I had the blankest year I saw life turn into a tv show It Was Totally Weird The person I knew I didn't really know - Nada Surf
Well people, the new year is here. So here are my late EOY 09 thank yous.
(actually, im way too lazy today to do my actual EOY thanks to everyone, like i did last year. so heres a collective thank you note. because i am a bastard.)
Dear ______,
thank you for making 2009 a friggin awesome year. remember when we _______________ that one time? that was totally (brilliant/weird). Anyway, youve been great this year, and i wouldnt be the person i am without you. i might be similar to who i am now, but yknow, not the EXACT same person because you might not have made a GIANT impact on my life in 2009. Or maybe you did, but thats all in the past now!
looking forward to seeing you again in 2010! have a great year ahead of you (dude/dudette)!
Kenneth. your unique friend who gives you very specific thank you notes.
Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small
— I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team,
we fight for that inch.
On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know
when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing.
Between living and dying.
I’ll tell you this: In any fight, it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. And I know if I’m gonna have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that’s what living is. The six inches in front of your face.
Now I can’t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes.
Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You’re gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it,
great great experience for me in live hosting, even if the crowd was kinda dead.
also, got to meet the idols! so thats awesome.
Rehersals
was mucho funny too. during final runthrough, we suddenly see beat and some of the MS Year2s running around with giant signboards and loudhailers.
you guys are awesome. really.
NYP Chinese Orchestra Musical Variations.
so, somehow I managed to get chosen to emcee a CHINESE orchestra concert.
let me repeat that, even though you can go back and read that sentence.
CHINESE orchestra
CHI. NESE.
During the first rehersals, I had no idea how to pronounce all the titles which *gasp!* happened to be in CHI-FREAKIN-NESE (whyd i sign up for it anyway...?) This somehow made all the chinese orchestra members laugh at me, and made me die a little inside.
All went well on concert day, though at one point of time I was worried as hell because of my deep monotone voice wasnt "warm and welcoming". :(
SLAPSGIVING slapsgiving saw the administering of the final slap onto Huici. (do check out www.lookoutaslap.blogspot.com)
also, because it WAS thanksgiving, a couple of us headed down to have Teppanyaki at the airport. As usual, we ended up making a fool of ourselves with trolleys and whatnot.
(and the videos have yet to be uploaded, sadly)
Winter League
was awesome. i think winter league really broke my barrier of not going in for in cuts. very very glad that i had so many chances to play on the line next to people like xiaolun and joel.
deannas very ele-bag.
look at that stride! (and those amazingly white legs (always with the positives))
the winter league also helped me be a little more aware of the game-ish, and somehow, contributed to me playing an interchangeable mid/wing/and kinda handler now.
DJAMAL THURSDAY! if you are reading this, playing on your team on early Wednesday scrimage really helped boost my confidence! thanks bro!
Other Random Shite + December, a preview. LeeYY and Fer (and no, fer has not been enrolled in hogwarts. yet.)
HI GLADYS
Huici being sulky on the floor of AMK because we forced her to watch Case39.
shiny new disc! :DDDDDD
caught up with the delightful debbie goh today at vivo city with melia and roger. somehow managed to approach starbucks 2 seconds before this line formed behind us.
we beat you suckaaaz!
had marche for dinner, which was intense because we kept pouring salt into each others coke.
so thats pretty much it, expect the next update after christmas!
