I know this entry is a little overdue, but I just felt a burning need to immortalize MS' victory into writing; so tht future generations will not forget what happened and so that people cannot give false accounts, in terms of scoreline, of the match anymore, which is what has been happening.
For those not in the know, recently in December, NUS' Muslim Society (MS) and Persatuan Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language Society-PBM), had their inaugural annual soccer match. PBM, being a larger society with arguably more mass appeal, were many an observer's favourite to have secured a victory, draw first blood as they say in footballing terms, in this yearly thing, and perhaps, rightly so.
But apparently, no one told the MS boys that was how the script was supposed to turn out. Football, as they say, isn't played on paper. MS dominated the game from start to finish, and for all of their endeavours and unwavering team spirit, were rewarded with 12 goals. Final score; 12-3. 9-1 in the first half, 3-2 in the second. MS won both halves, so no one could possibly say it was a tale of 2 halves.
The date of the game was chosen by the PBM people, so MS cannot be blamed for some of their players not being able to turn up. Both teams didn't have proper goalkeepers, so again, that cannot be an excuse. The joke is, PBM actually asked for a rematch after that; since I still want to be friends with the PBM people, I'll just leave it at that and will decline to comment further!
To my PBM friends, I hope you take this entry as light-heartedly (despite its serious message) as I feel writing it. No offence, fellows. =)
To those who partcipated in the MS victory, be grateful and proud; you have set a benchmark for successive MS generations. A tough act to follow indeed.
Till December then; for the 2nd edition of the MS-PBM challenge.

Oh man that game was definitely a memorable one. I can still feel the raindrops on my face as it was raining in the second half. Boy that was the best game ever played!
12-3... ingat scoreline itu...
Hmm, i played for the MS team too. I saw some spectacular goals from our strikers and good saves from our goalie who was goalkeeping his first time. It was an extraordinary match as players from the ms team had never played with each other before and some of us were actually sick that day. Yup, it is a tradition hard to, but has to, be preserved. Ole!
Wah, 12-3 eh? Korang main rugby ke bola?
the victory was secured by a crucial tactical brilliance from the manager who got his captain right and eventually the team.
Haha...Ai? Manager pun dah nak claim credit? Haha..Takpe2...Yang penting kite menang!
Alah, nasib lah MS menang!
siapa ni yang berani cakap ms menang nasib tapi tak berani memperkenalkan diri?
Eh helo ppl, jgn nak bergaduh kat sini eh. Kita kat sini semua kena hormat perbezaan pendapat. MS punye nasib MS makan, PBM punye nasib MS makan, ape salah makan sama2?
maybe in the future boleh buat NTUMS lawan NUSMS eh?lets not bring SMU into the equation here..they dont even have a patch of grass big enuf for a penalty box, let alone a field.
Haha...Fiz, tak payah marah2. Kalau 1 gol, boleh ah kata nasib. Lalau dua, masih boleh accept. Kalau 12??? Haha...
SMU? Haha. SMU ade 11 lelaki Islam ke??? And yar, sounds like a good idea trublue. If you need some match practice, maybe you could call PBM first! (Sorry PBM people, I couldn't resist!)
As quoted from Surah Al-Baqarah verse 190, we read "Fight in the cause of God, those who fight you; But do not transgress limits, for God loveth not transgressors". Note that we are fortunate that this ayat does not apply to this game because both teams comprised muslim players. Otherwise, "transgress limits" would be an understatement for a score that reads 12-3.
Baik ah Cassim! Lu the mannn!!!
Wow, Cassim, that's a totally new perspective. Thanks for the insight.
?? Anyway wow.tak sia-sia kau amik masters. even if its on stuff that electronic engineers in ntu do at undergrad level. haha JOKENGGG!!yeahh!!
Haha...Wah, budah NTU betul2 dah nak provoke budak2 NUS just to get us to agree to a match between NUSMS and NTUMS ke ni? Please lah, if u wanna a match, all u gotta do is ask!
