People of 2009

I have came across many new friends in 2009. I am glad that I have met them. They have lightened my life in one way or another. Without them, my 2009 wouldn't have been that colourful.

A special thanks to these people:

Mr Leroy Choo.. for introducing me to AVP.

Michael Ong.. he has taught me a lot and always sending me him whenever possible!

AVP.. the fun and laughter that we have shared have certainly added colours to 2009. Night Cycling, Birthday Celebrations, Going to tournaments together..

Khiok Sing.. for your information.. I have know him for 4 years, since 2005 and though I have his email, I have never spoken to him until I am in AVP. He has been a good friend, guiding me in netball and umpiring.

Umpires and umpire coaches.. especially Eric.. Have known him for very long but never really spoken to him. He has been a good umpire coach guiding me along, giving me advice. Not to forget all the umpires whom we joke together, gossip together.. Uncle Liew, Christopher, Elaine, Jacqueline and many others.. (There are too many umpires to be named! Sorry!)

Nigel.. Another Zenith guy who I have known for a long time but only talked to recently. I have always admire him as a shooter.

Team JJ Netball.. I truly love this group of netballers and team-mates - Ever fighting so hard on court. Thanks Wan Ting and Taahira who are always there for me! I will miss you guys! A big thanks to Ms Ng and Ms Choo for bringing us through the tournament!

Hong Kong University Netball team.. They came to Singapore for Tri-annual Inter-Varsity Games in July. I enjoyed mysef being around with them during that short period of time. Hope to see them again soon!

08S02.. People whom I weren't close to in J1 but A Level has drawn us closer. There are so much memories with 08S02! See you guys soon at chalet!

REDcrew.. Screws, Van, JW, Yvonne, U. Les and more.. My internship wouldn't have been fun without you guys! Gathering at u.les house, covering AYG... Those good times!

James Ong.. He is a member of Netball Singapore. He always encourages me whenever he sees me feeling not confident with umpiring. Thanks James!

All the friends that I met during netball games.. Alice, SAFSA players, Aciers players, AJC Netball Team, VJC Netball Team and all the other players that I have played with and palyed against! Thanks for all the good games we have played!

NTU Handball Team.. I have only been to their training for once but I have enjoyed myself. Thanks!

Teachers in JJC.. Ms Huang, Ms Goh, Dr Gan and all the other teachers who have taught me be it in class or outside classroom. Without them, I would not have learnt so much during my JC days.

Of course not forgetting all the friends who have been there for me throughout the years, Sam, Marianne, Eng Chuan, Li Ling and many others! And my parents who are always there for me no matter what!

Thanks people, for such a wondering year!

I finally realise what went wrong. I am not doing things because I want to do it but because others ask me to do so.

I have been wondering why am I not happy with what I am doing. I do not feel the soul in me when I do things. This is simply because I did not put my heart into them. I need a mind of my own to decide things. I should not be following what everyone says. It can be a great oppportunity but if I do not have the heart for it, I will not treasure the opportunity.

Things to do: (I have forgot them for ample times!)

1. Video Clip recprding for JW
2. Chem notes for Van
3. Call James Ong regarding NSL
4. Sunday's Party Christmas Present
5. Get to Mr Ramesh for Coaching
6. Sign up for relief teaching

Not feeling much motivation at the moment. :(

Currently searching for jobs but I am quite afraid of commitment. HOW?
:(

Feeling satisfied

I feel contented and satisfied with my work. Wrote 6 stories and sent out 2 emails. (: I have also decided which path to go. I have also had a great chat with my idols! (:

Although it was a tiring week, it was also a rewarding and fruitful week! :)

Busy week surviving on 4 - 5 hours of sleep each day.

The busy week began on 6 Dec, Sunday. There was International Youth Sports Challenge at Sports School in the morning. 6 Dec also marks the start of Nations Cup.

From Monday to Wednesday, it was a standard repetition of Netball workshop in the morning and Nations Cup in the evening. Despite feeling tired, I enjoyed the workshop and watching the Nations Cup. Go Singapore! Fight ON!

I have learnt a lot from the workshop. Now that I know so much more about umpiring, I am thinking what should I be focusing on for 2010. Umpire or Player?

Emm...

Can someone please help me do my blogskin? hehe. I know what I want my next blog skin to look like but I am reluctant to create it as I know it is very troublesome and time comsuming. Worst of all, I have lost most of my knowledge about html codes. ): Any nice souls out there?

Hui Mui has been so disciplined. :) She stays out of umpiring and netball-ing to rest her knee and she does physiotherapy at home regularly. Isn't she awesome? (: I hope the rest will get my knee into better shape soon! (:

Swimming on the go at the moment. I hope I can swim in the evening later. (: The last few evenings have been raining heavily. ):

Nations Cup coming soon! Time to get busy. Also, time to produce my brain cells!

I have finally washed up my Adidas tennis shoes. The shoes were coated with layers of dirt and dust! It looks so white now after the wash! (:

Reading on the go now! (:

Last Day

Today marks the last day of A Level; last day of JC education. I have officially completed 12 years of education. Woah!



I have been through much during these 2 years.

Where am I going now?

I have asked myself this question ample time but I am still unable to get myself an answer to the question.

Where am I going now?

Sports Mood!!

Hui Mui wants to play...

Frisbee
Handball
Badminton
Basketball

Hui Mui also wants to go

Swimming
Running

However, Hui Mui doesn't feel like playing Netball at the moment. Just not in the mood right now. ):

Fun!

These few days have been great!

On Tuesday night, I went for AVP training. It has been nearly 2 months since I last been to NUS courts. On Wednesday night, I went to attend Jill Mcintosh Shooting Session. It was fun! After the session, had a chat with Eric about Sports Science. He has provided me with a lot of insight about Sports Science and the universities.

On Thursday night, I went to Kallang to watch AVP Ole's game and to umpire after which. It has been a long time since I last umpired. The game was mild with fouls. A pretty controlled game. On Friday, I met up with Yi Xuan and we went shopping! We walked around Vivocity before heading down to Orchard where I finally found the dress!

I went swimming yesterday morning with Yi Xuan. I finally know how to swim. I am so happy! Thanks Yi Xuan. After 3 years of inconsistant learning, I finally know how to swim. More to come! Meanwhile, master breaststroke first! After swimming, I went home to take a nap before heading down to Uncle Les' house for Red Party! Lots of fun! I have not met them after the last lunch we had at Crystal Jade.

