Happy Halloween everybody! Didnt do much today, except that my bro and me painted the kitchen just now. I was in the shower, when my mom knocked on the bathroom door and told me to paint the kitchen with my bro. She could've told me earlier, so that I wont take a shower first. But since I was already showering, I decided to go on with it. It took us about 3 hours to paint the kitchen. It was hard work, but then the result was satisfactory. So now I know what to do when I decide to paint my room after my brother leaves, which Im hoping will be soon, hah!
Hmm, first update since Monday...again, sorry for the lack of updates. Let me just give a recap of what I did these past few days. Played badminton on Tuesday and Thursday night. The Tuesday session was better compared to the Thursday one, but Thursday's was a little tiring, since there wasnt enough people, so I had to play like, 5 games straight. Not that I mind, its a good workout anyways. I thought my stamina held up well, until tonite.
I just got back from playing futsal, and bloody hell, I felt like I was gonna die out there! I was only on the pitch for less than 5 minutes, running up and down several times, and I had trouble breathing. Last Friday when I played, I didnt feel anything, but that was mainly because I was concentrating on defense. But tonite, I really had trouble. I think I went out after 15 minutes, just so I could catch my breath back. 4 months out of action really does affect my stamina.
That wasnt the only bad thing that happened tonite. There was one time, as I was defending, I made a quick turn to the right, and then I fell down, my knee giving out. It started to hurt, but I got up, and walked it off. I think it was pretty clear that I was slightly limping on the pitch. That really affected my mind, and also the way I play. Made lots of mistakes, and also felt a little scared to really get into the thick of things on the pitch. Feeling disgusted at myself, I left the pitch and told my friend to replace me. After that, I sat on one of the benches that was available in the area, and reflected the past 4 years when I first busted my knee.
Its pretty sad, and at the same time, pathetic as well, because before I had this injury, I would play football without a single care in the world. I dare to say that I was good, but now...I dont know what to say. I miss playing football during those days. Now, everytime I want to dribble past someone, I find myself thinking twice about doing it, because at any time, my knee will screw up. Its absolutely frustrating to play that way, wanting to do something but not being able to pull it off without hurting myself. After that, one of my friend came and gave me some advice on how to take care of my knee. After hearing what he said, Im determined that I can somehow be able to overcome this problem. All I have to do is be patient, and discipline myself for 'treatment'. And then I went back on the pitch coz my friend was exhausted, but I didnt really play, I just kept it simple.
Kinda long update ^^; Thanks for taking the time to read, although I have a feeling that most of you will just browse through this post =p
My class was cancelled today. My college called when I was in the shower, I saw the number on my mobile phone, recognized it as my college's number, then called my friend to confirm. He was on his way to college, but he confirmed that class was cancelled. After that, the college called my house phone, and told me it was cancelled lol. Then I was online, talking to a few friends, when another friend of mine told me that my other class was cancelled too. I didnt believe him at first, then I asked my friend who was on the way to college to check for me, and it turned out that there was no class today, woohoo!
Its a good thing that I was still at home when I found out that there was no class. I'd hate to be told when Im halfway to college. I'd be wasting my money...
I played futsal just now, and it was simply awesome! I mean, I havent played football for 4 months after hurting my knee again in June. My cousin called a few days ago and asked if I wanted to play, but I told him that I cant, since I just got back from injury. But he told me to take it slowly, as in not playing too hard, so I agreed.
Yesterday's pitch was a little big compared to other futsal pitches, but that doesnt matter. I played at the back, because I know that it will be good for me, considering my knee and all. It was a great game, and I had a great time too. My knee felt ok, it didnt give me any troubles *touches wood*. I did made a few runs to the opposition area, and all in all, I can still play, hah! I look forward to playing more next time
At 7.55am today, our (Malaysia's) Prime Minister's wife passed away, due to breast cancer. Her death shocked and sadden all of us, and my heart and prayers goes to the Prime Minister and his family.
It rained today, heavily. The worse part was, it rained in the evening, where most people are heading home from work. So, you can imagine the amount of traffic on the road. It was insane! Especially now since its fasting month, everyone will be rushing home to break fast. And it gets worse if it rains, like today. I was caught in the traffic for more than an hour, when normally it'll take me 15 minutes from the train station. I was supposed to meet my bro and his wife at the mall for break fast. Since they were already at home, I told them I'll find my own way there. Never thought the traffic would be that bad! I really hope that it wont rain anymore in the evenings, especially during fasting month x_x
I slept for most of the lecture in class today. I was really tired, but the weird thing is, I dun even know why I was so tired. I had a morning class today, and that class itself is pretty boring. I tried my hardest to not fall asleep, but I failed. So I ended up dozing off in class. But I wasnt totally out of it tho, as I could still hear the lecturer talking. And I 'got up' every few minutes. The funny thing was, when I was 'up', I turned to my left and saw my friend dozing off. Then I turned to my right, my other friend was dozing off too! I thought to myself, "dont make it so obvious guys!", but then, I was doing the same too, so I cant blame them ^^;
My next class was cancelled, so we get to go home earlier today hahaha.
