Splitting Up and Going Down

Sometimes, I feel like its better not to have friends. Because the time always comes when friends have to split up. It not healthy for us to keep doing this. We're going to be uprooted and placed piecemeal in different flower beds. Thrust into a new environment, we're going to to need to make new friends, while desperately trying not to drift away from old ones. Its inevitable. We will drift, but for how far and how long? It's two more days to the end of 2Q. We will no longer be a class. But we'll always be friends. I hope.

It's kinda nostalgic with all the memories. Remembering the good times we spent, when we laughed and cried together. When we poured out our blood and sweat together. I would rather remain in this class for the next two years. But we're going to have to split up. I don't want to think to much about it. I'll see you guys next year. Forever Friends? Maybe?

I don't know. But we'll see.

Silence

Its very quiet on the pitch. It's complete silence. Not a sound. The opponent lines up for the decisive penalty.

"Take the kick"

We all hold our breaths in anticipation.

David dives to his left, and knocks the ball away. We erupt in celebration. Honestly, its a very memorable experience. But it's only the semi-finals. We've still got the finals to play, against 2C. Hard match, but that was what we said about 2A too. So well, at least we've got a silver medal.

Seriously, today was tiring and yet fulfilling. Against all odds, we a GEP class, made it to the finals, beating 2A in the semis. I truly didn't expect the win. I told myself as we went to the penalties, we've already done our best. We've held them, we even took the initiative early on and scored. We played our hearts out and I, at least, was satisfied with the class's performance. So I went to the penalties with less pressure than I think 2A felt. They were supposed to win, I think, blasting 2L to pieces. So, I think the less pressure on us did much better. David rocked, I scored my penalty, we won, and that's all that matters for now. We must focus on the upcoming final.

It's these memories with my class that will remain in my mind forever. I mean, I don't think that my class in Sec 3 and 4 will be better than the one in Sec 1 and 2. The friendships we've made, the things that we've laughed about together, the good times we've spent, its incredible. I couldn't ask for more.

So well, I'm feeling a little nostalgic. That probably at the next soccer tournament, I very well be facing members of my old team in the match. A challenge, of course, but an unwelcome one. I'd rather remain in the same team. Dunno about the rest, but that's the way I feel.

I'm quite shacked now, so I'm off to bed.

2Q'07 ftw!

Drill

I dreaded today's drill session. Actually, I was very unhappy with it initially, as I thought that after the EOYs, we should have a slack parade. Anyway, drill turned out to be a fiasco. Let me give you an example:


We are marching along the Raja block, with the field to our immediate left, when the commander told us to do a left turn directly into the field. Which is out of bounds. Accidentally. We attempted, and became a higgledy snake. We were all laughing like mad.


Anyway, the entire drill session was like that. So the hour went by quite quickly. Not a bad drill session at all.

You should have been there to see it.

Surreal

Its so surreal. Its as if I have all the time that I want, and I can't figure out what I want to do with all this time. Basically, if I want to read a book, I can't help logging in to do something else. I've too much time on my hands. Its been a flurry of celebrations, and pure happiness. I can play without a care - as to work. But when I play something, I know I'm missing out on something else.

Anyway, I'm not at home most of the time. Either to a friend's house or somewhere else. Anyway, I'm looking forward to church on Sunday. I always do. I'm happy, not thoughtful or anything else. Therefore, I don't have much to post.

If Darren reads this blog, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him. And whoever else is having their birthday soon.
