Thanx Adolf
Just came home not an hour ago to find that adolf was dying, his body was cold and he was barely breathing.
Uni was over moments later, but adolf didnt make it, just as azizul was bravely attempting to comeback all the way from Yio Chu kang and Uni was getting ready to bring him to the vet. Im realli realli sad now, as in extremely cos over the past 9-10 days me and adolf have had a kinship, and even though its been just 9-10 days, i never had a better kitten, and will never have one as well, i remember him always trying to cuddle up to me, and lying in my lap when I was doing my work. Dats adolf. Uni is crying now, but i refuse to cos I have to be strong for her. Inside im hurting though, but its ok. Uni is most impt.
Alwyas the noisy one. How things turn around. Now Musso is lonely and he was always the one who tried to cover adolf, in recent days to make sure A wasnt cold. I think he feels lonely now, rather docile, I hope we can do something to bring Josef over.
Adolf, I believe died of "fading kitten syndrome" which is usually attributed to inherent defects at birth. I realli firmly believe I have done all that I can do, but somehow being away at training thso few critical hours where I wasnt around, was what counted. But its realli nobodys fault, i think such things happen, just sad dat it had to me.
But most imptly, when i volunteered to take them in, I did so fully knowing that they may die in my care. So this is what I have to face, and I accept it.
Out.Here's to you adolf. Thanx for everything.
2 things
2 things to talk about.
1) Today there was an article in the Newpaper about a woman (if im not wrong she is a single parent) who spent 8000 freaking bux for her son's circumcision ceremony. See this is precisely why we are where we are, cos ppl dunno where to spend the money, always trying to do things out of their reach. Just like my parents. Bought a 3000 buck air-con system i dunno what the fuck for when only they use, and keep insisting that we all must try and utilise it, i mean cmon lar, the 3000 bucks could have been saved, invested, used to pay off something else, like maybe my school fees and such, but we have to waste on air-conditioning. And weddings below the block, i dunno why must try and invite the whole of Singapore, but I feel that its almost as if since there can be nothin else you can be proud of in your life you have to make it up on your wedding day. i feel weddings, grand ones are always nice, just dat there is no point splurging if you cant afford it. When will ppl ever learn seriously.
2) I have deep respect for mr. man, i will just call him dat cos i wanna leave you guys to figuring out hwo it sis though its damn obvious. Anyways he has a good heart, and I know he is always trying to help, but sometimes he just goes overboard lar, to me, and I feel like telling him to f off. For example today as I was talking to the girls about VJC and trying to promote both the school and the cca, you cant just come along and start asking them about their marks and rate their chances to coming to VJ. I mean they are already aware of it in the first place dont you think? He needs to learn to be a hell of a lot more tactful as well as fairer to people, to me dat is his greatest weakness, Im far from perfect myself, but to me, you cannot treat everybody completely 100% fairly, but the least you could do is not be so obivous in doing it. That being said, I just wish dat part of him will change. I was realli upset about wat happened today, and had to do some damage control almost immediately, problem is well, you cant really say things when you're in a structure and organisation lar.
Now i understand why Lombardi insisted on being both the coach and manager of the packers.
To avoid shit like this.

International Friendly
Yesterday, I went to tampines stadium to watch the game btw the Singapore national women's team and some Vietnam club. The score ended 2-1 to the Viet's but most honestly speaking it could have been 5-1 or 6-1. Truth be told though, the Viet's were wasteful in attack and Singaproe could have well scraped away with a draw.
A few things were apparent.
1) The viet girls were very composed
2) They were faster
3) They were fitter
4) There was much more chemistry
But I thought the Singapore girls gave a decent account themselves especially in the 2nd half, when they began to relax. I felt it was rather naive to play 1 striker upfront smaller than eileen against a stronger team, but well dats the coaches choice I guess. But I firmly believe that the Singapore girls are just as skilful but perhaps were a bit nervous in the atmosphere so resorted to pumping long balls.
I was happy they scored though, and they clearly enjoyed it too, celebrated as if they just won the world cup.
One funny incident was the hecklers in the crowd, which some of the girls didnt realli appreciate. But as I told them, they were just saying wat was prob. on everybody's mind, albeit in a coarse way. But wats a game without such colourful characters.
The women's dept. at FAS has come under some stick recently in their tagboard. Read shekickstoo.blogspot.com
Dont think they realli deserve it though cos this year the publicity for the game has realli gone up and so has participation I feel. But well to each his own. Perhaps some day I can be of use to the dept. but for now, I'm not.
Thanx to all those who came yest, it was good to see all of you make your way down, even those like Jasmine and Dorcas who live so far away. Wouldnt have happened last season or the season before (no offence seniors but i think you'll agree too) and of course to the sec fours as well.
Appreciate it.

