the game against india was our last and finally i got to see some ball action :) yay! hahaha. made a stupid mistake in the first half which saw me being subbed out. when i dragged the ball to their strong side, immediately i could hear coach smacking his forehead shouting "NO!". ya. and when i did it, i just wanted to turn back time and go the other way. i don't know. it's like a reflex thing. i felt so dumb when i got subbed out.

then in the second half, i was subbed in and i got a chance to redeem myself. and i did! i dribbled to MY strong side :) and jinged over the india girl's stick. and she happily pushed me. ALMOST lost my balance.. but hey i've got trunk like legs for a reason! and yes. no one can topple my tree! except myself. and i got past 2 indians! yay :) hahaha. for a moment that sounded rather. wrong.

managed to do a 2-on-1 with pris and we penetrated the D and i got a short corner.

shucks. farah totally won the bet la. idiot.

and i happily screwed up short corner. had a 'brain explosion'. a phrase coach always uses on us when we screw up. and i got a scolding after that from him. i have no idea what i was doing. i think i knew i had to push. but i didn't. or i realised it at the last moment when it was too late. okay to save my ass, i'm gonna opt for the latter.

so it was a good finale :) i feel. at least we got some attacking chances and really held the indians back. you could see they were getting frustrated. though we lost our structure and discipline, we still held out well :) and i feel proud to have been proud of this team and played the 4nations.

so.. what does my future hold now? bleah.

on to happier moments. jing and belle came over after the game :) they were my no.2 supporters 'cause xinn takes no.1 spot :) 'cause xinn has been to more games and she even gave me some feedback. hmmm. :)

managed to get the car out that night. my sister was totally paranoid. she checked the mileage on the car and warned me not to drive too far out and go gallavanting. and if i do anything stupid, she will know. quite psycho right? i don't wanna be her daughter. but then again, my sister is a very loving person. way before she became psycho (after she came back from the states) she was a very loving sister. i mean she still is, but her love is getting abit psycho. nonetheless, i will miss her alot when i leave for the states.

sooo :) i droveee!!!!!!!!!! wheee!!!!!!!!!!! and i reversed parked :) very very skillfully :) but belle says it's cause i had a large space. but ehh. look at whui. hahahha she couldn't even go in straight. even though she keeps demanding that she did :) and whui looks mighty hot driving a red mazda.

i bet if her red mazda was a convertible. she would be whistled her and totally harrassed by cheeko men! and they will start giving her raised eyebrows and look cool and wink. wahh. FREAKY. hahaha then they will throw their name cards into her car, put their hand to their ears flashing their gold chains and mouth "da wo". hahaha that kinda came out so wrong. if you don't get my hanyinpinying it means "call me". or it can also mean "hit me". OH GOSH. KINKY LA!
