well, that's 3 consecutive days of football, i'm physically drained.
it's a happy sort of tired, of course. yesterday's football... i'd have to say one of my worst matches, if not THE absolute worst. huffed and puffed but nothing went my way, not even the bounce of the ball. one of those games where nothing worked out, no matter what you tried. call me weird, but i was pretty damn frustrated by this, and was in a somewhat poor mood in the immediate aftermath of the game.
today's game(s)... not bad. only had one real proper match. before that i was just lunking the ball around and just playing around with Marc Leong. we switched (somewhat) to basketball when Rui Shan and Clara joined us (yes, quite odd. lol). just played around till the other people finally came. got a few nice touches in, and got a goal too, the 'van Nistelrooy' type of goal, getting to a rebound first, heh. much happier with this match than the one yesterday.
they had another match after this one, with some Sec1s joining. i opted out to go buy a drink and relax awhile. too tired. my mind was still alert, but the body just wouldn't comply, you know what i mean.
well, besides football, we had parade rehearsal today. started off the day INCREDIBLY off-form, i was seriously pissed at some of the things i was doing, and it wasn't even my fault. my lips were just REALLY insensitive. as the practice went on however, it got better. still not top-form, but at least i was doing all the important things right. my trumpet calls are good, solid, and loud, and the other parade pieces were alright.
taking care of my lips at the moment is of utmost importance. i'm a trumpeter with damn low stamina, so i gotta take good care of my lips. i've actually got 3 cuts in my upper lip. i'm basically practicing under compromised circumstances. luckily those cuts don't REALLY affect my playing, and i hope no more cuts appear in the next 2 days. in any case, i need to take serious care of my lips, at least until POP is over, after which i can take a break, and get back to studying.
it was nice seeing Glenn and Liangyun again, heh. i miss the 2 of em, Glenn for his funny-ass antics and Liangyun for his insightful comments and cutting dry humour. hope i get to see them more often in the future.
well, 2 more days before i'm officially stepping down. truth be told however, i won't really be gone till this year's up and i'm busy at a JC or something. that's just the way band is, i suppose. of course, i'll be taking more of a backseat now. i need to concentrate on my studies, after all. but i'll still come now and then. no matter how much band has put me through, it really still is the only thing which has done any (significant) thing for me as a person in secondary school. been through the lowest lows of my life in band, but, the highest of my highs has also been with the band. it's been a friggin' rollercoaster ride. you feel like barfing and quitting sometimes, but the promise of a thrill and pure exhilaration at times just keeps you there, you know? awesome shit.
in other matters in my life... well, let's just say i could do without the anxiety. but, being human, it just happens. what to do, what to do...
i am shhaaaaacked. gonna go have a nice, long, warm shower now. life's good. let's keep it that way, eh?
