My trout is itchy. Hope it doesn’t get worst tomorrow. Irritating…

Icing my knee now. Please don’t swell. Please…
Played some netball today. Felt really weak when I play.
Is it the tiredness or I’ve weakened?
Shall I get myself back in shape?
What for?

Maybe after the tournament is confirmed then.

Accidentally elbowed a player and her eye lid were cut and bled. I’m really sorry…
Sorry…

Slept till dinner time just now.
Missed basketball today and next week couldn't go.
I really want to have my last great tournament before I retire for good.
Sleeping again real soon.
So feel like not going work tomorrow.
Can I don't go work?
Can I don't work?
Money...
Can't I just find something I enjoy to do as my job?
Just got home. Extremely sleepy now.

Yesterday morning wake up super early to catch Polite game at nine. NYP lost to NP by only one goal. After that, I umpired the ten fifteen game.

Then head to Kallang for Pesta Sukan. Was almost late because of the waiting twenty minutes for bus thirty one at TaoPayoh. And game was postponed to next Sunday.

Had lunch with so peoples from the team and then karaoke. It was fun… After that hang out till just now.

Hey. I have a new nick. ‘FrankieSingKaraContainingButt’ How it come about?? Long story.

Chao… Need to catch some beauty sleep.

Saturday, July 28, 2007

Went down stairs to grab some munch at seven eleven. While walking I felt the ache of my ankle and knee. Is it because of the cold weather lately?

Went for netball at Yishun but only three people were there. Haha... Pathetic. But I did some shopping at North Point before that, so still consider a fruitful trip.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day. Umpire Polite in the morning and playing Pesta Sukan in the afternoon.

Pesta Sukan, wasn't really excited this time round. Not that I don't intend to win, but I'm just not confident at all with the line up. And since the club had decided just to have fun, I'm going to do just that. Hope the rest is having the same mind set.

Friday, July 27, 2007

Good morning!!

I'm at home. Had just cooked myself instant noodle for brunch. I've mixed two flavours together. Haven't eat yet but hope it's not weird.

Raining raining again. So cold... I think I need some body fats.
I have really low concentration umpiring today. Felt like going to fall sick. You know the kind of feeling, extreme tiredness with warm body but feeling cold.

Went CGH today for follow up on my knee. I’ll have to cut down high impact sports if I want to continue to do sports. Contradicting isn’t it. Guess I’ll have to select the time I do impact sports. And doctor says, I’ll have to stop eventually if the condition gets bad.

After seeing the doctor I went to collect my glucosamine supply and anti-inflammatory. Then took bus to woodlands and travel like almost two hours. I think I should get myself a bike. Was thinking of buying like one year ago but till now still didn’t.

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

I think today is even colder than yesterday. My hands were freezing all day in office. Like working in a refrigerator.

Went to see Kate for my test review after work. I need to do the test again. Haiz…

Umpired Intercon game just now. Really tiring…

Tuesday, July 24, 2007

Busy at work today. Still trying to complete the stuffs last week. I’m really slow at work.

It’s freezing cold these two days. I better wear an extra layer tomorrow.

Had just finished another book today. It’s really good. Shall read more on the writer's work.

Anyone got antiboredom pills? I really need some. Give me the extra strong dose please.
Ouch! My shoulder is really killing me. So so so painful… Had been aching for days now.

Umpired polite game today. My runs were late again. Read the game KS. Alert and always ready to go. Shall concentrate more on it on next game I umpire.

Am I being too sensitive? Little thing do borders me. Ok. I shouldn’t be affected.

Sunday, July 22, 2007

Back from basketball. Got kneed, elbowed, and rejected once. But I made two beautiful rejections myself too. Or is it three? Hahaha… Should have been more if my timing is better. It’s great fun playing again. Totally enjoyed it. Shall do it again next week.

Shoulder, knees and back is aching now though.
Yesterday was a long day.

Didn’t able to do much again at work cause of another customer. Sharks!

