Confessions of a Undermotivated guy

I DID NOT GO TO SCHOOL TODAY AGAIN!!!

I woke up around 7plus, but i fell asleep again. Arrgghh. The next time i woke up, it's 10 plus which is too late for any lessons, cos my day will end at 12pm today. So i just went back to sleep again, and by doing that i totally forgot i had to go for a survey at School of Computing. That survey pays $15, aarrgghh. There goes my $$. Seriously, i don't feel too bad about missing today's lessons, cos only a few hours. I'll try to go for tml's lesson. Hehee..

HOWEVER,

I did make it to training in Tj, although, i felt i was rather not involved in their training. Only did a few drills which i did not feel was quite achieving the results that we were looking for. Gotta find other ways to train their mobility on the court. To me that's their BIGGEST problem now and PT may not be the best way to do it. PT makes them move around, but that doesnt mean they will transfer that moment into the court. I think training should revolve around the court, make them move towards the ball as an aim to achieve. We shall see.

Sidetrack -

I just finished watching the 1st leg of the Asean Championship Finals and to my surprise. Singapore won by 2 to 1. It's a match with a HUGE controversy. Singapore was level at 1-1 till around the 82nd min, when a penalty was awarded to Singapore. Although it doesnt really look like a penalty, but that's the kind of things that happen in soccer, or rather all sports. Referee's are human, they don't make the best decisions all the time, but we still have to respect their decisions and get on with the game. What's ridiculous here was Thailand's response to the penalty decision, the Thai Captain, simply rallyed his players and immediately walked of the pitch and they refused to carry on with the game! Oh my god, that's the first time i've ever seen something this unsporting at this sort of level. For goodness sake this is an international match that's telecasted across the region. The worst part was that the Thai coaches & managers seemed to condone their players actions. This will be remembered by all who are watching this match as THE most humiliating thing the Thai soccer team ever did. They were always known as the soccer Kings of Southeast Asia, after this episode i really wonder how low their popularity will drop. Sheeesshhh..

It's more than just NUS

Looking at the past few posts, it's seems as if my life has just been taken over by NUS. But that's just not the case, in fact i would be rather please with myself if that were the case. At least i wun have to be worrying about my homework everyday and lagging behind, like i am now. School is supposed to be taking up a huge part of my time at this stage of my life, but i've been wasting a lot of time in front of my TV and my laptop. Sometimes, well most of the time when i'm wanting to do work, i get sick of it even before starting to do it. and so, i switching on my laptop or tv and start wasting my time away. successful people are those are are able to turn away from TV & computers and DO WORK..

if i were to sectionalise the times and activities for the past few weeks it should look something like this:

sleeping - 15%
eating, drinking, traveling + other miscellaneous stuff- 10%
school related - 20%
volleyball - 20%
lazing away + watching TV + laptop - 35%

a little off balance i would say... time for some time and activity restructuring.. first, i've gotta work on my sleep,

more sleep = more work done, less sleep = less work done.

and i really MUST stick to my 2 hr/day entertainment time.. aarrgghhh...

3 weeks of school

This week is filled with ups and downs... missed a few days of lessons cos i was just feeling super low.. but on the days i went to school i felt i've learnt something from the lessons.. however after the lessons i face the cruel reality that i'm still laggin behind and the gap justs seems to get greater & greater..

going back to tj for volleyball has been really enjoyable for me.. winning or losing is never the main point even though no one wants to be on the losing side.. the main thing is to enjoy the game and have people who enjoy the game with me...

it's piling up on my mind, i really want a car.. any car will do... i just want my own transport...

2nd week of school

In a blink of an eye another week has past... i would say i've gain slightly more in this week than the last... however i feel the greatest knowledge i've gained is the alarming fact that my workload is actually quite heavy.. because there's reading to be done very week, there's not just tutorials, but essays & reading summaries... feels as if i'm taking a lot of arts modules.. and there are also quite a few lab projects to be done.. labs are no longer just 3 hrs in the lab.. do some dumb experiment and submit a few pages of writen report at the end of everything.. labs this semester involve planning, data collection and analyses and finall consolidation and report, which could take up to a few weeks.. OMG... and there still volleyball training everyday for me.. now i think not being able to play in the IVP may just be a blessing in disguise.. i just hope to get thru this sem safely with good results..

1 Week of School

After my first week of school nothing much was achieved. I've missed everything since wednesday. stay at home, din go school, din go for volleyball. I ask myself, why am i killing myself? by not going to school, i miss lectures. I get lost with the procedings in my modules. Not wise at all.

By not going for vball, i miss training chances. I will be deem irresponsible by my players. I'm diggin my own grave. It's time to buck up and set my priorities straight. Yes, i need to set my priorities straight.. SCHOOL, VBALL, ENTERTAINMENT. not the other way away...

1st day of School

Just spent my 1st day in school for the new semester. Only 1 lecture today, quite boring, but i have to endure, cos i sense more coming. Arrgghh.. gotta jia you.

This semester, there will be 2 main focus for me. School work and TJ. IVP is now officially out of the picture, cos i'm not in the team. not too big of a surprise though i wanted to be on the team. at my present physical state i dun have much to offer anyway. shall just respect the decision. meanwhile i will stick to my 10 things for 2007 to get into better shape, and i'll fight for a place next year.

haven spent much time with yanli lately, cos her grandfather just past away. yah, i've been to the wake. i've only seen his grandfather once b4, and was not introduced to him. anyway, she's been spending a few nites at the wake already, poor thing.

One Litre of Tears

this is a simple tribute to the very touching and encouraging drama " 1 litre of tears" its a story about a young gal who was diagnosis with a terminal disease which would lead her paralysed and and all other body functions like speach, and finally death. it's about her struggles while having this terminal illness and staying positive and cheerful. although its a very very sad story with an inevitable ending, it's in fact very encouraging and inspiring.

below are just some links to find out more about the show...

HAPPY 2007

HAPPY NEW YEAR.. HAPPY 2007..

it's a new year and i've started it by watching DEATH NOTE Marathon... i think it's quite good show. it's quite thrilling, watching the ruthlessness of Light just sends the chills down my spine. In order to achieve and maintain his twisted form of justice, he is willing to sacrifice everyone. The main characters for this movies are very well created, every role intrigued. Well, Light is ruthlessly interesting, "L" is a JOKE, Misa's real adorable(her total obedience and infatuation of Light is just so perfect!! :P) so is Light's sister & gf(whom was killed by Light), but most of all the biggist star of the movie is RYUK, the Shinigami(God of Death). RYUK is totally computer animated, but he is the character with filled the corniest and lamest expressions anyone could have, he single handedly convert this suspense thriller into a comedy.

In a nutshell, this is a good show to watch for many reasons. There must be at least one reason which makes the show entertaining for u.

So now we, step into 2007, and the 10 habits for myself will kickstart very very soon... :)
