Soccer Night

What I did on a Saturday night? Hmmm, watching soccer on TV: Singapore vs Malaysia (should have been there actually but due to something, had to stay home). I thought team Singapore was pretty good, but a waste, many chances were missed and sadly, we defeated a goal through a very stupid mistake. I was told Lionel Lewis is one of the best goalkeeper in Singapore, but from what I observed during the match, that goal was never meant to be had he kept it in place properly. So what I did, being alone at home, I smsed my sis who was at the National stadium and told her, Gosh Singapore has to lose with such a petty goal.

But, thank goodness, at 74th minute, Singapore stayed focus and scored a goal. And keeping very close contact with my sis at the stadium, she informed me that there was a fight between Malaysia and Singapore supporters. Interestingly, that should be fun to watch (though I did tell her to keep away from that area). Now suddenly, my excitement (though watching it alone) roared high and believe it or not, I am cheering for Singapore alone at home (I must say, its kinda sad doing that alone).

Going to the extra time, there was still no score but one can see many occasion where Mr Lewis and his defenders were not working in tanderm. It slowed down a little and looking like the match would end with sudden death. Roaring again at 22nd minute of extra time, yet, another point at losing possesion. And moments later, at 23rd minute, poor concentration again by Singapore. But soon after, Precious (like what a name rite) kicked and nearly hit home a win but was well-blocked by Malaysia's goalkeeper. And even at home, you can hear the swears and screams of the fans (the familiar tunes back from the Malaysia cup days) and not forgetting the horns. They just seem to be enjoying every moment of it. Extra time over, and now the scary moment, PENALTY SHOOT OUT.

First: Indra (GOAL)
First: Mal (Goal)
Second: Alam Shah (GOAL)
Second: Mal (Goal)
Third: Mustafic (GOAL)
Third: Mal (Goal)
Fourth: Faizal (Goal)
Fourth: Mal (Goal)
Fifth: Jia Yi (GOAL)
Fifth: Mal (No Goal)


And with penalty kicks, Singaopore WON! YEAH! SO happy, singapore made my day! I am sooooo happy. Final: SINGAPORE vs Vietnam or Thailand (most likely Thailand).

My darlingz

These are my new darlingz...my kids for everyday from 7.15 till about 1 pm. They are my students. Heard a rumour that may change soon. May be switching classes with another colleague. Hmmm, I am miserable about that, but if that comes, can I say no? Off coz not, though I do feel like a ball, being bounced around. But till that comes, I shall savour the moment with my devilish yet angelic darlingz.


Plans that falter

Trying to leave,
But can't
Trying to forget,
But fails
Trying to let go,
But falter
Can one stop trying?

Planning to depart,
But stay
Planning to be apart,
But inseparable
Planning to divert
But unachievable.
