My butt has always been big but never had I have any trouble with it, until today. Assembly, attire check. Mrs Beetsma said my skirt was too short?!?! Anyone can see that my skirt isn't short but she always insisted it was, right from Day 1. So 17/08's teacher came over to our class. Apparently, there was something like peer-checking. The teachers checked one another's classes. So the teacher was like 'Hmm, your skirt looks alright from the front, but alittle short at the back'. So I said, 'cher, my butt big, that's why.' So she said, 'Oh, when you put on weight, your skirt gets shorter.' See, she shares the same sentiments as me. And I swear I don't fold my skirt, it's really my butt's problem. Even when I'm wearing a skirt, you can see that my butt's really huge. Then the girls were laughing away. Was telling them that if I had a nice prominent butt, it's still okay, but problem is, I have a huge butt, not a prominent butt! Then this other teacher came just when Ah Cat was asking me, 'How come the teachers here don't catch people with dyed hair?', and guess what, she got caught by him. Lol. He kind of suspected me too, but after inspecting further, he decided it was natural. At table tennis training today too, Coach was pointing out my mistakes a few times, '康妮，又再用屁股！' Omg, embarrassing. Then Coach demo-ed what I was doing, damn funny and exaggerated, but embarrassing too. But I think my performance today was much better than last Tuesday. =) Oh yeah, Mr Tan came to train us too. Really, I feel like chopping off my butt. Hahaha, but the idea seems too hilarious. School ended at 12.30pm for me today, then I decided to go home so that I can continue watching Fated To Love You. Watched episode 17, and oh my gawd, almost died while watching. Damn hot scene. I kind of wished they would continue to make another mistake. Hehe. =P Then the story would have a happy ending. But no, the guy had to fall so sick that he dozed off without hearing what the girl had to say. -.- Argh, felt like killing the scriptwriter, whoever he is. Labels: Others |

Today was the down-in-the-dumps kind of day. It started off with an argument with my mum in the morning over some money matters while I was in a frenzy, trying to print my PI research materials before rushing off for school. She was the one who started it, making such a big fuss over something so trivial. She's the one being so unreasonable. It's not like we can't afford it, it's not like I'm being extravagant, it's not like I didn't explain to her the reason behind my request, it's not like I'm using it for something unimportant, because it is, in fact, for something very important, and it's not like she doesn't know how important it is. I was so frustrated that I yelled back at her, I swear I'd woken up the neighbours. Left for school in Dad's car in a foul mood. And darn, what I encountered while waiting for assembly to start worsened my already-rotten mood. Sometimes I wonder why I'm so smart to be at the wrong places at the wrong times. NAPHA was pretty alright. Only thing that lifted up my spirits alittle was doing a personal record for sit-ups and Mr Tan, the new PE teacher who often joins in our table tennis training. He was nice and funny. Before we started the sit-ups item, he was like 'Connie, 40 ah!' Embarrassing because getting a 31 is already quite huge an achievement for me. But funnily, his encouragement did work. I did a 41. While doing, I was thinking to myself, 'Mr Tan wants a 40, prove it to him that you can', and somehow, I managed to drag my body up quicker and faster until the 1 minute was up because I didn't want to feel embarrassed. Lessons were mediocre. But was feeling quite tired. Kinda dozed off during GP lecture. Contact time was quite good. Actually planned to sleep during it, but didn't, because the acapella group was really good. Then went for floorball. Was looking forward to playing. But there were some miscommunication, I guess. So some of us were playing catch-ball for awhile and trying out some goalkeeper moves. Lol. Then got to play a small match with the Taiwanese students from the Taiwan Immersion Programme. It was actually a floorball clinic for them. I assisted Xin Hui, the Taiwanese who looks like KC. I must be missing him too much. LOL. Can imagine his ego inflating at an exponential rate while reading this. Haha. Anyway, Xin Hui's goal was super nice! =DC. Was quite comfortable with talking to him despite meeting him for the first time today and Taiwanese somemore! Since when was I comfortable with speaking to someone I don't really know well and speaking my lousy Chinese infront of a native speaker? Guess he resembled KC too much, that's why. Lol. Speaking of KC, I wonder when I'll be seeing KC and Co., and the girls. I hope I'll be able to make it after Sports Appreciation Ceremony next friday. Anyway, after everything ended, it was desserts at the opposite market with some of the girls. Felt so helpless when I read the sms at the bus stop. Somehow, I don't want to know the true reason, I'm afraid that it'll be so hurtful that I can never look at that person in the same way again. I want to help so much, but I can't think of anything I can do. =( Yesterday's evening wasn't any better than today. Performance at table tennis training sucked like hell. Couldn't do the ' las' correctly. Either I was too fast in moving, or too slow, or I dipped my bat too low, or my position was really off. Not one was correctly done. Coach used me many times for examples to point out my mistakes. I'm perfectly alright with it, but it goes to show that I wasn't practising what he had taught. I need to change that. Felt so bad towards Zhihao because I was practising with him and I played like shit, while he was trying hard to receive every ball even though I wasn't exactly hitting them to the right positions. It's seldom that I have an emo post. But today really sucked right to the core. Sorry, I didn't mean to blog an emo entry but I can't help it.

Man, what a toot I was. Just realised that I actually have KBS World on cable tv all this while. To think that I was begging my mum for months to let me get that Korean channel once the contract is up. -.- Anyway, I think I'll probably stick my butt to the sofa and glue my eyes to the tv screen from now on. It'll be less internet for me but more korean dramas and sitcoms! Dad got my sis a Samsung Omnia yesterday. Super nice, even though I was telling her to wait for the iPhone instead. And I'm super jealous now. But oh well, she had her share earlier this year so that makes us quits now. And I still have my long-awaited KBS World, nothing else matters. Muahahaha. This ricebucket here ate 2 bowls of rice last night after not having rice for one whole day. I like the feeling of stuffing alot of rice into my mouth, and food taste especially nice if you eat with alot of rice. So next time if there's shortage of veggies, meat or anything, just give me rice and I'll still be happy and full. Haha. Had chilled double-boiled milk for desserts, super nice. At first I wanted the hot one, then the waitress said that I need to wait 20min for it, I 'huhh...' abit too loudly, my bro turned to stare at me, I think some people from other tables did too. Lol. Alright, I'm done with bumming around, time to continue with Maths elearning. Mr Ang sent me 2 smses last thursday and friday demanding that I start on Maths. Gave me a shock of my life, I swear my heart nearly skipped a beat while reading his messages. I didn't know that he would go track us. Wanted to leave Maths to the last because I know I'll have a hard time understanding. Ahhh, can't talk anymore! Loads of things to do! Labels: Others, Random |

