this blog is beginning to revive. ho.
had to umpire again on saturay, the recre teams as well as the clubs. it is also known as the strike lottery day, because it rained in the afternoon and i was saved for one week from umpiring the clubs, as well as being paid for just well, being present. which means if i turn up next week i will get paid too. the sadness of noting it is that i have come to treat umpiring as a job/chore for which i get paid. the perks are in the money duh. which leads me to wonder whether working life is just as 1)stressful, 2) monotone or demanding, depending on the game 3)just all about the money. bah. i hope i never get stuck in a job i dont really like, without any passion in it and follow after my mom. but on a brighter note, it means that i have earned somewhere in the range of a hundred bucks, from last saturday afternoon and the whole of this saturday. hopefully. which means, that i can probably pay the whole sibu trip myself,since im going to be down again on the makeup dates, if i make up my mind to go. or pay for avventura.
on the other hand, we should have gone for the recre teams category. not playing was a big joke, because the players arent that great at all. the play was a big mess, making umpiring hard, because its nearly impossible to make out who hit who, tangled up their feet, obstructed in the space of one minute. the rate of mistakes made was averaging about 5 per minute in a super messy one, which is quite bad, going by standards. sigh.
im not sure about avventura, but i think its going to be fun hohum. that is if we register lolx. the whole thing still has a shaky kind of ring to it. well. but it will be super duper fun. including all the training sessions we will have lol.
i have been slacking, since the weather is so cold, and reading. i can't belive i fell asleep reading neverwhere, but i suspect it was because i was tired out. how blasphemous. lol. but neverwhere's a good book man. just finished cry of a heron today. ending was disappointing. the flow of the book just stops, abruptly like that. its still pretty good, but long drawn.
speaking of long books, harry p and the deathly hallows suprised me by wrapping everything neatly. not bad at all. considering book 5 and 6 were such disappointments. well.
okay i shall do some PROPER work people. PW.
bleh.
