back from hongkong and i miss it already.. not really thoe countr but the hockey and the hanging out with the team.
so yeah.. the trip was ok. the hockey was fun, albeit a tad dissappointing. the long periods of time in between games were really retarded. shopping was crap.. walking and walking was tiring and made my feet hurt like crap. the hotel was shit. the beds were so uncomfortable. there was only 1 english channel on tv. but then again, the trip was abt hockey.
so first game. we got thrashed 5-2 by taipei. second game we got raped 5-0 by manilla. third game we won 5-1 against a weak pengpeng team. quarter finals we played our hearts out and beat hongkong 5-1. in the semis, we played the best we;ve ever played and got really lucky and beat the other hongkong team 2-1. we scored the winning goal with 3 seconds left in the game. things like that only happen once in a lifetime!!! and finals today.. urghh.. fuck. lost 7-2 to taipei.. fuck man.we seriously should've won.. sighhhhhh.. seriously.. we could've beat them. but life sucks. and shit happens. and so my streak of losing finals and tournaments continues............
but in between shopping and games. went for team supper at 4 am in the morning. steamboat until 6am. supper cum breakfast. it was damn fun and frikking hilarious. watching our own match on video at 4am in the morning cause we were bored and couldnt sleep.. telling all kinds of racist and sexual jokes before each game to lighten up the mood.. trust me. it works. laughter is the key!! relieves pressure! HAHA! and for the finals.. we all wore HUGE different coloured afro wigs and skated one lap with them. we looked like retards but it was damn fun!
oh. and our flight was supposed to be at 6:30. which meant after our game, we rushed through the prize presentations, got undressed the fastest ever, and ran to the coach so we could get to the airport in time. and in the bus, i said sth like "wouldnt it be funny if we all rushed and rushed so much and panicked and stressed and when we reach the airport, they tell us the flights postponed. id laugh my balls off la." and when we reached the airport, lo and behold, our flight was delayed for 2 hours!! HAHA!! IM PSYCHIC!! i gave kenny 6 numbers to buy toto tmr!t HAHAHA! it was hilarious la. so they gave us each $120 hongkong to eat dinner. so we all pooled our coupons, feasted at popeyes. and we still had over a thousand dollars left so we all had 2 scoops of ben and jerrys.. yup yup.. it was really good.. so yeah. i had tons of fun in hk. could've been better.could've won. but the thing is, we went there as underdogs. no one expected us to win anything. we didnt expect to get far. after the first 2 games, morale was at an all time low. but hey. we bounced back. we won 3 on the trot. lost to a very very good team. i'd say we did singapore proud. not that singapore recognized it -_-" . but yeah. learning experience. team bonding. (:
my inspiration from the spectator stands!! (: everyones like in china now. excpet breastfliend and andrew...
