ooh. just came back from a soccer game with the security guys at ngee ann poly. talk about convinence manz! they should have all their games at NP! =D

it was quite a nice match.

surprisingly i played from the beginning. was thinking that i would be "relegated" to the bench because of my poor attendance and lack of equipment. i had to wear bro mike's track shoes to play=P

anyway, its been a million years since i last played soccer and it was quite fun running about, chasing after a ball, with formation definitely!

i guess all the Football Manager gaming experience saved me. i played at midfield right and for the first half, i had quite a lot of action on my side.

just before the half time, i started to see white and i got replaced. i almost whited out on the field! thank God i had just enough time and strength to walk to the side, almost blind, and ask for a drink to refill myself.

i went back to the pitch for the second half! couldn't stand sitting at the bench watching others play! hahaa=P

this time, i wore daniel's boots and it was soooo much better! i finally had grip on the muddy pitch and i was able to run with control.

i think the match ended 5-3 to security! hahaa=P not sure if i contributed to the first goal because i took a shot, but it got deflected and someone headed the ball in instead. lol=P anyway, we won! doesn't matter if i scored or not=P

on a personal evalution of myself, i thought i played quite poorly. couldn't trap the ball in the air and had several bad passes, miskicks and moments of blurness on the field. heh=P ricky was like roy keane, shouting and motivating us to play harder~ even told me off, to wake up my idea. haha=P

currently i'm considering getting boots for myself so that i can join them everyweek for a game of soccer. gotta exercise before i enter national service!

2.30pm! i'm gonna be really late! gotta cut my hair, meet steven then travel to changi airport!

BYE!

>.<

ashley's at phillippines right now!! -cries- which means i've no one protecting me in the company, getting me out of trouble and helping me when i need help!

oh well. anyway, had a great time with taifong today. we walked stores together and i saved a lot of money on transport because he drove me around the various locations we visited! hahaz! learnt several stuffs about driving and it has indeed stirred up my spirits to learn driving asap!

the shock of getting into army on 6 july 2006 is still trying to settle in. i still can't believe that i'm entering NS sooner then most of my friends! to think that i passed NAPFA! i thought i'll get like 2 months off or something?

or maybe its like that - 6 july 2006 - 2 mths = 6 may 2008 i'll ORD! which sounds REALLY soon. AND remembering that i can clear leave, i'll probably unofficially ORD by April! Praise God!!

i'm gonna do a countdown to ORD and bring it along when i enlist on 6 july. =D i'll probably be labeled as crazy

i've got so many things i want to do!! before my NS!!

i want to travel overseas, by air, land and sea!!

air - take an aeroplane to some country to play
land - drive/get driven to neighbouring country to play
sea - take a cruise to play!

generally, i want to play before entering NS!! i want to see more of the world before i'm confined in little tekong!

7 more weeks to national service.... >.<

its official.

i'm enlisting on 6 July 2006.

heh. Loads of things i wanna blog about, but i'm quite lazy to type them all out here.

Anyway, quick update!! i'm currently very obsessed this song i heard recently at a KTV session with the gang.

it's called - Superwomen. (I bet everyone's going.. cheyyYyy..)

it's such a sweet song!! feels so honest and it's the type of song that comes best when you're discouraged by a setback.

Well. technically speaking, my contract at Reborne is expired. but i'm still returning to the company to help out at certain areas. i've been offered a two weeks extension because one of the sales executive is going on exams break and i'll be taking over her position for the time being.

i don't know if its a blessing in disguise because there's loads of conflicts going on, regarding if i've been doing my job or i'm just a waste of the company's finance.

seriously speaking, i do not care what they're talking behind my back. as far as i'm concerned, as long as i'm doing my job, i'm secure.

but what annoys me is that my effort is not appreciated in the company, and worst of all, its being doubted. only once i received open praise from Lars, the bigboss of the company, because i called up the audience from the Nanz Chong talk show held recently and managed to get sales for our new product.

Lars praised the effort i placed in speaking to the audience, gathering feedback and promoting sales to them.

i also learnt something valuable this week. there's a famous quote that goes, "no point crying over spilt milk" i simply thought it simply means whats done cannot be undone. but i had the honor of experiencing it first hand.

sometimes we do things out of anger and if we're unable to control our tongue, all hell breaks loose. thats why the bible says that the wise controls their tongue and the bible also mentions that the more we speak, the more we're prone to sin.

we can only regret after doing such things, but there's nothing we can do to undo the event. its not like Microsoft Words, when you can click on the undo icon and all the mistakes are erased.

scars are permanent. no use rubbing against it, hoping that it would go off one day.

anyway, i could have used my brains before using my emotions.. but, no point crying over spilt milk. i've to stand up once again, dust off the dust and move on with life. i cannot afford to stay at the same place and hope for a miracle to change the event that happened.
