Merdeka.

Happy 50th Birthday Malaysia!!

Enjoy the video.

Had just received an email from my coach saying this year end club activity is Standard Cart Marathon. Sharks!! Running… Lucky only need to do the ten k one.

Went shopping after work today. Bought a book, contacts saline, tissues and new briefs. Wanted to do it yesterday but was too tired.

Ahhrrr… Boring life.

Okok. I shall make it more interesting. Hmmm… What can I do?

Took a Personality test today and here's what it says about me.

Your Personality Type: The Critic

How You Approach Life
You are a Critic in the best sense of the word. You analyze, interpret and evaluate the issues and people in your world. And you do so in a way that is much more earnest than most. That's probably because you have an almost superhuman sensitivity to activities around you. Things that go unnoticed by most might rock you like an earthquake. Sure this might feel unsettling at times, but you turn it into a positive. You can see details that others pass by.

You place, or should place, a particularly high value on structuring your environment. Why waste time with chaos and disorganization when all it does is stress people out and make them uncomfortable? For you, it makes much more sense to lead an ordered and predictable life. The efficiency of living that way will free up more time to do the things you enjoy most. This is important when one of the things that matters most to you is success.

You are highly motivated to succeed, and want it to show. How else will people notice your accomplishments if you don't project that image with whatever you've got — your home, your car, your wardrobe, your job? There's always room for self-improvement in your book, and that's not something everybody is willing to admit. You never stop trying to be the best, or have the best, that life can offer. And that shows in your charge to make it big and cash in on the rewards.

Aside from your drive, the truth is you have a very gentle, perceptive spirit. People might fault you for your particularly discerning eye, but that attitude might just stem from their own insecurities about what you see. You're complex and thoughtful, and you feel obligated to judge both by appearance, and by what you see below the surface.

Chances are, you hate arguing and other tense situations — especially when they arise at work. But ultimately, everyone notices your motivation and talent. You're an original thinker, and people will respect your judgments once they get to know you.

Keep at it, Critic. The world is a more discerning place thanks to you.


Section II — What makes you a Critic?

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types — your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type.

In your case, Critic, your two sub-types are Thinker and Success. Your primary sub-type is defined by "Thinker" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Success" characteristics.

Your primary type is Thinker
Like other people with Thinker characteristics you are extremely sensitive to external stimuli. You tend to be extraordinarily aware of your surroundings — responding emotionally to small changes that others might not even notice. To combat feeling overwhelmed, you may like to move a bit more slowly and seek out calm environments that won't stress you out.

Intellectually, you like to dig deep into a problem to solve it — even when others grow impatient and move on to other subjects. As far as entertainment goes, you gravitate toward media that is sentimental and peaceful — you like feel-good stories. You are more likely than others to be interested in books, inspirational media, self-improvement and arts and crafts.

If there is a change in the air, Thinker, nobody is more aware of it than you. You have an unusually refined sensitivity to subtle changes in your environment and from time to time, this can manifest as a fear that the worst is going to happen. You may have a tendency to be constantly on guard because you ultimately are working to prevent a perceived catastrophe from happening.

Your secondary type is Success
People with Success characteristics are generally driven by achievement and recognition of their talents. They are motivated to work hard to have nice things. They also feel to some degree that their possessions reflect their hard work which is something to be proud of. They are compelled to excellence by a number of factors and they strive to climb whatever ladders come their way — whether corporate or social. To succeed and make a good impression on others, these Success people are focused on the external appearance of how they look. They sometimes see it as an indicator of their internal value.

Intellectually, Success people are goal-driven. They tend to focus on the end results more than the process that gets them through an issue. In terms of entertainment, Successes enjoy media that is sensual, sexy, flashy and loud. They tend to avoid media that is too introspective or sentimental. They like to shop for anything from clothes to cars. They enjoy reading magazines and are usually interested in their physical and mental health.

So full now. Ate so much. Had ChuChaThang with rice for dinner after netball at NUS. And there was a Pasar malam at Clementi and Shumin bought some keropok for all of us to eat together. And then she gave me some of her ChuChaTang cause she can’t finish. Also ate a slice of very rich chocolate cake at NUS cause they were celebrating JiaLong’s birthday. And then eat again at home cause sis had cook dinner. So so full now.

Ok. Eating aside. Finally finish the book I was reading today. Rich dad poor dad. Going to continue read his work. Very inspiring and useful tips on financial.

Two and a half weeks more to freedom. Haha!! Think I’ll be coaching fulltime for a while. Maybe can take up short courses in this period and also cultivate my reading habit.

Aches… Ahhrrrr… My ankles, knees…

Went Botanical garden for picnic today and Singapore Chinese Orchestra was performing there. Great music, good food, lying on the grass looking at the evening sky. Few hours out of worries of life.

