But the better part was i got to become football referee! First time become ref weh! With that being said, surely got a degree of noobness in me la. Like calls not being made n wrong decisions made. But like Wallace said, i'm d ref, i'm d law. haha.. Now i've really played in EVERY position on the pitch!! From goalkeeper to center back to midfielder to striker n now ref!. However, since it was rainin like all day, the pitch was in seriously dire conditions. Even the field in St. Davids on a rainy day is better thn TAR college field. Its literally playin in a paddy field weh. But its fun watchin ppl slip n slide in d mud chasing for d ball. Especially when the ball suddenly stops in a puddle, those chasing the ball will apply their 'emergency breaks' and sumhow end up on the deck. And it also makes refeering a whole lot easier cos players don't dare go 100% into a challege for d fear of gettin mud. Too bad i didn't bring my camera la. Oh, i wasnt spared as well, had to run from 1 end to the other, and wats d result? legs covered in mud. But ain't mud good for the skin? Hmmm.....
Well, besides football, there were other sports goin on la. But most of em are so far away from d field, that i myself malas wanna go n c. But one other sport that i was overseeing (or partially overseeing) was chess. Yes, my college also got chess tournament! But 1 thing i see was so damn sad. The chess pieces were old and some of em had missing 'heads' weh. And u noe, its d same chess boards/pieces used in St Davids! Nostalgic.. hahaha.. There were good players and serious noobies. Rarely get to see those inbetween types.
Thunderstorms halted play for all outdoor events on Wednesday. So with us ithcing to kick something, we decided to go n play futsal instead! :D. And the following day, the whole football event was converted to futsal for the fear of rain n bad pitch conditions. A wise move i must say cos it did rain again on thursday and we manage to finish it on that day itself! :D. Overall, i think i have to be the most lenient ref around. I often let play go on, never gave a card for the whole tournament and let ppl tackle each other silly. ahhaha..
Then on the final day, as with all or most sporting events, there was d ol' tug of war. The conditions on that day was superb. For once it didn't rain !!.. And one surprising thing, there were girls taking part!! Seriously, all my life, i've not seen any girl team taking part in this event. But most of the girls taking part were one kind la.. no no, surely not seafood-ish. But more of the tomboyish, guy-side of the lesbian couple, sibeh vocal type. The way they taunt opposing teams before the game seriously scared me weh.. Were they really girls or 'girls' with a lil 'thai influence' :P.
Anyways, all the field events ended by 6+ and wat was left was basketball. But then, some ppl, namely commitee members decided to have sum fun by throwing flour (used to draw d lines for tug o war) at each other. I tried to be as silent and as non existant as possible for i really didn't want to get floured. But then, as it turned out, i got d worse. Most of em just got flour thrown at em but i got flour + water!.. Water weh!!.. they wanna make me into a human dough or wat? It was disgusting la.. All sticky n hard to get off. And when it dried up, felt like got 1 extra layer of skin...-.-.. but i understand la, no hard feelings k. All in d fun of it.
So after d final whistle blew for basketball, we all were free of this event d! whee... No more stayin back at college till nitefall!! yay... Seriously, with the 7th month comin up, i dont wanna weh.. But then, i fear that next week, my friends from another school will ask me to ref again. oh well, it aint that bad rite? ...
Oh, sorry i couldn't make it back this weekend again... sports thing really took alot out of me.. really tired + still got damn assignments to kao tim which sum i haven't even started!! So if, IF all goes well, no disturbances whatsover, i should be coming back next week?? But like the weather here, it can change in n instance... >.<..
