Fields of Dreams

I have playing evening soccer at Tiong Bahru Park for the past couple of weeks


I like playing there because I find it very challenging to play with those skilful and passionate uncles and youngsters.

Even though the field tends to be congested and not in the best of condition, I am very happy just running about and pitting myself with the rest.

Simply stepping onto the green grass gives me a sense of immense freedom, and I realised that I am most confident about myself when I am on the pitch, I can express myself easily with my feet.

Being up against stronger and bigger sized players trains me to be more courageous.

Getting toe to toe and speeding alongside youngsters reminds me again not to give up easily.

Being shouted at for losing the ball carelessly makes me humble and learn to be alert to my surroundings and

Being Outwitted by the opponents with a slick movement or pass makes motivates me to always think steps ahead.

I thank God for this opportunity to play competitively during some weekends where I can keep myself physically fit.

I always ended the game unable to see the ball anymore at 730pm, quite tired but very satisfied.