I’m having a headache now. Not those with problems but the physical one. Think I smoked too much today.

Such a relief that Netballuxion is over now. Although short of umpires, we manage to pull through. Thank you so so much Amy, Kelly and Nigel.

Sorry girls. Couldn’t be with you all a lot today. I’m proud of you all having the spirits to play hard. We’ll play in more tournaments in future ok. Thanks for the cards too. Very touching.

After umpiring today, few of us went Swensens to eat. Slurp!! Love the ice cream.

So so tired now…

I'm gonna be so dead tomorrow. Still short of umpires for Netballuxion. Haiz...

Thanks for those that help me. Really appreciate it.

Umpired opens training game just now. KS you need to work harder. Open your eyes bigger ok. Did a very challenging two balls game in the last quarter. It's really an eye opener. Helps to widen my vision so much.

Ok. Gotta sleep now. Hope everything turns out well tomorrow.

Went training today but didn’t train. So not in the mood and tired.

Was planning to go home after work, but when I reach the bus stop decided to go training instead.

Discuss about club mixed carnival after training. Really don’t want it to be cancel. I’m not a quitter.

Ok. Must turn it into motivation.

Still looking for Netballuxion umpires. Damn!! Only two more days.
I’ve tried all the umpires I know. Aahhhhrrrrrr…

Ok ok. Calm down. Things will work out. Think of what you can do KS.

Girls. Jia You in Netballuxion ok.

Semua ini hanyalah mimpi.

Sing bangun... bangun... Masa ke sekolah.

'How I wish'

Went to check out ASEAN schools final result. Singapore lost 50 - 35 to Malaysia.

Met my buddy Jack during lunch today. Such coincident.

Went NUS after work to play some recre netball. It was really fun. Playing purely to enjoy. We laugh at each other, trick one another, and also help the newbies how to play. I played none stop from seven to nine thirty. All four courts were packed with peoples. Tired but fun.

I’m still looking for umpires to umpire Netballuxion. Please help if you are free.

Icing my knee, drinking milk and munching chips now.

Had a basketball friendly today. And Yay!!! We won by four points. Haha!!
But I played terrible. Sucks man!! Missing so many passes, ball was striped away so many times, and missing shots I shouldn’t. Really donno why my hands were shaking during the game today. Am I nervous? But my mind was quite calm. Ahrrr… But WTH. We won. Haha…

Went to watch ASEAN schools game today. Before that had lunch at Fork & Spoon. Yummy GaoChap. Nice beef… Ok. About the game. Singapore lost by four goals to Malaysia. Ya. I support Singapore although I’m a Malaysian. I even wore red and white for them. But they lost. Hiaz… Must win tomorrow ok. Finals at twelve thirty noon. Wah Lao!! Who can go watch? Peoples working and schooling lah… Anyway, Go Singapore…

After the game, since I have time to kill before friendly, I went to watch a movie alone. Yup! Alone. Ke lian hor… Haiz… Spent seventeen bucks on it. Did I mention I need to cut down my spending? Ok. Gotta be discipline.

I hate Mondays.

Went to office late today. But manage to rush and finish the stuff before one thirty.

Head to school and reach Hougang at two. So went to eat at point. JiaoZi noodle. I like the dumplings. Nice...

Reach school at two thirty but no one was there only Ms Ong. Then saw Mavis in the canteen. Sucks!! I wonder how much the girls like natball actually. Don't have high hopes for them now.

Some of them came back from DB at three plus. All soake and wet. Was thinking maybe can go watch ASEAN schools game at five but none wanted to go except Claria. Well, in the end I didn't go too. Tomorrow then go watch Singapore Malaysia game.

DB, is it that fun? Or is it because it's outside school that makes the enjoyment? But I hope the girls will put netball as priority. Without commitment and passion, lets not talk about result.

Netballuxion next week. Hope they can see how good they are. Or maybe how bad. That'll ignite or maybe diminish their will to play netball. I really don't want to waste my time and energy.

Didn’t go watch ASEAN schools today. Worked till almost seven. Was home after that and donno what to do. Working again tomorrow. Hope I can finish the things I need to do. Hmmm… Why am I worrying about work ar? Guess I’m really bored…

Think about so many things today.

Went to check out how to start a company on the web this morning. But don’t think I can do that yet. Need a good business plan.

Thought of coaching full time. But is it viable?

So many things I need to do now. Zenith carnival stuffs. Don’t really feel like getting it done actually. Super sianzz…

Need to find umpires for Netballuxion. Only got one now, plus me two. Ahrrrr… Need at least five more. Help me please!!!

I’ll be going back home for a while in October and November. Hope I can learn something from my dad while helping him with his business. At the mean time read more about money making, and also catch up with mum, dad and bro. Looking forward to it :-)

But I’ll have to leave things in Singapore. Girls, take care of yourselves ok. Get fit while I’m away.

