The Last Game

Now that I’m working, I gain extra weight and extra fat. Got less time to exercise (tis is just an excuse). But the gud thing is my office mates are all active sportsmen. They do a lot of activities such as playing badminton, futsal, and some other sports. I joined them once in a while to loosen some muscle and removing extra fat. Lately I have to concentrate on both my work and my PhD preparations. So I got occupied by these 2 and got lesser time to exercise. I haven’t played anything with these guys for the past 2 months and so last month they asked me to play futsal, a frenly match between the bachelor and the married team. Both of the teams are from my very own faculty. This is the first time in history that they conducted a frenly match among ourselves, usually we play against other departments and other faculties. Some may say that is not fair. But to be frank the married guys are our main player and the best that we have for our main team. So the next paragraph was taken from the official UMP memo published the day after.


Kuantan, 24 April 07: Team Power menerima kekalahan yang memalukan dalam sejarah hidup berkeluarga mereka apabila dibelasah 5-13 oleh Team Sabun di Padang Futsal MPK, malam tadi. Kata-kata cemuhan dan cacian daripada Team Power sebelum perlawanan malam tadi telah dijawab oleh Team Sabun tepat pada waktunya. Pujian harus diberikan kepada Team Sabun yang diketuai oleh Asman Gonzalez, yang menjanjikan persembahan terbaik penuh bersemangat dan tidak gerun dengan sorakan penyokong-penyokong Team Power (isteri & anak-anak).

Team Power yang memulakan sepak mula tetapi Team Sabun pantas mengatur serangan walaupun agak tenggelam pada awal perlawanan. Dengan strategi menghantar bola tinggi ke kawasan lawan, jelas menimbulkan masalah kepada pertahanan Team Power yang dibarisi Idris & The Gangs.
Dengan memenangi pertarungan bahagian tengah, Team Sabun melancarkan serangan pantas terutama di sebelah kiri yang dikawal Suhaimi dan Fadzil yang kepenatan. Kehebatan Team Sabun malam tadi banyak dibantu dengan ketangkasan serta keimanan yang tinggi penjaga golnya, Leman Seaman yang banyak berborak kosong dengan pertahanan yang tak takut mati seperti Noram Ferdinand, Amir Campbell dan Syamsul Maldini. Ditambah pula dengan pemain tengah yang kreatif lagi inovatif seperti Yuhyi Hagreaves, Muzamir Giggs dan Mizi Carrick. Kehebatan penyerang Fendi totti dan Asman Gonzalez seperti gandingan Maradonna dan Pele amat memikat hati pengunjung-pengunjung gerai makan di sebelah jalan.
Kekecewaan Team Power jelas terserlah yang nyata gagal menyaingi ketangkasan Team Sabun. Apa-apa pun pujian harus diberikan kepada komitmen mereka walaupun sibuk menguruskan keluarga yang tercinta tiap-tiap hari. CINTAILAH ZAMAN BUJANG ANDA.........

So tis is probably the last game I will be joining b4 I set off for Cardiff. I’m surely going to miss these guys.
