Day 8: Frisbee and Masquerade Ball!

3.7.08

Today they planned frisbee at 8am!!! but of course we woke up extra early, had a good breakfast, went there to warm up and strategise and stuff by 8... and the bloody event started at 8.30...n774845435_3478738_6366

Walao.. they haven't even marked the fields!!!

Vs. NSW. well NSW had some experience, and i think most of their members have at least practiced as long as us. The team really surprised me by pulling out all the stops. which was amazing considering we've never been on a field together AT ALL before this. umm.. NSW was a good warm up, but i kinda expected better. one funny thing was the opening pull i did, which someone tried to stop with his chest (as a sign of machoness), and collapsed after that HAHAHAHA! we beat them 6-1!!

Vs. WA. They. Sucked. If we lost to them i would be so malu.. I remember one funny thing they said. final score? 6-2

"Do what we practised!"

"We never practised anything!!"

lol

Arjun was a great runner, he can't throw under pressure yet though

Winnie and Amanda were to dump (throw backwards) the disc if they couldn't pass forward. but winnie did some amazing blocks, and Amanda actually ran the whole field for warm up!

Sher Reen had a bit more stamina, so she really ran and blocked!

Eugene had awesome passes. His presence in midfield really helpful. Work on those long throws and he'll be unstoppable.

Kar How didn't mess up at the important throws. and he really surprised me with his stamina! WOW!

Felix did one awesome pro catch and helped with lots of scores!. hmm i think hes really suited for midfield

Jason didn't need to out do himself, he WAS already good! as a defender he and sun chuan saved our asses many times over.

Sun Chuan was SUPERB. hes one hell of a defender and handler. Without him we could not have won.

Me? Umm based on what sun chuan said, we could not have won victoria if i didn't take on the handler. plus as captain i have to go one on one with the other captains, so i guess i if i failed, my whole team dies.

This is the NSW team and us:

Vs. Victoria. Our toughest match yet. The scoring was on average 1 every 5 minutes! and we really went the extra mile for this. Sorry to the handler whose foot i stomped! with such a close and tense game, any single mistake would have cost us. but WE WON 3-1!!!!

Vs. Queensland. This one we died. They were absolutely one level above. Their captain Johan was a star Intec player. plus their girls even dived for a point!!! but i'm really proud of our team nevertheless. score 1-6.

SILVER!!!!! i was so proud i belanja the whole team the powerade =)) WOOTS!

and then going back to shower, sleep.

When i woke up, the rest had already gone to see rugby.

DSC03035 which was super crazy cos there were injuries everywhere. thanks god i'm playing frisbee instead.

and to top it all, i got lost on the way back! kanasai the stupid map was soo tiny i couldn't read any place names.

that night was the masquerade ball! hmm i think it was so-so only. it was just an excuse to hand out prizes in a glamour way and end MASCA i guess.
