Chinese New Year 2009

Been a while since my last entry... Time seems to pass really fast.... Before i knew it chinese new year is over just like that...
this chinese new year had been slightly different for me... Those who know me well will know why... Tried not to really think about it, but came across an old photo album today, and saw a picture of the two of them... Really brought back memories... And i just realised how much i really missed them, even though i didn't say it, even though i didn't show it, but... ya, i really really miss them so much...
Come to think of it, there has been some regrets for me... Not spending enough time with them, not listening to them when they just need a listening ear... and when i saw my grandma on monday, some thoughts ran through my mind too... she comes to my house at least once a month on sundays, but recently, at least since i entered uni, when she comes visiting, i'm either asleep or already outside... it's been a while since i last saw her... And when i finally see her on monday, i just realised how much she has changed, and i never knew... she used to be so fit and strong, and now she cannot even walk for long... she used to shop for new year goodies and carry them back home all by herself, but this time she can only carry little by little... and her teeth are slowly dropping off... Are these signs to tell? i really don't know... i'm feeling afraid... really... afraid that i might experience the same thing again... the feelings i had for my grandpa's case... i'm afraid i no longer know how to face it... i'm afraid i no longer have the strength...
This has been an emo post, even though it shouldn't be, but i just can't help it... this chinese new year has really been different for me...

Merry Christmas!!!

To everyone out there, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
And to Dear Ms Chow Huiyi, hope you are enjoying your Krabi trip! Don't forget to bring something back for me! lol... Merry Christmas to you too!

Busy Holiday...

Been very busy since the start of the holidays... Quite ironic since holidays should be free... But I'm enjoying myself...
Busy with all the hall activities.. Interhall games, appreciation dinner meetings... IHG basketball has ended for my hall, so has volleyball, so that's two games down.... Hockey and softball left... Hopefully we can go all the way for softball... I really think we have the chance... the one sport i'm confident in...

Interesting...

Annual Camp: Batamania!!!

Went to Batam for 3 days and 2 nights for our Annual Camp. Totally enjoyed myself... Now i understand that it is not the place where u go but the company that matters... lol... Though the highlight of the camp was in day 2, but the other 2 days i had a lot of fun too... thanks to my very fun group of friends... Spent the afternoon of day 1 at a shopping mall... There weren't a lot to shop there, so we decided to go to the arcade to while time. Played the basketball machine, and it was a lot of fun! I won almost everybody, only losing to SY. Exchanged the tickets for a basketball keychain, and everybody had one...
Day 2 was supposedly the most fun of the trip. Morning is paintball, where we had a lot of fun shooting each other... haha... The place was really like a war ground, in the middle of nowhere in a jungle. It was really very real, and i managed to shoot 3 people out in my 2nd game. Afternoon was Cableski. Though i didn't play, but i totally enjoyed myself too...
Day 3 we had a massage session in the morning. I went for the body scrub massage. Though it was quite painful, but was really quite comfortable after the massage... Went shopping after that, and we watched "Twilight" at the shopping mall. Spent some time at the arcade too, playing bumper cars and the basketball machine again. The bumper cars was really fun! haha... Came back to Singapore after a seafood dinner...
Overall, the trip was quite fun and enjoyable. The things there are really cheap, especially food. We had zhi char for supper, and for about 5 dishes we each only had to pay about S$3! lol.. really cheap... and the food is really nice too... Movie in Batam is only S$1.50... Much cheaper than in Singapore... haha...
Took some photos during the trip, shall share them some other time... Feeling quite tired now... and i need to go back to hall soon... Bball training at 9am, followed by softball friendly at 4pm... gonna be really tired... but who cares! haha...

Softball Camp

Finally, softball camp is over! Not that the softball camp is not fun, but it's a bit too tiring... lol... Camp started on Friday morning, at 730am. Went to the SRC field to train early in the morning. End training about 12pm to 1230pm, went back hall for a bath, and lunch, had a one hour break, then it's back to training at 3pm. Trained all the way to 7pm, then again went back for a bath and dinner, before having "movie screening" when we watched videos on baseball and softball plays and learnt from them. Everyone was rather tired, but some of the videos were quite exciting...
The schedule for the second day is about the same, except that the "movie screening" is changed to a tutorial, where we were tested on the different plays and the rules of IHG softball. Ended about 1130pm, went back to sleep, and again, 9am training today. Trained till about 1230pm, then break camp. Went to Nihonmura at Jurong West stadium for lunch, before heading home finally. All in all, the camp was fun, but tiring at the same time. I learnt a lot from the camp, things that will help in our IHG tournament.
Friendly next week right after we come back from AC, on Friday. Training again the following Wednesday, RHE on Thursday where we have a one hour game, then training again on Friday. Going to have an overdose of softball this holiday... Not that i mind though... haha...
