A MAGICAL NIGHT

26 September - Friday
Event: Inter-GSEL Mini Olympics (Floorball)

What a night to remember - night of the underdogs!

We came out of nowhere to emerge 2nd in the floorball event :)
How much more magical can that get???
The most unbelievable part is we went into the competition expecting to get thrashed in the 1st round and we could all happily head home. We even contemplated disbanding the FB team to pump in more players for the basketball event but thank God we didn't. It was just a night of expecting the unexpected :)

Without the magical team, there would be no magical night to relish about. Everyone of us just played to our best, regardless of our levels of proficiencies (FYI: a few are non-sporty pple and 1st time touching FB sticks!) and how amazingly did we gel as a team and simply powered our way through the various qualifying rounds.

This magical team was cool as cucumber in every game but we left with style and victory and of course, lots of memories to hold on to! And of course we were all beaming with RADIANCE!

Charting the magically glorious moments

1. Met at 6pm to gather and change. Fathie (below) all decked in an intimidating attire -attitude tee and dragon berms! Haha...if there was a "Best attired" award for the night, I would vote for him!

2. 6.45pm: Watch the BB team played. They lost but nonetheless put up a solid fight as well! Equally proud of them :)

3. 7.15pm : FB's team 1st victory .....OUR OPPONENT WALKED OVER! So we qualified for the next round (Top 8). Quiet and really silent victory. We won with real cool style! :)

4. 7.20pm : Had a full dinner (30mins before our game...how power we can be yah). We returned and still feeling no pressure. See..we stilll looked so composed! We even arranged to go Macs for dessert after the match! Who knows...

5. 8pm : Had time to practice so we grabbed out sticks and that was the first time we played together. No warm up or practice sessions before that! But we had fun :)

6. 8.20pm : Played our 1st match. Aida shot in our 1st goal! YEAH!

7. 8.30PM : Embraced our 1st victory. Spirits soared. Still shocked over our feat but geared up for next round. By now..we were panting! 3 of my teammates just broke fast and it was tough on them..but THEY STILL PLAYED LIKE CHAMPIONS!


8. 8.50PM : Played the quater final round. Tougher match. But we won. Yours truly scored the 1st penalty shoot in. Haha amazingly fluked!

9. 9pm : Played the semi-finals round. Feeling more tired. Anyhow whacked ball alr. But we pressed on and played harder! Again no goals scored by either team...until yours truly scored penalty again! Fluke? Not for the 2nd time right? hahahaha....we were seriously amused by all that took place!

10. 9.10pm : Played another match (don't know what qualifying round this is). Fathie scored our 4th goal. How? Magically! Haha..we gave a long shot to our goal side and no defence covering the area..Fathie ran and ran and SCORED! :)


11. 9.30pm : Played the finals. Though contended with our position but we still wanted to give our bestest shot. Unfortunately this time, yours truly did not get the penalty shot through. Missed by a tiny whiny bit! Hit the side....but who cares! We ARE 2ND!!!!




12. 10pm: Took a group shot with all the other winning teams (both basketball and floorball)

13. 10.15pm: $$$$$$$$$ moment! For getting 2nd, we got $150 for our project! Signing the acknowledgement form that we will be getting our kaching! Hehhee..yeah but its not about the money at the end of the day.


THE MAGIC TEAM!

Thank you dudes and dudettes for the wonderful time! I will never ever forget this night. The laughter, fight on court and of course the friendship! Don't think anyone of us will ever forget wat took place. In Aida's words, we can make a movie out of this experience. One sure comic relief!

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
