A Muddy, Lonely Christmas

I am sosososo tired....start counting from friday night, which worked night shift......i went home after work, juz to catch 1.5 hrs of sleep before i wake up to go to PL's hse for our JC class gathering at noon. I flew the NUS guys aeroplane cos i was supposed to be present for a friendly game, which i eventually did not turn up cos i was reali too tired.



Was so glad that we managed to get an almost 50% attendance. But i was stupid again to be relatively punctual, juz to wait for nearly 2 hours before more pple come so that we could start the steamboat. A perfect weather cos it was raining then, and Eugene did say that eventually the match was not played cos of the availability of the field. Overall this gathering is enjoyable. and Mdm Chew is certainly still a fun pal, as we have always been very sacarstic to each other over the years in funny ways. Right after the steamboat, i gotta rush home, simply becos i needa head for work again..yes, nite shift. A sacrifice i needa make in order i can make it for the coming CM trip. I needa to work extra hard these few days to cover up for my shift duties during the festive season.

Dat was not all. After the saturday nite shift, i headed straight to Kallang, in my Softball Armour right after work. Kept awake by 2 bags of Lipton Teh O. It was the FIRST TIME after last year's CM trip. Now this old, rusty softball is aching all over from head to toe.

I was very fortunate to be able to play both the games cos of the lack of players. and very very luckily i did not cause any major damages to the team..hahahahhaa. the oni damage i done was to my JERSEY....arrghhhh.....i felt like a pig, becos i told myself i need to like the mud and the wet field to play well.....but i neva expected myself to dive into a mud pool to attempt to catch a ball....It wasn't worth it....cos eventually i failed to catch the ball.....and i gotta spend more than 1 hour scrubbing my slacks and jersey, wiping and kiwing my glove and washing my boots to restore them to their orginal usable and presentable state. And i've gotten backache cos of that...

My front view of the ravaged jersey was pretty clear. This was the back view which shows my 'spotty ass', It's very obvious who played the outfielders cos only the outfielders have this spotty ass....since the infielders are not exposed to the mud on the field..oops i tink i'm getting too technical......

Speaking of ravaged....i can't help but to feel sad that the JJC Softball team had officially WALKED INTO HISTORY....Cos of the same old reasons, i believe will never change over the past 10-15 years.

• Lack of Coach
• Team has not been Winning
• The sport is very expensive

If those are really the real reasons for them closing the sport, i can only regret to say that the purpose of CCA is already gone. Instead of setting up CCAs to develop students mentally and exposing them to different sports and cultivating team work, it had degraded to one that only allows participation if it is SURE TO PRODUCE DESIRABLE RESULTS.

X mas eve (night) was spent having steam boat again, but wif family members....cos of rain. and mahjong till 2am. Yes, once i reach home after yesterday's softball, i went straight to do the cleaning up work all the way till 7pm without rest and headed to my sis's place all the way till 2am. Only to reach home and sleep ard 3am+ and waking up again at 6am to head for Work again.....

Now i'm at office btw..What a lonely X mas 'DAY'.
