I should be sleeping early. Hopefully before two.

Last night’s game was fun. I played GA, C, WA, GD then C again.

Long time didn’t play in the rain. Tonight get to play some netball in the rain. It was also quite fun. Hope the rest didn’t catch a cold.

Long long day tomorrow. Need to wake up at seven and hopefully can reach home before midnight.

3rd Viscosupplementation

WooHoo… Received a boomerang by mail today. Thanks Nix!! Gotta try it tomorrow. Hope the field at NYP is empty.

Third injection was ok today. It’s just like the second one but I’m more time efficient this time. I went to the pharmacy first before I went to the clinic. So, it only took like an hour to finish everything. Hope my knee will get better from the lubricant.

Bought a pair of classic look shades at East Point after that and also had lunch and went to work.

Umpired with Jasmine after work. It was fun umpiring today. The game was a display of fast long passes and many interceptions. It’s amazing what athletic players can do on court and I was carried away in awe sometimes. Opps… Umpire shouldn’t be.

A friend called to go for supper just now. It was really satisfying feasting on many Dim Sum at a restaurant at Geylang. The restaurant is WanDouSek in Cantonese. The must try there is the bbq pork bun. You must try it yourself to know how good it is.

Chao… gotta go now.

Dyed my hair red today. And also layering and thinning was done. My head actually felt lighter. Haha…

Walked home and bought fried prawn noodle, cheng teng, and durian for dinner. Waited like twenty minutes for the fried prawn noodle. The aunty and uncle were so busy with so many customers. They must be very tired.

Going CGH again tomorrow for third injection. After that will have to go back office to work and then umpire at Hougang at night.

Oh ya.. Today is one year as an umpire. I past my test last year today umpiring with Sharon.

Sunday was a really fine day. Up early to umpire a carnival with less than four hours of sleep. The games were quite messy as all the players don’t know the game. But then, it was fun watching them play. They are all so excited and doing their best to play. And the company was great too. Cracking jokes and chit chatting with Louisa and Amy. After umpiring, we went Suntec for bubble tea and then walked to city hall for lunch.
When I was sitting downstairs to finish my cig, a kid wave to me while walking behind his parents. So cute!! I smile and he wave again. Haha…

I’m so sleepy today. On the way to CGH from office, I took bus and change to train. During the bus ride, I press the bell to alight but didn’t alight because I was dreaming. Lucky I woke up before the bus leave the stop and I hurried off. The time I step down the stairs, I hit my head so hard. I think the whole bus must be watching me perform the drama.
Physio was tough today. After that took bus to KNC for umpiring. But the bus crawl so slowly and I was late for about twenty minutes. Lucky JQ help me umpire for few minutes before I reach. I did pretty badly today. My legs just don’t want to go where I wanted to. Sharks!! So tired after physio.

I’m getting a haircut tomorrow. But donno what style should I have. Hmmmm…

Have just shower after karaoke celebrating Jo’s birthday and also for Zenith keeping the unbeaten record for the second year in NL. YooHoo… We’ll do it for next year too gals.

Was up early to work today. But actually don’t have much to do until Monday when my boss is back.

Went straight to coaching after that and only had two piece of pancake for lunch.
Did something pretty different for training. Hope shooters don’t have shooting phobia. But what can I do? Have to improve their shooting percentage.

My concentration for umpiring was pretty off today. It was so hot and I’m so tired. Sorry ar. But I think I was consistent in what I call. And also what I miss.

Herd something very disappointing after Zenith’s game. But at least it’s not from their own mouth. I’ll treat it as I’ve never herd it.

Sakura buffet was shoik. Stuffing so much food after starving for the day.

Look at the time now. Should I sleep or shouldn’t I? Gotta wake up before seven thirty later.

Umpired with YanLing last night for a postpone game.

Umpiring again today, tomorrow and the day after. Wah! it's getting to be like a full time job now. But the pay is so little :-(

Coaching later, hope the weather is not so hot. But anyway, training goes on.

