once again. please rise.

woke up at 6 am again for the 2nd day in a row, drenched in sweat. i seriously forgot how unforgiving the weather in singapore is like. showered 4 times in total yesterday, i think i should just give up trying to feel "fresh".

missed the a-div rugby final yesterday for a good cause. stepped into hwa chong for the first time in many months. and the feeling came gushing back, the familiar surroundings, the smell of freshly turned up turf.

met the new j1s for the first time too, first impressions weren't particularly positive, perhaps because of my intolerance to lateness, also the fact that no one brought their water bottles. but their passing had somewhat exceeded my expectations. still horrible nonetheless. there are definitely a few rough jams out there, the confidence to catch, the instincts to run for the gap, the athleticism, just that how polished those skills will become will really be up to the certain individuals. and the coachless situation has been laid to rest. i'm finally relieved.

today is going be another day to look forward to. sentosa in the morning, asian 5 nations in the afternoon. what more can i ask for. great company, and probably a compelling game of rugby always gets me off, even more so than drinking.

off to take another shower now. this is gonna be a hard fought losing battle with the weather.
