Ping Pong Competition!

输赢也许重要, 但更重要的是我是否克服了心中的恐惧, 战略了自己。 我今天做到了。:) Today was a special day, my first table tennis competition ever since one that I couldn't remember back in primary school. The atmosphere has brought back those past competitions feelings back to me be it squash and table tennis. Unfortunately I only made it to the Final 8, quarter finals where I lost to fear and composure. I was indecisive, wrong way of playing and didn't adhere to my coach's advice. Until the last set where I was forced to think deep on what my coach told me and taught me. It worked for me but it was all little too late. I wouldn't call this a setback. As I haven't receive professional training for really long, and making to final 8 is a good head start. I will slowly improve from there :) failure makes me hungry for more. At least I have improved, I can think logically while playing now, and its something important. Thats what my coach once said :)

Sweet Schedule.

I have never love a sport so much, Searching for that lost sense of touch. Hectic Schedule but I love it. Monday - Korean Lesson 7 to 9.30pm Tuesday - Tuition 7 to 9.30pm Wednesday - Table Tennis Training 7 to 8.30pm Thursday - Tuition 7 to 9.30pm Friday - OFF Saturday - Driving Lesson 10.30 to 12 noon Sunday - Driving Lesson + 7.15am to 5.30pm ARMY Service. I am having this feeling back once again where I am packed and full. I seem to be hitting home at 10pm except on Wednesday and Friday. It gives me at least an objective everyday when I open my eyes and something that I am tasked to do each day. Some may be stressful, but I believe its a positive one. Thank you for support from Love. I only get to see her on Friday, Sat and Sun every week. Thanks for your understanding and letting me pursue what I like. Because of this I cherish you more. I may even add somemore on Sunday for another Tuition session which means I am really fully packed. Recently consulted a table tennis coach to b

That kind of feeling and affection is what humans crave and seek for in their life. I am really happy I have found it. I hate having dates not being myself, where you are very careful with your actions and words, and behave in an etiquette way. I am glad I am not in this category. With you, I can be myself. I love you for letting me be me when I am with you. Happy 8th month :)

Bintan Outskirt!

Sunglasses = Beach time! 05-06 May 2012 was a holiday to Bintan with love and her friends. The main objective was to do nothing at all if we can. Teleporting ourselves to Bintan and lazing around in the sun and frolicking on the wide sandy beaches. And true enough, the friends around you build the experience. Be it Maldives or Bintan, as long there are great mates around that creates the fun matters most :D . A little review here:  The sky is uniquely beautiful which reflects perfectly on the imperfect sea. Honestly, the sea wasn't the best I have seen, nowhere close to clean and clear. If there is an example I must illustrate, then East Coast Park would be the best in line that resembles. However on the surface, the seamlessly blue sky gave the poor conditioned sea a nicer picture. Would I return again? The sky is beautiful, the staffs are friendly, the rooms are nicely furnished and maintained. However the objective of going to a beach has not been fulfilled as the wat

Mindset adjustment, Utilize time fully.

Paddler inspired, its time to sweep off these dead leaves away. Many think NS is a waste of time. Yes I admitted I was one of these haters on this unfair system. However, from now I choose to differ and think on a positive note. What is it? For a more fortunate me, stationed at a "8 to 5" camp. It is a time where I can explore my interests and ambition. A poly graduate who is yet to decide a life path ahead. Rather making rush decisions, this 2 good years enables me to calm down and reconcile. By exploring, I am able to learn new languages, take up self development courses, driving lessons, teaching and obtain some sports certificates that may expand my options more. Would I still be able to achieve all of these regularly if I am an undergrad in local uni now? While doing some research on table tennis today, I collected 3 good information which one of them is a competition that I am keen to see where I actually stand. Thankful to my soulmate who is always sup
