After looking for so long, I still couldn't find my Lee Hom posterrrrrr!



Though my Jason Mraz's is hardly in shape, it still brings back good memories.

And for the record, we're just about to sign up for the annual Hainan Cup which is on the 1st of August.

Heh, I'm not paying any attention at all to what he said.

I've played once before in the cup last year, if you readers still remembers... I have it written in this post.

At that time, we were like a bunch of mercenaries hired by Alur Akar Seafood FC. Only to realize that we were to be replaced by several other senior players, there were a few of us that got kicked out of the team because of it. There's no telling how pissed we were, and especially Soo Jun Hoe, who sat on the bench throughout the entire match.


No more Uncle Phua as our coach, that's it.

Last year we've had a discussion before, that we would make a team of our own. Without anyone to manage the team but the captain.

This was the goal that gave After7 FC the lead.

At first, I was pretty skeptical that we were still here for the Cup last year. But I am pretty sure at that time that I am not going to play under him anymore, that will be the last of it.



So this year, we're piling up all of our mates to join the comp. Without a doubt it will tough for us, we lack the experience in field soccer and matches played in total. To make things worse, we were short of players... as of now, 3 players. Half of the team will be Orange Junior FC's while the other half are those who've been playing with us since last year, during our training sessions.

This Thursday will be the last of our futsal game (hopefully) as we try to brush it aside and focus on football instead. With 4 weeks remaining before the actually Cup begin, we hope to polish everything up. From team formations to corner kick takers.

I told them something yesterday.



"It is either we win the Cup, or we lose horribly."





Actually it is pretty true. I'm starting to realize that most of us are really talented youngers but we were underrated because of how much the public pays attention to young players, especially Chinese. But I believe that Orange Junior FC's players are going to be one of the most talked players right after the comp.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen most of the Chinese footballers in Kuantan but if there are other teams joining in from outside of Kuantan, it could pose a serious problem.

So, boys if you are reading this... let's finish where we stopped last year. The fourth place that we finished last will never satiate our hunger for the trophy. This is our last comp together before the entire team breaks apart, some for studies while some going out of town to work.


What I regret most is that my injury is limiting my actions on the field. Last year, my freekicks were one of the most unstoppable shots around, bending and dipping in all directions. Since I twisted my ankle pretty badly that time, I couldn't even kick a ball as far as 30 metres away. The weight of the ball is killing my foot.


But rest assured, I will give it all my best. Even if I might end up limping for the rest of the year :o

Orange Junior / United FC, let's do it like we always do.





PS: Been reading your blog again, I realized that I've been neglecting the importance of my words and actions a lot lately. If you ever, needed someone to talk to... I am always around.
