Wee!!!

Finally a post from me.

Well first and foremost, i would like to thank everyone who has been so concerned about me. I honestly appreciate it. i actually didnt know that anyone would be concern. Though frankly it bothers me sometimes. But its fine. Nevertheless, i wanna say that im fine and i have no problems. Im enjoying life. Im happy. no worries :)

Firstly, tennis has been part of my life. I understand why ppl question abt this. I know my tennis schedule looks ridiculous sometimes. I know these days i have been playing non stop. Not only that but i travel around singapore. Juz wanna enlighten. I only play like that this week. Usually, i will only play about 2-3 times per week.

There are reasons why i travel and/or i play so many times. Main reason is because of stress. As u guys may noe, i just finished my exams. Another reason is because of my free time. The reason why i spend my free time by playing tennis is because, i love tennis. Theres nothing else i can do? Even sometimes my schedule are tight, i still can find time for tennis. Coz its my passion. I understand why ppl question this. because they dont go through what i am going through rite now. Its the same thing afterall. If u have passion for something, you would spend time for it. im sure each and everyone of you have your own passion for something.

Another issue is regarding my expenses. Well, you guys dun have to worry bout it yea. Im given $50 bucks weekly allowance(inclusive of ezlink fare). It is for school. And i usually, dont spend a lot of money on unnecessary stuffs. End up, i still have quite an amount of balance at the end of every week. So i save it up. And part of this i use it to cover my tennis expenses. Yet, i dun overspend. I have my limits too.

Well, sometimes i do ask for extra money when i go out. Not only for tennis. Sometimes when i go out with frens too. So, i cant blame tennis alone that i always ask my parents extra pocket money. infact i rarely ask extra money for tennis. most of the time because i go out with frens to eat or whatever. Then i ask extra money.

I hope i have already enlighten everyone. Hope you guys dun have to worry about me anymore. I juz wanna be happy. i wanna make everyone happy too. :) :)

Weee~
I can't believe i won Colin in singles matchplay! First time ever in my life. And i won him 6-1, 6-3. Omg. I really worked really hard. Haha.. I made him run until he "pancit". I kinda pitied him. He went for so many breaks in between games. We played 6-8pm. Then we have another session at 8-10 pm. But doubles. Theres 8 ppl altogether. SO its ok.. Juz rally.. (Ok i noe we are a bunch of crazy ppl play tennis non stop). But, Colin didnt play much. He left early coz he was very tired. I was like.. omg. i made him tired? I wasnt that tired actually. Furthermore im playing tmr at 9 am? Omgosh la

Ok lets put tennis aside ok? Now, im worried. Coz, i will be having my interview for SIP (attachment) at KKH on monday!!! Omg... I juz finished CSAS interview skills test. Now, its time for me to apply what ive learnt. haha.. Its a good thing afterall.. :) So i dun have to worry so much coz i learnt the necessary skills for interviews. It kinda help me prepare la. So yea. Hopefully i will do well in it.. Wish me luck:)

Hey.
Wee!!! Juz now was my last paper. And the paper was BPharm. It was easy actually but i didnt really take advantage of it. I forgot some stuffs. But i think i can pass.

Then, yea, it rained. And i had my tennis session at Jurong west as mentioned in my previous post. So i played with this guy. Singles. First time i met this guy. And i tell u i dont like his attitude. He is so crude. U noe we played a match. And i won him 6-4 6-3. He rates himself as 3.5. Im only 3.0-3.5. And i dont think he is 3.5. I think he is more of a 3.0. He said that today he is off form. He inconsistent. Bleah. The way he hits, i know he is like that. He just trying to cover up.

Thats not it. The thing is, after the match he can say bad things about me? He said i dunno how to serve properly. But he said im consistent and thats good. Then he go on saying i hit soft. And all my balls are short and ppl can easily kill. Go on, he said if he is on form, he will definitely kill all my short balls. He also said that im the type of player who dunno how to hit hard like him. I was like...hello..Who won who?? Besides, we just met for the first time.. And u saying those things. If we know each other well its ok la.Grr.. That spoiled my day actually.

But then i went to Grange Heights. I actually reached at 9.15 pm! When its supposed to start at 8. Haha. Bleah~

tmr still got match.. Im so tired......~~ Not only that, i got another session also...Die!!

Weee~~
Three papers over

Laboratory Animal Science & Technology (LAST)

Omg. Quite tough for me. I didnt noe how to do many questions. Coz, i didnt focus on topic 5. Lols. Infact i skipped 5.2 and 5.3. Too many things to stuff into my brain. Get this. Im not that good at memory work. Brrr... Supp paper here i come. :S Lol. NO lar. Hope to pass.

Drug Development & Clinical Trials (DDCT)

I studied for this. Coz i did pretty well for term test 1. So i hope to get similar or better results. However, after i sat the paper, chances are slim. But nvm. Able to pass.

