Last entry was on the 23rd of July *counts with fingers* so its been like 12 days since I last updated ?
Well well. I was lethargy, busy, tired and more more more. haha
Just some quick updates, nothing philosophical. Its getting late and I am sorta like rushing off to bed. Tired tired and cant wait to lie on my small single bed to slp.. (must get a queen size soon! that's one of the secret to a good night of rest!)
Lets start from 3/8/05 which is Wednesday!
3/8/05 (Wednesday)
Work morning shift today, after that proceeded to played against another unit in an Inter-unit soccer tournament.
We beat the opponent 5-0!!!
I was kinda surprised to be in the first 11 as this was my first year in the team.. I played left back!
I played well i feel, no danger at all from my side. Did well with my tackles and shielding out of the balls etc. But as usual, i can never play a fluent passing game. haha. I used to be able to do that when i play mid. Now push back my legs feel kinda weird.
Anyway I been thinking.
I first started learning about football from this voluntering group call B.O.Y. - Befrienders of Youth. They had this team going on, and anyone was welcome to train and play with them.
My friend pulled me down 1 fine day and viola , I started learning more about the game.
I started to play in front, then mid then def. haha. slowly slowly pushed back.
But it was there I learn how to dribble, pass, shoot! not the pro kind, but the theory behind each and every move and kick. All thanks to Hanks , an American who coach us during his free time. Still can remember him always saying to me (regardless of how many mistakes i made..) "Sam! Good hassle there! Come on!" I will never forget all these memories. And did I mention that although he was my soccer coach, he was such an NBA fan ? haha.
Ya, it was also at B.O.Y. that I truely learn about the word "defence". How a sound defence can be the basis of a team. Good defense = half the job done. I used to hate defending, cause usually its the strikers that take all the headlines, but not the defender. Well , it changed when I started playing defender myself. I learnt to be a tougher nut to crack, to be braver, go for each and every challenge without fear, no matter how big size that fellow is. I learnt when to commit myself and when to just follow and see. I learnt a lot.
Hanks, if you ever see this "Thank you!~"
1/8/05 and 2/8/05 (Monday and Tuesday)
Spent most part of the 2 days dolling up my bike.
Went Ah Boy and Auntie Shop to get my stuffs.
Tough work man! Created quite a lot of problems for myself. haha. meaning, as i am still a greenhorn when it comes to spray jobs , i made quite a lot of mistakes. haha.
But the end result was encouraging to say the least! Anyway its not the completed job yet! More to come!!! hehe
31/7/05 (Sunday)
Guard duty in camp... from 8am to next day 8am.... tired... wat else is there to say about it ?
29/7/05 (Friday)
Had company dinner at The Olive at Labrador Park. Romantic place!!! 10/10 for ambience! But the food that they ordered was far from matching the class of that restaurant....
I always make it a point to write down the things i wanna do, the place i wanna bring her to, if i ever had a girlfriend next time...
but i been thinking... seriously.... i am the kind of guy that will not make it into being a boyfriend... I am the good friend kind of guy... not the boyfriend kind... well... some pple just got this kinda life and i am one of them. ha.
Like I ever said before, the kinds i like dun like me, the kinds i dun fancy fancy me. haha. I am just so far away... wat to do.. social classes do stand...
Nothing liao other then all those that i mentioned.
Well lately been into badminton! haha. now looking to get a racket! cheap and good! (as usual) I never get the best stuff for the job unless I am very sure that I am serious in it! If not why get the best if you aint gonna be using it frequently?
Thats all, share with you guys 2 quotes that i came across, one from a website, its in a user's signature, the other, from a song, i dunno the title, heard it when i went to buy ice cream from 7-11. :)
Here you go~
-"who being loved is poor?" - oscar wilde
-"I rather go through the bad times with you, than the good times with others..." - from some song that i don't know the title.
