Back to School

Am kinda glad that we had the March holidays and that we are now back at school. Cos we have to get started again somewhat and this marks the beginning of the next 7 more weeks we have for our practicuum. Didnt really hit me that we have to do Napfa testing too, and that directly throws off my schdule of the games I had planned. I hope I can sneak in 1 lesson of dance....I really want to try it out.

Sucks

Been having the runs for the past 4 days and and starting to get very very tired from this.Cant even eat the food and leep it in. Heck.

1st of 10 hurdles

Sad to say I get nervous when I'm being assessed and so I hope it goes ok tmr.

I miss so many other things.

I'm an emotional wreck these days. I'm attributing some of it to stress at work(frankly I didnt have it so bad,but I keep thinking its not going too well.Why?!?!?!?), stress at touch and some on homesickness. I didnt know it was going to be so bad,but apparently my attachment to my dog and family members goes deeper than I thought. I guess it's spilling into other areas and I'm starting to feel the effects.

I just wish March holidays would come soon and that I get some time to myself. I need time and space to sort this out.

Self reflection

I've thought long and hard and concluded that I just have to get fitter to keep up. Its not you its me la.Ha sounds like a breakup line.Oh well gotta get that confidence back. Just gotta pick myself up and integrate into the team slowly.The onus is on me to make the effort.

On a side note,today's weather is much cooler,offering a much needed respite from the heat for the past week.Thank goodness if not I seriously think PE wll be very difficult to administer.

It wasnt a good game.

I am really not used to playing a winger, and I admit I was pretty unsure of what was expected of me. To be fair I only had 1 training with the club,but I felt so sucky when I dun think I played decently.Lets see what the future trainings and games hold.

Give it back to me

I am so freaking tired now that I want to shut myself up in my own space and just sleep the day ago.Alas I couldnt cos of so many things,some I wished I can change.

Am really not in the best of moods now.

New start

Ok its back to competitive touch with a new start and new club.Plus I'm like learning again.Hurray!

Love

Walking with him under the open starry sky today,I felt really blessed.

Dogs and I

Had more time to myself after the hectic 1 week IVP season, and I found myself buying more and more books on stories about dogs. There was 1 author that I particularly liked: Jon Katz. There was a touch of humour and plently of love for his dogs,and when his dogs died, I felt like I had that loss too.Wth. Still, A Dog Year was a good book and it's worth the read. With the hype over Marley and me recently, I felt a tinge of annoyance over people who boughtthe book only after watching the movie.

On a brighter note I surfed Redspot (like finally) and liked this picture that the Redspot photographer took.

It speaks volumes. It reflects the hard work(yes we still train like hell), the very very cold ice dips,the hard games and the sheer joy in overcoming whatever shit was thrown at us,like the last minute email on jersery numbers too small must change(after 2 games already can U imagine!!), checking of nails only at the 3rd game and the shouting at us for reaching too near the sideline with a furious look.Siao. Tell us nicely la.

IVP season 2008-2009

Its been 2 days since the 08/09 IVP season ended and I'm still feeling the effects. Sore legs sore arms. But I guess it was all worth it cos I felt fit. Hahaha but the break that I took apparently showed as I gave away too many changeovers from not dumping square on,not being able to take the hard touches/dumps/jeresey and arm pulling from NYP.I am horrified and ashamed to say that I'm guilty of the jersey pulling when I saw the pictures on SportOn. And to think I complained abt it to Khai.Oh man I really should reflect.Paisay NYP.

On a brighter note the NYP game sort of shook me up. The antics employed by the technical in charge didnt make things easier and I was so happy when we pulled through the finals and sudden death to win it. Take that you grouchy old man. Deal with the issues.

Waiting and waiting

Cant wait to go back to my old place to play with Koko again. And looking forward to meeting up with old friends later!

...

Truth be told I'm getting a little bored of updating blogs...

Good to be back

Glad to be back to Singapore and to touch.Had an ok time in Hokkaido and a better one buying the foodstuff. Pictures up in facebook.

Played against RP boys yesterday and I'm happy to say that I could still step and dummy,but need to do more on my speed. Argh. Its back to more training.

Not good enought yet.

I felt really unfit and out of touch yesterday at training.The passes couldnt reach the people on the outside and my defence was not all that fantastic. I wasnt expecting myself to be fantastic or something coming back from a layoff from nearly 6 months but I have a certain standard to maintain with myself. I found myself with weak explosive power and pushoff, and I think my fitness suck big time. I am going to focus on training more liao.

Lone moment

Got started on my maths lesson plan and managed to have some lone time to myself. Swept the house and filed in some documents regarding the house. Feels nice to do it now and then.

It was a much better day

I was so proud of myself yesterday for making it alone driving from toa payoh down to ntu and then to potong pasir. Woo hoo!I just wished I get the van to myself more often. Kinda enjoyed having this freedom,knowing that you can go where you want with your own transport.

And I still miss Koko.Am going to make my trips there back to my old place worth it next week cos am going to go for honeymoon on Thurs liao! Hurray! Kinda missed training as well.It would be better if we can get MOST of the main players down together though. It feels so seperated now.Sylvia,June,Xingxia where are u~~~~~

I miss Koko.

Am suffering from a bout of homesickness and its only the first few days. Sigh.I miss my parents and my dog.But I guess I will slowly get over it. Eventually.

Anyway pictures taken from my friend is up on facebook under my profile. Check it out if u want.

Its all over the place

I'm happy its over! Now at least I can settle down and concentrate fully on shifting to a new environment. The only downside is that I dun get to see Koko so often,but with trainings so often back at NTU I get to go back!

On a side note,I think I have no chance with SAJC. Might be too busy with a secondary school to join a club then.

I dun have a scanner and no pictures sent to me yet so no pictorial updates as yet.

It just feels weird without exercise.

It felt pretty good to finally make up my mind. Aaron was right,I cant leave touch alone for long. And I got a call from SA's HOD regarding my resume, and if everything goes well and I go to JC for my 3 years bond I will join a club to stay in touch with touch and be fit. As of now, I still have to go withdraw money and do my nails.At the request of my parents. Say gotta look pretty for tmr. I just hope the eyebags are not tat big when I wake up.
