I feel very distant.

I need to be more positive!

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

I need to look for something to do in the morning!

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?

We always enjoy the process of thinking that we are right..

I have moved on from SMU. I have withdrawn from SMU.

I do not think that this is a setback. I think this is just one of the many experiences in life. = )

Stop judging me with your blindfolded eyes.

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.

I will quit SMU and go and having a degree that I want.

What's next in life for me?

Being an umpire coordinator is not easy. Really.

Things haven't been going well. The week will get better! : )

If only today wasn't the ending...

We didn't want it badly enough...

Lesson learnt: Work on my stamina
Knowledge gained: Lobs, reading the game, playing as a GA.

No more dropped balls, put in every balls, take every rebounds, no more bad passes, no more bad decisions!

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
I have tried many things in 2010.

1. first time to coffee bean


2. first time to malaysia (and subsequently made another 3 trips)


3. first time, beating zenith, in Netballuxion, first Gold medal!


4. first 8km race


5. first 10km race (many more to come!)


6. first time playing frisbee!


7. first time staying over at someone's place

2010 has been an awesome year! : )

In 2011, there are many things that I want to do too!

I want learn skating, win IVP 2011, get straight As for my modules, watch World Netball Championship, work at Netball Singapore under Operations, volunteer for some sports events, work harder in umpiring and many more! Jia You! : )

2011 Resolutions

1) No cold food and drinks
2) Study harder
3) Spend below $650 every month

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

Here's an analysis of my Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 10km Race:

Time: 1 hour 15 min 8 sec

Overall: 4572/15444
Women: 1692/8073
Female U20: 151/492

Althought the timing did not meet my target, I am still pleased with my performance, consisdering this is me first 10km race. : )

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?