More enjoyment and excitement to come!! (:

Where do I go now?

Where do I go now?

How far am I going to go in netball? How far am I going to go in umpiring? How far am I going to go in my studies? What am I going to do during the upcoming weeks? What skills am I going to take up? Should I go to work?

Where do I go now??

Poor working ethics

I have very poor working ethics. I mix up emotions with work very easily.Once a problem sets in, my efficiency level drops drastically by refusing to adapt. I feel that I have handle the umpires issue poorly. I feel that I could have provided better option without venting my frustration. I think Alicia has good working ethics. I like the way she gets things done. Despite having much frustration and limitation, she will make sure that she gets things done no matter what.

I also feel that I can be more encouraging.

I thought of changing my blog skin. But I realised.. Too much effort at this point of time. I have totally lost touch of the codes and everything. It will take days and even weeks to figure out the courts. Thus, I decided to leave my blog skin aside for now though I really wish to change the blog skin.

Its 17 Nov today. Another 40 plus days to 2010! Time flies really fast. The other day, XZ asked me what I will be doing after A Level. I told him I have yet to thought about it. Sometime, I feel that future is scary. There are so much uncertainty. I am fear of facing the society, honestly. I will be a newbie again but this time round in the society. It will all be a brand new journey.

I was chatting with Shu Ping yesterday. I come to realisation that as we grow up we listen lesser and we want others to pay more attention of what we have to say. It is good to have our set of opinions. However, it is more important to strike a good balance of listening of what others are thinking. To a large extent, it is ironic. Adults often tell their children to talk less and listen more. Remember how your teachers and parents always remind you about you have 2 ears and only 1 mouth? On ther other hand, as we grow up we are not doing what we will tell our children. How ironic is this?

I think it is very important of listening to others. I remember how I use to shut off others with their opinions and miss out and serveral important information that I can find nowhere else. Frankly speaking, I am still doing so now but I am trying to kick away this habit.

Tomorrow is 18th Nov. Finally! I need a brand new month for my phone bill. My phone bill is so going to be hell expensive this month! 800 sms + HOURS of outgoing calls!! BAO!!!

Its 15th November now. Time passes by really fast. The most stressful week of the century is over. (:

It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. 10 days to be exact. Notes and TYSs have been my best friends. :) Anyway today's topic for the blog is my mum.

I think that she always put me and my siblings before everything and everyone else. She always ensures that we have sufficient food, enough entertainment, ensure our safety, give us the best that she can.

She is a great mum!

A Fruitful Day?

I have completed Power Series and Differentiation Practice Qns from TYS, VJC GP Prelim Paper 2 and Homeostatsis. I think it can be more fruitful if I have not spent time eating too much. I has better cut down on my consumption of food from McDonalds. It is terrible! I am not exercise yet I am eating so much! Bad Bad Bad!!

A Div 09

Looking at the girls of my age playing POLITE, it simply makes me miss those A Div times. Those sweat, those trainings, those heartaching games.

The weekend was fun. A day of laughter kicks away the doctor. *wink*

I am finally studying. I will totally stop playing netball. No more netball trainings for me. I promise. I feel the enlightenment today. I have not being giving my best. I will give my best shot this time and do to my best ability.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been playing netball almost every other day. I simply wanted this because I wanted to play as much netball as possible before I take a long break. Thanks KS and XZ, for the games.

Over the weekend, AVP was at Children's Day Street Netball Carnival. Shooting Stars came in 4th and Nua Kings and Queen came in 5th. We drew with 3rd in terms of points. However, we lost to them. Thus, coming in 4th. The carnival was great, plenty of laughter and fun.

PWC will be starting next week. Jia You everyone! Get well soon to all the injured people!! haha!

I will probably be cutting down on blogging as well. :(

Venting frustrations

I am getting just so frustrated about myself.

I still feel that disappointment from the last lost. I am feeling frustrated that I am not doing well in studies. I am angry with myself for not performing up to the level that I want to in netball.

Wanted to type more but decided not to in the end.

BYE!

All of a sudden, I have this feeling of typing something.

I vomit on Wed morning, 3.30am. The vomit stinks! On tues training, I ate durain cake after training. Happy Birthday Shu Ping! (It was SP's birthday on Mon) The vomit smelt of durian. Followed by diarrhoea. I was hell tired by Wed afternoon since I did not sleep the whole night. I visited the doctor then. I had some problems with my intestines. I did not go to school today either to rest at home. Feeling much better now :)

My left knee is falling sick. :( Will be going to polyclinic tomorrow and see how things go.

Buck Up! REVISE!

Homework due by Tues:

1. Chem Prelim Paper 1
2. Chem Rev, Chapter 1 - 4
3. P n C, Graphing Techniques
4. RJ GP Paper 2.
5. Bio 04 - 07 MCQs.

OMG!

Stressful

Life has been stressful. I teared on my way to Ngee Ann Poly today. I feel that there are many things bottled up and I didn't know how to loosen up myself. Oh well..

Anyway, today at Ngee Ann Poly was fun. :)

Study, study study!

I can finally blog. I was very tempted to blog just now but I told myself that I can only blog after I have finished my work.

Last term in JJC started today. I am quite disappointed with myself today when I got back the Chemistry papers today. Paper 3 was way below my expectation. I found out why its below my expectation though. BUCK UP, HUI MUI!

People are complaining about their life. Oh well, saying as if the rest of us are at fault. I shall just ignored it.

I hate the feeling of not being able to watch TV at home. :( I pity my second brother.

Yesterday was fun! I went for Mixx n Match Street Netball Challenge 2009. The umpiring was much better than Pesta Sukan. But I think the registration can be further improved.

After the game, both the teams + KS went for lunch together. I regretted not bathing before leaving Kallang Netball Center. :( We went to Ri Ben Chun (I have no idea what is the English name of the Restaurant.) Then, we headed to Orchard with 6 people remained. Shopped a little bit. Off we went to Billy Bomber for Chocolate and Cheese Fondew. (Sinful, huh?) And off to MOVIE! We watched The Time Traveller's Wife. I was totally lost from the movie for the first half an hour. All thanks to GRACE! haha! Overall, the movie wasn't too bad. However, a climax could have been better.

After movie, off to Pasta Shop for dinner. (Another sinful moment!) I loved the pasta. They were GREAT!

Saturday was fun too! Nigel owes me a KIKAPO! haha! I went down to NIE for umpiring. I missed out a few calls. Work harder!

