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.

I'm hungry.

But no food can satisfy my hunger.

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!

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.

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.

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.