Recombinant Technology & Bioinformatics (Rtechb)

My past results have been consistent. As in, i always pass marginally. So, yea. I think i can pass this paper? So probably get marginal pass too. T_T. Its okie. At least i pass.


So yesterday after Rtechb paper, me and Aili, Carol, Grace and Juan went to eat! Celebrate after exams. Though exams not over! But i felt like exams over. Haha. Coz left one more paper on Wednesday.

So we went to Seoul Garden! Which is ok for me. Coz i went there like twice this month including this one. Im quite sick of the raw chicken and beef and stuffs like that. And u have to cook it somemore. But nvmlah. Thats y i'd rather eat cooked food. :D:D BUt its fun anyways. :D

Hey


Weee~~ On Saturday, me and my family went to Sakura International Buffet at downtown east. :D. Well, that was my second time there. I went there like last month isit? With my clique. But i kinda like it. We wanted to go to Carousel or something but my sis said it was not as great. Except for the choc fondue! Brrr. But, Sakura is good enough. Only $20++ person. Furthermore, i didnt have to pay. Coz my sis treated everyone. Wee~~ To celebrate my dad's birthday which was on the 14th.

I like Sakura because the fact that it has a wide variety of food. Though, many didnt give good reviews on it. But its ok.

So yea, i didnt eat as much as last time. Last time, i ate, the next day, i didnt feel like eating. Whereas, this time, only after a few hours later, i still feel like eating. Brrr.. But its ok... Coz maybe i didnt have the motivation. Coz, that time when i went out with my friends, i used my own money ok. Thats y i ate everything that i could coz i forked out the money for that. However this time round, my sis treated. Hehehe..

So i only took a few pics.

So my next lesson is at 4 pm. Mwahaha. Almost 6 hrs of break. Waste of time only. Supposed to have RtechB revision. But it wasnt a revision afterall. We juz recall some stuffs for a few mins and the lecturer returns us all the test papers. Blah. And it took less than an hour. Brrr. Waited for 6 hrs juz for that??? Grrr.

But nvmlah. ~

OMg

Cant believe that i actually skipped the LAST prac test. BRrr.. I seriously have no confidence to do it. Brrrr.. Nvm. Will study hard for term test.

So, u can call me crazy again. Coz i travelled all the way to lakeside for tennis. Coz i felt so stressed. I will always travel when i feel so stressed. Remember i went to Jurong west once right after exams. Hahaha. So now, i went to lakeside. :D

So, I hate taking crowded bus when i dunno where the place that im going to. Brr. I took this bus 98 from Jurong east. Then, it wasnt crowded til it reached Lakeside mrt. And i wanted to get up before the crowd fills the bus. But i was too late. I was stranded. Then, it was also difficult to see outside coz of the crowd. Then i have no idea where to stop. Further more its night time. I noe the stop is one or two stops after lakeside mrt. So i juz pushed my way through the crowd. And alight the bus. I realised i missed 2 bus stops. Tsk3. Grrr. Then i walked all the way.

So i reached the condominium. Weee~~~ Played with Levin. First time playing with him. I was like, wth. He is damn powerful. His flat serve is like so fast. He aced me so many times. But he is not consistent at all. He only served well the first few games. Then, he started using his kick serve. Which is so slow. But it kicks up. But i like coz i can attack. WEee!! I was down 2-0. But came back to win the match 7-5, 6-1. =D So happy. Coz, i finally gained confidence to win the ladder match. Jiayou Faiz!

More pics! Thanks to Niz for the pics =)

Omg. Im so stressed.

I have so many decisions to make.

I have this assignment. DDCT. And i didnt even bother to do. I dont even know where and how to start. Omg. And i felt that i couldnt be bother abt it. Brrr. But then again. I have to do it. Brrr. BUt i dunno how to. :S

On the other hand, tmr i also have LAST prac test. I felt like not going for it coz i dun have any confidence. T_T. I felt that its better for u to not go, rather than going there and failing to do it. Which i felt that way. Coz i will definitely not succeed in it. Then the lecturer will like what towards u and also the animals will be harmed. So... I really dunno. I havent make any decisions yet. T_T T_T. Coz next week theres another LAST test but its a written one. SO maybe i thought that could complement this. Hmmmm..... *faints*

Warning! Topic: Tennis Again

Brr. Not for a non-tennis enthusiast

Anyway, im sad, that James had to withdraw from the ladder match. Brr.. Im sorry for him and also myself. Coz, ive given my heart and soul for the match. I won him with great effort. Bah.. Now it all went down the drain. I also forked out $15 for it. (court and ball fees)

but nvm. I guess, the experience is worth more.

Anywayz, Ive completed my 5th match with Sham. i juz gonna give the analysis of the match ok. So i defeated him 5-7, 6-2, 6-1

First set: Crap! He plays so different from everyone in this world. He plays a "no-pace" game. And also he is 100% purely defensive player. He is pretty muscular guy. But its a shame that he didnt hit hard or something. He is the type of player who waits but not attack. But, i didnt have an easy time. Coz, as ive mentioned before, he has an advantage. His motility. He is quick, and runs very fast. And... has a very good stamina. Brrr.. Doesnt sound good to me.

