IHG floorball thanks and woes
Sunday, February 22, 2009

It's always nice to be part of a good natured team that fights hard. That was what I experienced yesterday at IHG floorball. I love it that we all went out to enjoy ourselves and just gave our best, no blaming or scolding of each other no matter what.

I did have fun playing with you guys yesterday, BUT am having a very serious problem calming myself down over my mistakes. I don't know why I am so uptight about making mistakes, but it has been gnawing at my conscience non-stop since yesterday, even up till now, 24 hours later. Though everyone says 'its only IHG', that is no help at all. Perhaps because it is only a small scale competition that I did not have the best of attitudes, and that is bothering me. I hated that I could not shoot on target most of the time, yet did not have the composure to pass instead of shoot when I heard the call. I feel horrible for not running my best cos I was damn lethargic, could not support in the best way I can, fumbled with passes on the board. Urgh. On the whole, however, I know I did quite well. I did not do any fancy useless moves, only made one dangerous centre pass (thank you lucky, lol), had the chances to shoot which is a great achievement in itself, made some quick runs that guys could not catch up with, controlled my temper pretty well too. Haha but I did shout like a mad woman once when the ref said my goal didn't go in when from freaking far people could see that it went in, totally and absolutely across the line. Sorry to all about that, controlling my temper when I am accused of something I did or did not do is one of the biggest challenges.

I cannot get over the fact that the simple act of looking up and shooting on target eluded me yesterday =( Oh well it wasn't as good as it could have been, but it wasn't that bad, so cheer up! First silver medals for IHG floorball... thank you to all who came down to play. Special thanks to gerard who came down to play goalie and huiqi for helping me out though you actually do not like to do this kinda stuff, heh. All of you guys are seriously great teammates and friends. And though I am so uptight about my performance, the team did really well truly. Kudos to all of us.

p.s. and I feel better after pouring the woes out =)

I went off @ 12:21 AM
