IHC
Friday, August 1, 2008
I signed up for three events for IHC:
1) Tennis
2) Table tennis
3) Floorball
Tennis I didn't even get to play because maybe I'm not good enough. Turns out MT got first so maybe the team was really very imba so I'm fine with that.
Table tennis MT got first again, but I know that I was definitely good enough for the team, which I unfortunately did not make it into. This cool recre table tennis guy from China come and take a slot just because he hails from a lineage of pro table tennis players i.e. China players = pro table tennis players. Anyway he got his ass handed to him, everyone said he sucked, and he was using some godlike bat. MT still won, but it's no thanks to him. Most importantly, he took away my free trophy T_T Damn pissed.
Floorball we got into the quarterfinals, which I fully expected to lose because we were playing against a team of hockers like Ned and Andre (Christian's brother). Then turns out first minute we score 2 goals liao :/ Final score was like 10-2. Total gayness. Then next up was semifinals against Guo Wei and Guan Chua, who owned our team 5-1 during group stages. This time we won 4-3 because of Ray and Andrew imbaness. They seriously just totally shut down Guo Wei that game. He didn't even get to hold the ball for long before getting tackled and getting counter-attacked. Guan Chua was still owning, but he's Guan Chua :/ No choice one.
Finals was against BW LOL. AGAINST LEECH'S TEAM.
We were talking in the toilet before floorball quarterfinals started while changing that we surely lose for our quarterfinal games already. He was up against Faris' team while I was up against Ned's team, which were very tough fixtures. Then we met in the finals :/
In the finals I didn't get to touch the ball because Ray and Andrew had to be given the chance to play for the full thing so they could play their best. They worked damn well together, and seriously played with a hell lot of passion. Seriously I think no one else could have taken Ray or Andrew's position and played as well as them. Anyway, this one damn guilty to admit, but I got free trophy :/ Played only during quarters and semis, finals didn't even get a chance to touch the ball.
To BW's credit, they played very well even if their goals were quite tyco - or at least 2 of them. Very entertaining match which went into overtime because the score was tied at full time.
We would have lost if not for a sick angle shot which Ray got in at the last second. Seriously, from my view he looked like he was behind the goal line, but he still managed to hit it in with supreme accuracy lol.
Then Andrew scored the winning goal in the top right corner. Chance well taken.
Credits also go to Lihua for being quite a good blocker, managing to halt the ball in many occasions and clear from dangerous situations.
In essence, I got lucky this time :/
ivan fed the world.
