OF sports and its ups and downs.

haha...
once again,
our form 3 non-athletes have gotten a SILVER.

all this while,
our year have always gotten silver.
let's go down memory lane shall we.

2007' we were fresh faced form one-ers, and our very first non-athlete game was WATER BALLOONS. this was the most shuang game ever. ^.^
i was the form 1 so-called leader. and yuga was leader for playne too.
we kept practicing throwing the balloons from super far distances but
when it came to the real day, the distance was so unbelievably short.
we got SILVER for the first time.
POPE house got 2nd place.

2008' leader again. this time the game was a little harder with all those tiny beans.
SILVER once more. and Yuga was leader again too.
POPE got the SECOND PLACE. together with the Discipline Cup. to the dismay of the Playnians who got it year in year out. our cheerleaders got 1st place too.
this year was the really bangkit year for us, POPEeans.
we were 3rd of 4th place at first, but after the athletic events, we jumped up to 2nd.
spirits were on high. and McNeil bangkited too, to 1st place status.

2009' heheh....this year was a really simple game. but yet, we still got SILVER. us the form threes. hehe...see our triple silver? yuga was leader TOO.
this year, we are at last place after the shotput and non-ath and sukan tara.
but still, my hopes are up that our athletes, marchers and cheerleaders can win it for POPE. let's see what God has decided this Saturday.
Hopefully we get the champion, or even 2nd place.
hopefully, just hopefully.
ohya, with Ong An Chyi heading the art department,
we might just get the most creative theme and deco too ^.^
"AN CHYI U RAWK!"
haha..

nonetheless, 
what sports day is complete without it's fair share of bad moments.

as we the form threes were competing,
me and cheryl who had already completed our turn were shouting words of encouragement to our fellow friends.
we shouted " MA MAN LEI"
cantonese for slow down.
because we were asking our fellow friends to take their time in blowing the ping-pong ball.

TAKE NOTE : 3, just 3 words of chinese.

who would have known,
after the game ended,
Miss Goh,
yes, the Miss Goh, the principal
sort of stopped us and asked me and cheryl's classes.
and she went on about how inappropriate it was and "no matter what, as a prefect, u should know better".
and that very moment,
I was like,
{in my mind}
you are going to demerit MY CLASS just for THREE words of ENCOURAGEMENT?
and as st. marians would know,
a demerit from the principal is a costly 20 MARKS.
three words, just three words.
as I have been taught,
when it comes to the spirit of sportsmanship,
there is ABSOLUTELY NO LANGUAGE BARRIER.
in fact, our team mates will feel more at ease, more safe, and LESS pressured
when they are reassured in their own comfortable language.
I'm a little speechless..
I prayed and prayed she would forget about demeriting my beloved class, 
and even more so, POPE.

thank the Lord,
she has not till today, enter my class and demerit.
I THANK GOD,SO MUCH.

even if she does,
I'll take it like a MATURED WOMAN.
=)

First Love

Image
When I think about the topic mentioned above, all the bittersweet feelings and memories flood back. Well, people usually get all mushy talking about this, whether or not the outcome was good. I mean, isn't it something learning to love another person for the first time, someone who isn't blood-related? Someone who could be a complete stranger, as far as blood lines go?  For some incomprehensible reason, I just felt like writing about this. Probably because I never really addressed this matter personally in black and white. Maybe for most people, their first love came in the form of a girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, mine came in the form of a best friend. Yes, my first love could be all the more memorable. Memorable, I would say in the way that it taught me painful lessons. Painful but meaningful lessons. I guess I have said this many times, but  love is really loving the person even if he/she doesn't love you the same way .  Which basically goes to say, that ...

i sing praises to your name

i just really wanna thank God for speaking to me and assuring me in some stuffs. He has really been a great comfort during these few days, as well as during my trip. well, wanna know more, you can always ask me in person. and i don't know about you guys, but reading back through old entries in my spriritual journal can be a great source of ideas, wisdom, and reminders to me. haha, i might've not really pay attention to what i was journalling at that time, (well, cause sometimes when you do devotion, you can be really tired and unfocused kan), but when reading them back, they really do make sense! ;) some of the unusual ways God works. anyway, here is a passage in the Bible which was like right on point for me. *pause* suddenly thought of this wonderful song, God is the Strength of My Heart . it's a great song.=) ok continue XD. taken from Isaiah 51. vs 14-16 "The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; for they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack brea...

He's Not The One 2

^ The title above refers to a poem with the same title that I wrote back in high school. After church camp, my mind was opened a little to the notion that maybe, just maybe, he isn't the right one. I guess the past two years, I have been so caught up with my feelings in this un-burstable bubble that I could not view the whole situation in a more sensible fashion. Indeed, I was waiting for the time that I could step back and look at my problem from the outside. Camp was my chance. I was far from my source of misery, closer to other people  in general. The chance I got to meet some other friends in the past weeks has also helped me a lot and I'm so very thankful to the Lord for sending all these marvellous people. I got to look at my situation from a totally different point of view. They might not know it, but talking to the two awesome Js was quite a big help and release. And then there was my Kor and my favourite siblings . Haha, that's why currently I'm an advo...
