behind every dark cloud, is a silver lining.

all in all, i felt that i managed today quite well. i'm pretty proud of myself, as a matter of fact.

morning
got up at around 7 and quickly prepared for school. oh, the reason why i needed to go to school was, i needed to receive a prize :) a few months ago, we had this commerce poster-making project thing. despite the fact that i was supposed to do it with fe and sue, i ended up doing it alone for some reason. i specifically remembered that i wanted to join some other group but they were too in deep the project that it would have been wrong for me to cut in. so, i ended up spending loads of colour ink and not too much time in finishing the project myself. i wasn't expecting any prize, i didn't even think it was a competition. i just knew that i had to get it done because it was going to cost me marks. well who would have guess i got first place?! quite happy about it. definately a pleasant surprise :)
went breakfast after that and managed to not think about the date at all. guh-reat!

afternoon
nothing much happened here because i slept throughout the afternoon :X managed to wake up only at 4-ish where i sluggishly decided to accompany my family in going to bandar to watch the Barracudas play against the Thailand Tigers. i wasn't really hyped about it. oh yeah, the only reason why my family is actually so sporting about this ABL thing is because, my step-brother is one of the players in the Barracudas. i, of course, am a loyal fan of the Slingers through and through but because they weren't playing, it was only right to root for the Barracudas. i AM living in Brunei, aren't i?
throughout the trip to Bandar, i drowned myself in music. i didn't even go close to thinking about the date today because i was nervous the whole time. the Singapore Slingers were playing against Satria Muda BritAma when i was on my way up to Bandar and i had to keep using my stupid DSTInternet to go facebook and check the score. freaked me out man seriously.

end of 1st quarter : Satria Muda BritAma 19 - 14 Singapore Slingers
end of 2nd quarter : Satria Muda BritAma 30 - 25 Singapore Slingers
*i only saw the score of the second quarter. totally was like twitching in my seat. i wanted to get up and shout and scream for the slingers but i of course couldn't do that with dad in the car. i was so nervous and scared for the slingers. haha, i know i sound very silly but -shrugs- i'm just a loyal fan -smirk- hahaha.
end of 3rd quarter : Satria Muda BritAma 45 - 43 Singapore Slingers
*i began to ease a bit. the slingers scored more than satria despite still deficit by 2 points. it gave me a little hope that the slingers would pull through. was still tense and scared irregardless.
end of 4th quarter : Satria Muda BritAma 59 - 61 Singapore Slingers
*OMGOSH! if i could, i would have jumped up and down and scream like i just don't care. apparently the star of the show was Marcus Ng and Hong WeiJian. good job, boys! up next is KL Dragons, i think. shouldn't be too hard so GORENG them ahhh! :D

had dinner and sluggishly continue into the Barracudas game without much enthusiasm because as long as the Slingers won, i was cool :P

night
ok ok, i know i said i wouldn't get excited about the Barracudas game but i just couldn't help myself. towards the end, i was totally blending with the crowd and shouting until my lungs gave out. honestly, it was an awesome feeling because the previous time i was in the stadium, i couldn't cheer for the Slingers in fear the i might get beaten up for not supporting the home crowd :X luckily also, the win for the Barracudas was spectacular. although loads of mistakes were made, as so far from what i saw, the Barracudas performed beautifully especially in the last quarter - like the Slingers :) if i lose my voice tomorrow, it would be totally worth it (Y)

end of 1st quarter : Brunei Barracudas 25 - 24 Thailand Tigers
end of 2nd quarter : Brunei Barracudas 43 - 55 Thailand Tigers
end of 3rd quarter : Brunei Barracudas 65 - 73 Thailand Tigers
end of 4th quarter : Brunei Barracudas 91 - 86 Thailand Tigers
scream and shouted, clapped and cheered, cursed and sweared and it was alllll worth it in the end! :D

although today was supposed to be a dark day for me, i'm glad God made it better by allowing all these silver linings to lighten up my day. i am ever so greatful. today was an eventful day indeed. hopefully, happy shit will continue to fly around and prevent me from thinking too much. hiding is the only way to go now and if distractions is what i need, then it's going to keep me going as long as possible.

once again,

a big CONGRATULATIONS to the Singapore Slingers!


and a big CONGRATULATIONS to the Brunei Barracudas!