I have a lot of thoughts on my mind. I have a few frustrations too. Right now, sms-ing someone to get rid of one of the frustrations.

However, I find it very difficult to pen down my thoughts. I feel very uncomfortable in giving my thoughts a tangible form. Emm..

Lunch out with Panda and Vanissa was fun! :D photos coming up.

Things for today:
1. Eye contact before passing.
2. Eat into defender's space before go for lunges. (the roll)
3. Passes. Make it easy to receive.
4. Let the feeder lead the shooter to the empty pass. (EYE CONTACT!)

Thanks peep for the help! :D

:( I accidentally deleted an important email that I spent half hour typing and need to re-type it out. I have just sent the email out.

Things are starting to pile up. Stress!

I went to CCAB for some netball today. I didn't have the drive to play netball today. In another words, I am getting a little bored with netball. Yet, this week is fully filled with netball action.

Today - Friendly
Tues - Trg at Kallang
Wed - Hgv trg
(I am way too lazy to type things out in full right now after spending 1 hour in total to type out the email.)
Thur - Umpiring
Fri - Hgv trg
Sat - Umpiring
Sun - Carnival

OM Tian. A lot eh? But no worry, I will make sure I study very hard throughout this week of school holiday. I must not make the same mistake that I committed during Prelim. Jia You!

Ciao! I need to go to sleep before I am late again.

Today marks the last day of Prelim. :):)

I went shopping after the paper in the afternoon with Cik Siti. It was a fruitful trip. I manage to get all the cosmetic that I need for time being.
:):) Thanks :)

Good News! Our proposal is being accepted. We will work hard to make it a successful event. :):) Triple joy for today. :):)

More shopping! :):) I need to beautify my drawers and waredrobe with more colours. :) Save more money and spend more! :) hehe!

netball

I have so much things to pen down today.

Things to work on:
1. Left hand pass
2. Proper landing. Always land with outer foot.
3. Control ball with only one hand.
4. Fake. (when passing)
5. Dodges. (weight on outer foot)
6. Most importantly, Fitness.
7. Watch lots of game :)

Jia You! Discipline and work hard towards the ultimate goal!

Went to Kallang to have some netball today. Oh no! My stamina is dropping drastically after not training for months! How should I strike an excellent balance between revision and training?

I have just so much worries on my mind. It can be frustrating at many occasion to be a typical gemini who wants to try everything. ):

Happy Birthday Jun Wei! Getter older already! haha!

Studied in the morning and went for BBQ Party at Junwei's place in the evening. Had fun teasing at one another. :)

I have so many things that I want to say and do but I do not have the time to do so right now. ):

I will try to remember the thoughts till tomorrow.

Ciao!

I have just realised that I pen down my emotions but I do not pen down my activities. I shall try to do it from now onward.

Study day for me! Maths Maths and more Maths. :) Met Merina and Alicia to discuss some stuffs in the late afternoon and went home to do more Maths! I have finished more than 15 queations. I am proud of myself for this. :)

This week is going to be busy. Jia You!

studies is not the only thing in the world

I have so much thoughts running through my mind and I want to pen them all down.

I have just realised how big the world is. The world is really very big. Why do I say so? I have realised what I have seen, have experienced is nothing compared to the world. Being a typical Singapore JC kid who study all day long, thinking that studying is the only thing in life, I have developed this concept that life is all about studying. But, not! Life is way much more than this.

I have also developed this concept in me that everyone in the world (well, the world to me is this small.) need to study hard and work hard. I am so wrong about this concept. This is not even a social norm. However, these concepts are so in me that I cannot accept anything beyond this circle.

I have just realised that people do many other things apart from studying. People think about life. People think about how to be happy. People think of developing their own unique career. And most importantly, people priositise all these above studies which to me, I felt that people are going against the social norms. But, not! This is the social norm. People do not need to score straight As to be happy and lead a good life.

I am drilled to think that not doing well in studies is a shame. But, let's take a look at the world again. A typical commoner at New York on average holds 3 degrees. But, what's the big deal? People are happy too without a degree. I seriously need to get a life and see the world!

Honestly, I was shocked with what I read. I was shocked. I felt as though I was watching a drama series. I felt how things change and how the main character lived for the past few years. However, I was not ready to accpe those information at all. Seriously. I have many questions that I want to find answers to them.

Anyway, went out with Marianne to Bugis today. By right, the shopping trip is for me to get my stuffs for an upcoming formal event. Erm, my wardrobe have hardly anything beyond dri-fit and FBTs shorts. Anyway, Marianne started her shopping before I got anything for myself.

In the end, I managed to get what I want. :) Also, got myself a bag. I am very happy with the bag. :) Been longing for it for a long time. :)

:( I didn't finish the maths work that I set out for myself. I spent quite sometime reading some online stuffs and neglected my work. :( Bad, bad bad!

Have been down with flu for the whole week. :(

I felt really horrible on Monday. I felt as though the body did not belong to me. Tuesday onwards, things looked better :). recovering in process now. :)

Congrats! I have studied for Biology for 5 hours straight. :D

I can finally blog. My keyboard was down over the weekend. Then, Janson kept laughing at me. Horrible Janson. haha!

Had Pesta Sukan on Saturday. Emm. I was kind of sad with it. Nevermind, let's jia you in the next tournament! :)

*It feels damn good to type with the new keyboard*

btw, I got my earphone fixed too. Double joy =D

Flew to cloud 9 on Fri and came to earth today.

I missed my run last week :(

Ran 4.68km (Loop Hume Ave) today. :)

taking a breather

Finally, I could take a breather after working hard for the past 10 days. Honestly, I was quite worried for yesterday's papers. Even if I have completed the paper, my mind was still thinking about the papers. Emm.. And I have just got to keep reminding myself that "Stay Focus!"

Whatever that are over, are over! Oh well.. Concentrate on the upcoming papers!!!

Anyway, I was thinking of how I should organise my side bar. I feel that the order is kind of weird and messy. Emm..

so, what to do now?

what will you do if you have been trying to change something and after trying for so long, things are not changing?

you have been complaining about it to someone and the person is too frustrated to take in anymore complain about the issue. For this, I will stop mentioning this issue to that person. In fact, I will not mention it to anyone else.

How about the fomer isssue? Continue trying? Give up?

I feel so dead. Extremely dead! :(

I have decided to give up geography for the time being. I could only finish Globalisation for the past few days. I thinking studyig Maths was a wrong choice. :(

Anyway, I have just got to forgo Prelims and concentrate on A level instead.

