the weekend...
ok. i got what i wanted - lots of soccer action, @ east coast park artificial turf as well as @ zac's house street soccer. I also got what I didn't ask for - a twisted ankle!! argh! if only i didn't make that last-ditch tackle.. everything would have been fine & I won't be stuck here with an ankle the size of half a tennis ball. DAMN!
Big rite?! IN a great deal of pain now. ):I really SHLD have listened to my Dad la. who told me not to play in case I injure myself. There. I proved him RIGHT. haha. can't help it. so long never play alr. now i suffer the consequences. ahah. sobs.
church was good today. Fr. Vaz certainly made the sermon more lively! especially his part on ppl can't handle failure in this world. to quote, 'u can't imagine telling someone that hey, u're a failure, and he tells you, 'thanks! let's have a party to celebrate.' haha!!
as usual, our choir never ever goes through Sunday w/o having kan chiong moments. hehx! today's issue was the AVA slides. apparently I had forgotten to remind Tim to put the new 'Kyrie' slide in front so as to teach the congre b4 mass. yups. rushed upstairs to tell them to change the slide, didn't make it in time; Andrea ended up teaching the congre w/o the slides. Great. Den I also forgot abt the responsorial psalm, which I had to play & didn't get a chance to practice wif Andrew either! Thankfully we did pretty ok in the end. Caroling practice was cool; learning new parts & for some of the guys who are on the brink of completing their A' level exams (congrats guys!) learning new songs. X'mas songs are really nice lah. hope this yr's caroling would eventually turn out to be smth diff from previous yrs. the leaders have discussed on this issue & we really hope it will be the case. coz everybody's getting the sianz feeling for doing this like 3-4yrs in a row?!? hahaha..
anw.. can u imagine the kind of things kids play with these days?!?! A Rain Detector Circuit Device.. GOSH. the other day one of my mum's pupils asked me to help him assemble this device for him. haha certainly dun rmb having such stuff in my childhood time! anw was quite proud of my self.. coz i managed to assemble the circuit board!! Yay! (:
nice rite!! haha yups and after that we tried to do a bit of experimenting by putting the 2 tips below into a plastic cup filled with water, simulating rain water.
Guess what? It worked!! The device gave off this high-pitched sound to indicate presence of rain. NOT BAD AT ALL!! (: Honestly, the stuff pri sch kids play with these days.. INCREDIBLE.
