the slide

woot. today played soccer against YCK Chapel @ Kovan field.

We scored within the first 10 minutes or something.. this guy Chris, timo's colleague, he kinda solo run from their third of the pitch and volleyed a strong shot into the far post. woot!

i didn't play the whole of the first third :( watching from the sidelines and supporting.

Then i was put in as right back in the 2nd third. (oh yea we played 3 thirds. not 2 halves like normal soccer. each third 20 minutes) Basically my job was pretty slack cos the uncle at my side he very lazy just walk around. So i just manmark him and if got ball come just intercept cos he not say very fast or tall or strong or anything. Made some miskicks though :s

Then i made the save of the match. hahhaa k no it's not the save ofthe match but was still quite nice. I made a crucial sliding tackle which prevented what would most likely have been a goal =) after the match they all 'wa alan nice slide man wa that was quite perfect' then i pai seh paiseh just smile and keep quiet la but actually very happy =D hahha. So now can blog SO MUST TELL YOU ABOUT IT. muahaha.


Basically this was the position when their breakthrough came:

I was playing right back, and was watching in case the midfielder burst down. Then dan loh central defence la. corn is the goalie.




Then came a pass from their midfield to their striker, and everyone expected dan loh to clear or something, but i think he fumbled and the bad guy stole the ball and broke through:



(Dan loh is like fallen or too slow to catch up) The Bad guy was one on one with corn! (forgot to draw corn in this picture) . So i had no choice i started sprinting towards him.




CHIONG AH! Must catch him! otherwise open shot and easy goal!




I managed to catch up cos after his first touch which got past danloh, his 2nd touch was lighter cos i think he looked up to see where he was. then the 3rd touch was to control, and shoot on 4th.
So when he was doing that i was sprinting with all my might, and my aim was to slide and block his shot by sliding in front of the ball. But when i saw him pull back to shoot after his 3rd touch, i realised cannot already, so have so slide then. So i slid and kinda poked the ball out of position.
Thus i forced him to take an awkward shot which was both weak and off target (think he aiming far post where confirm score) which corn comfortably saved.


Woohoo. =) hahaha. so happy . In the end we drew though, they scored a STUPID goal which i can't really say much cos i never run back defend. (they put me as right midfielder in the last third.. not smart cos my ball control not say v good. but can play i happy already ha.) What happened was they shot from the left side and goalie made a good save.. then everyone yay yay congratulate him.
Then the rebound went to a guy who was dashing into the penalty box and he just fired the ball into the corner of the goal when everyone still celebrating -_-


Yup yup. so highlight of my match was the slide. got quite heated in the last third when they anyhow call offside, then gid loh got angry then scold them. then he push some guy down. hahaha. hot headed him.

yup, final score, 1-1. no rematch please, basketball next time. basketball > soccer ^_^

my army medical checkup

yoyo. ok time to blog about my army medical checkup :) they didnt say that it was to be secret so i hope i'm not infringing on any laws later they arrest me or something. :S

anyway. the whole building is called Singapore Defence Towers or something like that. It's just one section of that compound that's called CMPB (Central Manpower Base). So at first when i reach there i was like :S hmm. but found my way there in the end.

it's like playing some station games lidat. cos the medical checkup is broken up into 6 stations, then each station got like instructions and a task. They are urine test, blood test(x2), dental test, eyesight test, xray, height and weight, sometestwhichtheysticksuctioncupsonyou, cough test.

Ok i know that's not 6 haha. errr. i dunno leh the checklist put 6.

Anyway i think those army people who work there sure have alot of funny stories to tell.. cos some guys are really quite dumb haha.

Like firstly the urine test.. the guys goes 'Please take one -gestures to a container of these paper strips- and urine on the colours. The toilet is over there' (urine isn't a verb btw. )
I think testing for drugs or diabetes or something. Like one part of the strip has colours and if your pee has some chemicals they'll change to a particular colour. So like supposed to show him the strip la. the colours.
Then i see some people they come out and practically thrust the strip(soaked with pee) in his face it's damn funny. he'll like reel back and woaaa ok thanks you can throw it away.

THEN the stupid blood test. Basically poke you in the vein in your arm to take a tube of your blood. then my Medical Officer was this middleaged man. Ok not middleaged more like old man. Then i previously give blood before ma so i not scared of it. But this old man is siao. Instead of aiming the needle and slowly inserting it into your vein.
He kinda like.. ready.. aim.. FIRE. Like jabbed the thing into me. haha. i guess that's how it's done in army. then he didnt leave it down so it was kinda pulling my skin up when it was still in me.
btw some guy fainted when it was his turn for blood test :p ha

the other tests.. all normal.

Oh then after all that there's like this 2 hour IQ test. THe questions all make you think alot.. like they give you four shapes then there's some pattern la. then what is the next shape that follows the pattern and you have to choose. Then got arithmetic and algebra and physics questions also. :s it's 10 sections, 30 questions or so each section. And each section is timed.
I didnt finish the first 2-3 sections on time.. cos no clock no timer so how i know sia. Then the rest i chiong faster and could finish the rest. But some really guess man dunno the answer.


ha hope i dont fail it. later i kena classified as low IQ or something then cannot get good vocation :S ahhh.