Late for work as usual today. TGIF Yay!!!

Body aches man... Especially calfs and knee.

It's really rare that I can still remember the dream I had last night. What's happening? Her face keep poping up in my mind. Ahrrr...

My girls are so guai today. Ask them to come watch game they did. But most of the time I saw them using their phone talking and msging. Opps… I was supposed to be umpiring.

Yup! It was tough umpiring opens game. So fast. Run like hell. Position, reposition, position, reposition. But still, I guess I missed out so many things again. Position earlier KS. Read the game. Ya… I’m trying to. Hmmm… The key is where to position? Which angle? And my feet don’t want to move sometimes.

Asean School starting tomorrow. But only can watch after work. Should I bring the girls to watch on Saturday? Singapore playing at five. Sunday at three. Monday can’t watch at all. Work. Haiz…

Okok...

My job is actually not that bad lah. Just that it's extremely boring and very routine. And the result is much because of the current mood I have now. Just can't wait for Sept 15th.

Hey. I've just took a test on 'Is Work Wearing You Out?'

Here's how I score.

KS, you're 15% satisfied at work.

That means other people are considerably more happy with their jobs than you are. To put it simply, your current job is not meeting your needs and desires of what you hope to get out of a job. You might get some satisfaction from the social atmosphere at work. But the thing dragging you down most is leadership opportunities. Showing you these extremes — what makes you happiest and most frustrated at work — is just one way to help you see what's working for you and what isn't when it comes to your job. Just remember, there are 6 additional dimensions that also can add to, or detract from your working experience, too. You may find that, like so many others, how happy you are with your job fluctuates a good deal. One month, you may feel content in your position, only to find yourself feeling miserable the next. Becoming aware of all 8 components of Job Satisfaction is a great first step towards determining what you really want from your job. In this section, you'll discover how important each factor of job satisfaction is to you personally, and then how well your current job meets your needs. The chart below shows how you scored on all 8 of the dimensions that help determine your overall job satisfaction score. They're arranged in order from things that could use improvement, to things you like more about your job. Understanding how you feel about each of the dimensions will give you insight into the full picture of your job satisfaction, and offer you specific steps for what you can do to improve your work life!

Damn… Smoking hell lot lately. Really need to cut down.

Feel like going to fall sick. Sore trout, cough, runny nose… Need to sleep early today.

Time to think about life. Make money. Take the risk… Learn the life lessons. WTF… I wish I can take the step. Have a plan.

What really matters? I donno.

What matters to me most? I ask myself and can’t find an answer. So? I guess nothing matters actually. I can lose everything and still be the same as I am now. And so, why am I not doing anything?

‘Change’ September 15th. After that, life will be anything I want it to be. I can do anything I want.

Ok. It’s time I learn something. Explore… I will go explore life and learn things from peoples around me.

Went NUS to play netball today. It’s also the welcome tea day for the recre netball. So many peoples were there. Played and had so much fun. But now with an aching shoulder and knee.

I gave my boss the envelop today. Last day fifteen Septamber.

I donno what to do yet.
Should I study?
Should I find another job?
Or should I just enjoy life?
But definitely, I’ll have to cut down my spending.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I’m so dead…

Umpired till three plus because of the rain. And I didn’t umpire well during the final. What a game. Nike won.

Went Marina to eat. A HK style restaurant. The food was nice. Juicy CharSiew noodle and YunYong.

I was bad in offence during basketball today. Really so off form.

Monday again tomorrow. Sucks…

Cabbed to school this morning cause woke up late. But I wasn’t late to school. Haha…

Ran with the girls to Amk and back. Siong!!! Was icing my knee after shower just now but the swelling didn’t go down. Shit…

Girls. JiaYou… Next time beat me ok.

So tired. Tomorrow umpiring Pesta Sukan and after that basketball.

Back from 511 for supper. Liver MiSua and BakChoMe. So nice…

Ok. This is what happened at Streetz. I had six basketball games but only played three. Fist one at six lost to the team that got Champ. Second one eight plus was quite an easy win. After that the guys and I went to watch Rush Hour 3. Third one at twelve plus was a draw. It was pretty rough. Almost got into a fight with the other team on court, but we were cool after that. After much waiting, game at four plus was a walkover to us. Then wait again till six plus for game five but it rains just before the game starts. The guys decided to go home instead of waiting for the rain to stop so didn’t go into second round. But I was there for mixed netball.

Waited till eleven plus for our first game where it should be at nine thirty. We won by only one goal against NYP twists. Haha… Revenge for Pesta. Then other games was easy except the last game in round one against F&B. I’ve tried my best but we lost six to two. Can tell from the picture below lah. Then Nothing vs Everything and Everything won. The fight for third we lost too. So end up Nothing got nothing except goodie bags.

