From One Bee to Another

12.15 pm, 25 September 2008.

A bird and a bee were found in Dalat International School, engrossed in talk on the recent Z'Liners-PFA Floorball Challenge (Juniors).
[Unbeknownst to the bipeds, they had been watching the whole thing.]

Excerpts from their conversation:

Bee: ...and the kid they call 'Julian', he was buzzing around, he sure wazzzz.
Bird: When?
Bee: The first game. Even before that he was already--
Bird: Oh! Kestrels against F-Jr; I loved that match...
Bee: ...because the Kestrels won, that's why you loved it. 2-0. Fact is, Dalat's naturally stronger. Though you must admit, F-Jr did give it a reasonable shot.
Bird: I heard that Team Manager of theirs telling 'em not to burn themselves out because they had more of a chance to win in the next game.
Bee: You eavesdropper. Anyway, F-Jr was slightly clumped up, really. Didn't spread out enough. The Kestrels, now they knew how to play. Beautiful passes, great team-play on the whole.
Bird: F-Jr was a wee bit blur. Though their captain was running everywhere. But true enough, the Kestrels were more organized. F-Jr needs more training, that's all.
Bee: You think Dalat's overrated? Just cause they're all non-Malaysian?

Bird: I heard Lin Ken saying that the Juniors're boring. Slow-paced, actually.
Bee: Eavesdropper.
Bird: Now I'm no chicken (I'm a crow), but it didn't seem safe to go near F-Jr vs fireBrands I2.
Bee: Now that was like... the clash of the cat and the dog.
Bird: Cats and dogs don't fight. Why once, a dog was helping a cat catch me.
Bee: Both sides were pretty even, though F-Jr had a lil' more skils. Still, teamwork wasn't really their forte.
Bird: True. Credits to fireBrands I2 for a few nice passes and efforts at teamplay.
Bee: Both sides were warned for slashing. Just warned.
Bird: Interesting game. fireBrands I2 kept on making the score even. Close match.
Bee: And finally F-Jr delivered a goal. That boy Sachin was yelled at, though. Captain and Team Manager were busy reprimanding him for slack defending. Frankly, he was a bit blur.
Bird: Sachin still has many years to go. And so do all the other juniors. Let's just hope they stay at it.
Bee: fireBrands I2 just need more vigorous training. F-Jr could really do a lot more when it comes to teamplay and positioning.

Bee: Sachin has a sister --another floorballer. Sonia, I think. She could help him.
Bird: If she would.

Bee: They had to win this match, the F-Jr, to have a chance in the semis.
Bird: And they did. 1-0.
Bee: Somehow pulled off a win against the Hoppers. Learnt from their mistakes, perhaps.
Bird: A well-deserved win, I reckon.
Bee: You think so?

**

Bird: Pity, F-Jr didn't make the cut. At least they were 6th, after losing to the Jumpers.
Bee: 3-0. Slightly tired already. From where I saw 'em play. Though they did improve as compared to the first match.
Bird: 6th. Respectable enough?

(The unanswered questions from the dialogue art for thine own pondering.)
