o lvl results out today. got an a1 for cl2, but that's nth to be happy about, cos i won't be using this as my l1b5 for nxt yr anyway. so this a1 basically juz for backup use.

heard that tml no sec4 going down. feels sad. g2g.byebyez.

new discovery: teo junhao lives in the same block as me. haha. btw, teo junhao is my sec1 junior, the best player in sec1, the captain...currently. so xia dao when i asked him where he lived. he told me toa payoh kim keat link. then i was lyk, "arh!". hahaha. so lame. then realised he lives in same block. too bad not on the same storey. but he's mad one... 6am leave house go sch. i call him crazy, go sch so early for wad...open sch gate arh. hahaz. but sec1s are juz so cute. BUT only in sec1. as they grow, they get more and more dao. oh well. nvm...

this yr looks promising for vball, but wad a pity i'm in sec4 now. sigh. first comes a very good coach, then a very promising batch of sec 1s. too bad i can't be part of this, but to see it is nt bad liao. kkz.

g2g.byebyez.

yeah, we lost. nth to say. guess that's the end. over for me alr. sigh. it's been great these 4 years in vball. so i'm gonna write a tribute to these 4 wonderful years. it's long... but here goes:

2001: my first year in chs vball. was realli grateful to get a place in the team for the west zones, even though it's only my first yr. thanks to tickwoon for that. though i didn't play at all, it was an eye-opener. N yeah, got 1 more jersey than the rest of em. haha. then it was the youth cup. we din do well, but it was encouragable. thought there's hope for the nxt yr.

2002: 2nd yr. my first west zonal games in the first team, on our own. it was realli a pity. first match beat jurong west, and we tot the nationals were for granted. little did we expect, 2nd match lost to zhenghua. guessed we underestimated them. BUT, we beat shuqun 2-1 in the 3rd match. that was a highlight i guess. fantastic result eh. it's lyk bao leng men. sadly, we bowed out of the competition due to sets difference. wad a pity. sigh. the rest of the year was spent training with the snrs again. that was fun.

2003: 3rd yr, starting of the year got a change of coach. in comes weisheng a.k.a girly coach. we did nice in west zones, getting into the nationals, but unfortunately got drawn into a tough grp and got eliminated. then the snrs left. and the disaster began. weisheng left in May, due to the stupid 'poor' sch. whatever lah. training became stagnant. ly took over, rather unsuccessfully. training attitude was poor, morale was low. it seems that vball will crumble and close down anytime.

2004: my 4th yr. this yr. good news is that owyong came in Jan. he's a good coach. really nice, really patient. too bad he came too late, or else i'm sure we could have gone on further. just 1 month to prepare properly for the competition was definitely not enough. then the comp came. as mentioned before, lost 2, won 1, OUT. which is today. yah. feeling down now. cos it's my last year, i wanted to play out something worthy of remembrance, sadly things turned out all wrong. well... leaving vball soon. to the rest: work hard. don disappoint the ppl anymore.

ok.. now for the individuals. if u are tired, go take a rest and come back tml.

Lim Young: hey captain. u took over the reins when there's no coach, and tho sometimes we opposed u and made u unhappy, u were great. without u i donno wad would have happened to us in the tormenting 7 months. i appreciate ur enthusiasm for the team, and ur commitment. thanks a million!

P.S. juz wondering, it's a bit of deja vu. whenever ly takes charge of a team, that team cannot go far. he captained us in 2002 n now in 2004, and it is these 2 years that we din get to the nationals. one interesting point, this yr, when we beat clementi town, it was changboon who captained the team... funny eh?