I played badminton just now!! Its my first sports activity ever since I hurt my knee way back in June. Didnt play that well tonite, but that's expected since I havent played for so long. Also, I was kinda 'scared' of playing, since I didnt want the knee to get injured again, and that affected my game just now ^^; But after a while, I trusted it, and slowly played like how I used to play. Halfway through the game, the string on my racquet broke. Good thing my dad asked me to keep his racquet in my bag last time, so I used that instead. Overall, it was a great workout. Suprisingly, I didnt run out of breath during the game, but as of now, Im dead tired. Looks like my stamina is affected as well. Oh well, I'll build it back up, no worries hahahaa. Im playing again on Tuesday nite, and Im looking forward to it.
Another week has passed, and only one update so far...Im slacking off again. Anyways, I'll recap what happened to me this week. Tuesday was a freaking hot day! I walked home from the bus stop, and when I reached home, my vision blurred for a short while, and I proceed to lie down for like 5 minutes on the sofa. Its a good thing I didnt faint or anything when I was walking. Nothing much happened after that, just the norm.
It was a normal day on Wednesday, so I wont elaborate on that. Went to my cousin's house after my college on Thursday, she had a party for her birthday. Her family thought of having a barbeque near the pool (they live in an apartment), but while we were setting up the fire, it started to rain, so no barbeque that nite. But we managed to 'barbeque' the food indoors tho, using this electric barbeque thingie.
On Friday, one of my classmate arrived a little late for class in the morning, and since the seat next to me was empty, he sat there. As soon as he sat, there was this really weird smell coming out from somewhere, and when I looked at his face, I knew it was him. His face looked like he just got out from bed, and I came to the conclusion that he didnt take a shower in the morning x_x It was really uncomfortable sitting there next to him, and I changed my place after a break in between the class. All my other friends asked me why I changed the place, but I just smiled at them lol.
As for today, well, I spent my time working on my assignments. After this, Im gonna take a deserved break and watch animes hahaha.
I feel so 'out of it' today. Everything I do seems to be lacking passion, and by evening, its like my brain stopped working. I was on my way home, and was buying the train ticket home. I gave the money, but i also added 30 cents there. Then the cashier asked me, where I wanted to go, I told her my destination, and realized that I made a mistake lol. I apologized to her, took back my balance and the 30 cents, then walked off. After that my friend shouted to me, I turned around and I realized that I forgot to take my ticket x_x That wasnt all, at the other train station (I have to take two different trains), I gave the money to the cashier, then told her that I want to go to that place. She gave me a weird look, and I was like, oh shit, wrong place, I actually want to go to...I stalled, because I forgot what the name of the place was ^^;; After that, the cashier grinned at me, and I quietly walked away, embarrassed.
I blame me being tired for the embarrassing moments I had today. Travelling long distance to college as well as fasting is slowly taking its toll on me. Hopefully things will turn for the best soon.
Its been a rather 'interesting' week. New semester started, met some new people, new lecturers, and of course, new assignments. Im already doing some research on my assignments, as I wont have the time to leave things at the very last minute anymore. Apart from that, everything seems to be in order. Also, fasting has been a breeze. Hope it stays that way.
First day of fasting today, and so far, its going ok. Besides, its not like anything's gonna happen anyways. It rained heavily on my way back from college. My sis in law picked me up, and after we reach a toll, the rain suddenly stopped. It didnt rain there, but it was raining heavily in the area around my college. It was a good thing she came to pick me up today, or else I'll be drenched in the rain, and thats not good.
So today we were given our groups for the assignment. Im not complaining much, so far, since my group members are pretty reliable, I think. I know this guy who is good in programming, so he will come in handy. And another thing, they all selected me to be the leader of the group, and I was left wondering why they would wanna choose me, sigh. Oh well, it doesnt matter, I just wanna finish this assignment as soon as possible. Im not gonna wait till the last minute anymore.
Today is the first day of my second semester in Level 2 for college. It was not a bad day, and it wasnt a good day either. Its in between. This will be a short semester, with only 7 weeks of studies. Also today, we received our first assignment, already. I was kinda annoyed at this, I mean, first day back and already getting an assignment. Its a group project, and another thing that I was annoyed at is that the lecturer is gonna choose the group members. After what happened in the last semester, I was hoping I'd get to choose my own, but no such luck.
In my other class, the lecturer was pointing out that in this world, you need to be smart to lie, as in, not get detected whenever you lie. And then he told the class that he can spot who is a good liar, and pointed at me. When I saw the lecturer pointing to me, I was like, 'Oh great, now everyone's gonna think Im a liar'. The whole class laughed were laughing when the lecturer pointed at me, and he also said that Im a good liar, and also a good con artist, imagine that <_< I dont know if I should take it as a compliment or an insult hahahaha.
Got caught in the rain on my way back from college today. It wasnt heavy, but my shoes got wet. I seriously need to mend the hole on my shoes, but I havent the time now. I should have gone when I was still on holidays, but then, I didnt have the money. Hmm, I also need a haircut. Maybe this weekend I'll get one, provided I have the money ^^;
