the champions

Germany. You're still the champions in my heart.
You'll never lose my support at all. Never at all.
See you again in the World Cup 2010.
It's more than a joy to see you play in the field.

I attribute the victory of Spain to their good luck during the game.
Well, I also want to humbly admit that they have more capable and younger players in their squad.
I didn't take much delight in watching the game this morning, though.
Partly, because I was so upset.

To my subjective view, German players are still the best.
Irreplaceable, they are.

I will have no ears for those mocking and letting me down by reminding my champions' loss.

Naaaah! I'm.. possessed! Europe!

final match before 2010

FINAL MATCH. GERMANY VS SPAIN.
Who's gonna be the champion of Euro 2008?

I'm so happy to have witnessed every single Germany's match. Never missed even one.
I feel so proud to be a faithful Germany fan to have done that! Lol.
I'm so happy to see Germany in the final round!
I never expected it to happen actually.
I now feel sorry that I had ever underestimated my own favourite team.

It will be the last match that I will see before the World Cup 2010.
The last moment to cheer for my favourite team. I will enjoy and treasure it. Tonight.
Sighs. Quite sad.
There will be no more fun with my friends fussing about the match..

Beach Tchoukball - Fun at Novena

I simply love today. So much. Even though I had failed to carry out my plan to study after coming back from Beach Tchoukball Tournament.

The joy that I did a good job on one or two games at the tournament..
The joy of being the FIRST.. runner up (lol) of the tournament, they didn't really matter to me.

The thing is that..

We shared laughter together. Making fun of Mark, Joshua, etc. And, making fun of me too, of course. Sighs.

I was the only girl. Haha. But, I don't feel awkward at all. I'm used to it. Errhm, but don't think that I like to flirt with them, no. It's just that.. I don't know what. Haha. But it's not that I like to flirt with them. TRUST ME!

I felt quite guilty after losing to the Fury Warrior (is that how you spell it? hmmm I don't know), cos I wasn't able to catch any of the balls.
So I was sad. Mainly because of that, not really of our loss to the FW.

Anyway, after the tournament ended.. We made use of the vouchers that we got. (we got a lot of other exciting souvenirs too, apart of the trophy and medals)
Went to Kopitiam to eat using the $2 voucher.
Walked around Velocity at Novena, looking for a stuff that we all could buy and then use together. Of course, using the $10 voucher given :P
Having so much fun! yeah yeah yeah!

Sorry, guys.. I am a girl. I can't help but wanting to stare at cute stuff all the time.
Haha. Sorry to make you guys wait when I bought a new Adidas shoebag and Adidas spray.
The spray, turned out to be the same as my roommate's. Haha.

Yeah. So.. We ended up buying slippers at Lonsdale.
Buy 2 get 1 free. $9.90 just nice!
There were 9 of us. And 3 of us didn't have the voucher.
So, each of us just had to pay $1 to cover the ones who didn't have the voucher.

It's gonna be fun! Wearing the same slippers after training. Yeayy!

We took some stupid pictures showing how happy we were. Yeahh.
I love calling them "Kids.. Get outta this shop, fast."
Cos they often got hooked to some particular shop too.
Haha.
It was really a time of fun.

YEAYEAYEAYEAYEAYEAYEAYEAYEAYYYY.


I simply love today. I simply love Novena. Velocity. Wooaaahhhhrrrr.....

candid shot in the train

yaww yaww. in the train.. oh no! my face was all but flash! oh. maybe, they're taking pic with FLASH! wow!

at city hall interchange - mrt station.

proud with the trophy and the LONSDALE, as though we were sponsored by LONSDALE.

impossible thing happens in soccer

oh myy gosh i can't believe it!
was expecting netherlands to win russia! but.. no 3-1 for russia!
so shocking!
nonononononononononononononononononoooo!
see the sky is showing its anger now..
lightning, thunder, wind blowing so strong..
aaarrrrrhhh!
so scary!

6.22am

germany overrules my life.

