Special Dedications..

It's been a long time since my last time here, was wondering whether to let it die a natural death, where it slowly just fades away from everyone's memory, but decided to revive it again for a while at least..

It's been a hectic first 2 terms again, soccer, marking, timetabling and what not, and can't quite say that I coped well.. I can do better, I know.. Things have happened, some good, some bad, one really wonderful..

Soccer season finally ended, it was close, but not close enough, and honestly, I was really won over by the boys towards the end, where we really played attractively, but it was perhaps a step too high for us to reach.. Nevertheless, I'm really proud of what you guys have achieved, and especially to my keeper, it's been a joy coaching you, even though you still do give us heart attacks and heart aches at times, but it really fills me with pride, seeing you grow in stature and confidence, upping your game, and performing when called upon. At least you made me feel that all the time and effort, the sweat and the hours under the sun, were all worth it, and I hope that you'll take this with you in life, that if you have the belief, you will do it. Really appreciate the quiet thank you after the final game too, for that really warmed my heart. So, thank you too, Ras. I'll miss that silly smile of yours.

And thank you too, Khy and JX, for playing wonderful supporting roles, helping out, training. You guys take the tiredness away from a whole work day, and you'll never understand how great it feels to be there, with you guys on the pitch, diving, falling, laughing.. Especially JX, you are one clumsy oaf, and a constant source of entertainment.. Looking forward to *kicap* you when training resumes.. But on a more serious note, you have the potential, and I'm sure you'll do me proud come next year, so work hard..

So soccer's done and dusted, this season at least, not even sure if I'll be there for the next, I sure hope so. It's like my life blood in school, the one thing that I look forward to, even if it means Mon, Wed, Fri evenings are all taken up.. It's a feeling that I missed since my own training days, and this really gives me true joy..

On another note altogether, teaching has been good too, and though at times I really do feel jaded and feel like I need a change, there are still occassions where things just happen and it makes it all worthwhile again.. Thank you, especially, to the bunch of 08S19s, for you make it worth the waking up @ 545 every weekday morning.. There are times where you guys irritate the shit out of me, but I'm thankful still, for you bunch, and I know that I'll miss you too when it's time to leave..

I feel that I'm really drifting away from people at school.. colleagues especially, ever since the beginning of this year, when half the staff team disappeared.. I miss the weekly sessions on Thursdays, where the bunch of us would get together and play, and have dinner after.. You guys were a great team, and though we never really achieved much, it was still great to have played together, and we should really really get back again someday just for old times sake..

To the 4 "stars", it was great meeting up with you gals again, this time, for the first time, for dinner @ Kovan, where we got some unfriendly stares from the staff for staying too long, but hey, who cares, as long as we are having fun.. It's nice to be remembered, and even though I'm still unsure as to why I had such an impact, I'm glad I did.. Thank you, for remembering, and all the best, as you step upon your tentative steps in uni.. I'm sure each and everyone of you will do well, and I look forward to meeting up again soon..

Finally, to YOU, my baby.. This is for you. I thank you, for accepting me for who I am, "lame" and lame. Words will never be able to fully describe what I feel for you, so I guess you'll have to interpret them from my actions instead, and I hope I have lived up to expectations so far.. You have been wonderful, and perhaps, like you said, we were meant to meet.. It really just feels that right, and I hope it feels that right to you too.. Tmr's a big day, but I'm kinda looking forward to it too, just hope that I don't screw up.. *stress* lol.. I love you.
