YEAR REVIEW
ok...year is coming to a close so i tink its appropriate i sum up some stuff...yup...
k...here i go...
im sec 2 this year...on a high from the year b4...sad thing was the 1.3 class got split up...only lrx,shubhit,lsf,leonard and wayne followed me to the class of 2.1.
2.1 was i nice class with nice teachers...i made some new frens...shall not go into detail...
there were many jokers...as usual...but i really missed my sec 1 grp of frens...jon,drek,nic,ed,jr,eugene etc. but i guess we all gotta move on...anw...i tink we were all much closer when we werent in the same class.haha.funny thing.
anw...the year began pretty well...i decided not to bcome a prefect or involve myself in the class com.so can slack one year.muahahaha.jon's influence...actually no lahz...
hmm...so the 1st term went by...not very eventful...
2nd term...
its starting to heat up...1st competition began...6 aside hockey i tink...k...i was in the 1st team...not suprising...cant rmb in great detail but we sort of won 2 2-o and 1-0...drew 2 games 0-0....4 so far....no goals conceded...not bad...im doing a fairly gd job as a defender...den last game...vs...wad do u noe?....sji...our rivals...we always about same standard...sadly...we conceded the 1st goal...penalty flick...unlucky...jas pulled 1 back...damn nice from short corner...so it ended 1-1.gosh...our fate was in the hands of sji...they had to lose their next game the next day...so we all left class early take bus to delta...and guess wad...they drew!!!we went there for nothing...got knocked out by goal diff...i was damn pissed...so unfair lorh...nvm.
so it was soccer next...we did better den last year...i played as centre and right back...not my natural position...did fairly ok.
june hols were uneventful...except my bday lah!!! haha...but as usual it had to rain on that day...cldnt have my soccer party.quite disappointed.
3rd term and it all started...competitions...everything!!!
i played last man in hockey...we were inexperienced...so other den our 1st game...0-0 vs sji...the results were rather...disgusting...yah thats the rite word...for the next few games...i felt i played rather well though... earned my nickname star defender...that has gotta go soon...
the 2nd half of soccer season started...we did fairly well...finished in the middle of the grp...
den was x country...i knew i wld win smth like last year...just dint expect it to get 1st for the house catergory!!! last year got 3rd this year 1st.
wow....i was damn suprised...1st trophy of the year.gold.
oh wait...was it inter house soccer 1st?
forgot liao...nvm...
anw...interhouse soccer...i played for oldham...we owned the whole thing(as usual)...conceded 0 goals...won the tournament...my 2nd gold...
exams were fairly ok...
i got top 10...just deproved abit from last year...109 for math...not bad...2nd time i got full marks for a subject at the end of the year...100 for life science last year rmb?that seems so long ago...
haiz...the gd times...there werent really any bad...no one died or anything...sry...getting distracted...
k...last was the interclass soccer.
my favourite event of the year...
line up...dj,vic,shub,mj,rx,me,phang.the subs...ke hao and ahem...SIU FUNG?!!!
haha...
1st match...my class played 2.6....and who was going to get the 1st goal of the tournament???
me lah!!!
who were u tinking of?!!!
i solo all the way after block tackling paul...past 1...past 2...past 3...wah...thank u very much...cut in...oh...someone closing in???too late...left foot slots the ball into the near post...1-0...
i action abit...haha...not so much as ego but more for boosting self confidence...shhhhhh...1 finger on my lips....next...assist for vernon...a long ball...2-0...all in the 1st 10 mins...gd nite...
2nd match...drew 0-0...
went thru...
played with 2.3 in the semis...very evenly matched...both teams defence superb...ended 0-0.
went to penalties...
won that 3-2...scorers were rx,me and shubhit...part of the old 1.3 gang...my penalty was against another member of the hockey soccer club...jaspreet...he was behaving like dudek lorh...and wad did i do?i screwed up my penalty...kicked towards the center...lucky he just miss...went in...another finger to the lip celebration...used my fingers to form the shape of an 'r'...dedicating to my dear mei reb u see...haha...toking bout her...i did alot of 1sts this year that has to do with her...she is the 1st gal...or person for that matter...that i have ever dedicated a goal to...the 1st person i have ever composed a song for and my 1st mei...hmm...i tink ive left smth out...nvm.oh yah...the 1st gal ive ever bought smth for...hmm...besides my mum or my relatives...smth like that.anw.i fell to the ground after that muttering wad a bad penalty that was...and victor was saying something to me...cant rmb...he was laughing...haha...his laughter was always funny.
