Me playing soccer (?!?)

Haha, it’s real. No kidding. My old classmates who studied with me for years may know well how bad I am at physical education but this time, I have, seriously, taken part in a soccer match!
I have watched soccer for 5 years but not until 5 hours ago did I have a chance to play soccer. And I must say, it is amazing, ecstatic, exciting to play the sport you like.

Here is the summary of my first experience being a soccer player for 40 minutes:
Note: This is the soccer team of my class established a week ago to participate in the school’s tournament.
- I was unexpectedly called into the team simply because it was in short of players and the monitor confirmed that no professional skills were needed and our motto was: Play for fun! :)) And I agreed to join just a day before the match.
- I was given a 10 minute-or-so training before the match.
- I started the game as a substitute :P
- I was a defender (Lahm’s position ;) but I guess it just didn’t suit me :(
- I really admire my teammates: vigorous strikers, careful and calm goalkeeper… unlike me - a clumsy defender, who was responsible for at least 2 conceded goals of my team.
- During the game, I felt very excited and my spirit was really high. I played without fearing that I might be injured (In fact I had stumbled down twice). Sweat, accelerated heartbeat… I was really into the game. But you know what, as people often say: Enthusiasm + Ignorance = Destruction :D LOL
- The outcome: my team lost the game, which also means “This is where our journey ends”. However, on the bright side: I had a lot of fun, enjoyed the so called teamwork spirit and knew more about my friends.

After that experience, I wish to attend another match. I need more training and I will show that I can be a good player! =)

A special Sunday

Usually, Sunday is not my favorite day of the week but today is an exception. I’ve had a wonderful day although it didn’t seem to go well at the beginning. Here I list the most 3 outstandingly interesting events of the day:

1. From the crack of dawn, I heard my parents talking about something so noisily downstairs that it almost woke me up. It turned out that they were worriedly discussing the sudden disappearance of the dear cat of my family. As usual, he should have been there waiting for his breakfast or tried to wake the family up with his familiar sound “meow… meow”. But no such things happened today simply because …he’s gone! After the all-out search in the whole morning, we all concluded that the cat had been officially missing! This had been the third time he left home (in secret!).
About 8 p.m, we heard a sound from behind the house, which we were quite sure was his and we couldn’t be wrong, it was exactly the troublesome cat. He got stuck somewhere between the ceiling and the roof of my neighbor’s house. So it meant that another rescue should happen… again. I know, last time, he pushed us into a kind of dangerous state to rescue him and now I guess “this guy” is challenging us with LEVEL 2! But the rescue went more smoothly than we thought. Again, my brave sister was the hero and took the naughty cat to where he belongs!

2. 2 days ago, I received a message informing of the so-called “offline event of MLTR’s fanclub”. I was really, really excited and a bit nervous ‘cos this is the first time I’ve attended such an event. Wow, imagine, this is a good chance to meet those who share the same idol as me, so I am sure we’ll have plenty of things to chat about. And to tell the truth, I’ve never met any real fan of MLTR…in real life! This could be a promising meeting. But the first hindrance was my parents’ permission. They gave very little credence to this event. They have heard too much about the deceitful and mischievous online friends and they didn’t want to take a risk. But as for me, I believe those people so I tried so hard to convince my parents. After all, my effort led to a good result – I was allowed to go, but with my sister as the companion. It is still OK for me, yay!
As I once said, my memory was so bad and today it really caused me a trouble. I mistook the bus and was 20 minutes late for the meeting. Fortunately, when I arrived, those people from the club were still waiting for me. After a short introduction, I’ve made acquaintance with them all and I felt that they were interesting and kind people. Then we marched on to a food stall to fill our starving stomachs. While eating, we had fun chatting with each other. It was so nice to know more about these MLTR’s fans. We even discussed a plan of setting up a fansite for MLTR fans in Vietnam. One of the club members had made a draft for the website, which was so cool!
Then there came the most exciting part of the meeting – going to sing in karaoke club. No sooner had I walked into the karaoke room did I receive a call from my dad. His voice was serious. He told us it was time to go home, but I begged him to let me stay for another 1 hour for karaoke-ing. Suddenly he talked like commanding through the phone in a kind of vexing voice: “Go home, now!”. I was so scared that I decided to leave without hesitation. That was the end of the party for me… yes, an end in regret. I want to stay…you know :’( But I understand how my parents felt. I should go (rather than I must go). Anyway, the offline meeting left me with so nice impression and a lot of fun, too. I can say I am satisfied with it. Can’t wait for the next!

3. The last event of the day is also the work I should have done much earlier today: saying happy birthday to one of my best friends on Facebook – Amira. Actually, I prepared a special gift for her a week ago and I can’t wait to show it to her. I have waited the whole week to do this. The reason why I was so excited was because I made the gift by myself using some techniques I’ve learned. Though I posted the gift pretty late today, I hope Amira fully enjoys it!