After that took bus to TaoPayoh and met my buddy on the bus. So great! We went for lunch together and then to the sports hall. I umpired three and five o’clock game. I think I did alright for the three but was bad for the five. Irritating coach. The one that ‘Oooiiiee’ a lot, if you know who I mean. Really felt like sending her out the sports hall at times.

Went to shower at the public pool shower and head to PasirRis for bbq after that. It was quite fun eating and chatting with peoples from my club.

Woke up at one just now. Wanted to finish my work but till now I still haven’t start on it. Guess I’m not going to do any of it until I come back from basketball later.

Saturday, July 21, 2007

Damn… Slow progress at work. Still got bunch of reports to complete. Doubt I can finish it tomorrow.

Went to Jean’s wedding after work. Happy for her. The person that introduce me to Netball.

Another long day tomorrow.

Friday, July 20, 2007

Blur

Super blur today. Left my phone at home. But no difference actually, not many people contact me usually.

Suddenly got so many things to do at work today. And customer came and took up two hours. Then meeting with boss like almost and hour. Everything was delayed. Will I be able to finish the things I need to complete this week?

Rushed to RP for polite umpiring after work. My runs were really bad. Was late most of the time. Haiz… My knees are really affecting me.

I’m so tired… Exhausted… Gotta sleep now and go work early tomorrow. But I doubt so. Hehe…

Thursday, July 19, 2007

Hey! posting again.

Came back from supper with some old friends. I miss those peoples. It was never a stranger being with them. They just know how to treat people nice. I do miss them. But I'll ask myself if I'm ready to go back?

Went to work late today. Woke up like freeking late. Almost nine. But I guess my colleagues are just used to it. Yup. I'm always late for work.

Was organising some stuff for my club regarding Streetz Netball today. Haiz... It always happens. This person want to play together with that, and that with the other. It's all making my life hard man. How to put peoples in teams. Headache headache... But i'm looking at the bright side, at least it's a lesson to learn. Learning to be patient is most valuable.

Tomorrow is another long day. Hope it's a great one for me.

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Yay! My mum is alright. Had just talk to her on the phone. It’s great to hear her voice and her concerns. It used to be nagging but now sounded so nice. I really miss home.
Just thinking of the two weeks I won’t be seeing them makes me miss them already. I got so many things I want to teach them. I can’t stop thinking how I can train them better. Please don’t disappoint me.

My brother called last night saying my mum is in the hospital for check up. Suspect of Hepatitis C. Hope the result is negative.

What’s on my mind again? Things just pop up so randomly I can’t seem to focus most of the time.

Wanted to go NUS today but was really tired when I woke up, and decided not to go. So after work I came straight home. Till now I’m still not sleeping yet. What’s wrong ar?

I think I’m really bored of my life now. Nothing to look forward to at work, can’t do much sport anymore, no one to be with when I’m lonely. And really got nothing that excites me. No aim, targets, goals.

Hmmmm… Maybe I should do something different.

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Fuck!
Donno what's wrong with blogger, all the page elements are missing.

Polite

Back form RP for Polite. So tired so so tired.

Lucky I didn’t umpire the crucial game just now. My game was quite alright. RP vs ITE. But one of the RP players was injured. Not because of other players causing it. She didn’t land properly and got herself injured. It looks really serious. She was rolling on the floor. Besides that, ITE GK was warned by Vincent for delaying and bad conduct. I wanted to in the first quarter but decide to let her off.

NYP lost to TP today. Only by three goals. Was umpiring the other game so didn’t get to watch. Must be pretty exciting. Herd that both teams underperformed. Guess it’s the first match of the tournament that affects them.

Knees and ankle aching now. Haiz…..

Sunday, July 15, 2007

Bored bored bored…..

Came home after umpiring in the morning today. After lunch, took a long nap till eight. Now feel like sleeping already but why is it so hot? Shower first.

The weather is really getting hotter and hotter. Please help to change this. Everyone can do their part. Reduce waste, reduce energy usage.
Ahrrrr….. I’m drained.

