Back from my typical saturday.. Great as usual.. I woke up on sat mornin feelin life's soo good w/o havin a mock exam on a sat mornin. Went over to guides to celebrate shu fen's bday, had quite a bash there! and i found out that they were goin on a CIP trip to Cambodia to help out at the schs there along wth the other uniform grps n the agape club. So Cool! Im going along wth them i guess if they allow sec4s to go. 21st nov- two days aft my Os i can fly off there to have fun!! Spending a week there. I once did a trip like this in pri6 to thailand to help teach english n it was so so so great tts why i wanna go again this time. Gotta pay 400bucks. Kinda cheap. Im glad tt i didnt get into the exemplary pupils trip, guess i gotta pay more n goin overseas to enjoy doesnt beat helpin others. Well tts me. And guess wat! my mum agreed.. Woo hoo...... Moon wanna go too hopefully her mum allows it. Kleo n Lav definitely goin!
After the celebrating shu fen's bday, me n kleo decided tt we didnt wanna go home so we went parkway to walk around n grab sth to eat.. Didnt see much.. Then Kleo's mum was at parkway too wth javier so we just walked round shopping.. Got bored then i went home.. Once i reached, i saw my mum,sis n bro going out. They were goin to my dad's office for some buffet thing.So i changed real quicky n off we went. The food was quite yummy.
Was a lil late for my hockey class tho. Haha Georg was still sick so Jerald took over class again. Two new guys joined us but they were quite pro already. One of them is kinda cute.. Eurasian.. But he has this aloof air bout him. Whats wth eurasian guys man. 2nd one i saw on the rink n both is as quiet and well, aloof. Class didnt went tt well, alot of stumbling n stuff.. No scrimmage again due to match going on. lotsa hockey players arrivin n putting on their gears. Tampines stadium having football match so there were like roars and drums beating all tt stuff. really lively atmosphere out there.
I asked Geog to bring the goalie suit for me to try so after classes, me, pam, gab, amos and marcus went over to some voiddecks to do some small scrimmage while i try on the suit. Its extremely bulky and lotsa buckles but i managed. I felt so stiff. Haha amos said i looked like a guy wth those huge paddings n helmet on. Sumo eileen! yeah i felt like a sumo wrestler. I was the size of them. The weight n bulk just causes super hotness and abit of tiredness but the worst part was the stance of a goalie. I had to bend my knees inward and feet outwards and i had to go pretty low in that position and i had to drop down on the ground n stand as quickly as possible on my skates and wth the suit. In case u wanna know how i feel just standin in goalie stance-just try just bendin ur knees n stand there for minutes. tough.and then stand n squat repeatedly movin in left n right directions. I cant tell u evrything bout how a goalie feels cause there's too much. The heaviness of the goalie stick leaves ur arms so tired u only can... OK nvm, summarising it, being a goalie needs lotsa mental strength,stamina,skills,brawn,agility. But who cares i love it! i love the challenge to push yourself to stand up when u have drop down to the ground defending the puck and feelin like u cant move again. To drop and stand, drop again n stand, only a few times leaves your face red and u sweatin like a tap. But im weird eileen i love challenges. So i guess im pursuein the path less takin by inline hockey players. Before tt i think i better become a gd team player first. Focusing on passing n shooting and the skills. Dont wanna miss out on the thing tt first drew me to I.hockey.