..then i came to read my old messages three months plus ago.
germany..
it made me feel sooo strange.
shit!
what happened to me!
i really miss germany so much that i couldn't think!
i feel so refrained from doing anything at all!
is it my fault that i put germany stuff in everything, that everytime i see it my feeling hurts a lot?

it has been 3months plus but it still can't get out of my head!

i miss my bro! i miss the moments we shared in germany together!
frankfurt..
the streets.. kaiserstrasse and other strasses that we passed by..
the that shop i've forgotten the name already.. where i was looking for a bell for my guardian.
another shop and another shop which was a souvenir shop where i finally found the bell at.
the train.. the station.
the kebab shop where we had our dinner together at.. in the middle of the damn cold rainy evening.
the moment when i told him that i need to shee shee that he told me to just do so at the toilet in the train station.
the cafe, the chocolate drink he bought for me, where we were waiting for the time to come for him to go back home and for us to go to the airport.
the moment when he passed me some money for allowance,
when he bought the train ticket,
when he showed me how to go to the train station ourselves without him,
since he had to go back earlier than us.
if not, he would have to wait for another around 1hour for the next train.

the moment where he hugged me before leaving for kaiserslautern..
i held back my tears with a great effort that day..
it was so painful for me to hold back my tears on the plane too.
every second was a struggle for me.

the euros he gave me, it's still kept nicely. i just don't want to exchange it and use it to pay my lodging fee.

darn! everytime i see germany's match, i will miss germany even more!

darn! i really miss a&o hostel.
every hostel that we stayed at..
i missed the moment we had having the breakfast and dinner together.
lunch at chinese restaurant, some other restaurant also, and kebab.
i miss the moment when we shopped and walked around the shopping centre.
i miss H&M! pimkie..
i miss alan, winston and the bus driver..
i miss all the journey.
i miss being in the middle of the sea of angmohs..
i miss the weather.
i miss the snow..
i miss wearing those layers of clothes..
i miss germany!
i miss germany!
i miss germanyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

30-hr awake.germany3-2portugal.no regret.

they were on fire in the match against portugal.

it was the most marvellous match ever seen. (believe me, i'm just exaggerating. there were a lot of more extravagant match before, i think.)

in just 4mins (eh, is it 4 or 6? haha), bastian schweinsteiger and miroslav klose respectively could score 2 goals for their team.

ballack scored the third one :)

although the very few last minutes were even more thrilling than before, due to portugal's consistent attempt at the attacking zone, germany's defence was still as strong as a fortress.

3-2. it's worth it.



i was already prepared (actually half prepared) if germany were to lose to portugal.

but, schweinsteiger made me see how high-spirited they were in the match that i wanted to believe in them once again that they really could make it.

it was proven true by him. the first goal was tremendous!

it was only at the 22nd minute of the game had he already made germany's fans proud.

another pride was brought by klose just in the next 4 (or 6) mins.

ballack scored at the second half of the game.



there were a lot of awkward, obvious and silly perjuries (or rather, it was the referee's carelessness).

some fouls were not supposed to be given yellow card, but he just did give.

ironically, some fouls which were supposed to be given yellow card, he didn't.



anyway, that was the most enjoyable match for me.

since i watched with the other 3 portugal supporters, making me standing alone to support germany.

but it was fun. i can make the others feel jealous and dissatisfied. and also, made them realise how upset they were. haha.

oh gosh, i'm so cruel. nonono. it was just for.. fun. and i didn't really do that actually.



this is.. 30hour-consciousness.

wow..



i haven't had my sleep.

i took my physics mock exam paper 2 like a zombie; eyes open so widely, but my mind was sleeping.

i didn't even totally contemplate on what i was writing on my answer script.

hope that it would make sense.

fail will i. i think.

sighs..



but i never regret. for germany.

17june08

i watched germany vs austria at nissa's house.
i and nissa missed the first half of the game cos we overslept until 2am.
i felt very happy to see them win and make it through the next round, yeah babe!
i felt disappointed cos lukas podolski was out of the field nearing the end of the game. however,
i felt relieved. finally michael ballack had recovered from his goal-infertility.he scored.free kick.

i and nissa couldn't wake up on time this morning to go to school, so..
i and nissa didn't go to school today for "extra lessons on holiday". so..
i and nissa continued sleeping until 2 or 3. after that,
i and nissa ate lunch, yummy.

i felt guilty. because of me wanting to watch germany's match, we didn't go to school. however,
i and nissa studied. self-study. to get rid of my guilty feelings for causing us not go to school.

i added quite a lot of songs into my mp3 from nissa's comp.

i was shocked last night to know how actually podolski's voice sounded like.
i thought it would sound like those cheeky ones, but it turned out to be very deep and so manly!
i smiled :)

i am upset cos that person checked me out but didn't reply to that. but,
i am so happy to.. finally.. see that face again! the profile. the photos.

beautiful people camp 13-15june

too many things to learn. making me sick and disturbed! knowing that it'll be hard to put those things into action. but still, very grateful.

my trainer in that camp said that my dreams are not too idealistic. they are reasonable.

falling down hurt. took up a lot of courage and strength to get up and pull myself up. tough. hard. hated it. hate it.

and i realised that i am actually not easy to get excited. for some things. whereas others are for those particular ones.

gonna go to that home again next week after the kungfu panda treat cum lunch.

the grand luxurious regent hotel was too much to ask for. loved it!
had not been enjoying such facilities for months. the last was in november and was not that high class. tv, tub (sh*t, didn't bathe! only showered), air-con, spring bed. buffet dinner! heaven on earth!

thanks to big sisters. beautiful people..
despite regret for joining the camp at the beginning, it turned out to be so cool in fact that i benefited a lot.

dreams.. leaders.. care.. those kinda bullshit theoretical stuff put into activities which were the analogies to the real life.
annoying, but beneficial.
but, not easy to put into action in real life.

and.. not really miss the regent, instead i miss germany and all its stuff i enjoyed there. weird.

i'm not in the mood.

i need to force myself to face book. not facebook.

sorrows

darn.
i went all the way there, sacrificing my time and rest, just to witness how they were being defeated by those newbies.
germany vs croatia 1-2
why oh why..

it hurt me so much to see how my babies struggled to even defend and keep the ball away from being tackled by the croatians.

but, at least my star broke the goal drought.
one goal was scored after the half break..
..after a whole period of silliness, injustice and struggling.

i know it may sound very childish, but from the bottom of my heart, i really hate croatia for defeating germany..
as much as i hated italy when they defeated germany in the world cup 2006.

although i agree that the croatians were far more prepared in terms of strategies, speed and accuracy; and that the germans were quite slow and not successful in carrying out their strategies, there were too many dramas, fakes and injustice going on!

freak the referee! freak the croatian players too!
i witnessed so many faked fall-downs by the croatians that made the referee think that the germans committed foul.

joachim loew, his strategies didn't turn out to be successful.
and i think he was very slow to get schwensteiger into the field.
once he got in there, he helped quite a lot.
but, carried away by emotion and anger, he got a red card by pushing a croatian guy who finally got yellow card since he committed foul to schwensteiger at first.

and again, gomez was really a spoiler. it was proven in this match!
darrrn!

also, there were too many loop holes in germany's defence and offence.
these hence disprove what i had said before.
their defence and offence were not that strong..
:(

ballack, oh gosh.
he had been deproving, i know.
since the world cup in 2006.. :(

come on, germany! you all must buck up!
whereas croatia, both their offence and defence were superb!
ohh darn, i should admit that! :S i hate it..

but oh well..
i'm just being too fanatic, too exaggerating, too excited and silly here.
just ignore me..

i hope poland and austria will draw.
i hope and i'm pretty sure that germany will beat austria.
so in conclusion, i believe that germany will go to the next round.

ignore me!!

darn, i have to wake up again in 4 hours' time for camp which i had been reluctant to participate in.

13june, sobs..

modest guy, podolski

ROW OVER GERMAN DUAL-NATIONALITY FOOTBALLER
Politician Demands Poland Strip Podolski of Citizenship
A Polish far-right politician wants Polish-born German striker Lukas Podolski, who scored both goals in Germany's 2-0 victory over Poland in the European Championship on Sunday, to be stripped of his Polish citizenship.



No cheers: Podolski didn't celebrate either of his goals against the country of his birth.
A Polish politician has demanded that German national team football player Lukas Podolski be stripped of his Polish citizenship, according to German media reports.
....
His comments came after Polish-born Podolski, who holds both German and Polish passports, scored twice in Sunday's 2-0 German victory over Poland in the EURO 2008 European championship (more...).

In a separate interview, Orzechowski told Polish newspaper Dziennik: "If someone performs in the colors of a foreign state, there's already a desire there to renounce citizenship. You can't say it more clearly. And the president should interpret that fact like this: that it's intentional."

Podolski made headlines in Germany because his reaction to his two goals against Poland was noticeably muted. He didn't smile or cheer and even held his head in his hands after one of the goals.

"I didn't celebrate because Poland is part of my heart," the 23-year-old striker told German television after the match. "I left when I was two, but my dad and uncle and other relatives were in the stand. You have to have some respect for the country."

Podolski's teammates and Germany's media showed understanding for his attitude. German national team manager Oliver Bierhoff said Podolski had made a "nice gesture" by refraining from celebrating. "The only important thing was that he scored two goals for us," he said.

Polish supporters at the match in Klagenfurt, Austria, also showed their respect for Podolski by standing up when the announcement came that he had been declared "man of the match."

Podolski's behavior and the media coverage of it may have helped to diffuse tensions caused by a tabloid war between Polish and German media last week.

Polish paper Super Express had angered German commentators and politicians by printing a photo montage of Polish coach Leo Beenhakker holding the severed heads of German captain Michael Ballack and coach Joachim Löw under the headline "Leo, Bring us Their Heads!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

..Never mind how angry the Polish are.
Oh gee! Podolski is really a very modest and respectful man!
I was really moved upon reading that the reason why he didn't celebrate his goals was because he respected his home country..
:)

first time

gosh!

i was screwed up today!
overslept and couldn't go for tchoukball training in the morning.
trying to study, only managed to do 20MCQ physics questions.
panic panic panic! i'm supposed to study during holidays!
but my body can't abide with what my brain always tells it.

didn't want to go for basketball training at tjc, at first.
cos i felt nervous and scared that i couldn't improve on my playing.
however, my brain kept forcing myself to go.
until some friends encouraged me to, then i decided to follow what my brain had said.

aiya. thanks so much, brain.
you talk so much, but still very lousy.
cos you can hardly make your friends move.

during the drill, before we played a game, i almost fainted.
my first experience!
luckily, i was aware of my condition. i was unwell.
not enough sleep, i think, due to being 24-hour awake yesterday.

could feel my heart pounding even on my neck.
it was so ticklish! eww! gross! could also feel my blood rushing off inside my body, especially in the chest. at the heart part. felt very funny. but, really not nice at all!

after telling my buddy for that particular drill, i went off to the water cooler.
however, walking felt like flying to me.
my vision was blurred. there was one hole of a quite clear view of the surroundings, whereas the rest was just.. i don't even know what it was.
red? black dots? or.. oh, yeah! it's kinda, like the negative of a photo!
my ears were all blocked. i could hear nothing but echoes.

but, thanks, coach. for giving us encouragement to study for o levels.
even she gave us amaths paper to practice :)
what a nice coach..

after that, went to eat ajisen ramen at tampines mall with annmarie and ng teng.
from cedar girls.
real nice girls :D

happy for spain and holland's victory!
:]

GERMANY VS POLAND: 2 - 0

Lukas Podolski. after scoring the second goal.

lukas podolski scored twice, the hero of the past, present, n future.

down to earth, he is.

shown by his face after scoring the 2goals in the match.

perfect duet, he n klose. forever! salute!

it just felt nice to see them play again.

it'd been two years since the last time i saw them play in world cup 2006.

was so amazed to witness the perfect duet still able to orchestrate a beautiful goal just like what they did two years ago.

and despite lukas podolski's change in his attacking position.

i'm so sorry but i have to say that..

his position's replacement, gomez, was just.. pretty useless.

good collaboration between podolski and klose

my star! he scored!

their defence was just.. amazing!

thanks mertesacker, philipp lahm, etc.

their cooperation.. no one can beat it!

the duet, and especially the trio.

podolski, klose, schwansteiger, whose collaboration resulted in the second goal scored by podolski.

schwansteiger (just went in to the field) passed to klose,
klose passed to podolski. PERFECT!

they are really down-to-earth and always play a high-class game.

this is not a propaganda! but they are the truly perfect football team in my heart. no one could take their special VVIP place.

exchanged jersey with poland, applauding the audience

24hour consciousness

watched soccer with daniel at simpang bedok.

austria vs croatia, it was rough. not that interesting though..
watching it was kinda struggle to beat my sleepiness as how austria struggled to score even one goal.
imagine..
the excitement whereby a goal was scored was only at the 3rd minute.
the rest.. ahhh.
so i dozed off during second half of the game.
at the end, nothing changed.

germany vs poland, i was awake the whole game!
even more than ever before!
they were just amazing!

i just can't wait to watch them play again. next game: vs croatia.

now it's 7.57 in the morning.
got back home at around 6.30, came online and took a shower.
after that continued on being online.

have to go soon for percussion meeting to create new cadances for the coming performances.
i'm no more performing.
alumni have to contribute to the making of the new cadances for the juniors to perform.

it's gonna be.. more than 24hour consciousness for me!
except a few minutes spent sleeping in the bus on the way back home.

oldiee

and, i just couldn't get myself not distracted by the presence of my lousy 10-year-old laptop before my eyes.

(you....how would i phrase this..)
umm.. 1conversation window popped up. it's him.
third time i met him online on the same day (dawn, morning, midnight).

been talking to each other frequently lately during this holiday.
about anything; serious or just crap and random stuff as how he likes it.
but basically, everything we talk about, how crappy that would be, surely benefits me and our friendship. (does it benefit you too, anyway? lol. don't ask me in what ways tho)

he kept making fun of me insightfully without him noticing it.
including; saying that i loved showering so much.
when actually it just happened that i always came online before showering.

this guy is really really disappointed in his own country and the people.
like me. but the difference is, i'm being too idealist, wanting to make a change in my country.

too bad i "might" not be here anymore when he "might" come to singapore after he graduates. lol.

thanks for the praise for me. (oh, i'm supposed to praise you, huh? gosh.)
he's.. very good! making me stay up till.. 6am in the morning. very well.. lol.

he always throws sudden but at the same time tough questions to me, which make me think. that shows how good he is at this. maybe he could be a lawyer, if he wants to.

and he's very good also at making me jealous of the food he cooks.

enough, oldie? :P

yeah, i'm weird. so are you.. :)

19-hour non stop consciousness

watched narnia today at cine leisure.
was great. loved the feeling when the movie led me feel as though i was travelling back to the past with peter and the rest.
i always love this kinda historical fiction movie..
made me imagine how thing would be if i were in their shoes.
being in that period would be so stylooo!
somehow, the castles shown in the picture reminded me of Neuschwanstein in Germany.
: darnnn! i miss it so, too much!

bought adidas water bottle for my roomie. regretted that i had bought mine before 23may that i bought it at $9 whereas now it's already $6.30! lucky you, roomie :]
and the colour was.. baby pink! there was no such colour when i bought mine, so i bought black-black.
and you, roomie, you don't want to exchange with me.. i feel so sad! :(

subway for lunch before movie started.
however, for dinner, it was kinda difficult for us to decide.
walking around here and there until city hall, we still couldn't decide.

decision makers are not us, really. we are just hopeless! (namely: me, nissa, cedrick, estee -the blacklisted people, lol)

finally, after our legs felt tired, we ended up eating pastamania.
couldn't get our ass off the chairs even after we finished the food.

once again, these blacklisted people, couldn't decide how to go home.
another confusion came: should we go home or go to east coast, lying on the beach gazing at the cloudy skies.
after it got pretty late, we finally went back home. safely. (if not, i wouldn't have written this)

power of love

it was tremendous!
i felt so moved seeing some of the girls have really changed and can even do something useful.
THE POWER OF LOVE..
thanks to TJC (Mr Han Yong, Kai Ing, n other students), Eunice Olsen, everyone!

the preparation as well as the thing itself, really brought everyone together as one.

however, it then led me to realise that some of the new girls are so.. aiih. annoying and full of drama.

it was tiring. but, quite relieved upon enjoying the performances.
especially, honestly speaking, Eunice Olsen's and some bands' performances.
very attractive.

FEEDING ME UP

that really messed up my afternoon, but luckily not my whole day.

he's overtly biased. i am sure. below is the explanation as well as the proofs why i can assure you that he is indeed.
i got scolded by the security guard for wearing slippers into the school, which i didn't even know that it was not allowed.
if that only was the case, i would've admitted it sincerely then.
"THE 5MOST IMPORTANT WORDS: I ADMIT I MADE MISTAKES"

but..
this man was making me fed up!

firstly, he accused me of pretending to not hear him shouting at me.
hello? i was listening to my favourite 98.7 with my earpiece stuck on my ears, how would you expect me to hear you, hey dearest uncle..
take off my earpiece when coming into the school? you don't have the rights to say that whatsoever, uncle!
that's my own problem! my own mp3 player. my own earpiece. my own EARS!
you want to take control of my life, is it?
moreover, it's a school holiday! i didn't have any classes at all. i am sure school allows me to bring mp3..

secondly, he was asking me the reason why i wore slippers.
when i was half-way answering, he said that he didn't want to hear the word "because.." that i had just spoken of.
then, uncle, what do you expect your WHY question to be replied with? other than by "because.."?
have you learnt ENGLISH LANGUAGE before?

thirdly, i was made to be scared by his threat: "...or else, i would report to mr ismail (the operational manager, or the discipline master? haha i don't even know :P)"
hello? i'm not a little girl who needs to be threatened. i understand NORMAL EXPLANATION and WOULD LIKE TO ABIDE WITH IT.

fourthly..
this is the last but not the least at all.
i saw some of my friends coming into the school wearing slippers JUST BEFORE HIS SUPPOSINGLY-NORMAL EYES!
he just PRETENDED that he saw nothing.
I WITNESSED THAT!
this..
this really proves that he is completely biased!
BIASED!
BIASED!!!

i was really angry!

sexist? are you, uncle?
scared of guys? are you, uncle?
then, what are you?
why did you treat me that way?
where is the justice in this school?

INTEGRITY, RESPECT, CARE.
yeah.. right.
perhaps there's a reason why they didn't put "FAIRNESS" or "JUSTICE" or "EQUALITY" as one of the school mottos.

bb tjc

firstly, was a bit discontented when she said that i looked very lost (again) and that she actually scolded me in the game for not passing enough.
but, finally i could accept my weaknesses and learn from the mistakes i made.

thanks to her, ji hui or zhi hui haha i dont know how to spell her name.
thanks for telling me all my stupid mistakes.
thanks for telling me how i should improve on my playing.
thanks for being so patient and observant: showing me my weakness in details, explaining the steps i should take to improve in details, giving me chance to try again until i got it right.

thanks to ms ang, the lovely coach ever! :)
for giving me the opportunity to learn more from the training.
thanks for being so patient too in explaining my weaknesses to me.

i was about to not go for the training today, because i felt very uneasy and nervous about going for it.
but, well, just encouraged myself to go. find new friends. one said (ms val). new experience.
and in the end, there was something more too. new stuff to learn.

i feel that: although i'd been training so often, i'd not picked up the real skill yet. especially in a game. don't know why.
my ignorance hindered me? or my coach didn't notice since the others' weaknesses covered up mine? or.. have i lost my skill?

anyhow, i'm lousy now. well, only in a game. basic stuff, like passing, shooting (it's no longer as accurate as it used to be though), they are still okay.
but in a game, i'm completely totally absolutely lost and absent-minded.
i feel so damn stupid. haha.

thanks also to zheng chao for giving me personal training. teaching me some fakes.
but, too bad, i don't know how to use them in a game hahahahahaha.
see how stupid i am.
hrrhrhrhrhrrrrrh.

next tuesday will be another training.

superstars

this concerns about the events on last saturday, 31may08..
being one of the superstars of the day..

woke up early in the freaking morning after a tiring day training tchoukball and basketball.
walked out of the house with a hope of having a wonderful day ahead.

it was a fine morning cos i was on time, not late, to meet the others. and that's a good start of the day.
i just couldn't get my eyes off the book i have been reading. what an interesting book.
"a spectacle of corruption" by david liss. a historical fiction.
they just couldn't stop complaining me being so hooked on the book. nerd, etc. whatever!

at vivo city, people started calling out for us by the eye-catching statement on the back of our tchoukball training tshirt. "I EAT BALLS"
whateverrr! i don't care what they say. we are us.
ball eaters.

i hated nissa for bluffing me that she'd not come to join us for beach tchoukball there, when i called her from sentosa.
but thanks for buying food for us :] was really hungry.

having some difficulties jumping on the sand to shoot. even balancing myself was hardly done properly. i lost balance a few times and hence failed to pass the ball after catching.

funny thing was, i crashed with mark when trying to catch someone's shot. and it was so freaking painful for a short moment.

quite disappointed cos i kept dropping ball, shooting improperly and losing balance.

however, after a while i got used to it. though my shot was not that satisfying all the while.

he came the thrilling and interesting parts. being videoed while playing. people at the beach started to look at this unique and strange-looking game. and.. being interviewed kind of personally by the people from a channel on singtel tv cable. waikit and me.

stephanie or stephany or whatever her name is supposed to be spelled, she learnt how to play tchoukball. all of this was recorded by the cameraman.

after everything had finished, we should talk in front of the camera together.
"Hi. we are from tchoukball association of Singapore. and you are watching sling hd. only on ...(sling,.. whatever! cant remember hahaha)."

it was sooo fun! superstars.. tchoukball rocks, yeahh!

xiexie, coach.

thank God i went for the training.
it's worth the rush.
go back home from church n quickly leave for school for the training.

thanks mr rezal for asking us to come..
thanks qiurong for being my personal translator for the day.

i learnt a lot from the taiwanese coach during the training yesterday.
it's really beneficial as expected.

1.running fast to catch the ball
2.be agile and alert always
3.how to shoot in different angle

was really eager to do my very best.
but somehow he didn't comment anything on my shot from right wing.

at the end, was happy when the coach said "hao qiu" (i dont know qiu or jiu, haha) after i shot from left wing.
meaning that my shot was good.
in chinese, he said that my posture and shot were perfect (translated by one of the national team girls).

is it really something that i can finally be proud of? nope.
there are still some more skies higher above this sky.

i'm still a newbie in this game instead.
but maybe i can just make this as something that satisfies me just at this moment.
still better than nothing at all.

my dear friend, don't be dismayed by your weaknesses.
you still have a lot of talents in other things while others don't.
bagaikan kuat ketam kerana sepit, kuat burung kerana sayap.
i know sometimes i look down on myself too because i can't do certain things.
but cheer up and try to look at your life from a different angle.
see that no one's life can be perfect.

he said to mr rezal that i should've joined the girls' national team.
too bad, it's too late. their tournament is coming very soon.
and also, this year is my o level year. i can't be joining the team!

anyway.. xiexie, xiexie..
