Recieved a call a few days back telling me that I have an interview with them this coming Saturday morning. Before that, I received news from my friends that they are not called back to the team. Guess how am I feeling now? God knows.
Ideal situation will never come true. I knew that. But still, I'm disappointed. Fought hard to earn their acknowlegment which they never will give. Treated as gunine pigs and not allowed to retaliate. Speak up but was treated as a rebel. Our voices can never reach them and their concern was never us. Wonder why is that so, and I never had an answer to my questions.This world is never fair, learnt that long ago. We just need to deal with it.
The closer you get to something, the tougher it is to see it. The more you hold on to it, the more it will slip away. Is that just the way things are? Beats me. I've sacrifice so much for bowling and I know I did not regret. Not even once. The only thing that I could not let go was, I had the chance but I did not seize it. And now, I'm seeing the young ones out there walking down this very same path that I once took. And I'm pretty sure they will end up with the very same state that I am in right now in another few more years down the road. Is this a vicious cycle we must go through? Who knows.
After a long fight for my placing in the team, I grew tired of fighting. I am already losing my will and morale to continue this battle. Really, I need a break. But knowing that my days in the squad are numbered, I will give a good fight until my last breath. These are for bowling.
Studies, I have the sudden urge to study. Perhaps my half mock test is a wake up call to me to tell me how terrible I am with my studies. It is really time I should start taking things seriously, holidays are over. My New Year's resolution is to at least get a merit for all my modules. Hopefully I can meet my own expectations. Besides, resolution is shown by the attitude and not by words.
Apart from all theses, there is definitely one big emotional issue. I have decided to put him aside for this whole time until I have completed my exams in May. He distracts me alot, and I hate it when I get distracted and then, not being able to produce results for my work and studies. It's enough! Besides, it may be just him playing around. I know what I mean. Don't doubt my words.
Anyway, my stomach is talking to me now. Got to go eat dinner now... ...

When It's Over, It's Over...
Today which is a verdict day for a few of my friends, did not turn out to be as bad as we thought. Perhaps, God has really gave them his blessing. They did not get into any deeper mess than it could have and the damage has been minimized to the maximum.
Now that everything is over, Greg, Steffi and Eugene, all of you have made it through today's trial. It seems that it was not that bad to the extend for me to collect Steffi's corpse. She was still smilling when she came out, and I thought, it's over. They will be fine. Indeed, they are sentenced to a lesser months suspension only. Not too bad. I'm happy for them.
Stumbled across some old photos, uploaded them on facebook. These photos are really nostalgic. Brings back many wonderful memories. I wish I could turn back the hands of time. Or maybe, travel through time and space.
Went to attend a feng shui seminar yesterday and the master was just saying, the year of Ox is not a good year for Rabbits. Rabbits may encounter some disasters which we cannot prevent at any cost. I wonder, will that be true? Because, apparently some of the books I've read said the same. Spooky huh? Tell me about it, I don't wanna know.
Also, they said that my career will face many difficulties and hardships. This is very true indeed as I am facing a little problem with the music school and SBF. It seems that things ain't going smoothly at all. I wonder why. Perhaps I really need to put in more effort. Also, I have my studies to worry. I guess it is really time for my to settle down and emotions and stop procrastinating. The more I procrastinate, the more i'm screwing myself up for my studies... and I simply cannot afford that.
My love life will be an unsuccessful one. The book said. That is not a really good sign. Maybe, this year will be another year of me waiting. Perhaps, keep low profile...low profile ong she-na. Don't try to stand out so much. Will keep you away from trouble. At least minimize the troubles.
Well, after all these, I really do hope the bad lucks to go and good lucks will come. I know that the year ahead of me will be a tough one. I will be stronger than every yesterdays and move forward bravely to face my fight every other day. I know I will get tired and restless at times, but i also know, there will always be people there for me to fall back on when I needed them.
Steffi, don't worry about the temptation card. The devil card will not get to me and I will make sure that I will not fall for these temptations. Also, I will do all I can and within my capabilities to keep the both of us out from troubles and also to drive away all the devlish things. I will be determined to keeps my words and my actions will proves it all.
Trust me, I have very strong will when comes to setting goals and direction of my life. Moral values and personal values are something that will not waiver no matter what you do. I'll make sure to keep a look out for potentioal dangers. We're ain't that bad and unlucky, we just needed a bit more patience. Let's walk through this another tough year together as friends and along with our companions, we will do better. Hopefully, for this new year.

