byebye. don't you understand?

Today was the last day of our SL (Service Learning) project. After a 4 day 3 night camp, 10 sessions over 10 weeks today is our last day at the Jurong Minds School.

And well, after those weeks dragging our feet to come for our sessions i would definitely say we never regretted one moment of it.

To be honest, the first day i came i was shocked. The kids were so different, and what's worse, they didn't seem to know that they were different. They were really living in oblivion of their condition.

But as we warmed up to them, we realised they really actually know more than what we think they know. Watching them play captain's ball today, I really felt like we've come a long way. Felt so proud when nasar, probably only 10, managed to intercept the ball and snatch it away from other kids twice his size, and keeshaw, made spectacular snatches (then throwing them away in panic), crystal scored throughout, Fahanah never missed a chance to say OUT when the ball went out of the sidelines, Fauzi, weng kiang and weng hiang played their hearts out too.

And I just realised how irritating i must have been coz i kept shouting from the sidelines 'se xin CATCH!, shu jun RUN! crystal PASS THE BALL! Bawal block! Kok pang defend!', don't think they heard me actually. Haha. I really really hope they win during the sports carnival next saturday, most importantly i hope they play their hearts out, full of the confidence they have now (:

We really didn't think they'd understand goodbyes or even know how to react to farewells but when kah mun told them it was our last day today, some of them went 'why'? and they really actually looked sad. Some even shouted 'take picture!!', and that's precisely what we did (:

doesn't it make you wonder though?

What will become of these kids who don't know better? Who may never come to understand salvation, that Jesus died for them? Will we see them in the kingdom of heaven?

Anyway, that aside. I got back my results for midyrs.

Math - E
Chem - O
Chinese - B
Econs - B
GP - B4

it's quite horrible really. God please help me :(

Oh and Italy beat france. :(

that was my guess before the game started and during the 1st half even, but france definitely dominated the 2nd half and even the extra time but it's really just their luck that henry was injured, ribery was subbed out and zidane, zizou oh zizou.

no one knows what he was thinking when he rammed his head into Matarazzi's chest, but i guess that's just how most great people want to be remembered.

'Better to burn out than to fade away'...

this world cup was really entertaining though. Some goodbyes too.

Nakata's retiring at 29 and going to Harvard Business School. :(

ok anyway gtg study now
