Heya..long time since i posted, yah? yah, and i know i haven't changed my layout for a very, very long time..lazy lah. anyway...yah, we lost to crescent, won nanyang, won fajar, were about to play GM, but game got postponed...haiz..i missed third lang for the match that day. me, jinghan and Yy were very upset about having to miss third lang only to have the match cancelled. then i went over to rui ling's to freshen up.. that was the original plan anyway, cuz after that i had to go straight to tammy's for the class party. as my house was in the west, it would have taken me too long to go all the way and come back. my parent were busy too anyway. ruiling's was quite close, so i went there.. i found out she plays a grand. gosh..i then tried to play ' to zanarkand' on it..nice..although i kind of forgot the notes..i din have the music score with me..haha. then of course, we went to the party. i bought drinks(actually ruilings mom bought them on her way home and i am supposed to pay ruiling on monday) and ruiling's maid made this italian dish.. yah..then we went over to tammy's. we had some fun..pushing ppl into the pool and stuff. then of course...mr freeman came over.. he looked kind of bored. then we broke the news to valerie that the party was for her. - a farewell party for her. then she was like 'oh, thanks'..haha...how typical of her. she is just so reserved...we will miss her..then i had to go home a little earlier than the rest of the class. so i and dharshini left the place together. then i came home and collapsed onto my bed (after a shower of course). then the nest day was a long one. it started at 6 am! ok. then i went to school for ICS photo taking. then after that we went to ACSB for this motivational talk. haiz..am i jealous or am i jealous? their sch is so big, nice and cool! haiz..why why why? i went to ACSI for the nanyang match and their sch too was damn cool! haha. then of course...we listened through the whole thing. then i came back and me and dharshini were talking to pass time. we also had cup noodles for lunch. what a 'heavy, good, filling' lunch! then of course, we had softball. we trained. nd trained more. then i tried, for he first time, to catch with all the equipment on. darn difficult with the equipment on. but i managed to stop and catch some of yz's balls, so i guess i was fine. then after the day was over, i came home, and collapsed on the bed again..haha

This is a really cute baseball poem i came across.
The asst. coaches even read it to us, at their farewell dinner.
[Btw, rightfield is one of the positions played in softball/baseball]

RIGHTFIELD
Willy Welch

Saturday summers when I was a kid
We'd run to the school yard and here's what we did:
We'd pick out the captains; choose up the teams
It was always a measure of my self-esteem
âCause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first
The last ones they picked were the worst...
I never needed to ask; it was sealed
I just took up my place in right field

[Chorus]:
Playing right field, it's easy you know
You can be awkward and you can be slow
That's why I'm here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow

Playing right field can be lonely and dull
Little leagues never have lefties that pull
I'd dream of the day they'd hit one my way
They never did but still I would pray
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run
And not lose the ball in the sun
And then I'd awake from this long reverie
And pray that the ball never came out to me
here in....

[Chorus]

Off in the distance the game's draggin' on
There're strikes on the batter, some runners are on
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score
The whole team is yelling and I don't know what for
Suddenly everyone's looking at me
My mind has been wandering - what could it be?
They point to the sky and I look up above
And a baseball falls into my glove...

Here in right field
It's important you know
Ya gotta know how to catch
Ya gotta know how to throw
That's why I'm here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow
