HeyLow
Juz i had trials!! I meant, not me. The newcomers.
Hmm. There were like a lot of ppl. I think about 30 plus??? Hmm. But it was very interesting. Like a reminiscence of me last year trying out for the team.
So the coach feeded balls, to forehand, backhand. Then, they did forehand and backhand volleys. Safely say at least 50% of them cant make it.
Then after that, they were asked to serve. Hmm.. Ok. There was a few with pretty good serves.
THere was one girl. Impressed me a lot. She have this emo gothic look. Wear all black. Black nails, black eyeliner. I didnt expect she can play! Her forehand damn good. Backhand, serve everythiing. Wah. Dont judge the book by its cover man.
Then another girl. She is kinda small in size. But she have the total package too. Only 2 girls that impressed me. But 7 girls made it through. The other 5 is just ok. Quite beginner. But ok la. THey can hit.
Then guys i didnt count how many made it. i think about less than 10 too. I only remember one indian guy who is damn good. One guy who uses prince ozone racquet who is also pretty good. One guy who wear jeans and orange t shirt whom borrowed his friend's racquet, is also quite good. Only 3 guys that i see is good. Hmm. Yea.
So after trials, is, training time! Man, i expected it. Physical. We did suicides. Im starting to like it. Coz i run very fast short distance. And i beat the rest. Yay. But hor, its very tiring.
Then we did some more things. Then we played king of courts. I became king once. Yay. But very boring la. Didnt get to hit much. Grrr
Then after that we went homez...:D:D

Yipee.
Tmr is my sch team trials. I will get to see ppl trying out for e team. But hor, the minus point is, i think the training would be physical. Coz from past experiences, it has been that way. Coz coach wanna show the newcomers how tough the training is. Argh. I hate physical T_T
Oh yar, i forgot to update to u about the recruitment drive. My shift was on friday. I had a bad feeling that i would be alone at my booth doing my job. Coz others had lesson. And i didnt have any lessons at all!
And it came true. At first, there was me, sze yinn, ghalib and yu jian. Then, all of them went for their lessons. Then i was left alone at the booth trying to promote tennis team to the newbies. Seriously seh, it was very tiring. I had to strain my voice to the max. Still ppl cannot hear me. Coz, there was loud music juz beside me. So i had to scream to the top of my voice. I think a few hours later, i lost my voice slightly. When Ghalib came back, he helped me a lil bit. A LIL BIT ONLY U NOE. I did most of the job. He spent most of his time chatting with his frens. I was like...wth. Then Yu Jian came and go. WHen he came back, he said he had to go off for 5 mins. But then he disappeared to no mans land. I was like.. grrr. So u guys have to be thankful to me ok. I did most of the job ok. Grrr. But nvm. Good experience for me. Mwahaha.
Then Sze Yinn came when we were about to pack up and leave. Grr. Nvmlah. Wat to do rite. Ppl got lesson and i didnt have any. So yea.

Boring..
Today i was supposed to have two lectures but i only attended one. Because i thought it started at 2. But it started at 1. Grr. The day before, which is yesterday, my lecture started at 2 but i thought it started at 1. But thats better lah coz u were there earlier. But today its like u came when the lecture is over. Tsk tsk tsk. But nvm tho.
At 2 pm, i had my LAST or Laboratory Animal Science and Technology lecture. Whereby we learnt how to handle animals in labs? Yea. But it will be kinda fun though for me. Not for Aili i guess. Haha. But its ok. Dun worry too much abt it. :)
So it ended at about 4 pm. After that, i went for my tennis. Unfortunately it rained. Grr. The weather is weird. It rain like dun wanna rain like that. Argh. If it had rained very heavily, the training might have been cancelled sia. This one rain so light. But never ending rain. So the training still goes on. But u noe lah. All physical trainings. We didnt get to play. T_T. But, we played catching too. :D
But hor, it was damn freaking tiring lah. But i enjoyed being the hider. Or the one who hides. Mwahaha. We played some thing like police and thief. Whereby the catcher will catch us. But those who were not caught may come and save those who were caught. So it was very tough for the catchers. Mwahaha. And very tiring. I felt like fainting. Hmm..
So yea. Training ended at abt 8.30 pm. Most of them went makan. Me and Ghalib went back home. Tomorrow i have to go to school altho i have no lessons. Grr. Due to the recruitment drive. I have to be the booth and so called promote tennis to the students. :) So yea.
Hmm. For the laguna tournament, i will be facing the 3rd seed player. I was like ... wth. Die. But nvmlah. I juz wanna have fun, as mentioned, and also wanna gain experience. Its ok to lose. So yea. Cya!

