Life's a Ball: Why I Will Forever Remember STPM

Life/Football~

Okay, Sunday, 22nd November 2009. The clock is ticking. Time is running out as I prepare myself to sit for the first paper for STPM. Nervous? Of course I am but at the same time, Spurs is playing Wigan Athletic at 11 later tonight. What should I do?

Okay, if I finish doing my revisions then I'll watch the game.

11 : 00 P.M.

Okay, I've done all I could, to the game but mum and dad said I should get my sleep cuz I will need it for tomorrow's paper. It was the first paper so I am not prepared to flunk this one. I need to get a good start to this exam. Okay, I'll just watch one half.

Game starts off pretty well for the boys in white. Jermain Defoe had a couple of decent chances but his tight angle shot that was tipped over the bar by Chris Kirkland was the best in the first 45 minutes(so I thought). The first half ended with Spurs leading after a 8th minute goal from Peter Crouch after a nicely floated cross from Aazza. Aazza was clearly gonna be a handful for former Spurs fullback, Erik Edman(hmmm, I use to like Erik. A good player he was.) So anyways, my 45 minutes was up and I was like, "darn. should I just continue watching?? Hmm. Oh never mind. Its just one game. I'll go sleep now." So off to bed I went. It took me a while to finally sleep cuz I was so nervous for tomorrow's paper.

6:25 A.M 23rd November 2009

Woke up after a rough night. Don't think I had much of sleep but heck it'll do. Walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and I was off to the bathroom for my bath. When I was done showering, my mum already got the newspaper in. I was pretty reluctant to check the score from last night's game so I told myself, "Okay, after today's paper only I will check. I don't wanna sit for the paper in a grumpy mood(fearing that Tottenham might have lost)"

As I was sitting at the dinner table drinking my Milo, my dad was sitting opposite me reading the paper then he said it, "Eh?! 9-1?" Then I said, "What?" He stared at me then, "Tottenham also can win 9-1 ar???".

cyen : What you talking about?
dad : Nah..(shows back cover of The Star)
cyen : Holy Zombie Jesus (of course I didn't say that but that was what my mind and heart was saying. Or at least might have said.)
cyen : *smiles* Okay off to school I go.

Turns out, the 9-1 win was a good motivation for me. The paper ended up to be pretty decent. I expected a lot worse but it wasn't so bad. I think I did good for the paper. Wahahah!
