What I still need to learn when hitting the fuzzy yellow ball over the net…

You can win. But, sometimes you might also lose. It’s a bitter feeling, but sometimes you’ve got to accept it.

Sometimes, decisions need to be made quickly. Hitting the ball down the line (to the opponent’s backhand) or across the court (to the opponent’s forehand) can change everything.

Always be yourself! Play your own game during the match. Why follow your opponent and play his game? Bring your own style into the court. Who cares what others think if you really like to go all pink on court.

Never underestimate the person on the other side of the court. She can be small but boy can she whack the ball!!

Take advantage of every opportunity you’ve got to make that shot a winner. If you miss it, it might never happen again.

Every point counts. A point may change the outcome of a game, which changes the outcome of the set, which in turn changes the outcome of the match.

Run for every ball. Make your opponent play that extra shot. Why let her win so easily? Even if you lose, heck at least you made her work for her win.

If the fuzzy ball comes back at you really fast and hard, be calm and block the ball back. No point giving it a powerful swing as it’ll probably end up flying out of the court.

If you’ve made a mistake, there’s always another chance to redeem yourself. Don’t freak out yet, but give it another try. That’s what the 2nd serve is for.


Never give up half way. The game is never over until the final handshake!!

Much to do about Nothing

I usually only blog when I have something in mind. But as I was out with Khee Lung today, he told me that I should blog even though I've got nothing watsoever in my head. Hmm.. something new..

So since he's leaving, Okay la dude here's to your Farewell. I have N-O-T-H-I-N-G to write about. (I was literally told to spell it out)
N-O-T-H-I-N-G.... (Farewell gift 4 u) Haha... Cheers..

Oh... actually I do have something to add, Next time if you have something you wanna BUY or wanna DO... DO IT... or BUY IT... straight away. Do not wait. Do not think so much. Why wait like me??

I had to endure agony when I realised that my beloved trench coat was no longer on sale at Zara. I think my face showed how dissapointed I was. Khee Lung told me to listen to Jason Mraz- I'm Your's that was playing in the shop to lighten my mood... But it just made me realise that it was like the trench coat singing to me "I could have been bloody yours"... Aaaaarrrrghhh...

BYeBye 2009

Hmm.. lets see I've not been updating my blog for quite sometime now. Everyone's saying Hi to 2010. But I'd wanna say Bye to 2009 first. I don't do well with farewells so that's why this post took me so long- lolz... Lame Excuse.

Actually nothing much has been happening. I'm still stuck in home sweet home but enjoying every part of life without the studying part. Muaxxx...

So what is new??

I've stopped working for the whole of December so am currently jobless. Have recently joined the unemployed...

My Birthday cake. I had to put it here as it is my favouritest nikko hotel Strawberry cake was... It was just heavenly. What more could I ask for?!?


December had also been the time where I had recently developed a liking for anything Korean. Well since after I've been to Korea and back. Seriously anything korean... Samsung, Boys Over Flowers, Rain, the Korean language, Full House, Sorry Sorry etc.... well maybe all things except kimchi...lolz... yucks.. i cant stand kimchi.

Korea Sparkling- There's a first for everything.


When we landed, sis and I got so excited that it was so cold until even as we were talking to each other, white smoke were coming out of our mouths. (according to a friend, there should be a term for the smoke- too bad, I dunno the term.. white smoke it is)

First time experiencing weather soooooo cold that we ran indoors where ever and whenever we could!! Taking shelter at the ATM place. Temp for the day.. negative something.

At the beautiful Jeju Island which was extremely windy. The wind made the whether even colder.... Hands were freezing due to the cold... And I started to have a runny nose..


However, I still managed to eat the very yummy raw abalone by the sea although it was freezing cold. Yes, I do admit I'm a food addict. Hands actually frozen also can makan!!


And the lake was all frozen in the ancient castle!!!! Yes, the jakun has never seen a frozen lake!! Hehe...


The Best Korean chocolate I've had there... Cant find it back here =(


I didn't realise that I get happy just by looking at colourful trees... Hope that there better be more of these in Aberdeen. And please dun be so cold there!! I'll love you even more if you promise not to be so cold in the winter ;P

Ok,... enough bout Korea...

Seremban
Then afta Korea, I took a slow tortoise drive with khee lung down to Seremban to hand in my attachment letter and to visit my buddies and to celebrate Qian Hui's birthday. To which I just realised that I should be calling the hospital lady to ask her if I had gotten a place or not. Damn.. so forgetful.
Note the things I would never do again in Seremban:
  1. Think that I know the way when I actually dont. One small wrong turn and I gotta go one whole big round again
  2. Think that the weather would be cooling there. Its always bloody hot.
  3. Visit Seremban Parade. Quote from a friend, KL- "Any mall in Cheras would be better than this place". At least, I think that is what he said.
New Years Eve
Marks the day in which I realised how scarily indecisive I can be. Not good. So not good. Must learn how to decide fast.

And finally ByeBye 2009. Haloo 2010!!!! >.<
