OK.. Once again, SCIENCE lost to ARTS in the Netball IFG’08.. The score was 28-29 to arts. Seriously, it was a defeat that I can’t accept till now. We have an advantage over them, in terms of individual player’s skill. Today’s victory should belong to science and I’m supposed to be happily taking a gold medal back home and not the silver medal. If it was the former me, I would have thrown the medal away. The presence of the medal will remind me of the loss. I don’t like the feeling so I won’t let that happen again. Anyway, for those who were at MPSH 6, I’m sure they will agree that today’s game is an exciting one.. it was a close fight throughout.. the score difference throughout the game was never once more than 4. Everyone really fought hard.. and I kind of missed the feeling in playing these kind of tensed game. After the game, Ade came over and told me the kind of line-up they thought we will put which really stroke upon me. Why hasn’t anyone thought about that? Haiz.. Everything has come in too late and SCIENCE has to admit defeat once again. Congrats to ARTS tho.. They had the kind of teamwork which we lacked. I supposed it’s the teamwork and the composure they had that leads to their victory. Good game too, Ade and hunny!! =)
First day of the cny ended off quite early for me. This year is especially boring to me somehow; it wasn’t as joyous as the past years. Routinized as it may sound, the first place we used to visit is always our great grand mother’s place. Needless to say, with her status in the family, most of our relatives will make a trip there and eventually, that became the “gathering” point. My brother and I always have great difficulty remembering how they are related to us and of cos, the way to address them. So most of the time, we just smiled and if our parents are somewhere near us, we will seek them for help. Hongbaos were then distributed among the children. Sometimes, they can’t even remember who our parents are and have to ask us. But that doesn’t matter since we are never at the losing ends when hong bos are available. =) But everything has changed ever since my great granny passed away 2 years back. Nobody visit the place anymore. And that made our visiting even shorter. A good 6 hours is enough for us since we only have 3 places to go.
And the places that we visit are no longer as crowded.
First place: grandfather’s (my dad’s) place. That was the place where I used to live after we sold our 3-room flat. I enjoyed visiting there cos I was especially close to my aunt.
Second place: my grandma’s (my dad’s) place—the place for lunch. Then after we make our way to the
last stop: my aunt ( my mum’s sis). I would say I don’t really enjoy my stay there at times. There is nothing much for me to do over there. Yes, there are my cousins and their frens gambling there. But I JUST DON’T LIKE TO GAMBLE WITH THEM. I don’t like the vulgarities that they use. My small cousin (4 years old) even scolds cb when someone irritates him. Haiz. Besides, people converse by shouting. I’m loud in some sense, but they can be much much much louder than me. Worst thing? Smokings.. So in the end, my dad and I left early, leaving my mum and younger bro there. And with that, that ended the whole relatives-visiting of the year.
