Went to iOn today for the first time with thedric,jianhao,daren. I feel that its just a somehow overrated shopping mall? But anyway, thumbs up for its classy design!
Singapore's really small! One can almost certainly meet a familiar face when out!
I always liked to visit new places, and this trip to iOn certainly falls into the category. Often, Old Trafford comes into the equation. Then, I remembered what happened during primary school...
It was my first time watching soccer. Dad subscribed to the sports channel and theres always lots of people coming to my home to watch soccer. Then theres this match when I noticed the famous David Beckham. He picked up the ball and place it on the ground and as he walked back to position himself, then there was an almost sudden increase in the number of camera flashes in the spectators stand. It was as if they knew what was gonna happen.. Hitting the ball with his inner foot, the father of freekicks elegantly curled one ball home.. The crowd roared in acknowledgement.
I was stunned. How is it possible to "control" the flight of the ball so effortlessly? Amazed. For a 10 year old, it was nothing short of magic.
My love for Manchester United was ignited, by Mr David Beckham.
Bringing home the consent form, I was eager to seek approval from my mum. I had gathered all my courage to approach the CCA soccer teacher in charge on the possibility to join the CCA. Its already impossible to be in the school team by then, but all i wanted was to enjoy football with the other "stars" in school, and most importantly, to be guided under a coach. With high hopes, I showed the consent form to my parents..
But I guess it was not meant to be. I was given a lecture on the importance of education and PSLE. I locked myself into my room, and buried my tears into the pillow. Because I knew, a 12 year old can never convince an adult into accepting his dreams...
Its almost 6 years ago,but still, thanks Mr Izudin. For giving me an opportunity when I approached you.
Its been a long long time from then. I've seen the meaning of happiness, the feeling of sorrow, and experienced heartbreak in different departments of life. I felt the meaning of pain...
Rainy days are gloomy, the sun not to be taken for granted.
The sea is a source of enlightenment, but where does the water in the sea comes from? It comes from the rain-The gloomy days.
The greater the storm, the richer the sea...
This post took me 4 hours, if you appreciate my posts, tag! Thanks (=
I'll reply the tags in the next post.
