Random Week Review
Again, I'm away from blogging for the past 2 weeks and I'm back to type my summarised reviews on what had happened during the past few weeks. Anyway, I'll try to be short here. Since right now I'm watching Liverpool vs. Toulouse at this hour, I decided to update this blog with a new entry. Haha... I need to store some information in my blog or else I wont be able to recall anything in a few days time due to old age. Alright, here it goes...
Date: 18th August 2007I had to wake up in the morning as there's a soccer match held in Yishun. I was asked to play for Eugene friend's team, which was Rafie. Anyway, I got to meet Jimmy at Yishun MRT Station, after that meeting Kian Wee, Eugene and Rafie before heading to the pitch. The pitch was quite alright at its sides but quite sandy in the middle.
Anyway, after a change of boots and some warm up, I was asked to play in the left back position, which is one of my weakest positions ever. Reason for that was simple; I'm not a natural left footed and I'm a right footed player. What's worst is that I cant cross the ball well and I'm an attacking minded person. However, since no one can play left back, and with my SINGLE experience in M.I. soccer team, playing in left back position, I decided to give it a try.
They say 'You will never know until you give it a try.' I believe in that but I guess its either you are played in that position as no one can play for it, or you are the best candidate for it. If you cant play for it, it means you must start to learn the basics and work hard to be capable of playing at that position. If you are good, then it means you are at your best and no one can replace you for that position. Well, let's continue instead...
The match started off with the 1st half scoreline, with us losing our opponents by 2-1. Well, I managed to come close with a header but missed it. My bad, at least I tried. While for Eugene, who scored with a long range effort, that makes one goal up for our own Goal Tally for 2007'. With a half-time of a length 45 minutes as other teams are using the pitch, I guess even Alex Ferguson will enjoy that duration of the half-time. I guess all the players could have a break or take a nap before heading into the 2nd half.
2nd hlaf begins with a BANG! Chances were there and we managed to win 4-3 for the game. I did tried to score but failed to do so as my shot was weak. Well, at least I feel that my passing was quite alright in that position but not the crossing, as usual. I guess its time for me to train my left foot and my strength. I gonna go to the gym for a work out, maybe nex week.
After the match, Chris and Jia Long came. They wanted to play basketball but due to some urgent matters, I had to head straight home. After a change of clothes, I went back to Yishun again, this time for a party celebration. It was Ms Tan and Geneviene's birthday party, organised by Ruo Ling. We celebrated their birthdays earlier as others are busy with exams and some with their studies.
Anyway, while waiting for the train to Yishun, I saw her... yeah... her... she was like a door away from me??!! I didnt notice her until I saw Diyana, which was her friend. Well, just a few glimpse at her but I guess I cant say much since strangers is what we are destinied to be. Its a good thing that she notice me but things are still very cold between us. Anyway, I do feel weird when I see her... very weird... I cant explain that but the feeling is totally different. Well, it doesnt matter anymore, let's move on.
I reached the tuition centre to help out and we were all getting ready for the party. Jacinth said I did not change at all. I was thinking... of course, you wont see the change in me since we are in the same Polytechnic and you do see me frequently. LOL!! Well, the plot was to let Ms Tan and Geneviene to enter the centre as the reason for that is that Mr Ong has forgotten to switch off the air conditoner. Sounds like a lame excuse but worthwhile trying. Well, everything work perfectly well but slow. It took about a few minutes for Ms Tan to realised that everyone is hiding in the room until she enters in. Gosh... For me, I was waiting till I'm feeling sleepy. The lights were off and I had a match earlier that makes me even more tired. Haha...
After the surprise, it was time for steamboat. Everyone enjoyed the feast and after the feast, some were singing under the microphone. Cool!! Its been awhile since I get into such events. Anyway, time for the cake cutting and everyone was getting high, singing loudly and lively. I was also the cheeky one but I still try to control myself. Haha... I can go haywire if the partying cotinues. Around 11 plus, Yong Hong and I went back home while the rest went to Safra for a Karaoke session till 2am. Both of us need to start studying our exam so the fun is short-lived. Well, I wanted to study after my shower but guess what, I sat on the sofa, with the fan blowing my hair. 3 minutes later.... K-O-ED!! Gosh... How to start studying??!!
Date: 19th - 24th August 2007
Like it or not, exams is this week. I have not studying much lately. I think I have been too lazy for this semester. I slacked alot, which Kenny had told me about himself doing that too. I guess everyone got fed up with the projects and we just need a week's off to regain our consiousness and get ready for exam fever. Well, at least Sunday night and Monday morning I managed to study with Raymond, Kairul and James for Business Finance. Well, I just give a few things about the respective papers.
Business Finance (Tuesday) - I have difficulties doing the paper and after doing it, I felt that I'm losing the momentem. I screw up the last question and 35 marks were gone. Luckily I did quite well for my project and both ICAs or else I will fail miserably. Nevermind, try harder for the next paper.
Business Law (Wednesday) - HAHA!! That was a simple paper, at least I know how to do it. The last section was a big scare, thanks to our lecturer who said "Bang on Sales of Goods and Trademark. They will come out in the exams." Alright, once you flip to Section C, you first saw the question asking 'What is Copyright?' OMG!!! You cant start doing the paper anymore. Luckily if you read the last 2 question, Sales of Goods is there. Anyway, thtat lecturer is deadmeat this time. For giving the wrong information, he surely get it from us. LOL!! Kidding...