I don't and will never regret running for floorball exco. It had been a great experience. I've never given any kind of speech in the entire 17 years of my life(now you know what a bum I was in pri & sec school), so today was my first. I would say it took me a whole lot of courage to up there in front of the whole floorball team, guys and girls, giving a nomination speech. Even an interview by Mrs Loke last year didn't seem so daunting. Lol. I think I did pretty well in my speech, except for the occasional stutterings, erms, ers. Okay, maybe using the word occasional is an understatement, my speech was more like, full of stutterings. Haha. The girls said I looked like I was about to cry. Oh my, did I really? Lol. I swear I wasn't, I was just trying to think of what I'm going to say next. But like I said, it was a good experience hyperventilating and freaking out on whether I should bring my script up, what's the next sentence I'm going say, whether I'm making any sense in my talking...etc. Some of you reading this must be like, 'What?!?! It's just a speech!" But it's not 'just a speech' for me, it's 'The First Speech'. Well, at least I know I won't freak out that much the next time I'm asked to make a speech. Haha! Like what I told Ju Yee, even though I may not be in the Exco, I'll definitely still continue to give my very best in floorball. Being in Exco or not, does not and will never change my passion in, commitment and devotion to floorball. And whatever I've said today about striving to do well in my PDPs and studies, I'll definitely still keep to that too. I have one very personal goal for floorball. I think it's a very funny and super malu one. I've never mention it to anyone, neither is it written in my journal in invisible ink. Until I achieve it, it shall not be disclosed. =P Congratulations to the new Exco! Must bring us to greater heights! Make us taller! Lol. Everyone have faith in you all, so must bring us to heights so great that any higher, we'll all have our heads in outer space! =D And for all who are not in the Exco, please don't be dismayed! Continue to do your best for floorball. Like what Kenneth and Beale said, you don't have to be in the Exco to contribute to the team! To Vivien and Ju Yee, thank you for the wonderful guidance in these 6 months or so. We really learnt alot. You all did a great job despite having to be the captains, vice-captains, treasurers and quartermistresses all at the same time. That's defintiely not something easy. Once again, thank you!

Had an orthodontic appointment yesterday. My dentist got changed again. She's also very nice. I'm always so lucky to meet nice people. Anyway, was late for like 20 minutes, and I think it was supposed to be her breaktime or something, felt so guilty for taking away her breaktime. =X And all she did was to remind me gently to be on time the next time. Then she saw the floorball on my bag, she asked me what's that. Told her it's a floorball, and she asked whether it's something you play with a stick, like hockey. Explained to her it's quite similar, and assured her that the stick can't be raised above the waist level because she was quite worried that I would get whacked on my teeth. Lol. Holey stuffs really seem arouse interest among people. The other time, this lady who lives in my residence saw me holding my stick, and she was quite curious about the holey blade and what sports I play. Again, she recognises that it's similar to hockey. So floorball isn't that underrated in Singapore afterall because people know such a sport exists and roughly how it is played. I digressed quite abit. But yeah, in a few months' time, it'll be goodbye braces, hello retainers! Looking forward to that! =D Went Pasir Ris Park in the evening, I hereby proclaim, I CAN SWING ON THE SWING!!! I was swinging so high that I almost did a 360. Okay, that's exaggeration, but you get my point. That's for Zhiying and Shanmin because they were always so amazed that I can't swing on a swing. Now I can, let's have a challenge at Tanah Merah playground sometime! =P Just completed my GP discussion. Mine looks like an essay, man, I'm going to have a hard time finding something else for the presentation next week because whatever I can say is already in my discussion. Lol. Guess what, I was trying to post my discussion just now, then there was so many weird characters, so I deleted them one by one. When I got to the last question, then I suddenly remember matrix2's first page said something like don't copy and paste from microsoft words, use notepad instead. Arghh!!! Wasted half an hour highlighting and backspacing like some fool! And guess what again, I didn't do the chem online quiz yesterday. I thought they were taking it down at 12midnight so at 10.06pm, I went to matrix2 and click on it, 'eh, how come cannot click?'. Read carefully, 'The quiz will no longer be accessible after 10.00pm'. Die. I've been having maggi mee for lunch for 3 days straight already! Mum decided maggi mee was the easiest to prepare since I'm the only one at home while my siblings are all in school. Maggi mee = fattening! Finally, a change today! Mum told me she's not cooking any lunch. Lol, can only eat biscuits from the cupboards. But in any way, biscuits are still better than maggi mee. I realised there's still alot of things I haven't done, like WR! Alright, shall go practise some piano first before doing Econs elearning and then, the most dreaded WR. =( Here's something I chanced upon on Yahoo Answers(the question someone was asking was 'Are women more successful than men today?') while researching for my GP discussion on Grameem Bank model and role of gender in poverty. Totally cracked me up.  Point effectively proven. Labels: Others |

Went with the team to watch the floorball finals at TSH today. Was looking forward to MJ getting double champs, so was quite disappointed when it wasn't so. It would have been something in favour of MJ. That's my belief, no offense to anyone who was supporting RJ. But oh well, MJ fought really well. RJ had the speed factor in them. They were damn fast. Last period, MJ fielded 5 players without a goalie. Oh my goodness, almost heart-attacked whenever RJ had the ball in MJ's half of the court. Oh, and for the girls finals, MJ got it. Yay, because they really deserves it. Good players and an imba captain. Lol. Almost met KC today because he was somewhere near TSH when he texted me, but it was too noisy for me to hear the message tone. By the time I replied him, he was already at Aljunied. Lol. Haven't seen him for so long. When I see him again, I'm going to tickle him until he rolls on the ground or something. KC, beware!!! Haha. My hands are itching to play floorball again. Too bad there aren't alot of places in Singapore where you can play floorball without worrying about damaging your blade. I haven't touch my stick(as in playing or practising, not literally) ever since our last match. =X Last weekend, took out my stick to 'admire', there was this small cobweb in one of the holes in my blade. -.- I quickly took my stick to the toilet and washed the blade. Lol. Haven't clean the black hand prints on my grip either. Nearly 2 weeks, I think the prints are permanent already. No, I won't let it happen to my clean white grip, I'll definitely clean the grip tomorrow. And, find time off my elearning and con the management to let me book the squash court for the wooden flooring to play my floorball. Yeah, it's against the rules to use the squash court for anything else besides squash. But I don't care, because that's the only place where I can play floorball. Just hope I don't get caught by the security guard patrolling. =X Okay, I'm tired. Shall go sleep now and rise early tomorrow to continue with elearning! ^^ Labels: Floorball, Friends |

