Fire on an Oil Field
Today was Youth Games Day organised by the Chinese Youth Board of the Anglican Diocese. Suppose to be at AHS by 8.30am. So early. THkfully, Daniel got car and hitch-hiked. Reached there and was like pretty crowded. Our youths are competing in the Street Soccer and Captain's Ball! Started off with worship, followed by a message by a pastor. Den the game began with the street soccer. Pretty intensive. Only six teams particpated. We won every match and eventually we reached the final and we took the Champion. Well done boys and a girl (kuan ren)! Den next was Captain's Ball. Played 3 matches. Lost 2 and drew 1. SOunds bad and demoralising but honestly, the team did a great job considering we nvr had played together as a team. I managed to play the 3rd match which we eventually lost. I guess I was too over passionate for the game. I was becoming a bit worked up with every pass we lost and every shot the opposition score! And becoz I had a pretty good knowledge of playing Captain's Ball, I simply couldn't fit into the passive style our team was playing. Dun get me wrong. I'm not complaining that the team was playing lousy. I think it's very much me lah! I'm one person who can be very easy going with any and everything but sport. I'm way very serious when playing sports and it tends to make me very hostile. I guess I have to really learn to manage this aspects of my emotion. Passion with no control is like setting a fire on an oil field. It does nothing but destroy. I must learn to enjoy playing games at different level of competitiveness! So if in any way, i have been harsh or hostile to any of you have played with me, pls accept my sincerestt apologies. But den again, i think if we train for Captain's Ball rite, we shd be able to win the Trophy next year! SO are you all keen to employ me as the coach????
