day of reckoning.

Once again, i shalt not be bold to make any kind of prediction, score, scorer, how the match progresses whatsoever. I was nearly caught red-faced due to the outcome of the USA-Italy match. So lets just watch as the saga unfolds. Well, all i can say that its going to be tough, down the wire. If its penalties, so be it.

As far as statistics are concerned, i don't give a rat's ass about those damning statistics. So what if Italy has a good track record against Germany? So what if Germany are unbeaten at Dortmund for 70 years? History is constantly being rewritten. Records are meant to be broken. And the ball is round they use to say.

To side track a bit, before assembly this morning, Mr Ngeow(sp?) the VP was walking around, he spotted me getting ready for assembly. So he comes up to me, of all people and asked me what i did for the weekends. I didn't want to be a prude, nor a goody-two shoes so i replied casually that i did nothing much and watched the world cup, hoping that he would go away cause i wasn't particularly in a chatty mood, especially with the school staff. He laughed good naturedly and said its ok but did you do any work or not. I sheepishly grinned and said yes a bit lah. He proceeded to laugh and pat me at the shoulders. Before he parted, he remarked, "World is once every four years", he paused for a while and i replied yes sir i'm aware of that and about to say its normal to be indulging in the world cup now when he added," but JC is once in a lifetime."

Not the very inspirational or quoteworthy or sayings, nevertheless its an important message that struck me right in the head. I realised i had been foolish in my words, and caught tongue-tied by the VP. 120 days to A levels. Its now or never.

Later.