So yea, move on.. First set.. i had a tough time. I allowed him to play his game. I was so foolish! U noe he likes play slice and slow balls. I followed his style. Coz my usual game plan is to attack. But everytime i attack, or wanting to give a winner, he will chase the crap out of the ball and gave me all these high lobs. This happens like almost every point. SO its very very very difficult. And our points are all very very very long. Like 20+ shots. Coz both of us are very consistent players. And, the frustrating thing is, i always make error during very long points. Brrrrr.. I was so frustrated. I was leading 5-3 in the first set. But i juz couldnt close it out!!! Thats y i changed my game plan and followed his style. Which is slices, and slow balls. But he always give me this drop shot that is a killer!!! I really had no answers to it. I lost the first set 7-5.

Then, during the break, i thought over it. Decided to change my game plan yet again. Which is to just attack and attack. But be consistent. Omg. And it worked!!! but the thing is i had to wait for him to make error. And i had to force him to make error. So yea, after winning the second set 6-2, i gained confidence and played that way till the end. Which i won the last set 6-1. It was a tiring match and its under the hot sun! Can u imagine. We started at abt 8.30 and ended at abt 10.45. Tsk3. I was relieved to have won the match. Phew!

Hey ya.

Wee~ Juz now went out with Niz. So long~~~ since the last time we went out together like this. Mwahaha.

So, i met Niz at Bedok at 2.25 pm. Thou we were supposed to meet at 2.22 pm. But nvm.

So yea. So off we went to Bugis. And guess where we went? SEOUL GARDEN!! Weee~ Thou i wasnt as enthusiastic as i was before. But still, i kinda like the ambience of it. Omg. The cooker thing is so annoying. U noe when i cook the chicken and stuff, it kinda get smoky and percik percik. If noe what i mean. And the smoke got into my eyes and it really hurt. And the soup boiled like no body's business. But that doesnt matter. I had a great time there. I mean, the food is always the same. So yea. But i really love the brownie.


So after that, off we went to Orchard. =) We went from Somerset station. Went to centrepoint, walked all the way to orchard. :S By then, it has started to rain. Brrr. BUt it was fun. Walking in the rain. So as usual, we went to usual places. So then, we were talking about starbucks. Then, Coffee Bean came into my mind. Coz its halal now rite. Hahahaha. So ive been wanting to try Coffee Bean instead. So yea, off we went to Paragon's coffee Bean. Weee~~~ So, we ordered this Caramel thing. Which is quite nice to me. Then we ordered this cake. Which i felt it is not nice. But we finished it anywaez. But i had fun and laughter. Enjoyed my time there. So at the end of the day, i felt so full. Then, off we went around paragon and visited Lucky Plaza for a while to take a look at perfumes. But didnt buy it anyway. Soon, its time for me to go home. Niz, went off to Taka alone coz he needed to go Harbourfront. Sorry bout that yea. So i took 65 home. Weee~~

Overall, i had a good time. Its been a while. SO yea. Thats abt it i guess. Here are some pics!

3rd match: I won Dave 6-4 6-1

woot~ Wasnt as enthusiastic. Coz ppl said i surely win. I should be in c div but i joined d div. But C div got so many damn good players. Hence i joined this Div. :)

So, I won Dave coz probably he is injured. If he is on form,i think i would have a tough time. Besides, i snapped my strings halfway thru the match. Wth. The strings is so not durable. I strung it last two sundays. Brrr.. And i played only several times. And it does not give any signs that its gonna snap. Brrr...

But fortunately, Dave brought a spare racq. Ppl worried i might not be able to play well with other ppl's racq. But then again, its the player, not the racquet. In the end, i won the match. Thanks Dave!!!

Anyway, i quickly rushed to Almerick's to string my racq. I chose the cheapest string ever. But pretty good. And this is my first time that i get to see Almerick string live!! And, i get to see his crib too!!! Cool stuff. He lives in this RI boarding school. He lives with Elizer. Its like one room thing. Its pretty small but very cozy. Cool! I love it. That made my day. And Almerick and Elizer are cool ppl. Love the way they speak. They have this accent coz they are frm the philippines. so yea. I hope i can get that kinda opportunity again. weee~~ having match with Aaron Lee tmr..so wish me luck!

Wee~ i won my second match. Against Elizer 6-1 6-3. I didnt really expected to win so easily. Elizer is definitely a good player. But maybe he needs to work on his consistency. I didnt do anything special or whatsoever. I juz brought in my consistency game. Which worked out well. SO im happy abt it. And so tmr i will be having another match with Dave and Sunday i will be having yet another one with Aaron. SO yea. Wish me luck! ;)