Daily Updates
Hey. So today i went to school at 9 am in the morning. I kinda overslept a lil bit. I woke up at abt 7.30 and decided to use the laptop. Suddenly i dunno how, i fell asleep while using the laptop. And woke up at 8.30 am. Luckily. So i hurriedly bathe and stuff. Arrived sch 15 mins late.
So i had Basic Pharmacology lecture. The lecturer is madness! She is so funny. She always made a fool out of herself. But she's very good. It ended at 11.01 am. It was supposed to end at 11 am! Grrr. Coz the lecturer is very chatty. Chat like nobody's business.
But nvm. Then after that i went home for a moment. Came back at 2 pm for another lecture. Which is Drug Development and Clinical Trials or DDCT. It was ok. It lasted for 2 hours. Following that, i had another lecture about Recombinant Technology & Bioinformatics.
Then after that, i went to the tennis court to play tennis. Mwahahahahaha. I played in Jeans and bare-footed. Now my feet hurts so bad. T_T. I played with Rusydi, Sam and his friend. I managed to play with some other guys. So yea. It was fun though. Pretty paiseh coz had to borrow racquet from Rusydi. Luckily he brought 2 racquets. Thanks!! :D:D

I hate CSAS and DDCT. CSAS forever sux. DDCT is PBL. Grr. I thought PBL life is over. But its still haunting me. Argh. Got to go thru the hassle again.
Today my tennis sux. Grr. Really off form. Due to the physical activities. I was so exhausted. And my arms, shoulders and legs were aching. I cant run, i cant swing my racquet properly. Grr. I played singles match with Asriel. And i lost 6-1. Argh. I wasnt upset or whatsoever. Because i know i wont be able to play well in such conditions. I need to be in my top form to play well of course. I also screwed up in doubles. I hate doubles to the max. I simply cant volley. I partnered Joel. Honestly, its so stressful. But nvm. Joel was serving for the match at 5-4 but couldnt close out the match. But its ok. Its my fault. Argh. Laguna tournament is coming on sat. Hope i regain my form and be able to kick some ass. See ya

MORE TENNIS MWAHAHA...
Heya.
Im feeling pretty happy with my tennis today. I played with a guy named James. He is 14 years of age. He is a lil weird. He asked me to sms him at one particular number. I smsed him like 3 to 4 smses. But he didnt reply. I need his confirmation whether he has booked the court or not. But then he called me. But using a different number. I asked him if he changed his number but he said no. Then his subsequent smses is from the new number also. Weirdos. Nvmlah.
Ok so back to the topic. I played with him at St Wilfrid's. Which is not that far. About 40 mins bus ride. I got direct bus there. He is ok. I heard from Nigel that he likes to lob and give high balls. So i was prepared. And yes, he gave me those lobby shots. But unfortunately, i killed all his shots. Im impressed that i made a lot of winners. Few errors. Maybe its bcoz of the new strings. :D:D The new strings feels great!
So yea. In the end i won him 6-1 6-2. But it was a pretty good game. Good workout. Need to prepare myself for next week's tournament. Im not actually looking forward to the tournament. But i just wanna have fun. To make myself to become a better player. :D:D Cya:D:D

Weeee
Ok. So i've just restrung my racquet. :D:D
I wanna play! But theres no one to play with. I meant play tennis. Mwahahahaha.
Ok. I should stop playing. Ive turned black and thin. My parents and sis said that i've become so thin. Yeap. I realised it. Last time i used to wear size 32 or 33 pants. But now, im wearing size 30. Even size 30 is a lil bit big for me. I shud wear size 29 then. Which is the same as my brother's size. Wth.
Ok so Mondays theres no lesson i guess. :D:D Tuesday theres one hour of lecture. :D:D
Basically first week of school im always free. No Labs and Tutorials. Next week is my tournament!! Yayz. And also my tennis team's recruitment drive. My shift is on friday. Sigh. I dun have lesson this friday and i have to come to school like 9 to 5???? Grrrrrr. Nvmlah.

