I am hell tired now. Watched World cup with Red Crew. It was a session felt with laughter and fun. The game between England and USA was crap! I can't believe that they draw 1-1. :(
After the last game, we concuss on the sofa. We then left U.Les house at 6.30am. I reached home at around 7am. However, my parents aren't home yet and I forgot to bring my house key. I managed to catch an hour of sleep before heading out to give tuition.
After tuition, I head to Sentosa to meet KS and his friends to play volleyball, a sports that I am trying hard to like it. We played other sports too, basketball, frisbee and a little soccer. I had fun but I felt stressed playing with them especially when KS give me that come on face.
Got to go now. I am super tired after having only an hour of sleep for the past 30 plus hours. Bye!

Blogging at Bishan Sports Hall
For the first time, I am doing blogging at a sports hall. Supposed to cover a gymnastic event. The website wrote 9am-7pm. However, they are only starting their first day at 6pm. It is good and bad, I guess. The good part is I get to go and watch netball at Scape. The bad part is I came at the wrong time and need to come back later.
Another reason why I can blog at a sports hall is I finally have my personal laptop. YEAH! I bought Lenovo G460. Thanks to XZ! without his help, I will not be able to have the laptop. Happy, sha lalalala... ;)
Over the last few days, I don't feel good after myself. I think i am a very rude person and I talk too much. I always interrupt others when they are talking. Bad! Bad!

Ace your interview
Before Job interview
•If you are short listed for a Job Interview, it is important to check the exact Job Interview location (since the Job Interview location may differ from the actual workplace), time of the Job Interview and of course the name of the company.
•It would be useful to note the availability of the transportation services if you are unfamiliar with the Job Interview location. In addition, bring along the contact number of the person in-charge of the Job Interview session just in case you are unable to find the location or you are unexpectedly held up.
•Based on the second guideline, give yourself ample allowance for travelling. It is always better to be early than late. Always remember that unexpected events jams may delay your journey.
•Regardless of the jobs that you are applying, always dress smartly for the Job Interview. There is no need to overdress for the occasion. Wearing a tie would suffice for males instead of a jacket. For females, avoid wearing short skirts or revealing clothes. For both genders, always wear covered footwear.
•Remember to bring along relevant documents like your certificates, identification card, driver’s license and passport (for those without identification card).
During Job Interview
•Knock the door before you enter the room if the Job Interviewer(s) are already waiting inside. On the other hand, if you are waiting for the Job Interviewer(s) to arrive, stand up and greet them the moment they enter the room.
•Give a firm handshake and greet them warmly (e.g. Good Afternoon Sir/Madam). If you know their names, just greet them by their first name would suffice (e.g. Mr Lim).
•During the conversation with the Job Interviewer(s), it is important to maintain eye-contact at all times. However, do not stare at them!
•Speak clearly and confidently, do not try to rush through your words.
•Recognize that it is only natural to be nervous. Take a deep breath and try not to feel so self-conscious.
•When you are asked a specific question, do not talk as though you are regurgitating all the information that you have remembered. Employers are looking for someone who can think and apply their knowledge, and not someone who can remember an annual report.
•Do not try to over impress your Job Interviewers. The Job Interviewers are only humans. They may be interviewing candidates that may one day replace their jobs. To put it simply, if they feel threatened by you, they will not give you the job. Appear humble and not boastful when you are asked to describe yourself. Even though you may have years of relevant working experience and job knowledge, do not behave as though you know more than the interviewer.
•Some Job Interviewers may try all means to intimidate you in order to assess your suitability for a highly demanding work environment. You need to remain composed throughout the Job Interview and avoid feeling upset or nervous.
•Be honest with your answers. Never try to pretend as though you know something when you actually don’t. You may get away with it during the Job Interview, but certainly not when you start working. Reply with answers such as “Although I do not have any working experience/knowledge in that area, I am interested and willing to learn”.
•When candidates are asked to described their weaknesses, be honest about it, but not overly honest until you lose the job! Never give reasons sounding like this: “The problem with me is that I am too hardworking and don’t know when to stop!” Try this for a change: “I believe my current weakness is the lack of relevant working experience/job knowledge……I believe another weakness of mine is the inability to speak a third language such as Japanese”.
•If you are asked what your expected salary is, try to give them a range (e.g. $1800-$2200) that you are comfortable with and state that you are opened to negotiation.
•Nearing the end of the Job Interview, most employers will ask you whether you have any questions to ask. The last thing you need to say is “no”! Do not raise questions pertaining to the remunerations, at least not during the first Job Interview. Ask questions relating to the company and job scope to demonstrate your interest, sincerity and enthusiasm.
After the Job Interview
•Please ensure that you remain contactable at all times and check your mail box and email regularly.
•If possible, send out a “thank-you” letter to the Job Interviewer to thank them for their time and for the opportunity to attend the Job Interview.