Ming Seng: friends for 10 years now, setter. u were juz a fringe player ard the team in sec1, but look how u've grown. first team setter alr. a pity u always got too nervous during matches tt u could not perform to ur best. but hey buddy, u've gotta change that pessimistic view of urs, and that superstitious belief. tho u always claimed u were the best in this and tt, and everytime i juz pour cold water over u, u can sometimes realli be the best. sometimes i was amazed by wad u could do. u nv fail to spring up surprises. thanks so much for all these yrs. time to pia for O's. i wanna see u on stage nxt yr. =)

Shaun: hey funny guy. haha. always boasting and cracking jokes during trgs. a fantastic liar also. lol. sometimes i really feel sad for you. u were always so pia during trainings, but u juz can't seem to get that break huh. i think u could have been a better player if u shed those pounds off u. haha. but anyhow, u are a great pal to be with, and i'll always rmb u as a team-mate, and a wonderful friend.

Jingren: pooh bear. PJR. those 3 letters on one of our volleyballs... haha. u always kena niaoed but u nv flare up. this yr's surprise libero. wonderful performance during these 3 matches. tho u at times became santa claus, but at other times, u were brilliant. i can see u piaing in this tournament, n i felt sad that ur efforts din pay off. maybe if u had trained consistently for these yrs and nt leave halfway in 2002-03, perhaps u could have become a better player. but wad's done been done. too bad u din get a feel of the nationals. better chance some other time in some other sports or area. keep up in watever u are doing and all the best.

Xiuming: lamer gay! haha. funny, lame, funny, lame. can't find other words to describe u leh. u so tall, yet cannot unleash ur potential. so SAD. haiz. but nvm lah, u did well in helping the coach and training the sec1s and 2s. hahaz. u remind of kee hui. ;) u din get chosen for the main 12 dis yr, but u are great in other aspects. pia for ur O's, but don pia too hard ok. i need ur jokes to perk me up. =)

ChangBoon: hey jia boo, captain frm now on, work hard ok? i have faith in u, and i think u can lead the team to greater heights. improve on ur spiking, and i'm sure u will turn into a better player. the team needs u to continue on in the nxt few yrs. first captain of the IP vball team, so nxt yr when u lead ur team out for matches, i wanna see a far much better squad that's playing. keep up ur good work, n enjoy the post of captain and chairman. =p

JunYu: vice-capt, help changboon in leading the team alright? u needa curb that extreme nervousness in u during matches, or u'll nv play well. this yr is the perfect example. the junyu at cck compared to the junyu at chs, totally 2 different junyu-s. it's a pity. so don't let ur team down in future, and i wanna see u and changboon spiking thunders when 2005 comes. gd luck.

Winston: monkey arh monkey. why u always despise and look down on urself? have more confidence! ur spiking is very good... and tho ur height is ur disadvantage, u have other qualities, so don waste them! u were captain once rmb? this means u have the ability to do well, and i believe u can. when u see other ppl spiking monster ball, tell urself u can receive them and get them up. then they won't seem to be monsters, cos u are the monster slayer. go monkey!

QiKai: qikai... don kick so much soccer and conc. on vball can? haha. in this comp, when u played one match against clementi, u were realli very very very nervous. cope that nervousness ok? i think u have a chance of making it into the first team nxt yr. 2 zhugongs places up for grabs, so go grab one of them. and rmb, don qiao qiu! looking forward to seeing a more skilful qikai in the coming months.

WengWoh: wengwoh, don always think of urself as useless... i noe u din get to play a single part in this comp, but there's always nxt year. u are always so chatty in training, and u strive to improve on ur skills, which is good. but some things cannot be quickened, so take things as they come, step by step. ur spiking is pretty good, juz time ur zhu pao properly and u can be as good as...ly? yeah, so don give up on urself. n don threaten suicide as and when u lyk. =X

ChengLiang: got nth much to say to you, cos i've nv said much to u these few years. but i can see that u have the passion in vball, and u are actively wanting to be part of the first team, tho unfortunately there came winston. wish u the best in wadeva things u're gonna do in future. ciao.

