The place where it all began...
Where should i start? How should i start? What should i say?
Recalling back to the maris stella days, it was getting lifeless after sec 1 passed. It was home after school everyday. Then on one particular day, i just recalled, a very tall guy(justin) and a very short guy(darren) asking aimlessly for people to go for soccer.
That was how it all began...
5 years passed, i admit, i wasn't good at passing, poor with my left leg, and can't even shoot accurately, but i tried to do my best for the team. Like what the pros said "never be afraid, don't hide from the ball."
During these 5 years, we saw how many of our players improved, yen hao still as good as ever, wc turning into a playmaker, cs with his skill and technique despite his size, and darren with his drive and energy, making up for his height. Ivan, strengthened by his cigarettes, with his cheeky flicks, and i could just go on and on...
The reality is starting to sink in only now, even though thia told me the news a week ago. Life really does become somewhat empty when you do not have a KFC day to look forward to. Tell me, how can you get a group of about 10 18 years old to get together?
There's only 1 answer, and that's soccer.
Everytime after KFC session, you just can't help it but smile at how the day went by. Yeah you may not have scored, you may not have done better than you liked, but at the end of the day, what matters is that we all had fun. I guessed that's why we were able to successfully organise these football sessions for so long.
So what now? Seriously i don't know, thia mentioned about the team venturing into field soccer, but i guess it won't be as fun as our KFC session. A different ball game altogether, though i feel that field soccer suits me more.
I have this feeling that, we will be back to our very homeground in the near future. We just have to look out when the signboard is removed.
Then again, it doesn't really matter. Remember GTO? Onizuka said "school is just a name, as long as there are students, there will be a school." That applies to us as well.
As long as we Kensingtonians are around, the spirit of KFC will live on with us.
For now, our undying love for soccer will bring us through this pain of losing our homeground. Nobody will ever understand or feel how we feel towards our home.
As long as the ground is there, I will have faith, that someday we can reunite altogether at the very same place that we all met and became brothers.
KFC brings us up where we belong...
