I just got my new -and first ever- hockey stick today! I got accepted into my school's hockey team, you see. =) I'm really excited. New school, new CCA, new life. Of course, spiced with memories of my Primary School life, which I still miss terribly.
Anyway, the living have to move on, but I'll still take some memories along with me.
I feel so left out. Here I am in St Nicholas Girls' School, a prestigious, renowned SAP school, placed among the top pupils in Singapore, when I'm not even intelligent. Well, not really, anyway. I always was a very average pupil in ZPS, which I expect I'll be in SNGS, although there is a craving to be intelligent.
Anyway...hockey! I like -no, love- the sport. Sounds pretty cool. It being a sports CCA, I'll get to take part in competitions etc etc. Sounds fun! I just hope it won't interfere too much with my studies and home life. Anyway, I'm excited all the same.
I've made some new friends, which is rather surprising considering how anti-social I am. I'm thankful to God for sending my friendship. SNGS won't seem that bad anymore with friends, especially with a classmate who's also in Hockey, albeit the fact that's we're not very close.
I hate chauvinists, y'know? All chauvinists should be blasted off the face of the Earth. Don't you think so? I especially hate male chauvinists. WHO THE HECK said that females should only and were born to cook, clean, have babies, listen to the males in their life etc? If that were true, God might as well have made a robot that looked like a female, was obedient, able to have babies, do housework etc instead of Eve. AND another he would have made the robot - unfeeling, except to "love" her stupid chauvinistic husband and children. Don't you agree? Life is so biased against females.
Y'know, I often play football with some guys who live near my house, together with a few girl friends. Us girls were usually made the goalkeepers, mostly because my friends wanted to, and also because none of the guys really wanted to be goalkeepers. I point blank refused to be goalkeeper most of the time, cos I was really bad at goalkeeping, and also because goalkeeping was boring. No action! Anyway, just today my team was debating who the goalkeeper should be. They wanted me to be goalkeeper, cause I was the only girl in the team (all my friends were randomly sorted into the other team). I refused, so a guy who would admittedly be better at the role of striker offered to be the goalkeeper.
Y'know what another guy in the team protested?
"No! The girls should be the goalkeepers!"
I furiously retorted why only girls should be goalkeepers, and he was speechless. I was fuming, and the guy who offered to be the goalkeeper got the role (I suspect he was quite unwilling).
What do they think us girls are? THINGS to play the role of goalkeeper that no one really wants? Ornaments on the field that no one looks at, yet depends on the save the ball? The guys don't appreciate us at all. I'm making it a point to stop playing soccer with them, at least for a few days.
