taken from mr tong's email:
Scrumhalves are cocky. They are the undersized streetfighters of the rugby world. They bounce about, india-rubber men, giving lip to everybody, obeyed and protected by their eight-man bodyguard. And many teams will pick their scrumhalf first. They make excellent referees.

stalemate.
its a stalemate. ohwell. thats life.
trg 2dae ended at 9pm! we had a video session followed by circuits and finishing off with a mental conditioning. during mental conditioning, we had this carwash session which is extremely useful. further more, i think its about time we had one of this sessions. during carwash, everyone had to pass thier HONEST opinion bout the person infront of them and vice versa. we had to be very frank and accept watever critics your team mate has to say with a pinch of salt. well. thats the only way for a team to get better and players understanding each other more.
while arthur, khai nam and i were gg home. we walked past a rally by SDA's Chiam See Tong. i find the ending part of the rally rather interesting and funny. haha. everyone was like cheering n screaming for him. haha. better not blog too much about elections if not later get into trouble. ha.
tomorrow will be my free saturday where i got nothing to do. finally after 2.5 months. (:

facts about me
here are some facts about myself. was doing quite a few tests. so here are the results. i randomly jus cut n paste.
- Personality tpye: the perfectionist
- Ones need to be right, beyond reproach. An inner critic continually checks for possible faults. They continually try to do what is right, and likewise expect others to do the same. They become cranky when either they or others fail to measure up.
- One's greatest fear is that they might be condemned for failure to adhere to their principles or ideals, whether lofty or trivial. Along with this urge comes a vigilance and an attention to detail.

- They are perfectionists and expect others to live up to their exacting standards. (flaw)
- . As managers they are prone to over-controlling subordinates out of an attempt to "get it right" on their terms. (flaw)
- have learned to be tolerant of themselves, and, consequently, tolerant of others. They have transcended petty fault-finding in themselves and others.
- Personality Profile type: Self-Sacrificing
- To live is to serve, to live is to give, their needs wait until others' needs are met.
- Self-Sacrificing people are always considerate in their dealings with others. They are ethical, hones, and trustworthy.
- They are long-suffering. They prefer to shoulder their own burdens in life. They have much patience and a high tolerance for discomfort.
- Self-Sacrificing individuals are rather naive and innocent. They are unaware of the often deep impact they make on other people's lives, and theytend never to suspect deviousness or underhanded motive in the people whom the give so much of themselves.
true or not. i dont know.

i love my parents.
i LOVE my parents! they are super supportive. for the situtation im in, i believe every parent would say a NO immediately and wont even listen to what you go to say. but my parents are different! they sat down n listen to what i got to say. they understand the importance and the need for me to play. they know the consequences and complications that might happen. n yet they give the green light to play and will support whatever decision i make. its really gives u a very peaceful mind wen ur in the field playing with ur parents' blessings. they have given me the extra strength i needed.
alot of pple believe im mad n stupid. making a rash decision. but wait till u hav been training for something since last june playing for combined schools and club so that u can play well for this last national schools season. quickly recovering from an op so that u wont be missing this season. n sacrificing alot of impt things since last june. it has been integrated in ur life.
todays game against jjc was an okay performance. nothing impressive or bad. need to work on the finishings. jjc played very tight today. running off the base of the rucks. n yeah. first team that can actually counter and drive back our mauls. sa had good phase plays. communication still have alot to work on and miss tackles. one major mistake sajc team made was tackling too high. can be worked on. one thing sajc team shd learn frm jjc is the fighting spirit they had. even though they may be down they still kept fighting till the final whistle. take my cap off to them.
its a time for reflection.

