Friendly with Caperio Taby FC

the day turned into night at 2+pm. feels weird!

we had a friendly with Caperio Taby FC at 7pm (1am Singapore time). lost 8-1 (5-1, 3-0, 0-0).

had to travel 2 hours from where we're staying. the arena was pretty decent, boards were set up by them, we even had a changing room to ourselves. and... a black T-shirt with Caperio Taby FC vs Singapore printed for all the players. really took us by surprise!

------game------
we were playing defence most of the time in period 1, our opponents killed us with their accuracy and swift passes. some of us made silly mistakes, myself inclusive (had one own goal! =.='). we tried our chances at goal whenever we could, but it didn't last long. jill scored that for us!

period 2 was much better! we were more organized and we had more control of the play this time, because we knew their strength and we read them better.

our goal for this period was to maintain at least a 0-0 scoreline and i'm proud to say that we met it! that was our best period for the game! we had a chance to play power-play when a foul was committed by them. i think we did great!

------personal thoughts------
the best part at the end of it was that we played well as the period goes. no doubt we picked up slow, at least we know what it'd be like at the actual game. pre-game conditions would be different.

i'm very thankful for the support i had whenever i needed during the game.
this game, i don't know what went through me, i definitely wasn't myself and i wasn't playing my game. boooo =( but one good thing was, as each period goes, my confidence level got better. i'm glad i tried my chances at goal during power play and extremely relieved that i did not screw up *phew. i felt really really bad especially towards widya during the first period. ughhh. 1 goal was conceded because i blocked her view, another was the own goal in attempt to stop a blind side pass. *screams!

it's my first time leading the team and i made a boo-boo at the start. haha. players' entrance, i stood at the wrong side of the bench. ahhhhhhh. i was so embarassed, and stella was laughing by my side. if i could dig a hole and put my head in, i would! *shy.

i'm thankful to have jill, louise and even karen to help me with that. i've got so much more to learn!

anyway, as we stood in front of the spectators to sing our national anthem, i saw a small group of people waving our national flag! isn't it awesome to have support from our fellow singaporeans overseas? =D

anyway, we have so much more to give! by then when WFC starts, i'm very certain team singapore would be all ready and play like never before!

-----------------

we reached our camp site around 12 midnight, i was sooooo hungry. =S

hehe, karen is like the chef for my room..
serena: "i'm hungryy.."
karen: "what you want to eat?"
smelly, ruyi, wywy: "i want to drink something.."
karen: "what you want to drink, i make for u.."

bathed in freezing cold water (colder than the water i can get in singapore without the heater turned on!). screams! first time ever. ran out of warm water by the time ruyi, smelly and wywy have showered. ahhhhhhh!
