Flush Me Away

an afternoon on NYE
Wednesday, December 31, 2003

it's new year eve today and i've been studying o'lvl books for the whole afternoon now.. wad a way to spend my NY eve, right? hahahh... well, i'm doing it for the sake for being a "better" tutor blah blah blah. and i juz got another sec3 student recently, which means i got two sec3 students under me now(one is frm the express stream while the other one is frm normal acd). currently considering giving both of them a twice-per-week session so we will have enough time to cover the subjects. however, it means i'll be giving tuition for 4 days in a week and my life will be greatly affected! ie. tv, internet, sleep, ps2, slack, stone, etc...

haiz~ so stress staring at the books! *yucks* luckily it's kinda like a refreshing practice for me.. but i do encountered one or two tricky problems tat take me longer to solve.. arrgghhh!!

well, the main motivation for going through all these is getting more personal allowance. heez!! so many stuffs tat i wanna buy in the new yr before school starts! for that, i shall continue to be a good tutor!

*back to the books*

bought a pair a mizuno soccer boots and nike duffle bag frm queensway. preferred the bag to be red at first but feel tat black is easier to match wif clothings. i didnt get the addidas predator mania boots tat i wanted cos it's too exp! search high and low for a better-for-value one and finally laid my eyes on a pair white silvery mizuno boots.

danny and i bought a molten beach volleyball too.. now we can practise together first before heading down to ssb! yeah.. love all the items i bought todae.. money well spent!

heart at cross-road
Monday, December 15, 2003

confuse.. lost.. unforgivable.. coward.. weak... powerless..... helpless.. i'm not in any depression or anything, dont worry. juz unable to answer some thoughts at the moment (this "moment" seems to have lasted for yrs now).

have u ever come across a situation in ur life, when u cant love the person who u love so deeply? u challenge to believe in true lasting love...... but in this harsh real world, there isnt a place for sweet fairytale story. ppl change, so do hearts.

boonlay soccer mania (part 2)
Sunday, December 07, 2003

played against a younger team at boonlay pri todae. they doned an orange outfit and we were in our usual white and blue! match delayed for an hr before kick off due to the irresponsibilities of the late-comers (sadly, all frm my team). ref is a lanky indian man. look sterm and serious!!

*beeeeeeeeeep*

opponents kicked off but we intercepted quickly. many high balls were exchanged during the first half and hr. not much a problem for me as i'm quite comfortable with aerial balls. i made some impressive clearances but were oso caught for my slow reaction on a couple of occassions. dunno why todae i was rather lazy to pick up my pace and make chases.

then i got a chance to sprint down the left flank after collecting a loose ball frm the midfield. an opposition closed me down. all the way to the other penalty box and i unleashed a cross. no! it came off the defender's leg. wad a waste!

gk daniel rushed out to make a clearance and collided wif the opponent. the ref decided to give a penalty. *bangz* daniel got it all right in diving low to his right. saved the ball and our morale was sky high!!

jeff scored our first goal 10 minutes before the interval. he dribbled down the right and hardly got any space to shoot. but to everyone surprises, he squeezed in a goal frm a really tight angel! *applause* we played even better after the goal. stroke ard confidently and looking dangerously for a second goal. YES!! we got it! this time frm our no.10 skriker. actually cant rem how he scored too.. heez *i was dreaming at the back then*

*beeeep beeeep* half-time.. finished a whole bottle of water. thought i made a mistake in doing so. btw, i'm very satified wif myself and the team's performance. sitting comfortably at 2-0.

*beeeeeeeeeeeep* second half got underway..

the opponents took on a more offensive tactics. they got nothing to lose at 2 goals down i guess. their striker no.1 gave me a real hard time! so big in size and still managed to turn and sprint! he got some really close chances before i decided to devote my entire play marking him! managed to keep him out for a gd period of time.

few minutes later, ah fang, who played centre-back alongside wif me, handled the ball accidentally and conceded the second penalty of the game for the opponent. this time daniel didnt manage to save it although he dived in the correct direction. 2-1 the scoreline...

the no.1 striker continued to give me problems and i even suffered a blow on the face frm his swinging elbow. *ouch* towards the last few minutes, the opponent right winger sent in a high cross into our box. in an attempt to intercept it, i ross high into the air and made contact with the ball. *peachz* i headed the ball away wif a header. however the ball went the wrong direction towards my own goal. *pammz* it hit the cross-bar and flew high into the air. it then came down to an opponent who slotted it into an empty net. wad a sitter for them! daniel made an attempt but he cant do anything abt it. i felt sorry for myself and the team. wonder wad wld have happened if i chose to leave the ball alone...

*beeeeep beeeeeeeep* full time! 2-2.

soccer is such a beautiful game. one moment u r up there, the next u can be so low. emotions are put into it! though we didnt manage to win it, i'm still glad tat i've played the whole game. there are still so much more abt my game tat i think i can improve.

might be gg down to marina south to play next sunday. till then!

想哭 - 陳奕迅

想約在一個適合聊天的下午
分開很多年滿以為沒有包袱
我還打算回顧我們為何結束
還想問你是不是一個人住
當你的笑容給我禮貌的招呼
當我想訴說這些年來的感觸
你卻點了滿桌我最愛的食物
介紹我看一本天文學的書

我想哭不敢哭難道這種相處
不像我們夢寐以求的幸福
走下去這一步是寬容還是痛苦
我想哭怎麼哭完成愛情旅途
談天說地是最理想的出路
談音樂談時事不說愛
若無其事原來是最狠的報復

當我想坦白我們的樂多于苦
你說水星它沒有衛星好孤獨
我才明白時間較分手還殘酷
老朋友了再沒資格不滿足

若無其事原來是最狠的報復
