I'm not supposed to be on the com now, because I'm supposed to be doing my hw during my free period, but well, my self discipline has failed me once again. Today is another match day. Yay! Against SAJC. I hope we can win by a large margin this time. We're soooo going to win every team in our group, i just know it. I hope that I get the chance to play today, as I didn't get to play in the last match. Anyway, I have a few other lessons to attend today before I can finally get out of school. I feel soooo tempted to skip the rest of my classes, but my mum forced me to attend all my classes. --Sigh-- Why did I have to tell her? me and my big mouth! Yup, yesterday's training at NIE was rather eventful. Dark clouds loomed as we boarded the bus, and by the time we reached NIE, it was raining cats & dogs. Lightning was striking all over the place, and every time we wanted to walk to the pitch, lightning would strike just before a loud clap of thunder. At one point, lightning struck the grass patch about 3 feet away from the bus stop, followed by a thunderclap as loud as a synchroniszed 21 gun salute. This deterred us from even trying to go. Before this, Gurmit Singh had driven by in his car and told us to walk to the pitch in the rain despite coach telling us to wait at the bus stop for him (because of the lightning threat). After a long time, Gurmit Singh came by in a raincoat and a loudhailer, and made us walk all the way to the pitch despite the presence of lightning. He then said that they didn't pay $180 for the pitch for us to wait at the bus stop. (Fancy staking 20 lives for $180. That means **calculator punching** that each of our lives is only worth 2 extra value meals from Mc Donalds. I'll leave the rest up to your own judgement.) Ok, enough of the bad memories. I've really gotta go.

Let me Say...

I'm sitting in the com lab now because I'm free, because that Sean Tan cancelled the Chem lect. Yay! Because the projector blew up or something and couldn't be repaired in time, and then Sean Tan said that he would go and get his trasparencies, which I suspect are non-existent. Anyway, here I am again, after a short drop in at the library, bored as usual. Adeline just reminded me that I owe a huuuuuge amount of hours in library duty, which I don't see myself being able to do anytime soon. I wish that I could have cleared my hours consistently during term 1, but I just could not find the time, because of so much training. --Sigh-- Guess I will just see how it goes--well, I've cleared a backlog of hours before --> during december hols last year, but june hols this year is another thing altogether cause we all need to study for prelims --sigh-- So much for that, well I need to go for maths tutorial soon so I guess I'll end here. And now that Bryan Chua is sooo irritating me while I'm trying to type....lol......Joking lah:) Bryan don't angry, yah?

Another packed Saturday

Well, it's certainly been a long and tiring day for me. Let me start from the beginning. Well, i woke up late this morning because I was dead tired after yesterday's training. I'm so glad that I finally had some time to clear my undone tutorials this morning, which are still many in number-a considerable pile. Had lunch at home today with my mum, who nicely cooked for me. After that, it was time to leave (for my mum actually, cos she was fetching my dad from the airport, and I did not want to stay home alone.) for the match at NYP (friendly against RJ). I arrived too early. I had been planning to go to the pitch early and hit around until 3, but someone had beaten me to it-the RI kids were training there. I walked back to the mrt and met vijay, who was looking for a place to have lunch, so I went with him to this food centre buried deep inside the housing estate, and we made it back to the mrt in time to meet all the others, then we all went to NYP together, and got held up by the security guard who wanted to copy down our names from our ezlink card-nosy fella. Dynamics, then coach gave this team talk, which I missed because I was helping David Loh guard his video camera which I didn't know how to operate (well, it's one of those hi-tech gadgets-what do you expect? I never use the stuff.) I guessed it was probably about the 3-3-3-1 formation tactics. Then the first half people went in to play. I was put in in second half. Today, coach changed my positions a lot, and I kept worrying that I had done something wrong. First, I was in left wing, then I missed 2 tackles, then I came out for a while, and went to play right back, where the RJ people played the ball so fast that I didn't know what was going on for quite a while, then I got put to right half, and that was when some real disaster struck- I did not run into space so as to make myself available for passes, and by then, I felt that I was physically dying. I also overan quite a bit, up to the opponent's 25 at some point, only to have to sprint back to the half line immediately. (RJ was crowding the midfield with 5 ppl, and it's hard to get them once they have the ball. I felt soooooooooo relieved when umpire blew the final whistle, because I was close to puking out my lunch by then. The team encouraged me a lot today, so thanks a lot guys- you'all are the best:)After that, cool down at the NYP track (a great place, especially the field, which I damaged considerably after I hit a few stray balls out of the practically unused field, without getting scolded for violating the sports complex rules of course...lol...) Ya, and the team went out for dinner at AMK after that - this food court near the mrt station that was as crowded as can be. After that, I came home straight away by mrt, and that's the end of another day in my life. Yay!
