....

Met Nichh and Yi at Bishan to sign up 4 TUITION.Damn i'm just getting a little too hard working ah.Anyway my maths sucks lah,to those pple who still think that i'm smart,i'm nowhere close to being smart or else i'll be in some other schools.Went round lye the whole of Bishan b4 finding that place.Went there too early,the place still closed,that fat lady still probably sleeping.Went back to j8 and eat,took more that 1 hour to finish 1 meal,i'm taking longer and longer to eat nowadays.Signed up 4 tuition at that place,that fat lady at the counter thought that i'm a sec school student.No surprise,i just gt this GinNah look.Bothering me 4 quite some time already,so pple dun want to look old,it's the opposite 4 me.I just dun have the look 4 my age.Both of them kept bluffing the fat lady that i'm from nus high school all the nonsense.

Went swimming with Kelvin later in the day,after i shaved my head again.Nvr seen him since he went into the navy.Looked as fit as ever.Wasted our time swimming at the place,taking turns to share that pathetic pair of goggles.Did wat we do best,talk cock.Heard alot of stories about his ns life,really hope that i'll end up in the navy or police and not in the army.The training is just that much simpler.Ns is just coming,wonder how is mark ow surviving in it?

Abration

Woke up this morning up 2 white patches on my face,aparently my skin shreaded over the night.Then when i was going to stand up,i found the flesh near my crotch area extremly painful.It looked and felt like someone had rubbed acid over it.Had difficulty walking with my legs closed the whole day.Had school,normal day,passed my gp essay(miracle),did a presentation during econs on some topic that i never seen b4.Rushed home to get my boots,i just changed my mind over wat cca i wanted to go to today.Knocked my head hard against the boot of the taxi when i was taking my bowling ball out of the boot.Was stunned there 4 a moment.After taking my boots,it's time to head back to school.Wanted to find the so called tonkat ali power root drink to help me recover from the heavy physical excertion last nite.Could not find it so settled on pokari sweat and shark energy drink.Went back to sch,helped the team pump the balls in the pe room,damn alot of interesting things could be found there,i was like a kid in the candy store,playing with the equipments.Had quite a good training today,kept a clean sheet in the training match,many thanks to elfi the great who shot straight at me in an one on one situation.Man when was the last time i kept a clean sheet in sch?Went home totally tired,walking with my legs still open and still recovering from the heavy physical excertion last nite.

Salam And Sons still rock

Went to queensway shopping center with 3 others to shop 4 a new pair of boots.Round and round the place i went.After 3 to 4 rounds around the place i decided to buy a pair of airzoom total 90 3(2nd class of course,i could nvr afford to buy the 1st class).Bought it at SALAM AND SONS,my favourite place in the whole shopping center.I strongly encourage pple to buy their boots from that shop.Got quite a good deal,even the uncle from the other shop said that i gt the pair of boots at a very good price.

After all 4 of us done our shopping,we went to toapayoh stadium to catch a coe under 18 game between balestier khalsa and gombak united.Our own Harry Cheong started in the game 4 gombak united.Come to think of it we played soccer together 4 years ago at the soccer court in school.Now he's playing at a different level from us,a much higher level than us.The level of football that he plays now is so much higher than the A division that i will be experiencing.The coe level of football would make A division look like childplay.He started in a very defensive role in midfield.Had a good game overall b4 being taken out of the game due to an injury.Harry keep flying our maris stella brand of soccer flying high...........

2nd crazy taxi driver i met in as many weeks

Met Ridz,Marcoo and Jerome at tm after sch.Was supposed to go to queensway to buy a new pair of boots.Waited 4 so long b4 my current pair of boots showed a little bit of wear and tear.Instead i was denied any form of subsidy from my mother.After a long consideration on my current financial status,i decided to stick with my current pair of pumas 4 a little while more.So accompanied them to penisular instead.The shoes that Ridz wanted to buy all no size.Bought a new shoebag from the adidas shop at suntec.Took a cab to Ridz house to watch some exciting foreign movie.The cab driver's damn cool lah.During the journey,he kpet scolding the group of indians who took his cab and his own cab company's personel(the one who killed his family b4 killing himself).All the NABEHS and KNNS, CHEEBYES all come out sia.Damn cool ah that guy.Taxi drivers are becoming more and more "colourful",taking a taxi could be a fun thing these days.Last week i met a driver who drove freehanded.Could be the pressure on the roads taking a toll on them.My parents are slowly becoming more "interesting"day by day.

