Training today was like fuck. No, it wasn't about the coaches or teammates, just myself. I guess I was just not in a volleyball mood, I wasn't off form, just fucking restless. My arm and elbow hasn't get any better, neither my knee caps are. Every parts of my joints started hurting me, I couldn't run, I couldn't spike nor serve. I got pissed off at the start of the training, I do not want to play scissors paper stone cos' the game will never end, but majority wins, teammys chose that, so I played reluctantly :/ I smhw think Amanda agrees with me though. I could see that Yongkwang was pissed with us cos' we did not perform well, so he handed us over to Stephen and duh, physical fitness time. Humairah and I only did push-ups and Buddha claps for 5 sets, but the later part was rather tiring. We sprinted for almost 20 laps, it was a killer! I was lucky enough to pass thru Weicheng as he slowed down at the ending point, so sorry Weicheng! :/ Coach spoke to us, then we went bbt and homed. I fucking quarreled with my brother and I broke down, duh I have a heart, he doesn't. I wonder why do I have such fucked up brother like him, Keith Koh.
Tomoloz!
@ 10:34 AM
Yay my birthday is just in a day's time! Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow! ^^v
Speaking of my birthday, I received a text from my twin brother, Melson, when I was in Malaysia(day 2). He wished me a advance birthday cos' he will be away for a training trip in Malaysia too. How thoughtful of him! ^^
Man, we shall make a promise to each other again, let's celebrate our birthday together next time! It's a MUST! I was busy last year due to a friendly game, and this year he's away for an oversea training trip. Man, always volleyball!!!
Who's kind enough to get a volleyball cake for me! HAHA confirm plus guarantee chop chop it will look awesomely cool and outstanding! :P hor hor hor, hor people? LOL
Ok training later.
And oh yes, it's my cousin brother's birthday today, so .... Happy 12th Birthday, Weiwei!(Dion Ho Shen Wei)
Great trip.

So, on the first day, I met my team at Yuhua MacDonald's for breakfast. Yumz(V)
We walked to school and the sun was killing all of us, we were perspiring badly. Bad bad bad. We boarded the bus and enjoyed ourselves.
Then, we alighted at the same place as U15 for our breakfast. Wanton Mee without Wanton and/or Char Siew. Cool me ^^
After our breakfast, we boarded the bus and headed for our match. We lost to Convent 2-1, it was a great match, but the most embarrassing thing happened was my shoe came off in the middle of the game! And when it came off, I couldn't wear it immediately cos' the ball was right in front of me, it was the 3rd ball so I had no choice but to free ball it over and put my shoe in straight away. I could hear everyone's laughter in the court, I meant, the sports hall, man! Coach debriefed us and we all went for our lunch at some pretty cool halal restaurant buffet, all their food are super spicy. Bgirls didn't had much appetite due to some reasons, one of them was, nervous and scared for Fernanda's 'N' level's result! Upon receiving the happy news that she passed, we all cheered loudly and almost moved to tears, so glad that she can be our teammate and captain! Then, she decided to call home and lie to her family that she failed, but she fooled her brother first, so we took photos of her.
We ate a lot, cos' we were happy for her and the team. After-which, we went to check in our hotel, the guys were spot checked by coach for their tucked-in-jersey-in-the-pants.
Bgirls smelled great after taking a shower! We went Humairah's room(706) to disturb and Clarrissa scolded me when I took a photo of her washing jerseys, but still, thanks girls!
Then they gathered at my room to disturb, jump on my precious comfy bed and spam my camera of them. But man, I miss my spectacles :(
We collected our dinner and ate at the swimming pool.
The funny thing was Mdm Ong fell down while talking to Fernanda and Amanda, she tripped over the step and fell. Hilarious. But glad that she was fine. Then, WE WENT FOR SHOPPING! I lost my spectacles, super sad :( Most of us bought a Everlast bag each, Clarrissa and I had a hard time choosing which colour we should buy cos' there was left with only one. MAN. We bused back to the sports hall and shouted ourselves hoarse just to cheer for Bboys, but sadly they still lost. The Malaysia team is indeed strong, no choice~ Haha reached hotel at 1am and slept straight away.
Day 2 : We woke up at 8am, breakfast at 9am, but who knows, there were no vacant seats and nobody refilled the food until 15mins later, worst still, no fluid at all! No coffee no juice, man!
We showered and gathered at Amanda's room for lesson with Mr Darren Ng and Mdm Ong.
After that, we went to coach's room for video session. But before that, Clarrissa did smth retarded and I managed to capture it down! Check it out! Everybody laughed at the part when my shoe came off. Man, so embarrassing.
We headed back to our rooms and I collected our lunch box for the team at 12noon, watched tv and rested a little on the comfy bed.
