3rd match
today we played against MI. final score 1-1. a draw.the team was all hyped up and ready to play their best and we did. in my opinion i'd say this was the best i've ever seen the team played so far. krystle scored the goal within 3mins of the game. fran crossed the ball into the D, one time sweep from krystle and we heard the backboard. great one krystle! (:
the MI players were all so big in size that our team was kinda afraid when we saw them. but we still went ahead and played all we've got. jialing was so fixed on defending that she totally irritated no.13 it was really funny watching how 13 got so angry all the time MI took 16yard hits. cause it proves to show that jialing is doing her job well (: 13 got so fed up after a while then she switched with 9 to be in right half defended by meng. not much diff i must say. shiyan was so poor thing that she kept getting shoved and bumped by 12. the female umpire warned them before but later in the 2nd half, i think, both of them got carded. i didn't think it was shiyan's fault. AO was the best la. she got elbowed in the nose and started to bleed badly. it took like 5 mins to stop or something. she kept saying "aiya i'm gonna look so ugly now" and was crying. haha. poor girl. she kinda got freaked out by the blood that was coming out from her nose.
things went on smoothly until the last few mins. MI scored amidst our confusion. AO apparently had cramps and she fell jsut outside the D. everyone thought the umpire was gonna blow to stop the game but no! the MI player just dragged past AO and whacked hard. the backboard sounded. that instance, krystle started to cry and the ppl at the bench just went silent. our hearts just sank. it didn't even seemed like a goal. i was hoping so hard it'll be a foul. sadly it wasn't. if we won MI by that one goal, we're definitely in for the quarters. but now we drew with them. when the last whistle went AO's face just crunched up and she cried mumbling "sorry sorry it was my fault". krystle too burst out in tears. Donica too. i cldn't help but tear up too. the team walked solemnly across the pitch, all trying so hard to hold our tears back. we all knew we didn't deserve a draw.
after playing such a great game, i really didn't feel we shld draw with MI. but like xue said, it might be just God wanting us to take the difficult route to get into quarters. why wait till next week when we cld qualify today? maybe He just wants us to top our group and beat RJ and play harder. whatever it is, we still have a great chance to get into quarters and we will.
AC hockers, all's not lost.
we still have 1 more match to go.
whether MI goes into the quarters or us is determined in our hands.
how much we want it?
that much.
so we keep our heads high and play RJ with much more tenacity than we had for MI.
we play our heart, mind and soul out to get into quarters.
the boys held RJ 1-0 and i'm sure we can do better.
we win or draw with RJ.
we can do it and we WILL.
no qualms bout it.
we deserve to.
many thanks to those who came down to support us and cheered us when we felt down.
and thank you Lord for clearing up the skies.

2nd match
won ijc 4-0.the team played well but i guess we cld have done better. not enough pressure from the forwards and didn't manage to stop a lot of their 16yards. but overall the team played very well.
i didn't get to play cause i think it's my stiff neck. can't turn to face the left so really no pt playing... feel a little sad though cause i was kinda eager to play but maybe not so cause i was terribly disturbed by my neck.
acs barker was playing against queenstown sec for b-div soccer finals and queenstown won. good on them.
ajc also won tpjc in a-div hockey. watched the way they celebrated and it felt so good. winning does really feel good. so we'll have to win MI and then playing RJ won't be a stressful thing. if not we'll have to pray hard that the goal average will take us through to the quarters.
went with meng sammie deb xue dawn mon amanda sher and ms tan to serene centre to have oishi pizza and island!! finally island for me. haha. the staff at oishi is so funny. they do the weirdest things to the customers.. in a fun manner i guess. we talked about our past ccas and all. ludder was in PA!! haha. we laughed till we almost cried. and still no one believes i was in bowling in sec sch. why? burnt caramel felt so good (: more flavours next time. and hey it's cool to work in island but need those connections! :(
yest's acjc vs jjc rugby match was an eye opener. not in that sense but with meng explaining to us, fran and i kinda understood much more than we did. there was this angsty no. 9 jj player. he's so funny that i can't help but laugh and laugh. they went in for the ball and getting tau pok. apparently, someone punched him in the face and he had a nose bleed. his friends were trying to get him to stop moving so they can help him out but he pushed them away. i tot that was really mean. and he kicked up such a big fuss and even refused help from his coach. second half of the match he got a nose bleed again. the few of us were like 'oh man. hahaha.' heard the ruggers didn't play very well and got scolded? dunno. score was like 30+ - 9? i hear diff versions..
when the hockers had lunch today i saw my eyecandy's brother! yest i saw them BOTH one after another. it made me so happy but i dunno why. mayb cause i havent seen them for a while. my eyecandy still looks better than his bro. haha. sad but true. got our school jackets too! really nice ones :)
let's fight till the end hockers.
show them what we've got!

