Exhausted

Yo, I'm just back from my client's place. It was really tiring! Imagine, wake up at the 7 a.m.(the latest) and sleep at 12 a.m. (if lucky) for two consecutive weeks. I was sick due to the transmission of germs or bacteria from my manager in charge.

Today was the final day for our field work, hence everyone of us was busy and rushing for completion. Luckily I had finished my two dormant files' field work last week. Thus, I still could assist my senior, W.S.E. this week. He had two files as well, but I don't think he managed to finish them on time even if with my assistance.

I was exhausted. Everyday work for long hours and didn't have my dinner. I missed my lunch today. Yet, we still couldn't finish our part, I mean in detail. There were a lot of works we need to do and lots of areas we need to cover for property developers. It was an eye-opening experience. However, it was also the most difficult subject in F7 and P2, IAS 11 Construction Contracts. As a student, I didn't master this topic as it was one of the most complicated ones. Ergo, as an auditor, it took me quite some time to figure out what the accounting concepts were as well as the double entries.

My manager, G.C.B. came to review my works on Monday. Out of my expectation, he gave me some compliments. Of course, there are still parts where I can improve, such as my cross-referencing. 

I don't know how long can I stand. Hopefully I can find a better way to handle it.

Futsal

Yoyoyo, I had my futsal hours last Wednesday with my senior, Gino. Last Tuesday, I cleared review points with him until 1 a.m.. Yes, you're not wrong, it's 1 a.m.. This was the latest time I left office. Hence, we were quite tiring on the next day. Luckily, we went to Simpang Ampat for auditing. We went back to Penang around 5:30 p.m.. 

When we reached Greenlane, it was about 6:30 p.m.. Gino invited me for futsal. Actually, he invited me once during my first job. However, I didn't go even once because I still needed some time to train my fitness back. Furthermore, I heard from my colleagues, Colin and Jonny that his team was very skillful. Ergo, I dared not to accept the challenge yet. This time, I didn't let the chance go. I accepted his offer. Frankly speaking, I was really worried that I would disappoint them or cause my team to lose the game. 

Gino came to fetch me around 9:45 p.m. as our futsal started at 10 p.m.. Majority of the players were older than us, in fact I was the youngest. Besides, most of them were auditors. Nonetheless, a few of them like to smoke. 

There were eleven of us. We played five against five and we would rotate the team whenever a team scored two goals. My performance was out of my expectation. I could play. I was so delighted even though I didn't score even one goal but I delivered quite a number of assists. The reasons that I didn't score were my leg was not powerful enough and my poor agility. 

My response was quite slow too. It was just about 20% of my previous fitness. One thing which was very encouraging was I didn't get tired easily due to the moderate tempo and also their style of playing. For your information, I used to play 'Kick and Rush' tactics. There usually would be one-man show and we relied heavily on someone who could dribble the ball to the front end. Normally Johnson and Anthony would play this role. 

Nevertheless, in this team, they played possession game. 'Men Behind Ball' was a norm over there. As what Gino said, they enjoyed controlling the ball than scoring. This is what we called 'maturity'. They enjoyed having the ball by their sides rather than scoring. 

Conclusion for my first futsal game after two years of time:
1) I have to strengthen my stamina, speed, response and agility.
2) I have to play more so that I can know where would they normally go so that I can improve my first touch. 

I took two seconds before passing my ball to my teammates and this was too slow. I needed to see where my teammates were when I got the ball but the two seconds were more than enough for the opponents to mark me.

Well, it was fun even though my futsal boots were broken after two matches. I bought a new pair of futsal boots on Thursday and hopefully there would be more opportunities to play futsal then.