Had been sleeping later and later lately. What am I doing?
Better sleep earlier. But I doubt so.

Work was damn boring today. I doze off a few times seriously.

Today we had friendly game at TP. Started a little late, so only manage to play most two quarters for each of us. Had a slight sprain on my left ankle while playing Centre. And the pain on my left knee feels different after the injection. Is it good or bad?

A few of us went Mustafa after training. Had dinner at one of the restaurant there. The food is a little expansive but tasted quite alright. My first time in Mustafa. Quite exciting actually. Feels like being in another world. It’s totally different from other shopping centre. It’s like a giant provision shop. You can actually find weird stuffs here. And also unique, rare, one of a kind things. Me and my friends walked around and were just amazed by it. So, I did some shopping too. But I have to leave before them before I miss the bus home.

2nd Viscosupplementation

I was at CGH this morning for second injection. So, after collecting the SYNVISC injection at the pharmacy, I went back to Sports Medicine Centre for the treatment. My knee was iced for like fifteen minutes before the injection. Almost got frost bite, knee was all red. This time round feels a little painful during the injection. I think I concentrate too much on it. And so I spent two hundred plus again today. Lucky the anti-inflammatory is free. It is something stronger than last week and it's not to be sold. Dr Jason’s professional samples.

I went East Point for lunch after that. Wanted to have BanMian and when I order, the aunty ask me to wait. After a while waiting, she say the soup is not ready. And so I ask her when will it be ready? She say ten minutes. Then she explain the soup inside is ok but the soup outside is not ready. I ask her why can’t you use the soup inside? And I’ve also told her I don’t want to know why but know when. She say har? I think she don’t understand what I mean. So I say I don’t want already. And then she say ok ok now can. I wave her off.
I think I was rude to behave like that. I’m sorry BanMian aunty!!

After lunch I went back office to work. I was so sleepy during the journey. Don’t know why? Am I really that tired?
A few visitors came to see demo and explanation on the technology my company is using around four. And then I and my manager went Woodlands to a customer’s place to collect parts to scan for reports. So I worked till seven thirty to send the report to the customer. But not complete yet. Will do the other one tomorrow.

Umpired eight forty game with Pamela today. I made a major mistake. I pointed the right direction but called the wrong team for centre pass. And I did it twice. The first one I realise before the centre pass was taken and call the right team name. But the second one when I realise it, the ball has went a few passes. Too late to call it back. Ahhrrrr… Shall be more careful.

My Story Continues

Where was I? Ok.

After we’ve moved to the town. We would walk to school everyday when I was in primary four and five. And my past time after school is usually a nap after lunch, and do homework before going out to play in the evening. I would usually cycle around the neighbourhood in the evening. And sometimes we would fly kite and play with the neighbours. I wasn’t involved in any CCA during primary school. I tried to play basketball but didn’t really pick it up. We moved to further away from school when I was in primary six. Until now, my family had been staying there. I didn’t concentrate on my studies then. But I did alright, didn’t fail any test or exams. My Chinese is usually the weakest and have the lowest score. I cycle to school after we moved in primary six. That was only for half a year.
Then come secondary school. It’s further away from home and we would take the school bus to school everyday. And everyday after school, we would play Chinese chess while waiting for the bus. The wait is usually about an hour. So, a few of us would challenge one another everyday and sometimes continue the next day if we couldn’t finish the game. Because that we study at an independent school, there would be extra classes for students that have also taken up government subjects. Morning class would be independent school subjects and afternoon class for government subjects. Classes are usually until three or four and three days a week. And so, my brother and I would take the public transport home after school for those days. I think it was sec three that we started to cycle to school and then we are able to get home earlier.
I was in table tennis then. But we wouldn’t play at all cause of the many peoples and not enough tables to use. And we have also picked up Karate. There’s only like five people learning it. But anyway, we manage to get black belt and also take part in a competition. I still remember that time we travel so far for the competition. And in one of the sparing match, I hit an opponent on his nose and he bleed. That was unforgettable, seeing blood dripping from his nose.
I didn’t play basketball seriously until I was in sec four. A bit too late to make it into school team then. But we would motorbike to the public court and play basketball every evening. Oh, this is after we change to government school where schooling time is not till so late. And even before we change school, we ride to school everyday and we have no license yet. Lucky we have never been caught.
And on my studies, I would usually fail Chinese and History. Two lines of red colour between blue ones at the end of the year. Subject I was good at is Chemistry and Physics. Though I don’t study for exams, I scored quite alright for them. And like all students do, we went for tuitions. English, Malay, Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and even on Moral education when nearing the SPM exam.

