10th

30 06 2009

My 10th day on medication. Getting quite sick of it. Physio is good, but I can’t go anymore coz I ain’t an undergrad anymore. =(
I do really wanna stop taking drugs. Its bad for me. Help help help. Muscle strain go away please!

Training was not bad. 1.5 weeks more to go! Go AC Ultimate!





Woohoo!

Excitement excitement.

And I am glad things are going the way they should. =)





The pieces in the puzzle

21 06 2009

Fit together perfectly. But each piece on its one, shows us nothing.

Tomorrow I am going to take out my wisdom tooth. Top right one. I am not scared, after all I have had plenty of dental work done. But thinking of the ‘mandatory rest’ I have to take is just like… BLEHHHH. Restless me is really praying hard for a painless and complication-less extraction, so I would be up and running soon. Having said that, I am glad its just one side and not both. I would really look like a stuffed hamster if I had to take out the one on the left too.

I guess the timing couldn’t be more perfect. I am given time to rest the hamstring strain which, up to now, I haven’t managed to ease, despite the stretching. (Somehow, no matter how much I stretch, it remains tight and crampish) So yeah, dental work now, and I get a couple days more to recover from injuries, and then I can proceed onto Sing Opens preparations without glitches. =)

Revelations

9 06 2009

Today was a strange day. I thought my mood was at one of its foulest ever. And I was seething mad. But I am glad and thankful for today! And I am thankful that despite it all, I have held my anger, my words and my judgement. Because I learnt some very important things today. That there  is a learning opportunity in all things, be it good or bad.

Sometimes, when I get all Ultimate obsessed, I question myself, and ask myself, why am I fretting so much over this game? Why am I spending so much time on it. Am I really supposed to do that? I think I found an answer today! =) Now I know some of the reasons why God made me love playing Ultimate so much! And I bet He has much more planned for me in Ultimate still! God works in mysterious ways and I have only just begun to understand His plans. =)

i <3 AC Ultimate!





Still

8 06 2009

Its been a while since I have been able to look at where I am now, and say that I am content and nothing much is troubling me.

I am glad I can do that now. =)

Find rest my soul

In Christ alone

Know His power

In quietness and trust





A fiercest team He built

31 05 2009

My deareset beloved AC team.

It broke my heart to see how you guys went down 8-3 at half, fought back and still, did not come out to take the game. You guys have IT. Good coach, experience, the throws, a close knit team. AC is THE team to be. I know I said that I will crush you guys come Sunday. But above all things, all I want, is that you guys become a better team, to become better players. If I had a choice I would really turn back time so I could play in AC, but I can’t. All I could do was to make sure you guys get tough worthy opponents that will help you guys play better.

I was hoping that the loss to the Muddies, the so called easier game, would spur you guys on to improve more. That this defeat from the so called ‘weaker’ team would give you guys the mentality to bring up the intensity no matter who you guys are playing. That with every game, you guys play with even more ferocity.

A fiercest team He built. Go AC Ultimate.





KL 2009

28 05 2009

So I finally made it to KL, my 1st overseas tournament in Asia. Some stuff were the same as I have experienced, some were different. Surprisingly, its actually more expensive to play in Asia than in Europe. Hotels eat up a big part of the budget. And my 1st time playing for team which wasn’t a pickup team. Needless to say, the dynamics were a whole lot different.

Overall I thought it was enjoyable. I was disappointed in some ways though, some games were just utter crap.

One thing I learnt. Mental strength. Its one thing to have the skill, and its another thing to believe that you can be better than the other team. And you need to trust your teammates to think the same way, that despite the strength of the other team you can be better, that you can conquer them. Its all in the mind. To know that you are able to deliver at the tournament, your 110% and it would be better than the 110% of your opponent.

One tournament. I think I learnt a lot, not just skills and experience. I am slightly clearer in the direction I want to go, yet, unsure how I want to go towards it. For now, its saving up for the next tourney. =)





Distance

19 05 2009

Most people were overjoyed

They took to their boats

I thought it less like a lake

And more like a moat

The rhythm of my footsteps

Crossing flatlands to your door

Have been silenced forevermore

And the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

It seems farther than ever before

Its probably better this way.