Ignore that crazy post below. I was just being so flustered because we didn't have enough helpers at the last minute. Thank goodness, the pilot was, I would say, successful even though it was in a little mess initially but things slowly cleared up. Man, Primary One kids these days are so active. I got pinned to the wall by this boy who wanted to get the beanbag from my hand, I was like 'No, no, no...' and tiptoe-ing more and more with each no. Lol. The helpers and group members were so tired at the end of the pilot. Yes, a very big thank you to the helpers(Ah Cat, Wen Hui & Huiting) and to the teachers at Elias Park Pri School for making this pilot a success! Oh ya, shall blog about last Saturday. So we went to watch Springfield girls at their Div 2 match with Supernova. Although they lost, they still played very well. Have to admit that Supernova's super good. Haha. After watching, went for team lunch at Nihon Mura behind the sports hall. Then went walk-walk at TM. A group of TJC floorball girls in Toys'r'us hugging teddy bears(or dogs) at the soft toys section and throwing neon balls into the air only to have them hitting the lights, epic failure at attempting to play volleyball. Lol. Went to watch the 3rd & 4th placings match at the sports hall with Luowei and Farah today. Guys' match was super exciting and aggressive too. When you think a team is going to win, the other team will prove you wrong. VJ really displayed their strong fighting spirit, always catching up when they're down. By around mid-2nd period, they were down by 2, but still manage to catch up. VJ #4 is my role model! He was injured or something, and Farah said the big patch of red stuff on his jersey was his blood. Still played on for the rest of the match as if nothing happened. Just went to the Chemistry elearning discussion board and realised I'm the only one who put forth a different explanation from everyone else. Lol. I said that the phenomenon has gotten do with the air in the bottle while everyone says it's gotten do with the air in the ketchup packet. -.- Apparently, I'm quite wrong in my explanation, because it can't be that my whole class' wrong except me! My chem really needs some serious brushing up. PE also got elearning quiz?!?! I got 16/20 for it. Not bad right! Haha. Alright, I'm lagging behind by alot in my e-learning. Shall go continue with it! Or else, I'll be lagging by even more tomorrow because we're going to watch the floorball finals! Hee. =DDDD Labels: Floorball, PW, School |

AAAHHH!!!! There's not enough helpers for our pilot tomorrow!!! *pulls hair and goes crazy* AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Siao liao la~ Anyone interested in leading a group of 10 Primary One kids to play different traditional games at Elias Park Primary School from 1pm to 6pm tomorrow (21 June)? Just call or sms me! Please, I'm very desperate........for helpers. What were you thinking? Haha! =P Labels: PW, School |

Although this may be alittle late, but I still wanna congratulate the guys on their 5-1 win over IJC last Monday!!! Well done, guys! Goes to show that nobody gave up but instead, everyone put in their best even though it was their last match. TJFB fighting spirit will live on! The season may had been over, but I believe that whole team has gained invaluable experience from it. Victory belongs to those who refuse to stop fighting. A beautiful quote. That was what Coach pointed to on the banner at the RP sports complex after our last match. Was quite shocked to hear that Coach won't be coaching us anymore. Felt quite sad because I was hoping he would continue coaching us. I'm sure there are others who felt that same way as I did. Nevertheless, thank you Coach, Mr Tan, team and last but not least, the supporters for all the encouragements, cheers, and for telling us that our fighting spirit rocked, it really boosted our fighting spirit even more. Photos of our matches, dinner at Marina Sq's Secret Recipe and whatnots are all on Michelle's blog. *Warning: there's like 5 entries loaded full with pictures.* *** Had a haircut yesterday. I've been wanting to get one after A Div. The hairdresser was so nice and funny.
Result slip really sucked. BEEDS. Dad was like 'What?!? Ds and Es? And what's S?' Me: 'Subpass, means almost pass but never pass'. =X Then he was hollering to my mum, 'She failed her chemistry!' Then it was all that lecture about spending too much time on other stuffs instead of my schoolwork, blah. Then I couldn't go for Yingiet's birthday dinner tonight. Darn. The comments weren't any better than my results. There was always a hint of negative tone in the comments, except for those by Bio, GP, PW tutors. I don't know, 2 of my tutors said that I seem distracted at times. Do I? Or is it the blur look I always have on my face that makes them think I get distracted often? But miraculously, I passed Maths and Econs. For someone who has never passed her A Maths in secondary school except for O levels and has her demand and supply curves all mixed up, that's a very huge miracle! I'm always so lucky. Maybe I should change my name to Lucky Tan, 陈垃圾. LOL.
Was quite disappointed with my 2.4km timing. I was expecting something better, but oh well, what's over is over. 2.4km run was a huge drain on my energy level. Made me have a headache and couldn't focus on the lessons for the rest of day. By the last period of the day, Bio prac, I was in this semi-conscious present-physically-absent-psychologically state already, so blur that I didn't know what exactly to do for my experiment. Ended up asking Ah Cat and Pris on what to do. Then while waiting for my experiment to end 20 minutes later, I was sitting there, using Pris' scalpel and peeling potato skin. -.- Totally forgot that I had Maths to complete and hand in or could have done my experiment report.
Stayed back to draw Mr Tan's Birthday scrapbook. Happy Birthday, Mr Tan! I seriously have no artistic talent. My page was so ugly. Haha.
Alright, I'm tired already. Shall go sleep. Tomorrow will be seeing Coach and the Springfield girls at their Div 2 match! ^^ Labels: Floorball, School |
Sunday, July 13, 2008 2:36 PM
HARMONY
You look for areas of agreement. In your view there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so you seek to hold them to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views, you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims, and their fervently held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will willingly, in the service of harmony, modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do not clash with yours). When others start to argue about their pet theory or concept, you steer clear of the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which you can all agree. In your view we are all in the same boat, and we need this boat to get where we are going. It is a good boat. There is no need to rock it just to show that you can.
CONSISTENCY
Balance is important to you. You are keenly aware of the need to treat people the same, no matter what their station in life, so you do not want to see the scales tipped too far in any one person’s favor. In your view this leads to selfishness and individualism. It leads to a world where some people gain an unfair advantage because of their connections or their background or their greasing of the wheels. This is truly offensive to you. You see yourself as a guardian against it. In direct contrast to this world of special favors, you believe that people function best in a consistent environment where the rules are clear and are applied to everyone equally. This is an environment where people know what is expected. It is predictable and evenhanded. It is fair. Here each person has an even chance to show his or her worth.
INCLUDER
“Stretch the circle wider.” This is the philosophy around which you orient your life. You want to include people and make them feel part of the group. In direct contrast to those who are drawn only to exclusive groups, you actively avoid those groups that exclude others. You want to expand the group so that as many people as possible can benefit from its support. You hate the sight of someone on the outside looking in. You want to draw them in so that they can feel the warmth of the group. You are an instinctively accepting person. Regardless of race or sex or nationality or personality or faith, you cast few judgments. Judgments can hurt a person’s feelings. Why do that if you don’t have to? Your accepting nature does not necessarily rest on a belief that each of us is different and that one should respect these differences. Rather, it rests on your conviction that fundamentally we are all the same. We are all equally important. Thus, no one should be ignored. Each of us should be included. It is the least we all deserve.
LEARNER
You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”
RESPONSIBILITY
Your Responsibility theme forces you to take psychological ownership for anything you commit to, and whether large or small, you feel emotionally bound to follow it through to completion. Your good name depends on it. If for some reason you cannot deliver, you automatically start to look for ways to make it up to the other person. Apologies are not enough. Excuses and rationalizations are totally unacceptable. You will not quite be able to live with yourself until you have made restitution. This conscientiousness, this near obsession for doing things right, and your impeccable ethics, combine to create your reputation: utterly dependable. When assigning new responsibilities, people will look to you first because they know it will get done. When people come to you for help—and they soon will—you must be selective. Your willingness to volunteer may sometimes lead you to take on more than you should. Very accurate! But well, it's no wonder, because the school paid for us to take this StrengthsQuest quiz. Haha.