Heyaz.
My tennis camp finally ended. And i've turned black again. Grr.
Anyway, the camp was actually from 9 am to 9 pm. But Kenneth didnt inform some ppl. Including me. So i only came at 2 pm. Ghalib too.. and a few others. Grr.
But its ok. Less hours to spend.
So as soon as i arrived, we did drills. Then we played a match. I had a rematch with Shawn. I won 9-2. Shawn's balls were flying everywhere. I meant tennis balls. Mwahaha. Dunno lah he. He kept asking me to give chance. How am i supposed to give chance? He keep hitting the balls out??? I give him low balls, high balls, slow balls, fast balls, he keep making errors. Grrr.. But nvmlah
Then we had a break at 5 pm. So coach asked everyone to stop hitting and shower. But Malcolm and Gladys didnt. But malcolm didnt stop playing. At about 7 pm, coach went up to Malcolm and asked if he had showered. Then Malcolm kinda asked him back if its necessary or something. I didnt hear coz i was hitting at that time. Then all i heard is coach asked "are u trying to be a smart aleck?" Then coach went off and disappeared.
From then on i knew something wasnt right. About 20 mins later, coach came back and shouted right at Malcolm's face. With all the F word. I was like woahh.. He only aimed Malcolm. Not anyone else.
But it ended moments later. He handed over the camp to my captain. But i hope things will go back to normal. It seems that now coach hates Malcolm from what he shouted at him.
So after that, we played doubles match. Me partnered Ryan. Against Shawn and Jon. Unfortunately we lost 7-6(5). Ryan!! Double faulted at their matchpoint. Grrr. Happy lah Shawn, lost me in singles but won me in doubles. Grr.
Then we match up against Ghalib and Sam. And we won 6-1. Yay. So after that, we rallied a bit before we went to shower and went home together. :D:D.
Finally, the timetable was released yesterday. It was okay. I hate tues and wed. Long day. Mon and Fri starts at 12pm. Yay! Tues start at 8 am!! With that stupid APEL. Grrr. I hope Paul would be flexible about it. Coz from past experiences, he's been flexible about e timing. So hope he wont get us to drag out of bed at 8. So im really excited to start school!!! BYE!!

But nvm abt that. So it was abt 5.30 pm when it started to pour like madness. So i decided to go home for a while. The camp will resume at 7 pm. But then, it was still raining. So i kinda lazy to go back.
Haha. So yea.

Heyaz
So yesterday i went out in the evening to so called celebrate Husna's birthday. We met at Bedok at 6 pm. So we couldnt decide where to go. But in the end, we decided to go Bugis to have dinner. At some chinese coffeeshop. I was surprised to see many malay youngsters eating there. The food was alright.
So after that, we went to Marina Square. We went to hunt for Husna's present. Haha. We went round and round. Finally, we bought for her a bag. I hope she likes it. And sorry
that i only contribute a small amount. Still now im left with 2 dollars. So i have to live with it till my school re opens.
But nvm. I really enjoyed my time. With all the fun and laughter. Thanks guys.
Forgot to add that we had cakes at secret recipe!! Yummy.

Morning
Hey so this morning i had to wake up at 6 am. Coz i went for my bro's enlisment exercise. Me together with my dad, mom and grandma.
So we took a bus from Pasir Ris Interchange. Which brought us to the Changi Ferry Terminal. Whereby we had to take a ferry to Pulau Tekong. I was pleasantly surprised by the place. Its called the Basic Millitary Training centre or something. Its very nice place. I thought its some kinda run down place or something.
It had quite a number of facilities such as swimming pool and gymnasium. Then we got to see the enlistee's rooms! And its so nice. They had replaced the mattress to spring mattress. Omg. So comfy.
Then, after the tour around the school, we had our lunch which was provided. It was actually food tasting whereby we get to know what army food tastes like. And surprisingly its very nice! I ate it to my heart's content. The meal is actually nasi lemak. But very nice. Got chicken got sausage and vege and fishcake. But my mom didnt like it. But its ok.
Soon after that, the moment arrived. We wished farewell to my bro. Sad moment. But its ok. I hope that he enjoys his time there and make a lot of friends. Yea. Then we made our way back home.
I was so tired that i slept as soon as i arrived home without changing my clothes!
Yea.
Evening
So in the evening as usual i went for my training. Woot. Today's training is great. Firstly, we helped to settle the lockers. We just got 2 new lockers. Then we kinda helped out to tidy them up. We just discovered balls! There were 3 boxes of tennis balls. 1 box theres 24 cans. 1 can theres 3 balls. So do ur maths. Haha.
Last time we had issues with the amount of balls coz they were limited. Now we can use balls like never b4. Mwahahaha.
So unfortunately, when we were about to start training, it started to rain. It wasnt heavy. Juz like drizzling. But soon it stopped. Then we rolled the courts. While rolling, it started to drizzle again. So we waited. Coach almost cancel the training. But nobody will know when miracle will happen. Haha.
So it was like 7 plus i think. The rain stopped totally. We practised our volleys. Then coach had to leave earlier. YAY. But before that, we were sent out to the courts for singles matchplay! YAY!!. Because today theres only 14 ppl.
We played first to reach 9 games. My opponent is Ghalib. Mwahahaha. Surprisingly, i thrashed him 9-2 in the first set and 4-1 in the second. Im very happy with the way i played. Yay. Ive gained back my form! Coz i tot that i would screw up. But i made many great shots and i made him run a lot. Haha.
So yea. :)

