Looking for a light

No Rest

Firstly, my one sunday of rest before the week starts again is going to the dogs cos I have to use it to prepare and read and research and what have you before the deadline tomorrow. I am realli running close to empty now trying to balance to balance school and work. And on the tuition front, exactly half of my students are doing well, and another half not so well, sighz, super stressed up now.

Nevertheless, I am glad that yesterday was over. It was a nice day, and ultimately God again blessed us and showed us the road to the final. The match was an intense one, and I was again very humbled and inspired by the TJC girls, and my friend and coach Melvin, indeed Mel you have taken the team to another level which no medal in the world can ever replace and I am very proud of you. Also, we were able to share not a bottle of wine, but good talk over mee rebus and ice lemon tea! I will take that anytime. I heard them singing some funny song about the soccer team after that and it was realli inspiring to me how much strength they showed given the situation.

The team knew how they did, and I also know that they are intent on doing better, just one last time for the finals against SA, who are indeed as strong a team as they have traditionally been. Nevertheless as I later told the supporters, I could not promise anything but the fact that we will all try our very best.

Night time was spent talking to Gavin, who came over to watch the match. To be honest, we spent more time talking than absorbing the match and it was nice to strike conversation so easily. THe match itself was crap and man u din desreve to win anywayz, I only feel sorry for Wayne Rooney, the only person I can say was trying his best in the whole match. The goal was well taken as well, so no complaints there. Just couldnt stand Mourinho gloating about the six cups he has won, can u imagine if Sir Alex did the same? He would not have enough fingers on his hand. A win is a win though no complaints.

At the end of the day, I thankfully have another week with the team, and this will be our last week together as VJSG 06-07. So let us just train our hardest and ensure that at the end of the day, our tanks would have been completely emptied and our hearts full because we know we tried our best and we could not have given anymore.

Onward girls, onward.

Behold! We have given you a clear victory that you may be absolved of the sins of your past and those yet to follow and that the Lord may perfect His favor to you and guide you and assist you with His invincible helping hand. It is but He who fills the hearts of the believers with peace and reassurance and adds strength to their conviction. Allah's are the legions of the heavens and the earth. He alone is the Knowing, Wise.

- Qur'an, Al-Fath, Surah 48:1-4

Thank you God.

Out.