Sorry. Tell more of my story next time. Life in poly and how I came to Singapore.
Till then.

My Story

Wasn’t feel like sleeping yet so putting up another post. What should I write? Hmmm…

Maybe something about my past. As most of you know, I’m a Malaysian. I was born at a place with a leaning clock tower. Not sure if it is still standing now. That place has superb ChuCheongFun. I really miss it.
My childhood was spent at a provision shop where family runs it. As all kids do, I ran around with my brother everyday during those times. But most of the times we have to be kept out of the shop cause my dad and grandpa has to do business. So, we played with the coffee shop kids next door sometimes at their house sometimes at ours. And sometimes my mum will bring us to the jetty nearby in the evening and also to play at the playground there.
When I was five, we moved to a larger town because my uncle had set up a factory and my dad help him run the factory together there. We went to kindergarten and we were still as playful as before. My mother will have to chase us to give us food everyday. But still, we scored more than ninety for tests every time. If I didn’t remember wrongly. And in the evening, we would go fly kite and play with the neighbours. Grandpa was with us then. He sat on the couch at the living room everyday and would drink stout. And sometimes, he would give us some too. Haha!
We moved again when I’m starting my primary school. This time we moved back to the place I spend my first five years. But this time, my dad started a hardware shop. Our home is nearby the shop walking distance away. Everyday, I, my brother and my sis would walk to school together. And after school, we will spend our time at the shop before going home together with mum. My grandpa stays at the shop all the time even at night. All of us in the family will have lunch at the shop together after school. And in the evening, my mum will usually send food over to the shop for dad and grandpa. Sometimes, we will go together if we are not busy playing. Now, our usual past time would be fishing at the river in front of our house. Sometimes play with the leaves and branches around. Catching grasshoppers was part of our routine games too. After that, we moved from our kampong house to a terrace house further away like for only one year if I didn’t remember wrongly.
One day, my grandpa past away at the shop in his sleep. I think he was in his seventies. All the adults were pretty sad except us kids. Now that I think of it, I really miss him. Although he look very serious with his looks without a smile all the time, but he would play with us whenever we go to him. Oh ya, why do I use the word we all the time. Cause I’m always with my brother. We were like glued together since birth. And even before, with the nine months together in my mother’s womb. I miss him so so much now, having our different lives so far apart.
After my grandpa’s death, we’ve moved back to help my uncle with his expanding factory. I was primary four then. In that year, when lives are just getting better, my uncle was murdered. The murderer was never found. And the company has to be close down with the absence of my uncle. With the lost of a big customer, my dad set up a company to continue the business in a much smaller scale. I’ve spend the remanding of my primary and also my secondary school at that town. We’ve moved again but in the same town during my secondary school time.

Woow! Look at the time, it’s already two plus. Gotta catch some sleep for work tomorrow. Continue the story next time.

Just had two Udon instant noodles. The Miso Crunch I had at KFC just now is more like a snack than a meal.

Umpired with Jasmine today. I sweat so much. By the time the game end, I’m all drench. My runs for umpiring today were bad. Can’t really run a lot with these knees I have. So damn painful!