Woke up early to umpire nineteen’s game at CCAB today. Don’t really like the court there. So limited space outside the side line and goal line. Vision was so affected with the near distance. But anyway, I didn’t know the score but nineteen beat the visitors again. Great job! Hope they will also perform playing against Bukit Jalill next week.

After that went coaching. I tried to be fierce but failed. I guess I’m too soft hearted. But the girls did show improvements. Much more serious and willing to work harder now. But still, there are still few that is slacking all the time. Please tell me how I can fix them?

Went to watch NL finals after that. The division one game was really close. Tied at full time and had to go for extra time. And Sneakers won by only three goals in the end. Tough luck Nike. It’s an exciting game but it was really rough. The roughest I’ve ever seen. So many injury time was called. And it’s so tough for umpires to umpire too. Those umpiring, you have my respect.

Watched Harry Potter with few of my best friends just now. Although I know the rough story line but there are details I don’t understand. Maybe I should read the book. But then I’ll have to read from the beginning since I’ve not read before.

I really got to sleep earlier tomorrow night.

Saturday, July 14, 2007

My love

So tired. Wanted to sleep early but now already two. Sharks!!!!!

Had fun playing basketball just now. Basketball is still my love. I shall do more of it. But can my knees take it? …………………

Friday, July 13, 2007

Had so many things on my mind but donno where to start.

Ok. About today. Work was ok. Then rushed to Kallang for umpire and also to see Kate about my test yesterday. We only manage to talk for like ten minutes and I have to go umpire. Will have to see her again some other time. Not sure if I had pass my test. Hope she didn’t fail me.
Then umpiring was a bit irritating. Haileyberry playing against Singapore nineteen’s. The angmo from Haileyberry was complaining again. Yup! Angmo is always like that. Please lah. Read your rule book. Did I complain about how you play? Don’t complain how I umpire ok.
After umpiring, went TP for my club training. I didn’t train but was there for the meeting afterward. Finally the line up for Pesta Sukan is out. Hopefully no one complain. It’s the committee’s decision.
Then dinner was awesome. We bought durian and I had like almost twenty seeds. And it’s the tiny tiny seed with loads of flesh one. Yummy! But now can’t sleep cause still stuffing.

I was so angry yesterday when my girls were late. Late some more want to complain. Kids nowadays. Really got no respect. Ask them to come at six but instead come at almost seven. I’ve told them to ask me if not sure how to come but no one ask. I really feel like giving up on them. No passion for netball. Not serious. Never listen to me. No confident. And always complain. I’m not going to care about them anymore since May is leaving too. I think my Saturdays are better off spent with some other schools or even just at East Coast roller blading or at Sentosa playing ultimate and volleyball.

Test

I think I failed my test. It was so messy when I coach just now.
Was waiting for my girls to come but they were so late. So I had to borrow players from Kelly for test.
Kate needs to rush off for appointment so I can only know the result tomorrow. And she says she needs to talk to me but no time. I think there must be a lot of things I didn’t do right. Ahrrr…

7 Deadly Sins

I've just taken a test on 7 Deadly Sins

Report:

KS, you're more sinful than the average person.

And it's affecting your life in ways you might not realize. For one thing, if you aren't careful, your drive to excel at all costs may ultimately be your downfall. Feeling good about your successes might be a gratifying way to acknowledge your work and position in life. Still, you, in particular, should beware of prioritizing your achievements above other things and using them as a way to feel superior to others.

If you continue to do so, you might find yourself jeopardizing the things that are most important to you.

How I scored in the 7 Sins:

Pride
8 of 10
Average test taker 6

Sloth
6 of 10
Average test taker 4

Lust
6 of 10
Average test taker 4

Envy
5 of 10
Average test taker 3

Wrath
5 of 10
Average test taker 4

Greed

Average test taker 5

Gluttony

Average test taker 4

Just back from East Coast Lagoon Hawker. Had like so much food for dinner. Really satisfying… Was there with my brother and sisters.
I’m so sleepy now, but gotta get ready for test tomorrow. Haven’t really got prepared yet. Hope it will turns out fine.
My brother going off home tomorrow. Sad!

