Umpired at NUS for the South zone today. After umpiring the first game then I know that it was a crucial game. Didn’t really do very well positioning myself because of my aching knee and ankle. After that, umpired a one sided game with sixty goal difference. My positioning was even worst. Because of the court condition, I was so close to the umpire on the next court.
After umpiring, went indoor stadium for Slingers game with Weide. It was quite exciting watching professional Basketball with its many stunts on court.

Ouch!!! My ankle is in pain.
Before coaching today at school I twisted my ankle. The crack sound was felt and I thought it’s gone. Yes the one I injured like less then two weeks ago. Another suey day! I was looking for the canteen to buy some stuff to eat and it happened. Didn’t see the small step in front of me. Ahrrrr… But then, after a while it’s better. Still a little painful though.
After coaching, went Sports School for my girls’ game. They got trashed. Passes were thrown away everywhere. Drives were not strong and a lot of hesitation in the process. What a mess.
Then after the game, went RP to play netball. Yup! With an injured ankle. Just say that I’m crazy to play. The game was alright. Played GD, GK and C. I like the most when I play centre. I felt that I can actually do more for the team.
Iced my ankle and knees just now. Hope it gets better tomorrow. Need it to umpire tomorrow night.

What a day.
Daisy Tan 2nd round today. Played in the morning and umpired in the afternoon.
We got 2nd today. Lost to Zeal twice. From the winner pool to the loser pool, and then into the final. Wasn’t really playing the way I usually play today. I love to run around defenders more and link up passes even as a shooter. Anyway, it’s still a good try on blocking and getting short fast lobs. The better team wins. I can say that Zeal is indeed the better team today.
Umpiring was pretty stress. It was very competitive netballing in the opens category. Two of the games I umpired are only with one goal difference and another two with two goals difference. Long time didn’t do such high level games.
“Singlemanship wins a race; Teamwork wins championship”
We don’t need individualism in Netball, we need to be a team to play Netball.

I’m so bored.
It’s such a grey day today. Everything seems so moody.
Yesterday after coaching rushed to my c girls’ game. Another close game lost. Ahrrrrr… Why is this happening to my team all the time?
Went club training together with Sylvia and Eric after that. Another boring training session. Feel that it’s a waste of time sometimes. But at least there are some useful pair ball work learned.
Chompang Nasi Lemak with Eric and Pam after training. Crunchy chicken wing. Yummy!!!
Couldn’t really sleep last night. Only turn in at five in the morning. But then, was waken up by a sms around nine. I got up, had breakfast and went to bed around eleven. Again, sms woke me up. I tried to sleep but had to get up at one to go for coaching.
It was bad coaching I did today. I was lifeless and the girls were out of control many times. Usually, I’m able to get their attention with my whistle but I was not allowed to use because there’s basketball game going on. I gotta find a way to be more effective.

I hate this.
I’m speechless.
I don’t think I can take it if it happens again.
It’s so close.
It’s too close.
I can still feel the heartache.
I still hear the words I’ve said.
Things that I’ve yell at.
I feel that time had stopped.
Stopped at when it hurts the most.
I’m still at that moment where it all ended.
No.
I have to get up.
I need to get up.
I have to put back the pieces of my heart.
There are so much more to do.

Ouch!!! My knee ache. My right ankle too. Ahrrr…
Went NUS to play some netball today. It has been a very long time since I last went. I think it was like two months ago. Like usual, I had lots of fun playing there.
When I reach the court at NUS today, a student asked me if I’ve went HongKong to play netball last month. I was surprised. She explained that she’s an exchange student from HongKong and saw me played last month. This world is just so small isn’t it? Her name is Catherine and is her first time joining the recre netball at NUS. She played together with us for a few quarters and before I manage to get her contacts, she’s gone. Guess I’ll just have to ask for her contacts next time.
Coaching today was tiring. Can anyone teach me how can I deal with kids??? They are really pushing their limits to test my patience.

Back from coaching. I have only one and a half month to get them ready for tournament. I’m seriously running out of time. How? I’m still stuck at footwork. Maybe I should just concentrate on the few that’s better at it.
Before and after coaching, I went to meet up with Hougang girls. They have match today but I couldn’t be there. They lost by quite a big margin. Anyway, I hope they learn from their mistakes and improve themselves for the coming games.
Hougang JiaYou!!!

Oh man!!! I slept the whole Sunday away. Now can’t really sleep already.
Did some coaching yesterday morning cause the girls wanted to train. I think it was quite good. Manage to talk to the girls about what I think after the game on Friday.
Then went for Zenith AGM. New president and vice president. Hope with new leadership now, we are able to progress forward.

I felt like crying today. I really do. But I have to put up a strong front. To show that we’ll carry on the journey no matter what’s ahead.
It was a close game. Very close indeed. I know everyone have done their best. Pushing the limit and giving more then you’ve ever done. I understand. I do. I’m sorry for shouting so loud. I’m sorry if I’ve got myself too emotional. This is my game too. I hope you understand. I want to win as much as you do. I really do.
What can I ask from you? I can only ask from myself. For myself to pick up the pieces and put it back together. I’ll do my best. I’m doing my best. If it’s not enough, I’ll push myself over the limit for you. Yes. It’s for you Hougang.