EFMA (Thursday) - Disaster paper that makes me lose my appetite for eating. There are 5 questions in the paper and I know how to do one vut might do wrongly. The rest of the 4 questions, its all done in a mess. I was totally freak out after the paper. I went to meet Kenny and Andy in the North Canteen for a coffee break but as I ate my noodles and they discussing the paper together, swallowing my noodles is so difficult. The answers they give makes you feel so pressurised and in the end, I excused myself and left NYP. What a paper... Killer paper...
Sport & Wellness Management (Friday) - I did manage to study the facts well but guess what, no matter how much you study, it doesnt mean that you know everything. The concepts are there but they played with us with its English and I have a hard time understanding it. In the end, the paper was aBAD one, with many blanks in my mind. I guess Sport and Wellness, our main paper in our diploma, isnt a good paper at all too. Its double the blow, yet the ending of the exam fever.
Well, like it or not, after a week's agony, exam fever is over and holidays are here. However, the pain will be back once we get our results. I dont want to know and I dont wish to know. This is quite irritating. I hope the next class of our batch will enjoy next semester, while we gonna do our TEP. Haha... I just cant wait for it I guess... Happy holidays to all.
Date: 24th August 2007Once I end the Sport & Wellness paper, I went to meet Xin Ni to visit her Sister's pub. Yeah! Today isthe official opening of her Sister's pub and I just followed her to give her Sister the support, also to accompany her since she was the only person going. Te Seng just left us behing, with an excuse of 'No money and time'. Great... He was the one who ask me to go and in the end, it turn out to be him who left me alone.
Anyway, once we reached Bugis, we took a bus to our destination. However, we were lost for 20 minutes. Walking in circles around the streets and well, turning to the corner again and again. Well, by then, when we reached the pub, we were too exhausted but nevermind, at least we reach the place. Business hasnt start yet but Xin Ni and I went to help out as they need to purchase some stuff from the nearby 7-Eleven. Well, after doing some errands, we went back to 7-Eleven to eat something light. I didnt have my lunch for the whole day due to the revision of my exam paper. Haha.... Stress I guess...
Business starts at 9pm and yet very little people came in. Xin Ni, my cheeky god-sis, went to choose some songs for me to sing for Karaoke. Gosh! I dont want to sing but in the end, not to upset her, I started to sing. 1st song; Jian Jian Dan Dan; which I'm not good with my high notes. Haha... Slowly and steady, I managed to sing the songs well. Then, this guy who is Xin Ni's sister's friend (Long relationship... LOL!!) invite me for a song and gave me a cup of wine. Now that's a serious problem.
I'm a weak drinker and I dont drink too much except for occasions and I had to drink the whole cup. Haix... Luckily, the guy said he helped me drink 1/2 of the cup and I was glad. Guess what??!! He took a single shot and there it goes, 1/2 cup!!! SO FAST??!!! Haix... I have to drink the wine slowly but end up the gals drinking for me. I felt so bad that night since the gals keep drinking. Now I understand how tough life can be as a person who serves drinks for customers. You need to keep drinking with them, which its not good for health. If its my girlfriend, I guess I would ask her to quit the job and another one or else, I will just take care of her. Seriously, I see the pain of gals working in such lines.
Well, song after song, I slowly enjoy the whole thing but I had to reach home as soon as possible as Mum and Sister hasnt ate dinner at all. I left the pub at 10pm and to keep myself awake after drinking 'too much', I ran to the MRT station. A good feeling which keeps me awake for a moment. Haha... Once I reached Sembawang, I went to buy Macdonalds for them. While buying, I got to see my Sister's classmates so had a short chat with them. I didnt know that they know my habits that well, saying that I took 2 hours to deliver their meals the previous time. Guess after hearing that, I rushed back to make a speedy delivery to my hungry dearies. Haha...
Date: 25th August 2007They said massage is a good way of relaxation but I got the taste of it. This gonna be my first and will be the last. Mum told me in the morning to go for a massage since I have injuried myself a few weeks back. I thought for a moment... Hmm... it doesnt kill at all since its a massage. Well, I guess I gonna agree with the massager, wrong place!!
When it was my turn to massage, it was quite a painful experience. Actually it turn out to be a medical massage instead. I told him about my leg conditions and he did it to make sure that its alright. Well, I can bear the pain since I treat this injury as a serious one. Its like a fracture on my foot and I guess its hard for me to walk for months. The pain wont fade at all. Anyway, after that, he help me to massage my bruise but it was a wrong choice. He started to whack my legs, which was to circulate the blood. However, I stopped him as I realised that he hit the wrong place. OUCH!!!
One point, I nearly cant bear the pain and I nearly swing my arm on that massager. Haix... Its just too pain and after the whole treatment, I was like 1/2 dead??!! I was thinking how the hack am I going to play soccer at such a condition. Plus I need to work the next day at the Swimming complex. I guess I was very dead that day. That evening, the weather was very bad and soccer was cancelled. Eugene, Kian Wee and I went to Jia Long's house to watch soccer and started to discuss about the chalet plans. Well, I went back home after that to take a rest, since the next day there's work for me. Another boring day in the pool??!! Hope not...
Alright, thats all for the week. I guess I can start new entries for my blog soon since its holidays!! Haha... I have so many things to do even if its holidays, guess no one gets a break even its a holiday. Probably like what Jia Long said I'm over committed but no choice, I need to make both sides happy... Haha... Anyway, I have my ideas for that so no worries.
