next few matches and performs just a brilliantly, its needless to say,It should be him. But wif Beng Excelling ever so prominently in the role of target man after being so inspired by "Drogba". The award goes to him ( IF IT REALLY MEANS THAT MUCH TO U) Ang deserves special mention too, pity u're a defender..... strikers get all the glory. :s

Moan of the match: Personally it was the duck rice, Even the toilet bowl at AI din want to
swallow it... ( a word of advice to all, never eat a heavy meal 30 minutes
before a match, especially if ur position requires alot of running.)

Special mention: Bang, despite his blunder for the goal, provided touches nothing short of
exquisite..


surely kiam's 2 assist puts him up there for the MOM award. No? -kiam

a hat-trick of goals accompanied with yet another world peace-keeping performace. MOM no doubt belongs to Beng - lots of love

Hotel setup

Generally, 3-stars hotel costing app $50 a night (double room, such that a 4n stay with breakfast cost 100 for each pax) are aplenty along a Patong Beach, the main recreational zone in Phuket.

On the other hand, there are 2-stars hotel with the same location and inclusion of daily breakfast cost only app 30 per night, such that lodging bills for each for each pax will be around 60.

http://www.asiarooms.com/thailand/phuket/patong_beach_lodge.html

(Do browse http://www.asiarooms.com/ to for better hotels. Reviews about this site are largely on the positive side, with many citing low prices and friendly services.)

The location is just as nice as the 3, 4 stars juggernauts, minus the seaview and coupled with the fact that these are just small, family-run establishments. For the budget-conscious while otherwise perfectly mighty shuaidonameji, we will most probably end up here.

A probable breakdown of the entire trip:

air tix: 150

hotel: 60

airport transfer: 20

So it is a total of 230 for going there and making it back, doing nothing except eating breakfast.

SERIOUS HELP NEEDED: Please submit personal details to Beng! You are already late when you read this! A Shuaiji who misses their underground Muay Thai fight is an angry Shuaiji.

Damn Angry

Hotel options

Amanpuri hotel Phuket: 5stars hotel onli 34dollars per nite
Description: location seems to be quite cock up if not price wont be tt cheap for so many stars. worth a try.

Gay Hotel Hostal Puerta Del Sol Phuket: 34dollars per nite
Description:"Nice place only for the more nice people. In the heart of gay area of Patong Beach-PHUKET. "
any takers?

Baan Boa Resort: 41dollars per nite
Description: 4stars resort. gallery pics seems pretty not bad. location was described to be pretty desirable. pretty good deal

Coconut village: 53dollars per nite
Description: from the pic seems like every rooom has a balcony. surrounding is pretty and i like the name.

so far these all i haf come out wif. feel free to throw in inputs or vote for any of the above.

"sa-wa-di-kap!" - lots of love

Phuket anyone??

jetstarasia offer air tix to phuket at *$8 (ie. return will be *$16)
so wat say all of u??
proposed date of travel: ^02-06 aug

estimated for airfare n hotel approx $350 (realli estimate coz no search is done on hotel pricing)

*not inclusive of airport taxes which will sum up to $149 for return tix
^if wish to come back on sunday price for airfare will haf to top another $30

UPDATE : We can get budget hotels without compromising a good location. The entire trip with the budget tickets, airport transfer, double room accomodation and breakfast will cost only about 270.

For Phuket amateurs, the hotels we are looking at sits in the heart of Patong Beach. In the day it is a swee swee beach, while there are urban settlements inland within walk-able distances. Hotels here also provide shuttle services to everywhere else, though I doubt that they are free. At night, the place transform into a busy market filled with bars and shops. Vice are cordoned off in a place call Bangla Rd. Filled with sex and drugs, the only thing lacking is the certainty that every human with neh-nehs are females.

Interested so far: Li, Beng, Niao, Kiam, Law, and Myself
Final note: This is KL multiply by 2! We must confirm ASAP(preferably by 29th june night) or the 8 dollar tickets will be gone.

also: 1 singapore dollar = 20bahts now. Even with the coup and the unrest in the South, the baht actually appreciated against our Yusof Ishak notes.

"Nothing is wrong except that my boots are disintegrating. Please play on."

Hey Guys,

We are seeing a lot of cases where our boots just disintegrated. Law, WenGuang and Eng Siang had all fallen victim to this "chui"-ing.

As a simple rule of the thumb, DO NOT SUN YOUR BOOTS.

The leather/synthetic polymer is like our skin, which, under the impact of UV rays, becomes damaged and turns brittle. While our skin recovers through our various food intake (And in ah law's case, skincare products and suntan lotions), our boots have no means of regeneration.

