END OF SEASONS
The match vs SJC ended today. We won. We didn't play perfectly well but we played above average. I think I didn't play my usual because of my throat. STUPID VIRUSES. I hate them for making me fall sick. Not like I didn't try to maintain my health. I admit I don't eat vitamins (because my parents don't believe in those) but I tried to sleep early but there's too much work you know? The seniors were real nice. They gave us something in return too.
CSM is coming. NAPFA is coming. SIA deadlines are coming. I am so dead. I want to sleep. I'm going to collapse from the stupid virus soon. Please please don't let me get a fever. I just want to heal from the sore throat; I don't want it to deteoriate. But I need to go for meeting so I must hang on.

A BUSY LIFE
Block tests are finally over and I haven't done very well. I keep thinking I did alright and kind of tried my best but then I end up finding myself making careless mistakes. I don't know what's wrong with me. This is like the latest problem with me; I've never had this kind of problem before. I need to work harder than ever.
Ironically, my life has become more hectic. I know seasons are coming to an end which is sad but trainings with next year's b div is going to start and sac is becoming busier and csm is coming up and for the other council project I haven't done a thing! I have to catch up on physics and malay which I missed so much because of competition, work hard for maths and chinese and biology and chemistry and language arts. I think I really fared far too badly in this term's block tests. Also, the SIAs are starting to overwhelm me. I shall try to battle each one down one by one. I need to revise my stuff! And I haven't gone for literature tuition in ages.
Life can seem so unfair sometimes but I believe with hard work, I can beat that down. I must try somehow and do it right. Must not slack too much:D

STAMINA
We lost today. 37-17. It is kind of disappointing but I got over it (as usual due to my numbness). I don't think I played fantastically well. I probably played better in the previous match. I think I'm just too slow and far away. My stamina really really sucks. I need to work on it big time after the block tests. I really want to go back to doing medicine ball suicides and running 2.4km for warm ups. I know I will just die from exhaustion and complain during the process but I have this tendency of doing things that I know will be good for me although they aren't nice to do.
Let the last match be memorable. GO NANYANG NETBALL:D

NYNB ALL THE WAY 2
Jiayou Nanyang Netball! We have to strive hard tomorrow for just ONE HOUR! And then we can go into next round! We must not give up then our hard work will not go too waste! And I will try to curb that tired-want-to-stop-running thinking then we will have more interceptions on the defence side. Defenders can do it! We will intercept tomorrow! Shooters you can do it! You practise shooting to hard everyday I know you can do it! Midcourt just work hard to bring down the ball so we can overcome our opponents tomorrow!
I shall go swimming later so I will not become so off tomorrow. Haish, my stomach is still aching. Not as badly as yesterday though.
WE CAN DO IT!

TESTS
I know I'm being really not disciplined right now by posting in the middle of tests. But it's just so boring studying every day that I cannot take it any longer (yes yes I know you are shocked to hear it but here goes).
I just felt like posting because life now seems to be sinking back into a routine again. Study, training, competition, go home. Study, training, competition, go home. The cycle just goes on and on. I know I am going to be sick of it soon but the crucial game is coming and I need to just WAKE UP!
UGH. I don't think I'm trying hard enough. I'm not mentally weak in the sense that I believe we are doomed to lose before we start playing. But I'm kind of weak in the area whereby I get tired and just want to stop. And I'm supposed to be a DEFENDER! GOSH! This is just so wrong, bad, bad, bad of me.
On Monday, I really need to keep going on. I wished there was some machine or person pulling on my ear or something and say, "YU XUAN MOVE! OR YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY!" I'm getting too numb again. GOGOGOGO! I kind of self-motivate myself sometimes but it's temporary and not long-term. I want to talk aloud to myself but my opponent is just going to think I'm crazy.
Never mind, I MUST NOT GIVE IN ON MONDAY!
GOGOGO! JIAYOU FOR TESTS AND MATCH! NO GIVING UP TODAY, TOMORROW, FOREVER (if I can take it)!

