There was an exciting match at Yio Chu Kang yesterday. It was the rugby competition between Bedok Kings and Singapore Armed Force for the Cup trophy. It was final match of Under 20 league. Before that, I went with my Malay friends. I left my home early as I expected to meet them just on time. But instead, they came late. By the time we met, we were ready to head for the Bungy Bar in Clarke Quay, Bedok Kings' hangout. Over there, there was the gathering and we were having lunch and meeting. Besides those activities, there was really nothing to do as I sat there, doing nothing except chatting with my friend. As there was time to depart, we received our jerseys with numbers. I received no 16.
When we reached the Yio Chu Kang by the coach bus, we changed and prepared ourselves. During the game, it did not look well in the beginning as the Singapore Armed Forces were strong like the Blacks we battled against before. We were often careless as two players missed when they tried the penalty kicks respectively. So far, overall, we scored only one try whenever our opponents scored many times. As the result, they won as the champions and we were labelled as the runners up. I noticed the disappointment on some teammates. But it did not bother me. This game was just the game. Why get serious about a small loss? We can win back next year. Even though ACJC may not play for us next time, I have confidence that we, Bedok Kings can do it on our own. This thought inspires me to train harder. I could not suppress a smile on my face when I received the silver trophy.
After we changed, we took the coach bus to go back to Bungy Bar to have the dinner. I knew there was the game between Australia and South Africa on the television. I managed to watch it a bit but I was not interested. I did not know why I was like that. In the past, I looked forward to it. Perhaps I was too tired. The dinner was yummy especially the chicken wings. After the dinner, I went out with some pals to meet other team mates at McDonald. They were having dinner over there. For me, I was having the strawberry sundae. I wanted to order the chocolate one but I was slightly sick. So I chose the strawberry instead. We were having the chat and some jokes as well.
After the Bungy Bar, we were going back. I left too as I was exhausted. As I was in the train heading towards to my home station, some thoughts had been lingering around my mind.
As my new school was approaching, I had to prepare to work harder. My friend told me that it would not be easy as I thought because there was a lot of schoolworks. Not the papers like the secondary school's homeworks and revision papers but a lot of creavities was involved. Like drawing and painting etc. They would not even spare your time for sleeping. My friend told me that sometimes one work consumed 24 hours per day. As the result, my two friends who studied in the arts school were having a lack of sleep due to heavy works. But it should be no problem for me as I had sacrificed some nights for the school and job before. I once did not go to bed for four days for the busy schedules. Yes, I'm determined to work harder in school. (^_^) As well, I'm determined to work harder in rugby purpose and my current job. Although it was not easy, I would work hard to carry on. I already knew that there was a difficult road ahead of me. So I had prepared for that. I did not have to mind the other people's opinions on me as they did not know what was on my mind. Even my parents did not share the same thought with me. They refused to fight along with me when I was a child. I admitted that my mother had disciplined me to do well in school and took care of me from childhood but honestly she did not teach me well. Not even one word of encouragement from her. Only she pacify me with some food, disciplines like caning and scolding etc, toys and video games. It's true that they had pacified me. But I felt that it was wrong because it added the fuel to my wants for more toys and games. So it's best if she can comfort me and encourage me because I have been lonely since childhood although I have some friends. When I was bullied, insulted, so lonely and heartbroken, she was not there to comfort me. She just caned me for I was naughty. Honestly, she caned me too when I was innocent and did not know what wrong I did. She refused to listen to my explanations. As the result, I grew up as the bad boy. Cut to the point. This was the reason that I determined to work harder on my job to be independent. I hoped that I could meet my expectations within one month. For the rugby, even though I could not make it to the later matches due to my course I'm having on the same time with the games, I would go to the trainings to catch up with rugby. I would train harder so that I could play for the division one which was for the stronger and bigger guys.
Overall, I'm willing to learn any mistakes ahead of me. Lord, please watch over me as I have faith in you.
Cheers!~
