My Hougang girls cried after their game yesterday. I'm really heart broken. I felt that I've disappoint her more than her own disappointment. I've failed to get them ready for the tournament. I've failed to keep the team together. Many quited near the tournament. I've failed so so much. What can I do? The damage is there. One more training before the last game. What should I do? How?

Wednesday morning was another disappointment. My Coral girls played against their seniors and was totally lost in the game. They don't even know what they need to do at all. What happened??? Only a few more weeks to their tournament and they play like this. Ahhrrr...

Training today was alot better with a different approach. At least they've shown me that they can play and know what they need to do on court. Hope they don't forget it.

Go Support NSL!!!

What you did on Vday?
I earned 120 bucks from umpiring and went home after to avoid the crowd. Roses, couples...

Umpired again today. Went home and went out again after. Got a wall fan for the empty wall I had for weeks. Was a bit hot these few days. The wind had stopped blowing suddenly. I've also got a Coleman termo water bottle while shopping. It's definately gonna be useful for hot days.

Looking at my schedule, more busy weeks ahead.

I better give my blog CPR before it dies.

Hi everyone. I came back to Singapore last night. Went home for CNY and it was ok. A bit bored at home actually. Nothing much to do except eat, drink, sleep and watch tv. I planned to train up my stamina but didn't do any runs at all. I'll definately struggle umpiring NSL. Ahhh..... And it's starting end of this month. Ahhhhhh..... x1000. So scary. And there's another beep test for umpires next week. Ahhhhhhhhh.....

It's already February now. Time is flying faster than superman... When I was home, I went to my secondary school classmate's wedding dinner. Get to see so many of my old friends. Many had married and have a family. Time really flies... Seeing them having a partner, having kids, so happy.

I'm paying alot of attention to kids recently. I donno why. I just love playing with them. Yesterday morning before I came back, I was playing with 'Ru Ru', the child my mum is taking care of for every Sunday. It was really fun. She likes to ask questions and talk alot. And full of imaginations when she play with her toys. But too bad I had to leave before noon. Couldn't spend more time with her.

Took SQ back last night. Was so tired but didn't sleep on the plane. Some funny things happened. At least I think it's funny. After landing and immediately after seatbealt sign was off, everyone got up and hurried with their luggages. Standing like ten minutes before they get to move off the plane. Why are they doing this? I was just sitting there, waiting for the crowd to clear, get my backpack and move off. Went to the toilet after that and saw everyone queing at the immigration counter. And when I was at the counter, no que already. The crowd is now at the lugguage belt. I went to the other end where there's less crowd while most of them are still waiting and I think the lugguge had just came out. So lucky, immediately after I stop walking, I saw my luggage. I was the first few out of the arrival hall. Funny isn't it. Why are people so KiaSu?

Today was a long day. Went to school at eleven in the morning to meet my girls to go RP together for their game at one. They lost. No surprise. Umpired two games after that till five. Then went NUS to umpire their IHG game and then to CCAB for coaching. So tiring... I think I better sleep now.

I've just finished a pack of Raffles chips and a bottle of Carbenet Sauvignon. I love chips and a good drink.

Was umpiring IVP today. NTU vs TP. A really close game and it was so fun to umpire. I think some people will think I'm crazy but I love umpiring challenging games. Give a satisfactory felling when you umpire it well. For the game today, I think I've made a few mistakes but overall I did ok. Just hope Monday I can do better.

The other day after my P3 selection I went searching for a laptop. Found a few good ones but a bit over budget. After that at home, I tried to on my old problem laptop again and it function well. Haha!! 5 days now and It's still working well. I think it know I'm replacing it. Anyway, if it's going to still work well, I'm not going to buy a new one. Want to save some money for Perth trip this year. Really looking forward to it. Going together with my club and having fun together with games and some sight seeing and shooping. We have oversea trip every year. We went KL last month. Not many people went but it was fun. Played 3 games with the guys there and did some shopping and also had great food. I still love Malaysia food more than here. It's just tastier I don't know why.

It's so windy these few days. My fan broke last week and I still haven't get a new one. I think I don't need a new one. But it's weird having an empty wall without a fan but with the wiring there.

Coaching wasn't going well these few days. So many people didn't come training. And I'm having so many injured players. And some C div players quit. So sad!!! B div only 8 players and C div only 7. Please tell me what should I do??? Just hope my 2 clubs can recharge my passion for netball this period.

I'm so bored these few days at home. Got nothing to do most of the time. Please get me busy...

I always have alot of things in mind that I wanted to post, but when I click and came here, I'm all blank.

Yesterday was DaisyTan schools and my school was playing in the morning. I know that the turn out will be bad but still, I can't help feeling disappointed again. Only 10 of them turn up, B and C div all together. This have helped me made a decission. I will stand firm to it.

After saying that, I think I might give in again. I'm just too soft hearted.

I was umpiring after that in the afternoon. My concentration level was pretty bad. Just can't seems to umpire well. Not that I umpired badly, but just feeling I'm missing things on court.

I was at home the whole day today. Wanted to do things but didn't do in the end. So lazy...

Happy New Year :)

Haven't been updating for a while. Just can't believe that it's 2009 already. Time really flies. I went home for a few days and had just came back today. Didn't do much at home. My mum was not around until the day before yesterday. My dad went outstation two days after I went home. My sis came back home to use the toilet and left with her busy plans for New Year celebration. My other sis came back for two days. And most of the time I was at home with my brother watching tv. Of course, he do most of his work at home too. Yesterday was great. Mum cooked for me lunch and dinner. It was yummy! And I was able to do some shopping. Haha! And my brother, his wife, mum and sis sent me off to the bus last night. It was touching...

Bye bye 2008... How did I spent the year? I think overall it is a good year for me. The biggest change was going into coaching full time. Struggle financially but still surviving now. I was able to get my NCAP Level 2 theory, but failed NCAP Level 1 technical twice. Coached a few schools short term and also having some that is still with me now. I was able to explore coaching people at different age and also skill levels, mostly at the beginner level. I think it's good for me to gain more experience. Umpiring has been mostly good. I was able to umpire NSL, get B badge, was sent to Hong Kong to umpire Asian Youth Champ. I think these are good achievements.

Really hope that 2009 will be an even better year to me. Coaching, umpiring, and also other areas too. Still thinking about things I should aim for. Will put it up soon.

I had another hair cut today, it's even shorter now. Don't really like it :(

It's kind of boring and dull lately. Hmmmm... just the feeling.

Had a friendly game with NYP last night. It was ok for the first 2 quarters. But the 2 quarters after that was terrible. It's the combination. I allowed everyone to play any position they want. Is it a wise move? Or should I have controlled the situation from the beginning during warm up. I donno. Maybe I should have done something to make it more a learning game than a relax He Ha game. I feel bad after the game actually. Especially after playing GA in the last quarter. I know I'm having a weak attacking line up but didn't do anything about it. Haiz...

Earlier in the week my school had their netball camp. Can't say that it was good. But, I do see improvements of the players that came. It was rather disappointing actually. Not so much on the girls that came but those that didn't come. They have no sense of urgency. Zonal is just around the corner and they are still like this. I really don't know what to do with them. And this group of people is more than half the team. I don't know how long can I carry on until they suck all my passion away from netball.

Was suppose to have beep test on Monday night but it was canceled last minute. Why??? I have to push my coaching away because of this. Nevermind... So, I went NYP for the girls friendly after a sad day at school for their camp. And more disappointment. I had to umpire and my own teammate was not happy with my umpiring. Do you have to do this to me??? So sad...

Tuesday night at NUS was great! It was suppose to be a training session but I really have no mood to coach. So, we played game after game. It was really fun... At least I can recharge my passion level.

Going KL tomorrow. Am I looking forward to it??? I'm not excited at all. Or is it because I'm numb to feel?

I've chopped my hair today.
I think it's a bit short and messy.
Still a bit not use to it when I look in the mirror.

Still up at this hour. Hope I won't be late for coaching tomorrow morning.

I'm aching all over from the basketball game today. It was silly, a bit dissapointing, but overall a good game. The game was delayed because my team only had four players there on time. Over at the other end has tripled our strenght. Silly when you see it. Four warming up at one side and ''Whaooo'' twelve at the other side. So, we waited for more than ten minutes for our two late teamates. We started quite well in the first quarter. Ended it with eight points lead. I think the opponent was shocked too. With only one sub, all of us had little rest time. And soon after, we started to get tired and lost quality of what we did. The lead we had was gone in the second quarter and at half time we were chasing by five. The difference continued to increase till the end of the game. I was struggling so much in the third and last quarter to keep up. How I wish I am able to do what I did in the first quarter. But overall, I enjoyed the game. I've collected seventeen points with the lousy stamina I have.