We then headed out for our match, but Clarrissa and Mdm Ong had tummy upset for the whole day. And whenever they mentioned abt it, we'd definitely laugh our asses off, you'll never know why unless you were there with us. But, Humairah was with her swollen eye :( Luckily it wasn't serious!
We lost to Bukit Panjang Govt. High 2-1, it was upsetting, I couldn't deny that I was feeling very nervous, may it be before or during the game, thru out the whole 3 sets of match, I was feeling really nervous. I couldn't perform myself, how I wish coach could sub me out with Fernanda cos' I really need a short time to calm myself down, I almost cried in the match. I knocked my head on the ground twice while saving ball, and my headache got worsen but I did not dare to mention out to coach as I was afraid he might get furious. I cried after the match, nobody knows abt it. We went back to hotel for a shower and left immediately for our dinner, the same restaurant as U15 day 1 dinner. I had lotsa fun and laughter with the team, especially Clarrissa, made us laughed our asses off.
Fernanda asked for a challenge, on who can finish the most number bowls of rice, so Kimberly Rosanna Clarrissa Wanjing and I took up the challenge. Could you still rmb that Kimberly finished 6 plates of rice on U15?! Hahaha.
Fernanda and I managed to finish only 3 bowls of rice, Kimberly Rosanna and Wanjing finished 2. Guess what, our dessert was Green Bean Soup again, we finished a big bowl of it within 5 mins. We took the guy's share as they did not want it, so Bgirls finished 2 big bowls of it, hehehe. I had 4 bowls, Clarrissa ah, she must be crazy!!!!
Then we set off for guys' match. Yongkwang spoke to us regarding our match. (While Henry took the photos.)
Then we went back to the sports hall and cheered up the guys. Qihao was there, we counted how many times did he looked at Kimberly within a min, and the answer was 9! Funny. Catholic High won the Malaysia team in quarter finals, I finally rmb the #12 name! It was a great game, 3-2, we were tired of watching those 5 sets! I couldn't stop laughing since the time when Clarrissa told me smth, I guess my laughter was really loud as Yongkwang could hear it. Qihao and Yiwei gave me a new nickname, they call me Cartoon, they say I look like one. Qihao even said I am crazy, cos' I laughed non-stop, my face turned as red as an apple. I also got punished by coach as I hit the ball at him, hold on, it was self defence ok. Well, then I did 20 push-ups, man. The guys lost, it was a bad game, they played very badly. But the opponent team is \o/. They freaky don't look like 17 at all, they look more like some over age 30 workers ok, seriously not being exaggerating but they do. They got no basic good skills yet they can thrash us 3-0 with their stupidly powerful attack. We headed back to hotel and we thought Bingzhao was angry with us cos' he did not want to open/respond to us, so Kimberly Rosanna and I decided to leave him a note. But 10mins later, he came to knock on our door, then we had a chat with him for an hr, basically about our primary school times and volleyball. Henry also came to find us, he thought room 708 was coach's room cos' he was in it, but he was wrong, HAHAHA. He came to search for tidbits, aiyo! He left my bed on 1.30am, then I finally can have my sleep at ease.
Day 3 : (5 pictures taken only) We woke up at 8am again, Bingzhao came to my room and talked nonsense(haha!), then we prepared everything and headed down for breakfast at 9am. After eating, we proceeded back to our room for a shower and we gathered at coach's room for video session again. Everybody laughed at the part where Amanda tried to save the ball but it ended up hitting her face instead, worst still, coach even rewind/back forward it. We had our lunch in our room, then we assembled at lobby for check out. Man, miss it.>:( 2 hrs of journey to Batuh Pahat ; I slept for over an hr yet I was still feeling sleepy. We alighted at some random place, to pee, to grab a bite. So I bought waffles and donuts for Rosanna and myself. Well, Singapore's Donut Empire's donuts definitely taste much better and nicer! We sat for another an hr or 45mins I supposed, and we reached our destination. We had a friendly match with smth smth Batuh Pahat, we won 3-0 but as a bench-sitter, I could see that they did not perform. Coach was hinting to me thru out the whole game, he couldn't stop telling me Wanjing's mistakes and then say, ' Cnt leh, Wanjing don't have much experience.. Erm erm, what if I put #6? Can a not ah? Sigh. ' Super idiotic can! Boarded the bus and we went for our dinner at some unknown place. But before that, we had a few bunches of bananas for us, I ate only 3 while Clarrissa finished 14 of them! Super cool.