Went to katong 4 bowling training again.Kieren blindfolded us sia.How to bowl with blind folds on?Dun see any point in doing that at 1st.Could not really see wat's going on with the blindfold on,could not even see the arrows down the lane.But realised the point of blindfolding after i took them off.It's to improve the musle memory and to increase ball speed.Did not bowled a good average today,how to represent sch with this type of score sia?

Fishing at Bishan park again.Went around the whole of Bishan in search of an "open" aquarium to buy our bait in a taxi driven by a crazy driver.He aparently found our fishes interesting and lifted both hands off the steering wheel to take a better look at our bait.Did not catch anything nice today except for the occational luohan.Went with marcus,harry and jerome to Adam hawker center 4 a "feast"on some bbq seafood.Damn the food was good,gobbled up the food like some barbarian.School starting soon for them,dun know when's the next time we get to meet like that again.
"Gathering" yesterday at Brent's house.Marist+sjc as usual.Saw alot of crazy stuff,LBT(lunch break terrorist"was back in action.Ate cocunuts plucked from the trees around his house.Alcohol was consumed.Someone's girlfriend got drunk,deja vu,saw the same thing happening at the last gathering.Guys and gals pleas refrain from excess alcohol,it does nt look good when ur drunk.

I dun like to watch football,i only like to play it.

Coach Md Noor once said to me"i never liked to watch football,i only like to play it."Truely understood this phrase yesterday.Its a real torture sitting at the stands to see ur counterpart not having a good game.Being tormented by the opponents.But wat can i do about it?NOTHING other than cheering him on at the stands.How i wished that i was part of the team?But then not all wishes do come true.The true meaning of the phrase is that u got to put in 100% in training and matches so that u would be able to make the cut.Not regreting later in the stands or on the bench,its a sickening feeling that u would do better than your replacement in the game while all you need is a chance.

So wat if i'm nt in the team

Not all stories end with the ending u wanted.So wat if i'm excluded in this year's A division team,it's quite amazing that i already came this far,this close to become the 1st year one keeper in a very long time to be in contention 4 an A div spot.Come to think of it,the past 3 months was quite a story.1stly i was kicked out of the soccer team because of poor performances and a lousy attitude.2 weeks after my 1st training.Then due to some problems in the goalkeeping department,i was given a 2nd chance.I told myself,i have to grab it.It's make or break.Did nt have a good training at all,but noordin somehow kept me in the team.Next i was called a joke by the pple outside of the soccer team,that i should nt deserve a place in the team.Had a game against JJC,threw away the team's lead.Up till now still think is my fault.would nvr forget how the 2 goals went in.Not given another chance to play ever since.Maybe Noordin felt that i'm all talk no action.It seemed that everybody that plays keeper came back.Meng,stonefish,wan and so on.Quickly demoted to last choice behind everybody.Then came the march holidays,my 1st really good performance in training.Yes that's the old me,the me when i was high in confidence.That faithful training gave me confidence,maybe i'm no longer that joke.That joke who let in every shot on target.I think football is all about confidence,1 good performance leads to another.Was given a 2nd look,a contention to be deputy behing Izree.In the end just fell short in the final hurdle,just gt alex's msg.W.X. was selected.Am i dissapointed,certainly.But come to think of it,i did my best.It's already good that i came this far in the 3 months,at least i was given a serious look,at least i was presented to a chance,at least it's 4 the team's good,at least i've proven that i'm more than a joke,i'm more than just plain talk.That's good enough...
Saw this short local movie from http://www.wirelessed.net/takgiu/ .Its about a group of locals having difficulties to find a perfect,free soccer pitch in s'pore.It also highlighted some problems faced by the football,in terms of playable pitches and attitude of normal s'poreans to s'pore soccer.I think its a good watch lah.Quite funny and very true.I like the last line,if we s'poreans do nt support s'pore soccer,who will?
