"Supernova", Zizol's streetsoccer team:The Beginning...

Thursday 16Nov'2006
Babah a.k.a Dad took back the Karnival Putrajaya 2006 streetsoccer competition form on the ticket counter at the Precinct 16 community centre, after chatting with the counter person,before heading for the swimming pool.Took it home and simply put it on his study table and was 'discovered' by Zizol as he was looking for something on Babah's table. Zizol got exited and shouted"Hah, streetsoccer! Nak masoklah!"
Babah questioned Zizol "your mum has booked the Corrus PD apartment over this weekend for you people and her sisters & your grandma a weekend retreat..., mmm...but if you want to participate we can send an entry & sacrifice the retreat. But, anyway can set up a team?today's Wednesday,we're leaving for PD tomorrow (Thursday) night". Zizol reassured "It's only PD, dah biasa pergi.I only require 6 players, me, (kid bro) Redza, cousin Azmir in Puchong and one or two friends from Salak Tinggi".
The form has to reach the games secretariate by Friday (but Thursday night after Zizol's tuition the family will be heading for Corrus PD), so that Wednesday Zizol had to think fast who will make up the team and Babah had to think who could send the form in to the secretariate.
Babah called up Pakcik Madir if he's not working on a day shift on Friday to submit the form.Madir said "sorry Abang, saya kerja siang lah minggu ni". Babah called up Pakcik Napi, our next door neighbour, a young father. Pakcik Napi agreed. The form was filled up by Zizol, stapled the RM10 ringgit note 'sponsored' by Babah. Babah read the particulars curiously "Your team called 'Supernova'?why 'Supernova'?". Zizol explained " 'Nova', star or stars that twinkle for a few moment in the sky, So...Supernova, superstars-lah!!!".
After Zizol's tuition at 2200hrs and before leaving for PD, Babah gave form to Pakcik Napi and said he will call for the competition's updates.
That night at Corrus PD, Babah reminded Zizol, Redza and cousin Azmir to "sleep early as tomorrow we're to leave for Putrajaya before 5am, pray suboh at R&R Seremban and breakfast at Nilai layby." But Zizol,Redza and cousin Azmir was seen awake until 3am....