School ended at 12.30pm, came home because I didn't want to sleep anymore in the library. Sleeping makes me feel as though I'm very lazy and not doing anything productive. Not that blogging over here is productive. =P Yesterday's match was against RJC. Lost, but most of us thought it was a match well-played and that's the most important thing. At least we know that we've tried our best. But wasn't very satisfied with my own performance, rather, disappointment was more of the appropriate word to describe how I felt after the match. My performance kinda went plunging downwards like some kind of reactant concentration vs time graph. I couldn't intercept their board passes most of the time and had to be reminded by Coach several times, couldn't gain possession of the ball for long, couldn't even get into their half of the court much. Never knew my stamina was so bad, was already tiring out in the 2nd period as compared to MJ's match. I can't continue like this for tomorrow's match, need to snap out of it! On a lighter note, my lower lip is still swollen from the fall. Michelle said I look like I got kissed damn badly, Pinn Xian said I got a special love bite on my lips, Zhao Peng said I secretly kissed some RJ girls, Ah Cat told the rest of the 7 dwarfs that my 'boyfriend' accidentally bit me while kissing and they were laughing at me, Weiling said I am in a kissing mode yesterday and today(and omg, she puckered her lips and made me realise how hilarious I must have looked with that swollen lip). Only Naomi said I look like I was assaulted. Man, does my lip really look that bad that everyone who sees it thinks it has something to do with kissing? -.- Okay, in a way they were right, I did kiss...the floor. I'm still laughing whenever I think of what I did after I fell. Took about a second to recover from the inital shock, then I thought I broke my teeth or something because I could taste some blood. I used my tongue to 'sweep' through my teeth once, then my mind was screaming at me, "okay, still intact, now STAND UP AND GET YOUR DAMN STICK!!!". Yesterday was a really great day with the floorball girls. We were sharing super lame jokes all the way from school to RP and all those funny crazy stuffs at dinner like talking about our husbands(our sticks) as though they're real. All the laughters and the seriousness when expected. I'm proud of our team spirit, proud to be a TJ floorballer. 'United yet divided we stand, divided yet united we fall'. (took the modified quote because I don't quite like the original quote.) Cliche but true. Alright, I have to go change and get ready to go back to school for table tennis training now! Bye! =D Labels: Floorball |

Today marks the start of A Div for the floorball girls. Although we may have lost to MJC, I still think we played not too badly. I meant, even though we had this problem of 'freezing' once we got on-court, but could see that everyone gave their best, running as hard as they could, trying to hassle the ball from opponents as much as possible and shooting whenever they had the chance. Really, the great efforts that everyone put in are really commendable. "The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
A quote given by Vivien in the card given by seniors. And it's funny that I never realised that the weight of my body for the 'Charlie's Angels wall' should be placed on the front foot until Coach pointed it out after the match. No wonder I had problems getting up fast from my kneeling position and moving towards the opponent. Always felt as if there was something dragging me from behind. Could it be...an ghost from opponent team? No, must be my fat butt pulling me down! Hahaha! Went for lunchner(lunch-dinner) with the team at Simei's Eighteen Chefs after we got back to school. We had complementary fried finger food and what you call that? The strawberry-funky-dunnowhat-ice-cream. Haha. Lunchner was fun with all the chatters, then went Sportslink to take a look at the team bag. This weekend will be quite a packed one even though it's a longer weekend than the usual. There's loads of PW stuffs to be done tomorrow, buying of the materials required for the pilot. I hope that the request for the pilot venue will quickly be approved! Sunday will be spent doing whatever homework I have. And on Monday will be training, meeting up with the girls and PW video recording. Why do I have a feeling that things will clash on Monday and I'll end up forgoing something to go for another? Lol. Alright, I'm tired already, shall go zzZZZ now! Goodnight!

