A Pride At Stake!!

Hmm, how should i start this entry... It starts with me lazing in bed till i recieved two calls telling me that i'm late for my final intercon basketball match today. Maybe cause I came back late after meeting up with my old classmates, i overslept this morning. I rushed down to school taking cab, at least the match was going on at 3rd quarter so i actually came in time to play for the last final quarter. Today's match vs CADC was a relatively easy and comfortable one as this game is just a matter of pride of which team to be in the last position as none of us is going to qualify for the semis. Well, i didn't score on this last quarter, but at least this time i had one chance that was created by the whole team and a few assist for the team. The match ended, 49 - 36 win over CADC. For our group, the results should be CLS and SPSU entering the semis, unless BE is able to thrash CADC hard enough to earn a significant point difference to squeeze a place in.

Next was our club's intercons captain's ball match against SB. Everyone played well in this occasion, but SB wasn't able to stop us from scoring, and we went ahead by at least 30 points at half time. Ryan, as usual took another excellent performance and wasn't troubled for most of the game. SB gave up by half time as they changed a female as catcher for the team, allowing one extra guy on the field to take on us. This tactical change didn't have much of an effect to us, as we cruise to a 80 - 10 victory at full time. We are now 9 points draw with SPSSC & SMA and our final cpt's ball game against EEE club have to be a win + 48 points should SMA win against EEE club on the same day. Advantage is on SMA side, but luck is on our side as we will play against them immediately after the game with SMA. Hopefully, the cpt ball's team will be able to make it to the semi's as they deserved to be inside and even emerged as Champions.

After that, most of our bball team was resting and cheering for the cpt ball game, we played 'DIE' at the court. Than, the organiser of this intercons, SPSSC, approached us to see if we are willing to referee a match between SMA and MM, of course with shield points added as condition. Xiang Bin & I was the referee for this match, and it started off as 2nd quarter since they postponed their match that time due to bad weather. MM was in the lead by 15 - 3, and though they only had 6 players available, they were united and was able to finish the game 53 - 35. SMA did tried very hard to challenge MM, but they were over-killed by the average height of the team. This was my 3rd match referee for SMA, so its quite a fate maybe to get me as their referee for all their matches now.

Next, we went to Staff Center (Food Haven) to have our lunch there, and this time, we had free drinks treat by our club president over today's victory. Though it wasn't such a big deal as none of the matches enable us a qualification to the semi's, i think it was a good bonding as a team for us. We 'smuggled' the drinks and was actually caught by the waitress there, however they didn't do anything to stop us, so we just went ahead to drink and celebrate before getting the bill. Soon after, most of them left while i stayed behind to watch the afternoon intercon matches. To our susprise, we were again, asked to be the referee the match between SMA and CSCC. We agreed, of course!!! Alright, to make it sound very personal, i went in the match hoping to see CSCC lose as they caused us to lose due to their bad referee calls!!! However, Sly & I decided to be professional as we always maintain to achieve and not bear personal grudges against them. Not sure why, as referee, i also get lost of concentration in the match and i believe i made a few minor bad calls. But not every one is perfect, so a minor mistakes won't kill right? Enough of me crapping, and so the match ended 29 - 43 win by CSCC. SMA played pretty well in the 1st quarter before giving up their concentration in the 2nd quarter which actually cost them this game.

To finish up my crapping, although i cannot get the Best Player Award, i think i definately win the Best & Most played Referee for intercons, making 5 appearance i think. lol

Enjoy everyone~!~!
