May is coming soon!
April is coming to an end!
It has been an amazing and fruitful month. Life is filled with ups and downs, as usual. Losing confident in myself to play netball was one of the greatest challenges that I faced this month. I asked myself who am I. Thanks for helping me to get back up, Jean! I know I am not back yet but I am coming back slowly.
NYP Netball has been giving several issues. So much so that I had enough. It is time for me to move on. Oh well!
Highlight of the month: I went to Bangkok alone! For the first time in my whole life, I traveled alone! I have met amazing people, eaten delicious delicacies and shopped till drop. Haha!
I am proud of my Juying girls. They are growing everyday. :)

Life Gets Insane!
Life can get really crazy sometimes. Life challenges both your mental and physical abilities all the time. Life can get so harsh that you feel like giving up. Then, you look back and see how life first begin.
Life hasn't been easy and I know it will not get easier. It will only challenge me to be a stronger and better person.
During the process, I may get worn out, be filled with frustrations, learn many things and meet lots of people.
I can't thank all my friends enough for standing by me through all the hard times and be there for me to share joys with them. I can't appreciate my family enough who are there everyday. I can't thank life enough for all the opportunities that have been presented to me thus far. Life is beautiful. I just need to learn the beauty of it. Life has been good thus far. It will only get better.
I am ready to work really hard. I have sorted out my mind and prepared myself to fight the battle.
I have wondered many questions and I am amazed of how God unfold the answers.
I have been asking myself several times to find the answer to my purpose for studying physiotherapy. Recently, I found the answer. It is for me to help the people around me to maintain a good physical health. Quitting the course will not allowed me to learn more knowledge to help more people.
On another occasion, I asked myself how could I appreciate myself better. I found the answer in the end.
Life is amazing. Keep believing!

I read a note from Joyce about how umpiring is about the joy of umpiring and not the outcome of umpiring. It is not the fame that is important. It is the ability to conduct a fair game for the players that matter.
I think this apply to many aspects of life. Enjoy the process. Let the result take care of itself. Allow the passion to do its job.

Blessed
I completed about 30 laps (include warm-up) during friday training and I did 20 laps (exclude warm-up) today! Woohoo! All done in freestyle. Well done!
Years back, I started shooting with right hand after my left thumb suffer a stress fracture. Recently, I am progressing well in freestyle because I can't swim breaststroke due to my knee injury. Blessing in disguised!

Biceps Femoris Injury
After consultations with 3 different physiotherapists, the common conclusion is that it is the biceps femoris that is giving me the problem, particularly the tendon. The cause was poor range of ankle dorsiflexion and the repetitive action of sprinting (concentric and eccentric contraction of biceps femoris).
I will work hard for the rehabilitation process. Legs are feelings wobbly after each session! Shiok and tiring!

Tiring November
It has been a busy, tiring and fruitful November.
There are so many things. There were so many moments that I feel like giving up. However, I didn't. I am very glad that I did not. Jia you! I will survive this week and all the other weeks! :D

Beyond Hopeless
It was beyond words that could describe my feelings for the team, NYP Netball. It is not about losing the game. It is about how each and everyone value the game. I am not disappointed rather I feel annoyed and zero ownership.
NATO suits perfectly well for the team. No Action Talk Only. Why? We give one thousand and one comments about the play. However, no one takes the comments seriously. I have only one feeling for the team. I have given up. I will only give my best for this season and after that, I will take my leave. FULLSTOP.

Stressed up
I have been really stressed up over the last few days.
Pesta Sukan, scholarship, exams, presentations = enough to kill me.
I kept asking myself what do I wish to focus on. It is just so tough to answer.
Lifesaving? NYP Netball? Club Netball? Umpiring? Coaching? Tuition? Running? Academics? How should I rank them? I am confused and I am lost. =/

I have many thoughts today.
I need to buck up and start revision. I am not happy with B. I want A! Go go Mui!
I am happy with my Juying girls' progression. However, I am not happy with the injuries rate. I need to find out what's going wrong! I am definitely not satisfied with Hong Kah girls' progression. It is way too slow.
It is so easy to misunderstand one another, even among good friends. It is so easy to assume one another's intentions and cause some conflicts. Thank you awesome friends who have always stay by me and support my decisions. I truly appreciate your effort.
Lastly, when there is any misunderstanding, clear them!

A day filled with many thoughts..
I am glad that I am studying Physiotherapy. I am loving what I am studying now. I will revise constantly and daily to avoid backlog!
I definitely need better time management between all my activities and academic. Jia you Hui Mui, you can do it.
Find someone who can love you more than you do. And when you found one, treasure him!

Starfish 2012
NSL has just ended last week. We finished fourth for the season after losing 36-41 to Blaze Dolphins during the semi-final. During the final, they announced the national opens team. It is definitely motivating and a little dishearten when you see people of your ge made it to the team but not you. I will definitely work a lot harder as I can only get better.
Overview for this season:
1. Great improvement for the runs
2. Improve confidence
3. Better finishing off of the run by being stronger
4. Improve stamina, be able to last at least 4 quarters

Updates
It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. February has been great. Lots of ups and downs. I was selected for M1 Starfish, playing my second season for NSL. I chose playing over umpiring. I have played in the first four games for NSL. I like how Sharryn trains us. Her training is intense and I have learnt a lot of things. I have also learnt a lot about myself from the past few matches. I will keep working on my flaws and use my strengths on court!
I applied for the MOH Health Science Scholarship and I got it! This is definitely a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect myself to get it! Thanks for the opportunity!
These few months, through the tough times, I am very grateful for all my friends who have stand by me. Thanks for always being there! As the saying goes, it is not the number of friends that you have, but the number of true friends you have! This is so true! The support from these awesome friends have helped me pull through on so many occasions! Thanks!

Hello, 2012!
2011 has come to an end and 2012 has just started.
I am sure that 2012 will be a fruitful year if I put in the effort. I am just a little lost about what do I really want. Emm..
2011 was great! I have struggled and survived. I played Netball Super League and IVP. I went to New Zealand and Hong Kong. I paid my first CPF while working at OCBC. I coached my first school, Juying Sec. I watched my first ever World Netball Championship and I want to watch it again in 2015! I went overeas 6 times this year! Hong Kong trip was my first ever netball trip!
For 2012, I want to travel to Thailand (either Bangkok or Phuket or both) and Hokaiddo! I will score only Distinction and High Distinction for all the modules!

I have always wondered if you are the right person for me. I have realised that i have lied too much to you that I think I should seriously stop lying. I guess you just not the kind of gu that I am looking for now. I did like you before but I think that is as far as I have gone. When I put you into the same surrounding as I was in, I realised I just find myself difficult to go near you. This has shown me a lot about how I feel about you. You are a great friend. I think you deserve someone who is able to share a common mindset as you. Sorry for all the lies that I have said because I just really do not know how to face many things. Sorry.

I think a change of mentality to keep our relationship to just friends has probably make things much better.
As per usual, you are Mr Nice. Sometime, it is hard to just keep thinking that way. =(
I know you are not ready. I also don't know what would be the outcome one day. I am not sure if this is the way that you keep in contact with every temporary staff. Sometimes, I just wish I know the answer to all my queries. I dislike that feeling to keep waiting and being unsure of the final result.
Nonetheless, it has been good to chat with you and go out with you.
If you ever read this one day, please answer all my questions!

The art of communication is probably the hardest thing to master in the world. I don't like it when I need to think thrice or more before sending every email. It can be quite annoying. But, this is life. Growing up is sometime nothing less than learning how to present yourself in the public and speak in such a manner that please everyone.
Should I be tresauring every opportunity to learn to communicate better or are people taking advantage of me? I seriously hate it when people tell me that they are busy and express themselves as if they are the only freaking souls that are busy! ROAR!

I didn't get into the 21s squad. It didn't come as a shock to me. I was mentally prepared for the result. Nonetheless, I think I have learnt and grown a lot when I was in the squad from March to July. I played my first ever NSL.
I should use this time to do things to improve myself both as a person and as an althete. Life is short. We can't predict the next moment.
When one door closes, there are many other doors that are opened. These are the routes we should venture into.
Time to be adventurous and try new things! *wink*
Netballuxion was great! I enjoyed myself. ;)
'Grace" which consisted of myself, Van Soh, Hui Lin and Shi Lin, finished first in Open Women. I think I could have contributed more to the team.
'AVP' which consisted of myself, Michael, Shu Ping, Grace, Daniel and Bernie, finished second in Open Mixed. I am happy with the result. I did not expect ourselves to finish top 2. ;)

