NL 2009

NL has started.

We won our 1st game against Bucks yesterday in a walkover because they were late.

For Mixed: Team Mbada withdrew, so game today is also cancelled.

About me

Some say they like predictability, but I choose the other.

I prefer to be unpredictable. I do not like my choices second-guessed. I do not like to be read easily. I do not like to be taken for granted. However, I love to pamper and go the extra mile for the people around me. So long as you have earned my trust and respect in you, I will give you my best. Some say I'm unpredictable, some say it's hard to believe I can be nice to others without any agenda. Why is this so hard to believe? Platonic relationships form a big part of my life. We are all friends with one another. Friendships are hard to form, and even harder to sustain. I've often been let down by friends, and it's no wonder that I've developed a defense mechanism, not sharing much, compartmentalizing myself. Very often, most people see only a side of me, yet thinking they've seen all. I will share, but if I believe you're sincere in the friendship and not merely lip-servicing. I will give my all to you if I feel you reciprocating and when I'm headlog in a relationship -- be it friendship or anything -- you will feel the full-fledges of it without any expectation for return except for the shared bond.

When I was young, I've questioned myself often enough to wonder if this need to be different is merely a rebellious streak in me. Through the years I've grown, this character trait has stayed. Now I know I'm just different.

Why should I be the same as everyone else? Why should I want the same things in life? Why should I chart the same milestones as everyone else?

I lead my life as a nomad at times. I appreciate solitude. I appreciate the peace and quietness of nothing and noone around me. I make my own decisions and lead my life the way I want. I'm glad I come from a family where we are given all the space to make our decisions. Growing up on my own has taught me the thought processes to think through decision-making processes, the courage to make a decision and live through it, and the ability to make split-second decisions with the consequences having already been considered. I always believe I chart my own life and I'm entitled to all the differences I want, so long as I do not regret anything.

Perhaps you can say I'm "emo". But I would rather say I'm reminiscing. I'm glad I've never regretted anything in life. If I were to die now, I would have no regrets. All my life, I have given my best at everything I do. I do everything with fervour, with passion, with the belief that everything and everyone deserves nothing less.

Per my tattoo on my ankle -- Persevere to the end. I'm not a quitter, and I won't be, until I'm utterly and irrevocably disappointed.

criss cross

Went for my physio as usual today, for my back. Been having once or twice weekly physio ever since late Nov 2008. Today was a little deviation from the usual treatment.

Dr Chin finally incorporated gym work to strengthen the core muscles. But I felt damn silly

I had to sit and balance myself on a stability ball. Then, with my core muscles tight, I have to take turns lifting my left and right leg off the ground, and straighten them if possible. No doubt slow, it was ok when I lifted my left leg up. Felt pretty much in control.

But the moment i attempted to lift my right leg off the ground, i rolled off the ball. And even if I don't, my torso was twisted in my attempt to counter-balance, which means I'm not engaging my core muscles enough, or they're just plain weak.

It was downright embarrassing. I finally understood how stroke patients feel when they suddenly realise they can't use an arm or leg or control their mouth muscles. I literally had no control over my left core muscle. She felt it was ok when we tested it in the treatment room, but as soon as it's put to test in gym, I think I failed marvellously. :(

I literally rolled off the ball as soon as my physio let go of me whom she was supporting when I got into position. What the hell ....

So, my right ankle is loose, certified loose. My ligament torn, and I'm gonna do my MRI on Monday to determine how bad is the tear. And apparently I'll have to be in a cast for 12-16 weeks if I do go for surgery.

And my left core muscle is weak, hence that's why the left side of my back muscle is always injured/torn and achy.

What an awkward combination isn't it?

*sigh*

cute chicks

This blog is getting quiet. Will some people please make some noise??? :)



You are busy, I am busy, we all are busy...but our spirit should always be here, no?



Anyway, more people come for training ok? We are reduced to just a few little chicks (no doubt I believe we are cute chicks), the more the merrier still!

contiki beach netball 2009

sexist?!??!? conservative?!?!?

i read how they advertise the contiki beach netball - "sizzling, sexy times on the beach"
i note the insertion of new rule at the VERY LAST MINUTE - "garments worn under these tops must not protrude more than 1 inch below the bottom of the ladies cropped top"
i follow the news on My Paper - "we understand that not all players would be comfortable with this, and they would decide if they should play"
i also digest what was circulated - "we respect all religious sensitivities hence Muslim participants can wear a long-sleeved top beneath the cropped tops together with a tudong and pants in line with the Singapore Sports Council's advice"

as much as i dun feel comfortable to expose my belly, i felt that we, singaporeans were a joke!!

Blog colour settings

Peeps.....i've made 2 colour changes.

1. Blog post title: no GOLD (intention is to match the new T) so this was the closest.

2. Post text: merely wanted to perk up the feel of the blog with more colours.

How how? Is it better or you guys prefer some other colours?

Feedback pls!!

Contiki Beach Netball & Penang Laksa --> what do they have in common?

Answer: They're all happening this Sunday!!!

I heard the Contiki beach netball promo on radio yesterday and this morning -- boy ... they sure are hyping this up quite a bit.

A few of us are involved, so will the rest please come support us? We're forced to "mai shen" ... boo hoo hoo ... so we'll need all the support we can get.

