dunno what's wrong with my laptop.. hai.. Really need to send it for repair.. =(

Anyway, my contract with W.o.o.d.l.a.n.d.s R.i.n.g S.e.c. has ended. Really gonna miss them so much.. Last two weeks i sent so much time with them, going for competition together, trainings, striving to win,... Seriously, if one asks me what is the most important thing I taught them this near one year, I would say, mental strength. Of course I taught them basics, strategies, runs, court work, etc BUT what touches me the most is how they improved in their mental strength.. From easily giving up if losing in first quarter until now, even if it's the LAST 2 min, they never gave up! That's how we got our wins with PLMGS draw-down1-draw-win2 or temasek sec when it was draw-draw-draw-win3. it's the fighting spirit, the never-say-die attitude. I was taught when I was a player to play each match with a no regrets attitude.. As long as we played our best, even if we lost, we can come out of the court with no regrets and pride. =) I taught them the same thing.. and we came a long way from a nothing school since the school started years back until now when we got THIRD in the second tier school challenge..
I'm very proud of them.. Surely gonna miss them so much.. At least I left the school leaving not just the first medal in their netball history but an attitude that will follow them for life..

My girls...

The trophy. =)


Thank God for the opportunity to have W.R.S.S as the first school I coached. =)

Have been such a long while since i blogged. Very busy and tiring. As every uni student would know, this is the peak period which presentations and essays are due. For me, I've worked till 1-3am for a few times just trying to finish everything before deadline. Now, two more to go! One of which is due tmr morning. Haha.. dead. =)

Although we are bored in class, we do silly stuff and this is what suping did to the children cancer ribbon.




Anyhow, still coaching and giving tuition. Very glad that my netball girls are improving not just on the technical side but mentally. The game that we played on monday was a tough one but they held on and pushed themselves and really had the desire to win. Stronger mentally now. I'm contented that with my contract ending in April, I am able to see them come to this stage and this mental strength can follow them in other things they do. Thank God for helping me with them all these while. =)

Have been spending quite some time with esther recently and I really liked it! =) All the times we chatted, shared about what God has done, how good He is, what we can do for Him, etc, lift my spirit up! It is really important to have Christian friends to share and they can be fun to hang out with! haha.. at least i think esther has never really bored me before! haha.. Though uncle William said she's crazy. (I think maybe the other way round more true..haha.. =))
Last night, esther, wendy and i went to coffeebean to eat and chat! though it was nearly for near 2hrs, it was really enjoyable.. It has been so long since I get to sit down, relax, hang out and chill.. Busy schedule shall not consume me!! grr.. =) Then Wilson and elvin joined us. Also fun! =)
Elvin has a cat now!! His name is jack jack. He is reaaaaally cute. only 3mths old. This is the second wk since we brought it back from S-P-C-A. We had net at elvin's place last wk and everyone liked it! =) Qian Hui even requested to have net at elvin's again cos she misses jack jack! haha... It's really different to have a cat in the house. Each time I visit, I can just cuddle it on my lap while i watch tv or read my notes. Even when I cooked in the kitchen, it will just walk between my legs or rub its face on my ankle. Super cute.. =)