YingQun: oi stupid pepsi can jumper. can u lyk, jump higher? or how abt run faster? or how abt using ur thumb to set? u are lyk, almoz there in every aspect, so why can u BE there? now that coach has lost faith in u being setter, do ur best in exploiting the fun of being a zhugong. u are training for that rite? u are tall, so don waste it! look at some of ur team mates and count ur blessings. and pls don have that bochump attitude during training k? if u juz pia that little bit, i'm sure chs vball can be a better team. oh yah, how abt being consistent in ur killer serves?

rest of the team: this goes out to mostly the sec3s who din get chosen in the main 12 this yr. ppl lyk edwin, zhiming, zhenwei, weechern, xingzhou etc. tho this yr u guys were not chosen, strive hard for nxt yr. that's all i've to say. be more enthu during trg, cos this current coach is hard to come by. cherish ur chance. don waste it.

the jnrs: ppl lyk joshua, apple, yonglin, yingzhi, zhongying, benjamin, hongchao, maoyang, xianchun(is this rite?), tho u guys might nt be reading this, but i juz wanna say dis yr for u guys, has been disastrous. don u think so? got thrased 25-4 by bpgh...can't believe it. well.. i don blame u. it could be becos last yr we don have a proper coach to guide u all, but now that there is one, don let this chance slip by. nxt yr's choosing of team will be tough, cos it's lyk so many of u vying for juz that 12 precious seats, but there's the possibility. don give up on urself, and gd luck.

the snrs: louis, weikiat, kianyong, kenny, alvin, yihchyn, siongkiat, david... u guys were great seniors. playing with u guys were very fun and fulfilling, and i juz hope that if louis makes it to hcjc, and if i also make it to hcjc, i would love to join vball and be playing side by side with u guys again. seriously, with the talents there now, i don mind even being a libero if i could juz play. haha. gd luck to your O's results, and now that u guys are all in JCs, i guess gfs are bound to come by, esp. weikiat and kianyong. hehe. cya guys soon.

the snrs' snrs: basically it's to ppl lyk jason, winston, koonyin, kenneth, wanyang, tianhan, yeetat and many more. sorry if i forgot ur names. it's always a pleasure to watch u guys play. and i realli admire the sense of unity in u ppl. ur cheerings brings back great memories, and it's realli sad that the cheering has sort of gone down these few years. u guys will be going to NS soon, so all the bez.

the grand snrs: haha. grand seniors. keehui, longjing, and many more. when i was in sec1, u guys always came down to train us. training was tough but it was fun. esp. keehui. too bad we lost today's match infront of u. sorry abt tt. hmmm... still got who...eh, tickwoon..haha. my first coach. ur trg was tough, esp ur PTs. but u are a gd coach. haven't seen u for a long time... weisheng... quite alot of ppl were anti u in ur era, but i think u are also a good coach. erm...nth else. haha.tata. ow yong: wad can i say... u only came for 1 month, and it's realli regrettable that u came so late. how i wished i were a sec3 now, so that i can train under u for a few more years. ur skills are still great despite so many years alr... haha. sigh. gd luck in ur guidance of the rest of the vballers. maybe they can improve even better under u.

alright... guess the tribute is until here. actualli, i write to so many ppl, i doubt these ppl will get to read this. but i'll juz blog it. dun worry, i'm not committing suicide or anything. haha. juz wanna blog down wad i'm feeling at this point. 4yrs have been so quick. and my vball 'career' has come to a (temporary?) end. So... kudos to all that have been working hard and gd luck to all that i hope will continue to work hard. as i quote frm william hung:

"I already gave my best. and i have no regrets at all"

today's match nt that smooth tough. we scraped thru this win. some ppl might even say we don deserve to win. me, i think we did ok. for myself, i think my receiving is quite alright, but my spiking sux big time. all spike out. omg. i almoz in tears as i see my spikes heading out of court...one by one. felt so guilty. esp when clementi town was actualli leading during the 2nd set. we played till lyk... 26-24. omg. those last few pts realli were tense. very tense. those with heart problem could haf juz fainted on the spot. haha...no kidding. but we pulled thru... sigh. oh ya. i also landed on jingren's arm while saving a drop ball. ^_^ sorrie bro. u hit my throat during warm up. juz payback! chill. haha.
