my day was a balanced one.

IHG (inter-hall games) soccer guys put up a fight with Eusoff hall today. it was an exciting match. HH scored a superb goal, it was really beautiful. when he scored the goal, it was 2-1, we were leading. jerm, eunice, sw and me screamed and screamed when hh scored. it was a truly happy moment. happy is a word that understates how we felt. we were, ecstatic. yes, ecstatic describes that moment better. the game ended with a 2-all draw. and we're out of the game. yea, we did the tunnel for the boys, and then we stood around the field in awkward silence. sure we were dejected. but that happens. nobody wins all the time.

HH, juz wanna let u know that i'm damn proud of u.

i met Ms Julia Goh at Seng Kang Secondary, before the soccer game was played. cuz jerm, lena and sw wanted to use the toilet there, but the gate was closed. and so i stood there and saw Ms Goh walking towards us, and i was very surprised to see her there. cuz i haven't met her since she left Hai Sing. she never taught me before, but i respect her a lot. she was a discipline mistress before she left haising, and she has this powerful aura that calls for everyone's respect. it's like before assembly, everyone will be talking or goofing around in the hall and when she walks in the hall and up the stage, the whole hall will quieten down. it's amazing. cuz no other teacher had that kind of ability. jieyun, sarah, and all the haisians who read my blog can vouch for that. but the most memorable thing about ms goh is that when she prays, she says "father" a lot. and we would count the number of "father" she made in a prayer. i can't remember the record. it's probably around 30 in her longest prayer. when she left haising, a lot of people cried. i can't remember if i did. but i probably teared. it was really nice to see her again.

after supporting the soccer match, i went to mel's house for a "reunion" steamboat. reunion cuz it's like pre-CNY gathering. sorry that cindy couldn't come. yizi said she has eye infection and had to go to her grandpa's place to teach someone to make cheesecake. mel's parents being their usual self, were very hospitable uncle and auntie. jp, was there too. so the 7 of us, mel, jp, jean, jody, yizi, yuxin and me had a good meal of tepan-steamboat. played heart-attack, magic goggle (jerm juz taught me the other day) and indian poker with drinks. even though the drinks were damn diluted, i didn't fail to turn red. jean and jody are afraid of dogs btw. and mel has a doggy, jojo (real name joey). so half the time when we were playing the games in the living room, jojo had to be kept in the kitchen which is damn poor thing. i'm embarrassed to admit that i had good laughs at the twins when jojo went near them. the rest of us had to hold down the dog so that the twins can pat it. jean was damn cute lar. she wanted to pat the jojo so she made yuxin to protect her. then whenever she stroke jojo's fur a bit, she'll slap yuxin's hand or thigh to "neutralize" the touch. it was damn funny!! jean slapped yuxin like she couldn't help it. haha =) we also took a lot of funny photos in mel's house. think yizi will upload them tmr, so u guys can go check out her multiply. mel drove all of us home tonight. thanks mellie!! for the steamboat and the ride home.

i'm really very happy to see the girls. =) i'm always happy when i get to see them anyway. hehe. i hope it won't be too long till we meet up again.

oh, i bought the most important man ever in my life a polo-tee. i hope he likes it =) i was so sorry that i forgot his birthday, and i still am sorry. he loves me more than he loves his wife. and i really felt like crap when i realized that the whole family, including me of coz, forgot about his important day. yea i know a shirt is not enough to make it up to him, but i hope he'll be happy when he sees it when he comes home later.
