Today, my primary school, SJKC Han Ming organized an annual football competition. Last year, my team got second and I wasted a year. This year, my team consists of 13 people, 3 seniors, including me. One of the senior was the top striker, the other a top defender, lastly a top goal keeper. The last week before the tournament, we fooled around saying everybody will draw 0-0 and there is no winner.
When the first match starts, the teams drew 0-0. Second match, 0-0. Third match, my team, too, drew 0-0. Our little "curse" seems to be working, everybody's points are the same. Fourth match, also 0-0. Fifth match, my team again. We broke the "curse" by winning 3-1. So far for my clean sheet. After the seventh match, it is our team again, drawing 2-2. As we played along, our points added up to 8, highest in the league table. The second team will play with us in the final.
Final, 2 halves of 8 minutes. That was the longest 16 minutes of my life. After the first half, we drew 0-0. Then the top striker took a shot, hit the crossbar, then the outright post, and the ball landed into the back of the net. We held on for some time before the whistle blows the end of the match. I came here to get what I want, First. And I got it.
