sem1 week10

it is already the last week of semester 1. amazing how time has passed by so quickly. i went to the coveted overseas secondary 3 camp at Mersing, enjoyed myself like the students (i was often mistaken to be a student by the external instructors) yet slept in the resort instead of in the tents. got myself a glorious tan despite slathering myself with sunblock.

our school finally hosted the North Zone B boys soccer tournament on our 2 year old artificial pitch. it was a good thing to host as it really rallied the rest of the school to support the boys. i was tasked to conduct PSME lessons, represented the other 2 when meeting with parents and building rapport with the darlings of my class.

with the new English syllabus, i was given a lighter marking load for the recent exams. got that done almost immediately after receiving the scripts. proud of myself!

nevertheless, i am welcoming this june holidays with open arms. well almost. i am quite heartbroken and i am guessing i will be quite lonely. hah. but, me, being the independent and positive person that i am, has plans lined up for me! travel plans have finally been confirmed and i am excited just to get out of here for awhile.

oh! last Saturday, after a very long time, i went to the Esplanade. i was there to watch horses! yes, horses! it was the Singapore Arts Festival and i found out that there was going to be a performance with real horses. titled Flux, it was performed by a French husband and wife team. the play explored the ideas if Centaurs lived amongst us. half of it was in French and i barely understood the whole thing. i was particularly mesmerised by how they handled the beasts while acting. it was truly amazing how they coordinated with the majestic stallions. rather disappointing that i didnt understand the whole play, but it was a delightful sight to see the horses upclose.

soccer wise, things took a different turn last Sunday. due to a tummy upset earlier in the day, i was not playing my usual game. not helping than Don came late and i had to cover her position. i have been so used to the central position it took some time to adapt. we were down 4-0 to Young Women when lightning struck. eventually the game was cancelled and it has been postponed to be played next Wednesday, much to our delight. given a second chance, i hope i will be all better to play my all. also, hopefully continue my scoring streak.

by the way, i scored again, last Wednesday against Winchester at Jalan Besar. it was a fluke actually. haha. i meant to pump the ball back to their half but it went all the way to their post after lobbing their keeper. still, a goal is a goal and my name is on the scorers' list! and that only comes once every 10 years? i cannot even remeber the last time i scored!

the right side

so as i said, i scored yesterday. just like Vincent Kompany against United last 2 weeks. by the way, Manchester City has been crowned BPL champions 2011/2012 last night Singapore time.

i scored a header from Nani's corner. felt so goood when i got it right. first corner, coach told me to stand outside the box and run in as Nani delivered. connected with the ball but i glanced up, making it go wide. opponents were definitely smart as everyone stood by the far post. told Nani to cut it short this time and aim for the near post instead. same thing, i waited by the box, ran in as she kicked and i nodded it home.

thought i did an okay job yesterday. but opponents were rough and referee was not kind. i got a lot of knocks, especially on the right side of my body. my head, my arm, chest, knee and toe. i feel like a car wreck today. going down the stairs hurt the knee a lot. can't help thinking of Dr Jimmy.

it's barely 9am and i wish i am at home in an ice tub (not that i have that).

there you go, an update of a soccer match. been a looooooong time since i did that huh. i just realised this week will be crazy. wednesday at Jalan Besar and then sunday at Meridian. fun fun fun. ill probably skip one training to rest the right knee. oh! tuesday, normal lessons and CCA resume. so many things to look forward to... help me get distracted..

it's just another sunday

i did think about buying ibu a gift. but i feel like this year it's weird to be celebrating mothers' day. mother's day. im not being fair to ibu. but lately, things have been messy and.. im not happy. so yeah.

now i feel bad. ibu has fallen sick. :(

i scored a goal by the way. a header from Nani's corner.
