as i slowly recover from the ankle injury that has been bothering me for the past 2 mths... im' also beginning to enjoy soccer more...
better first touches... and i can finally shoot with my right foot after using my left for the past few weeks...
soccer today was fun... wldn't say it was spectacular but at least i managed to get away with quite a number of goals and assists... out of which three of them were like rather nice goals i managed to create myself... its been a long time since i scored so many, and even if i did score last wk, it was quite routine tap ins, or one on ones.... so i'm rather pleased with today!
----------
i think we are all getting old...
i've been noticing that all us guys are slowly feeling the after effects of soccer...
javin with his ankle injury, detong as well... michael with his aches, eugene and his "playing soccer will make u tired"... me with my slipped disc and sharp pains around the spine after soccer, etc.
i was thinking during lunch just now...
its amazing how sunday soccer has been a ongoing affair with all of us guys...
and its also one of the reasons why we are still keepin in touch...
as we all start to get busy with school, and in the near future, work... i believe that sunday soccer would be the thing that lets us stay in touch with each other's lifes...

speaking of which, i watched "watchmen" with mich two nights back... and the movie ended at like.. 5am?? i was totally falling asleep while driving... :S movie's nice! but i think its M18 bcoz of the violence, gore and sex in it... there was lots of blood... and its definitely not recommended for anyone who has just eaten a full meal or sth...

(backtracks a few more days)
i had to deal with a difficult student recently during my choir..
and like i mentioned before...
sometimes i wonder how kids nowadays think...
i remember being taught by mrs lee lee mui last time.. my physics teacher.
she was fierce, overbearing, and somewhat scary and threatening.
everyone kept quiet during lessons, but hardly any of us enjoyed physics...
den i remember miss toh... my chemistry teacher.
who was just easy going.. nice... etc...
but because of how nice she was... nobody listened to her.everybody treated her like a fren.
but i enjoyed chemistry to a certain extent...
its important to find a balance i guess...
work is work, play is play.
there always has to be a distance btwn a teacher n a student...
but my philosophy and rationale behind my easy-going nature still remains the same:
that is.
singing should be fun.
it should be relaxing.
singing in a grp itself is an art...
and when beautiful voices merge together.
we shld all immerse ourselves in the wonderful harmonies, etc.
its the same for pioneer's choir.
everyone should enjoy everyone's company.
it doesnt matter if they win COP, or bronze, or silver...
but when we all look back, we should remember the beautiful memories that we had together..
results are secondary.
but the friendships and ties that emerge frm the weekly practices would be sth that stays in ur mind when u grow older...
with all the politics and problems in my choir now...
i'm not even sure if i'm doin things right.
maybe i'm not.
maybe i was just too nice when i started.
and now when everyone starts climbing over you, it gets harder to get the respect an instructor should get from his students...
-----------
and yah...
i'm choosing to ignore it.
but hell is breaking soon...
project deadlines, individual assignment deadlines, and the much dreaded exams...
i haven't started studying. i haven't read my readings.
i won't be interning this 3 mths vacations...
and i probably would be stayin at home every single day..
so i decided to forego my holidays to study an extra special holiday semester...
meanwhile, i have made half baked plans to go overseas with either qing, mich or vio...
not sure if anything would materialise though...
sent her an email a few days back...
i'm still waiting for your reply...
you did mention we could still be friends didn't u?
----------
time to rest and prepare for another tiring week of school...
1 mth to choir's SYF.
1.5 mths to exams.
i'm not superman you know...
