Three wins in a row! BASS (5) vs Chun Sin (0)

BASS started the match well and got an early corner. Hafiz spotted Majdi unmarked in the middle of the field and Majdi did a 'Gerrard' when he smashed home a powerful shot past the opponent's goalie for his first goal of the tournament. 1-0 to BASS! Man of the match Hafiz then scored with two well-taken goals to break his scoring duck after failing to score in the first two games. Like what an Oz bloke would say, 'Goodonyamate! (good on you mate!). Chun Sin responded and created some chances but the BASS goalie Zarif made some important saves. Qasman almost gave the opponents a perfect gift when he gave away the ball cheaply in the middle of the field but luckily the opponent's striker shot wide. Yamin and Asqa then completed the rout to give BASS a 5-0 lead going into halftime.

The second half was a messy affair for BASS and the opponent controlled the game for most of the time. It was a nervy moment for BASS and their supporters when the opponent hit the post three times in quick successions. Abu, who was having a quiet game made some good clearances. On the sidelines, the supporters duo, Aimi and Ka Suhara became part time coaches and cheerleaders. BASS had their fair share of good chances but Fadhli and Hafiz were guilty of failing to capitalise on any of the chances. BASS held on and the scoreline remains 5-0 until the final whistle.

Here are some of the pictures from the match.. Sorry for the poor quality..

Warming up..

Supporters and part-time coaches..

All in all, it was a good game for BASS. It was disappointing not to score in the second half but at the end of the day, it's the win that matters. Next up for BASS will be a match against SSA on Friday, 1st May 2009 at 3:30pm. Hopefully, more BASSers will show up in the next match. *ehem ehem*

Sekian,

MSO futsal tourney, Match 1: PAAN vs Brunei

Hello mates,

Here's the first match report which is slightly overdue due to unforeseen circumstances (=p). The first match for Brunei's BASS futsal team was against PAAN, one of the malaysian teams in the tourney. Here's a summarised info on the team and the details of the match:

Squad:

* Zarif (GK)
* Majdi
* Asqa
* Abib
* Yamin
* Fadhli
* Zahrin
* Qasman

Final results:
Brunei BASS 7 - 1 PAAN


1st Half (2-0)

1st & 2nd goal:
First goal was scored by Qasman which he described as being lucky since the ball accidentally deflected off his knee and went passed the keeper into the net. A fierce war cry followed which in turn uplifted everyone's spirit even more.

The second goal for Brunei BASS came from Qasman as well with an accurate top corner shot which again was followed by another fierce celebration. Both of his goals wouldn't have been true without the assist by Asqa's precise and accurate passes.

2nd Half (7-1)

1st goal conceeded:
The goal came after a miscommunication between the goalkeeper and one of the defenders at that time. One of the opponents came rushing in at the loose ball which the goalkeeper tried to clear but failed which in the end led to PAAN closing in the gap between the scorelines.

3rd goal:
BASS players continued to pressure the opponent’s defence in order to create more goals and widen the scoreline. Fadhli’s shot proved to be fatal as it deflected off one of PAAN’s defenders and gave BASS a 3-1 lead in the match.

4th goal:
The fourth goal was executed by Yamin with a very cheeky flick which again boosted the team’s confidence and morale. Again this was made possible through Asqa’s assist.

5th goal:
One of the best goals of the match which saw precise passes and vision which leads to a marvelous combination between the BASS players and led to the 5th goal which was again scored by Fadhli. It started from Majdi -> Asqa -> Abib -> Fadhli (goal).

6th goal:
Brunei BASS continued their rampant pressing which in turn led to the second last goal of the night. This time it was done by Asqa following an assist from Fadhli.

7th goal:
Zahrin scored the last goal of this exciting match which wasn’t possible if it weren’t for Majdi’s long and accurate pass. The long pass was ended with Zahrin’s superb trademark goal which he deemed as “kalok” (Heheh).

All the players did a very good job even though they were nervous at first. Their performance can be described as an exponential function after the 2nd half started (batah kn panas heheh). Not to forget, our goalie which denied PAAN’s several attempts to score to get back into the match. Congratulations to the BASS players for a superb performance in the first match!

Here are the figures (true as of 20/4/2009):

Scorers:
Qasman - 2
Fadhli - 2
Yamin - 1
Asqa - 1
Zahrin - 1

Assists:
Asqa - 3
Majdi - 1
Abib - 1
Fadhli - 1


Sekian,

Gaya mau tau, Main mau tau!

p.s. Happy Yoooooooo!
=)

UPDATES on Blue Mountain Trip

Hello everyone,

As the title speaks for itself, I was unofficially assigned to organize a trip to Blue Mountain. So for those of you who have not been there and are keen and excited to explore more of the Blue Mountain, you are most welcomed to join us. The more the merrier. :)

The details are as below.

When: 18th APRIL 2009 (This Saturday)

Time:

Please be at the Central Station by 8:00 a.m. I was informed that the train ride to Blue Mountain would take approximately about 2 hours. So if we were to be there by 8:00 a.m., we can then take the train that leaves the Central at 8:18 a.m. (The next train available to Blue Mountain would be an hour after that). Click here for the train schedule.

