The "Burning" Sensation

Hi,

It’s me again. Mr Talen(ted) Blackburn. Since I am free from office work now, I decided to put up this post that I wanted to do since the last soccer session.

Ever heard or remember this phase?

“Dey, my legs are on fire!”

To recap, this phase started out with little Ronaldo aka Ma Jiang Xiao Wang Zi (Mahjong Prince).

Before anything-else, I just want you to relax and imagine.

“On a sunny Sunday morning, we are playing soccer against the Lao Jiao (Old Birds). Lao Jiao no. 1, Mr Candy, mis-kick the ball. Then, the ball fell to your feet. You push the ball upfront and on came Lao Jiao no. 2, Mr Endless. Candy is behind you too. At this moment, you search for your team-mates. But everyone is too tired and did not make any run into space.

You are on your own now.

You tried to flick the ball pass Endless. Due to his long legs, his leg managed to hit the ball but he did not get it. You chase for the loose ball, with Candy going for the same ball.

Candy got the ball.

Then you suddenly felt this sensation through your legs. And you pull the ball away from Candy’s legs and push it forward. This time, Lao Jiao no. 3, Mr Lawrence, came up to tackle you. This time round, you did a Ronaldinho flick instead and the ball went past Lawrence. You run with the ball. You saw Endless and Lao Jiao no. 4, Mr Ah Seng, running towards you. You pulled the ball back and turned. You went pass Ah Seng. You are now, one on one with the last man, Lao Jiao no. 5, Mr Eric. With him being his lazy self and standing there, you smack the ball straight up with power.

The ball went up and in between the basketball posts. GOAL!

You scored that day’s most sensational goal!”

So how do you feel now? Do you have the urge to play soccer this Sunday? Do you feel your legs burning now?

That was how I felt last soccer session, as I tried to and succeed in dribbling pass the opponents that day. The feeling was “Superb”.

Anyway, I did felt the “Burning” Sensation on my legs. Thus, I fully understand what Mahjong Prince was trying to say.

That’s all.

Hope to see you at the usual place and the usual time next week.

My legs are burning already.

NT: Cage on 09/12 is cancelled. Don’t think we have enough people.
