MIDNIGHT!/ Saturday, September 26, 2009

Urgh. I feel like a hermit crab. I missed both the odac gathering at fariha's house and meeting baby chin!!! :( :( :(

And I found out today that I cant shoot rubberband. Damm paiseh please. I wanted use rubberband to shoot one of the nushigh guys but that plan totally backfired. I ended up shooting myself. zZz. *bangs wall* On a side note, the guys are pretty smart but they so naughty and checky! That's why they're boys..

I worrying and am disturbed, when I know I shouldn't be.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own - Mat 6:34
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Phil 4:6-7
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer - Mat 21:22
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you - Mat 7:7
I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge - John 8:50

MIDNIGHT!/ Friday, September 25, 2009

Recess week finally! It's coming to an end though. :( And I haven't had enough rest nor studied enough!! Sobs sobs. I thought I could balance between work and studying but I thought wrong. More often than not, I'm just too tired to study after work. Today's the only successful day of studying after work. =/ Nvm, friday is gonna be my last day of work. I must choing my revision after that.

Work. Packing mooncakes is never easy, especially when we're packing mooncakes orders and then the phone starts to ring and customers start to walk in and want to buy cakes. Everything suddenly demands your attention and it's rushing and rushing to get everything done. I feel bad if I have to leave the snow-skin mooncakes out in the open for a long time, because i'm shortening the lifespan of the mooncakes. But it can't be helped. I'm not packing them out of sight of the customers. I need to serve those who want to buy cakes too. I can't possibly split myself into 3 parts. It was nice of liwen and yiting to drop by my workplace before lw flew off to UK again though. (:

My appetite seems to be getting smaller, but I get the feeling that I'm gaining weight instead of losing weight. I suspect it's because I haven't been working out this week. =/ I wanna run!!! Correction. I need to run. Now where can I find more time and energy? BLEAH. I can just imagine myself being a workaholic when I enter the workforce. Being a student is so much better!

The last week of nat champs ended 2 weeks back. Blizzards had 3 games that Saturday, against Espada, NP Devlins and Smurfs. We lost 2 games, 0-4 to Espada and 1-4 to Smurfs, drawing 2-2 with NP Devlins. Lizard was pretty much disappointed with how we played against Espada. Definitely, we weren't very on-form for that match and thus, that large goal difference. We wanted a win, but ended with a loss. The game with NP Devlins was better fought, except for the first goal. =/ I got the first ball, passed it to my teammates who failed to pick up the ball fast, resulting in a fast break and goal. :( Thankfully, we fought back hard and drew the match. It could have been a win though. Our last match with Smurfs was definitely better than the previous match against them. We played hard, and managed a fast-break to score a goal. Short tianged the goalpost, but it landed next to my boat so I was able to pick the ball up and shoot...

We didn't have any matches on Sunday, but we went down to support rt ladies and nusA. Rt ladies came in 3rd while nusA came in 2nd for the open cat. Post nat champs, we headed to rt siti's house for dinner as well as a session of bonding with the different batches of seniors. Siti's house is very pretty!!! Heehee. And yes, taboo was fun. (:

Now that nat champs are over, it's time to concentrate more on studies to prepare for the mid-terms. 1 mod down, 3 more to go. STUDY HARD!

the many many generations of cp ladies.

MIDNIGHT!/ Monday, September 07, 2009

Second weekend of nat champs. Blizzards played 3 matches in total, all on the same saturday.

Our first match that weekend was our best match. We played against titans and won them 2-1. I put in my first ever goal in a competition at this match! (: It was a tie on the first half, but I caught a fast break during the start of the second half so we were leading initially. Then titans fought back by putting another goal in. :( Thankfully, whilst playing 1-2-2 and I was chasing for the ball I managed to paddle block a ball and fast break again! So blizzards led again and won the match!!! :D HAPPY.

The fast break moments are still fresh in my mind! My first fast break in that match was quite scary, cos I was dribbling with my right hand (which isn't my master hand) so when I put the goal in I used 2 hands to put it in, fearing that I might tiang. The second fast break was much better. I heard people shouting tiang tiang from outside the pool but I shot that goal in! Wheee. Thank God, that He kept me focused during the game, that I didn't panic but remained calm so that I didn't mis-dribbled nor tianged the goalpost. I doubt there'll still be opportunities to fast breaks for our remaining games though.

Next came the match against smurfs, which we played horribly. Our entire team just collapsed, especially after the first half. Somewhere out there, something went wrong. We lost really badly. 0-7 isn't exactly a score which I'm proud of, especially when we made all the mistakes we could possible have made. Passing was bad, defence wasn't there, we didn't communicate..I wasn't prepared when I went for the first ball. Seems like when we're manmarked we play horribly. :(

Our last match, which also happened to be the last match of the day, was against NTU Grads. It was a better match as opposed to the match against smurfs, but we could have played better. We lost 0-6, which was 1 goal over our target. There didn't seem to be any stress attached to this game, so I supposed we played better. There's quite some room for improvement still. =/

The 3 matches, though only lasting for 7-1-7 in each game, was draining. After dinner with the team at Swensens' I totally concussed when I reached home and had a hard time waking up on sunday morning.

On Sunday, I went for service in the morning then headed down to sp to support teamNUS in their games. Sadly, blackcrooks lost to ntu ivp in the 3rd/4th placing match. The game was so close..they were into their second golden goal playing time when ntu had a fast break and scored. Blackcrooks, you girls have fought hard and we're all proud of you. nusA lost in their match against nushigh2 too. :( Looks like sunday isn't a NUS day. Jia you nusA!!! You guys can still fight and get it back.

Monday today, and I went running with cindy just now. Nus dragonboat ladies run very fast! We ran the route which the db people always run and I had trouble keep up with her at the last bit of the run. We were running up the slope and she can actually increase her pace!! Bleah. I'm only clocking the distance now and not running as fast as I used to.

MIDNIGHT!/ Tuesday, September 01, 2009

The first weekend of nat champs is over. Blizzards played 2 games, against NUS High and Monsters. We won the match against NUS High with a score of 2-1, but we felt more proud of the game we played against Monsters, although we lost 0-4.

Against NUS High, we played badly. We had many fast breaks and shooting opportunities, but we didn't capitalised on those and failed to convert the shots into goals. I attempted a fast break shot, but my shot ended up tianging the goal post. :( Probably we were too panicky and hence didn't play well. Both our attacks and defence could definitely be better. We always play badly for our first game. Thankfull we won, or we would have been demoralised for the rest of the games. That game was tiring though, because we sprinted up and down the pool alot of times when there was a changeover, only to lose the ball after that.

Against Monsters, Blizzards put up a really good fight! The first half could have been a draw, if clara had not committed a foul that led to the referee calling for a penalty shot. Monsters man-marked us whenever they scored or there was a change in ball possession, but we were able to hold the ball possession for some time and I even had the opportunity to fast break once. It would have been even better if I had capitalised on that fast break and scored though. :( I wasn't confident of my sprinting skills so I didn't dare to pump the ball too far up during the fast break, for fear that I would lose the ball. I should have done that during the game, because the opponents' boat was still some distance away from me. And I shouldn't have panicked at the last minute! It caused me to mis-dribbled. Bleah. Nonetheless, monsters probably got a shock that we had such an opportunity. Gracie scolded her teammate for not man-marking me probably and wanted to get even more goals in. But we defended well through out the game so we managed to minimise the scoreline and met our target for this game. (: And I heard alot of people cheering for blizzards too! (then no2 laughed when gracie commited a holding foul cos she capsized. haa.) Thanks guys! :D