After that all is invited to my place for home-cooked secret recipe Penang Asam Laksa, courtesy of my mommy. Details in email --- RSVP fast! (Ingredients are being bought as I speak. )

training last nite

only 2 cats and 5 kittens turned up for training last nite after a stormy weather.. yilinnocent was so excited abt her barbie doll asics shoes :-) and we gals gave KS 101% of all our attention... high-ball, side-stretch, bounce-ball!! i am sure he loves them all!!! dun you, butt?? :-)

also, i came to realize that each and everyone of us certainly has a unique, copyrighted playing stunt:-)

yilinnocent wld glide and do a small and unnoticable, subtle back-kick but she admits that she dun think she can beat peiru's legacy of back-kicking IN THE AIR!!! and for me, my head wld drop to one side whenever the ball that i feed, go nowhere ("that puzzled look!!" junjia exclaimed.. hehehe... i didnt know that) and yes, junjia!!! when she contests, the ball will somehow land on top of her head and she will "LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, TOP "where is the ball????" "


(give me the ball lei, i really contested for it just now, i just dun know where it landed)

New Life- Busy Life- No Life??

Before work goes out of hand, I better steal some precious time that I have left to update and blog.

Have started work at new PR agency situated at Club Street. Food is good there, except I have to worry bout' eating alone cos I have no colleagues to eat with. My two Caucasian bosses are nice, but I don't expect to eat with them too often. I guess will have to pester Peiqiao and Delia (My 2 good friends) to lunch with me hehehe....they are like 10min walk away!

Work is going to be hectic, to say the least. I can almost see myself trying to stay afloat in a few weeks' time....hope things will get better in time to come. I really hope this job will work out and perhaps grow my career with this agency. Fingers crossed.

One of the perks of working here is that I'll get to travel. Exciting trip to HK coming up real soon this Sat. I'll be there shopping over the weekend and then go for an induction training in the HK headquarters on Monday. I'll be back in Spore on Tues night. Was hoping to get Wed morning off work but it seems they desperately need me in office by Wed morning...boo! Gonna be so tired.

My first work trip abroad, alone. Hope everything goes well. I know my parents and Eric are gonna freak out over here in S'pore worrying about my safety.

Too bad I can't catch Eric in action for the NSL opening match on Sat. Not sure if he will be umpiring the opening match but Zenith peeps, please be there to take my place and support him!! keke...

some Daisy Tan photos

I miss netball trainings!!!! And I'm stuck in bloody HKG..... :(

tearing away a part of me

What will I be without you guys...
How will I be without you guys....
How will life be without netball trainings....
How will I be without exercise...?

A short and fat ball of glob. That's for sure. :(

I hope it won't ever have to be this way .... but it just might ....

oh so emo right ... but i have a reason 1 ....

aching feet and body

no need netball, my feet and body also ache like crazy- all the walking with full loads in business class is crazy work and my feet are really sore, many bruises to my fingers/hands due to jammed trolleys, jammed cart doors etc.... not to mention the jetlag and the freezing weather :-( 2 more sectors before back to mumbai.....

nevertheless belgium is truly romantic and beautiful, including the boutique hotel that we are staying in... i shall bring back some infamous leonida choco for all this sat :-)

cheers......I MISS NETBALL TRAININGS......

Wednesday sucks in office

I want to complainnn!!!
My Wednesday suuuuccccck BIG TIME.

It was initially a relaxing day where I wouldn't have to rush through my things. Then 230, kena called in my this Black-boss to go in and help him with a stupid list. I had to develop like 80 over profiles; don't want to be too specific, incase somehow somewhere people chance upon this entry. Hey but wait, nobody hav access to this except ourselves right?

Soo, I had to do it. I worked on the very same document. For each profile, I had to access many websites just to complete 1 profile. How frustrating, time consuming and texing on the eyes you know. You can imagine my mood. PLUS, my goal was to leave the office at 6pm, at least 615pm. In the end I had to work on that document and you know what time I left? 715pm!

Urrrrgggggh* I wanted to go home to jog, in the end when I reached home, I was so tired, din want to go jogging anymore.

My nose hurts!

Those who were at the Daisy Tan women's saw it!
I kenna elbowed on my nose....and it hurts like hell....
Tears sprang to my eyes instantly...
And it's damn painful to the touch now...owwww.....

:(

where is CNY celebrations????

dear mr social sec, before i leave singapore FOR small GOOD, where is CNY celebrations? its first week of feb this coming monday liao :-)

athletes and our gripe --- INJURIES

hmmm .... i don't remember having majorly injured myself before except for that knee injury 3-4 yrs back that had me rest for a few months....that time, i had to hobble up and down steps, 2 feet on 1 step at a time, i felt really handicapped. cannot use a squatting toilet, or else i can never get up. remember i had to push myself off the floor once when i didn't know the extent how weak the knees were. wanna sit on the floor will mean me squatting as low as possible, and then landing on the ground on my butt with a THUD cos even that height is still too high and there's no way for me to bend my knees somemore. cannot run, not even with guard.

for the first time in my life, i understood how it feels to have weak knees for old people. but of late, i'm getting old i think.

therapist says my ankles are loose and asked if i've injured them before. sprain a bit here and there in the past, yes, but somehow i'm getting the "effects" now. been 2 weeks since the major sprain and it still hurts to wear heels. still kinda stiff when i attempt to rotate it. not very successful at that. without my ankle brace, they are super fragile too.

now, my back hurts from the slightest weight i carry. carrying a shopping cart on CNY eve shopping for mommy was painful. couldn't stand up straight. either very straight (which is detrimental) or i gotta kick the cart with my feet. sucky.... it stiffens up after every game/training/workout. running for an hour is tops it can bear. after that it hurts too much to even jog. it's been months of physio and it's still not really healing. i know, i know .... never rest enough right? but how to ......? miss 1 training already miss so much. and i dun wanna get fat from NOT having any exercise at all .... arghhhhh

and oh, everything aside, there's this major stress while mgmt decides on 2009 budget. and from my last conversation with the boss, this is what it's looking to happen:
No budget = nothing to do at work;
Nothing to do at work = no need for Ms Gingerlyn;
No need for Ms Gingerlyn = getting laid off .......

*sobz*

why .... why .... :(

xxoo