Hui Mui, Buck up! and Jia you!!!

will you?

I took 173 home today. On my way home, there is an uncle who offered 2 curry puffs to someone who is a stranger to him. The uncle does not seem to have any motive behind his actions. I could feel that he was sincere. However, I was thinking whether will the boy accept the curry puffs. The boy was reluctant to accept the curry puffs initially. After much persuasion by the uncle, he accepted the curry puffs.

If you were in the boy's shoes, will you accept the curry puffs? If I were in the boy's shoes, regardless the persuasion, I doubt I will accept the curry puffs. Despite knowing that he is very sincere, somehow I am still feeling uncomfortable with the idea of accepting the curry puffs.

How about you?

netball

Upcoming events:
15-16 Aug: Netballuxion 2009

22 Aug : Pesta Sukan (Mixed Open)

October: POL-ITE Netball

November: Year End League

December: Nations Cup

My hands are getting itchy. I can't wait to be back on court and going at full force!

I have a dream and I want to fulfil it!

so difficult

i hate doing something that i am not confident in. For example, comunication. I really hate it. I am really afraid that what I have said will hurt you. I do not know how to handle people's reactions.

ARGH! this is something really hard to learn! :(

Today's training:
1. Do not just dodge. Do change of direction instead.
2. Do not always go for far option.
3. More left hand passes!
4. A few footwork here and there
5. Look at the co-shooter once in the goal circle.
6. Always look at the ball.

Next training:
1. left hand passes only
2. more sprints. (> 5)
3. No more footwork
4. More ball awareness.

building up the tempo

I am trying to build up my study tempo as well as my training tempo.

I have started proper revision, meaning go into depth for all the topics. Lazy Hui Mui used to browse through topics and hardly remember the key points. :( I thought doing subject by subject would be better than jumping from a topic of a subject to that of another subject. Started off my revision with Mathematics. I think my pace for revision can further increase. I am currently revising an average of 4 topics per day. Jia You!

Training wise, I am still looking for a training partner for my weekend run. I am trying to discipline myself to go for a long run every weekend to build up my threashold level. I want to become fitter. The only way to do so is to keep training. If I do not train regularly, I will not improve my fitness level and thus, lead to a drop in performance level on court!

Right now, I am trying to get use to the training schedule that I set out for myself. It is not easy to maintain it. It needs high level of commitment and self-discipline! Jia You!

Communication Matters
Communication is often the favorite activity of Geminis. They tend to be very eloquent and witty conversationalists; this is a good thing because they are usually quite talkative individuals. Geminis are known for having outstanding communication skills, and they get along with most people. On the downside, because Geminis enjoy talking and are very people oriented, they sometimes engage in more gossip than they should.

High Tolerance for Change
Geminis thrive on change. They thrive on novel experiences and constantly seek opportunities to try new things. The perfect quote to sum up how Geminis view change is "variety is the spice of life". The versatility aspect of typical Gemini traits means that people born under this sign are usually adept at multi-tasking. They thrive on juggling numerous priorities and projects, and they really aren't happy unless they're working on several things simultaneously.

On the downside, Geminis can easily become bored, and aren't great at concentrating on a single project for a long period of time. They become restless when there isn't enough change and excitement, and there's nothing a Gemini hates more than feeling stuck in a rut. When Geminis get bored with a project, they're known to just stop working on it so they can focus on something else that catches their attention.

Intellect
Geminis tend to be very intelligent, and their minds work in a rational and logical manner. With varied interests, their high level of curiosity often drives those with Gemini traits to become knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects. They learn quickly and easily, and seek out opportunities to acquire new knowledge. However, they don't always do well in traditional educational settings, simply because they get bored very easily.

Dependability
Geminis aren't always the most reliable of individuals. Because they tend to get restless and bored when there isn't enough excitement, they change their minds quite frequently. Since they thrive on change and excitement, finishing projects once begun isn't a strong suit of Gemini individuals.

Another hilly run today! Completed 5.29km today.

:)

frustrated

I do not understand the world and the world does not understand me! :(

I do not understand my parents and they do not understand me.

I do not understand my brothers and they do not understand the family.

I do not understand my friends and they do not understand me.

I am trying to understand myself...

an inspiring book

I read an inspiring book during one of the free periods yesterday. I do not agree with every details that was mentioned in the book. However, I felt that some of the pointers given by the authors were very useful for me. The book is titled "Excel in Sports and Studies. You can do it!". Its written by Steven Quek C.H. and Renuka Satianathan.

The most useful method to do as many things as possible in life is to spend every single second that we have meaningfully. Time spent waiting for buses, time spent queueing up for food, time spent on travelling by public transports and any other time spent on waiting for someone or for an event to start should be spent wisely. For example, read a book while waiting for bus.

Making every second counts allows you to do many more things. For example, instead of rushing to buy food during bring in the first half of break (which normally has longer queue compared to the second half of the break), spend the first 10 minutes of the break on doing some homework. After the school, you will be spending 10 minutes lesser in completing your homework and you spend the 10 minutes that you have on something else.

I think this tip - do not leave school immediately if you travel home by bus, is very useful. When you leave school right after the bell has rang, the bus is probably going to be crowded or you may not even be able to board the bus. Instead, leave the school 10 to 15 minutes later than your peers so as to have a more comfortable bus ride. Meanwhile, spend that 10 to 15 minutes finishing up the homework (and you will have less work to finish when you reach home!).

Together with the 10 minutes that you spent on homework during the break, you will have extra 20-25 minutes. An accumulation of these extra 20-25minutes daily will give you many extra HOURS overtime. Thus, you will be able to do many more things!

To aid you in able to spend this little pockets of time, plan ahead. For example, before leaving your home for the school in the morning, plan what you would like to read or study while waiting for the bus and while you are travelling home. This will help you to have sufficient materials for all the free time that you have.

Another inspiring point that I took away was set goals for your life to aid you in moving on in life.
I think that goal setting is very important. Start with an end in mind. Without a goal in mind, you will find no motivation and you will see life as a meaningless process. There are 3 types of goal - short term goals, intermediate goals and long term goals (aka ultimate aims). Short term goals are things that you aim to achieve in everyday life. Intermediate goals are goals to achieve in the process of achieving the long term goals.

For example your long term goal is to make it to the national squad of a particular sports. Your intermediate goal would be to make it to the age-group squad by year 2010. Short term goal would then be things that you want to achieve during every training.