Physio today almost killed me. Nope, not the exercise. Cause didn’t do any today except warm up cycling. After the warm up, the physiotherapist asked two NYP attachment students to teach me how to stretch. I’ve done all those stretches before but I let them teach me anyway. They showed me and I followed. After stretching was the killing massage. It’s so painful until now my muscles are still aching. Ouch!!!
My brother reached yesterday morning. But I didn’t get to see him until night time during dinner.

Went office to do some stuff before going coaching yesterday. There were only eight girls training because the rest went to dragon boat training. Played some games for warm up and then drills before half court game. Those that went for dragon boat came back just in time to catch div 1 game at Hougang Sports Hall. Gonna bring them watch the playoff again next week. I asked them to tell me what they’ve learned from watching before they can go off and some of them gave me really funny answers. Haha! But acceptable. As long as they’ve learned something.

I umpired very badly yesterday. Think I’m too tired. Low concentrations and bad runs.

After umpiring went for dinner at ClarkQuay with my brother, his gf and gf’s friend. The dinner was alright, but a bit expensive. We went to walk around the river bank after that. And then after one whole round walking the riverside, we went LauPaSat for supper. The Corn Peanut Ice was superb. With nata, jelly and atapchee at the bottom. Slurp…

Slept till one plus today. Had lunch and went Lido for movie. Seeing John McClane in action again was so cool. Best part was him taking down the chopper with his car. Cool!!!

Had dinner at Wisma before going Changi Airport. Rupa is off to Melbourne for studies. After seeing her into check in, she came out again with bunch of sweets for all the peoples sending her off. She took it from the check in counter. Yup! That’s her. Sweet in a unique way.

Physio tomorrow. Coaching test on Wednesday. Gotta get prepared.

Saturday, July 07, 2007

I'm hungry.

But no food can satisfy my hunger.

Friday, July 06, 2007

Played ultimate for training today. Now knee and ankle aching. No more ultimate on concrete ground please. Anyway, it was loads of fun. I think everyone enjoyed it very much.

NS had just confirmed with me today that my coaching test is on next Wednesday. Gotta get myself ready for it.

I seriously need more sleep. Good night!

Thursday, July 05, 2007

On mc today. Yup! Again… My stomac doesn’t feel very well in the morning. But after sleeping till two in the afternoon, it was much better.

But now, feels that there are lot of gas inside.

After seeing the doctor, I went to watch Transformer. It is quite nice. Next movie I wanna watch is Die Hard 4.

Went NYP for a game after the show. We only have seven players and NYP only got eight. But anyway, we had fun.

My brother and his gf visiting this weekend. I just can’t wait to see him. We’ll have our time together again.

Wednesday, July 04, 2007

Zenith comm meeting today after work. It was a fruitful session getting some stuff settled. And most of us stayed back to chit chat a while after discussing the club matters. It’s really nice to get to know more about peoples.

And I think I’ve really overcome the feeling inside of me. The feeling of disappointment and hate. I’ve learned to understand what is the big picture inside a coach’s mind, and also to accept that we are all human and not perfect.

It’s a process to grow. It might be hard and tough. But to get there, one has to experience it.

Monday, July 02, 2007

Dragged myself to work again today. Ahhrrrr… Work sucks!

Thought that I’m umpiring tonight but after asking NS, I’m not. Then in the evening, a friend asked me to replace her. So I’m umpiring again.
The guys having game at TP tonight, but I don’t really feel like playing. Now I got excuse not to go.

Went home after work, changed and cycled to KNC. Umpired with PeiSan. She’s having test. And the game was a little messy of the many unclean challenges. Testers came to talk to us during half time and we were more cautious after that.

NL is coming to an end. Saturday div one game and then play off next Saturday.

Continuing My Story

My story telling time continues.