Anyway, it was good experience, good company, good knowing Suntec better, good to know that I can stay up thirty three hours without sleep, and good night!!!

Tired... Still so tired today after about twelve hours of sleep. Work is so boring...

Tomorrow coaching early in the morning. Morning run. Ahhhhrrrr...... ''I'm not the one need to train up stamina.'' Ok ok... For the girls sake.

Damn!!! Can't clean off the stick on tattoos.

I survived.

33 hours without sleep. Finally got my bed. Post about Streetz tomorrow.

ZZZzzzzzz.......

Damn it. Woke up by a call from someone trying to sell me stuff.

The game with 21s was fun yesterday. But my stamina sucks. The only time I'm not breathing so hard is when I play GS. And during the last quarter I play GD, I nearly pengsan. Anyone know CPR? Stand by ok...

Body aches again now. Ahrrrrrr..... I feel so old.

I'm quiting my job. Told my boss yesterday. Hope I can find something I like to do.

82.7%

Yup! From the three quarters I shoot today, I hit 82.7%, 24 out of 29 attempts. Haha!!! I wanna shoot above 90% the next game.

Hope I can shoot basketball well tomorrow. I’m so gonna be dead. Play ball for twenty four hours. Definitely need lots of coffee and cig.

Yes. I have decided.
Not gonna sit on the fence being neither here nor there anymore.
I will be a free man soon.

Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd

Ahrrr… Why no double knock out in second round. I’m so confident if we play NYP twist again we’ll definitely beat them. It was so close in the first round game with them, lost by one goal. One goal only!!!!

Zenith!! Go Zenith!!!

So tired… Aching everywhere now.

Monday tomorrow. Blue blue blue…

But only working three days. Haha… It’s gonna be so exciting. Tuesday, game with U21. Wednesday, Thursday, Streetz basketball and netball. Saturday, coaching. Going morning jog to AngMoKio and back. Sunday, donno what to do yet, maybe go play basketball. Fun!!!

Good morning!!

Pesta sukan later. Current mood is very different from last week. I'm out to kill today. We'll be the champion!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had just showered after reaching home.

Was at school for my girls friendly. We tied seventeen all with Serangoon. I thought we can easily beat them but I guess I was wrong. Many injuries too. So messy. Umpires were bad, players were injured, and the girls under performed. They were so nervures. They really need more game to tune themselves to take game normal.

Anyway, it’s great seeing the girls today. Miss them after two weeks didn’t see them actually. After the friendly, we played games. I played too. Haha… Then late lunch at Point was funny. They were trying to teas me with my Malaysian ascent.

Didn’t bring sun cream today and got a little burned. Will be another day under the sun tomorrow. Hot hot hot…

Wanted to go watch Intercon today but after shower really don’t feel like going out anymore. So lazy…

Yup! I’m so late for work today. Anyway, it doesn’t matter.
My colleagues and I went TaoPayoh for lunch. The rojak at HDB hub food court is really yummy!

Received Streetz Basketball fixtures today. First game at six and last game at nine the next morning. Then after that Mixed Streetz Netball that morning and afternoon. First netball game clashes with last basketball game. Ahrr... Hope the basketball game will end earlier that day. And if get into second round in basketball, I think will need to say bye bye to netball. Haha…

Why eye BIG BIG right now?

I gonna be so late for work again tomorrow.

Training was great today. Although only get to play two quarters with my team but I think we did alright. Manage to work something out at least. Aim to go second round on Sunday.

Had just sent out some Streetz Netball stuffs to the ladies, but I’m still not sure which team am I in the mixed. Hope it doesn’t clash timing with the Streetz Basketball.

I’m so bored.
I really need something new in life now. Last night, I suddenly thought of leaving Singapore to Hong Kong maybe. Just wanna try something new. Maybe can spend a few years there too like what I’ve done in Singapore. I know language is not a barrier to me. And maybe I can even start a Netball club there. Haha… Having that thought is just so exciting.
But well… Only just thinking.

Wan Ton! Wan Ton!

I think I’ve made enough to start a Wan Ton stall today. Haha…
Wasn’t feeling very well. Runny nose, itchy trout and coughing.
Shit!!! Viruses, bacteria’s, go away…

Cycled to KNC tonight.
Went to watch the open squad training hopping to learn a thing or two.
The nineteen’s were there training together as well.
And so, there were more than twenty players at court one doing different drills.
The drills were mainly about offering and keeping it at the ball side.
It was great seeing the progressions and the variety of drills can be used.
A fruitful trip for me. Learned some stuff today. Haha…
And PeiQing injured herself during training.
Hope she’s alright.
