Wah! You so bad! Make fun of me. UM-pire and EM-pire you also want to make fun. >.< It all started from the NPCC Games Day event. He accompanied me to school and waited for me in school till my umpiring ends. There we were walking to school and then he was talking about Um-pire and Em-pire, saying that it sounds alike. He pronounced the UM and EM, so funny and exaggerating. I was supposed to reach by 8 and I did before it was even 8. They told us there was a briefing at 8 that's why we have to be early. Was kinda mad when I reached there because they told us the meeting starting soon, wait for the guy to come. We waited for so long! Around 9 then the meeting starts, just because of the sudden heavy rain! After the meeting and we waited again. Waited until about 10 then the ICs have the cadets to sit at the back for the hall and keep one court available for the match. It was raining so the other outdoor games could not be held. I was not umpiring for the mixed doubles instead I was up on the stage writing the scores. Haha... Not too bad an experience, I don't feel scared.

Didn't take a look at what time was that but there was a time when they told them the teachers-in-charge came up with a decision to allow the soccer game to continue. So since then they shift the cadets to the back of the hall allowing two courts available for the games. I was umpiring for the girls singles and I do admit I'm not too good in umpiring but at least I offered to help. =P I was blur in the first few matches and after that it was ok. Til the last game, the game to decide the champion and first runner-up. It was Pierce Sec and Bishan Park Sec. The scores were hell close! 10-10! In the end, BPS won because she had the advantage of having the service. The game ended soon after then some Pierce cadets approached me and ask for a duels games. Duels is a three more points game when it's 10-10. So I told them I can't. They were pressing for time and we couldn't afford to play, because the rest of the cadets were coming up later. They insisited so I called Kenneth CI and he talk to them about it, they weren't convinced still! Until one teacher appraoched us and asked what's happening and we told her we can't afford to play because they were pressing for time. She agreed and so the cadets had to follow.

Phew~ I shouted so loud because it's meant to be heard and I got no mic! I went down and look for my dear and Jo told me he's injured. Poor him! Right arm is red because he played soccer in the wet grass. After lunch and he's better.

Took photos yesterday after my tuition. So nice! I love it! I'll get it scanned as soon as possible! =)
