I don’t know what to write about in my blog.

About Olympic?
How US beat Russia and then Brazil to get Gold in Volleyball? Or how US had the closest game with Spain in the Basketball final? Or about this Jamaican getting Gold medals in 9.69, 19.3 and 37.1 seconds? Or how in 8 days, 7 WR and an OR were broken, and getting 8 gold medals in a single Olympic?
I think it’s old news.

Or about what I’ve been doing?
Had an all guys Netball friendly game last week with some kiwis. And then a game with the opens on Sunday morning where we’ve lost. Coaching was alright last week. But I think I’m starting to slack. And spending a lot of time in front of the tv with Olympic actions.
Boring isn’t it?

Ok. Maybe I should write different things next time. Any ideas?





I’m sad too. Be strong!!!

Did you watch them in the Olympic?

Work was good these few days. I enjoyed it. Although there are not a lot of improvements from the girls, I still have to say I love coaching. I don’t want to think too much now. I just want to do what I like and be happy with the little satisfaction I get.

There’s a saying I really like ''Don’t worry, be happy''.

How I wish to be younger. Why? After a few days of rest and still feeling tired and aching tell you why. I’m really getting old. I’m physically struggling to keep up with my lifestyle.

Why don’t I have bigger dreams when I was younger? Why didn’t I start younger? Why aren’t there more opportunities for me? I could have achieved more. I envy people receiving medal.

Hate it when I can’t play well in basketball. ‘Coach’ Can you stop yelling? I’m feeling bad enough already. What do you want me do when what I see is lost faces? I gotta do something when they are not doing anything. I hate the position I play.

Netball training was another disappointment. Only seven of us on Monday and that’s including me. I’m not even the one playing in PestaSukan. It has been like this for the last three trainings. Everyone is just so busy. Guess I’m the one without a life.

I think I’m going into depression. Why? Thinking of certain things. Future, what to do and all. Past, have I made the right decision? I’m thinking of it so much that I’m not sure if what I do now is what I want anymore. If this is not what I want, what is?

Anyway, life goes on. Just the matter of happier or sadder that’s all.

Coaching this week was ok.
Tuesday at Hougang. Last training with them was a month ago.
Wednesday at Coral. It has been a month too. The girls were really cute with what they do.
Thursday at Rosyth. Good improvements. And the rain poured down just after training.
Went to Hougang after that. It was raining and we trained in the hall. Injuries. Steph sprained her ankle again. Hope she’s better now. And Joy injured her toe.

Only six of us at club training last night. And the rain didn’t really stop. It was unproductive.

I need more sleep.
Was waking up pretty early since last Monday. Umpired 3 days of carnival last week and it was really tiring. Basketball yesterday wasn’t really that fun. Coaching today wasn’t good too. Just don’t feel like coaching those girls anymore with their attitudes. Hope I can have a better school to coach. Zenith training tonight was quite alright. Although only seven of us, we manage to have friendly game with Team Temasek. Lucky they have training too.

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.