My butt has always been big but never had I have any trouble with it, until today. Assembly, attire check. Mrs Beetsma said my skirt was too short?!?! Anyone can see that my skirt isn't short but she always insisted it was, right from Day 1. So 17/08's teacher came over to our class. Apparently, there was something like peer-checking. The teachers checked one another's classes. So the teacher was like 'Hmm, your skirt looks alright from the front, but alittle short at the back'. So I said, 'cher, my butt big, that's why.' So she said, 'Oh, when you put on weight, your skirt gets shorter.' See, she shares the same sentiments as me. And I swear I don't fold my skirt, it's really my butt's problem. Even when I'm wearing a skirt, you can see that my butt's really huge. Then the girls were laughing away. Was telling them that if I had a nice prominent butt, it's still okay, but problem is, I have a huge butt, not a prominent butt! Then this other teacher came just when Ah Cat was asking me, 'How come the teachers here don't catch people with dyed hair?', and guess what, she got caught by him. Lol. He kind of suspected me too, but after inspecting further, he decided it was natural. At table tennis training today too, Coach was pointing out my mistakes a few times, '康妮，又再用屁股！' Omg, embarrassing. Then Coach demo-ed what I was doing, damn funny and exaggerated, but embarrassing too. But I think my performance today was much better than last Tuesday. =) Oh yeah, Mr Tan came to train us too. Really, I feel like chopping off my butt. Hahaha, but the idea seems too hilarious. School ended at 12.30pm for me today, then I decided to go home so that I can continue watching Fated To Love You. Watched episode 17, and oh my gawd, almost died while watching. Damn hot scene. I kind of wished they would continue to make another mistake. Hehe. =P Then the story would have a happy ending. But no, the guy had to fall so sick that he dozed off without hearing what the girl had to say. -.- Argh, felt like killing the scriptwriter, whoever he is. Labels: Others |

Today was the down-in-the-dumps kind of day. It started off with an argument with my mum in the morning over some money matters while I was in a frenzy, trying to print my PI research materials before rushing off for school. She was the one who started it, making such a big fuss over something so trivial. She's the one being so unreasonable. It's not like we can't afford it, it's not like I'm being extravagant, it's not like I didn't explain to her the reason behind my request, it's not like I'm using it for something unimportant, because it is, in fact, for something very important, and it's not like she doesn't know how important it is. I was so frustrated that I yelled back at her, I swear I'd woken up the neighbours. Left for school in Dad's car in a foul mood. And darn, what I encountered while waiting for assembly to start worsened my already-rotten mood. Sometimes I wonder why I'm so smart to be at the wrong places at the wrong times. NAPHA was pretty alright. Only thing that lifted up my spirits alittle was doing a personal record for sit-ups and Mr Tan, the new PE teacher who often joins in our table tennis training. He was nice and funny. Before we started the sit-ups item, he was like 'Connie, 40 ah!' Embarrassing because getting a 31 is already quite huge an achievement for me. But funnily, his encouragement did work. I did a 41. While doing, I was thinking to myself, 'Mr Tan wants a 40, prove it to him that you can', and somehow, I managed to drag my body up quicker and faster until the 1 minute was up because I didn't want to feel embarrassed. Lessons were mediocre. But was feeling quite tired. Kinda dozed off during GP lecture. Contact time was quite good. Actually planned to sleep during it, but didn't, because the acapella group was really good. Then went for floorball. Was looking forward to playing. But there were some miscommunication, I guess. So some of us were playing catch-ball for awhile and trying out some goalkeeper moves. Lol. Then got to play a small match with the Taiwanese students from the Taiwan Immersion Programme. It was actually a floorball clinic for them. I assisted Xin Hui, the Taiwanese who looks like KC. I must be missing him too much. LOL. Can imagine his ego inflating at an exponential rate while reading this. Haha. Anyway, Xin Hui's goal was super nice! =DC. Was quite comfortable with talking to him despite meeting him for the first time today and Taiwanese somemore! Since when was I comfortable with speaking to someone I don't really know well and speaking my lousy Chinese infront of a native speaker? Guess he resembled KC too much, that's why. Lol. Speaking of KC, I wonder when I'll be seeing KC and Co., and the girls. I hope I'll be able to make it after Sports Appreciation Ceremony next friday. Anyway, after everything ended, it was desserts at the opposite market with some of the girls. Felt so helpless when I read the sms at the bus stop. Somehow, I don't want to know the true reason, I'm afraid that it'll be so hurtful that I can never look at that person in the same way again. I want to help so much, but I can't think of anything I can do. =( Yesterday's evening wasn't any better than today. Performance at table tennis training sucked like hell. Couldn't do the ' las' correctly. Either I was too fast in moving, or too slow, or I dipped my bat too low, or my position was really off. Not one was correctly done. Coach used me many times for examples to point out my mistakes. I'm perfectly alright with it, but it goes to show that I wasn't practising what he had taught. I need to change that. Felt so bad towards Zhihao because I was practising with him and I played like shit, while he was trying hard to receive every ball even though I wasn't exactly hitting them to the right positions. It's seldom that I have an emo post. But today really sucked right to the core. Sorry, I didn't mean to blog an emo entry but I can't help it.

Man, what a toot I was. Just realised that I actually have KBS World on cable tv all this while. To think that I was begging my mum for months to let me get that Korean channel once the contract is up. -.- Anyway, I think I'll probably stick my butt to the sofa and glue my eyes to the tv screen from now on. It'll be less internet for me but more korean dramas and sitcoms! Dad got my sis a Samsung Omnia yesterday. Super nice, even though I was telling her to wait for the iPhone instead. And I'm super jealous now. But oh well, she had her share earlier this year so that makes us quits now. And I still have my long-awaited KBS World, nothing else matters. Muahahaha. This ricebucket here ate 2 bowls of rice last night after not having rice for one whole day. I like the feeling of stuffing alot of rice into my mouth, and food taste especially nice if you eat with alot of rice. So next time if there's shortage of veggies, meat or anything, just give me rice and I'll still be happy and full. Haha. Had chilled double-boiled milk for desserts, super nice. At first I wanted the hot one, then the waitress said that I need to wait 20min for it, I 'huhh...' abit too loudly, my bro turned to stare at me, I think some people from other tables did too. Lol. Alright, I'm done with bumming around, time to continue with Maths elearning. Mr Ang sent me 2 smses last thursday and friday demanding that I start on Maths. Gave me a shock of my life, I swear my heart nearly skipped a beat while reading his messages. I didn't know that he would go track us. Wanted to leave Maths to the last because I know I'll have a hard time understanding. Ahhh, can't talk anymore! Loads of things to do! Labels: Others, Random |

