Btw, I sprained my ankle. Whee. Should be back in action on the 9th. Quite funny also cos' when I fell and clutched my ankle, there was a collective "shit!". Lolz. Oh well, not to worry, my team-mates are more than enough to handle JJC. Actually I think they would play better without me so I won't be sorely missed. Will be cheering them on with you guys if you people come down. Cya!

We playing JJC first on 4th May, SRJC 9th May, NYJC 11th May.

And Mr Tan went to ring up the HC HOD of PE to make sure that HCI won't purposely lose to RJ and the HOD created such a big hoo-ha by going down personally to supervise the HCI vs RJ match. Guess what, the HCI coach almost got sacked cos' she wasn't happy about the supervision. Think something happened. So the thing is she was saying the next time they meet us they will not just thrash us but kill us. Whoopeedoo. So we must win every game to avoid meeting the bloodthirsty HCI.

Hello hello!

Excellent draw, now must make the most of it. I think you all have an opportunity coming in first in the group, so give all out and go get that top spot k? Anyway given the groupings, it would be good to come in first in the group. If you come in second, you're likely to meet HCI again, and it might make things tougher. Offense is terrific, but for defence, try to get your act together soon k? You guys have an awesome team, I've got faith that you all will make it.

Get the schedules up asap, Mic, I want to know how many matches I can go for. In particular, I want to watch the one against JJC.

Gambate! You guys can do it!

Love,
Xiang

(ps. Ally, putting "I'M NOT MAD I'M NOT MAD" followed by a "WHEE!!" and many smilies pretty much confirms the fact that you ARE MAD.)
(pps. My head hasn't stopped spinning since I woke up this morning. It's like everytime I try to stand with my feet together I start swaying. Gah. V. bad.)

JJC on 4th May (weds) SRJC 9th May and NYJC 11th May. Time not sure.

Anyway, Mr Tan rang up the HOD of PE of HCI to "make sure" that HC won't purposely lose to RJ. So the HOD went down personally supervise the whole match and the coach was almost sacked. So HC now hates us, esp the coach, and we must win everything to avoid those bloodthirsty people!

Quote from the Coach: "I don't just want to thrash vj I will kill them!"

Sheesh. We are getting ever-so-popular haiz.

Unpopular Mic

COOL SHIT

COOL SHIT, DUDE!

haha for once we are not cursed. sian ku hou tian!!!!

Alright, alright!! So when's the next match? Coach Carter rocks yo. Got ask Coach Tattoo to go watch with u all also? Anyways that day i was planning to run from my house to vj which is from vj to SBC like that. How many K is that? I calculated using www.streetdirectory.com.sg and its only about 4k or something? That is if u run by the high way la... but cannot ma... Then i dont know the route.

BTW girls, i have a long term goal. And i shall announce here because if i announce here then i cannot escape from it/change my plans cos you girls shall validate my goal. But then again, i think i might wanna reconsider, so yeah i guess i shan't announce anyways.

haha!

Okay. Must work now. Train your asses off!!! See you girls at the FINALS!

Oh ya..forgot to add that please take care of yourselves. Don't get injured!!!

Yayee!! The draw is super duper extremely excellent! =D

Yup..continue to fight on with confidence and unity. Play hard and enjoy the game!

Wah..I also wanna pon my lessons. My voice is dying..cracked halfway while teaching halfway -_-

From vj to sbc??!!!! Issn't that like 123456 km????

ally

Praise the Lord

We got a super good draw. Girls - SRJC JJC NYJC and Guys- HCI MJC SRJC. We hoping to top the table to avoid meeting HCI again. The next group for girls is AJC SAJC HCI and NJC? I dunno which is the runner-up for group D. But coach thinks sajc is gonna be out cos ajc quite strong this year. Watching coach carter as a team tml at 350 which means that some of us get to pon lessons. How cool is that!? Heh. Anyway, jo and ally, continue to pray for us ya that we will get into the finals smoothly. Hope the move will inspire us to kick all their butts + slam dunk heh.

Fixtures will be up as soon as I know them which is prolly tml.

Anyway, we ( me, vanessa, melissa, kai xin, trina and trisha- a badminton girl) ran from vj to sbc for our "6km" jog heh. Milestone for me sia wahahaha.

To Throw Like A Boy

Despite appropriate estrogen levels,
I learned at an early age
to throw like a boy.

When Billy Lester cried
for being chosen last
the other boys called him a girl.

As we grew olderour language grew richer.
"You woman," hissed Brad Seeley
when David Matsumura walked away from a fight.
I was better versed in cussing
than body parts by the time I was
singing the neighbourhood slang.

"You pussy," I screamed at my brother
when he refused to play me one-on-one.
Although he had 6 inches and 40 pounds one me,
he cringed at the insult, accepted my challenge,
and i stood my ground when he drove to the hoop.
I dont remember slamming asphalt,
but i came to hearing the compliment
"Man, your sister sure has balls."

Such flattery ran dry
when i hit the age of Kotex.
Without words for rhythms
my body understood
I had to choose
between exile into womanhood
or their loudest praise of me,
inclusion as one of the guys.

Unsexing myself was easy at fourteen,
but fourteen lasts only one year
and the swelling of breasts
tingling between thighs
put me at war with my body.
Too much ambition, too little food--
going to every extreme to avoid being
without balls, a pussy, a woman.

Oops the last post was mine.

Anyway guys won RJC 54-53. And apparently coach told us that guang yi had been spreading around that coach is a lousy coach and if he was coaching vj he would have done better. BOO. Crap person. So coach went over and shook his hand and said 赢你一分就够了 谢谢。So yeah. Guys only need to beat CJC on weds and they are in the 2nd round and top of their group. We are runners-up in our group so the best draw for us is NYJC JJC and NJC. Really weird. Top 8 this year- HCI, VJC, JJC, SAJC, AJC, NYJC, NJC, SRJC. 2nd round starts on 4th 6th 8th May. Fixtures available at AJC website but of course being so helpful, I will still post it here. =)

Helpful Mic

Haha the juniors aren't that bad off. Think me and dawn are really getting 90% of it. Anyway we won tjc 56-25 yep. The best thing was that all of us went down and all of us (except for poor amelia) scored at least 2 points against them wahahaha. =D But dawn was quite upset cos tjc apparently said our defence sucks and that we are not good yet very cocky. Ahh sore losers. 1 point to note also that the tjc bball guys super noisy and irritating and was counting down to 24 secs and vanessa shut them up by chopping a 3-pointer at the last 3 seconds. Their faces were classic!!

Basically that was it lah. Guys won YJC about 10 points too. Thinkg they got a really good chance to get into top 4 and they deserve it lah. Whereas for us, I think we really very cham sigh. People who watch us play say that we are very individualistic players. Time to ask coach how. Btw, JJC with cheryl poon beat SAJC about 10 points too. This year A div really weird haha.

how to take scolding from coach tattoo?!!!

Hey juniors..wat's e result for yesterday's match? keep me inform k? & ur upcoming matches too..but think i'll only see ya at finals..took too many "off" from work le..haha...anyway main point of this post..

to my dear juniors..especially e year1s..no one took more scoldings from coach tattoo than me..dun believe jus ask any seniors..my advice to u: just listen..dun argue back..duno wat's he's scolding & correcting u..still dun argue..wait till he finish & cool down a bit..then ask him to explain again...spoken from experience..& yes..i did cry after he scold me..but i wont cry in front of him..maybe cos i'm a "act-strong" person who won't cry easily in front of others..so i'll jus cry by myself..but listen carefully..it helps...though i'm still not good..but he made me a better player than before...any complains can tell me...think i've experienced every temper & scolding he has for us...

on a lighter note..come to think of it..it's amazing that i know quite a few yr 1s..trina..cos she's my best junior from Cedar..(if u're reading this..be happy..haha..) amelia..(is that how it's spelled?)..she's my primary sch fren,Kevin's sister..so qiao rite? melissa..(the AHS one) cos i saw her when she came for open house & when mic was in hospital..haha...the other melissa..(the dunman one) cos she's in one of e classes i look after when i was a prefect in primary sch..(if u're reading this..how's ur sister, edwina? tell me ya? jus get my number from trina or e yr 2s..)

well that's all..hv to get back to work..cya!!!

Why did Jia Ling post twice? Lol~

Anyway this is just to say I can't come down tmr, mainly cause I'm seriously running low on cab fair. I've taken cab...eh...6 times this week? Each time at an average of 10 bucks. Gah.

I've got confidence that you all will do damn well, and please don't be nervous. Go on, have fun, smile and annoy your opponents, have the knowledge that you're good and use it.

All the best.

Love, Xiang.
(PS. Serene isn't that bad lookin', Mic.)

who's alvin...what?

Who's the alvin guy whom the guys train under? 5 days a week? SERIOUS?!

Gee they really are working hard eh... All the best to the boys too!

Can't turn up for friday's match but i have enough faith i you girls.

So, like what Mayling said, im just waiting to turn up for the finals.

Victory!!

So we won RJC 59-50 and it could have been more sigh. But Serene is really good though I don't really think she is as pretty as people described. (er-hemm xiang) Guys won TJC 64-57 and they totally deserve it, seeing they train 5 days a week under manical Alvin lol.

Hope HC don't purposely go lose to RJC to kick us out.

Mic

FIGHT ON!!!

hey..no doubt hc is better..but you were good too..it's jus your 1st match..dun put too much pressure on yourselves k? there's one thing that no one can take away & that's the determination to win..After watch Coach Carter..i got that meaning even more..nothing can stop you if you work together & grow as a team..you're CHAMPIONS..& champions dun give up easily..

ok..maybe cos it's me..but it's wat you all told me when i played..i can firmly say that i'm a lousier point guard than mic & the new J1s..i dun hv your good dribbling or better "view" on court..trina is better in that than me..but you all told me that i had a very "strong" point as a point guard--determination..that's why i'm telling the new point guard..& the whole team..FIGHT ON!!! it's something that will make you turn your about-to-be defeat into a victory....

i can't wait to celebrate when you all beat other teams.. JIA YOU!!!

-jo-

Sorry

Sorry peeps... ask you guys take leave, take cab, take everything to come and watch us play in the end we played so badly. Only like 3rd quarter we recovered cos van finally got in her shots yeah.

Super sad that we lost but have to admit, hc is stronger than us so okay we will deal. Gonna kick rj's butts this weds. So yeah.

Yeah I told them about the site

`VJC BaSkEtBaLL`

`VJC BaSkEtBaLL`
The lama song is great if you are really bored. Emphasis really. Lol.

A few tips for the interviews though I think its a little too late.

- Read up on the scholarship/award/uni
- Read the newspapers!! At least know some recent earth-shaking news and have some personal views eg. casino (talking about the casino makes my blood boil!)
- Know who you are and what you want (This is the hard part cos even after meeting two psychologists, I'm still not sure. Btw, I din go looking for psychologists. It was part of the selection process which was certainly uncalled for. )
- And most importantly of all, SMILE when you are stuck/ blanked out which jialing did especially well =D Of course don't keep smiling and smiling or they'll think you are a real nut case. Those few seconds are meant for you to think of something to crap out. Anything. Just say something. Haha!

Thats all. But don't be disappointed if these fail you. Cos I have been rejected dunno-how-many times le. Haha! So well, just to decorate the blog and leave my mark. Haha!

Last but not least, all the best juniors for tmr's match and the subsequent subsequent subsequent matches all the way to the finals! Oops are we stressing them too much? Wuahaha!

Oh and I wanna watch Coach Carter!!!!

- ally

Hello!

Yeah, I know Serene. Considered jio-ing her before. *sniggers* Okay okay. I know all your mouths are gaping. *ducks to avoid rotten vegetables thrown* NB: Didn't though. Lol~ Anyway, Mic, you should be friends with her, cause the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Can ask me about it if you see this before tmr. Lol~ She's quite accurate, but then she's quite short, and not like super fast. You all shouldn't have much of a problem.

Anywho, just whoop everyone's ass you meet. =)

To Jia Ling: USP interviewers RAWK! They are so, bloody, IDIOTIC. But no one wins MINDEF. Those were just...just...iwannastranglethem. Plbft.

Everyone please go see The Llama Song?

Gambate!

Xiang

RJC sounds unstrong. Only got pretty girl aka sharp shooter serene. Probably only Hui Xiang will know.

A few more hours...

=(

Mic

I just watched Coach Carter. Was so inspired! Juniors you should go watch too. Darn inspiring. Damn it man, actually made me want to train.

Anyways, yeah i'll be going on Monday. Whoopeee!!! I think its gonna be darn exciting. Shall i bring balloons and posters and stuffs? Hahaha

But darn it man, SBC's like 7.234 minutes away from my door step, and that means 7.268 minutes away from my BED itself! And i have to take one bloody hour of leave and pia cab down to watch.

I wish i was rich and didnt have to work (times one thousand).

JIAYOU YOU GIRLS! I know you wont let me down!

BTW, interview for USP was just....how do i put it? Fucked up yeah. Yeah like whateverrrrrrr. I almost burst out laughing in front of the interviewers though, was too amused by my own loserliness.

Is RJC qiang this year? Nevertheless, please trash their snobby asses.

--Jialing

The stressed-up captain of vjcbball'04-05

Hello people!

Anyway just wanted to say that I'm confirm staying in Singapore. I got an offer by PSC to study econs and law at NUS with a Local-Overseas Scholarship, so you all won't be missing me too much. =)

To Jialing:
Oei. Say what got no talent? How about writing? And prac crit skills? I'm sure that counts for something. The only thing I had to show for external ability was writing, and it still went okay for me. Key thing is to get the interview, then when you are in the interview, go whack them and you'll get what you want!

Okay. Need to go mark essays now. Last note, anyone going for the juniors' match against HCJC next monday? ie, the eighteenth. Ally and I should be going, and Michelle should be putting up their match schedules here soon. Hope to see ya'll there.

Love,
Xiang

From the NUS USP website:

STUDENT ENROLMENT:
-Accepted on basis of academic and co-currcular activities, an essay and an interview.
-250 students every year, about 5% of NUS intake.

AHHHHHHH!!!!ONE INTERVIEW.So if i screw it up then im out!Damn shit.And i have no CCA achievements,wont even cut an average academic record.Bah.

Girls,advise me on what to do for interviews?I ticked for Category B which states something like 'special interest AND TALENT, wonder-fucking-ful background and achievements'.I know i dont belong to this category but Category A was 'Outstanding academic records'.

Only Ally the Genius and various others of you out there can qualify for that!

Now i have to think up a 'special talent' that i have.What,always slacking and then manage to pull through at the last crucial part?

Darn.BTW,USP is not a scholarship.

Oh,i posted this thing without signing.
THIS IS JIALING THE GODDESS.PLEASE WORSHIP ME.HAHAHAHA.

The First Post!

Missing ya'll.
