feeling a tad bit "sien" these two days... can't really pinpoint the reason, but seems to be a mixture of me not being able to do anything really productive yet and me yearning for days past. regardless, i have just applied to become a relief teacher with the MOE (ministry of education) and my status is currently under consideration. thinking of teaching at catholic high (my old sec school--all boys) and/or nan hua secondary (co-ed--cuz it's near my house). i've decided to take up nicki's advice not to teach at an all-girls school cuz she thinks it wouldn't benefit both the students and me educationally as we would be too distracted (??) whatever that means. thanks a lot to my pal alex for his help cuz he himself has just started working as a relief teacher... he has been extremely helpful with my useless and dumb questions that just keep popping up about this "teaching" business.
on sunday i played my first ever match for my bro-in-law's team. it's kinda funny cuz the team is a mixture of really good players to really crappy players.. kinda his frens from the airforce/JC/workplace etc... we played against Mountbatten FC which had lotsa malays in it. needless to say they were really good and dominated us for most of the game. i had an OK debut for them i guess.. i grabbed the opening goal of the game but by half time we were 2-1 down. then in the second half i was stamped on by one of their players and subsequently found out that i had some ligament damage around my metatarsals. but i guess i felt really gutted after the game cuz in the final minute i was through one on one with only their keeper to beat and i screwed up so we lost 2-1 when it could've been 2-2. the ref was kinda weird too... i wonder if he was like bribed before the game or something.. made numerous dubious calls against our side. anyways, i've been receiving ice treatment for the first 24 hrs on my foot, followed by heat treatment.. plus some funny gel ointment the doc gave me. hopefully my foot'll be better soon.
francis and chinyen stayed over the other nite. it is so funny cuz it's been such a long time since we joked around together. but boy does it feel good to be back with them. :) miss these guys. francis is still the ultimate joker.. he calls chin-ster "golden" which is short for "golden d**k" kinda followed after beckham's "golden ballz" i guess. weirdos... so chinyen is chin-ster, i am john-ster, and francis is.. errm.. "fran-ster" (friendster) lol. how lame could we get. chinz was addicted to my LOTR RPG game within secs of playing it and francis and i went to have supper to leave the addict alone in my room. then we came back for some winning eleven. francis is soooo hilarious i swear i laughed till i cried when i watched him play. he is not a fantastic player of the game but he uses unconventional tactics to always hold us to a draw and then penalty shootout he always wins at mind games. so freaky.. lol. neways we slept at like 4am and had to wake up by 930 to catch spiderman 2 at west mall. francis had to meet daphne after the movie for volleyball with their group. really "interesting" how he keeps toking about her nowadays. he denies that he likes her but he's like "daphne this, daphne that" lol. showed me her photo the other day. she hasn't changed much except for the dyed hair i think. neways, i should get ready to go out soon.
