Looking for a light

The past 24 hours have been a whirlwind and a flurry of activities. Let me elaborate.

Friday was the conclusion of the floorball 3-on-3 competition. They had built a court in SMU, which my team, made up of SMURF Wen Duan, Daniel, Yan Ling and myself. The previous day on Thursday, we spent till 11pm practisng on the court.

The semi-finals against you-an's team was won 3-1 by us, wen duan scoring a hat trick, if i'm not wrong. Haha I dont realli remember. Perhaps the one thing I did remember was when you-an was all over me and climbed on my head, i mean literally. The crowd on my side went crazy and started scolding the culprit, which instigated hao-yi to ask them to eff off. Of course this curse, said allowed and in such a malicious manner only provoked the crowd more. But I was glad that I didnt respond, I just checked if you-an was ok and continued.

Then we went to the final against another group of floorballers. There was a guy called clement, another called mark and a girl called deborah. They were a realli good team but we snuck to a 3-0 lead by halftime. Then came the second half. We were flooded with attacks, almost every call went against us and they got 2 goals back.

But we defended like hell, seriously, I was so shack, cos my fasting was beginining to take its toll. 5 more mins, and the opponenents would prob. have managed to draw us level. But 1 thing kept us in it.

Yan Ling.

She is a work of art seriously, there is no other girl I know whohas so much determination and can take so many knocks. Her hardiness and yet humility impresses me. HEr saves dat day realli did it for us.

I respect the opponents for their skill, but one thing I hated was their trash talk, and decision to start jibing at us, and being confrontational, talking to the ref and shit. Perhaps the best example was when one of the guys banged in to me and both of us fell sideways into the barrier. It was quite a bad fall for me, but i got up and walked away. Oh, and apologised also. the other guy whined and claimed I elbowed him. But the ref gave the free hit our way! So it was obvious who was in the wrong. and in dat sense the smurfs deserved the win.

Champions, in a sport i barely play. I'll take dat.

Yong En Ovenighter

After that it was off to tuition at tanah merah and where I recieved the news that the team would be staying overnight at Yong En to finish up the job ASAP. I was rather reluctant at first, then decided that it would be the last time and prob only time I could do it, so I got home, and packed my bags, getting a lift from Dan Poh to Chinatown.

We reached at bout 12, and began work till 2 am, where we stopped. We had a nice team bonding session, getting to find out more about each other, which lasted till bout 3 am. Then it was back to work for a while, before resting for cards at bout 5. I rested from 6 to 10 am, before it was back to full blast work. Left for the curtains at 12, then came back by 2. Where we whacked it till 640pm. Im home now, but I'm realli super shack, just slep bout an hour in front of the TV.

I realli love the Do-gooders, in spite of everything, WE WILL prove to everybody that we are the best.

Its 12mn and i still havent started on todays work, wnet to school at 11 for an MA meeting toay and then set about doing MA. Must say it wasnt too productive cos I was bloody stuck on one question about Process Costing. Shite man.

But anyways things picked up after that when I went for training. I realli like the feeling of stepping into school, seeing the girls and then going for training. Today I went back to ECP, the cradle of birth of VJ's Soccer greatness. Ran about 4 click with the team, though after dat most of them insisted that it was more than that. Well, it wasnt, I'm sure, in fact it could even have been a bit shorter. But well, the run was ok, I think the girls need to push themselves more to get into better physical shape.

Oh my gosh Torrie Wilson is wrestling....

Ok back to the story. Anyways after that we went about doing some stationary exercises, some leg raises and dips. Then after that went to 4 v 4. I still feel that the grils have a long way to go, cos their play is still very messy. But it will hopefully all fall into place.

But anyways some of the girls have failed about 2 promo papers and I'm realli worried, cos they probably wont be able to train with the team, which will further deplete the squad. Shit.

On the other hand my bro is doing realli well, 2 Bs and topping RJ in GP. Not bad at all.

I'm also thinking about tomorrow's maths results. Shit lar, I dont wanna do badly or anything. Crap. School sux.

I am burnt 2 shades of brown, I think I have one of the clearest sock lines around, man I took a look today at it after open house and it was almost as if my skin has a clearly demarcated line around the ankle.

Open House was enjoyable, we took down the details of a bout 30 girls, and like I told the team in the de-brief, if even one of the girls comes and joins the team it will realli be something. The commitment shown by everybody today was realli great, and the enormity of the moment did not dawn on me until after the open house was over. I realised that a Girls Soccer booth had never been opened in the 21 years of VJC's existence and this was the first time, so I think it was a massive effort by all the girls and I applaud them for dat.

A few things still worry me, well actually oen thing lar, dat is the issue of the running of the team. There seems to be no catalyst in the team, no person who says, hey lets do this! Lets go makan! Who wants to kick around after training! Even if it happens its not obvious enough, and I'm a little upset at this problem as it will prove to be crucial in the long term. She FOng is not getting her hands dirty enough in the team, she needs to be more present instead of being there and not there. But I dont blame her, the poor girl has so much to cope with. Anyways, the girls marketing techniques were great and I loved the publicity posters done by Miss Steph Woo! Now officially our VJC Poster girl! Hahaha.

Oh well, I can feel my neck ready to peel by tom, sigh, now its off to do MA again, was planning to watch midnight show of flightplan, but decided against it so I can do some work. Sigh, why is it always about work? Bleargh.

Training on monday! Midterm results on Tuesday! MA midterm on wed! Floorball and soccer on Friday!

Bring it on.

I dont know what has possessed me to start writing again, maybe its just dat for the first time in about a month i feel not bad, ok well I feel good. Of cos its not cos of studies or anything, but rather the things outside it.

Today we had a floorball comp, started with a 3-0 loss, then won 2-0, then lost 3-1. Luckily they took the 3 best teams and we got thru. Irony was, we actually got into the quarters and won 3-2 against a whole team of floorballers! So now we're thru the semifinals against a group of animals, made up of soccer players. And looking forward to it.

My team is Daniel VJ, Ling RJ and Wen Duan RJ, the guys ive known for a while so no surprises. but Ling is realli realli good, damn committed to the cause, and I respect her tremendously for dat, this girl will do realli well in life, dat i can tell.

Besides dat, tom I will also be heading down to VJ for the girls open house, realli looking forward to dat, sure i pro wont noe anyone, but never mind lar, my girls are eveyrhting dat i need, and theyre the reason i go backto vj anyways. Training will start on monday anyways, so I'm looking forward to it.

IPPT is on 09 Nov, so i better shape up in 3 weeks time, just try lar for gold, if canot get gold then nemind too bad, cos I din have too much time to prepare anyways.

Oh well dats it for now, still thinking if I should go and watch cinderella man tonight cos I'm just no in the mood for studying, hmmm let me keep thinkin lar.

Out.
