silly grin
the day started slow, with me facing loads of inertia trying to fight away thoughts of not gg to run. in e end i didnt let the little voice get e better of me.
went to give tuition at bernice's n it started raining heavily. i didnt bring out an umbrella hence i asked if she cld offer an umbrella, n bring me in at the same time. tuition was alright but i personally hope to b able to help her brush up in her econs, eventually.
oh n u wouldnt believe tiz! i kena sabo-ed/arrowed to help my department play soccer. although i'm juz a temp staff, they extended e invitation to me. ok, in actual fact they had shortage of players, so they conveniently asked me. 'cindy, u look sporty leh..' i wanted to defend myself n say, 'but looks can be deceiving. n besides i noe nuts abt soccer other than dribbling' but i decided not to.
anyway, given my easy-going nature (ha!), i agreed. anw the truth is tt i really wanna contribute to the dept, even if it's in sports. although i grumbled secretly tt there goes my sat, i still went down to ITE Balestier. Yah, Balestier..i had nv explored tt part of s'pore b4.
its v cute coz they issued me wif soccer jersey, tgt wif the shorts as well as the long socks. branded ok? Kappa! i dint take any photos coz the jersey is waaay to hmm, distasteful. its bright orange n there's a big kappa design (2 person sitting n leaning, back to back) on each side of the sleeve. i reached at 2pm n i saw them playing ald. did some light stretchin n e next moment, they substituted me for another existin player, even b4 i cld say, 'but..'
no, i didnt score any goals, but did mostly defending. i did help more of the supporting role, passing it to florence (she's most pro among us) who scored e goal. its quite shagged running up n down the pitch, even though its juz a small field for the women's soccer.
we got into the semis but didnt make it into the finals, in e end, we came in 3rd n each got a trophy for it. my v 1st trophy lol. florence asked me to come back n play for them next yr. i think a lil compliment goes a looong way. she gives me a v 女强人 feel, she's pretty n her kid is too. i kept myself occupied by playing wif her kid. she told her kid, rebecca, " ahhh diz one u can call jie jie. the rest hmm, call auntie" hahaha apparently florence was v shocked aft knowing my age, n said tt e rest r almost twice my age. i really find rebecca v adorable. she's really tt kinda kid u wanna play wif n tickle n even spoil, abit. e shirt tt she was wearing had prints tt said, 'spoil me..i'm a princess!' so young, yet so cute.
i'm glad i went for the game coz it was an excellent opportunity to talk to pple whom i didnt know, exist in the dept. there's diz woman who was wearing a timex watch, den i asked her, 'do u run alot? coz tt explains ur watch tt u r wearing' aft tt we started chatting bout running, injuries n even, er..fireworks? she's 50 but she looks 40 at most. the magic of exercising! keeps u young.
dinner celebration was at marina. we ate at Ministry of Food, Centrestage. the food is pretty value for money. needless to say, the venue was picked to catch the fireworks display. although we didnt have a perfect view, it was enough to satisfy us. i nd to thank my frens for e effort they have put in to organise this, as well as get my practical presents. thanx for the watch..n the handbag. now i no longer nd to carry my crumpler bag to work. i muz say our friendship is indeed maturing to another level. the topics we discuss r no longer abt studies, but abt work, clothings, fashion, best bargains. aft watching the fireworks in comfort, we went to tinkle toes to browse shoes. i bought a pair of brown heels.
lipin let me drive her car today. tts e reason why i'm still smiling to myself even though tt was 2hrs ago? tiz is e 1st time i'm driving aft i passed m driving more than 1 mth ago. was jittery when we changed-over n she let me drive. "ok cindy, adjust rear view mirror, side view..ready to go?" n then i step accelerator like there's no tmr. they reported tt i went up to 120km/h at some instances. i was damn high la. i juz cant explain e feeling but it juz feels damn liberating. but i really nd to brush up on skills. back to old habit of lookin near, n got many moments of incorrect braking. i wan clutch n gearbox! i wan manual car..i like to drive manual.
heh anw right aft i dropped us at the bus stop near her place, i went outta e car wif weili n she was saying i look like a kuku, smiling to myself. even the bus ride home, i juz cldnt contain my happiness n laughed to myself.
thanx my frens, for the evening. ur presence beats ur presents. it makes a difference ;]