MGS FRIENDLY, CSS MEETING, ZEXIN!
We had mgs friendly yesterday. It wasn't exactly a great day for a friendly because it was all dark and dreary with rain, rain and MORE rain. And I played terribly. I was unable to 'photocopy' the shooter's position properly! ARGH. I have a lot more room for improvement. Then I had this weird sniffy nose all of a sudden and a lot of phlegm. I wasn't even having any flu. It could be a pre-symptom so I'm just going to take precautions. I need to improve in time! I did not realise that U17 trials were coming so soon. It's in 2 days. I think I'm dead.
Then I went for CSS meeting. Basically everyone thought I was crazy because I kept laughing but was that counted as crazy? I mean it was really quite funny and all. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO PATRICIA. There was a cake which was really yummy! And a pizza (a mysterious one bought by Peishan). So we discussed for quite long and then Alicia had to leave for competition. Wished her good luck and she WON! HAHA. Then we changed our location (from school canteen to KAP). I kept eating and then Mr Lim CAME. Haha. Our ideas are basically quite funny but a bit humiliating. SAD though that some of them are really impossible to carry out.
ABOUT ZEXIN:
Zexin you must be really grateful that I dedicated 2 thirds of my post to you. Zexin is going for competition and I shall wish her all the best here! JIAYOU ZEXIN! GOGOGO! GO ALL OUT FOR SINGAPORE!
P.S. sending people of at the airport is a real new experience for me. Terminal 3 is rather similar to the other terminals except for this reflective ceiling. Haha. The architecture does not make sense to me anyhow.

CUBE CRAZE
I have seen many people everywhere fiddling with this brightly coloured cube and I thought it was just a boring game. Then, my brother was sucked in along with the craze because his whole class was playing with it so we decided to go buy the cube. We ended up buying 2 cubes, the 3 by3 one was mine and my brother was feeling a little ambitious so he got the 4 by 4 one.
Apparently it's called the Rubik's cube and it's super hard to solve. I thought it would be just twist twist twist and DONE! But then I still haven't solved mine and I feel so frustrated ugh.
Then my brother just went and copied from his friend and he solved my cube. I bet he is so regretting it that he bought the 4 by 4 one instead of the 3 by 3 because he still can't solve his OWN cube and can only solve MY cube. Ah well, I shall figure out how to solve it from him when I have the time. I can't stand his smug look everytime he comes into the room and looks at my solved cube because he did it. UGH.

WE GOT THIRD!
A bright sunny morning. Well, it's not exactly scorchingly sunny but at least the sun which had been hiding these past few days was visible. A normal day but a heart-stopping; heart-bursting one for me!
3rd-4th placing match against BP. This was one of the first matches that I actually felt I wanted to go ALL OUT. The atmosphere was there and we were all going to give our best.
1ST QUARTER
GD for me. I was just extremely unalert. I let my GA keep running around me and wasn't sticking close enough. There were too many opportunities for the lobs to be given to the GS and Jocelyn had a hard time defending. I was really not trying hard enough. I need to block way more and cut off ALL her paths. We were down by 1.
2ND QUARTER
To make up for my barely passable perfomance earlier, I swapped with Jocelyn. It was rather difficult to keep jumping upwards to intercept the GS' lobs. They were high and I could only tip them off. ARGH. I did not catch a SINGLE one with both hands. I just felt so helpless, trying to jump fervently to at least touch the ball. I could imagine now how Jocelyn must have felt earlier. You could see the ball coming but there was this uncertainty that you would either get a faint whiff of the ball or none at all. We were down by2 because we played worse. There was a drop.
3RD QUARTER
I continued as GK but the GS swapped with the GA. Now there was a further complication- I would have to swap with Claudia opponents in the circle so I could defend the tall GA. Now I felt even more uncertain because the movement of swapping would lessen my chances of reaching the ball. I definitely tipped off less. At that moment, I really yearned to grow extremely tall so I could somehow counter the passes by jumping higher. Nevertheless, the shooters played better and we were leading by THREE!
4TH QUARTER
We threw away quite a few balls at the start and it was back to draw again. My heart was totally in my mouth because it was so uncertain as to who was going to claim the victory. In the end we won. Relief washed over me at the same time that I was bursting with happiness. We hadn't disappointed anyone! WOOOOOOO!
We must train hard for nationals. WE CAN DO IT.

NANYANG NETBALL ALL THE WAY!
I thought I should post before tomorrow. It is TRUE that we haven't been wanting the ball that much the past few matches. Maybe not that we didn't want the ball a lot but we didn't want it as much as our opponents. Let's go all out tomorrow against our opponents. No matter how hungry they are for the ball, we WILL be HUNGRIER. We will fight with our might!
JIAYOU! ALL THE BEST! Let's GO ALLLLLL OUT!
the past is over. the future is later. what matters most is NOW.
WE CAN DO IT!

I'm Yu Xuan and fifteen this year. This means I'm sadly not entitled to many things. My life is under control currently (thanks to my very practical and sensible parents). I may appear sensible to you but you must never judge a book by its cover.