Almost have heart attack for the first quarter Zenith played today. But the girls manage to come back in the second quarter and hold on to the lead. One more game to go.

Can’t Sunday be a bit longer?

Woke up at two thirty today. Went to buy some groceries and also got wafer and durian for brunch. After that, went Singapore Post to buy some stationary. Got white board tape for my strategies board. Taped it just now, so nice. Walked home and then cycled to Bedok and helped umpired. I enjoy watching them play.

Zenith having a game tomorrow. Go go go!!!

I snapped for a while there today. Was frustrated for a while during training. I blamed myself for their performance. Who else can I blame? I’m the person in control of all the trainings. I think I should change the way I coach gradually for their good.

Drag myself to get up today. Was supposed to umpire a game in the morning but poured after warm up. Waited a while for the rain to stop but it didn’t.
Went shopping for a while after that. Saw a very beautiful basketball shoe and was thinking if I should buy it. When I finally decide to try it on, they don’t have my size. Save up on spending. But I’ve got a pair of socks since I’m in the shop.
Coaching was alright but rained during some times. Changed a bit of my plans for it. Wanted to go watch division one game but was too tired and decide to go home instead.

Tomorrow is a day I get to rest.

Ouch! Back ache.

Game tonight was lots of fun. Played Centre, GA and GD. Shall look at my other feeder more when I play Centre. I’m lack in that. And my stamina is so bad, must be the exhaustion from yesterday.

I’m so dead. Tomorrow is another long day.

1st Viscosupplementation

Wooow… It was a long day today.

Went CGH for appointment in the morning. Saw Dr Jason and decided to give it a try on the knee lubrication injection, since my condition is not getting any better. Actually it is called ‘Viscosupplementation’. Had my first injection today. Cost two hundred dollars for a jab. Will need two more to complete the treatment. And so I’ve run around CGH in the morning and spend like two hundred fifty dollars. Aahhhrrr…. Here goes my hard earn blood and sweat money. And two more weeks spending the same amount again.

Dr Jason didn’t let me watch he do the injection. He wants me to lie and not sited up, because that will contract my quadriceps and he wouldn’t be able to do the procedure. Anyway, I can still see the ultrasound monitor. Saw the needle injected into the area between bones. I think the bones should be my knee cap and thigh bone. He sucked out the existing fluid in my knee and then inject in the artificial lubricant. Cool huh! And the lubricant is called ‘SYNVISC’. And before that my knee was iced. I think it’s to reduce irritation during the procedure and also help the extracting of existing knee fluid. The fluid that was sucked out is actually yellow colour and the artificial one is clear. It was a very simple procedure, and I wasn’t required to stay off from any exercise for this few days. But Dr Jason gave me some painkillers just in case my knee doesn’t accept the injection well.

And after that went for lunch and had my favourite coffee. Yeah!
When I was having lunch, NS asked me to umpire for tonight’s game. And so, I went home to get my umpire stuff before head off to office.
It was drizzling when I knock off. Had to dry the area I’ll be running to umpire before the game. Haha… Players dry the court, umpire dry outside of the court.
Judith umpired with me today. Last time I umpired with her was for U21s selection.

Zenith playing on court one for the eight forty game. The girls did quite alright. Though we won by more than thirty goals, the game can be much neater.

Thursday tomorrow. Yay! Got game. Don’t know if I’m able to play. Knee aches. Opps… Didn’t stretch after umpire today.

Went to watch 21s vs Maldives game just now. 38 – 22 Maldives won. It was a frustrating game to watch. Think what Kate says was right. Didn’t look at it that way when I was watching.

Going CGH tomorrow morning. Haha… Can have my favourite coffee at East Point.

Not so safe

My boss is back. And work was quite alright today. He was on holiday and have bought us coffee from Vietnam. Trung Nguyen coffee. Gotta try it tomorrow.
Umpired with Rachel today. I think I did ok. Knee is aching though.