Ok. Secondary school. I was actually a very quiet person. Till now, I still am. I like to listen more than talk. And because of this, teachers will always think that I’m a good student. And at that time, I seldom mix with girls in class. Sorry to say this but it’s true, I don’t even know some of the name of my girl classmates. And during my school times, my allowance is like only twenty thirty ringgit a month. I can’t remember how much but it was really little. So, I rarely have snacks or tidbits. And everyday, my mum will make us food to take to school. At least other students envy me for having such loving mother. Haha…

So after SPM (O level), I applied for TAR College and Poly. I went to TAR College at KL for like a month before I was accepted into Poly. And I choose to study at Poly because the school fees are way much cheaper. I have three hundred ringgit allowance monthly for my first sem at Poly. All sem one students are given to stay in school unless you gave it up. I manage to save up some money despite that the three hundred is for everything. I bought my first hand phone with my savings then. And during weekends, I would travel from Shah Alam to KL to be with my brother and sister which is studying at TAR College. I’ll usually travel for like two hours with train and also with bus before I have my motorbike at sem three. I study mechanical engineering and there are no girls at all in my class. So, for those three years at Poly I didn’t really get to mix around with girls at all.
Sem two. I no longer stay in school. I stay with some other Poly friends at a rented house near school. Most of them are my classmates and we would almost do everything together. At then, I have five hundred ringgit allowance because of rental. But I didn’t think I was poor at that time. Maybe I was pretty happy with my life then.
Time flies when I was in Poly. Life is so routine, school, basketball, and weekends with my brother.
I did my sem four attachment at my hometown. It’s so great to stay home for that half a year after one and a half year away. Everyone else like my sisters and brothers are not home, but staying home with mum and dad was good.
I started to play volleyball when I was in sem five. From not knowing how to play at all to being the main spiker in just two months. I joined volleyball because of my best friend in Poly. We were classmate, housemate and also basketball teammate. Because that he also play volleyball, he ask me to play too despite not knowing how. And so, we would train every evening for the interpoly coming in two months. My job then was mainly jumping as high as possible and hitting the ball into empty space on the other side. I was a fast ball spiker because of my elevation and time I have in the air. It’s smooth sailing throughout the tournament. We manage to beat all the opponents with straight sets even in the final. According to my friend’s record, I only miss two spikes. One was saved by the opponent and the other I spiked out of court, the rest was converted to points.
I continue to play volleyball in Sem six and manage to get into Selangor team as a substitute player. That was only for one tournament before I graduate and have to return home. Though coach has asked me to train with the team but I couldn’t stay. How I really wish I can…
It was a tiring day yesterday. I was late for coaching in the morning. A new sec three girl came to join us. Her name is Mavis. She did quite alright for a first timer. Hope she stays in the team. Training was delayed and ended at twelve thirty noon. I’m so hungry.

We went to eat together after that. And then umpire at Hougang. None of the girls came to watch the game even though it’s so near by. Umpired two games today. Hougang is a better place to umpire despite the poor ventilation. The lightings, sprung wood floor, the echo of my whistle and calls, space for umpiring runs, and without distraction of other courts. It’s much better comparing to KNC.

After umpiring, I was suppose to go to a farewell party but tried to get a cab for thirty minutes and couldn’t get one. Decide not to go because of the distance and also was so late.

So I went Hougang mall to do some shopping instead. Wanted to buy a watch I saw on display many times I was there, but in the end I didn’t buy. I shouldn’t be spending so much money. But then, I bought myself a pair of Nike basketball shoe. I actually had been wanted to buy but couldn’t. No size last time. And on Friday also no size for the white colour one and the staffs can’t find the stock for the other colour. Is shopping a therapy? I’m so happy after getting the shoe.

Took bus from the wrong direction home and end up at Sengkang. I was so hungry so went to eat at the food court. The beef rice was really good and satisfying. Slurp!! Yummy…

Sunday. Should I go out to watch movie? Hmmm… maybe not. Go watch on Wednesday instead.