Pondering, Looking Back and Reflect
Thought that this year started with a blast of good things, however good things always come to an end fast and the next thing you know, bad luck befalls. Wonder why...
Things has been going a little out of hand today. It all happens so fast that I felt that I couldn't comprehend whatever that had happened. My dear little friend here is so upset with herself and I really do hope that after she cries it all out, she will be able to take braver step forward. As to what had happend, I do not wish to elaborate too much but the bottom line is: Everything is so screwed up.
I used to think that I'm a very careful person when comes to running away from punishment or not getting caught for breaking the rules. Never did I expect myself to overlook this matter and now that it has gotten into this state. Wonder who to blame. Perhaps, it wasn't anyone's fault to start with. Temptation was the main culprit.
Looking back, there were so many chances for me to stop this from happening. So many and yet, I let it slipped away. There are many other ways to repent our mistakes, but it seems like god always gave us the hardest route. Maybe it is always that we learn things the hard way. Human nature perhaps? I wonder why.
I could have stopped her from doing all these things. Although it may not be wrong, at the same time, it may not be right too. I didn't fulfill my role enough and thus, this incident occured. If I had, this could be prevented. Prevention is better than cure, I always believed in this and it is always never to late to apologize or to repent upon your mistakes.
Humans make mistakes, this is my favourite quote. Who don't know that. But do we just brush it off just by saying we're human and it is a norm that we make mistakes? No, we don't and we shouldn't. Admit our mistakes requires courage, accept it takes bravery, repent on it needs determination and then to reflect upon it.
From this incident, I could see myself better now. I tend to get swayed by people's decsion or emotions too easily. Even though I could differentiate what is right and what is wrong, but I couldn't put them into actions when it is necessary. To help my friends out of trouble. I failed to do so despite myself seeing this is what may happen.
I know that I am partially at fault here and I know that I can never turn back the hands of time. My friends have already fallen into this bottomless pit and here I am, only can watch them fall and sitting here so helplessly. There isn't much I can say at this point of time, all I can do is to listen and console them.
Who knows, I may be one of the 3 that the coaches are looking for. Of course, I hope I'm not but if i'm not then who will it be? It will still be one of my friends. A mixture of emotions I must keep inside myself. Wonder how this end up in this state.
Hopefully everything goes well and turns out well. May god bless those who are in this mess. Monday, the verdict day. Monday, which seems so far yet so close. Monday, which is so gloomy and seems so blue. To my little one, hope that you'll be fine.

What Ever Will Be, Will Be.
After a whole week's work, I finally get to slow down my pace and take a rest. Fatigue is starting to sets in and I can feel it. My body is having signs of sickness and I know that at this moment I have too many commitments.
Managing a centre is not as easy as it seems it is. Human relation is one big problem, making decisions for the benefit of the company and this trains your mentality in many ways. Your decisions determines your maturity.
It is probably time for me to view my life differently as I am going to embark on another journey that is different from the ones that I've been travelling so far. Enough of SBF, enough of bowling and now my studies and work are my main priorities. Screw SBF whether they want to keep me in the team, I know that this is reality but I just simply don't like the way the govern matters.
So much for talking about transparency and when the bowlers needed it the most, it was never shown. So much for all the promises they made to improve our game, and when we cannot do what they have asked for, it is our fault and not theirs. Have they ever thought that if we failed, they have failed too? When a bowler cannot perform in a competition, they simply put the blame on the bowler being uncoachable or whatever reasons they can think of. But who has seriously think through and tell the them that "hey, you mean you are not to blame for us not performing?" "why is always the bowlers is the problem, and the you people have no problems?"
So much for saying " we are humans too, we make mistakes!" Yea right, I wonder have you people ever admitted that when your ANY of your bowlers did not bowl well, you are partly at fault too?
Anyway, given up hope of them and thanks to them, they nearly killed my passion for bowling. The good thing is I still have good friends around who shares the joy of bowling. With them around, I once again felt the joy and excitement i've once lost for bowling. It doesn't matter where or which organization i belongs to, as long as I love to bowl, I will still find time and train to compete.
leaving all these aside, i attempted something out of the blue today. I tries playingmy gu-zheng and i suck big time. I have forogtten all my notes and cannot even play a proper piece. Someone please shoot me now! maybe i'll start practicing my gu-zheng to get in touch with my innerself more. I might start practicing my gu-zheng to calm my mind and body. Sounds artistic huh? Maybe I AM... *grin*
Oh well, shall end it here today. Had a long day and i'm really tired out. Good night everybody!

What Lies Ahead For Me In 2009
Was looking though my date planner and realised that 2009 will be a busy year for me. I'm going away for a holiday with my parents to Hokkaido during chinese new year, after which I have a final mock test coming up in mid-March, the major obstacle would be my Final Year Exams in May. Exams are either DO or DIE and my exam fees are damn expensive. I guess that is what it takes to get a decent degree qualifications.
Had steamboat with a bunch of amazing friends last Sunday. Those amazing people are Aloy, Yiquan, Steffi, JonJon, Ben, Shuan and Colin. We joked, laugh and talks about bowling and all those funny team names that we came out for NAG. Ain't we planning a bit too far? Apparently all those that were present for the steamboat except for Steffi and Benji, are those who were not seeded in the 2009 bowling squad. We are the drop-outs from SBF.
While eating, Yiquan mentioned that if he got called up for the interview, he may not want to go for it as looking at this year's tournament calender, there isn't much tournament for us to go. Since that is the case, he would rather not train with SBF and then participate these tournaments on his own expenses. Having him saying that, it reminds me that I may not have the luxury of the time to compete in competitions too. As you can see, for the first half a year my studies has already occupy most of my time and not to mention about my work. If that is the case, I may not have the chance to bowl in Malaysia Open and Singapore Open.
Having said that, it would imply that I will need to have beter time management this year and have to prioritize my commitments. I really need to stick to my new year resolutions. Alright, now leaving ALLLLLL these problems aside. There is another bigger problem.
Ever since we came back from the last trip, we have spent every other day chatting on msn or sms-ing each other. As I know that you don't usually have this routine based on past experiences, you seems to open up your thought to me more than usual. We always chat until in the morning and it always seems never ending. Gradually, I have become more comfortable in chatting with you online and our conversation seems pretty normal. Not too sure is this a good sign or a bad sign. You don't express your emotions and you can be very misleading at times. You have put me in a spot where there are times when i really don't know what to do with you. *sigh* I guess that is what I will have to go through if that person is you. Seems like I will still need to wait a little longer for you to understand your feelings and then I will make a decision for myself.

