the season's almost over after yesterday's game, but mathematically there's no more chance of being that 'legendary batch' we have all been dreaming of for the past 8 montths? it isnt really nice when reality hits after being cocooned in a dream for so long. and when it all ends it felt like everything came crashing down.
strangely enough though i did not feel sad for long. i used to mull over such things for a long time and be sad abt it, but not this time, somehow. i just feel so proud and happy that i am able to go thru one whole unbelievable season with the team. and yes, for the first time, compete for the school. even though i was having flu ystd, it was surprising, even to myself, how i lasted the whole game. im glad i made the choice to push myself to play and there are no regrets. i've given my all ystday and though we lost really badly, there's really nothing to be ashamed about. 1 yr ago, ppl won't even giving a shit abt soccer. nobody talked about qualification, nobody believed and nobody cared. this year, we made ppl sit up and notice us, and even manage to draw supporters to go all the way down to pasir ris to support us. It's just amazing. looking back at where we started from, a team from the street court with 3/4 of the ppl without proper soccer boots in the first trng to today, it's been a long and tiring journey. i hope i never will forget the spirit of this team, for there will never be another, i know. We did not be the legendary batch we wished we could have been, which is a waste, but when our best is not as good as others, all we could really ask for is that we give it a go, our best go. we have each created our own legends in our own way.
as for now, it's down to the last 2 games of the season. only pride left to play for. and after that it's back to being a full-time student. how exciting life can get.

i just feel like i need to get back to some writing BECAUSE IM HAVING SO MUCH PENT-UP SHIT IN ME I NEED TO GET 'EM OUT!
we drew with ACS(I) 1-1 when we really should have frigging wipe their asses clean off the field but we didnt and we drew and now we put ourselves in a much more difficult position though it is still mathematically possible for some miracle to happen. wad made today worse was that at times it felt like the team spirit was dwindling and the belief was faltering and that is really quite sad esp since all of us have been dreaming of this being the legendary batch since we started off, and now given the chance we have not made the best out of it. im not pissed or wadeva im just feeling a little sad. i so frigging want to do something in my last yr and i will not let it mess up.
coach says he wont see us for the next games because he wld be on course, then sent an SMS "I will c u in the finals. i believe in this team". i just feel so much more... motivated and ready to go. i just hope everyone in the team feels the same way because really WE NEED THE WHOLE TEAM TO DO THIS. I love this team so so so so frigging much and we have proven a lot of that we are no pushovers alr. but i want the finals. i want to be the champion this year.

this week has been mad, always a rush for time.
but somehow, i just decided to let the week flash past, allowing my work to pile up, having no mood/time to write to my angel and mortal.
In between I got a haircut, took a beep test (hit level 13) and just busied myself with things. soccer team was announced, and that was that really.
today took a ride at the back of the lorry to go to some Toa Payoh Chinese Clan place to move props for dramafeste. it was really nice, to just sit there. i enjoyed the breeze. a good way to end the week, i think.
tmr is a game against NJC. again. kinda excited just now, but not so much now.
i feel like watching cartoons now, like Lion King, American Tail and Pocahontas. Love the soundtracks and have a sudden surge for them. I also feel like doing a jigsaw now. those 999 pieces ones. i feel dead!

monday blues! i dun really like mondays because the day before was Sunday (I NEED MORE WEEKENDS!) and i feel pissed that my sisters get to start school only at 8.30 on mondays! which means i wake up in the morning and everyone else is asleep. sucks.
But today was good, thanks to the soccer team. it is real it is real we are a frigging band of brothers! it was so fun today scamming our teammates abt them being dropped from the squad now that our coach is starting to drop ppl, and see their devestation. No, i'm not sadistic, i dun wanna see my team mates sad or anything, but their reactions just go to show how much EVERYONE is part of this team, how much everyone wants to be part of this experience and how much we believe. when the time comes it's gonna be hard on those that are dropped, but the fact that today we could play such a big joke on one another and still not get personal abt stuff proves that our bond is strong. i god damn love this team and it's been a long time since i felt so attached to something. i love this feeling of a team, a team chasing a dream together. and i do believe that dreams become realities.
on another hand, arsenal frigging got drawn with man U in the next round of FA CUP! WTF! adebayor pls whack ferdinand's ass.

yesterday's orientation campfire was hell for me, not in the bad way, but the kinda emotional rollercoaster that leaves you feeling like shit.
no, i dun really give a damn abt the emceeing part, though it wld have been a lot better had it not rain. the sound system in the hall totally sucks, and our voices were all so muffled. but it helps that the j1s were so responsive and enthusiastic abt everything. Ares dance was awesome, and i felt so happy doing it, and seeing how proud the j1s were of the faculty. the weeks of practice and the late nights did not go to waste.
then we moved to the central plaza, where the song and dance session took place. for the first time yesterday, i found some meaning in college songs. seeeing how bonded the councillors were at the front leading the song was just overwhelming, the sense of camaraderie was just, chiilling.
it felt like as if i had wasted one whole year in college, being apathetic towards school events, school spirit, but then yesterday i realised that i was just being stupid. I love the school, it's just as simple as that.
this orientation has helped rekindled that flame, and i will not hold back this year to give everything i have to make this yr memorable. i need to find the energy i once had to live my final year in hwachong, much like what i did in sec 4. i'm going to make my own memories this yr.

woo exactly a month since i've been here. let's just say that the holidays so far has been passing by very quickly, with so much soccer training and all the other random activities filled in between. this past month im feeling more and more drawn to this team everyday, it's almost like the best thing that has happened to me in a long time to feel so belonged to this team, and honestly this team does have a very strong bond. like arsene wenger always say of arsenal, i feel that something special is happening with this team. our team can go far this yr and play as well as any JCs, argh our teacher-in-charge told us that next yr is the 10th anniversary of Hwachong one and only national championsip for soccer. wad a way to cap off my 6 years at HC and celebrate that tenth anniversary by winning it again. wow! makes my heart accelerate every nite before i go to sleep. i dream so much, though it's not too unrealistic a dream :)
scored against ACJC last week from very very far out with a volley from a corner that spilled out! there you have it, a goalscoring centre back. damn i love that feeling when you see the ball dip into the back of the net! and beating ACJC 3-1 just feels so damn sweet!
ONWARDS.
