Sueyyyy? Probability of broken specs encounter: 0.899

Bah. Went for football with the rest of the team (which we called ourselves, as eXodus). Azim, Matthew, Joe, Shawn, Heng Li, Jon, Wai Hong, another ex-USJ 8er and I were there. We were training ourselves basically (...it was tough trying to kick a straight ball =.=”), and played a game among ourselves, with Heng Li as the goalie.

After some of them Malay guys (not trying to be racist here, but they’re sorta like..delinquents >_>) – namely Fareez, Helmi etc - came, we sorta lost the mood. So Shawn and I were kicking a ball between us, when Shawn unsuspectingly delivered his wonderful back-kick ‘skill’ and rammed the ball straight to the side of my face. No sound of anything being broken - but I felt my specs slipping off my nose.

So this is like the [insert 5 digits here]th time I’ve broken my specs, or have been involved in any football mishap. *rolls eyes* Shawn apologized “Sorry, Clem” about 50 times that I’ve nothing to say really. I’m semi-angry, frustrated, annoyed, kinda pissed…

Then I said out loud to myself (and to Shawn’s face), “Think rationally, think rationally,” and I noticed that it’s the lens that got broken. Which means easily repaired, but there goes the moolah. Unlike some people who might yell at the offender with profanities, I simply kept my cool outwardly – since he can’t do anything about it (and most likely unable to pay for the repair), neither could I.

Shawn felt most guilty and was kinda sombre throughout the journey home. Heh >_> Lesson learnt (which I never did) – don’t ever wear your fragile rimless spectacles when playing football. This incident costed me (well, my parents >_>) RM70 – discounted from RM85 thanks to my mum, the super bargainer.
