Today is my 2nd match of the season.

It was suppose to be my 3rd match, but I missed one match because I went overseas for the service trip. My team lost that match, but it was alright. Today match was against Bedok CSC B. I was having a very strong feeling that I would play very well today.

I did my warm ups and then it was match time. I didn't play the first quarter. I must say that I was quite disappointed that I didn't play. But also, it helped me to read the game from outside. And the second quarter I was substitituted in, I was happy that I could start doing some real job and work hard now. I didn't intercept any ball for the first 2 goals of the quarter. But from the mid court, I saw the rebound made by the opponent, and next was the pass. I ran and intercepted it so clearly with no mistakes. I feel my hand grabbing the ball, and next thing I remember was I was on the floor and my right ankle was hurting so badly that I couldn't move it. I lay there on the floor crying.

I got carried out of the court and I couldn't play for the rest of the game. I was really upset the entire time. It is my first time injuring my ankle and I was really upset about it. I know that it is a very serious sprain and that I am unable to play sports for the next few months. Another sad thing was that we lost with a score of 54 to 37.

Chiang Mai Service Trip

2009-06-15T23:46:00.001+08:00

We left Singapore for Chiang Mai on 1^st June 2009. Before the trip, we have already planned out what we were suppose to do – teach the children and build the house. We also have prepared certain things such as our culture night items, books and clothing for the villagers.

Upon reaching the village, we were greeted with warm welcome from the villagers. We had to travel about 2hours up the village before we settled down on our house we were staying for the next few days. When we first entered the house, the place was filled with dust and insects. At first, everyone was not very comfortable with the environment and started to shriek and scream. But I thought to myself, if I continue to have this type of mind-set, I would not go far in achieving my goals and aim for this service trip. We settled down and cleaned the house, we were provided dinner where we didn’t have tables and chairs to sit on. We had to sit at the pavement to eat our dinner in darkness.

For the next 3 days, we were spilt into 2 groups and some had to go teach at the local primary school and while the others had to build the house. For the 2^nd day, my group had to build the house. When we reached the location, we were wondering where the bricks are. To my surprised, we had to make the bricks ourselves by using the soil and mixing it with rain grains. This is a great learning experience as it is my first time making bricks out of soil! The bricks too very long to harden up, however, we were told to just use the bricks to make the foundation and we did. We did it for a long 8hours. When we got back to the village, we were tired and wanted to wash up. We realized that the toilets were all public toilets and that the water has no heater. But nevertheless, we endured the cold water and managed to bathe.

Yupp. I only played 1 quarter as I had to rush off back to school for camp. It was a pity that I didn't play much, but I think I played quite well for the quarter that I played. (:

Our last match to determine whether we are through to the quarter-finals! (:

It wasn't a good played game, but we won. I felt that the heat was draining our energy away from us. But without blaming anything, I feel that I didn't put in my best today because I lost my temper at the student-umpire because she was very bias. I'm sorry team! But we won still. (:

Final Score : 25 - 11 to ACS International!

AND WE ARE THROUGH TO THE QUARTER-FINALS AS WE MERGE FIRST IN OUR TABLE.

Sports Module - Street Soccer

2009-02-04T20:08:00.005+08:00

Today, it is my first lesson of learning soccer. We had different choices of sports to play - Touch Rugby, Dance:Hip-Hop, Soft Ball and Soccer (Street). And I chose Soccer.

It is my first time learning how to play scoccer. It's not the scoccer that you see on the television where it is 11 aside playing on a big field. It is in an enclose area playing street soccer, with no outs.

Mr Peh, our teacher-in-charge was our instructor for this sport. It was a girls' module, thus it was all girls. My friends and I were all so excited to play soccer as it was all our first time. First we were taught the parts of our foot so that we know which parts of our foot to kick the ball. We did some warm up passing, and then soccer 'monkey'. It was fun, but we were too impatient, so we played a match.

It was 6 aside per team. We had 1min to stratagize about how we were going to play. It was very very fun to play. My team won 4-1, but again, everyone is a winner. And that's how we ended the lesson. (:
