excellence can be attained
if you dream more than others think is practical;
expect more than others think is possible.

Hmm.. What's Jasmine doing? hehe!
The "Victory" Look
Jes & Me!
Everyone knows that having rice when you having a buffet is stupid so this is what Jasmine was doing just now... and tada!
You see it...
Now you don't!
haha! It's real funny lo! Anyway, we played zong ji mi ma there too. So Kitson, Jeslin & Jasmine kena. haha! It's real funny as we were planning to ask Jasmine to ask a guy's number if she tio and yup! There she went! Anyway, ACS guys totally sucks. Arrogant bastards. Zzz...
Shopped around and bought Jes a pair of shades for her birthday gift ^^ It's pretty cool.
Gosh! I still can't take my mind off that "Respect" blouse I saw at Heeren! It's pretty cool. Actually I didn't notice the word until Jes told me. The design is nice! haha!
xoxo Thursday, March 23, 2006 xoxo Wednesday, March 22, 2006 That's Jasmine getting her hair tied by Digna (my maid) That's my hair! =) Jeslin's! Jasmine's! Was really nervous and excited at the same time. It's really annoying to hear your stomache churning and churning. Somemore no dinner and no breakfast made it even worst. I was really afraid of being overweight and getting to run around and lose wieght at the last minute. Thank God I passed the weighing successfully =) Today's matches are actually all the A' Division judokas playing. So yup I need to play today. The Extra Light Category started of first. It's real sad and disappointing to see the girls and guys to be losing right from the start. Seeing Sul's disappointed expressions doesn't get me relax at all. The pressure was on and my first match: Samantha Chua (CHIJ Toa Payoh). Went up to the dojo, no one came out! Then the announcer announced that she had withdrawn from the competition! haha! I was pretty happy about it. One less match to play. haha! So it's against Vickie. The one match that I was looking forward to other than Nicola's. Waited and waited... Finally the time has come. She never did harai makikomi on me surprisingly. Think she tried ouchi gari and some footwork. Can't really remember much from that match seriously. If I didn't remember wrongly, I think I flipped her and went to groundwork. haha! I guess I just can't live without groundwork =) 25 seconds. IPPON! I was freaking happy! Like super happy! haha! I finally beat Vickie! *woot* Orange beat Brown! I felt damn good =) Nicola's turn. She won. She tada! Final show down: Qinqi vs Nicola. More waiting... But lost by Yoko during the Golden Time. Seriously speaking I did thought of playing with her but I'm more concentrated on the match against Vickie. I guess it just didn't turn out well. Planning wasn't done enough and lose to her. Lost means lost. There's nothing more to add on to it. But the route to being the Champion was really near! I'm super disappointed. I was quite breathless during the Golden Time already. I guess this is due to lack of running during the March Holidays. Sucks. Plus Wee Keat said that I actually got a lot of chance to attack but... I guess it still boils down to the same problem. I didn't go all out. My right leg somehow got stuck and that's it. Sucks. I guess losing this match makes we want to win her during the Age Group even more. No slacking and full gear! In the meantime I still must be aware of Vickie. I don't think she would let it just past. I MUST PRESS ON! Me and Sul! (okay, I looked super unglam with my messy hair cos it's after the match! Plus I'd been waiting to take a picture with Sul for some time. tsktsk!) Shin & me! (Watch out for her cause she's going to beat Naomi at Age Group!) The rest of the girls and guys: Don't give up alright! Nobody wants to lose but we got to train harder to win. There's still Age Group and Team Event for us to go all out! Beat those we had beaten us and make them pay double! Jiayou Jiayou Jiayou! ... Proceeded to Compass Point with the usual people plus Sul and had dinner at KFC. Didn't eat though as I wasn't feeling a bit hungry at all. This is quite usual for me. Slack in KFC with Jeslin, Jasmine, Shin, Kitty & Sul after the guys left. Talked cock and gossipt with Sul lo. haha! He's super funny lo! Told us about his days in poly to army to judo stuff.. He's pretty entertaining actually =p Erm.. Kitty is going to regret this! haha. Cause he got to attend a concert so he left the other way then Sul said he wanted to buy something so we just accompany him since we were taking the same route. So there he was at the Famous Amos shop wanting to buy cookies. Sul: Hey! You all want to eat? Jasmine: You treat ar? Sul: Ok lo. ^^ So nice right? So we thought he would buy one packet then 4 of us share in the end... Sul (to the salesgirl): 100, 100, 100 *pointing to the 3 different types of flavour* 4 packets, mixed. I was totally in shocked when I heard that while I was typing a SMS. What?! He's treating 4 of us one packet of Amous Cookie each?! Oh my god! He's super nice lo! *beaming* That's like quite expensive considering he buying a packet for himself too! haha! That's my Coach! =) Sul's super nice! Oh man! That makes me wanna win the Gold medal even more during Age Group! He's making me feel guilty lo! But he didn't mention about Age Group but just asked us to study hard for our papers next week... It's real nice to have a coach like Sul. Sometimes I feel he acts more like our brother than our coach. haha! It's nice to have a brother like Sul anyway. Anyway he really has my respect. Thinking that this is the last year I would be under him makes me kind of sad. I will continue Judo still if I got the chance but I guess other Coaches wouldn't be like him. Haix! Eoungh of me crapping. I got to start my Biology already. Heard that it's a killer. Zzz... xoxo xoxo Sunday, March 19, 2006 xoxo Thursday, March 16, 2006 xoxo Thursday, March 09, 2006 Love this logo!

So the mugging starts again. This is so sickening cause most of the NYJCians out there are now partying and I'm stuck at home pathetically with my Biology notes. *sob sob sob*
Went down to HSS to catch the match after finishing part of my revision as a treat. haha! I guess they played pretty fast as it's only 2+pm and the reper charge (sp?) was already half-way through. I tried to find the BPS and AES judokas then... tada! I saw Melvina and beside her was Gary! But to my disappointment he was in his half school uniform. In another words he lost already... =( Didn't even get to see him play.
Hang around the BPS judokas as some of them played then saw Yanyan. Chat with her to only find out that Hamster lost at her FIRST match! Oh gosh! Hamster was no where in sight at that moment. Watched 2 of the BPS girls played. One of them was Vanessa, that ang moh girl. She got 3rd in the end. Not bad =) By the way, Aloysius (that Chanbara guy from AES) and Joshua got Champion for their category. That younger malay girl (forget her name already) got 2nd.
Hamster appeared later. Chat with her a bit. Could sense the disappointment in her. She herself also couldn't believe what happen. Haix! Cheer up girl! Then I saw this girl who's darn farmiliar. She was at HSS yesterday too. haha! It was Karen, my primary school school-mate who's also my volleyball Captain then. She slimmed down quite a lot too but erm.. I guess she didn't grow after her primary school days =S Anyway, she's in NYP Judo. Could see that she's quite pro too. haha! Didn't stay on the watch the rest though..
Okay for now. There's still EXCO meeting tomorrow. Haix! Must find a way to shut that idiotic fbb mouth. Sickening asshole. Can't stand the sight of him! By the way Ms Emily Lim is real nice! haha! She actually call up my house last night to ask about the tournament and stuff ^^ I just Sul is right about her afterall...
*sigh*
Okay let me start from the begining. I woke up pretty late as I intended to go for a morning jog but I've to admit I'm pretty tired after the late Video Screening Session (VSS) I had last night. I was watching or the classic Ippons and stuff. haha. Got to get motivated you see. So just slack and laze around in my bed till 9+ as Jeslin & Jasmine wanted to come over my plalce to get their hair tied.
Before the showdown with our nicely tied hair =)
We were late in meeting the rest at HSS as our dear Jeslin came late. Anyway, I was really super duper nervous. My stomache was aching like shit and it sucks totally. Zzzz. We rushed to the hall but no NYJCians -_-" So there they were in the canteen still waiting for us =S Felt pretty bad in making them to wait for us for 20 mintues. Sorry people. Hanjie commented that our hair look like those people in Da Chang Jin where they tied plates around their heads. -_-" Saw the AES people down there too. And yupyup! Gary was there ^^ It made me excited for a while before I got myself back to face reality >.< 
1st match: Samantha (CHIJ TP)
Where the hell again? when I first saw the bout list. CHIJ TP? This is so freaking weird. I thought CHIJ no longer has Judo since ages ago? Where the heck does that Samantha pop out from then? So I was thinking maybe they re-open Judo in recent years already so I went to check their website and stuff but there's no Judo in their CCA list! This is full of crap. Zzzz...
Okay, let's say I successfully got through the 1st match guess who's next? My dear dear Vikie Lai (RJC). She's my opponent for last year when I was in Heavy-weight Category so here she is now in Middle with me and fighting with me once again. *woot* Seriously I'm pretty thrilled if I can fight against her again. Really want to spar again with her since last year when I lost to her. Pherhaps today is the day. haha. Somemore we are both back in HSS... =)
What's bloody more exciting is Nicola is in my weight category too! But she's in the other grouping so most probably if she wins then I can only meet her at the final match. This is getting me real exciting and nervous about it. That's like my ultimate goal for tomorrow man. Last through and fight with Nicola...