Seems like I will still need to wait a little longer for you to understand your feelings and then I will make a decision for myself.

Moments
Started work today and realized that i am still in my holiday mood. Entering the new year would means more work to do and more obstacles to face. Oh well, guess i will have to deal with it and make the best out of everything. Besides, i know what i'm worth and capable for and will continue believing in myself like i've always did.
Was reading through my friends' blog and came to realise that whatever they are going through right now was something i've experienced before couple of years ago. Speaking about failing in bowling, getting back on your feet, loving my family and all my friends, walking through thick and thin with my family, talking about financial difficulties and many other things which i've already been through and overcome them over the years. I am not here to compare who suffered harder but this just reminds me that everyone of us will go through this phase of life and it is just a matter of who faces it first. I've seen many who failed and was not able to get back on their feet. I've also seen many who fought hard and had found their worth. There are also a handful who are really blessed and manage to escape all the way through.
I remembered once i've shared my experiences with one of the lecturers when I was in Temasek Poly. I told him about how lucky i was to have meet many great people during my school days who have helped me unconditionally and also fabulous teachers who have shown me guidiance in many aspects. I have met great people who has made a difference in my life and that what makes me who i am today. During my poly days, i have friends who stood by me whenever i'm feeling down or despair and my parents who has given me constant support and encouragement has helped me through many difficult phases of my life. And now that i am in university, i ought to learn to be independent and self-reliant.
Took up a job to earn my own expenses, studied harder so that i will not let my parent down and try to bowl better to win more tournaments to prove that i deserve to be in the team and if i were to leave one day, it is not because the federation does want me and is because i don't need them anymore.
I guess my new year resolution for this year will probably be: work hard to earn my experience in the working world and try to at least score for a Bs than a Cs for my studies. Also, since my days are already numbered in the squad i will make the best out of everything i could to prove my final worth and leave with pride. Try not to defy my parents too much and be a better girl. Do a little self-reflection to see what i'm lacking and what the areas i need to improve.
Oh well, there are just too many things i want to do for this year...better write it down in my planner. I really need to do some self-reflection...

Brand New Year, Brand New Breeze, Brand New Start
2008 is gone and here we comes 2009!
2008 was a wonderful year filled with adventures and excitement. That is the year where I met many wonderful new friends mainly Jolin, Steffi, JonJon, Weixiang, Clara, Colin, Gregory and Genevieve. We hang out, have fun, laugh together and make a fool out of each other.
Last night's countdown was great, Aloy and yiquan had a hard time doing their "dare" and to see JonJon so blur with the big fish small fish game, Greg and Gene were not anywhere better too! Colin was pretty on the ball as he was quite alert and managed to escape a couple of punishments. Steffi was as high as usual when comes to drinking and she really sucks in playing 5-10-15 game. Oh my word! JoJo was super busy with serving the customers but we managed to get her to do some forfeits some of the time. The main lead of that night was steffi's younger brother, Isreal, he rocked the floor man!!! That young little chap dances like no body's business. Lolxx.
Thinking back how I spent my 2008 with this group of friends really makes me smile. They have been there for me whenever I needed help from them. Weixiang, Steffi and many other will always willing to lend me a helping hand. I really really appreciate it.This year has been a great year for me. Chinese swimming club won the youth league and almost everything else, and it is my last year to bowl for the club's youth league. At least I ended it with a glory. Went for a couple of tournaments and the results was acceptable except for Milo which was a disaster.
As 2009 is here, I do hope that this year will be a better year for me. Also, let it be a year where good things will come and bad things will go. To all my friends, May it be a better year for you too!!! Bowl well, study hard, work hard and at the end of the day, we will enjoy the outcome for the amount of effort we have put in. Cherish friendships and keep in touch with our close friends whom we have once lost. Forgive the mistakes we once made in 2008 and this can bring this friendship that all of us once shared to another level of being understanding and considerate to each other. (although this may not be applicable to certain people).
In conclusion, all the best for this new year and may all our hardwork not go down the drain. To all my friends out there, Happy new year and steffi, please stay away from freaks and faggots...lolx, that if you have a choice. *grin*
Bye bye to 2008 and hihi to 2009!
