Basketball training was cancelled today. Most people can’t turn up I guess. Only one more month to competition. I’m starting to feel the pressure now. Gotta be at my top condition in September. We had a friendly game last Saturday and it was our third time playing Bukit Batok. First two games we lost, but we won last Saturday. It was really a sweet win.

Because there is no coaching, I was in office the whole day these two days. It was a little boring.

I think I’m harsh on my players today.
I hate being like this.
Being someone I’m not.
But then, tell me how I can have more discipline players?

I’m going to be very random in this post.

Was having trouble looking for umpire today. Why? Zenith is playing in Pesta Sukan tomorrow and I thought I can umpire for Zenith but then I got coaching and Basketball game. So, I was looking for replacement and it is so much trouble. I just hate rejections. Finally few hours ago, a kind soul out there is willing to help me. Thank God!!!

Talking about Pesta Sukan. Three of my girls pulled out today after I’ve registered them. Although they have their reasons and I’ve accepted it. I just can’t help being angry every time I think of it. I’ve rejected peoples to put them in and this happened. Although they are not Zenith members, at least I’m sure they have more passion for netball. Should have just registered them instead. And today I’ve asked my secondary school girls to replace and no one responded. Are they shy or what? I just don’t know what they are thinking.

It’s really slow coaching today. Don’t see much improvement. I hate myself for being so nagging. Repeating again and again on the basics every training. Telling them what to take note, what to watch for and helping one another. I think it has been half a year and we are still stuck at basic passes, catches and footwork. Inconsistent trainings and I’ll have to remind them every time after a break. Can I coach a team that’s more competitive? A team that really want to improve and have high expectations. Hope the interview next week is good. Then I can move on.

I’m bored of Singapore. Peoples here especially. Bad service attitude everywhere. In shops, restaurants, malls… Many arrogant and selfish people as well. It’s really hard to find nice people in Singapore. And I’ve learned to cherish them even more. I think after staying here for six years, I’ve learned more bad than good. People that knows me long enough can tell. How I wish to find a better place to live in.

Ok. Need to pack my stuffs for tomorrow. Umpiring, coaching and friendly game. Need lots of energy tomorrow.

Club training today was really fun. Long time didn’t train. It was raining and we were able to use the indoor court till ten thirty. Love the sprung wood floor. Cushioned runs and landing. I ran and jumped a lot today.

Coaching was not very efficient today. The girls weren’t really doing what I want them to do. Gotta think of a better way of meeting the time limit, getting the ideas across, and seeing the girls do it. Need to be more efficient. Only two more sessions before they go for a carnival.

If you are wondering why I didn’t post more photos of the HK trip. It’s because I have problems uploading them. Blogger just don’t want them.

Umpired my last game for NL today. It was delayed because of umpire problem again. This had been happening lately. Why??? Sometimes I think I should just be like the rest. Why should I help? I missed so many Zenith games to be here.

Going Hong Kong tomorrow to umpire Asian Youth Championship. But why am I dreading? Not excited at all. Just hope that I can enjoy the time there.

Work has been tiring lately. Going office in the morning for paperwork, planning programmes and helping with company projects, coaching after lunch in the afternoon, and umpiring at night. It’s really draining.

And this question came back to me again. ‘What do I want to do for the rest of my life?’ Finding the purpose of life. A question I have constantly searching for an answer but still can’t find it.

Your smile makes my day today :)

I had been struggling with umpiring these few days.
Hate it!!!
Think I'm doing too much of it.