worrying
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

season
rugby season has started. didnt kicked off the season on a high. theres much more work to be done. passes, moves, kicks and attitude. pjc was nothing but one of the worst game i ever played in my rugby career. never have i played before such mess and lousy decision-making. poor lines of run. n lousy attitude. but whats done is done and things will only get better.
lost to rjc yesterday. a game which i truly believe saints could have won. couldnt really settle down in the first half which allowed rjc to take the lead. fought back well in the second half. the fighting spirit of the team esp in the last few minutes of the game was awsome. that hunger to win. the drive to keep gg. the motivation from one another and the crowd. the aggression. the tenacity. the focus. the love. although we lost, i know that we have really done a good job. keep up this good work boys and i promise you, we will go a long way. also, the atmosphere was great. couldnt feel my knees after the game.
just for the record, sajc rugby team had never scored a try against rjc or acjc in 15-a-side rugby since 2001. (: something to be proud off.
remember the 3 fundamental things to win a game (to team sajc):
1. Discipline
2. Communication
3. Focus
if you have these, your team will go far.
havent really been catching up with school work. tmr i plan to do some catching up. i hope.
since the intensity of trg has increased and house comm elections gg on (plus studies i try to catch up), i had almost no time for myself and my frens. things have only been revolving around these 3 (if not 2) things. need to go find time to spend with my frens. sometimes, i think im lucky to have understanding frens. but how understanding can one be if they always make sacrifices for you but u do nothing in return. lousy friend rite?
we finally talked to each other. (:

waste of time
Everything to me seems to be a waste of time nowdays. Somethings which I used to enjoy now jus add on to the stress and pressure. sucks. People who I used to be close with are drifting further and further apart. i guess EVERYTHING is my fault. used already to be the one taking all the blames.
i cant do much if i cant even get my own life proper.
me, myself n I.

what is right?
i've made a decision. some pple think im stupid and immature. some pple think otherwise. whatever it is i will stick by it and no one else is gg to stop me. im prepared to take all the riska there are eventhough i know it can/will affect my future all for my team, my school and my passion. its not that im a true blue saint or anything. but one thing for sure i will not let the pple arnd me down. i will not sit by the sidelines to watch my team battle but to fight together with team. isnt that wat team spirit is all about? we being there for each other through thick and thin?
life is all about taking risks. if one never tries, he will never know what the results will... be it in his favour or not. when things get tough n hard, i need to be strong n keep fighting for what i believe in.
if anything is gg to happen to me so be it. at least i knew i have tried my best. deep in my heart im happy eventhough the needle piercing pain is on me. im ready. im prepared. n i will live life with no regrets cos i know that this is something that i've wanted to do.
all i need is the support from God, family, friends and most importantly sajc rugby team.

rugby camp
rugby camp was both physically n mentally challenging. it had really test our mind n body beyond its limit. but now i feel accompolished that i have survived this camp.
the camp started off with field trg. we had a friendly game with the B division boys who are preparing for their semis this coming monday against SJI. had a good run. after that, was the start of the torture time. the ruggers had to go to the gallery. there, we did like 300 plus kind of different exercises. for me, since i couldnt do excercises involving the wrist, i had a total abs workout with the help of gym master, suhaimi. haha. he made me do all kinds of abs exercises la. goodness. after tat worked on the hammies n knees. everywhere single body parts started hurting. it hurt soo much that after 3/4 through the torture time, my whole legs (both sides) were numb n at one time i really cant even support myself. i totally went beyond my limits. but i strongly believe tats is the main reason why we are doing all these in the first place- to test our mind n body. glory is nothing without pain.
after taking ages to shower, we had our dinner followed by a video session in the ava. watched the cjc game which was rather pathetic. but we have surely learnt alot from it. its time to put all this into action. theres no use watching n practising a move or game plan, but not being able to excute it in the game or wen the pressure sets in. then watched a small part of the all blacks game against british lions before ending off the night with a movie. very inspiring. we checked in into saint andrew's hotel n were given 3 rooms. next block neighbour was the sports club also having their camp.. at 3am while everyone was like asleep or still trying to sleep, our neighbours conducted a some drill session which woke me up n gave me problems trying to sleep for the rest of the night. argh.
by 7am, we were at the tracks doing moring pt. we did 4 sets of 800m. where everyone has to come in before 4 min. i managed to meet the timings. but those who didnt had to come forward to do another extra 3 sets of 400m. decided to run with them again. cos after all, a team is only as strong as its weakest link. further more, i already like couldnt feel my legs wen i started running. haha. after that, had breakfast n trg. after lunch we had physio talk before breaking off from the camp- something which i looked forward to.
Good Luck Team Sajc!
