ADTP Futsal Tournament

Today was the futsal tournament hosted by American Degree Transfer Program. Woke up around 7am and went to Sun U around 9.10am. Met up with Zhi Kang and the rest of the guys. It was supposed to start at 9am but as usual, got delays and what not. So i think it actually started around 45 mins later. The weather was nice with very light rain and the sun was not shining which made it the perfect weather. Our first game was against a team which had all Africans in them, which meant the guys in that team was hella strong. It was a tough game. Our second game of the group stage was a team which had some Chinese guys. Won that game easily, thrashing their sorry asses 5-2. It was in this game that i scored one of the best goals in my life. I took the ball from my own half, dribbled down the right side with a defender hot on my heels, then when he just levelled me, i cut the ball back but we both slipped and he was the first one to get up and win the ball but i tackled the ball and won it. Then another defender was rushing back to defend and i faked a dummy that made it look like i was gonna run forward with the ball. Needless to say, the defender went on his way towards his own goal thinking i was goin to run with the ball. Instead, i dragged the ball to the left and he followed me, but i dragged it a bit to the left and powerfully shot, the ball whistling from the left side of the pitch, past the goalkeeper and into the lower right hand corner of the goal. What a brilliant goal. *little bit admiring myself* hohhohohohohoho. Anyways, we won the game 5-2, which meant we advanced to the knockout stages. Got a long ass break after that coz our next game was at 2pm. So headed to the main campus, still in my football boots. It was weird walking around the main campus with soccer shoes and yes, i got a couple of stares, mostly from leng luis (but that's normal). I saw Ian at ssd, alone and lonely :( hahahaha Ian..you dumbface. We lost our knockout round game probably got something to do with the referee in charge. The guy gave the other team a throw in when it was so obvious it was to my team. And it happened right infront of him! Damn, hahahaha nobody could believe it. Even our opponents were making fun of it. After that huge error which led to the goal (all of the team were standing there protesting while the guy put the ball in the net), none of us could be bothered to move their asses hahahahha. So it was almost like walking in the pitch but still, we scored about 3 or 4 goals. I don't even remember the final score. Must have been about 6-4. After the game, rushed home and shower, ate.
