What's the point of me blogging right now?
I guess everyone is already fast asleep during this time?!
Oh well , who knows that there could be some hardworking fellow , burning midnight oil , still studying out there just like a nerd? Or , someone out there could be bored to death and hence , visiting other people's blog to kill boredom?!
Due to my laziness , I didn't sign in to my email account and check my inbox for any latest mail coming in. I just received a mail from Michael Chow Yee Lee regarding about today's St Andrew's Alumni , Saints Rugby Social Group Regular Fun Touch Training.
In the mail , it states that , the St Andrew's Secondary School 'C' Division Rugby Team , will be playing in the M1 10-a-side Rugby Tournament and all of us will have to be down to cheer the team on. After the M1 10-a-side Rugby Tournament , it will be followed by having our weekly St Andrew's Alumni , Saints Rugby Social Group Regular Fun Touch Training.
Details of the M1 10-a-side Rugby Tournament are as followed:
Date: 7 March 2009 , Saturday
Time: 0800 hrs - 1430 hrs
Venue: St Andrew's Village Astro Turf
Details of the St Andrew's Alumni , Saints Rugby Social Group Regular Fun Touch Training are as followed:
Date: 7 March 2009 , Saturday
Time: 1545 hrs - 1900 hrs
Venue: St Andrew's Village Astro Turf
Is there anyone out there , who is willing to volunteer to attend today's events on my behalf? I just want to give training a miss for today and next saturday. I will be back for my weekly trainings after next saturday. If there is anyone who is willing to help me out , do contact me @ 98550797. Even if there isn't anyone who is able to take some time off to attend today's events on my behalf , is alright.
What will happen the most is that Geoffrey will give me a call later tonight , asking me why didn't I attend today's events. The most I will just tell him that I am down with a flu , having a sore throat , running a high fever and asthma attack acted up again. I am not trying to curse myself with all these illness ok! In fact , I am down with a flu right now! Whatever it is , I am determine to give trainings a miss for two weeks!:)

We won!(:
Hellos!:D
I made it back here!
I made an escape from hell!
Today , reached school around 04:00:00 PM. I was late for the friendly rugby match. The first person I saw was Michael. Whenever I see him , the first question that he will asked was: 'Hi Richmond. How are you doing?'. However , he asked me a different question for today , unlike those normal saturdays. The question was: 'Hi Richmond. So how many tries are you going to score for the team , adding points to the scoreboard?'.
Guess , what was my reply to him?
This was what I replied: '0 TRIES'!
The reason behind it is simple. If you are not even going to send me , being the so called 'secret weapon' into the field , how in the world am I going to score tries for the team? Does it makes any sense to you? Yeah , I do hope that it makes sense right?!
I still remembered clearly that in his email , he states that if the need arises , only then will he send me into the field to play the game. Michael asked me to change into my rugby shorts and rugby boots. When I am done changing up , the rest of the members were hurrying me to grab a jersey and join them for warm-up exercise.
All of them wanted me to join them in the game and play along side by side together with them so badly! They were shouting to me: 'Hurry , hurry , hurry! Grab a jersey and come in join us!' They sounded as though the team can't survive without me!:P
Once we are done with the warm-up exercises , the match began to kick-off. I was sitting at the side along the line-up line , watching the match , following where the ball is flying around intensely and talking on the phone at the same time. On top of that , I was talking to the girls from Juring Junior College as well!(: We had a good start at the beginning with us scoring the first try.
I almost fell asleep during the match , it was so boring watching the match. It was until the second quarter ended , a 5 minutes break for both teams and to re-shuffle the team before the third quarter of the match kick-off. That was the time when the backwards players were asking Michael to get the 2 'monds' in to further strenghten the backwards pack. The 2 'monds' are DESMOND & RICHMOND!(: Michael decided to get both of us in to support the backwards. Desmond took up the centre position whereas I took up the right wing position. By right , I am supposed to take up the left wing position but because Clifford attacked too much using his right shoulder , hence , we swopped.
Before the third quarter started , Christopher was telling me right wing very slack one and won't get to score try at all and told me not to worry. He even said that the opponents won't get to score at all with the few backwards playing the game towards the left side. Not a few minutes later into the game play , JJC scored a try!): That was really stupid alright! The fullback is the last man and yet he let them score. What's more the fullback player was CHRISTOPHER!-.-
Since that was the case , I proved to him that the right wing is not there for the fun of it. Another few minutes later , I scored a try adding 5 points to the scoreboard with Leon passing out the ball to me and me running towards the tryline. This made Christopher speechless and the third quarter ended. I could have scored a second try but I got brought down by my opponent when I was almost reaching the tryline.
During the break , I substitute out with Glen taking over the right wing post. The last quarter was the most exciting play with us doing most of the attacking and damages to the opponents' team. I shall not elaborate much on the last quarter. The final whistle went off with the score of 29 : 24. St Andrew's Alumni Team won!(:
This game really rocks because it was my first time playing together with solely only the over-35s saints ruggers and I was the youngest in the team!(: Haha! It was really fun and enjoyable. Although , I escaped from hell , I didn't managed to escape from any form of injuries.
I HAD A STRAINED LIGAMENT ON MY LEFT THUMB & MY PREVIOUS WOUND SPLIT OPENED!)':
The pictures are with Ricky and shall upload them once he upload the pictures onto facebook or circulate it to us through email.
Ok , shall end here.
Tada!(:

Friendly rugby contact game.
Hello everyone!
I'm back here to blog again!
Sorry for not updating my blog for the past few days. If I still don't update my blog today , in which , I am doing so right now , I might never ever get to blog again in future.
I know that I sound as though I am going to depart from this world and would never ever come back into this world again right?! That's what exactly I meant right from the beginning of this blog post.
Alright , I shall go straight to the point. The St Andrew's Alumni , Saints Rugby Social Group members received an email from Chairman Michael Chow Yee Lee last night notifying everyone with regards to this saturday Saints Rugby Social Group Fun Touch Training.
All of us were informed last minute that the friendly rugby contact game for this month has been brought forward to this coming saturday(21 February 2009) instead of having the game played next saturday(28 February 2008). Instead of playing against St Andrew's Secondary School 'C' Divison Team , we will be playing against Jurong Junior College Team. The match will kick off at 3.45pm sharp and the game will be played at Saints Andrew's Junior School Astro Turf.
Upon receiving the email from Chairman Michael Chow Yee Lee , I responded to his email asking the plans he had for me on that day itself. He replied in his email asking me to bring along my rugby boots , rugby shorts with St Andrew's logo and blue/white socks. He said that is up to me if I want to join in the game as well. But if there's a need , we will use our secret weapon for the match. I was asking him what that secret weapon was and he said that it is 'ME'!=.=
Since when did I became the secret weapon for the team to make use of? I knew what he meant because I have the speed and strength to replace them if quite a number of them are injured and sent out of the field of treatment. As you know , when you are playing a game of rugby , you will never know when will you get injured or even lose your life in a game? Life is just so unpredictable.
I just hope that the secret weapon , which is 'ME' , won't be put into good use for tomorrow's friendly match! Let's just hope that tomorrow's match will be able to ran smoothly and that I am able to make it back here to blog again!(:
