[ Quotes ]
All our lives we search for someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance the song of heartbreak and hope all the while,wondering if somewhere,somehow there is someone searching for us.
~~~
Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.
~~~
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Hey! Haha.. Ponned school today. Wouldn't miss much anyway.. Just two lectures which I can easily read up on. Training yesterday was quite mad. It would be totally crazy if I tried my best, lah. Apparently I didn't give my out most efforts but nevertheless feel very accomplished.
Okay. How does 9 km sound? Not too sure 'bout my calculation, lah. 400 m warm up, 2.8 run. Pyramid - 50 jog, 50sprint, 50 jog, 50 sprint, 100 jog, 100 sprint, 100 jog ,100 sprint, 200 jog, 200 sprint, 300 jog, 300 sprint, 400 jog, 400 sprint, 300 jog, 300 sprint, 200 jog, 200 sprint, 100 jog, 100 sprint, 50 jog, 50 sprint, 50 jog, 50 sprint. 200 m warm down. After that, we did Fartleg. The first set consist of ten of 8 seconds sprints, 22 seconds jog. Second, ten of 6 seconds sprints, 24 seconds jog. Third, likewise 2nd. And one round of cool down. I ran 6 rounds I think. The rest ran one more than me cause they lapped me, haha.
That should be about 9 km in total plus minus a few hundred metres. Others did 400 m more. Yea. Oh we had conditionings after that as well.
Well, that's training. Hope you guys aren't bored with my training entries. I ain't boasting or anything k.. Just want to feel super accomplished after all the hard work.
Love Y'all!

I'm probably the most unattractive girl in school. Haha. I'm really Bochap 'bout my looks anyway... So heck.
Fitness tomorrow. Going through it during that time of the month is indescribly torturous. Why did you sin, Eve? You made all of your kind suffer after you! Boo hoo.. J/k.
This week rocks.
In a dilemma, should I go to Melbourne in June or Augest?!!

Hey all. Since Nette wasn't present at training yesterday, I shall do the describing of what we did. An overview: We run 7.2 km in total throughout the training. Did sprints and conditioning too.
So there we were at the Oldham Wing awaiting our nightmare, never knowing that we were not only about to run 2.4 but also using the results for PFT. So I guess many people had to deal with more pressure (not me! harhar). So we ran. I tried to catch up with Alina but Wa Lao. Yes, I came in last again, timing of 13.34 (I think). Am happy. So we rested for about 10 minutes or so.
Then we had to do the Pyramid, i.e. jog 100, sprint 100, jog 200, sprint 200, jog 300, sprint 300, jog 400, sprint 400, jog 400, sprint 400, jog 300, sprint 300, jog 200, sprint 200, jog 100, sprint 100. That in total was ten rounds of non-stop running, including striding/sprinting. Were we dead by then.
Ok, we did Suicide after that. 3 sets. The one where you sprint one third and back, two thirds and back, full court and back non-stop. I really really wanted to run the best I could for the first one, but you know sometimes your legs just don't listen to your brain? I came in last for the first set and was made to run the second set with a few others. Before that I just couldn't bring myself to the line cause inside I felt like crying so much. Those I-want-to-do-it-but-just-can't situation. Yea. We finished it in the end. Some people were wheezing while some were aching on the butt after that. Man! The crap Netballers go through.
We were so relieve we had only conditioning left. Which was a piece of cake, liao.
Yup. 7.2 km excluding Suicides and conditioning.
That's training life.
I met my Sneakers darlings that night for 19s meeting. Walao, Janzs and Phae are dropping out. So sad, lah! Yea, and I received a bad news then - one of my Sneakers' pals' parent passed away. Went to his wake after the meeting. Hope we cheered her up a bit. Life is just SOO unpredictable.
Reached home at 11++.

Hey y'all. Bleah.. What a tiring week. Well, camp was quite bad for me. The sun was extremely bad throughout the day, we had three trainings per day for two days for your info. Thank God man.. The camp could have been a lot worse, fortunately Ms Tan showed tonsa mercy. Just one proper fitness training instead of three. I figured that I'm the laziest person in the team, I think I beat Phae. Haha I'm really happy with the team cause we've really learnt a lot during the four days. As GK I could see most of the improvements, man. So glad.
Sigh, I really have a very weak mind. Can't believe I got the "strongest mind" cloth last year in B Div. Realised that I get affected by the smallest things like the freaking sun and the fact the my stamina is the worst. Like during training under the hot sun, I hardly even try to persevere in the weather or rather climate. And I don't even try to improve my 2.4 run because I had accepted the "fact" that I was bad at it (you see, I always come in last in Netball). My freaking attitude sucks. And you see others trying SO hard but yet not able to get into the team. It's 'bout time I stop taking my talent for granted. ARGH! But it's so hard!! Boo hoo. I look up to those who never gives up.
Yea. Just watched A Walk To Remember. No matter how many times I've watched it, it never fails to make me sob. It's just the saddest movie, lah.
Sigh, am I glad to be home.
Oh yea.. AC NETBALLERS! We rock!

Yea. Fell sick this week. Well, not really, but enough to get me excused from fitness training(heeheee). Man, I suck. Just realised that I wouldn't have the same classmates when school starts. If there's going to be a big shuffle of classes, I've gotten reluctantly socialise with new people again. It gets so tiring. Haha.
Training camp starts tomorrow. I'm probably the only one (besides Jansz) who looks forward to it. Well, of course I hate to train three to four times a day for four days but I'm excited to spend time with my teammates. The lazing around, whines and muscles aches we have can actually create comical scenes. Ok, am I weird or what. I'm glad I'm thinking positively. It makes things a whole lot better (speaking from experience).
Had selections on yesterday. Shan't talk too much about it. Just elated to meet my darling Sneakers' pals. Love them tons. Sadly we weren't able to play together, Eddie! But we will, soon. =D
Well... I believe LOVE makes the world go round.

Everytime I cry, the song So You Would Come immediately comes to my mind especially the sentence "every tear you cry, is precious to His eyes". Often I wonder if it's true. Why on Earth would His plans make us sad if it's going to upset Him as well? I love my Jesus. For He is wiling to bear all the blame, hatred, sadness, tiredness and anger when He plans for our lives. This is God.

One thing to say about the release of results, GOD IS GOOD. Nope, I didn't do all that well but I know that he's good. 12 points. Was hoping for better but I guess I should be thankful. Think most of my friends are happy with their results, that pleases me too. Those who aren't, it could be your expectations for your lack in efforts, but whatever the case, it's over and no point looking back. Don't waste you energy being upset. Put the past where it belongs.
Everyone's going to die anyway.