I don't and will never regret running for floorball exco. It had been a great experience. I've never given any kind of speech in the entire 17 years of my life(now you know what a bum I was in pri & sec school), so today was my first. I would say it took me a whole lot of courage to up there in front of the whole floorball team, guys and girls, giving a nomination speech. Even an interview by Mrs Loke last year didn't seem so daunting. Lol. I think I did pretty well in my speech, except for the occasional stutterings, erms, ers. Okay, maybe using the word occasional is an understatement, my speech was more like, full of stutterings. Haha. The girls said I looked like I was about to cry. Oh my, did I really? Lol. I swear I wasn't, I was just trying to think of what I'm going to say next. But like I said, it was a good experience hyperventilating and freaking out on whether I should bring my script up, what's the next sentence I'm going say, whether I'm making any sense in my talking...etc. Some of you reading this must be like, 'What?!?! It's just a speech!" But it's not 'just a speech' for me, it's 'The First Speech'. Well, at least I know I won't freak out that much the next time I'm asked to make a speech. Haha! Like what I told Ju Yee, even though I may not be in the Exco, I'll definitely still continue to give my very best in floorball. Being in Exco or not, does not and will never change my passion in, commitment and devotion to floorball. And whatever I've said today about striving to do well in my PDPs and studies, I'll definitely still keep to that too. I have one very personal goal for floorball. I think it's a very funny and super malu one. I've never mention it to anyone, neither is it written in my journal in invisible ink. Until I achieve it, it shall not be disclosed. =P Congratulations to the new Exco! Must bring us to greater heights! Make us taller! Lol. Everyone have faith in you all, so must bring us to heights so great that any higher, we'll all have our heads in outer space! =D And for all who are not in the Exco, please don't be dismayed! Continue to do your best for floorball. Like what Kenneth and Beale said, you don't have to be in the Exco to contribute to the team! To Vivien and Ju Yee, thank you for the wonderful guidance in these 6 months or so. We really learnt alot. You all did a great job despite having to be the captains, vice-captains, treasurers and quartermistresses all at the same time. That's defintiely not something easy. Once again, thank you!

Had an orthodontic appointment yesterday. My dentist got changed again. She's also very nice. I'm always so lucky to meet nice people. Anyway, was late for like 20 minutes, and I think it was supposed to be her breaktime or something, felt so guilty for taking away her breaktime. =X And all she did was to remind me gently to be on time the next time. Then she saw the floorball on my bag, she asked me what's that. Told her it's a floorball, and she asked whether it's something you play with a stick, like hockey. Explained to her it's quite similar, and assured her that the stick can't be raised above the waist level because she was quite worried that I would get whacked on my teeth. Lol. Holey stuffs really seem arouse interest among people. The other time, this lady who lives in my residence saw me holding my stick, and she was quite curious about the holey blade and what sports I play. Again, she recognises that it's similar to hockey. So floorball isn't that underrated in Singapore afterall because people know such a sport exists and roughly how it is played. I digressed quite abit. But yeah, in a few months' time, it'll be goodbye braces, hello retainers! Looking forward to that! =D Went Pasir Ris Park in the evening, I hereby proclaim, I CAN SWING ON THE SWING!!! I was swinging so high that I almost did a 360. Okay, that's exaggeration, but you get my point. That's for Zhiying and Shanmin because they were always so amazed that I can't swing on a swing. Now I can, let's have a challenge at Tanah Merah playground sometime! =P Just completed my GP discussion. Mine looks like an essay, man, I'm going to have a hard time finding something else for the presentation next week because whatever I can say is already in my discussion. Lol. Guess what, I was trying to post my discussion just now, then there was so many weird characters, so I deleted them one by one. When I got to the last question, then I suddenly remember matrix2's first page said something like don't copy and paste from microsoft words, use notepad instead. Arghh!!! Wasted half an hour highlighting and backspacing like some fool! And guess what again, I didn't do the chem online quiz yesterday. I thought they were taking it down at 12midnight so at 10.06pm, I went to matrix2 and click on it, 'eh, how come cannot click?'. Read carefully, 'The quiz will no longer be accessible after 10.00pm'. Die. I've been having maggi mee for lunch for 3 days straight already! Mum decided maggi mee was the easiest to prepare since I'm the only one at home while my siblings are all in school. Maggi mee = fattening! Finally, a change today! Mum told me she's not cooking any lunch. Lol, can only eat biscuits from the cupboards. But in any way, biscuits are still better than maggi mee. I realised there's still alot of things I haven't done, like WR! Alright, shall go practise some piano first before doing Econs elearning and then, the most dreaded WR. =( Here's something I chanced upon on Yahoo Answers(the question someone was asking was 'Are women more successful than men today?') while researching for my GP discussion on Grameem Bank model and role of gender in poverty. Totally cracked me up. Point effectively proven. Labels: Others |

Went with the team to watch the floorball finals at TSH today. Was looking forward to MJ getting double champs, so was quite disappointed when it wasn't so. It would have been something in favour of MJ. That's my belief, no offense to anyone who was supporting RJ. But oh well, MJ fought really well. RJ had the speed factor in them. They were damn fast. Last period, MJ fielded 5 players without a goalie. Oh my goodness, almost heart-attacked whenever RJ had the ball in MJ's half of the court. Oh, and for the girls finals, MJ got it. Yay, because they really deserves it. Good players and an imba captain. Lol. Almost met KC today because he was somewhere near TSH when he texted me, but it was too noisy for me to hear the message tone. By the time I replied him, he was already at Aljunied. Lol. Haven't seen him for so long. When I see him again, I'm going to tickle him until he rolls on the ground or something. KC, beware!!! Haha. My hands are itching to play floorball again. Too bad there aren't alot of places in Singapore where you can play floorball without worrying about damaging your blade. I haven't touch my stick(as in playing or practising, not literally) ever since our last match. =X Last weekend, took out my stick to 'admire', there was this small cobweb in one of the holes in my blade. -.- I quickly took my stick to the toilet and washed the blade. Lol. Haven't clean the black hand prints on my grip either. Nearly 2 weeks, I think the prints are permanent already. No, I won't let it happen to my clean white grip, I'll definitely clean the grip tomorrow. And, find time off my elearning and con the management to let me book the squash court for the wooden flooring to play my floorball. Yeah, it's against the rules to use the squash court for anything else besides squash. But I don't care, because that's the only place where I can play floorball. Just hope I don't get caught by the security guard patrolling. =X Okay, I'm tired. Shall go sleep now and rise early tomorrow to continue with elearning! ^^ Labels: Floorball, Friends |

