Friendship

I think friendship is amazing. You form friendship in the most unexpected manner while some friendship just can never be formed. It feels like sometimes God has determined who should be around you and how close they should be with you.

I do believe that there are true friendship. I definite true friendship as people who will be there for you regardless of what they have been through with you. These people stay close with you even though you may not have spend a lot of time with them. But, every moment spend together are sincere. These friends deserve the best from you. They should only be treasured and never ever spend a moment that you are sincere. These friends stay with you for life time.

I have met most of my best friends in the most unconventional ways. I just want to tell them, thanks for being around me. I love you guys.

Apart from my best friends whom I have true friendship with, the rest are complicated.

Colleagues, project mates, classmates and any people whom you have relationship with due to activities or formal work may or may not end up as your friends. I find them the most complicated people. Some of them do eventually become some of your best friends. When they are yet to be, they are divided into many categories.

Worker Partner
These group of people are related to you nothing more than work. I usually don't consider them as friends simply because I can't open a conversation with them beyond work.

Friends
They are people who you can strike conversation with, have a meal together and do things beyond formal work together. However, you may not share personal things with them. Sometimes, this is due to different ideology or different interest. They just don't have the patient to listen to you.

Good Friends
This is closest level to best friends. You could almost do anything with them. You share most of your stories with them. The only reason why they are not your best friends yet is that you are not sure if they will be there for lifelong or you don't have that special connection yet.

I am thankful for how God have placed people around me. I will enjoy the friendship while it last.

English, I used to hate you!

I am amazed with how I am still catching up with blog. The blog is 8 years old and still going strong.

I used to hate writing and reading. I have learnt to appreciate it and see the importance to them well. I am still not at my best yet. However, I am consistently trying to improve my language ability. I used to dislike languages, especially English. Chinese was not much of a problem for me but English was. Every year, I need to pass English in order to be promoted. It was a pain to ensure that I pass my English.

During my JC days, I picked up journalism. It was difficult to put a piece of news together. To begin with, it was tough to write a proper sentence without grammar error. Forget about the vocabulary. That's way to tough. Years in Red Sports have definitely helped to improve my writing ability and changed the way I view language.

There are still many words that I do not understand their meanings but I will continue to try. Language has empowered me. Not only can I communicate with other people, it allows me to catch up with the events that are happening around the world. Most importantly, language helps to deliver a message.

I am happy with what I have achieved thus far. This is not it. I want to be better at it.

Motivations

• You don't need to be famous to inspire others. Being yourself and making every action of yours counts will inspire people around you. You can make the difference in someone's life simply with small actions.
• How far ahead should we plan? How much should we treasure about our present? At the end of the day, everyone will just tell you that life is fragile. 
• 或许我们在找寻别人的认同时，失去自己对自己的认同。What matter most is the faith you have in yourself. Don't lose it just because people around you think otherwise.
• 有人说我很强和我有打不死的精神。所以，她叫我小强！哈哈！
• You are no different from a dead if you have no goal, no dream. Dream big. Dream is the only thing that is free of charge and yet allows you to achieve most!
• If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine. It is lethal. (from a friend)
• Selflessness is about letting yourself free

June

Been sometime since I last wrote a post. Life been hectic and messy.

Nonetheless, I have enjoyed my birthday celebration with varies groups :) Thanks people :)

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. :)

New Blog Skin

I have changed the background of the blog. I like it a lot!

It feels great when you are able to making someone smile. =)

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.

Happy 2013!

Happy New Year!

I have thought for very long before I was able to come out with my goals and resolutions for 2013.

1) Catch a sunrise.
2) Y1.2, Y2.1 results: 3.3 for each semester
3) Run standard chartered marathon
4) Compete in Lifesaving Still and Open Water Competition
5) Be disciplined in strengthening programme and trainings

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!

December, you watch out! I will work 10 times harder to be ready for 2013 seasons!

I felt really lost and frustrated to hear that no more netball and swimming training for now. Oh well, work hard and get back strong! Go go!!

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

 I am in a dilemma. I don't know what will be the best for my students and myself.

things in hand:
studies
juying
scc
lifesaving
