M1 touch rugby
yesterday i had touch rug competition at YCK stadium
my very first touch rugby competition!!!
i'm so excited!!!!!!
we donned on our jerseys, bright bright yellow
boot up
and ready to go
when we reached there, we saw our other competitors
oooohs
now, the butterflies are starting to flutter
we just sat at the grandstand, resting..took some pics
soon we gotta do our warm ups
did some short runs, high knees, pop passes, defence work and mental conditioning
i felt we were so ready to take on our first opponent, ACS(int).
the game began.
we did our usual strategy of 3 punching.
the other team were given a penalty, i took the ball, ran as fast as i could, ran to the left where a huge gap was, ran passed a girl. i could score this. so i ran even faster. from the corner of my eye i could see 2 more girls after me, but one fell. i was at the try-line. down goes the ball. TRY!
that was exhilarating!!! felt soooo good!! whooo hooo:):)
but soon we got complacent, letting them score 2 easy tries
but we fought back and scored 2 more by xiao wei and kelly!
beeep and the game was over!
next up, a match against Singapore Poly.
we kept in mind not to be complacent and went all out
there was a big gap at my left once again, i got the ball from one of my teammates, and ran through tat gap. i was through and scored!yipeee
our team defended well as SP wasn given a chance to score after that.
we were through to the semi finals
some of the j1 touch ruggers came to give their support
thanks girls!!!
you guys didn just came to help out but also boost our morale! love ya'll
we're all pretty cross with the referees
they were so bias AGAINST us!
like we did something wrong against them or something..
they kept blocking our way in the game
and were more leniant tothe other team.
but we still won those games even with or withour their help
next we had a match with Jurong JC
xiao wei scored!! haha
she put down the ball at the try line and the jjc ppl said tat she didn touch the line
she was sooo fuming mad and started shouting at the ref to say she did out the ball down, it is just tat the ball rolled off the mark.
ref confirmed it was a try!! yays!! ahaha i even say thank you to the ref! ahaha
valerie scored too, but with a bit of price to come with it
her earring out tugged at and cost her to not only lose her earring but bled a bit.
but her sacrifice was well worth it!
WE'RE THROUGH TO THE FINALS!
our last game was against SA.
we told ourselves that this was our last and final game and tat we're got to win it. so that we can drink from that CUP!
we just got from a game tat the seniors played which was also against sa.
we wanted so badly to win the game against sa, not only for ourselves, but also for the seniors.
we defended, moving up on them as they came towards us.
when it was our turn to attack, we did our 3 punches
but the freakin ref kept saying we're off mark and issued a penalty
ugghhh
tat was harsh!
xiao wei and i yelled at the ref for the penalty.
he didn even warn us about us not backing and straight away issued a penalty.
i think another ref saw it and quickly came to help us out a bit.
but that penalty allowed sa to score as we were still offside.
that dealt a blow to our morale a lil bit
but we fought on
then, cheryl came towards my side from the centre.
she sidestepped, and ran towards the left.
i reacted but not fast enough, chased after her with all the might i could. but i was unable to gain ground to touch her.
she scored.
there was little time left and soon the game was over
we lost.
i was really disappointed.. i thought this could be the chance to really get back at all the bias referees, that were so unfair to us throughout the whole competition, and to win for the seniors.
the j2 and j1s gathered together ... and shared how we felt..
tears rolled among us as this would be the seniors last competition.
we went to receive our medals !
cool... my very first medal in jc!
we took crazy pics with those medals.(soon to be uploaded)
the seniors were so funny with the ideas they came up with
i guess i'm gonna miss them.
they were really gr8t ppl to be with, and was one of the reasons why i joined touch.
how will training be like without them?
i dunno... we're on our own now.
after today..
i havn even more of the determination to work even harder..
to improve as a team
so that the next competition comes
we'll all be many notches higher to take on any school that comes our way! , Love Ashley Thursday, May 31, 2007
Pirates Of the Caribbean
met up with timothy, glenn, weixun, danielle and kenneth to watch POTC the world's end.
yingxuan was already with me as wehad tuition earlier
the ticketing was so problematic!
a lot of the theatres had their tics sold out
in the end we had to watch a later one and we sat right in front! omg
necks strained...and the screen was so near that i felt dizzy..
luckily my glasses came to the rescue
some caucasian boy kept rolling on the ground and running across the movie threatre...irritating but funny
ohh ya...ppl!! rmb to stay till the end...
today...went SHOPPING!!
yes!!! like finally in a long time
i bought quite a lot of tops and accessories!!
super stoked right now
alas, i dun have to see a depressing closet filled with clothes tat i dun wanna wear anymore
however the downside of today was that there wasn much sale going on as what i expected
but Zara rocked! i almost wanted to give up shopping and find a new hobby
but just as i stepped into Zara...my passion for shopping reignite.
super excited bout my upcoming cruise trip!! wheeeeLabels: zara