Omg i lost 6-2 6-1 to Jonathan. Actuali it was 5-1 second set i think. Then Jon kinda injured himself mwahahaha. But then again. He still gonna win anyways.
Anyway basically i didnt play well because of my chest injury. I cant run much. My forehand sucked. I forgot how to hit my forehand today.
Maybe if im in my better form, i can defeat him. I lost to him 6-4 6-4 in our previous meeting. Dang~ i will b facing him in the ladder match. I have to be in my top form man to beat him. He is such a good player. Very very consistent. Wont give u free points one. His first serve is like 90% or so. Die. My first serve is like 50%. Sigh.
But now theres no more chest pain u noe. I wanted to go to the doctor but pain had gone away so i thought there might not be any prob with me. I hope.

Hey.
My back hurts so bad yesterday and this morning. My left side. Both my chest and my back. And it really affected my breathing. I couldnt breath properly yesterday night. When i breath in, my chest felt pain. Iskz.
I dont know what is the cause. Maybe its because of my adidas bag? K nvm. Because i think ive been carrying that bag in a wrong way. Hmm..
Anyway, it started when i was in the MRT yesterday heading home. My chest and my left arm suddenly starts to hurt real bad. Then, as time went by, it got worse. Every step that i made, my chest would hurt. So i end up walking very slowly. Sigh.
When i got home, i sat down, and theres weird sounds coming from my chest area. Like thumpings. I dunno whats that. But it went away when i stood up or lay down.
Its weird. So this morning when i woke up, the pain is still there. My chest and back felt sore. Or maybe its because i played too much tennis???? I still felt pain when i breathed.
But somehow or rather, now, the pain has faded slowly. Still a lil bit of pain. But its gonna be alright i hope.

HeLLo.
Omglah. Just now we had a friendly match with ACJC as mentioned in my previous post. I came at 9 am to warm up. To my horror, 6 courts are taken up by the ACJC people. Whereas my school only occupied one court! Wow.
It was disappointing lar. Only 3 girls from my sch came! And theres only 8 guys from my sch came. Wth. I think ACJC is twice the amount.
Ape seh. Was quite pai seh lah. The good girls from my school not there. Such as Glad, Pearlyn, Pat and Cheryl. The guys, Justin and Ryan couldnt make it. How bout the rest??? Shawn, Sam, Yu Jian??? Sam is damn PS lor. Always say wanna come but never come!!! Argh.
Ok nvm. Eventually, TP lost ALL matches. YES. ALL!!
The girls lost in both doubles and singles. El played singles and lost 9-7. Close match!!. ANd u noe what? WEI WEN LOST! He is one of the best lor.
Anyway. The most disappointing part is I DIDNT GET TO PLAY! Coz of the RAIN!!.
I didnt understand seh. There were empty courts. They didnt get us to play. Me and scott i meant. We were supposed to play doubles. But they made us wait and wait. I dunno wait for what also. ACJC have a lot of guys out there. They could have just arrange a match. In addition, me and scott is the last pair who was yet to play. And we are the only pair who didnt get to play. Everyone else get to play can! Sheesh.
Nvmlah. Wat to do rite.
In the end, i went to SP to hit. It was ok. Nigel they all came late!!!! they came at 5+++ pm. When the session supposed to start at 3! Haiz. Nvm lah. I had a pretty good workout. Sorry Xris that i didnt play with Bernard. Cya!

Hey so.
School is starting in 3 weeks time. Im quite looking forward to it.
And, my brother is going NS next wednesday. Im very nervous for him. I dunno y. He is not nervous though. Lol.
So yea. Life has been boring for me.
Last time, ive been talking about the tennis ladder match rite. Now, ive successfully registered myself. And im feeling pretty happy. This competition is divided into 5 divisions. Div A to E. Im in the D Division. So yea. Hope that i will do well in it. I have to pay a cost of $15 and also $40 deposit. The $40 will be returned after the competition ends. So, its pretty inexpensive. Its gonna start at the end of may. So yea. Really looking forward to it.
