____I Really Would Like To...
I want to. I need to. I had 2 chances already this weekend. I chose not to. I'm sorry - to myself.
Because I have to get my priorities right. Please give me these chances again after exams....

____Look Who's Needy Now...
It's me! It's me! It's me! AHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!
For more information, click here.
Ok, so it was a "Man Of The Match" performance. Or maybe they gave it to me because I got injured in the dying minutes. But then, I still like it!
Went for some science faculty street soccer competition today at NUS. Damn it, remind me not to join without a properly assembled team again. No offence to Raymond, who did quite a lot to get the people down to form a team, but I really can't play well if the people around me aren't playing well.
Think Paul Scholes. He is one player that needs the other players to be moving, supporting and passing so that he can do what he does best - play make. Still, it was fun being able to display some skills and team moves at a competitive court soccer tournament, but maybe the next time we should assemble a better, winning team.
Been really busy with assignments these days. Hopefully everything clears up within the next week. Then I can fully concentrate on the coming examinations.
Somehow, I don't find it as enjoyable anymore. Maybe the stress is too much. Too much assignments due. Maybe the fun exam study group isn't here anymore. Now it is just Siqiang and I - and even so, sometimes, he has got a lot of other commitments. Maybe, it's just me. I'm just expecting too much.
Okay, I'm just missing the times when studying was actually fun...

____FECA wins!
Guess what? I busted my ankle again. Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. I busted my ankle again. This time it isn't that bad. Slight sprain but I can still hobble around. Good thing though Feca finally registered our first win since I started playing for them. Had to wait 3 games before today.
Actually I could already feel the win coming. Last week, I was already playing a very decent game in centre mid. We scored first but due to a couple of defensive lapses, conceded 2 goals and we ultimately lost 1-2.
This week though, we learnt our lesson and after taking a similar 1-0 lead in the first half, we kept our focus on the game in the second and prevented most of the opponent onslaught. With our opponents attacking, we had holes to exploit and soon the second goal came. With the second goal, the game was already over and we cruised to the final whistle scoring a couple more.
Good Game. Finally a stable centre mid partnership in Lianshi and I...
Final score 4-0. FECA WINS.

____The Latest "Bo Jio" Trend
This semester is really not looking too good now. Since returning to hall in December, I realised many things have changed. Even though I was pretty much involved in a few IHG teams, I have come to realise that maybe there isn't much reason for me to stay in Hall One anymore.
Soon, the ambitions of Aik Leong and Shaun would bring them to Hall Six where the chances of capturing the coverted soccer champions medal will be higher than with Hall One. Next year it would really seem that there's no point joining the soccer team. Just take a look at this year's first team, of which Lianshi, Kenny, Mingwei, Qibin, Kaile, KengChew and Vynesh are amongst some of the final year students. So what's left now is me, Siqiang, Aloy, Junwei, Aaron and Haikel. And, surprise surprise, the current year 2 batch offering not a single player.
This sucks.
However, what has left me reeling in anguish is the situation where everyone seems to be playing the solo game now. And this is the main gist of my latest rant. There is no more coorperation, no more double-checking, no more reminders, no more urging of each other. I wouldn't really call this selfishness but maybe I have been to used to working in a group now. And since the group is seemingly torn apart, by nothing less than women, I'm really very much inclined to giving up next work year's stay in hall.
Yet, I am not ready to call it everyone else's fault. Because the situation now has left me in a more disadvantageous position than the rest. As a person who probably work better in groups, I have been left to pick up from where I stopped - alone. Indiscipline has left my work snowballing to a gigantic pile.
So the self-interrogating me has left me wondering if I had done any wrong. Or rather have not done anything right. Like maybe not becoming the one who drives the rest on. Or maybe not giving a general direction to which how the various projects and work is to be managed. Or just being obnoxious and selfish myself. Maybe nothing has changed except me.
I really don't know. Like how many other questions that I ask myself don't seem to have an answer.
Fight or flight?
The peace-loving nature in me chose the flight option. I know I cannot voice opinions out without ever getting in a rage or hurting others or just spewing a string of vulgarities. As such, to prevent the second major bust up in 2007, I chose to go home last night.
And vent it all out here.
