Contemplations.


okay, after reading xiaolun's blog. felt like writing this entry.

(for more info, you might wanna go read xiaolun's blog before this entry.)

anyways. a little more about DiscIn'08.

after a extremely hectic tuesday, in which i travelled back and forth school like, 4times. one when i'm going to school, one when i'm going back towards my home to teach tuition, another time when i went school again for training, and another time when coming home. seriously didn't know what i was thinking that day. should've skipped training. anyways..

had a disasterous wmcomm test. but i think half the class or more failed it anyway. lol. we were seriously unprepared. it was a good wake up call though, and a gauge of how much i actually know..(which is close to less than half, even relying on my less than reliable photographic memory..) in anycase, test ended, we all went off happily. lol. slacked at RF sim lab for 2hrs, then went for my favourite Mr Tan's tutorial. stayed back about half an hour after that listening to Mr Tan talk about students these days.. very enlightening. i shall endeavour to work harder.

as a sudden thought.. i wonder why i respect people like these who have wise things to say. maybe its because of a lack of a fatherly figure since young. or maybe i just think what they say make so much sense. in anycase, i really respect someone like him, who puts in so much effort to help his students. why didn't he teach us during year1. haiz.
i then rushed to south canteen, supposedly to find joey, who was supposedly there, who ended up not being there -_- i did catch SEG siao kia sing national songs on stage though, not a wasted trip. lol

went to mac afterwards, to find joey and fred. had a rushed lunch(which on hindsight i didnt really need to, given that the rest of the teams came really late -_-), and went to stadium to report. *fast forward* had briefings, the threw disc around to get them warmed up. then once my whole team arrived, which consisted of YY, Ramzi, Joey, Betrand, Fred and me. we warmed up and waited for the thing to start. once it was our turn, we went out to the pitch, and took a group pic!



we beat the first team, though i would say luckily. with a score of 2-1. should've realised something was wrong when we couldn't beat a team without any Ultimate junior at all easily.
but i couldnt see the warning signs. zzz..
the next team we played against ended up being a walkover since they didn't arrive. we had a mini game within our team. and we lost 5-0 to the other 3 -_-
played in our last game against a team(i cant remember the name), i thought we could sit back and relax, but they ended up going 2-0 up very quickly. we clawed one back, before i decided i'd get into the fray. everything then passed by in a blur, think i was playing a little TOO fierce. jumping for the disc and knocking into people and screaming all at the same time.. we ended up losing 3-2, my senior called for the game to end seeing that the last point was taking too long. most likely due to my crazy defending, i think i stalled their scoring run for 4minutes in a row. must've scared them. lol.
my senior, Yin Ci, pulled me aside after the game and kinda told me that don't expect too much from them because they're not intending to play competitive like i am. i realise that too, but i guess my anger just came out during the game. haven't felt that in a long time... but it was a good thing i guess. just felt kinda apologetic that i shouted at my team members. i wasn't playing very well too, on hindsight. dunno wtf throws was i throwing that day. michael gave me a pat on the back and said i tried my best, guess i felt a little better.
so they left, eventually, after that. and i was hanging around till training started. eventually it did, and we had only an hour to play games. i think i actually performed better in that game that i did in the past few weeks. made few mistakes, even if i did, i corrected them quick. i went for the disc too. not bad.. but still, need to keep improving.
okay. time to talk about today.
well i'm SUPPOSED to be revising for commskills. but a little blog hoppping wouldn't hurt. so i
went over to xiaolun's blog, and it seems like he's been going through alot lately.
i guess i could relate, in terms of studies, to him. i know how that feeling is, slacking, not caring. and unfortunately i found out too late, in year3. luckily for him, he realised it quick.
for the girlfriend thing.. haha.. he just needs to have more faith in himself. i realised a long time ago that you didn't have to give a damn about what others think, so long as that person loves you.
lastly. that attention thing. guess he's being too harsh on himself. xiaolun always came across to me as one of those popular kinda guys. y'know, those kinda good looking, or smooth talkers, or just plain funny kinda fellas. they're just naturally likethat. and i've been striving to become like that. but somehow i can onli LIKE THAT admire them. hahaha. *okay was being lame* anyways. i feel that he's a really good player, and he's popular within the team anyways. more than me i suspect, then again, i don't bother. hahaha. i could be like an idiot like djamal or eliseus, but thats so attention seeking, not my style. flirting with girls needlessly seems... needless, for the lack of a better word, for me too. don't know. i'm weird, and i'm proud of it. LOL -x
so yea. i guess we all go through those stages in life, i got through them later than most. but i'm
thankful for having a family which can financially give me a second chance, lol. (don't ask me if you don't understand this part. haha)
anyways, i jus FCUKING FOUND OUT THAT THEY'LL HOLD THE SELECTION TOMORROW LA KNN! cb sia.
i was intending to skip training tomorrow since commskills CT was on wed. didn't wanna take a risk. the moment i entered the nypultimate blog i was sianded already.
*extracted from the blog*
'Take note that tomorrow will be used for a mini competition and selections for some events that NYP Ultimate will be competing in. So while you have fun tomorrow, do step up the intensity and do your best.'
like thats fine and all, OTHER THAN THE FACT I'M NOT GOING TRAINING TOMORROW.
and to make it worse, ben posted another blog entry that CONFIRMS IT.
*extracted from there again*
'Hi all,
There will be a mini hat tourney(competition) tml, Tuesday 05/08/2008. It will be watched by the grads and myself. This will be used as a platform for selection for the ACJC scrimmage which will be on this Saturday, 09/08/2008, 1430hrs.
For those that will not be able to attend tml, pls at least show up on Wed training. Your chances may be lesser but if you really got it, you will still catch our eyes!Be ready to play hard and show us what you have. Fight for your place in the team!
Cheers,Benjamin Ho'