A good way to dry your boots will be to stuff it with newspapers and pressing it. This method is damn troublesome but your boots will dry faster than you think. Alternatively, just air your boots if you can afford the time.

For boots storage, try to kiwi (black or neutral) them as they may become too dry and subsequently turn brittle. I had never try this method before but a few friends of mine approves of its effectiveness.

Remember why your beloved boots chui, and do not let them die in vain.

Match Review: Mr. Lim

This is the match as Mr. Lim saw it.

"No la. Lost 4 - 0. Ah Beng miss penalty" - siong.

Opponents you heng I not available.

Kiam

conversation btwn Beng and ahli
Beng: li u wan take anot

The Useless No11

Finally i Blogged in this so called SHUAJI's Blog just becoz opponents have blog that makes all my team mates's butt itchy to go n set up one.. Thus leading to me blogging here! Here i go... We are not good, not star team, not skillful but we r UNITED tat y we win MATCHES.. get it? dun nvm.. i dun wish to say anymore becoz u simply cant understand simple english.. Go back to kindergarden k?

Reason y i am no 11 becoz i insisted on have that.. Not only tat becoz they simply dun have left winger tat explains y i do not get kick out of my first team place not becoz i am good.. haha but now jialat, got replacement liao.. so i guess i becoz subtitution already.. they wan me is not to add depth like what other soccer teams did but to add up to the amount of players.. LOL put it in a simple way, now i am only ball watcher n ball picker.. y?? becoz i am in sub den i got the chance to see ball tat y ball watcher.. my team like to kick the ball out of the field so often that calculator cant add them up.. den being the sub, i got nthing to do so help them pick up ball tat y ball picker..

Packaged price at Golden Mile worked out to be $270 per pax while a DIY trip consisting of the oldest hotel in Genting, reduced comfort on the return trip, minus free breakfast provided by agencies, and some havoc plan that may not work out - costs just $170!!!

So we are saving $100 for a bit less organisation and comfort. But we get the "CHAOTIC FACTOR" that I WOULD PAY FOR!!!

COST BREAKDOWN

Transport to Genting: $40

Options:Save up to $5 going to Puduraya before heading up the Genting, (BUT bypassing the city easily saves us half a day.) KotaRaya is good place to take the bus too, saving up to half of what we need to pay for this ride. But the uncertainty factor is too high (Remember PUDURAYA COCK UP) and we may lose more if we miss the check-in timing.

Hotel at Genting: Theme Park Hotel ($69 per night, $35 per pax for 2 N)

The hotel is creaky old but can fit 4 person in a room. Facilities rumoured to be damn lost-form but the price is right. This type of Hotel encourages people to wake up early and enjoy the full day outside before coming back.

Perfect.

Trip down to KL: APP $5

Just a trip down. An internet page about 4 yrs old claims the price to be 7.50 RM, so the approximation works along that line.

Hotel at KL: Ancasa Hotel ($74 per pax 2N, double room)

This is the neat hotel which we relieved ourselves in when waiting at Puduraya 3 years ago. It is 4 stars and thus compare to Midah, we are paying just $10/pax for an extra star. The location happens to be much much more convenient than Midah.

AND WE GET FREAKING BREAKFAST! We can chat all we want with horny chefs and the reception over broken English, coffee and ham.

PS: We all miss the "88, 188" guy and kweys but this hotel is a better choice.

Options: Staying in a triple bed room will save each NUS/NTU/SMU student about $10. Add 30 dollars to Zhng our way into a 4.5-star hotel right in the heart of KLCC. (See Impiana KLCC for instance)
(For those that don't know, midah and ancasa are in the heart of chinatown.)

ALTERNATIVELY

Midah - This is the secluded Midah we love. Perched on a mini-plateau and shielded from the vice of KL with a vacant Police Station, it features a horny chinese chef who had most probably moved on from some STDs "across-the-road" (ACTUAL QUOTATION), a Brothel reception boy with broken English and smoky eyes, and a host of hostesses with very little in their wardrobe. Will need to cross 1 roundabout and a couple of sleazy streets featuring some really nasty Kweys to get to civilisation. (Really really nasty aunties...nothing short of an abomination to every sense organ and more.)

WE ALL CAST A VOTE OVER THIS IF NECESSARY K?

TRIP HOME: $12

The 25 RM ride we took the last time back. A SVIP Coach (26 seater) costs approximately 40RM. May upgarde if we have the extra cash at the end of the day.