Today was a great day!
I helped Litetutors to update some stuffs on the blog and the website. I should continue to work hard and see if that is a suitable route for me. I felt accomplished!
Yesterday night, a friend of mine told me that I have inspired him. Doesn't it feel just so great that someone tell you so?
Training today at Juying is much lighter and focused on basics. Nonetheless, it was a great training. The girls enjoyed themselves.
We are going to have a camp in Nov! I am looking forward to it!
I have thought about many things for the past few days. I think sometime life is about trying your best and reaping the best result of it. It may not be the ideal result but at least that the best and move on from there. It is difficult to do so. However, when you start trying to do so, you know you can venture on and make every second of your life counts.
When life is tough, share it with a friend. When life gets better, share it with a friend too. There are many friends who come and leave. There are friends who just shouldn't be even considered to be friends. However, ignore all these and cherish friends who are always there for you.
*Stay Positive, Mui!*

End of July
July is coming to an end. It has been an amazing July. I certainly miss World Netball Chmapionship. I also had my first netball tournament-Pesta Sukan, with my Juying girls.
They did fairly all right. Nonetheless, there are still a lot of things to work on, particularly space awareness and getting rid of opponents.
August is coming! There are definitely a few things to look forward to in Aug - Netballuxion and Pesta Sukan. I have not played with AVP in a game since last year Netballuxion! It will be a good gathering! ;) The following weekend, after Netballuxion, I will be playing my first ever Pesta Sukan with Nike. Woohoo!

WNC 2011 was awesome! I worked with one of the nicest group of people that I have ever met - Suzanne, Edna, Sam, Julie, Judith, Vicki, Tertia, Lyn, Bernie and the local statistians! I am motivatived to be a statistian for other netball events. I want to earn and save up as much as I can to travel around New Zealand.
I felt sad for New Zealand for losing the final by one point! :(

Rooms for Improvement
I have recently started my new job with OCBC Bank (Raffles Place). So far so good. Nice colleagues, learning new stuff. Nonetheless, I feel weird to see myself in office wear. :/
I think I need to be more humble when I talk to others. I think I am getting too sensitive with things and I am being too proud of myself. I should tone down more.
I need to take care of my hygiene too!
Last but not least, I need to be more self-displine and display higher level of commitment towards everything, especially my tutees.

Even since I quitted school, life has revolved round netball and probably only around netball. haha! Took up coaching in Juying Sec. So far so good, but hopefully nothing too fancy from them, especially the teachers.
I have also taken up another student for tuition. I have also took up an offer by U.Les, helping Red Sports to cover netball. I am also helping Netball Singapore to cover Netball Super League.
New lifestyle, I would say.
I am playing my first ever Netball Super League. I am very grateful for the opportunities. I have grown a lot, stronger and better. = ) Congrats to all who achieved their new badges during NSL! =D I will come challenging you guys! =D

You have made an impact
Will I get to see you again and talk to you again? Maybe i will forget you one day.
It is so strange how we started. I did not have a good impression of you when we first met. However, I take my hats of to you with how committed you are to make the season a great one for both the umpires and the players.
I remembered how much I wished for the season but not now. I wished the season did not end, so that I could see you again.
I wished I have asked you out today but I did not have the guts to do so.
Will I get to see you again?

It is not the physical aspect of failure that's scary. It is the mental aspect. When you fail, people look at you differently. People question you if you will succeed in your next attempt. Sometimes' others doubting cause us to doubt ourselves too.
Others may say ''why bother about what others say?'' We only need to answer to ourselves.
What do you think?

I have made 2 major decisions today.
1. reject NS offer
2. play for NSL
They were tough decisions but i have to made them.
Througout the latst few days, I have been thinking what is life. I have come to a conclusion:
Do what you love in life.
Woring in office is seriously something that I don't like, thus, I rejected NS' offer. I enjoy being at the frontline, constantly be in action.
Playing is what I love. I enjoy umpiring too but I know I love playing slightly more than umpiring.
1. reject NS offer
2. play for NSL
They were tough decisions but i have to made them.