Retail Therapy - Financial Depression
I just spent another 90 bringing up my total to 180-190 bux of spending on adidas goods, three tops, two shorts and one bag. Aiyah what the hell lar, its such a major weakness of mine but today when I stepped into the Adidas sale, I was stunned and I knew I was in Adidas heaven. Deb summed it up best exlaiming,
"I dunno where to start!!".In the end I more or less got the things I wanted, only disappointed I din get the spain jersey which I realli realli wanted, and a black pair of soccer shorts, but man, I feel like crap now considering the lack of income due to the tuition break. But anyhow, its good to spend on yourself once in a while, I just have to be really careful my funds dont drop. At least the investments are doing well so dats a comforting thought. Other than dat, its been a good break from tuition and im in a midst on planning the inaugural year end camp this year. Yup.
Its realli amazing when u consider how hard they train ALMOST everyday yet they attack each training and each activity as if they are doing it for the first time. I was realli realli gutted with what I had to do today, but I guess it comes with the territory lar. Other than dat, u guys make my day. Looking forward to when we are all back together again in about 3 weeks time, its gonna be a lonely week ahead.
Uni you ALWAYS make my day. Well almost lar, until we get pissed over some stupid reason. haha, but other than dat thanx for taking care of musso and adolf!
I tell you, its always a sign on how conditioned/disciplined a team is, when u ask a person to "give me 30" and she starts running immediately to do 30 rounds around the field instead of just 30 push ups. Then again it could be a reflection on how bonkers the team ahs gone with training.
Jing u make me cry and laugh at the same time lar. LOL. U da woman.

The Ultimate Disrespect
whatever you do, don't cross your team mates, in front of other people, tell them still but tel them in private.
And of cos, don't cross your coach in front of your team mates, dat is the ultimate disrespect.
I believe in the context of a team and of heirarchy, there must always be room for criticisms and stuff, just that you have to be careful about it.
It's realli a funny world, when those you choose to fight for turn a blind eye and ignore it.
But on second thoughts I realli invited this to happen.
No more, it ends from tomorrow.
No more.

The Axis Powers
Shux man its realli tough playing a dad to the two kittens dat me and my brothers have affectionately named
adolf and
musso. Seriously I dunno why and where we came up wif dat name, but somehow it has stuck, so yah dat will be their names for now, though it will be realli awkward calling for them. They're finally quiet now, have been noisy the whole day cos nobody was around to care for them. And they keep crawling all over me, adolf loves to crawl up my shirt for god noes wat reason, I guess cos they dont realli have a mom or something, but well, I cannot have him sleeping somewher in the midst of my shirt cos of fear of crushing him when I fall asleep. Anyways I've been awake realli early nowadays cos once they get fed at about 6am, they just refuse to sleep, and dat means I cant sleep too.
Oh well, today I just could not help myself and splurged on Adidas merchandise at the sale, feel like crap now, but well it was a good opp. to spend on something for myself, which I rarely do anyway.

How to Save A Life
Seriously, everytime me and the girls talk about scary things like ghosts, pontianaks and stuff, its always at the most unlikely of places, like yesterdae was in the middle of the day in a busy KFC, and the other time was at the airport canteen. What the....
But I realised that it still freaks you out, if you listen intently enough.
On another note, theres big news at my place now, check out my bro's blog at devil-morgue.blogspot, we have two new family members and we are doing all we can to make sure they will continue living with us for time to come. Things are pretty precarious now because they are young, but I will be rushin to a vet/pet shop as soon as I can to make sure they wil be saved.

Family Planning
I am really amazed at footballer's lives, somnetimes I realli wish that we can find out some more about how they live their life outside of the football matches thayt we watch them on.
Damn shocked to find out that Patrice Evra is married with a kid, shux man, so many of them are married at such a young age, I was also shocked that Tevez is also married with a kid, I thought 21-23 year p;ds should be enjoying nights out on a town? Hmmm.... oh well, when you're earning in a week what people earn in a year I guess fmaily planning is not so much of a n issue.
Ohter than that things are pretty busy now, stank up a bus yesterday cos I had no time to chnage after training before heading to class, oh well. Think I need to makle an effort to make it to class earlier next term.
Dats all for now, good news is that my favourite sites are already showing season 3 of DH and Lost. But I will only watch them after this coming week, darn hectic.

T-9
Its been a while since I spoke about training, but well here goes. The past week I feel was a good week for training, my only qualm was attendance, and at times I must admit I was so highly frustrated that I thought cancelling training would be a better option. But then, I remembered that the ppl who were present were not the ones to blame, and so decided to train with them. the good thing is that at least concerning the training we were doing, the numbers were ok. Smoetimes I feel things are too disruptive, as in there's too much stuff, and at times, I just wish I could tell someone to like wak up their idea and come for training.
But that has never been my way, and I am proud to say in all this time I have never stopped any girl from leaving the training ground, though I must say I will do so soon if some of them continue with their conduct. Its just that I personally feel that the player should make the decision for herself if she wants to stay on the field. It would be different if they were being paid or something, but since they're not, it would be best if they stayed because they want to, and went because they didnt. At the end of the day, time will always seperate those that will play for the team and those who do not.
But other than that, I find myself being much better organised this time round compared to the last hols. Its tough trying to cope with stuff, and I absolutely resent people coming to me and asking how come I'm so free.
Its not that I am, its just that I make the time dats all.
Of cos not having tuition for the next month and a half will give me that extra time but seriously I need the break, cos after this it will be 10 months straight with about a weeks break at most. So well, I welcome this break, but no the dip in income.
Other than that, training has been great and so has the team. If you guys are reading this, its been a great joy training and interacting with you guys, sometimes I wish this coach-player dynamic wasnt there, but then again, perhaps its meant to be, for now.
Only time will tell.Out.