Mysterious SAJC Player (no 0)

Mysterious SAJC Player (no 0)

Why number 0?
Reason 1: That's the average mileage I clock per match over all these years in Shuaiji. Not that I run slow (in fact I'm one of the reason why Law says he's third fastest), but on the contrary, you see, I have extreme good foresight. I don't have to run alot but still manage to get the goals in. People say I play like RVN, but I'll say he's copying my style.
Reason 2: Throughout my stint in Shuaiji, I'd one time scored so much goals, that the computer used to store my database records was unable to record this large figure. Before any administrator could remedify the mistake, the computer reset my score to 0. That was another reason why Windows Vista now is 64 bits.
Reason 3: World peace.

Why mysterious SAJC player?
Why the moniker? Some said it was due to the rumor of a child prodigy playing for SAJC a few years back. Some said it was the style: unparalleled, unseen, unheard, that remains mysterious today. Some said it was because of a sunday court soccer match pre-match commentary cock-up. While others even said the 'S' actually stood for 'super', and thus really represents "Super AJC" player. But.. we'll never know.

Recently I played soccer without much passion. Cos when you are at the top of the game, there's little reason for you to carry on anymore. Guess I'll go back to get that third Phd I dropped half way a few years back while I was serving in the army.

Match on 1st July

place still confirming

time is tentaively set at 1500 - 1700

against my nus friend team. age around 24 years old

Gerald Law (no 14)

I'm shuaiji's most fanatic spectator so shuaiji rewards me by letting me watch the game beside AngSiong ... but because i'm too slow to siam balls when people shoot and i get hit, especially on the head, ball lands nicely for shuaiji to counterattack and score.
I've spent all these years buying self help books in football, so that one day, just one day i might be able to play in the mighty shuaidenamoji first team.

Hello Sarah.







Sarah Ch(u)a(n), yet.

Niao (18)

Im ah niao in the team, sadly people forgotten abt my real name. I can run very fast but sadly mostly without the ball under my feet.
people say im very perserverence but lately i feel a bit soft.
I have controlvesial playing skills(think messi) and controversia hairstyle(think beckham).
excel in the very creative NO LOOK pass and NO LOOK NO PASS pass and WALKOVERS and JUMPOVERS that can leave the opposing team gasping for air in their shame and amazement and my teammates totally stun .

ANG (No 1)

I'm the Team undisputed NO.1 GK.
Maybe no one like to play the role, but who cares i'm still the NO.1.
I'm known for Thunder Legs but the ball dun fly far...
I had been dropped from several games. Recently, i had been called up again for duty between the post, hope it continues. GOOD to be back.

Mark G T(NO. 12)

Hi everybody. Erm i didn know you guyshad a blog. As said by most, i am the only indian and or other race in theis illustrious group. THey have actually helped me get my ass through JC and into Uni. A good group of guys that cant be found elsewhere. great times in AI playing football in the basketball court.

ME myself i am the controversial striker alongside Louis law. Yorke and Cole.

I am the angry one. Full of nonsense. Sometimes they drive me up the wall with their crap. But i am still proud to belong to this group.

I have been attached for ten months now and counting. the rest god knows whats up with them, forever studying which would explain why their grades are always better than mine. Well thats bout it i guess

Fierce looking kuai l*n Kia

no. 0(mysterious SA player) looks like the bday boy

The Celestials.

Jackie was once our number 22. But he go become police.



Mickey was our previous Number 1. His big ears covers lots of ground, but he got only 8 fingers.

At Mrs Ang's birthday party (Happy 21st). We were very young looking.

Louis Law!
*a note to opponents, chan is dyslexic.



Can you imagine our honour to be sitting next to the mercurial SAJC SUPERSTAR?

The Yandaos are the darkests of passion.

chan (No. 6)

boo?, standing at a majestic, towering 165cm, i have been dubbed the van der sar of my team. petr cech? buffon? neh, i am simply an average chan hailing from a simple frugal town in singapore called ang mo kio.

i was really good during my younger years, and i mean really good, i really mean it, but i dont understand why as the years goes by, i became slower and less skilful, to put it simply, i became useless and i really mean useless, i really really mean it.

so, if you see me as keeper, please be afraid, very very afraid, for i am your nemesis

but, if you see me as a outfield player, it is your lucky sunday, because, i very easily get burned

thank you for your attention, once again, i am the right defender player wearing no. 6

p.s. sarah is my dear

Ang Siong (no 2)

I am ang jun siong, the centre back.
I suck at dota and English.
Loves Laksa.

Ming Xian (No 19)

Eh, im not good with words but they say have to write so i have to oblige.
Im only a mediocre player for the team, they tell me to play where i will play where.
Not much of a say in the team, maybe coz of my shy and quiet nature.
I like to do things by myself like reading, listening to music, sometimes whipping a meal for my family. I hate wars, quarrels and fights.
My greatest wish is WORLD PEACE. Lots of love!!!

P.S: I dun like ferrari, i prefer suzuki.
