so tomorrow's the big day....

tmr is the day that we play our first game as a newly formed team..... haha.... my main goal of the day is not to fuck up... i don't wanna start our new campaign on a bad note.... hrm.... i think that i have secured my starting position... but i'm not totally 100% sure...

Guo Feng has really improved on his passing speed and accuracy... haha.... well anyway.... if any one of us get injured at least Jamal knows that he'll have another SH on standby....

at least that is better than this year's A div season.... joel was the only person in the J2 batch that knew how to play scrumhalf.... he just grabbed me aside one day and told me the basics of "scrumhalfing".... i had only a week to prepare and train to be the replacement SH.... haha...

i was too tired last tues to blog... we finished training at like about 8++..... we really couldn't see the ball at all.... haha... i could hardly see myself... not cuz i'm black but cuz it was really dark... hehe.... but i think that it was one of our most constructive training sessions for this new batch..... most of the trainings that we had were very loose and quite undisciplined....

i don't know what the others think but i'm used to a certain level of discipline during training... prob cuz of my TKD instructor..... and altho i haven't always been the most disciplined player on the field i really think that more respect shd be given to the coach, captain and bao xin.... when anyone of these three ppl are talking i don't think that there shd be any chatter amongst the players and all eyes and ears shd be focused on the speaker.....

hrm.. hopefully we'll develop into more disciplined players as we progress... cuz discipline as a team unit is essential on the field.... if a player doesn't concentrate and does not listen to the commands frm the three decision makers then he becomes the weakest link and therefore a liability to the team.... and i don't think that 14 well coordinated members of the team shd lose due to one weak link in the chain.... that's what i think and i know that i will try and be an example for others to follow.... words without action is not really worth anything.... what i say i will do my best to follow.... i'm not perfect but everyone's aim in life is to be as close to perfect as possible...

isn't it?