finals were the next day...very excited...damn confident we cld win...
the next day....
we slacked abit play abit...watched the other matches...who wld we face...2.4 lah...
pierson's class.he was playing keeper...again...both teams evenly match...vernon squandered our best chance...1 on 1 vs keeper and he did the wrong thing at the wrong time...instead of being direct,he gave the defender time to close him down and hit the ball against the outside of the post...from like less den 8m out...we were quite lucky when darren only managed to parry a long range effort onto the crossbar...still 0-0...ren xiang cld have edged it for us but his volley just sailed over the crossbar...i doubt i wld have scored that chance myself...so into extra time...score was still 0-0.i got abit pissed...the whole game and no one set up a gd chance for me to score even for the whole tournament...my goal was purely mad emyself rmb?...it got quite scrappy...all i needed was one chance!!! it nvr came...so penalties it was...i dun really wanna go into detail...lets just say everyone in the 1st 3 rounds missed their penalties...
so i was in teh 4th round...my opponent scored...pressure on me...and i failed...kicked the ball straight at pierson who scored the winning penalty...we lost 2-0 on penalties...i was devastated...
we were so close yet so far...well...i guess 2nd was better den nothing...haha...and i tink it was for the better cos now...the desire to win next year is incredible...gd...
skool comes to a close...rest? no way man...i made it into the b div squad!!! pro rite?ok lahz...5 other sec 2s made it so im not the only one.gd.training started...4 times a week...oh...sry...5 including soccer...fatigue was always there...day in day out the same thing...i was getting tired...
fortunately...a 2 week holiday in hk and shanghai was wad i needed...got no time to go into detail so here r some photos...
me,my bro,my dad at xmas eve dinner.
me,my mum,my bro in shanghai
me and my bro ice skating...hk.
me in my granduncle's apartment...he owns the place u see...the view from my room...nice sia.
me in shanghai...in some yu yuan garden...very cold.
it was nice lahz...cold....u learn to appreciate singapore more once u see the state other countries are in...heh...
so the year ends with me coming back on xmas...
i realised i missed alot...be it the xmas party at my spiritual ah gong's house...or MOL...in which everett...and maybe alice for that matter came to receive Christ...things have changed alot in a year...both gd and bad....it has been nice watching my frens mature...not forgetting myself...i haven changed much...some ppl will say that ive been influenced by other ppl...i dun tink so...wayne says he prefers my primary skool self...but he doesnt noe that deep inside im still the exact same person...maybe abit more...erm...i dunno...expressive...haha...i tink ive got alot to thank God for...esp the church moving to expo...i feel thats it s the start of smth great...ppl coming to noe the Lord and stuff like that...well...a year is over...but is a year that long compared to the time im gonna spend in heaven...nope...nothing that great...this brings me to another point...as i look out the window...and the sky is grey...i cant help feeling that the end is coming...u noe it...the book of revelations is coming true...natural disasters...terrorism...war...so i tink id be gd to spend the next year doing wad i wanna do...u'll nvr noe when the time comes where its time to move on...so use it to the fullest...i dun really wanna do too great a thing next year...i wanna keep it simple...maybe make a few new frens...spend more time with the ones i already have...make someones day...that kinda thing...win ppl for God...yeah...stuff like that...and simply be happy...at the end of the day...i just wanna have a sense of fullfilment...no regrets wadsoever.
next year will probably be my most challenging year so far...very busy and alot of expectations to meet...i guess thats how life is...we go on doing stuff again and again...
but i'll try to make next year an exception k?
next year i aint going to be the same reserved ant that i am...im going to make everyday special...for someone or for myself doesnt really matter...even if it leaves myself exhausted...
id like to end this by saying id do my best in the coming year to be able to say the same words that paul said in the bible at the end of next year...
i have fought the gd fight...i have finished the race...i have kept the faith...
