[ [ the story of me, not you. ] ]

somebody really weird once told me 'motivation gets you started, results keep you going' then i wondered.. we don't have results. so what keeps us going? but i guess the answer has been there all along. determination and perseverance. since when have we not been training? since when have we pon trainings cause we were to tired or we had other things to attend to? other things could always wait, trngs were always first on our priorities list. if so, there is absolutely no reason why we all cannot play properly neither is there any excuse to not give our best. strong opponents is not an excuse its just a sign of weakness on our part. bias referee is not an excuse either its just another reason to cover up our poor attitude towards the game.

our match today was a chance for us to get familiar weaknesses and further improve on our strengths. so what if we lost? we lost with pride and dignity because we didn't give up. so what if we had many miss pass? it doesn't lead to the end of the world, we just have to learn how to pick ourselves up again. so what if we didn't score the ball? nobody can shoot all their balls in, the most important thing is that we tried.

i know we did badly, but not all is lost.. we still have a second chance to win everything back. and I'm sure we'll be able to do it. so fellow teammates, don't give up so soon. trust in yourself and jiaolian. just because we lost one match doesn't mean we can't own the other matches. :D cheer up you people! :D we'll fight back every score we lost today on the following matches, no matter what it takes.

Joline:

we are a team there is no such thing as YOU cause everybody to lose. its a TEAM game. nobody can cause the team to lose. if its anybody fault, it our whole team fault. so its not your fault.. if you're feeling really bad then pick your standard back again :D you didn't play badly, you're just putting too much pressure on yourself.. i know what JL says can be very confusing at times. but you have to remember, the ball is in your hands and you are the one playing on the court, not JL. so ultimately, the decision is yours. sometimes JL can be wrong too.. because he is not the one playing so it seems easier for him to say but actually pretty hard to do. don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself, just play YOUR game and follow YOUR instincts. and instead of apologising, save the energy to win back what you've lost today on our upcoming matches. cheer up ok? i have confidence in you :D

so.. school has been going on for.. 2 days :D we just had a long long trng today and my legs felt like they each put on 2kg weights! it was super hard to run up and down the court. i guess its cause we took too long a break =.= i hate it when we take long breaks like that.. its so senseless. it breaks off our momentum and our stamina will inevitably drop. why cant our trngs be more spread out? its so cluttered and we always find ourselves with 3 consecutive days of trng and another 4 days of not trng. =.= by the time we return to the court, we'll probably take too long to get back our form..
anw lessons haven't really began yet so its still ok :D haha i think i need to bring pieces of red-cut chilli to eat when i'm falling asleep :D its the only way to keep my heavy eyelids from shutting :D
and. i'm having a really hard time controlling my feelings but im guessing you're having it worse..so i don't really want to make it tougher for you. Afterall, its all about putting others before yourself isn't it?
please help me God.

so we lost to dunman c girls yesterday... i still rmb all the stupid bloody mistakes i made =.=
the 2 freethrow that i missed. the balls that didnt even touch the rim. the shot that i was suppose to hold and not throw it away, i wasn't even standing properly.. how to shoot!?! the pass made to cheryl that was too hard. what was i even thinking of when i played yesterday?? why was everything so off? i threw away so many balls that could've been scored by other people.. i didn't deserve to play at all. JL was right. i gave away the opportunity to score so i should chase it back. but what did i do?..stand there and look at the rest of my teammates chase the ball. wtf. what is wrong with me? i dont want to think anymore about yesterday's game. i'll chase every score i missed-during the dunman match-back on sunday.
we praise God when we win, and we'll praise God when we lose. with God, nothing is impossible.

i've got myself into a one to one duel..and you'll never guess who my opponent is.....my MUM.

''rachel!!! off your computer NOWWW!!! come down to walk with your father and i.''
seriously. what gave her the impression that i want to WALK with them?!?!!? their pace is.. hahahaha come to think of it, i think i inherited their slow walking pace seeing that i ALWAYS have to catch up with my dearest moqi who appears to zoom infront of me. don't even know what she is rushing for la! hahaha=D okay so going back..i will say

''uh..DON'T WANT LA! you come and play basketball with me la!!!'' and then there was silence.

''COME LA! I TAKE THE BALL AND THROW AT YOUR HEAD AR! THEN I TAKE THE BALL AND THROW AT YOUR COMPUTER! YOU THINK YOU VERY GOOD AR?!?'' wa..-.- her tremendous voice almost cause our whole house to collasp la. sure mum..by the time you carry the ball to my face i'll be standing there obediently waiting for you to throw the ball at me=DDD

hehheh. anw. she is the bomb la super patient. every half an hour can come to my bed and wake me up. she'll lean super close to my face and exclaim ''AIYOH!! YOU SEE LA SLEEP UNTIL LIKE THAT I CAN SEE FIVE PIMPLES ON YOUR FACE ALREADY!'' and then when i don't wake up she'll use another tactic like..''FRANKIE AR! WE GO AND EAT MEGUMI(its the name for a super nice jap restaurant) WITHOUT YOUR DAUGHTER! LET HER SLEEP THEN I CAN EAT MORE SHASHIMI blahblahblah'' one of these days i should go search for a shouting contest then sign my mum up=D heh can earn money=DD haha

its like the start of hols only? and my mum want to snatch away my computer!!! hmph. it helps when i'm taller than her..=DD so when i get really angry at her i can just stand up and glare down at her=DD hehheh but only can do that when she is in a good mood or else the consequences will be dire. haha
its pretty fun tho=D hahaha to tease my mum=D our special way of communication. even my dad can't stand it. when we were in TM today i refused to talk to my mum after eating lunch hahaha it was quite hilarious cause she come to me then whisper to me ''eh rachel you see that women she admiring my coach bag leh''
''you go away la!! i don't want to talk to you!!''
haha my dad was like ''okay girls..don't quarrel. rachel you stand here'' pull me to his left side ''then carol you stand here'' pull my mum to his right side. then to me ''rachel don't be so fierce to your mum la she very nice one'' to my mum ''carol ar. don't everyday nag la aiyoh we hear until very tired already.'' ''okay! problem solved'' my dad smile super widely to himself and then...''we go and eat dessert. what you all want to eat??'' HAHAHAHA.=DD food always solve all things=D

okay my mum is nagging again.=D life at home is getting pretty interesting=D
hehheh eh i would like to sincerely apologise to all the korean fans in 3/O i didn't mean to say that boys before flowers is not a nice show.. ITS AWESOME!!!!=DD haha no as in...seriously good. hahaha =DD the guys are hot stuff. =D esp kim bum=DD
