Judy finished reading Twilight and I haven't even finished reading Lord Of The Rings Part 1. I seriously gotta start massive reading. But the problem is that I'm always squashing and I don't have the time to read alot at a go coz I'm always out. Like I'm meeting Hayley for a game in 20 minutes.

It's gonna be tournament after tournament for 4 consecutive weeks.
1. 1 Day Tournament at North Shore
2. 1 Day Tournament at Eden Epsom
3. Auckland Open & Graded Champs at Papakura
4. 1 Day Tournament at Henderson.

It's gonna be a busy month for me. On top of that, school is starting in 2 days.

----------------------------------------------------------
I got to talk to Wanning yesterday. Ohmannn, I haven't talked to her since the day the whole squash team sent me off at the airport. It's good to be able to catch up with her. So far, I've only talked to Rach and Wanning out of all the other squashies. Yeah I know they're very busy. I owe all of them an email, especially Wanning. Also the cell group people: Steffi, Rachel Kan, Debbie, Clare, Amelea. Will email them as soon as the competition is over tmr.

Now i gtg squash. toodles!

Run It Back Again

OMGGG.

My arm and my legs are aching like crazy now. Carol decided to be mean yesterday and made me and Young-eun run as a punishment if we don't make the number that we were supposed to make.

eg. Started off with forehand drives. As usual, I could pick the number of drives I needed to make. The drives MUST be behind the 3/4 court line and not bouncing off the glass. At first I wanted 12, then Carol said that Young-eun could only do SIX(?! she's a B grader). So I just took the risk and chose 8. Had 3 chances to make it if not I have to run(ghosting, court sprints, box run etc) the number I chose +5, which makes 13.

My volleys are the suckiest out of all others and i had to run dunno-how-many times. After that was drops. I was supposed to make 20 in a row but i didn't so she made me run FORTY court sprints. She said she will run with me but she never did it in a long time. So in the end I was still running and Carol stopped halfway. Then boasts. It was alright, PHEW. Damn I was tired. Greta and Ms Perry was watching me. Then Greta said it looks very scaryy. hahaha. YEAH MAN YOU SHOULD TRY.

I'm still a bit tired from it now but I should be back to normal tmr. Tournament on Sunday at 9am.

school starts in 3 days.

Confused

I just got back from my game with Hayley. It went well. I FINALLY GOT MY BACKHAND BACK! After dunno how many weeks, finally my backhand is back to normal. I was suffering alot from the matches without a proper backhand.

Went to the "aquarium" just now. It was quite fun. Pics will be uploaded later cause there's just too many and Judy and Jessica hasn't sent me the others. Probably next week when Jessica passes me her thumbdrive. School starts in a week and i haven't finished my reading log and physics assignment. grrrr

At least i have nothing on tmr so i can finish up what i need to then i won't be too worried about it

Now Is The Time

I was supposed to play with Claire(again) today but she didn't come so I had a walkover. Damn I hate walkovers. Even though you still "win" but the feeling isn't the right one. Tmr I'll be playing Kirsty Young. I saw her play today. It's gonna be a tough game for me, gotta get on my feet and start running around lots I think. Mygosh there were so many people at the tournament today, superduper crowded. The court sounds a little weird when i hit the ball

I still haven't finished reading Lord Of The Rings. Got a reading log due when school re-opens.

when you look me in the eyes

NO MONEYYYY

Vic&Jaz are going to HONGKONG. damn. I want to go but i need $3000++ and i don't have that much money. Only if i were working then i could save up enough money to fund myself or get a sponsor and fly everywhere to compete. I can only work next year and the sponsorship thing will come only if i turn professional.

whateverrrr. i'll just work at the proshop and save up the money to go on trips. i'll have to wait till next year for that.

NZ Junior Open tmr and i don't know who i'm playing against. Could be anyone from F grade to E grade.

Never There

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:26:26 GMT

Today was.. okay? I woke up then watched a bit of tv. My mum suddenly started nagging at me so i went for a run to get rid of all the thoughts.

Had a game with Kelila at 4.20, got back at 5.30, dinner, blahblahblah. OHHH. I forgot to mention that I got into the "A" school team! At first I thought I couldn't make it in coz there were just too many D,C and B graders. hahaha. But i got in! I'm in the same team as Kelila, Greta and dunno-who-else. I'll go check more when school re-opens. KYMBERLY WONG IS FINALLY ONLINE!

NZ Junior Open this friday. Just got my draw. Playing at 5.20pm! Re-strung my racket. Same string as the one mr koh strung for me.

AND OMGGGG. VANESSA WOON IS GOING TO NZ FOR SABBATICALS. rachel choe, diane, and others that i don't know got in too! I can see them YAY!

I feel that we're drifting further and further apart

the hols has started. I don't really feel excited or whatever, but at least it's a break from all the homework and the tests. 2 weeks more to term 2! Time has passed really fast. I've been here for 3 months alr. Seems like a long time but sure doesn't feel like it.

Jessica has Prison Break Season 2! FINALLY I GET TO WATCH! season 3's last episode is tmr but i haven't even watched the whole of season 2 yet. Hope we go out sometime soon so i can pass her Secret DVD and she can pass me Prison Break.

I have holiday homework to do geog workbook and bio ws. My geog teacher is so evil to give us pages of work. SHEESH. Geog is so.. useless? i don't know. We're learning about volcanoes now and the previous chapter was about Gold Mining. BORINGG. that's why i keep on telling jessica not to take geog cause it's not any better than Environmental Science. But i need geog in case i can't make it for english. Hope i can drop English at Year 13!! The worst thing is that everything we learn must be within NZ. grrrrr. Even for english.

Now i'm really bored. I should get down to doing geog. Everyone is having midyears now back in SG.

i hope we get to see each other soon.

You took me into the future

I gotta get back into running. I ran today and realised how unfit I am now. Even my sis is running 1 hour every single day because of her swimming training. Sooner or later she'll be FIT! Gotta be equally fit. I need that motivationnnnn
But I also have NZ Junior Open to worry about. It's in 2 weeks time and my backhand still feels really odd. I asked Carol last on weds but she said it's just the timing problem so more practice will fix that. My return of serves are still super sucky Played a game with Calvin yesterday and I couldn't return most of the volleys.

Now I'll go back to reading Lord Of The RIngs.

Cheers
