Abraj United


A couple of days ago, Khalid, our client's engineer invited my company for a friendly futsal match between both our companies. Hence, we laced up and headed to the Jordan Society Building, a 20 minutes drive away from our villa. Representing Abraj Cooling (my company la) were Zudki, JJ, Eddy, Kanesan, Latif, Amir, Prathap and yours truly. When we arrived at the open pitch, we were greeted by Khalid who embarassingly informed us that none of his other colleagues were coming. Apparently some forgot while others were fasting bla bla bla.

Well, less men more share I guess. :) We kicked off with a four on four while one waited on the sidelines. It was intense right from the get go and a few of em' shined over the rest. The star players included Zudki, Eddy, Amir and Khalid. After 30 minutes or so, players on both sides were gasping for breath like a fish out of water. I guess we need to work on our endurance huh. :p Players tackled, players skidded and players tumbled but all within the good spirits of the game. There was a moment where JJ and Eddy were caught doing the 'hanky-panky' on the pitch ... hahaha, you had to be there to appreciate the moment. :D

Goals were aplenty ... 5-5 at one point and the match was settled with a golden goal. Anyways, I trust everyone had fun and a rather good workout by the end of it ... so there were only winners after the final whistle. Besides, this worked well to bond the team and with this, a sports club of sorts was set up right there and then with funds collected to 'finance' future games.

Ole Ole Ole Ole ... Abraj Bolehhhh!!! *lame* :p