Ticket *UPDATE*:

The Blue Mountain Explorer Link ticket would cost you for AUD$51.00 (The AUD$29.20 ticket is for concessions only. SORRY!!!). This ticket includes return (same day) CityRail travel to Katoomba Station with all day access to the Explorer Bus.

Once we reach there, we are going to exchange our CityRail ticket for a Scenic Pass ticket with and additional payment of AUD$28.00. This ticket includes the Skyway, the steepest Railway, the Cableway and the Walkway rides.

So the total amount for transport to Blue Mountain is AUD$79.00.

Things to see and do:

Blue Mountain offers wide range of activities - from bushwalking to visiting the Chocolate Factory to getting onto the world's steepest passenger railway. For more info on the great attractions that the Blue Mountain has to offer, click here.

So our meet-up point for that day would be at the Central Station. Please RSVP this event by putting your names in the comment box or the chat board by this Thursday so that we can do the headcount.

Jamberroo Final Road Trip Plan


Hey ho all you roadtrippers yo! After several discussions, rethinks, repricing, cancellations, bookings and researching, Ka Suhara and I have finally come up with the final plan for the Jamberroo Road Trip taking place on the 11th of April on to 12th of April.

First and foremost, the thing nearly everyone seemed never satisfied with, is the final price.


PER PERSON:
CAR RENTAL (WHOLE TRIP): $ 46.00++ (Not including fuel and excess charges)
ACCOMODATION: $63.00 (Saturday Night)
JAMBERROO ACTION PARK: $37 (Entry and All ride Access)
OTHERS: $20-$50 (Food and Drinks)
_____________________________________________

TOTAL : $170 ++

So if your going on this trip, just bring $200, should be enough to cover everything insyaallah. Next is the actual trip plan.



Above is the proposed route we are taking for day one.
DAY 1 (SATURDAY 11TH APRIL)



PICK-UP (10AM):
University of New South Wales, Kingsford. Please be at the pick-up point before 10am and sediakn all your barang. Pack lightly (clothes for two days, swimming, and toiletries). NO SUITCASES. I will charge you a excess baggage fee if you do! Also, if you don't want to spend alot, pack some food and drinks. The first day we are going to be in the car alot, so wear comfortable clothing and bring entertainment (book, handheld game, mp3 player, pillow). I know the car is a bit small, so I will try to arrange a lot of pitstops as possible.

PITSTOP 1 (11AM-12AM)



Bankstown. My 1st proposed pitstop for the day. There are a lot of halal restaurants around this region including fast-food (MCD and KFC), so we can stock-up or have some breakfast/lunch here.

ACTIVITY 1 (2-5PM)

Blue Mountains. Looks like blue mountains is on again. Ka Suhara and I decided to put it back on cause that was the whole point of renting the car in the first place. Mostly be sight see-ing. Lau sempat, there is this apple farms closeby, and we can try freshly baked apple pies. Nyum.


PIT STOP 2 (7:00-7:30 PM)
Campbelltown. Dunno what exactly is here, but its the best place to stop en-route to jamberroo. Take a half an hour to stretch your legs and refresh yourselves. Theres a shopping mall here too i think, wouldn't hurt to check it out.

ACTIVITY 2 (9pm onwards)

Check in to the Harp Deluxe Hotel, Wollonggong. This is a fairly standard hotel. I've already booked 5 rooms, 2 person per room . The description is as follows:




"Harp Deluxe Hotel. Just 100 metres from WIN Entertainment Centre and Stadium and the Crown Street Mall. Located in the centre of Wollongong's restaurant and entertainment strip. Great value! "




We can probably have a late dinner and look around a bit. Rest, Relax and have fun.


DAY 2, SUNDAY (12TH APRIL 2009)

JAMBERROO ACTION PARK ( MORNING - 5PM)
We are going to spend the whole day at the park. Not sure what the check out time is, but dont have to worry since the park and hotel is not that far from each other. Its Sunday of Easter weekend, so its gonna be crowded and its better to buy the tickets beforehand. I havent bought the tickets yet, so I recommend you guys buy of the net. Here's the address:





Please notify me once you bought the tickets. I didn't do it cause it'll be too much hassle collecting money from you guys. Just print them out once you purchase it and don't forget to bring it on the day of the trip!!! If you have trouble with buying the ticket, please contact me aite!


BACK TO SYDNEY (5PM ONWARDS)
No deadlines here, the park closes at 5 and we are free to go whereever we want by the end of the day. So this part is still open to discussion. We don't have to go back at 5 either, if we leave earlier we can still make it to the royal national park north of wollongong. Lots of stuff to see there!

Anyways, thats the plan and the price. We're happy with it. I'll see you guys on Saturday! ROOOOAD TRRRIIIIIIIIIIIP!




*********************************************

SYLVESTER KHENG who turns 21 today and also turns out to be our designated driver for the trip (just in time). Hair is not included as shown in picture above.
