Question: Why do you fall?
Answer: So, you learn to get up.

I remembered spending one hour plus on that during one of our IVP training last year. Traveled all the way down to ITE Macpherson, trained for a short while and the rest of the time was spent on that. I guess it was worth the time. I miss those days. I would want to travel back to time and revisit those times. too bad, we can't. those are the times that will never come back. life has to go on. no point looking back and try to compare it with the present day. they will never ever be the same. It is nice to be part of it and experienced it. Wonderful season. It just didn't end the way we expected. sad. result is just the output. the process is important. I guess that is the part where we remember the most.

For the past few weeks i've been worrying myself saying that i am not prepared for the upcoming IVP. How I am not doing well in friendlies. this and that. After talking to Jill, i felt better. I felt more motivated for this coming IVP. There are just somethings that are beyond our control. What is important is that you give all you have. I have been asking this question, how do you know that the game you played is your best. Somehow I found the answer. First, I have to stop telling myself good game = score or assist. Second, I learnt that today's best is not the same as yesterday's. I have to stop comparing it. Tomorrow's best...you wouldn't know. Thirdly, maybe there are game where it isn't just at your peak. Instead of doing what you usually do, focus on other things. Example. maybe that game you just cannot shoot..so instead of trying to do that all the way, do others things like telling yourself that you will run very hard and defend. The most important is that i have to stop comparing. Every game is a new game. So ya, I feel better now. More motivated. weehooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! somehow, she gave me the assurance that everything will be fine =) i hope.

I will be graduating soon. Up till now, I totally have no idea what I want to do after that. research? I doubt that. Maybe a short while. I want something, something that allows me to touch people lives, allows me to share my knowledge with people, something that will give me a certain kind of satisfaction. I've seen some of my professor who has been working on a molecule for ages, even before I was born and still working on the same thing today. I don't want that. I really wonder...what I will do after I grad. hhhmmm...............

Being humble is the best way if you want to learn something.