These goals will help you to overcome your tough times. Whenever you feel like giving up during your training, remind yourself that you are pushing on because you want to achieve your goals.

This brings me to another important point mentioned in the book - set the correct attitude, always be positive. Your attitude determines your altitude. When you meet an obstacle in your path to achieve your goals, you should always remain positive and tell yourself that you will overcome the obstacles and become stronger. On the other hand, if you have negative thoughts such as you will fail to tackle the problem, you will never overcome the problem.

Always enter a situation with the mindset that you will be the winner. This will help to push you to put in all your effort. As long as you have tried your best, you will never look back and ask "what if" which we should not.

Staying positive will also help you to pick up yourself after an unsuccessful attempt.

Hope these have inspired you like how it has been done to me! :)

Ran 4.68km today. Lots of hill work! Good toning for my thighs! :)

got whacked

My poor little finger...

Joined my friend to play netball last thursday. During one of the games, the opponent gave a smack directly to my hand while I was going for the ball. My poor little fourth finger was injured. I have yet to figure out what sort of injury is my finger experiencing from. But, something strange happened yesterday. I was rubbing my finger and it swells up! :(

Apparently, its movements are very restricted. :(

haircut

Had a haircut today. (:

:)

Felt good after a run of 6.08km (information by mapmyrun.com)

Frustration

After a month, my beloved computer is finally back. :) Apparently, this seems to be the only thing for me to celebrate.

Things have not been going well. Common Test Grade: A C E S. (A good word, huh?) A for Maths. C for Chem. E for Bio - 50/100 actually :( . S for Geography (Oh well, expected it since I did not study the topic, Globalisation) Another S for GP. ARGH! Work hard! Work hard! Time management!!

Someone is driving me nuts. =.= What are you thinking? Can you tell me your mind, please? Moved forward and got bounced back.

So what's next for us? Play harder(Purely)? What's next? I am kind of frustrated with the way things are going. Things aren't in place. The support is not enough for us to move forward. But then again, this is a family club.

Argh! Sometimes, I get so sick of coming home that I feel like staying all nights.

FRUSTRATED!

netball (mixed and women)

Haha. I miss playing women's netball. It has been a year or so since I last played in open women netball until 3 days ago. I truly miss playing women netball. It is a totally different ball game from mixed netball. At least, I feel tall in the women netball. haha.

Honestly, in mixed netball, the paste is certainly faster and the game is more aggressively played. Strategies used are very much different too. On the other hand, to play better in the women's game, training with guys certainly helped.

Pesta Sukan is coming up soon! I need to start training my physical. Ever since the end of ENL, I have slowed down my paste for training and obviously, my fitness dropped like nobody business. Worst of all, my muslces feel like they are all filled with fats and only fats. *SIGH*

All right, got to go. *another sigh*

Hope can get my comp back asap! :((

ENL

I have enojoyed my holiday, I would say. It was difficult to make a good balance between events. (I have not revise Maths and Chem!) I was down for ENL this holdiay. It was a good experience.

Mixed Open - Although started playing in mixed open still start of 2008, I have not played in an hour game before. It is a different ball game from that where there is only women on court. I was certainly challenged to my limit (both physically and mentally). I was down for umpiring yesterday. As a watcher of the final where players got really heated about the game, I finally internalise the meaning of being emotional on court. I had bad attitude on court for 2 of the games. Come to think of it again, it just a game afterall. Respect the umpires and keep the game going. Whatever that went right, whatever that went wrong, just keep the game going. :)

Round up for the ENL: 3 wins 1 loss. :)

Umpiring - Up-ed by another level :) I have learnt a lot of things from this season. Thanks to all the umpire coaches. I think that it is great that they are around. It is good for the newbies as ENL showcase a lot of playing styles (Year End League hardly have many clubs signing up), a good chance for us to learn and pick up new things. However, it is not possible to learn unless there are some basic guidance. :)

Time to go back to my pile of revision. BYE!

Comp crushed :(

time to re-charge!

Weekend is finally here!

The week has been eventful. Let's take a look.

Monday: Geography Common Test in the afternoon. I had umpiring at night.
Tuesday: I went for Hillgrove training in the afternoon and went for AVP training at night.
Wednesday: Umpired for Hillgrove's game in the afternoon (well done girls!) and Umpired for ENL at night.
Thursday: Attended a seminar and had an ENL game at night. (YIPPEE!! :) )
Today: Went to watch 'A' Division Rugby Final.

Although I was very tired, I enjoyed the week. :) Gonna re-charge this weekend to be ready to chiong again!

Things for today's umpiring:
1. same northern side as bench official
2. Watch out for 3 feet.
3. Open up earlier at the goal line.
4. Give advantage appropriately.
5. Re-positioning.

Should I rest?

I am kind of worried for myself for umpiring. I feel really lousy about myself. I was testing myself today but things seemed bad, very bad. I could not keep my focus on the game for long. I tend to wonder into the space easily.

I felt quite tired before the game. What's wrong with me? Am I not having enough rest? I slept for 8 hours yesterday and when I woke up this morning, I felt fresh. In the afternoon, my body seemed to be breaking apart.

Should I really take a rest? It takes time to reach the peak form after the rest but I would have a fresher mind. Should I give myself a break that is long enough for my body to recuperate and let my knee be on holiday?

I am very reluctant to give up what I have now. I want to build on from where I am now. On the other hand, I feel that I do not have that energy to push myself sometimes.

What should I do?

The progress report for first half of the year is out. The result is BAD. But, I would say that I am not disappointed because I know I deserve it.

GP: E
Geography: D
Biology: E
Chemistry: B
Mathematics: A

Obviously, such result will kick me out of contest for a place in local universities. I have just got to buck up!

more netball, please.. hehe :P

I am lack of netball to keep my life proper. Haha! just joking. Anyway, I am having once or twice netball a week now. The best part is I am eating as much as I do when I train 7 days a week. Emm.. I kind of miss those weeks where I need keep stuffing 2 sets of clothes into my bad daily.

Yesterday training was quite fruitful. Identified a few problems to work on.

1) Stop holding for too long.
2) Do not cut off everyone lanes, run at my stripe.

I need to run MORE! I need to increase my weekly mileage from 10 to 15!!!

motivation, where are you?

I am getting into my complain mood again.

I can't find any form of motivation of drive myself to get work done. I have been lying around at home and not doing much and I hate this. I hate not using the time to the utmost usage. The feeling of kowing that I have wasted time yet not having a source of motivation to drive myself to better spent the time, is totally horrible.

