This is a joint blog shared by 2 lazy pple - Ciping & Wilbur, who wishes to use each other to maintain the blog. Sadly, Ciping is the more inactive one and Wilbur does most of the work in the end. Feel free to post comments on the tag-board, it feels good to know pple are actually reading and responding to your posts. It gives motivation to write more.
We didn't think Vj would lose. No, not after we beat them 3-0 just a few weeks ago.
The kayak team went together, after training, a short walk from kallang to support our guys. (Ahh... at least we're starting to show more team spirit.)
The 1st half was boring, I was close to sleeping..
Then came the 2nd half, the 1st goal, by Zul, their lone striker.
Our hearts dropped for that moment.. suddenly the possiblity of losing started to sink in.
We got all fired up, cheering on the team with just 15 minutes left.. We gave them our loudest cheers. And finally, hope reappeared with a penalty.
1 - 1.
The whistle blew. Extra time. Still no goal.
And so it came to our most dreaded penalty shoot-out ( the only time we lost in the finals was due to a penalty shoot out too)
Vj scored. Mj scored. Vj missed, over the bar. Mj scored. Vj scored. Mj scored. Vj scored. Mj scored. Vj scored..
Then our goal keeper saved the last crucial ball.
Hope returned again. Suddenly, it seemed as if we could come back again n win it all.
But noo... they had to shoot it over the bar again, always aiming for the corner of the net.
Euphoria.
I mean, among the Mj people.
For VJ, the reality of losing sank in. Sad, solemn faces. Perhaps like how Chelsea lost to liverpool, man u lost to arsenal.
Finally.... the cruel truth sank in:
We might not get our half / full day.
I guess this teaches us never to anticipate good things before they arrive, even though how likely it may seem. So.. I won't anticipate the principal will be kind, gracious and follow the original plan of giving us a half / full day.
