What A Day
Yesterday was a realli interesting day, it was packed full of activities, and my day only really ended close to midnight. I was really tired, more so mentally than physically, but overall I would say that it was a good day.First up in the morning was the match, in which the bus came late, and to make matters worse, I actually delayed the bus when I realised I haven't printed out the team sheets. Only when I arrived did they tell me they actually printed it out for us in case we forgot. Crap.
The match was a lesson learnt. Kudos seriously to the RJ girls, for always harassing us, never giving up, and taking their chances, and for great spirit as well. Although I was a bit puzzled a guy would not allow us to stand in their half, as in on the outside of the field, but I respected it enough to adhere to that demand. Their supporters were very spirited as well, and I was within earshot of many jibes directed at me. But as I later realised, I would have done the same if I saw some bugger endlessly shouting nearby. I would ask him to shut up as well. Haha, but I guess dats what I am in for, for not being quiet.
Overall, I thought it was a good test for us, and I have a lot of respect for our opponents as well. I forgot to ask though the coach how he could tahan to wear that jacket in the sweltering heat! And with all due respect to SR, who were very happy and actually came up to want to shake my hand after the match (which i of course had to reject), I think that it will be a realli tough fight for them against the Rafflesians. I'm not really rooting for either team though, I think both deserve it and God's plan will prevail ultimately.
As for me, I was very disappointed in myself for one reason, because in the moment that the goal was let in, I was kinda blanked out, and I felt really horrible, but I am disappointed because in all that I failed to care for the team and try to pick them up. I didnt put them down but I didnt t pick them up in the moments just after. However, Beng reacted quickest and Kuan Ren's actions said it all, as she gesticulated to the rest to keep going. Beng looked at me and told me "Bro, 10 minutes, got time," and only with that did I wake my own idea up.
At the end of the day I thank god for allowing me to see things and for reminding me to stay humble, for keeping our players safe and for giving me great people who inspire me. I remember feeling very inconsolable for not being able to live up to my word yesterday, I remember telling myself that a man's word was the most important thing he could own, but what XL said to me thereafter realli rang a bell in me, and told myself that I had to do what I had to do at the time. I realli appreciate it XL.
Thereafter I had to rush to buy assessment books and then to tuition, where I almost dozed off cos I was so tired from thinking about things. Tuition could not have ended more quickly and I went home to get ready for dinner with the rest of the family at some restaurant near Heeren, then it was a mad rush to the Esplanade for Phantom. We sat in the stalls, just a few rows away, had a very good view, cost luckily there were no tall people in front of me, if not sure die. The show was great and the sets were breathtaking seriously, how they simulated stuff and transformed the stage was incredible. Shux though the programs cost 25 bux, which my brother bought and the drinks were mostly wine, so I had to settle for the good old water cooler. Overall though, it was an amazing experienec, my first time watching anything at the esplanade, and was worth everything including the 20 buck cab home. Thanx for the tickets Aunty!
Yesterday was a day where I learnt a lot about myself, and I will do my best to learn from it and become a better leader.
