How 2012 turns out

20.37 | Label: , ,

2012? What have I had in 2012? I think I can't every single moment that I've had in so-called-doomsday year. Perhaps it's because my life in this year just so-so, I've been too busy with my college 'things'. I am in semester 5 already, the beginning phase of the hardest time in pursuing my undergraduate title.

How about your resolutions in 2012? Have they come true? Believe it or not, I have no such 'tradition' in my life. Since I was born, I've never made any resolutions at every single new year. Perhaps that's why my life is just so-so, because I've no much expectation. I don't feel how people when they make resolution come true or they couldn't make it. But I don't really care about, isn't there a saying that says "great thing happens when you least expect it." And some great things really happened to me. Let me tell you then.
      
Let's start with the presence of my cute niece. You might already know about it since I've mentioned it some times on my previous posts. My big sister and her husband got their first child. It adds some happiness to my family. Now, we are seeing Nabila (my niece) in cutest phase. Every time we see her doings, we will smile even laugh happily.

Another thing is, I am taken now. I am dating with a very good girl now. She is my fellow student. It's really great since I didn't really expect it. It surprised me, it really did. While I am enjoying my status of being single, thing turn out to be..... good, very good instead. Though being a boyfriend means I have responsibility, I think as a lesson for me to get older and better.

Those two are my main great thing which happened to me in 2012. There are many good moments which happened to me in 2012 actually such as, my trip to Bali, my vacation to Water boom, and etc. But I think these two great things are enough to show you that great thing happens when you least expect it.




How about your 2012 guys? 

Thank you

FUTSAL VS FOOTBALL

22.12 | Label: ,








            As human’s need of healthy lifestyle is getting high, people are trying very hard to be healthy. One way to be healthy is doing sport, and one of the most popular sports nowadays is Futsal. Futsal is quite different from football or soccer, but somehow they are the same. Futsal is played by 5 players on the pitch while Football is played by 11 players on the pitch. 

One obvious difference is the place to play. Futsal is an indoor sport yet football is played outdoor. Futsal’s pitch is smaller than football’s, so futsal is able to be played indoor. Futsal uses a hard-court surface as the pitch while football uses grass as its pitch.
If football is played two halves of 45 minutes each, futsal is played two halves of 20 minutes each. In a football match, the time is running till the end of each half though the ball is not played on but in a futsal match, the time stops when the ball is out of the pitch or when the ball is not played on. Futsal has 4 time-outs, two for each team. Each team can only use a time-out for each half. On the other hand, football doesn’t have any time-out.
 Another difference between futsal and football is the amount of the referees. Futsal has two referees in each match, referee 1 and referee 2. The two deserve to make decisions but referee 1 is usually more powerful than referee 2. In contrast, football has only one referee who is helped by two linesmen. Every decision on the pitch is made by the referee and the linesmen just help the referee to make the decision.  
In spite of these differences, these two apparently opposite sports share several similarities.
Both, for example, have similar required kits for playing. Jersey which has number on it, long socks, shin pad, shoes, and gloves for goalkeeper (optional) are kits which must be equipped by all players. Except for the shoes which have different type, all kits which are required for playing futsal and football are generally the same. 
Some technical terms in futsal are essentially just the same as in football. Handballs, direct and indirect free-kicks, kick off, goal kick, and penalty kick are the terms known in both sports. The way those terms are done in football and futsal match is the same.
 Final similarity is that the performance and achievement of a football national team portray its futsal national team, vice versa. For example, Brazil who is the five-time winner of FIFA Football World Cup has a very good futsal national team and has won FIFA Futsal World Cup five times. Another example is Spain. Spanish football national team, the depending champion of FIFA Football World Cup 2010 and Euro Cup 2012, is one of the most powerful teams in the world. They have won Futsal World Cup two times and were the runner up for the 2 latest FIFA Futsal World Cup.
Futsal and football is different yet alike. Although the two sports differ in some things such us the place for playing, the time, and the referee, they share several things in common. Furthermore, their differences and similarities make them more interesting to play.



NB: It's a comparison/contrast essay about Futsal and Football composed by myself. It's done to fulfill Writing IV assignment given by Mr. Sirajudin. *I just post it to make my blog not quiet..... :) *