I have 3 days of school-less days. But, what have I done over the past 3 days?

Sat - Maths basic questions.
Sun - Chem File
Mon - Edit photos plus one story.

Isn't this bad? Completing only 3 tasks over the past 3 days! A Level is round the corner but I am not doing much to help myself. Parents-Meeting Session next Friday. Sigh!

You know what? The worst thing is that I keep forgetting what I have to do. I will keep thinking that I don't have much work to do when I have piles and piles of work to be completed.

:(

I sort of hate the way I am living now. I know I need to buck up. But, how to?

I hate going home facing this and that. I hate going to a place where I don't know how to express myself. (I mean my home.)

ARGH!

I am wasting time.

:( I am wasting time. ):

just a little thought

There were so much thoughts running through my mind.

I miss playing netball with jj. I miss A div time. Today marks the last day of second round. I was imagining how things would have been if we have entered second round. We were so near, yet... so far.
--

I just have got to put up a brave front in front of you. I was over the moon when you smiled at me. But I was disheartened when I am not sure what you meant by that.
--

Don't ask me why I didn't do this or that. Why don't you place yourself in my shoes?
--

It is a blessing to be able to walk. I was unable to walk properly this morning. It was very scary.

It feels just so good.

Thanks Bee Hoon, for the mini donuts. They were delicious!

It's feel just so good to play netball with AVP again. :)

Needed to complete an essay yesterday and as per usual, reserach is reqiured. But, guess what? I enjoyed doing the research. I dislike reading. The research that done yesterday has driven me to do more research and more reading. (:

Life is so packed! I want more time available for reading!!!!

I have failed

I am very upset with myself.

Looking back at my achievement so far, nothing shines out immediately. What have I been doing for the past 18 years?

I was thinking through what was the greatest achievement that I have obtained so far. But, guess what, I can't give you an answer. I have been through many things in my life but I do not seem to have achieve anything.

In primary school, I was a Vice-Head Prefect then Head Prefect. But how far have i gone from there? I played netball in primary 6. How far have I gone from there? I have not meet any target that I set out for any of the seasons.

In secondary school, things aren't any better. I was a sports leader, student councillor, in NPCC and Netball. I had an exchange programme. But what have I achieved? Sports leader - I did not learn much. Student councillor - I failed to work with the team; we failed to improve the school. NPCC - seeing how divided we are and not doing so many things that I could have done, breaks my heart. Netball - given another chance, I wished we have progressed much more.

In JC, life seems to be slightly better. But not. House Council was a failure. I failed to carry our my duties as a vice-cap. Netball? I have learnt several important lessons and skills but I failed to make changes. I failed to initiate changes. We could have gone much further. Redsports - My character fails. I failed to bring myself to a higher level. I promised something and I failed to do it. It jolly well could have severe consequences.

Friends - I failed to accept people for who they are.

I have failed.

We have the right to express our thoughts and feelings but some are meant to kept to ourselves. A well-learnt lesson today.

An opinionnated dominace person gets into trouble easily.

A Div 2009

Complicated feelings.

VJ vs JJ - 36 - 34
AJ vs JJ - 41 - 39
HCvs JJ - 49 - 29

Em..

Against VJ, it was a tough fight. We could not take a lead throughout the game. At a point of time, we were down by 6 goals. Taking one point at a time, we draw the game with 3 minutes to go. But, having the most crucial centrepass of ours being overturn and not missing any of theirs, VJ took the victory home.

Against AJ, we put up another good fight. The game started with AJ scoring 5 consecuetive goals. Finding our comfortable paste was the key to aid us in narrowing the margin. We were down 1 goal at the end of first quarter. We then take a 2 point lead at half time. Entering fourth quarter with 3 point lead. The start of fourth quarter was not smooth for JJ. AJ scored theirs and overturn ours to narrow the deficit to 1 point. This was maintained till with 1 minute 30 second left on the clock. AJ eventually win the game 41 - 39.

Against HC, HC dominates first quarter to win the game. We could not find our flow of attack. Poor shooting from me did not help. First quarter ended with HC taking 20 - 5 lead. In second quarter, both JJ and HC were taking turn to score our own centrepasses. 30 - 16, at the end of second quarter. Horrible shooting from me limited us from narrowing the margin. We scored only 3 goals in the third quarter. Fourth quarter was much better. We were the one taking control of the ball most of the time. But, last half went a bit haywire. We lost 49 - 29.

Dull moments

What am I doing?

I have a lot of work stacked aside. However, I am very reluctant to be bothered with it.

I feel that life is kind of dull now except when it comes to netball.

Staying in school, I would simply let time passed by. Going home, I would only go online or take a nap. Talking to my mum is not something wise to do.

Dull moments...

A little wish...

在我心里闪亮着的小希望：我希望一天会对我说：“妹！加油！”

每当我去比赛时，对我而言，没人的鼓励比我母亲来的有力。

妈，这是我心中的小小希望。。。

In the deepest point of my heart, there is a little wish that I hope that it will come true one day - I hope one day I would hear words of encouragement from my mum on days of tournament.

Nothing is as impactive as the encouragement from my mum.

Mum, I hope...

What we can control

We can't control what others want and how they choose to react but we can choose what we individual can fulfil. It does not matter how far they want to go. What matters most is how far do we choose to go.

As long as we have tried my best to carry out our roles, the result would not matter be it the desired one or not.

Dreams bring us to a greater height

I came to realisation of how important to have a dream.

Only with a dream, we motivate ourselves to strive for excellence.
Only with a dream, we find the meaning in life.
Only with a dream, we live for ourselves.

Without a dream, we lose our source of motivation.
Without a dream, we can't feel our life.
Without a dream, we live for the past.

Where to go? Which area should I explore? Emm??

Spread the Love

From: http://triggerers.blogspot.com/

There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honor and prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn,
cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.

If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbors and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.

Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a participative and collective process. So share the good quality .....

Paradox of our time in history

Came across this blog: http://jimsonkjoy.blogspot.com/

"In school we learn the lesson first and give the exams but in real life situation, Experience gives you the test first and then gives the lesson."


"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge , but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered the outer space but not the inner space. We've done bigger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this article to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or just ignore

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" By George Carlin (1937 - 2008)

Discouraged

I tried to improve my writing skill but everytime there seems to be there will be so much that will be editted. I tried publishing the articles on time but I have failed.

