someone's complaining that i don't update my blog.. really sorry about that, just don't have the time. season has kicked off.. and i'm having difficulties catching up with my work. wish all this is over soon.

pj hockey girls played against sajc on thursday. we lost 1-0. the team was quite upset, because we could have played much better. personally, it was an especially disapponting match for me. it's not that i made any major boo-boos, but i underperformed... BIG TIME! =(

apparently, i(right mid-field) wasn't communicating enough with jocelyn(the centre mid-field).. hence there weren't enough chances for us to play along the right side because we couldn't link up our passes. even if the ball did manage to come to our side.. my passes were like trash(one even went straight to the opponent), if not i wasn't able to stop the ball properly etc. it was really horrible!

ohh... during the 1st half, my retarded skirt gave me so much problems lah. urghh.. it's quite hard to explain here but try to bear with me. well, our skirts are seriously the ugliest and most useless part of our uniform. for starters, it's not even a proper skirt, it's just a piece of cloth we wrap around our waist. it's held by a strap of valcro and a buckle thingy. unfortunately for us.. the size was wrong and it was too small, so for most of us.. the skirt is too tight(thus also too short). blah blah blah.. i got distracted by my stupid skirt because the buckle thingy came off like 15 minutes into the game.. (thanks man!) sigh... our jersey this year is super hideous! we look more like cheerleaders than hockey players.

when playing defense during the 1st half, everyone kept telling me to mark my player in the D area.. (ok, this one was partly my fault) i WAS marking my player.. but i kept some distance between us. it slipped my mind that we were suppose to do tight-marking in the top D.. so everybody was screaming at me to "MARK YOUR MAN!!". faz(our goalie), ain(right back), ms ho(coach) from the sideline and even tiff(my senior) who was standing with the spectators.. it was as though they planned it all, each of them took turns to tell me the same thing. i got really frustrated because i didn't understand what's wrong lah.. sigh.

i think i really performed below ms ho's expectations. think she wanted alot more from me. during stretching, she kept looking at me even though she was talking to the whole team. it wasn't just eye contact can.. she literally stood in front of me, stared into my eyes, telling it in my face when the team was standing in a circle. gosh...! she was saying something about "you've got to give it your all today" when she stood in front of me.. imagine how awkward is that can! everyone was looking. but that's not the worst yet... after that, ms ho did it again. but the 2nd time wasn't that obvious, she just stood near me and said "kristy, now's your time to shine".. she had the kind of sinister smile.. so i sort of just smiled back at her.. but in my heart i was like "WHAT CRAP!!" goodness.. does she know how pressurizing that sounds? well, back to the game. so in the end, she took me out after about 15 minutes into the second half and i didn't get to play the rest of it. =((

monday's our game against acjc.. God please help us beat them! i'm trying to visualise the final score of 3-0!! ahhhhh..... i didn't know tournament would be so hard!!! oh.. the game on monday is 3pm at delta sports complex.. if you support pj, please do come! if not.. don't let me catch you cheering for acjc when i'm playing. thanks...