1st match
A DIV HAS STARTED!!
mi 27th
rjc 2nd
today we played our very first A-Div; against CJC. we won by 7-0!! omg. i am really really happy and proud of the team. we played till the last whistle. shiyan scored 3, fran 2, krystle 1 and AO 1. ms tan said tat was the highest score in her history of hockey. haha. the seniors came down to watch and a few other hockers came too. i'm really glad they were there to support us, though cj's supporters were so many, and could celebrate with us.
the reason to our victory? lucky seven!! everything we did had something to do with 7 or had the number 7. bev was no. 7 and got carded. today's the 17th. we had 7 seniors supporting. the bus had car plate that added to 7. we ate at tables 73 and 74 at adams. we took 67 to adams. i took 77 home. we won by 7. most importantly FRAN'S DREAMT TAT WE'LL WIN 7-0 AND WE DID!! how cool is that?? she shld dream more. seriously. haha.
i tot the team fumbled a bit in the first 10 mins but after shiyan scoring we settled down and put our head into the game. fran was running everywhere. baey's hits and passes were really good and had a lot of sense. AO's hit was nice and flat too. one went into goal. shiyan went for rebounds and deflection and krystle just whack ah! haha. i personally feel that my performance was not up to standard at all. though passes were nice and ran like mad, i didn't go in enough for rebounds and deflections. cld have more goals. plus i didn't score anything :( BUT i will work harder and make sure i score the next match!! that will be my top goal.
keep going krystle. rmb we're all there to fight with you till the end. never eve give up cause it means giving up on us as well. we're there with you all the time. just call if u need us. calm and steady wins it all. love ya :)
thank you to all who believed in us and supported us.
we will continue to play our best and do you all proud.
MORE GOALS TO COME AC HOCKERS!!

keep the fire burning
the hockers had a hard time deciding if we were gonna play a friendly with PJC. in the end we went ahead with it and it was the right choice. cause we won 1-0!! plus the goal was scored by me after going in for a rebound for short corner. pretty happy bout it. BUT i must really learn to focus after scoring and then FACE THE BALL. omg. i missed many many nice passes from krystle and debbie. it's really frustrating. i hated it. and the pj defender was so irritating tat i felt like pushing her away with my hands. goodness. but that's her job. defend.i met shu mei (mg) and ally (mi). i was kinda surprised that they're in hockey. it was good seeing them again. familiar faces.
keep the fire burning AC Hockers. today's match proved a lot;
- communication is very impt to allow a good flow and nice passes
- forwards should chase every ball and put pressure. that's when defense panick and releases stress from the midfielders and defense.
2 more days to 1st A-Div match. honestly i'm excited and nervous. i really want us to go all the way and get into the finals. so we can make full use of our blue slips too! haha. we're all in this together (:

i scored today!!
i'm so proud of the hockers!!we played so well against scc today though we lost 2-3. the fighting was so strong and the hunger to score was there.
PLUS!! joces and i scored 1 goal each today! it's our very first time scoring in a match. joces was so happy that she screamed and jumped all the wasy from the goal to the 50yard line. so cute. and it was really glad to watch the hockers celebrate our goals. every goal to us is important.
we train like tat intensity we had today and i'm sure we'll have many more great matches to come.
AC HOCKS ROCKS!

SHUT THEM PPL UP!
dawn had a long talk with us after trng yest. it was the first ever time i've heard the team so quiet. first time i felt that they were really serious.we know we want it. but cause we play ard and don't do trng seriously. so when we get onto the pitch and play, we play how we train. it sucks to be screaming shouting and feeling fustrated when u're playing. so near yet so far.
we've less than 3 more trngs. i hope we can take each trng seriously, starting from warm up. i know it's never easy esp when school's crazy and teacher's are ragging on how lousy our results are bla bla. but who cares. at least for another 1+ mth.
Remember, we're the team that played last year's 4th to a draw. That's how good we are.
we just keep going forward and i'm sure we'll make it to the semis. and we will shut those ppl who say we are lousy up!!
maybe we shld just hockey-camp all the way till season. haha (:
love you all hockers lots!
