Todae is definitely the highlight of my life. When the dream comes true, where the passion burns right into our heart, when the fighting spirit is unbreakable. The brotherhood of the KACC finally won the 1st tournament n our 1st medal ever!!! Yes, gold medal!!! To many ppl, this doesn't mean much but in the heart of every KACC members, even those tt were nt there, it is the day, our day... Celebration n cheerio!!!
It is a street soccer competition held by the NUS Science Fac. As usual, most of the players r nt related to science fac or even NUS in anyway. It is the passion for soccer tt brought all these ppl frm diff places n schools together, to compete for the title n honour. Yes n so here we come, the KACC legends, nv afraid to lose coz we r so used to it lolz. Under the leadership of our captain Kendrick, we filed 2 teams - KACC n NSL. Oyar i forget to intro, KACC stands for kolam ayer community club which is our homeground. N NSL is a last min name used, stand for Nil Sine Labore which is VS motto.
I was in the NSL team, also known as team B for some reason haha. Nwae, i played as the keeper n kept 3 clean sheet. The last gm, I 'conceit' a goal for the lamest reason u can ever think of. The ball hit the upper bar, deflect onto the ground n flew off away frm the goal. The refeere blew his whistle n called it a goal to the surprise of everyone including the opponents i guess. 'Hmm, 1/4 of the ball was inside the goal post so it is a goal', says the sharp-eyes refeere who was abt half a court away. Haha, damn funny... But nwae, NSL was power, the defence was almost impenetrable, though seriously lacking in firepower up front. NSL definitely deserves to be proud of emselves, n i am realli realli realli damn damn damn happie wth our performance. NSL was out.
Our hope lies wth KACC. We have to win the 4th gms to gt into semi. Wth abt 5 mins left to go, when we thought all hope was lost, then the most remarkable feat happens. Kok Wai, our keeper suddenly dribbled out frm his goalpost n thunder a long range frm beyond half-court. The opponent keeper was left helpless, fully stretched, he could onli watch it turned the gm against emselves. Hail our hero!!! Yup, we just went mad, unable to contain our happiness, we celebrate like we have just won the champion league.
Yes, it sounds like a fairy tale, a story, a myth... If onli u were there to experience it.
The semi was nt difficult, we won 2-0. Finally it was the final showdown tt truely reflects the figting spirit of KACC. Yes we fight like the Spartans, ahahaha... The sun freaking hot, 5 intensive gms of 15 mins each n here, we r into the final. I rem how dramatic it became.... Kendrick n Kok Wai gt leg cramp on 1 side, sub out to rest then went b to cramp again on the other side n came out again. Even on the floor, they will yelling n urging the team to fight on. Every player was needed. Even the fittest could no longer hide their shag-ness anymore. But, every ball we still run for it, every threat we go for the challenge, every chance we hit em on the counter. Even Lazy was nt lazy, for no one is willing to let the team down. Yes, we won thnz to Kok Wai again for a bizzare goal. Hail our hero again!!!
Our 1st KACC victory, definitely we will cherish it dearly for it is realli our blood n sweat... The sweet memory will stay wth us forever, hopefully spurring us on many more victories to come. Yes, long life to this v team tt unites us, where we give all we can, for ourselves n each other.
A truely inspiring n touching day...