I have tried to improve my writing but no matter how many times I tried, I don't seem to be able to find the solution to the problem. Seeing nearly every corners of my work being editted, it demoralised me after putting much hard work . I have tried. But, the result is not rewarding me. How? How can I be better?

PW result is out today. I scored a B. I was hoping for an A. Sigh...

Things for today:

1. Internalise the two movement (roll and jump, drive through in the goal circle.)
2. Look out for the space.
3. Note your landing. Kind of weird for today.

New Skin

Don't read too much ito the skin. (:

I thought the previous one was kind of too complicated. I decided to look for a softer skin. And here you go. I think it is nice although I don't really like the words. so ya. (:

At the moment everything is under contruct. Will be back soon. :)

4 options! (:

Things for today:

1. SHARP turns
2. timing of rebounds

I had a beautiful sleep yesterday. GREAT! No coughing. :) Eh, honestly I have no idea what was my dream about.

Emm.. I love talking to you but at the same time I am afraid. I am afraid of your reply. It's always unpredictable.

I hate coughing. I couldn't sleep yesterday due to my coughing. I was super tired when I woke up this morning. Poor little me huh? Best part is, I can't sleep at my bed. I share the same room with my brothers. I went to sleep in the living room because I did not want to wake them up just because of my coughing.

No comfy bed, no sleep. :(

I hope this will not happen tonight. :)

I love the Banni lunch. More outing please miss! :)) hahaha! The whole story flows now. Emm.. hehe. :)

Probably when I am blogging this, you are not home yet. (I guess you know who you are :) )

I didn't say hi, not that I didn't want to but I am scare to do so.

I didn't look into your eyes, not that I didn't want to but I am scare to do so.

There is just so many occasions that I want to talk to you when I meet you. Not that I didn't want to but I am scare to do so.

:(

Things for today:

1. Do a leaping land instead of a split when doing a drive and defender is behind.
2. Passes for 2nd pass in the goal circle is too flat.

:)

Things for today:

1. Look for the co-shooter before going for the mid-fielders.
2. Look down the court.
3. Pass in the goal circle only when neccesary
4. No more breaking. (1 breaking, 1 point GONE!)
5. Hold if you are going for lob. Staying behind doesn't mean anything.
6. Never have 2 holding shooters for more than 1.5sec. Cannot receive the ball, got to go for a drive.

Come On! No more silly mistakes on court! :)

"Everyday there are choices we must may........."


This is the first sentence of a verse of a song (I have no idea what;s the song title). This line speaks my heart voice. Everyday we need to make decisions, be it critical or simply minor decisions. Sometime, we make the right ones, sometime we make the wrong ones.


Many times, we are in a dilemma of which option should we go for? This? that? What's the consequences of each option?

Does the competition matters?

I reaslised something about myself today.

I need competition to push myself. Without competition, I will only submit half plus six work.

Emm...

No regret :)

An important lesson learnt today.

Don't delay the timeline. What's need to be done today, make sure that it is done. All it takes to make this happen is discipline.

I was extremely reluctant to do the decorations needed for sports meet today. In fact, thoughts of delaying it came to my mind. But, Dominic made me realised my mistakes. All it takes is discipline, JUST DO IT!

Also, Dominic made me realised sometime to make things happen all it takes is gather courage to take the first step. I didn't dare to paint the banner. I didn't want to mess it up. However, seeing Dominic just simply keeps trying to paint the banner, a thought came to my mind - Why am I shunning away when art and craft is something that I am good at. In the end, I didn't manage to overcome my fear but nonwtheless, I learnt the lesson.

Thanks Dad!

Thanks Dad! I have my comp back. Yipee!!

My comp brokedown on Mon night. My father send it for repair today. And tada! Thanks Dad!! =D

Comp is just an useful tool. No comp, no internet, no msn. OMG

Too much netball

I didn't go to school today.

I wasn't feeling well in the morning. I went to vist the doctor at 10am. Guess what I fall sick due to too much netball. Let me explain. I have been doing too much vigorous activities to the extend that my body is unable to handle the pressure that I gave to my body. Thus, causing myself to fall sick. Em...

Remedy: rest and reduce the amount of netball. (eh..????)

There are 2 forms of leadership: hard and fast way & friendly but a little slowed down way.

Think of how others would feel towards what you say.

Hehe~

The WEST is gonna filled with plenty netball actions for next two months! Netball Super League(NSL) will be held at Jurong East Sports Complex! Yippee!!

I feel exhausted and burn out. I really wish that I don't have to go to school tomorrow. School, training, homework. This cycle repeats everyday. I doubt I can hang in there for long. The thought of giving up shows up. Also, I am affecting the rest of my activities outside netball. I am not doing a good job in house council. (I am very sorry, Dom.) I am not handling other stuffs well too. For example, socialising.

ARGH! I am so frustrated with myself. I keep telling myself handle my time well, handle my time. But, am I not trying hard enough? Or, I have simply too many things? What's the answer? What should I do?????

I am disturbed by the fact that I am not a badged umpire.

"Oh, we need badged umpire."
"Sorry, we have found a badged umpire."

Grr! Sometimes, I really feel like attacking certain annoying people. GRR!

Talking about life

Life's busy but I think I am enjoying it.

I think I am slowly falling in love with reading. hehe. I used to dislike reading. I think that it is such a dull pastime to have. But now, I think reading is kind of fun. The feeling of know something new is very satisfying.

My trainings are spread out throughout the whole week instead of clustered together during monday to wednesday. However, I don't think this a better option for me. I feel very exhausted. Em..

I changed my profile picture. I so damn love that bib! Hehe!

HOMEWORK, Homework, homework, hw. No point complainting over it I guess. This is life. But, seriously, there's so much homework for this weekend. 2 chem tut, 2 maths tut, 1 bio tut, gp research. SO far, i have only completed one maths tut. oh no. hai..

Another day, tomorrow. A battle of pride. A battle of decisions. Oh well.

Hey, jia you man!

Yishun - a foriegn place.

Yishun is such a foreign place to me.

I needed to go to northLAND secondary for umpiring. I got lost in Yishun. I arrived at Yishun at 3+. My friend told me to take bus 804. But, guess what? seeing no one waiting for bus 804 and bus 806 came, I decided to try my luck. I asked the kind bus 806 bus driver for advice on the dirction to northland secondary. BUT the uncle mistaken northVIEW secondary for northland secondary. When I alighted from the bus, I realised that northland secondary is on the other end of Yishun. Then, I cabbed down to prevent myself from being late. Four dollars flew away. The cab uncle is very nice. Thanks uncle for your advice on the way to get to the mrt station!