Ignore that crazy post below. I was just being so flustered because we didn't have enough helpers at the last minute. Thank goodness, the pilot was, I would say, successful even though it was in a little mess initially but things slowly cleared up. Man, Primary One kids these days are so active. I got pinned to the wall by this boy who wanted to get the beanbag from my hand, I was like 'No, no, no...' and tiptoe-ing more and more with each no. Lol. The helpers and group members were so tired at the end of the pilot. Yes, a very big thank you to the helpers(Ah Cat, Wen Hui & Huiting) and to the teachers at Elias Park Pri School for making this pilot a success! Oh ya, shall blog about last Saturday. So we went to watch Springfield girls at their Div 2 match with Supernova. Although they lost, they still played very well. Have to admit that Supernova's super good. Haha. After watching, went for team lunch at Nihon Mura behind the sports hall. Then went walk-walk at TM. A group of TJC floorball girls in Toys'r'us hugging teddy bears(or dogs) at the soft toys section and throwing neon balls into the air only to have them hitting the lights, epic failure at attempting to play volleyball. Lol. Went to watch the 3rd & 4th placings match at the sports hall with Luowei and Farah today. Guys' match was super exciting and aggressive too. When you think a team is going to win, the other team will prove you wrong. VJ really displayed their strong fighting spirit, always catching up when they're down. By around mid-2nd period, they were down by 2, but still manage to catch up. VJ #4 is my role model! He was injured or something, and Farah said the big patch of red stuff on his jersey was his blood. Still played on for the rest of the match as if nothing happened. Just went to the Chemistry elearning discussion board and realised I'm the only one who put forth a different explanation from everyone else. Lol. I said that the phenomenon has gotten do with the air in the bottle while everyone says it's gotten do with the air in the ketchup packet. -.- Apparently, I'm quite wrong in my explanation, because it can't be that my whole class' wrong except me! My chem really needs some serious brushing up. PE also got elearning quiz?!?! I got 16/20 for it. Not bad right! Haha. Alright, I'm lagging behind by alot in my e-learning. Shall go continue with it! Or else, I'll be lagging by even more tomorrow because we're going to watch the floorball finals! Hee. =DDDD Labels: Floorball, PW, School |

AAAHHH!!!! There's not enough helpers for our pilot tomorrow!!! *pulls hair and goes crazy* AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Siao liao la~ Anyone interested in leading a group of 10 Primary One kids to play different traditional games at Elias Park Primary School from 1pm to 6pm tomorrow (21 June)? Just call or sms me! Please, I'm very desperate........for helpers. What were you thinking? Haha! =P Labels: PW, School |

Although this may be alittle late, but I still wanna congratulate the guys on their 5-1 win over IJC last Monday!!! Well done, guys! Goes to show that nobody gave up but instead, everyone put in their best even though it was their last match. TJFB fighting spirit will live on! The season may had been over, but I believe that whole team has gained invaluable experience from it. Victory belongs to those who refuse to stop fighting. A beautiful quote. That was what Coach pointed to on the banner at the RP sports complex after our last match. Was quite shocked to hear that Coach won't be coaching us anymore. Felt quite sad because I was hoping he would continue coaching us. I'm sure there are others who felt that same way as I did. Nevertheless, thank you Coach, Mr Tan, team and last but not least, the supporters for all the encouragements, cheers, and for telling us that our fighting spirit rocked, it really boosted our fighting spirit even more. Photos of our matches, dinner at Marina Sq's Secret Recipe and whatnots are all on Michelle's blog. *Warning: there's like 5 entries loaded full with pictures.* *** Had a haircut yesterday. I've been wanting to get one after A Div. The hairdresser was so nice and funny.
Result slip really sucked. BEEDS. Dad was like 'What?!? Ds and Es? And what's S?' Me: 'Subpass, means almost pass but never pass'. =X Then he was hollering to my mum, 'She failed her chemistry!' Then it was all that lecture about spending too much time on other stuffs instead of my schoolwork, blah. Then I couldn't go for Yingiet's birthday dinner tonight. Darn. The comments weren't any better than my results. There was always a hint of negative tone in the comments, except for those by Bio, GP, PW tutors. I don't know, 2 of my tutors said that I seem distracted at times. Do I? Or is it the blur look I always have on my face that makes them think I get distracted often? But miraculously, I passed Maths and Econs. For someone who has never passed her A Maths in secondary school except for O levels and has her demand and supply curves all mixed up, that's a very huge miracle! I'm always so lucky. Maybe I should change my name to Lucky Tan, 陈垃圾. LOL.
Was quite disappointed with my 2.4km timing. I was expecting something better, but oh well, what's over is over. 2.4km run was a huge drain on my energy level. Made me have a headache and couldn't focus on the lessons for the rest of day. By the last period of the day, Bio prac, I was in this semi-conscious present-physically-absent-psychologically state already, so blur that I didn't know what exactly to do for my experiment. Ended up asking Ah Cat and Pris on what to do. Then while waiting for my experiment to end 20 minutes later, I was sitting there, using Pris' scalpel and peeling potato skin. -.- Totally forgot that I had Maths to complete and hand in or could have done my experiment report.
Stayed back to draw Mr Tan's Birthday scrapbook. Happy Birthday, Mr Tan! I seriously have no artistic talent. My page was so ugly. Haha.
Alright, I'm tired already. Shall go sleep. Tomorrow will be seeing Coach and the Springfield girls at their Div 2 match! ^^ Labels: Floorball, School |
Sunday, July 13, 2008 2:36 PM
HARMONY
You look for areas of agreement. In your view there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so you seek to hold them to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views, you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims, and their fervently held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will willingly, in the service of harmony, modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do not clash with yours). When others start to argue about their pet theory or concept, you steer clear of the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which you can all agree. In your view we are all in the same boat, and we need this boat to get where we are going. It is a good boat. There is no need to rock it just to show that you can.
CONSISTENCY
Balance is important to you. You are keenly aware of the need to treat people the same, no matter what their station in life, so you do not want to see the scales tipped too far in any one person’s favor. In your view this leads to selfishness and individualism. It leads to a world where some people gain an unfair advantage because of their connections or their background or their greasing of the wheels. This is truly offensive to you. You see yourself as a guardian against it. In direct contrast to this world of special favors, you believe that people function best in a consistent environment where the rules are clear and are applied to everyone equally. This is an environment where people know what is expected. It is predictable and evenhanded. It is fair. Here each person has an even chance to show his or her worth.
INCLUDER
“Stretch the circle wider.” This is the philosophy around which you orient your life. You want to include people and make them feel part of the group. In direct contrast to those who are drawn only to exclusive groups, you actively avoid those groups that exclude others. You want to expand the group so that as many people as possible can benefit from its support. You hate the sight of someone on the outside looking in. You want to draw them in so that they can feel the warmth of the group. You are an instinctively accepting person. Regardless of race or sex or nationality or personality or faith, you cast few judgments. Judgments can hurt a person’s feelings. Why do that if you don’t have to? Your accepting nature does not necessarily rest on a belief that each of us is different and that one should respect these differences. Rather, it rests on your conviction that fundamentally we are all the same. We are all equally important. Thus, no one should be ignored. Each of us should be included. It is the least we all deserve.
LEARNER
You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”
RESPONSIBILITY
Your Responsibility theme forces you to take psychological ownership for anything you commit to, and whether large or small, you feel emotionally bound to follow it through to completion. Your good name depends on it. If for some reason you cannot deliver, you automatically start to look for ways to make it up to the other person. Apologies are not enough. Excuses and rationalizations are totally unacceptable. You will not quite be able to live with yourself until you have made restitution. This conscientiousness, this near obsession for doing things right, and your impeccable ethics, combine to create your reputation: utterly dependable. When assigning new responsibilities, people will look to you first because they know it will get done. When people come to you for help—and they soon will—you must be selective. Your willingness to volunteer may sometimes lead you to take on more than you should. Very accurate! But well, it's no wonder, because the school paid for us to take this StrengthsQuest quiz. Haha.

School ended at 12.30pm, came home because I didn't want to sleep anymore in the library. Sleeping makes me feel as though I'm very lazy and not doing anything productive. Not that blogging over here is productive. =P Yesterday's match was against RJC. Lost, but most of us thought it was a match well-played and that's the most important thing. At least we know that we've tried our best. But wasn't very satisfied with my own performance, rather, disappointment was more of the appropriate word to describe how I felt after the match. My performance kinda went plunging downwards like some kind of reactant concentration vs time graph. I couldn't intercept their board passes most of the time and had to be reminded by Coach several times, couldn't gain possession of the ball for long, couldn't even get into their half of the court much. Never knew my stamina was so bad, was already tiring out in the 2nd period as compared to MJ's match. I can't continue like this for tomorrow's match, need to snap out of it! On a lighter note, my lower lip is still swollen from the fall. Michelle said I look like I got kissed damn badly, Pinn Xian said I got a special love bite on my lips, Zhao Peng said I secretly kissed some RJ girls, Ah Cat told the rest of the 7 dwarfs that my 'boyfriend' accidentally bit me while kissing and they were laughing at me, Weiling said I am in a kissing mode yesterday and today(and omg, she puckered her lips and made me realise how hilarious I must have looked with that swollen lip). Only Naomi said I look like I was assaulted. Man, does my lip really look that bad that everyone who sees it thinks it has something to do with kissing? -.- Okay, in a way they were right, I did kiss...the floor. I'm still laughing whenever I think of what I did after I fell. Took about a second to recover from the inital shock, then I thought I broke my teeth or something because I could taste some blood. I used my tongue to 'sweep' through my teeth once, then my mind was screaming at me, "okay, still intact, now STAND UP AND GET YOUR DAMN STICK!!!". Yesterday was a really great day with the floorball girls. We were sharing super lame jokes all the way from school to RP and all those funny crazy stuffs at dinner like talking about our husbands(our sticks) as though they're real. All the laughters and the seriousness when expected. I'm proud of our team spirit, proud to be a TJ floorballer. 'United yet divided we stand, divided yet united we fall'. (took the modified quote because I don't quite like the original quote.) Cliche but true. Alright, I have to go change and get ready to go back to school for table tennis training now! Bye! =D Labels: Floorball |

Today marks the start of A Div for the floorball girls. Although we may have lost to MJC, I still think we played not too badly. I meant, even though we had this problem of 'freezing' once we got on-court, but could see that everyone gave their best, running as hard as they could, trying to hassle the ball from opponents as much as possible and shooting whenever they had the chance. Really, the great efforts that everyone put in are really commendable. "The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi
A quote given by Vivien in the card given by seniors. And it's funny that I never realised that the weight of my body for the 'Charlie's Angels wall' should be placed on the front foot until Coach pointed it out after the match. No wonder I had problems getting up fast from my kneeling position and moving towards the opponent. Always felt as if there was something dragging me from behind. Could it be...an ghost from opponent team? No, must be my fat butt pulling me down! Hahaha! Went for lunchner(lunch-dinner) with the team at Simei's Eighteen Chefs after we got back to school. We had complementary fried finger food and what you call that? The strawberry-funky-dunnowhat-ice-cream. Haha. Lunchner was fun with all the chatters, then went Sportslink to take a look at the team bag. This weekend will be quite a packed one even though it's a longer weekend than the usual. There's loads of PW stuffs to be done tomorrow, buying of the materials required for the pilot. I hope that the request for the pilot venue will quickly be approved! Sunday will be spent doing whatever homework I have. And on Monday will be training, meeting up with the girls and PW video recording. Why do I have a feeling that things will clash on Monday and I'll end up forgoing something to go for another? Lol. Alright, I'm tired already, shall go zzZZZ now! Goodnight!

First of all, I'm a Kpop fan, especially of 2PM, MBLAQ, 2NE1 and FT Island. Actually, I like Kpop, Korean entertainment, Korean dramas, Korean language, Korean culture, Korean food, basically anything Korean. So I guess you can call me a fan of Korea.
Second, eating is one of my favourite pastimes. I think my size says it all. =P I'm not picky about food but there's only one thing that I don't like eating, that is, sweet potato.
Third, I love sports. Been playing table tennis for about 6 years now, and floorball, 2 years. But I would have to say that I like floorball more. I don't know, but putting the ball into the goal, making an accurate pass, chasing after the ball, even sweating like a pig, gives me the sense of satisfaction that nothing else can.
Fourth, I can't live without the Internet. You can take away my phone, TV, mp3, bed, but please don't take away my Internet because...I just can't live without the internet.
Lastly, if there's anything I dislike, it would have to be making decisions. Where to go, what to eat, what to do next, which is nicer/better...I just don't like deciding. I always leave it to others because honestly, it doesn't matter where we're going, what we're eating or what we're doing to do. What matters most is the company and whether we're having a great time together.
