woohooo

let's start with wednesday. i don't know why but i wasn't able to concentrate in school. maybe i was just too excited for the soccer match..it's the finals anyway. the excitement is partly due to the fact that i was going to the match with my classmates, not to mention that i was caught making a fool of myself for doing such a selenge thing unimaginable to any homamosapien.

the matches played ie the B divison and A divison finals were just superb and nrve-wrecking. both mathches ended in penalty kicks and both schools that eventually won resided in a tiny part of singapore called pasir ris. all i can say was that the match was extremely superb and heart-stopping when the match was decided on sudden death penalty kicks. i would love to releive the moment when everyone was filled with euphoria and ecstasy - teachers, students, parents and the soccer players alike.

maybe i'm biased but i guess the guys definitely desrved to win. the sheer grit and determination they showed when the game ended 1-1 and extra time had to be played was really commendable. i guess all those training daily and going home filled with lethargy certainly paid off. i take my hat off to them and kudos to them! MJC, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!! credit to vjc too cos at times they really scared the hell of me when they have corner kicks.

thanks to the soccer players, we had a day off from school today. as always i wasted my time going out with my sister to window-shop and yes, indulging and engrossing myself with a book. and i better start peparing for gp paper tmr.

final goodbye

the goodbyes finally came. friday marked the end of my one and a half years in odac. bittersweet memories, i might say. i was kinda pissed at first that the passing over ceremony clashed with the soccer semi-finals. but at the end of the day i was glad that i came for the ceremony.

i made great friends in 0dac and truthfully, they never fail to brighten up my day with their endless jokes, enthusiasm, infectious laughters and yes, bimbotic actions. despite these(shortcomings?), i love them all the same. fond memories of them will forever be engraved in my heart. the countless things that we did together, be it planning for open house, games, the camp and oh, not to forget the bitching sessions that we had.

a part of me wanted odac to end but another part of me told me the exact opposite. seriously, i thought i would be the most elated person on friday since i really wanted it to be over prior to the passing over ceremony. i never expceted myself to shed tears, but lo and behold,i did. saying the odac cheer for the last time was the final streaw. memories with the seniors, my counterparts and the juniors just came flooding back.

so that was it. my odac experience finally ended. relieved that i won't be facing the tyrant teachers and exco anymore. sad that i'll be parting with wonderful friends that i've made in my entire odac journey. i can't help but wonder if our paths will ever cross again. a part of me wants our paths to converge once again but another part of me wants it to remain that way. they're only one of the many people that i'll meet in my journey, called life. cynical, one might say. over the years, i've learnt not to get so involved and passionate apout things as it would spare me the hurt of separation and parting.

on a lighter note, congrats to the soccer boys for advancing to the soccer finals. u guys deserve that berth in the fianls and all the best!!!!

Gema

i practically spent my weekend going out. well...not that i regretted it cos i dun feel a teeney-weeny bit of guilt. it's one of the only times that i can let down my hair and enjoy myslf before the holidays kick in and wham, it's mugging in full operation.

after odac on fri, i went to swensen's airport for dinner with my darling cousins. haishh...they never fail to brighten up my day with their incessant laughter and stupid jokes. after that, it's off to pasir ris park. oh, those hilarious moments on the 'flying fox', sitting on the slide and round-about thing. hmmm i feel like eating the coit tower ice-cream all of a sudden.

yesterday was gema. the theme was 'gadis, wanita, perempuan'. it was a nice performance filled iwth humour, i must say...the usage of the mat-minah language. of course, there were slight glitches and it's a part and parcel of a production. i kind of like the tarian performance actually and the steps in the dk performance.

i just love to attend these kind of things...it's really more for supporting your friends who are performing or just meeting up with them when the whole thing ends. that's the nicest part of everything. sitting down with them, eating, laughing and of course updating one another on one's life.

oh, sa didn;t go through the next round for soccer. so sad...i was actually looking forward to them advancing to the next round. rj and nj went through to the next round. so it remains to be seen if mj will go through the next round cos i beleive that vj is confirmed advancing.

tennis finals coming...i'm not sure if i can come down and support ili.
