Find a penny pick it up and all day you will have good luck!

Maybe just halfpenny will do.
Where were you hiding all these while?
I think I'm in love!

start

want to
need to
have to
got to
will do

if i had done smt more
would it have been me instead?
guess we'll never know

A gut feeling

Someone needs to do something about this
Im going on a diet
NAO!!
(or maybe my hooker can try not to pull my already skin tight shirt up and my flank pull my thights down?)
jas saying-pun totally intended.

Preamble

First game is done and dusted!!
WE DID IT!
Looking back at the past seven months, I would have never known that I would make it till last saturday to start the game for such an awesome club.
I think i really thrive on positive reinforcement and I only have my teamates to thank for their generous showers of positivity towards my direction
Praise me, pat me on my back, rub my shoulders, give me a touch, smile at me, talk to me.
Elixirs that keeps me going despite that bitch of a knee and lungs that gasp for air after a short sprint- making me sound like an ashmatic rhino on the field for the most parts of the game.

Although this is only the start, you know what they say.
A good start is half the job done!
(but then they also say it isn't over till it's over??)
okay, cynical self aside I can't wait till the next game!
I figured although the dress may not fit perfectly now, im sure i'll grow into it in time.
I shall not waste time moping and thinking about negative stuff
But In the meantime, i'll be on autopilot in school. (ugh!)

Best advice I've heard so far:
"Heros are not made overnight. Play fearlessly and play with your instinct. The rest will come with time."
Amen to that!

You have a calming effect over me.

Duh

The awkward moment when Wing is talking about some highly complex rugby move
and all i can picture in my head is my primeape friend.
It usually visits during new and unfamiliar drills- or when i am playing touch.
Other than that it just stays home.
But I am getting better though,
The monekey just shuffles on the spot now cause the cymbals are to heavy to be carrying out all the time, or so it says
Weakling.

On a side note,
is anyone watching switched at birth on Starworld?
Its really quite a nice show plus you get to learn how to sign along the way.
This song closed one of the episodes and i really like it.
Have a listen:)



Stranger I've known you for so long
I found you lost with a compass in the fog
Stranger you know me too much
Illusionary-self had not be touched, until you

Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Stranger you've followed me so far
Until the roads converged, as did the stars
Stranger the moon looks blue tonight
Your photo framed, raw within my mind, but not tonight

Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall

Hallelujah

p.s: its saturday and im at home?! the stars must be aligned today!

I dunno if you noticed...

but when people play touch rugby,
their passes become very gay. (gay in a good way because they look like they know what they are doing at least)
Its like you have to contort your arm in an odd fashion and cock the ball it a full circle before you make the pass.
right??
I'm just jealous.
please ignore me.

on another note, i think i talk too much when my bloodstream is filled with anything that ends with an -OH group in their formula.
But to my defence I usually make a lot of sense
"Rugby players need to have strong muscles and also strong livers as well"

Everybody..
say it with me.
touché!

Where rugby is played in heaven

Cottesloe, Perth.
Awesome view
Awesome rugby
Awesome company

Will you ever give me a reason to love you less??

M.A.D

Its amazing how gossip always manage to bring a bunch of women together at the end of the day.
Although i had my reservations about bootcamp, I am really glad to say that i enjoyed every minute of it.
Yes, even the part when i was running around the carpark and my canter short were slicing my fat thighs like it was beef carpaccio.
Boy did that hurt!

Take-homes from the camp:

1. ALWAYS wear tights with rugby shorts or be prepared to walk like a duck post training.(or maybe just buy bigger shorts jacq! you are not as skinny as you think you are)

2. Likes and dislikes of my team mates. I feel like i know a bit more about them. Yu hui's favourite movie is "a walk to remember", Tao secretly wants to be a winger and Jas loves Bob Marley!(but then again who doesn't??? Its raggae maan!)

3. The international sign for Jacqueline is to flex your biceps.

4. Gina is a complete nutter inside and outside and i love her for that.(secretly, i wished i was like her too)

5. I like to run straight into a defender when you are carrying a ball. CHANGE!

6. I need to speak up more. (EVERYONE(every single one) TOLD ME THAT IN THEIR HAMBURGER SPEECH)

7. Apparently I have a very good temper and i deserve an award for that! YAY ME!

8. People who wants to be stuck on an island with me thinks that i can build a raft for them. Somehow being a canoeist to them is equivalent to knowing how to build a floating device. Hmmm????

9. Rad really likes to eat sausages.

10. Orange is not really Tao's colour

At the end of the day, I always come home only to realise that my love for rugby has mutiplied that much again.
Next up, Perth!
It only gets better.

on a side note:
this song is stuck in my head

Untying the Gordian knot

what a bad bad day
i shall sleep.
right now!

Jacq, just catch a fucking ball for the love of god!
oh, and stop being such a drama queen
