last friday i wuz in this ADP’s foos tourney…. doubles with fageeh…. curse my luck we had to face kyohei n surinder in first round…!!! (for ur information, both of em r freakin wicked n i mean FREAKIN WICKED foosers…!!! dammit…!!!) but things werent tat bad for us actually…. it wuz a tight game and we won 1 game out of 3, wuznt tat bad after all… we lost like 2-1, respectable result…. so we had to go thru d "losers brackets" (hate tat sound…. y dont they change it to sum’n else like "still-got-hope brackets") guess wut, we won 2nd match woohooo…..! then next match wuz against brian n sam…. i played with these two before n i have my respect for them…. i know them very well n wut type of fooser they are, brian’s a puller (he pull like hell…!!) and sam’s a snaker(he’s a python…!!)  n so the match wuz very tight and full of tension… we won the first game…. they wont the second game… we tied at 1-1…. it all comes down to the third game… we had a good start of the game and we scored sum goals first but of course the opponents fought back… we handle the game very well UNTIL i scored the fourth goal, which means 1 goal away from victory… the score of the game wuz 4-2… then all the pressure started to haunt me and fageeh wuz like to rushy to score the last goal, all we needed wuz just one goal…. but the Goddess of luck wuznt on our side…. so brian served the ball after i scored for the fourth and he unintentionally passed the ball to the wrong angle and it went diagonally towards my goal and it wuz too late for me when i realized it… 4-3… next ball our serve, fageeh made it into snake position… his snake wuz one target but this time sam guessed the right way… so sam had the possession of the ball, set it for a pull-shot… he found a hole in fageeh’s 5-men and the cannon wuz unleashed… i wuz ready for tat hole, i blocked the shot but sumhow the ball hit my men… then the wall… then my goalie… then the metal goal… wut happen next wuz me n fageeh lookin at each other n stunned…. 4-4… both of the team were one goal away from victory… and so the last ball wuz served… we coudnt manage to keep our consentration, fageeh’s shots wuz off-target and my long-shots made the table into a pinball machine…. then our opponent had a chance to claim victory, brian succeed to hold the ball and set it for a pull… it wuz between him n me, like he’s the penalty taker n im the goalie… and so the shot came…. bingo…! i wuznt too late or too quick, i guessed the right momentum, the shot wuz blocked and for a second i tot we still had hope… but unfortunately brian had the rebound and again he set it for another pull… this time, he dint make any mistake and i wuz too late…. the ball hit the metal goal n it sounded like a gunshot "BANG!!!"… it wuz a clean goal… and tats it for me n fageeh… we’re officially out… no more "losers brackets" for us…

this tourney wuz the first time for me and i had a great time… i gained lots of experience… from my opponents… from my mistakes… from everything… and yes it wuz fun… im lookin forward for the next one…. until tat day,  i’ll be workin hard with my wrist….