Looking back to 2010
Looking back at 2010, it has been a fruitful and eventful year!
Highlight of 2010:
19 PS
I have grown a lot during the 5 months, both phycially and mentally. I nearly quitted. The coaches have made me realised that result is not what matters. It is the effort and the process that matter most. Thanks everyone for everything! : )
Umpire Development Squad
There were so many things that I couldn't adapt to in the umpire circle. I was just about to quit this too. Iam glad that I stayed on and improved myself. It always feels good to surprise others how your hard work have paid off. Heee :) Thanks to all the coaches and fellow umpires who have helped me!
U Run 2010
This is my first ever race! I did it with other Red Crew, Screws, Jon, Erwin, Mai and Hong Yong. I finished 10th! Haha! It was a fun race. : )
First Semester at SMU
I have tried many things in SMU, including skating for the first time, trekking for the first time. Other first time, include getting a F for exam (aiyoyo!!). There are many ups and downs. These have made me grown up. :) More to come in second semester! :)
Many firsts

Sometimes, I keep telling myself to be open-minded and take in all the advices and evaluate them, afterwhich.
I realised something about myself recently. Once I shut myself down from listen to someone due to an incident, I shut myself down totally from that person regardless of what he/she says. I think this is something bad. I should not take things too personal.

I am excited about going to Australia in 2012, be it to experience a different life or to pursue my passion.
It will not be easy but I will make the best out of what I have.
I realised this about myself while going through things during this period. Attitude is what matters most.
I have also realised the most important thing in live is to experience. Achieving is probably a bonus. The process is really what matter and not the result.

SCSM 2010
Thursday, December 09, 2010
Didn't like today's netball game. I am very angry with Bernice.
Sometimes, I do think that she is too full of herself. If I ever get to umpire her game, I am very sure she will be the first player that I send out. She is giving way too much comments about umpires and even said that she is ashamed to umpire now because the umpiring standard has dropped. If you think you so good, please go ahead, take the whistle and make it to international stage.
I am very annoyed with her as well because she thinks she is always playing well. Given her size and half-hearted runs, it is near impossible to throw her lobs when she has a male opponent. For a thousand and one times, we have told her to stop throwing lobs, she insisted and gave unnecessary turnovers.
Netball is a team sports.
For the CSP, they putting total blame on me, saying that they are not related to this incident. Well done, huh?

A bad day today.
Umpiring in the morning wasn't good. My legs were not moving!
The briefing session in the afternoon for Si Ling Pri Sch CSP Programme wasn't well-organised. The honest truth - I do not have much interest in the project. I wished that it will be cancelled. This is probably the first time that I want a project to be cancelled.
I seriously think that I only have interest in sports. Anything beyond sports, I have no interest in them. Good! Now I know where my interest lies. No more Tritouch in year 2 if I am staying.
SMU netball did not gone as smoothly as i wanted. I feel that I did not play well. I had a hard time reading the play.
Well done, AVP! I am so glad that we win the game! Thanks to Jean's "joke", I smiled ; the only thing that made me smile today.
Thank you everyone who helped me today to overcome all the tough moments!

Exams are over!
Exams are over! I promise I will work hard the next semester! No more last minute revision and consistency throughout the whole semester!
Whether the next semester will be my second semester or my last semester, I have not decided.
No mater which is it, I will still do my best. I will ace all the modules!

No more last minute work!
I promise I will not repeat my mistake for the next semester.
I will be ready for every class. It seriously kills to prepare last minute for exams. Without the readings done for classes and reading them through for the first time for exams, kills! There is no way that I will absorb just before exams.

Sometimes, I refuse to believe that you are what people see you as. When I see with my own eyes, I must say you have thoroughly disappointed me.
I do agree that you have the nice side of you. However, sometimes the things you do really make me feel like scolding you. Sometimes, you simply do things without common sense. I must say I amazed with how selfish you can be at times.
You are no longer a kid. I am very sure you can do much more than this.
Haizz..
What's wrong with being lousy and trying to improve?
I pick up frisbee for the sole purpose of playing it recreationally. I have no intention of playing it competitively.
I am just trying my best to learn and play to my best ability in netball. I may not be good but I am trying to improve. I go down for the game for the sole purpose of having fun and learn to play better. You do not need to condem me.
You are a good player in both netball and frisbee. I respect you for that. I would just appreciate if you can see that everyone don't play as competitive as you do.

