jeonsoccer



i would highly suggest you watch finish this video clip before you carry on reading what I am going to blog about below.

with great honour, i was invited by planet football to a private close door futbol session on tuesday late night with e world greatest futbol freestyle, jeon kwon aka JK from korea. i couldn't believe i would have e rare opportunity to stand by his side in real let alone play futbol with him! as in ive been following his futbol videos so closely all these while and now i am playing with him at e cage. our very first conversation was he asking me if i am a japanese as he stared at e "JFA" on my jersey! probably that explained why he didnt give me any chance during e futsal session coming up.

he's kind of a quiet guy but you could see his passion for e game and e effort he has put in to master all e tricks. basically in short, he's extraordinary amazing. after some tricks sharing, together with his manager and a couple of local freestylers, we had an amazing game of our lifes!

well, i think e futsal session needs no detailed write-out. i am e monkey throughout e game although i did well enough to score 1 goal against JK's team! e futsal game was no ordinary game mind you. we could easily get pass one marker from another with simple passing but e world best and e other freestylers had other idea - they would get pass you with their trickery footworks. no direct running but "panna"! i was "panna" aka "lobang" quite a handful of times. during e game, i used whatever way and posture i ever know to defend against e trickeries however it seems like "panna" was meant to cut e traditional defending off and humilated you on e pitch! whenever each successful "panna" was executed, there would be a cheer from e team. in fact, that's what they were trying to do, putting e ball into e net was secondary.

one of e best moves of e night was when i was defending JK from e attack. before i could figure out what his legs were going to do, he has flipped up e ball up to my chest, over my sight, across my 1.78m height body! and that very moment, e entire world seems to have stopped while i motionlessly watch e ball slowly floated over and eventually out of my vision.... cheers followed. i was beaten by JK. it was expected but i couldnt describe e real-time feeling when that moment happened merely just 3 seconds thingy. amazing.

never going to leave e night without a photo taken with JK. i think right after this session, my admiration of this freestyler has increased, going to follow his videos even more closely from now on. in e meantime, gonna master more trickeries before e next such invitation comes again!

raining


raining again....

when i can hear rain in e night, i cant help but start wondering where on earth in singapore will flood again! joanne was saying singapore should have holiday for raining day, because its so dangerous to go out there, what if we got struck by a falling tree?

haha... this joannesy-quote made my morning though.

so how is singapore going to react to e constant flood? last night, MM Lee quoted saying there wont be total solution to flooding we just have to be prepared. oh well, when you hear these kind of statements, i cant help but blame e authority for e lapse of duty in ensuring safety when disaster hit. but from e mouth of MM Lee, its kind of what to do.. MM Lee already said so... cant be help, lan lan lor.....

to be fair, i understand that e amount of rain is huge for e month of june and july. does it mean that e world is coming to e end? that could be beyond any singaporean's imagination, what about this - is singapore sinking soon? hoohoo.. i remember came across this article few years back reporting about a huge icebergh which"broke free" from either e south or north pole, floating towards brazil. and when this iceberg eventually melted, singapore will be half-sunk! how true is that, i really dont know but hope that it wont happen, really. anyway can you imagine how HUGE this iceberg is when we say sinapore will SINK when e iceberg eventually melted?

ok, rainy day. time to relax one corner. recovering from my flu, better drink more water.

deserved

a beggar cant be a chooser. today ive been reminded once again how miserable life can be in a fully automated realistic life. for all you wanted to put a full-stop, you realised it has reached a point where a full-stop is not applicable, and the further and deeper you go before you realizing, ego is wounded.

nobody to be blamed except myself. self-disappointment leads to frustration. i nearly lost control of my temper. for years ive never lose my temper liked what i've done, and e fact was e pin for my grenade was pulled by nobody else but me. despite me working real hard since i was slapped with e fact, i couldnt help but accepted tonnes of nasty sarcasm. i feel bad but i can do nothing. ironically, my reaction towards this issue reminds me of my dad's. i've always wanted to be different from him but no matter how much effort i've put in to avoid his shadow, i felt that im going through what he has been. i wouldnt want that.

world cup is reaching e end, im glad that my life will be back to normal.
