A true display of grit
An indomitable spirit

Yesterday, I watched one of the most exciting matches the girls have ever played. It was a match against Chung Cheng and we were the underdogs. What really struck me was not the fact that our girls were very talented or skilful (no doubt some of them are), but the fact that they gave their best, fought their best and tried their best.

We were losing all the way till the last quarter when we caught up. I really almost fainted, because it seemed like mission impossible. By half-time, we were already down by 12 points. I had seen this team since its beginning and watched it grow, through the good times n the bad times. The beginning of the year, the team faced their biggest challenge. When things did not work out, many of them persevered and encouraged each other. This kind of spirit is valuable. I remember their toughness through their struggles.

Actually I really have so much I want to share about this group of special girls. I will leave it to another blog specially dedicated to them.

We won in the end.

Champions are not those who never lose, but those who never quit.

REVEALED

Friends forever!

THE BASKETBALL CHALLENGE

One sunny and lovely Saturday evening,

A group of sporty and fun-loving people gathered.

These were our challengers, the young and mighty ones.

They tried their best for a rebound,

Guess who managed to get it? The reigning rebounder then was MS.

One would think that he would get all the rebounds.

Look at how he jumped!

Little did he expect that there was another one. Someone just as fantastic! Therefore, he looked on in awe.

MS n PR couldn't believe their eyes. They looked at the hoop in wide-open wonder. How could one jump at that height, they wondered.

LH decided upon revenge. He tried to get the ball. But our flying fish BUBU was faster!

After a really difficult game

There reigns only one champ.

WE ARE THE CHAMPS!

Blading Craze

Today, after service, we went to buy our blades. Kel saw a good lobang.. buy 1 get 1 free and we decided to go and take a look. Of course, we bought it.. at a good price for a great pair!

Ha ha. So excited now. A family that blades together stays together. :)

Anyway, here is a pict of my new blades. My goal is to be able to blade to school by the end of June. Ganbatte to myself, and of cos to Ah ne.. n Kel, n Cal, n Don, n Steve, n .... too many to count.

I believe we will have lots of fun! YAY!!

Angel n Mortal Episode 2

Dear E151

Today is cell group day again
The holy mess will begin again
Who's your angel, who's your mortal
Confusion, amazement, they are here again.

Haha, but Xiaowei is right. It's a whole lot of fun! I can already see that later someone will get a big big blessing, and another a small blessing, and some others, weird blessings. hahahahha.

Anyway, I am so glad to have all of you in my life. You are my biggest blessings!

I better do my work now!

Musings on a Saturday morning

Here at the workplace marking scripts. Need to take a break. The basketball girls are training hard. They are playing Anglican High on Tuesday. Difficult match. Anyway, I do think that it is nice to be back in school on a Saturday morn. It is so quiet here. Not many people are around and I feel a certain sense of peace, unlike the rush and the hustle n bustle of a usual weekday.

It is already the 7th week of the first term. Time really flies! It was difficult to bring myself back to work after the good December hols, but now, I am approaching the March hols. Really fast. Time waits for no man. I learnt that we have been made to be productive and creative, and we have indeed been given the ability to do that. :) I want to see more of this creative power in my own life!

Anyway, last night I told Steve a really silly and lame joke. Here is how it goes. Actually I told him and many other people this joke before. But this is my latest version. After tennis last night, as I told him this latest version, I really cranked out and laughed and laughed.

There were 3 friends who met up for a reunion. One is an Australian, the other an American and the last one, a Singaporean. They were amazed at the number of electrical appliances they found at Mustaffa Shopping Centre during a midnight shopping spree and so the Australian asked, "Hey friends, name me an electrical appliance that starts with the letter 'L'."

The American said "lamp", the Australian said "lawn mower" and the Singaporean thought for a long time. Finally, she said, "Lalio".....

Next, they decided to talk about fruits that begin with 'L' again. The American said "Longan", the Australian said "Lychee" and the Singaporean said... "Lulian". Both the Australian and American were amazed at the answer. The Singaporean then went on to say, "I know of one more fruit that starts with the letter 'L'! It is called ... Ling Mong!"

Astonished, they asked her what it meant. She said, "Haven't you heard of Ma Ma Ling Mong? " (That's the dishwishing liquid.)

Finally, they were going home after the shopping spree. In a cab, they decided to talk about brands of cars beginning with the letter 'L' again. Unanimously, both the American and Australian said "Lexus". The Singaporean smiled smugly and asked them if they could think of another one. Both shook their heads. The Singaporean then said "Lolls Loyce".


I was already laughing non-stop as I told Steve this episode. Anyway, he is a really great genius. We discussed animals beginning with the letter 'L' and wondered what the Singaporean will say. I thought of "Labbit" straightaway. You know what Steve said? hahahahaha. He said "Laohu". I laughed till my sides cracked. hahahahhaha.

Anyway, blame it on my profession as an English teacher. I somehow find jokes like these very very very amusing and funny. There was this other time I told a Maggi Mee joke. That one was also a classic.

Anyway, I hope you do have fun reading the above.

Well, I think I better get back to work...

:)

Have a lovely lovely weekend!