Ever felt walking is a hassle? I feel it now. I have been ignoring the pain in my archilles tendon, thinking that it is due to tight muscles and stretching would solve the problem. In reality, tight muscles is only one of the many reasons. It is over-used too.. and other unknown reasons.
Sometime, I can't walk due to the pain. :(
Not good! I don't like to rest!!

Life
It has been some time since I last blogged. Oh well...
I made it to 19s squad but not the team.
Honestly, I am no longer seeing my passion like the way it did when I was still in JC. I do not see myself fighting. I have no more motivation to play netball. I feel like a dead fish in Nike. I do not see the hardworking and passionate Hui Mui in 19s. I do not even see myself enjoying netball in AVP.
I don't feel like going back to school either. I miss school very much but I do not have any passion in studying. Not knowing what I want to do in the future does not help the situation either.
I am feeling frustrated with my eldest brother. I really hope I can understand what he is thinking so that we can help him to be happier at home. Sometime, I dislike going home because I do not wish to see him creating havoc at home. I have a fear of those noises that he creates.
I want to do better at Red Sports. I want to reach the stage where I can published my own articles. I want to be a better REDcrew where I can contribute more in Red Sports!

So much emotions
I am angry. I am pissed. I am annoyed. I am frustrated. I am disappointed. I am irritated.

780th post! Amazing! This is how much blogging I have done.
Life is amazing too, how far life has come.. To come to think of it, sometimes I wonder what's life. I am amazed with what people Living through day by day laughing at what others do. Some people live their life focusing on getting things right and ignore what others say about them (I am impressed with these people!). Some live their life gossiping about others and listen to the rumours.
Putting that aside, not wanting to kill too many brain cells, I learnt a great life lesson yesterday - be sincere. It takes courage to be sincere. People may view you as a fool but ignore them. You will move people who see your sincerity and there will be people who feel and see them. Sincerity is all it takes to improve oneself.

Chinese New Year
The first day of New Year was very quiet. I did not meet more than half of my relactives this year. The day was really quiet. The second day was as per usual. The third day was fun!
Meh and I hit Sam's house at 10 plus to eat. Then we headed to Jem's house to gamble! I lost 2 bucks :( But it was fun! Lots of laughter! We disperse at around 3.30pm as Sam zoom down to town to meet his girlfriend. They are so cute! Sam made brownie and spagettite for his girlfriend when they are going to eat out. Furthermore, Sam brought cheese and icing and topping for the brownie along too to add them on the spot! What a cute and sweet couple!
After dispersing, I went over to Uncle Les' house! We played Mafia War (another version of Werewolf). Colin was trying so hard to convince everyone while screws was always the first to be eliminated! haha! Had a good laugh! We had steamboat at U.Les' house too.
Then on the fourth day of new year, Screws, Van and Von came over to my house to watch ABL. Patriots thrashed SMB (and they claimed their crown yesterday.). Laughed and took photos! :) Fun FUN!!
This new year was fun! :)

I am opening up my university courses choices. I closed all my options and only left 2 to choose from, which I thought this shouldn't be the way, which is why I open up more options.
I used to narrow down my options to only Sports Science and Physiotherapy. However, I thought I should include, Horticulture, Accountancy, Life Science courses into my list of options too. emm..
New Year is coming! I am so going to make it a fun new year!!!

Umpiring was my life for the last of whole week. I was quite disappointed with myself in many aspects. I think I was too arrogant about myself. Also, I am disappointed with my progress in umpiring. I think it's too slow.
Saturday's Daisy Tan Carnival totally drain me out! My legs felt as though they have just completed a full marathon! My legs are still feeling tired. Had fun on Saturday though!
There will be more challenges to come this week! Jia You! And stay focus during games!

Been a few days since I last blogged. It has been a challenging week, learning how to face failures. Not easy.
I was very angry on Friday with the juniors and blasted at them during training. Captain and vice-captains of the senior teams were ill-disciplined and I was very disgusted by it.
My body cannot take the stress and told me to rest today. :(

Life
I had a shaky 2010 start. But I am sure things will only get better. :)
Right now, I am giving tuition and doing umpiring. Sometime, going back to Hillgrove to train the young ones.
I am thinking if I should find a full-time job for a few months or should I just continue volunteering for Red Sports and also volunteer at Alexandra Hospital. Em.. I can't make the decision.
I miss school. It feels less stressful and less things to be concern with when studying.

Sometimes, I wonder if I have taken the wrong route back then, after O Level. Now that I realise I would like to do Sports Science, and Sports Science in RP can be converted to Bachelor by taking a year in an university overseas, I wondered if poly could have been a better route for me.
I am someone who needs to constantly keep myself busy. I cannot keep myself busy now since I have no school. And I have fears for my A Level. =( Sigh..
Right now, I am wondering if I should get a fulltime job. But if I do so, I will miss out on schools' games. HOW?!?!?!
