I feel quietly satisfied with the soccer game today though I know I shouldn't. At least part of the one goal was my fault, and it would be unbecoming of a keeper to be satisfied with anything less than a draw. To those who said "it's alright", no, its not. The important thing is to learn from it, that's all.

On to the match proper. The M4s were huge. I mean, huge. Like Ray / Maurice's height with twice the width. These two particular giants had me on my toes everytime they had the ball no matter how far away cos I was just gan jiong. And it paid off too, since the M4s fired in a lot of crosses, which fortunately I and my superb back 4 managed to pick off without too much incident. That said, I think the game against the M1s really boosted my confidence. I felt as though no high ball could outbounce me hahah...

But there was the odd moment of heart pounding excitement too. I will remember the one-on-one for life, where handball skills and reflexes in the short range encounter stood me in good stead. But credit must go to Wenjie for clearing the subsequent loose ball.

Am happy that I got the opportunity to play, and that my confidence has improved ever since the M1 match. See! Shows that with proper training, even the shortest people can be halfway decent goalkeepers. Vindicates me totally from last year's horrendous encounter with KE soccer. But still need to work on the kicking. My legs don't obey the rest of my body.

Also, my first singing (in sections) experience today! Very fun, though the bass section were pretty novice and all of us couldn't sight read =P but yea very fun! Looking forward to more carolling practs

Oh well its been a long day, I'm tired and there's rubor and tumor on my knees where the ground got in the way. Shall sing myself to sleep heh
