Skopet Iftar 08

This year's annual team iftar was held on a Friday. And for the first time we were joined by the ladies team (which explains going round in circles in orchard looking for an ice cream place).

Only 11 skopet guys were able to make it including the long forgotten Baqir. Enough to form a team, haha. Notable absentees include Rudy/Hatta who had to prepare for IFG final the day after and Mar and others who had to work. Roughly 10 ladies team players also turned up. And not to forget we were graced by the presence of both Soppet's sisters, Zahra and Fiza, the latter a possible new recruit. Well I've heard rumours of some family takeover of the skopet board.. hmm.. lets wait and see. haha.

Broke fast at Sakura Far East after which we proceeded with a long walk to nowhere whereas some 2 fellas at the back were debating about spiritual stuff the entire journey. No shit. Its like the rest of us are invisible. Haha, nonetheless, if u can out-talk Prem then you're the man. So whos the winner anyway?

Finally settled at Breeks at NACP for our dessert. Here are the pics courtesy of Sap.

Have a blissful and fulfilling end to a blessed month, everyone. See you guys soon, raya-ing perhaps Insyallah.

ramadhan kick-off!

its the only ramadhan kick off for this year.
skopet vs standard chartered @ clementi woods sec.
our adversities
- 12men ( 2 men only available per half)
- more than half the squad was fasting
- giant sized opponents
but it ain't excuses.
we kicked off with 1 men short for the 1st 15mins but managed to snatch the 1st goal. thru ball by boyboyan, fadly who was offside let the ball roll as he is deem not in play, and zai gets to the ball finishing with outside of his foot.
but in truth, boyboyan intend to pass to fadly, who was completely oblivious and didn't get the pass, and zai got to the ball 1st.
we manage to stay in control of the game in the 1st half.
2nd half, husni no longer can provide his services and was replace with ahmad. we gambled with 3 in the back with 1 deep sitting mid, and it proved to be suicidal when our opponents seem to step up. they equalised with, i must admit, a beautiful build up to a brilliant goal. a cross, head down and this guy chest the ball and half volleyed into the net. and then, a penalty?..1st try disallowed caused by their own player, 2nd try, struck the post. yes, rudy's ramadhan miracle.
but they did managed to get the lead with a controversial goal. it was laid off by a player who was offside.
well that kinda suck.
for the remaining period skopet try to find a way back. we would have, if rizman's effort didn't struck the post and fadly's shot wasn't directed at the keeper.
but finally, a few passes and prem had space for a long shot. we finally equalised few minutes before time. what a relief eh..
not giving up and all the hard work paid off boys..keep it up..
but when we have our 1st game after raya, a bit more effort to track back alrite..

signing off..
skopet no 11.

Mar said...: That sounds like a good draw! Brilliant! Anyway, sorry I couldn't join up guys -- blame it on the F1 SGP for getting me tied at work till late and unable to provide those last ditch tackles (got anot ah?) and those through balls (really got meh?) and the neverending supply of goals (actually only 1 but who's counting~).

So till the next game crops up, skopet for life! (rawr~); 11:32 PM
Anonymous said...: the poor attendance can be excused due to it being the weekend before raya and at such people are busy. Many thanks to newbie Wan and oldguard Ahmad tempeh who came down to help make a team. And also to Jason who comes down for games even though he stays in changi.
And not to forget, superb goal by premchand; 12:04 AM

update

Skopets, regret to inform you that our Datok Lianhua has 'bubbled' us for this saturday's game. Im gettting other organisers to try get a game. So as of now no confirmed match yet, but pls keep sat free. Will confirm by Friday. Though I hope our field form wont be like our last dragonscage session. haha wat a flop. We just cant seem to score. Luckily Ahmad Syukri won us 2 games with impossible angled goals.

For the Skopet Iftar, I need all of you to rsvp. Can leave a comment here or sms me for details. Its next Friday 19th. So far only Saliman cant make it. Sorry adik.. Sap and Prem are the organisers. Pls check with them if can change.

Alternatively if this sat no game lets go out for dinner, what say you?

And to Mar and the new players,.. yes matches go on even during the fasting month. We'll kickoff at 5pm, play our normal game and then spend the half hour after fulltime rolling on the ground in thirst waiting for buka. Cubaan.

Good luck to the Engineering team for this year's NUS InterFaculty Games. Ive been informed that the 08 campaign is led by none other than our Hatta.. which follows a proud tradition.. Skopet players have been captain of the engine team for 3 consecutive years. wow. Rudy skippered the side in 2006, Evan in 2007 and now Hatta's the man.

Im sure the current side will miss our prodigy, syaf, who by the way is recovering well and is seen donning skopet colours to school. Baik ah syaf. A few more months je. Next year kau nye turn. Eh but that means you'll need to repeat year 4. haha.

With such distinguised fellow team/schmates, pressure thus mounts to the latest Skopet freshman in NUS, AdikSal. How? Did you get a place in the Science team? haha

On a different note altogether, Skopet IFTAR will be held next week. When and Where to be confirmed soon. Sap from skopet ladies has gamely taken on the organiser role. Syahir pls assist. Oh wait, our recreation IC, Zai B, is clearing leave in view of ORD. So yes Zai pls liase with them and confirm attendance from our side.

And finally Happy BELATED Birthday to our adiksal. 21. Finally an adult. haha. Did everyone else miss it? Whats happening to the blogging team?

we'll be back in action next Sat 5pm @ Lianhua.

stay tuned.

oh today 3-6 pm NIE dragonscage Ramadan edition still on. Whos game?

Anonymous said...: Thank you. And Hatta is conducting himself pretty well as captain this IFG. We steamrolled through all four teams yesterday in the First Round. Now we're in the SF (16 Sep; Finals: 20 Sep). We've got a clear chance this year, one that we will not squander.

And yes, we will also miss Syafiee Saat this year....

Happy birthday Saleman. You should try be captain of FOS; in keeping with tradition.

Zai has finally ORDed.... Haha
