every dog has its day

As seen in the title, every dog has its day. This includes the converse which is definitely true, after the various proofs i went through on thursday. Maybe fate was forcing myself to rest on labour day. 

Anyway, here are the itsy bitsy details. Firstly, on thursday, we had the street soccer match (iLeague, not PES2008/2009 as some of you might wrongly mistake, which was precisely what my brother did so i added this message) at 1.30 pm. Excited as  a dog can be on its day (what day?), we bounded to the jc court, with myself rushing to the staff room and handing up the scarce amount of chinese worksheets to fang lao shi, then changing into P.E. attire and rushing to catch up with the others, all the while holding precariously to Aloy Oh's precious phone with the internazionale vs ? match paused. When we reached there, no one was in sight and they started training, with myself squinting at the tiny screen fated to cause myopia, furiously jabbing at the buttons and groaning intermittently. (Obviously i missed a goal).

Then the match started. At first, i was not in the team and we started quite well, although they scored a goal and justin came bounding back to score one more, equalising. After that, eeberything spiralled downhill and when i entered the pitch, our side had concede 6 goals and was losing 6-1. And that was like only half-half time. When i entered, everything turned for the better. For a while, nobody scored(exactly 1.58720064 seconds) and then...

they scored.

oops.

heehehehe.

ok, nothing funny in reality. So the match progressed, and jin yang was subbed in, the goalie was changed several times from Wei Ren to Adrian to Wei Ren to Adrian and to me (for exactly 0.0000001 nanosecond and this can be counted as nothing even as small and infitessimal it seems) then to Adrian and to Wei Ren. So we conceded goals like...a pool ball into their holes? like...a pinball into the wormholes? like... a ball into a net?

Never mind. But the good thing was, we scored another goal with our great Justin who would prove to be a source of great chagrin for us. At the end, we were thrashed 11-2 but i would say that Jin Yang, Aloy oh , wei ren, and me were instrumental in getting the ball out (to the opponents, as i say, bowing my head in failure). Justin was good at dribbling, and adrian was great, but daniel sng from 1i4 was better. As we watched on, he saved many goals by using his hands and placing himself in front of the speeding ball, something i would not dare. This must have been why we lost so terribly(11-2) and they lost so terrificly (3-1).

Then Justin had to kick the ball up the tree, giving himself a red card off the pitch and suspension for the next game. This is spoken without any bad or ill feelings, mind you. 

The good thing was that when walking back for lunch, me, adrian, justin and wei ren saw a snake.

A REAL LIFE SNAKE, slithering on the ground! Based on justin and wei ren, they saw the snake fall from a tree. It was slithering into the drain and as we crept closer, i could see that it was orange, with black, yellow and some red specks o its body. It was about 30-40 cm long and had a small head (like ermmm, three beans put together. You weren't expecting a name , were you?) 

So now on to the bad things and since it is super late for me, 12.07 am, i will make it very short. Firstly, during baton passing, i scratched myself above the ankleswith my shoes. Then, i banged my head on the wall and slipped while walking back home. Worst, i left my plastic bag of uniform in class and returned home to a bad scolding.

So there you have it! Every dog has his day and bad day. Just for yu le xing, Justin's worst day is this day too. 

Bye!

Yi Pin.