I feel sorry for you. I didn't know you have received such bad news. Don't give up! Keep going!
Rough and Tough week! 2 Reports, 1 Research Paper, 1 Presentation! ZOMG!
The process of finding umpires for tomorrow matches is a pain! Thank god one of the matches is postponed, lighting my work load.
Leave SMU and study at RP? Its a tough decision, really!

Throw myself into the rubbish bin
Stressful Monday.
So many things to do. And I still can't find umpires for this wed. Everyone is asking everyone else to umpire. Sometimes I just feel so fed up that I just feel like saying into their face that you are not fit to be an umpire. You can be a lousy umpire but you can't be an umpire who has no passion. Sad truth.
Nearly wanted to tear myself up today. I am not having interest in the projects that I need to submit. This is seriously super sian.
Give me my problems, I will throw myself into the rubbish bin.

Week 12
I cannot wait for week 12 to be over. Its such a long week. It did not start well either.
Yesterday's umpiring was crapped! I missed out things that I ususally would blow them. I need to handle the fear of making mistakes better.
I must say I am very tempted to skip training. However, I don't want to allow this.
Things to do for this week:
1) TWC Report (Literaure Review)
2) Business Law Presentation (TODAY!!!)
3) Sunday's Netball Event
4) Academic Writing Research Paper
5) Make notes for TWC Final Exams
6) Make notes for Business Law Final Exams
7) Leadership and Teambuilding Presentation
8) LTB Report
OMG! Long long week. Luckily, I have cancelled my upiring at TP this wed. Phew!
Jia you! It will be over soon!!! : )

Life
The weeks that went by were pretty good I guess. Nonetheless, there were some frustrations here and there.
Played a frisbee tournament for the first time in my life. I had fun! Tempest was just an awesome team! I must say Weiji is a good captain. I admire the way he handles all of us with patience and constantly encouraging the newbies.
The opening match for Mixed Social League was not very pleasant. I did not play to my best ability. I knew I had more to offer. AVP did not play well either, too much opinions I guess. I disliked some of the dirty things I saw and heard during the game both from us and the opponents. This was probably what turned the game sour. We should just let the umpires control the game. I do agree that the umpires did not do a fantastic job. I do know that one of them is not serious in umpiring at all. It is a SOCIAL league. Let's be more friendly.
Up to date, I have umpired 3 games for Year End League. The first was obviously bad. I have not been umpiring actively and exercising regularly. I could not connect myself to the game. the second game was better. This is probably the first game I umpired with confidence. 3 Cheers for myself! ;) I was quite scared before the game started as I heard many things about one of the teams. Third game was not average I guess. I need to move my eyes more often. ;)
We finally made our first trip to Care Corner to carry out our LTB project on computer literacy. It was a good outing. The kids were very active. I was very tired after the session ended. The news of them wanting us to carry out the next computer programme for them in Dec certainly encouraged us to work harder for the project.
I felt bad to blast at Rebecca a few days before the visit to the home. I had a late night the day before the meeting. The turn up was bad and I lost my temper. Sorry, Rebecca.
I collected my Nike Race's race pack today. I think the design for the shirt is all right but not the colour. I look like a traffic police with it. I can't imagine 12 000 traffic police running on 24th Oct.
Today felt like April's Fool Day. KS tricked me. He told me that he left Kallang without umpiring the game. I was really pissed off at that moment. Only when the game was ending, he told me he umpired the game. What a prank!

Life is about having fun
Life is about having fun, isn't it?
Some of us worries about money. I agree that money is important.
Some of us worries about staying single. Having a partner is important, a life partner especially.
Some of worries about our studies.
Some of us worries about ranking and status.
All of us have one thousand and one things to worry about. If we put some of these aside and start having fun in life, you will reslise you are achieve more. I am not saying that what we are worrying is trivial. Worrying them will not help you to acheieve them.
In fact, worrying will only cause you to worry more. Take a step back and relax your shoulders. Its not easy but when you do so, you will see that the world is beautiful and colourful. ;)
Do things that you love and like. Don't do things for any other reasons. You may still get what you want at the end of the day but isn't then life becomes meaningless? Focus on the process. Result is secondary.
Really.

Bad
What's love? I asked myself.
Please don't make me lose the faith in love. I hate the fact that when you like someone, the someone like someone else.
