The buzzword this week was hockey. it seems that the A divs have become the primary focus of my life. im still puzzled as to why the A divs have been shifted forward so much this year (it was mid-april last year), but now that our first match is tmr i guess whining now is a bit late and useless...
but chronological order first! wednesday was the girls' team's first match, and it was against TPJC. i was quite worried for the girls at first, but you could say the circumstances balanced out and i guess it worked out ok in the end (though the definition of "ok" is up for debate here...); i shan't delve into details here. in any case, it was a 0-0 draw, so the girls are still in the running! :D
and now back to my original point: hockey is seriously taking over my life now (and i dont say that with the slightest tinge of bitterness). every few minutes i have a fleeting thought about how i would play in a certain situation, or how i should position myself when im calling for the ball. even when i fall asleep during lectures (which happens a lot more often nowadays - something i attribute partly to hockey but mostly to increasingly boring lectures) i dream about hockey, which i would find really freaky under normal circumstances but just seems so natural now. what we've been preparing the whole year for starts tmr with our opening match against VJC. watch this space tmr evening for match results; i hope to bring good news :X
amidst the rising war frenzy in preparation for tmr's game, the fact that tmr is also the release of A level results barely clings on to the back of my mind. honestly, right now i couldnt give a damn about my chinese results in light of a more pressing issue, but i guess i should wish all the seniors and fellow H1 chinese guys good luck tmr :)
random: i was slacking in the band room with victor, chin and rayson today and i discovered that i have no drumming talent whatsoever. oh well, i guess that's another daydream down the drain T_T
guys, just focus tmr. they may be good, but they need to capitalise on our mistakes to break through. remain calm, dont panic, and keep the passes timely and accurate. but most importantly, give it everything we've got and no matter what, we will leave with our heads held high.
