ok the last time i blogged was in may.. lol. WOW..did you guys see the new softball sec2 batch blog?? tami changed the skin. and its nice!! haha. ruiling came up with the secnd episode of princess jing's diary...and in it, it says that the O-SO-HOLY-ME gave the idea to have a currency for the nation. am i brilliant or am i brilliant?? lol!! ok....federer won the tournament. very expected. that day wanxin was grumbling away that hewitt lost the semifinals. haha. well wanxin, every one has his own peak!! ok. whats wrong with me. i come up with the most random things at the most random times. haiz. well youth day is today. but look what i'm doing? MATH pt. actually, i haven't started. i was thinking to start after this post. but will i? i never know. lol ok i shall stop crapping. but i still have to go meet some frens for another pt. i couldn't go and help the pitchers catch today..and i dun think jing was going either..so i dunno how they're managing..but well.hope their fine...haiz. they will be. OK. NUS competitions. oh guess wat? when i was on my way to the competitions, i actually saw a lot of softball matches going on on the field. nus open, it think. well i din really get a very close look. i din know which team was against which team, but even from afar i could tell that they were good, whoever was playing. ok anyway, NUS debators, good job!!! haha. my heart kinda stopped when they announced that ACSI won...i thought theere must be a mistake lar...i mean....i really felt that we stood a much better chance. but oh well...there was a mistake in the announcement anyway. so now we're on to the finalss!! haha. ok lets go and beat deyi and be winners!!! how's dance and drama doing anyway?? never heard any news about they're results. oh well..good luck to all of you participating. ok. now. back to softball. we've got peicai match coming up... well i know we lost the ftp match and everything...but there is still this little tinge of hope, you know.. well i was reallly guilty during the ftp match cuz i was playing catcher, there was 2 down and there was runner on 3 and then the batter hit the ball to naomi and i called for home. and so naomi threw to home instead of 1 but the runner on 3 never ran back home and so the runner on 1 was safe. anywya, point is, i kinda caused naomi to not throw one and so because of that three more runs came in. haiz. it was such a waste. but anyway, we should really forget about it...and concentrate on the next game comign. hmm. welli think i'll go do pt now. haiz. dun even wanna think about it.. buaiz!

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