We can't stop laughing at the way how Clarrissa eats it, Amanda could imitate her! When we reached the dinner place, we walked round and round and almost all the stalls sell the same thing. What a shit! Coach sat with us and he started the hinting abt libero agn, I seriously don't know what to say man! He even threatened me of not summiting my name into the main 7 and 13. WALAO EVIL. Kimberly asked coach a few very personal questions, kaypo leh quek! Yongkwang treated me papaya and watermelon and coach for guava. After dinner, everyone in the bus was sharing the tidbits/snacks they bought, especially coach, he went to 'snatch' it instead. Worst, Clarrissa continued her banana challenge, LOL.
I went to the back of the bus and joined Clarrissa, we played the Whirlwind 21 in Mdm Ong's iPhone, test our mental calculation yo! I started playing other games with John's help. The guys started crapping at the back, Jinhao even disturbed me with Korean-name-guy agn. But, he promise to help me, so hopefully before my birthday!!! We alighted at the Malaysia and Woodlands customs, and I fell asleep while otw to school. Mr Ong fetched Rosanna Raishan and I back home and he went Bukit Gombak then. Home sweet home.
Funtastic

I'm back in Singapore!~
I'll update my blog tmr, am too beat right now to give much info on what happened there. But basically, we had lots of fun together as a team. Although we lost in the first round ; we met Convent(M'sia) and Bukit Panjang Govt. High ; we lost 2-1, I'm pretty sure we fought really hard in order to win, even coaches and teachers agreed. So yeah, let's train hard for the upcoming competition, West Zone Top 2! Go Shuqun Volleyball Bgirls! <3
Don't forget, my birthday is just in 3 more days! THREE THREE THREE!!!
Friday, December 18, 2009 @ 6:43 AM
I got very upset upon knowing that my brother reformatted the computer without my permission because I've got many important things kept in my computer! Man, it's really saddening, this might be exaggerating but I actually teared.>:( So, there won't be any pictures at this moment, wait till I come back from Malaysia U17 competition. I am leaving for 3 days again, so stay tune to my update!
5 more days to my birthday :)

Training>Friendly with SIM>Training>Debrief. I felt guilty for injuring Shahirah's ankle and causing her to give the Malaysia trip a miss reluctantly. But team is lucky to have 3 setters, otherwise we'll be dead meat. I freaky got no idea if I was on or off form ytd, I was so not myself, man. Teammys sent Shahirah to physician while I went to meet my mum.
Jurong East(Met up with my mum)>Queensway(I fell asleep inside the bus)>Lunch(Not-so-nice)>Shopped(Track pants)>Anchor Point(Subway Cookies!)>Depot Road(Waste of time)>Bukit Merah(First time~)>Tiong Bahru Plaza(Walked)>Jurong Point(Collected)>Home Sweet home(Slept)
So this will summarize my day.
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 @ 8:35 AM
My head was throbbing so badly last night, I had no choice but to eat two tablets of Panadol Extra with an empty stomach of mine, mum scolded me so I cried myself to sleep, I feel so bad inside.>:(
There is a friendly game today between B'boys and Punggol Volleyball Boys, so I am making a special trip down to school just to watch their match, although I was kind of reluctant as I was really exhausted, I needed more rest but well, I don't wanna miss it. I don't wanna train Cgirls cos' I am tired, but I know coach certainly will ask me to teach them, man I only want to watch their match! :(
I gotta prepare myself now, got to go, buhbye! :)
Ok my purpose of going back to school was to catch Bboys friendly game, but I ended up coaching Cboys instead, man it was just a waste of my time, my breath. I shouted myself hoarse, telling them to shout, but they fucking keep their mouth sealed up, what is this! I rested a lil while in school and I headed back home after that as I was feeling kinda down. Unfortunately, I got into a fight with my brother when I got home, yes I tolerated his nonsenses twice in a day, but for what he said for the last time was fucking intolerable, yes I shouted back at him but ended up crying. Wtf.
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 @ 8:05 PM
Although our training was supposedly to be in the afternoon, but we specially reached school at 9 in the morning for a volleyball video session to attend, thus we spent 2hrs sitting there and watched the 2 clips. We headed for our lunch @ Yuhua Village Market, we had more than enough time to spend so we used it slowly.(LOL)
Rested awhile and we started our friendly, we lost to ACJC and Volleysports Blue both 3-0, but wait, I can say that the match between ACJC was a great fight, the points were so close like 24-26 and 27-29, cool~ :D Whereas the match with VSB wasn't a good game, I was so disappointed with myself that I actually broke down, thanks Clarrissa for lending me her shoulder and asked me not to give up, then coach subbed me out with Fernanda.
We had another 4 rotations with coaches, it was fun! Really fun, the only not-fun part was when coach whacked a ball and it directly flew to my face, and fyi I was standing at front court and he was spiking from the center, imagine the force used by coach! Man, my face felt so swollen and duh I cried, but laughing at the same time. YES I AM AFRAID OF BALLS, OR RATHER THINGS HITTING MY HEAD/FACE COS' I HAVE A PHOBIA OF IT SINCE YOUNG. But I have no idea why did I still joined vb :P Ok, then teammys encouraged me to hang on and not to cry anymore, I laughed really badly when Fernanda dived and laughed at the same time, she also did some funny actions which cheered me/us up.
