| I survived 3 nights of minimal/no sleep.
Hallelujah.
Tennis camp was HELL AWESOME MAN.
Though tiring to the max, I would gladly relive the whole experience again. :)
Night cycling was THE BOMB MAN.
Set out at 10pm and cycled all the way til 6am the next morning.
Well, we could have got back earlier but we got lost along the way, so the supposedly 40km route was increased to god-knows-how-long.
Butt was aching real bad!
I think I would be richer than Bill Gates if i were to invent a superduper comfortable bike seat which allows one to cycle for hours on end and have his butt still feel brand new!
I felt like I was in heaven when we finally reached got back to macs.
The feeling of surviving more than 24 hours without sleep is just awesome.
Had a nice breakfast before my head started oscillating up and down almost immediately after I polished off my brekkie.
The macs manager woke us up though. 
Knocked out immediately when I returned home on sat afternoon.
Had planned to sleep in longer, but hunger woke me up.
The KFC breakfast was not enough to last me for a couple more hours.
And just when I was planning to sleep again right after dinner, Bernz che called me out for Ip Man 2.
Down-ed a cup of mocha frappe during the movie to stay awake, but I was still wide awake when we returned to gran's place at 3 am!
Goodness!
Chat-ted with bernz che til 4 plus and I had to be on my feet again at 6am for church.
And by the grace of God, I managed to survive 3 sermons and hours of queueing until 11pm, without sleep.
Ok, this post is getting too long.
Bye. | | |
| 3RD PLACE! for both boys and girls 
Who knew we could have come this far, making it all the way to the end?
Even coach had his doubts, considering we are a weaker team this year. (In terms of skills)
BUT BUT BUT, we overcame the odds and emerged as 2nd runners up!!
We definitely got more than we hoped for man.
This season was the last, but the BEST ever that I could ever ask for!
Of course, all these would not have been possible without God's help.
He helped us brush aside AC and CJ to make history by reaching the semis.
But His blessings and faithfulness did not stop there.
He even helped us triumph over Hwa Chong to claim 3rd place.
GREAT AND MIGHTY IS HE AND HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED! 
Amen and Amen.
Well, it's hard to believe my time in SA Tennis has come to an end.
No more waking up bright and early on saturday mornings to go for training, no more hell physical, no more long rallies, no more....
The list goes on and on.
I will definitely miss trainings, how we encourage each other during physical, how we always pray that there will be no physical, how we bargain with coach to let us play handball, how we always get happy when training is with coach william.
I still remember the day when I had my first physical with coach and thought to myself that that was only the beginning.
There were plenty of regrets though. (I will not state them)
But, I thank God that I am part of this amazing team.  | | |
| Friday was a disaster for me, but it was a happy day for the team.
I really couldn't force myself to smile and celebrate with the team after the deciding match was won.
I just couldn't force that smile on my face.
Upset and disappointed with myself.
I know that performance totally did not justify the player that I am.
I am capable of doing much more, playing way better.
But I buckled under pressure and it killed the game.
I lost to no one but myself.
I thought I could handle it, but now I realise I can't.
Coach had faith and confidence in me, but I let him down.
But anyway, thank God for the 3 singles who saved the team not once, but twice, after the 2 doubles slipped up.
And thank God for seeing us through to the semis since the last time the batch of 2005 did it.
Now, the batch of 2010 have done it again.
Although it would have been better if I contributed more, but I'm still proud of the team. :)
I will not let myself be reminded of Friday's disappointment anymore.
Tomorrow's the start of a new week with new challenges and obstacles to face.
I hope what happened on Friday will make me a mentally tougher and stronger person.
I believe all things happen for a reason, although sometimes things may not go your way despite praying that everything will turn out fine.
God has his plans for all of us and these are plans that will allow us to prosper, so I believe the loss on fri is a blessing in disguise.
Alright, 'nuff said.
One thing's for sure though --- WE'RE IN THE SEMIS!!!

| OUR WIN OVER AC IS REAL.
SA HAVING A SUPERDUPERMEGAHUGE CHANCE OF BREAKING INTO THE SEMIS IS REAL.
GOD'S LOVE IS REAL.
IT.IS.ALL.REAL.
I AM NOT FRIGGIN DREAMING.
Our win over AC is gonna be a historic one.
It's gonna go down as one of the biggest wins in the history of SA girls tennis.
WOOHOOOOO.
We came, we prayed with all our hearts, we believed in the mighty one in Heaven and we conquered.
All the credits definitely belong to God.
He was the one who had been there all along, guiding us thus far into the competition and being there for us and blessing us during all our matches.
Indeed, Your love and faithfulness is never ending.
Well, it is not confirmed on paper YET that we are through to the semis.
But, after we win cj on Thursday, we can truly celebrate, although the celebrations have already somewhat begun on Friday. Hehe.
I believe 2010 will be a great year, not only for SA tennis but also for A levels.
I promise I will bury my head in my notes all day long and keep my racket out of sight (actually not really. hehe) after I'm done with Adivs.

| Had a 2 day break from tennis on wed and thurs due to the rain.
I should be thankful for the rain, because it gave m a much needed break.
Ironically, I found myself wanting so badly for the rain to go away so that I could train.
Body says "break plsss", mind says "more tennis plsss."
Even I don't understand myself sometimes.
So, we hit coach's target by getting into te quarters.
Now, it's time to look forward to the SEMISSSS.
Oh my word, I really really really hope 2010 will be a beakthrough year for the team.
I believe we have the physical and mental abilities to defeat one of the top 4 schools.
Rj hockey boys were denied their 8th consecutive title this year, and I believe one of the top 4 tennis girls teams last year will be denied a semi final berth this year!
And it's up to us to snatch that semi final spot.
Come on! | | |
