gearing up

so, the presentation went quite smoothly yesterday. but there's still lots to be done for the actual one two weeks later. everyone looked great in their formal wear:) 'cept for me. hah. smhow the nerves din get to me during the presentation.. hopefully it means sth impt:)

a much better game last night:> got a couple of far shots in, lucky i should say, cos the court lights were so blinding.. i think i gotta get my eyes checked again, can hanrdly see the faces at the other end of the court.. ain't gd at all. felt tight tugs in the chest, another trip to the doc nseems unavoidable.. my sis's right. im slowly breaking up. n my mom. spot on too. 'you're like an old woman'

yeah back to the game. sante fe's players were very aggressive. took chances with every ball. but i guess, we played a better game n outdid them. we got off to a really shaky start, prob. cos it was still our 2nd game together so far. the second quart was alil worrying. didn't take my shots well, and committed a couple of mistakes. really gotta work on the 'hopping'. there was a slight commotion halfway thru the game during time-out, but yeah..we were calm n composed:) the defenders were great again. they really did a superb job. absolutely well done:> gotta communicate more with my shooter still.. she's been of great help really:)
took a bad fall in the 2nd quart. no physical injuries, but my right arm took the bulk of the impact and is aching badly now.. a couple of falls and stuff during the game, but the girls are tough:) especially that girl. hah. she brought in with her so much vigour in the last quart:>
honestly i've high confidence we'll be able to top our league. doesn't seem like anything great though, but it means alot to me since it's my first with np. we'll get things right:)

another game tmr night. alil worried cos i havent seen their play.. but we will get the job done. well done im sure.

will you be there tomorrow?

cip stuff

this is solely for cip. cip project's getting on fine. i've got great grp mates who continue working and filling in my part when i get brain jams, thx so much:) cip lesson tmr, gotta get the slides up for the tutor. we're almost there, just a couple more parts to be completed.
i've learnt quite abit of stuff about networking, softwares(especially accounting software), and even the printers:) yeah. it's quite fun actually. going down to sim lim, checking out the prices with my cousin (special thanks to him), learning how to set up a company's networking system. it's been a tiring learning process, but made interesting because of really great mates and this guy i feel ought to be mentioned for keeping me off the stressed-mark. hah. and his really helpful friend. thx! 4 weeks of preparation.. i honestly feel we should be given more time cos this is actually quite an interesting proj for once. but well, 5weeks will be it:) presentation's next wed. i promise myself im not gonna do another last min attempt at rushing it out 5 hrs before presentation. NO. we'll do one good job and give it our best shot:> hope it'll be another enriching day tmr at lessons:)

just came over from hsin's blog. yeah. i guess the sentiments are so alike. i too, would give anything to be able to play with those girls again, where u just know each other so well u cud close ur eyes and get a good game out of it. those calls of encouragement from behind when i'm at the shots, they're still ard, but it's just a diff feeling. i guess we just have to keep moving. n look back to savour the moments tts all. still, im still hoping for tt day, when it'll be us again on court together:)

thx hsin, it's really been ages since the last game together, but it's always assuring to know u're doing well girl:)

trng was alright, coach wasn't feeling well so left to self-train. scorching sun for once this morning. ended at noon, and lunched in school. got home intending to take a nap till 3.30, but ended up jumping out of bed at 5.30. how crappy can this get.
second game on monday, really hope it'll be a much better one. i guess i've figured sth out, accuracy is always better than safety. hah. doesn't make much sense. but i know what needs to be done d.

if you fall here, i wouldn't want to get up either

one fine day

it has been a fine day today:> bad start to a horrid morning with the rain. could barely keep my eyes open during lessons.. literally conked out when i came home.

got a hair cut on wed cos of incorrigible management. nice change for once:)

finally got to crap with my sis online. somehow i guess, opposites need each other to keep going.. been a week since she left, 2 more to go:> guess this's the only 'happier' event on this dreaded friday.. hope she'll have a better week ahead:)

trng again tmr, gotta work on the shots. lots of work to be done in fact. busy afternoon again tmr, gotta complete the slides for presentation on monday, get my speech up, n wat else..collate all the slides. sigh. even sunday's not gonna be enjoyable.
may the coming week be a better one:)

another day at sch

yet another sch day. boring. proj stuff again in the afternoon, trng in the evening. hopefully will be a fruitful one, ought to be in any case. my bstats tutor is really quite a nice guy. it's rare to have nice guys.
lesson's starting soon..off to another anticipated day:)

will you ever see the present me again?

it was nice seeing those juniors at knc yesterday. it's really been a long while since i last had a game of netball in crescent. still miss the parade sq court which we all grew up on.

we won the game last night. but it was far from good. but the defenders did really well. i guess that's why i've always given them my utmost respect. then again, some real nonsensical play from me n it really felt bad after the whole game. such a disappointment to both umpires who were previously my coaches. barely dared to look into them during the handshake after the game.

actually i've loads to tell my present coach. yet each time i even attempt to talk to her, the words just go straight back. there's so much gratitude, for making me realise there's much more i can do and a longer way i can go. n the snrs too, for making me feel like i've nv left this game. first time we played together yesterday, communication was bit bad, but we'll keep trying harder together.

n siying, if u happen to read this, i really miss doing those splits and shots with u.

Yep sch was alright today, tutorials and lecture as usual. tmr's gonna be proj day again. hopefully it'll be a fruitful day tmr:) thinking about next monday makes me worried. we'll be having a rehearsal for our oral com. module. gotta be in formal wear..i always hate such dress codes.

honestly this blog is supposed to be used to write about my CIP module.. okok i'll try doing it tomorrow..

i kept searching, but i couldn't find that familiar figure anymore

first after ten yrs

so i finally decided to get a blog. basically cos i've to do so for my module in a wk's time.. in any case, hopefully this's a way of keeping in touch with this world i've long felt detached from.

i pray for that familiar figure tomorrow