We cooled down and coach spoke to me, I absolutely agreed with what he says now, then he slowly called Bgirls up and spoke to them too. It was raining heavily, we did not realized until 6pm cos' we were busy with our stuffs, so we waited for almost an hr before we could leave the school. We had a talk with Yongkwang too, super funny ok all his lame jokes~ Haha Clarrissa Kimberly and I intend to buy his vb shoes ^^
Forgive and forget.

My knee caps were a burden to me for my morning run, I ran less than 50m and my knee bones started rubbing each other. And for your info, it's both of my knees, so I was limping rather than running 1.2km. Cboys trained on ground floor volleyball court whereas Bgirls continued training in indoor sports hall, so we trained more on basics in the morning, it was a tearful training to me as I was upset that I disappointed coach for not reaching his expectation. I could feel the piercing pain in me whenever I spike wrongly, there's an image in my mind of coach shaking his head, man am I nuts? :( I feel so lousy among them.
Afternoon training was much better. Coach showed us the videos taken on U15 competition, I saw some silly mistakes I made, example receiving first ball fly and spiking out ball, STUPID OR WHAT. We were waiting for coach to play for us the video against Fairfield and Presbyterian but we did not have enough time to, and how could they not video down the match with Pres! THE BEST OUT OF THE BEST!
Coach spoke to us then we started our training, team was doing more on formation and it was really hilarious how Hengky told everyone off in the opponent's court, including coach ok! We laughed our asses off. Also how Fernanda dived twice at a row just to help Cally to receive HER ball, it was right beside her ok! I was disappointed that I could only receive up 7 out of 15 balls that coach whacked my area, just what's with me for missing so many balls! :( We stopped at round 4 then we played a game, a meeting point game by rolling the ball, fun fun fun! I was having splitting headache when coach ordered the opens to spike, I only managed to spike a few nice balls, as in really few, less than 8 balls, out of over 30 balls we spiked altogether. :(
We cooled down and had debrief, headed back home immediately as it was already evening time and we were exhausted. Bgirls are meeting at 9 in morning tmr for a vb lesson, and there will be friendly matches tmr in the afternoon. Man...
Sunday, December 13, 2009 @ 9:25 PM
Basically, we celebrated Rosanna's birthday @ West Coast Plaza, BBQ Chicken, it was rather a simple one as I reckon team was busy with trainings that we had no time to organize any surprise. Well, we waited for over an hr before we could settle our lunch tgh, so we killed our time by playing Photo Hunt, each of us spent a dollar @ 2 games, it was interesting!
We were served with a bowl of mushroom soup first. Joyce took a candid picture of me, I look unglam here but who cares! :) I ordered Black Pepper Chicken Steak with mash potatoes and tropical salad, regretted choosing that as side dishes because it wasn't what I wanted. I only had like, half of the chicken steak, and I was already full. I like Humairah's meal, it was Korean smth smth, nicest among what we ordered, yumz (V)
Afterwhich, our appetizer was a scoop of ice-cream each, then the birthday cake was served from one of the waiters there, we sang the birthday song loudly and almost everyone was looking at us, what's wrong man! We cut the cake and we were removed the whip cream from it cos' it is very fattening, horzxczxczxc. We wanted to give some pieces of cake to the supervisor and co. but Rosanna Kimberly and Clarrissa finished up, aiyo eh!
We bused to Jurong East then Shermine and Rosanna headed back while Humairah Clarrissa Wanjing Joyce Peiqi and I trained down to Pioneer, met up with Fernanda Merabel Zahria Soozhen and Amanda then we walked to Jurong West Sports Hall for their U19 finals. It was a close match for the girls' final but Volleysports Red(Shuqun Alumni) did not managed to defeat Presbyterian High School Alumni, they lost 3-1.
I saw Melson Filicks and Kaiwen too, I laughed so badly when I saw their new hair cut, I dialed Melson's number immediately and asked him what happened to his hair, it's so short! Haha. Volleysports Red emerged as VAS U19 Boys' Champion after defeating St. Hilda's Alumni 3-0, it was a great match indeed! I texted Jocelyn when I saw Augustine, then I mentioned to her my cute guy hahaha, I sat with her and she insisted me on taking #19 if Fernanda passes her N's, we shall share the same jersey number again! ^^ AND FYI WE ARE EXCHANGING JERSEYS TOO <3 MORE PICTURES COMING UP. MSN IS GETTING ON MY NERVES, YOU SUCK! BYE.