After umpiring has ended, I wanted to walk back to the interchange. And I lost my way again. Luckily, there is a super nice auntie who brought me to the interchange.

A big thanks to all who helped me today - bus 806 bus uncle, Huamin pri's sercurity guard, passerbys who directed me, the cab uncle and the auntie who brought me to the mrt station!

Hui Mui, just stop and move on with life. Everyone has their problems. It is pointless to keep nagging on and on about the bad experience you encounter daily!

Argh! I hate myself for this! HMPH!

Yippee! I love shopping!

Loitered around IMM yesterday. I was looking for some good and cheap bag yesterday. (IMM was having quite a fair bit of sales). Nothing caught my eyes though. But, guess what, a jacket caught my eyes. A red shinny(??) jacket. (will put up picture of it soon). =D. Adidas is having 30% off for all their products. I was tempted to buy a pair of sky blue tennis shoes. It's gorgeous and the price is reasonable. (Less than 100 bucks). In the end, I didn't because I think I have enough shoes at home already. hehe. (:

What has been happening?

Life is kind of dull I guess. Em...

This picture speaks my heart.

In life, sometimes, it is just so difficult to balance everything. In order to balance well, we need to find the centre of gravity which very often, we rarely find it.

Am I overly committed to netball that I lost my life?

I remembered not long ago, a random friend advised me on my busy lifestyle. She said that I maybe enjoy netball but I am doing it at the expense of other parts of my life. Back then, I ignored her advise but today I came pondering about what she said. Reaching home at after 11.15pm twice a week. Spending half of my sunday with my teammates. My free time in school is spent on practicing shooting. My free days are spent on watching netball games.

Too much netball for me?

Life is a game, play with confidence.

An interesting line which I gave some thoughts about it just now. Em...

Work Hard!

I want to work hard to achieve what I want. I want to kill this problem! I want to kill my communication problem! (As easy as communication maybe for you, it is a hassle for me!)

This problem has been a major flaw of me. I shall kill it once and for all!! :D

别有意义的新年

从前的新年或许都比今年的精彩，但我却从来没像今年如此的享受过年。今年的新年对我别具意义。今天看到亲戚朋友时，大家都像刚认识的朋友似的。但这让我发现到我因该珍惜过年期间的时间，来了解彼此，拉近彼此的感情。

老实说，在新加坡，有着比豹的速度还要快的生活步伐中，要抽出一些些时间来交流，简直难上加难。除了季节的时候，我们几乎是没有时间交流。。。

I must spend my New Year holiday wisely!

新年快乐！愿大家身体健康，天天开心！
Happy Niu Year!

我或许找不到词汇形容我当下的感受。

说失望，我也不知道要对什么东西失望好。我也不是生气。但今天的晚餐，我几乎完全都没有享受。我没听到我自己的笑声。我还看到了距离。A ______________(I don't know what to fill in) dinner.

Sorry mum for being rude.

Was googling just now and decided to look up for some random photos.

So sweet and so cute!!!

They look so sleepy!

Not a good day for me I guess. TIRED!!!

HOMEWORK:

1) Geog Research

2) Chem Tut

3) Maths Tut

4) GP Research

Sorry, I did not do my best and I chose not to do my best.

Busy week! I reached home nearly TWELVE midnight both Monday and yesterday. Tests for the week is DONE! Yippee!

Today is a fed up day!

Weekend

Decide to use blogger's skin for easy management.

Not much of links at the moment. No more tagboard. Leave comments at the post, ok? Thanks! :D

I slept the whole of today. I was just too tired to remain awake.

I can't exactly adapt back to the school life yet. School and homework seem kind of foreign to me. Even trainings are foreign to me.

Outside training tomorrow. No sleeping for me tonight since I slept too much in the day and need to study for Chem and Maths test.

School has been all right. I don't exactly love my timetable neither do I dislike the timetable. =D

Been netball-ing.. :D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I was reading someone's blog and I came to a conclusion about life. No one will ever fully understand you other than yourself. In fact, most of the time we don't even understand ourselves so what can expect from others.

She said that she hates me. Honestly, I don't understand this person. Given my kind of hasty character, I have a even harder time to understand her. Not that I am answering her blog but rather, since you have went to the extend of hating me, this has certainly shown that you don't understand me at all. The fact that I am a Gemini, you can't expect anything less than that I have 2 sides of me. Then, since you are uncomfortable with things that I do, I thought it would be good that you tell me. Oh well..

Another conclusion that I obtained is that we should not wait for others to accomodate to us. A mistake that I made too. We always want things to go our way. When things don't go our way, we blame others. I realised this mistake recently. Why are we always thinking that our way is the right way just because we came out with the idea?

I feel that when we feel uncomfrotable about someone we should tell him/her straight.

New Heater

Yippee! We have heater once again. A few years back, our heater spoilt. Since then, in order to get hot water, we need to boil the water manually.

A few days ago, brother bought a heater. And my dad fixed it! Thanks bro and dad! It feels perfect to take a warm bath!

I love my shoes!

Homework officially left with Bio tutorial and Geog tutorial. :/ Another day to school!!!

Meet up Michelle Loo and Shawn Shawn today. Shawn keeps hitting me and I keep hitting her. WAHAHA! Shawn was very kind to wait with me to change ez-link cards (not mine.) Thanks!

Yesterday, couldn't make it for Hillgrove's training. I spent whole day at home. Cleaning my house and doing homework!

Eng Chuan ah Eng Chuan, can we meet up soon? I don't wanna give you 2 Birthday present on 7th Aug 2009 leh!

Is this a form of stress?

I have been feeling this: I feel worried that I am not doing anything. Since the first time I start writing our timetable for myself during the holiday, this has become a must-do kind of thing for me. If I don't have a schedule, I feel so lost. This feeling irritates me!
Em...

7th January! 5 more days to school!

I went for a haircut yesterday.

It's 4th Jan already! 4 days of 2009 have passed.

1st Jan - I was resting at home.
2nd Jan - I went back to school for self training. I went to Hillgrove in the afternoon for their training.
3rd Jan - Umpired for Daisy Tan Carnival
Today - Netball training.

Oh no!! I have not done any homework for the past four days. I am left with biology tutorial, geography tutorial and chemistry tutorial. And I am only left with one week of holiday to go. I need to make good use of my holiday! I think I am way too involved in netball.

Happy 2009!