Someone from Llab 10 lost her bag. I was sitting at the spot where she put it before umpiring. Joyce was with me at that moment. Later found out that Joyce did saw a guy took it. And after I reached home, she called and she’s at the police station making report. Guess Singapore is not really that safe after all. Think I’ve been taking it for granted too. Must raise my precaution level.

Zzzz...

Woke up at three plus today. Actually still wanted to sleep but gotta save it for tonight. If not later cannot sleep.
I've finally mop the floor of my room. Last time was donno how many months ago. I only vacum most of the time.
Watched tv till now. So boring...
Monday tomorrow. Lagi boring...
Umpiring eight forty game. Hope it's not for that team. Tolong ahr...

Ahhrrrrr…
Knee ache. Kill me please. I don’t want this, but I can’t help it.
I still want to play.

Played only two quarters this morning. Playing GA was fine. Doing what I did best. But miss a few shots.
GK was not bad too. Manage to keep the shooters away from the pole and got many interceptions. But still, miss out a few high balls to the base. Shall be more alert next time I play defence.
Lunched at AMK Hub after that. Nasi Padang was quite yummy.

Cabbed to school for coaching cause running late. It was pretty hot as usual. Did space awareness and linkages on court today. Didn’t work out very well but it’s alright. Shall use more drills to improve it next week.
Bought bubble tea for the girls after training. Actually it’s for losing to my shooter in a shooting game we played. SiaSuey!!

And after that head to TaoPayoh for NSL final. Marlins prove to be the strongest this year with undefeated record. It would have been a close fight if Vipers have more than just one shooter today.

Iced my knee just now but still swelling. Will need to ice it again later. Haiz…
Hope I’ll be able to run during umpiring on Monday.

Netball again today after work. It was quite fun playing with my girls and Eric’s girls.
Tomorrow will be another day of netballing. Haha… Whole day. Yay!! Game in the morning. Coaching in the afternoon. And watch NSL final in the evening. What a busy day it’ll be. Definitely gonna be fun.

Didn’t go work yesterday. Hmmm… I should give myself a date for the limit.
Played basketball alone before training. Not fun. Can’t do much of the stuff I used to be able to do. The air time I have had reduced tremendously.
Eric’s birthday. Sabo him so badly after training. Haha…

Found it

Umpire with Joyce at Hougang today. Before that went Hougang mall to eat and walk around. Finally found it. Nike socks. Yaa… They have extra large. I’ve been looking around for low cut, Nike, extra large socks but couldn’t find any for the past few weeks. Bought myself two pairs and wore it to umpire today. It’s very comfortable. Love it.
This is the second time I umpire at Hougang Sports Hall. Loves the echo from the whistle and shouts. It makes it extra loud. Cool.
My back is aching. Ouch!! And also my knee. Should have worn ankle guards to stabilise my runs.

Memories

Today is so boring. Work and then home. Did nothing at home except watching tv. Sian… Can’t I get my life be more exciting?
Was watching this show on tv, where a famous chef cook for a special person in his life. I thought about myself. Is there anyone special? I really can’t recall of any. I think there should be someone, just that I can’t remember. I have a very weak memory. I have forgotten most of my own history. My childhood, schooling times, times I’m with my friends. Many peoples in my life I can’t remember them. Maybe it’s not significant. But what is? What occupy the memory part of my brain?

Work was like usual today. Boring!!! Wish I have a more exciting job. Something out of the ordinary. But again. Do I have the guts to take it when opportunities arise? I don’t know.
Today is training day again, but I didn’t train. Still recovering from Saturday’s umpiring. Knee is still aching. But looking at the girls do drills makes me wanna do too. I like drills. I like team drills. The team work involve makes a team play a better game.
Gonna umpire div1 game on Wednesday. Gotta get myself ready for it.

New here

Trying out this new blog since nothing to do today.
First entry here but nothing to say for now.
Wait for more updates next time ok.