Please please please I need all the luck on my side tomorrow...
Wish me good luck! =)
Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:
You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. Your life is always full of changes. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be. You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.
Saw that on wee keat's so decided to try it too. This is the last day of the so-called 'hols'. Haix. I just can't wait for the Blocks to end. It's really sucking the soul out of me. And is only the Blocks! Haix! I guess Mr. Quek's 'staying in school for the ENTIRE of the June Hols if you don't perform well' do kind of make me want to mug even more >.<
Competition is just like 4 days away. Sucks. I don't know if it's possible to do anything on Tuesday to get myself prepare... haix! I would like those videos that Sul was mentioning about since Kyu. Hmmm... got to see about it I guess
I actually dreamt that I was on the dojo fighting with Vicki! It happened pretty real but I didn't 'stay on' to see who win eventually. haha! I was pretty disturbed by it and woke up soon after only to find out that the sky was still dark. Kind of persuaded myself to sleep in the end as I just couldn't stop thinking of how real that scenario was. >.<
I guess it just tells me how important I viewed this competition. And yes, it is important to me. The one and only competition I had been looking forward to since last year. Actually I really wanted to meet Vickie again and it did come true though...
Nothing much happen these days. Nothing interesting, nothing happening. This is what life is all about when it comes to pure mugging and training. =(
The bout list of the National School (Individual) Championship is out! But I don't have it with me now though I'm supposed to. Thanks to FBB. Sucks. Whata reason. Idiotic. I really wonder who would I be facing and everything. I need a strategy. haha. Sounds like I'm going to a war or something but looking at the opponents I might be facing it really makes no difference from a war. I yearn to beat my own limits and going all the way out for it.
What makes it more encouraging is we are going to have only ONE more training before the championship. How cool is that? I need like10 times more MST than Kyu Grade man! This sucks.
11 days to Block Test. I really need to study and mug like there's no tomorrow...
Wish me luck k?
I really need Lady Luck!!!
The mugging can't stop. I can't afford to sacrifice my A-levels and my dreams. On the other hand, winning is also part of my dreams. Beating my stronger opponents on the dojo and outstand them brings me satisfation too.
I was roaming through Judo Info http://judoinfo.com/menu.htm the other day and I came across this...
"Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible."
Looking through those videos did make me embrace the feeling of being a champion. Really. Pherhaps it was because the real training for the championship hasn't start yet that's why I've been feeling these way. I seriously hope so. I just can't stop thinking that I haven't done enough to make me get an Ippon and most importatnlt- my medal...
"The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them." Denis Waitley, author of The Psychology of Winning
I guess I need the motivation the get into full gear again and hopefully tomorrow training would do the trick =)
I was really excited as the time drew nearer to the releasing of the results. It's like a year from now it would be my turn! This is making me so stress for God's sake. Anyway, the group of us were like spotting for seniors around. With so many botaks around it is quite hard to distinguish them. hehe! The first one I spotted was Devica and Deddy! haha! Guess she's really nervous that she decided to come all the way back to get her results. I would do that if I were her too. A levels man! It really determines your future. Deddy looks cool especially with his tinted hair. haha! It's like everywhere in school I could hear someone talking about Deddy yesterday! lol!
Anyway, I guess the overall results wasn't as good as expected for last year batch. Heard that someone got FFF! Oh man! I could as well die if I ever get that! Serious. This is really scary. Fortunately some of my seniors did well. Devica and Daryl got AAB! *woot* Both ex-captains did so well! By the way, Daryl got A2 for GP! That's totally mad especially when the AB rate for GP and Biology is damn low (Devica got B for Biology lo!) They really did very goo!
haha! I was somehow a little bit comforted after knowing that Devica got the same Chemistry and Biology tutors as me! haha! So the tutors I have gotten can't be that bad afterall! haha! I'm so damn realistic! lol! Gosh! Both of them are so my role model now! They play Judo so well and the results are good too!
I really got to bucked up right now.
Training was totally slackish today. haha! Merely did revision for the grading we would be having this Saturday. Few more days till I part with my dear yellow belt which had walked me through those memorable competitions... haha! New belt means greater expectations which is equals to more trainings!
19 days to National School (Individual) Championship. Okay. I'm going to proclaim my self training is going to start tomorrow.
Press On! =)
