Never in my life, has a day been ever so hectic like todae (okay okay. i probably said it then, and will say it again sometime in the future again)

I remembered staying up late yesterday cursing at the fact that i have to wake up EXTRA ( and by 8am, i really mean EXTRA) early the next day, and with successive events to really occupy me and squeeze my stamina out for the day.

report was a jerk. i wonder how lyn got herself to finish it up. i had to rush to 4 different places before 2pm, and then comes the kids.....

oh yes. something new did finally happened in my life. im coaching football at griffith primary now. the junior team in fact.
kids.
precisely.
imagine 3434259 eight-year-old kids bugging me, pulling my shorts/shirts/ hair/ socks asking me to let them play when i can only choose 11 players to play at once.
they can be a pest, but at the end of the day, i laugh thinking about the stories they came up to IMPRESS me (so that i select them to play)

and ohh. just a short story to tell.
a chubby kid came up to me and this conversation happened:

kid: coach, budak2 gemuk selalu jadi goalkeeper tau. ( coach, do you know that all the fat kids become goalkeeper?)

me: abih asal tak jadi? (so why dont you become one?) [ okay i felt bad when i said that. seems like im implying that he is indeed, erm, fat]

kid: tak nak ah. selalu main dengan kawan2, asyik kena jadi goalkeeper je. tak best. saya nak main defender. boleh dpt bola. (i dont want to. usually when i play casually with my friends, i always get picked to become the goalkeeper and its no fun. i prefer to become a defender instead. that way, i can get the ball more.)


pity ah. i realised fat people are probably seen as unfit. so being a goalkeeper can be seem degrading. oh dear. well, thats just one of the many stories. i'll keep updated if theres any better. oh well, i cant wait for tmr's game.
