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! (:

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*
