Been sleeping over at friend’s place these last two days. Yesterday was another journey back to the past. It brought back very fond memories of my uni days. Attended afternoon mass at Mary Mother of Carmel church. It was being renovated coz it couldn’t accommodate the (maybe growing) number of people who go there to celebrate Eucharist. I thought it was big already and very comfortable too, but it seemed that it wasn’t big enough. The sermon was good, talking about believing, have faith. Even in trouble times when there seems no hope, God is always with us. Tomorrow I’m gonna go to do on-site support for a month. I have to support a system which I’ve only known n learnt for about two weeks. I doubted I could do it well, but after hearing the sermon yesterday, I realized that I was being reminded to believe in Him. Have faith, do my best and leave the rest to God. Though there’s other doubt that still hanging in the back of my mind, I’m pretty sure I can do the job well.
Last Friday probably will be the last day of my long chat sessions with Moet since I don’t know yet whether I’m gonna get an internet connection on the site I support or not. Beside I won’t be staying on one site, I’ll be visiting other sites and only in the last two weeks that I’ll be staying on one site. *sigh Well, like I wrote in my previous blog, life is a struggle. It’s interesting what Mel wrote in her blog. She wrote something like this, no matter how hard you try, if it isn’t meant for you, you won’t get it. I guess that’s when fate takes over the decision in our life. We may struggle very hard, we may do the best we can, but sometimes there’re things that we just can’t have or achieve. Sad, but true. We just can’t have it all.
Anyway, after the mass I went to San2 place. Played WE and then watched the match between Portugal and England, which won by Portugal after a penalty shoot out. Portugal goalkeeper, Ricardo did brilliantly by blocking 3 penalties. Two of them were shot by England most dangerous midfielder, Lampard n Gerrard. It seemed that England just couldn’t win penalty shootout. They lost from Portugal too in a penalty shoot out back in Euro 2004. Portugal ensured their place in the semifinal. I know a person who jumped (and maybe still jumping..lolz) in happiness seeing Portugal made it to the semifinal, especially seeing the last Portugal penalty taker scored.
Binus really have changed. I saw lots of new buildings that weren’t there last year. *sigh. Uni days…too bad it’s already in the past. Zoo class, the exams, the projects, staying at friend’s place. We all have gone our own ways. We’ve changed, nothing stays the same. We must look forward. It’s okay to look back in the past sometimes and reminisce the good memories we had, but lingering in the past won’t do any good. We’ll be standing still. We have to move on. I read once in Mel’s blog about this move on thing and I think we should be moving on with carrying all the memories we had, either good or bad, coz they’re the ones that makes us the person we are now and (with optimism) guide us to be the person we wanna be. They’re all lessons in life.
At midnite went to Mille, nothing much changed, I just didn’t get excited like I used to. The music wasn’t as good as it used to be and the place was just….boring. Instead of going to the dance floor, I watched the penalty shoot out between Portugal and England. It was then I realized that nite life like that is just not my thing. But looking at other people there, it seemed that they really had a good time. My only good time there was the sound system (but not the songs) performance and watching France vs Brazil match. I’ve known enough and it feels much better just to stay home, watching DVDs, listening music, reading book than getting my self killed slowly by very thick cigarette smoke, drinking and listening to crap music.
It’s more interesting to talk about the match. France finally won 1-0 against Brazil. Henry scored the winning goal from Zidane’s free kick. France played with that killer determination like the one they had in World Cup 1998 final match, in which they also won against Brazil. Brazil formation itself was rather surprising. Parreira didn’t play Adriano from the beginning. He was brought on when they already conceded a goal. But France managed to hold on from Brazil’s desperate attempts to find an equalizer. The score line didn’t change till the final whistle was blown. France will be meeting Portugal in the semi final. In my dream scenario, Italy win against Germany and they’ll meet France in the final (France win against Portugal). And in the final, Italy win against France, getting their fourth star and a sweet revenge after a defeat in the Euro 2000 final, thanks to Wiltord and Trezeguet goals. Hopefully this scenario will go as planned….
