Football and early dismissal tomorrow

Well, lets put it on record shall we I SCORED MY 1ST GOAL FOR THE SOCCER TEAM :D. haha, been waiting a long time for that, at least now i can claim to have at least contributed a goal. Not a glamourous goal, but a goal still. Kinda threw my whole head and body at the ball in a sort of weird diving header and forced the ball over the line. It kinda rolled over the line ( form my side view lying on the ground ). Not a bad time too, trailing 1-0 at injury time of the 2nd half after we conceded like within less than a minute in the 1st half. Had no idea what coach had in mind or expected me to do when he threw me into the fray with around 15 / 10 minutes remaining, but well it worked, didnt it. plaudits to the team, who was wonderful despite trailing for like the whole game. We deserved to at least draw, if not win. Hmm, finally felt what its like to score a goal, not bad.... Btw we played SAJC ( national 4th last year ).

Tomorrow was supposed to be early dismissal for NYJC-ians and me ( note the use of the word was ). But the econs department, with all due respect, kinda derailed my plans for a free afternoon. we get dismissed at 1.30 with econs lecture having been brought forward. And to top it all off, wednesday training is brought forward to tomorrow, just perfect ( hints of sarcasm ). There goes my tuesday.

Now, shall blog on the book which is also mentioned on Soh Ee's blog and graciously lent to me by Cindy. Its "I Believe You" by Low Kay Hwa. Its a short romance story, abit intrigued by it cos Soh Ee described it on her blog and so i borrowed it from Cindy. Will not put up spoilers here haha, but it is worth a read, if any of you are looking for some not too tedious reading materials. It is touching, but maybe a little too perfect. Things just do not occur by this process in reality. If things were that sweet, and that easy, wouldnt it be too easy to make someone fall in love with you? No, life's more complicated than that. And also although a nice perfect happy ending would be what most people hope for, i couldnt help but feel a less ideal ending would suit the mood of the book more, haha call me evil but... All in all, i have to admit that when reading the book, i do feel a tinge of sadness for the protaganists in the story, so in that the book has achieved its purpose, in influencing its reader. It is a nice book, a worthwhile read.

I will have choices,
but in the end
it still boils down
to a singularity.

Enjoy,
love is a simple thing. It's either you love, or you don't. You can try everything, almost everything to prevent yourself from loving, but it all boils down to this: Either you love or you don't. . . Doesn't matter how long the love lasts. You'll be contented once you know you were in love before. - Grandma from "I Believe You" by Low Kay Hwa
