tp vs nyp today.
i felt that the girls really really really wanted it alot.
they fought hard as a team.
and like what i've said many times, sometimes its ppl that are either at the right place, right time or, otherwise.
i dont think anyone wanted the outcome to be like that. and honestly, from where i was sitting and trying to shoot, i CLEARLY saw the down first. i am sure, that the spectators saw it as a CLEAR down first.
i guess we'll just have to respect the ref as it is and be a gd sportsman.
when the game ended, i was really... speechless.
not that NYP didn't deserve to win or what, but like... v v v wasted it. both teams wanted it. TP wanted it alot. things just keep happening. both teams kept they're 6 touches. but TP was in their danger zone most of the time and used up 6 touches to get near to their scoreline b4 they could do more.
i guess a draw would be be the most appropriate? hahs. who am i to decide anyway. but as a ref, i do know that when i doubt and if the side line ref's not sure, it's best not to make major calls but to set it up again with a roll ball. that's what i've been taught and learnt.
tp has been the defending champs for POL-ITE for 3 yrs in a row. and each time, the fight's never been easy. coach has put in alot of effort and energy, and so has the players, gearing up not just physically, but mentally.
well,
not all's over yet. do not loose hope.
anything still can happen.
ok. so on my life today, almost late for sch today coz i missed bus no. 5 (saw it leaving while getting off 87) and waited for another 25mins!
on bus no.5, though crowded, i managed to find a seat. i place my big bag on my lap and leaned forward. i dont usually do as i'd sit lower and lie back to the max. but today, i just did that.
then just infront of me, there was this guy reading a book with no pictures; just like any other boring story book that i wouldn't take notice of.
somehow, my eye got caught on a few words of the book. probably out of curiosity.. i dont know. but, i know, i dont do that in life, but today, i just did that.
the first words i saw was.. "... as some girls was shopping with their friends...." or smth like that. i thought it was just another teenage story book. then his hand moved and blocked the whole of the left page. i looked at the right page.. then i saw.. "... our Lord God love us to..." and kena blocked. i have never tried reading someone else's book but today, i just did that.
from then, i tried to read more.. and saw more words like 'God' 'faith' 'love' 'want' 'to' 'holy spirit' coming up. then i realised it not just a story book but a christian one. instantaneously, i knew that oh man! its another of God's creative ways of reaching to the lost. last time, it was someone's orientaion t-shirt. now, it's this.
then he turned to the next page. on the last part of the left page.. it was a verse. it read.. "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to.. Romans 12.." and his hand blocked parts of the paragraphs.
so then. i turned my head away and rested on my big bag.
i gave much thought about those words while waiting for the bus to reach sch.
all i know what strucked me was... 'be constant in prayer'. and i knew i wasn't.
in lectures, i thought abt this. i was paying attention in lecture though! but when she's not talking or during discussion, i just thought abt that, and even msging my friends to help me refer to their bibles for the full verse.
so now, at home, i've just checked...
from the NIV version:
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another."
and from the ESV version:
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another."
so ESV was the one.
looking at it part by part, it is speaking to me with regards to the different situations that i'm facing in life now. be it self-esteem, discipline, faithfulness, dislikes and so on, it's just another chocolate bar to booast me on.
haiz.
this morng + the game + the colourful languages...
