Competitive Ultimate
Keeks did say that the only way to improve fast is to play competitive ultimate with a club... but I just can't swallow the fact that I get screamed at by a guy that makes mistakes themselves.
The other topic will be on psyching yourself up when you suck. 95% of time, I'll be mentally cracked already. I wonder how does Weiliang and Derek manage to keep their spirits up in such adversity.
Oh wait... they are damn good at the game already...
Work
Wah piang, I had a dream last night that I was called back to the same workplace on a non-payment basis for a day. I know my dreams are often forecomings, but I hope this really DOESN"T come true.
Relationships
Not my day. I applaud the courage of people who ask the question, and getting rejected. If they think it's no big deal, I'll surely love to know why it is.
Being an emo Cancerian ain't fun. Being an inexperienced Cancerian ain't fun either.
......
Bah, whatever. I think I'll be better off being a hikkomori.

Alienation
One club seems to alienate me.
Can't believe they sent such a good team to the 2nd tier, aka less competitive pool.
It may look like you want to win everything, but get a grip; we'll be more likely to cheer for the second/third team, rather than yours.
Boo.

one down, two to go.
one misunderstanding down,
two more to go.
and it got me seriously thinking about the previous post. AGAIN.
I guess playing pickup and hat tournaments are the only ways to go for me...

Moving On
Looks like there are no more barriers after tonight's conversation.
I might be forming a team.
Life has to go on; I don't think rewinding to 2003/04 will work out that well, considering it's a series of superficial agreements and all. Mainly, that old feeling is no longer there.
In other news, I really suck at giving hugs. Which person gets himself hugged, but doesn't dare to do so in return?
I'll love to talk about Bangkok, so much fun and all... but I'm just too lazy to type it out. Want it? Get it out of my mouth!

4 pillions
4 pillions and counting.
and I finally tried out riding between the vehicles.... along the dotted line. It's really dangerous especially when you need to brake fast, and effectively have a fast reflex.

Woohoo!

So many things happened.
I finally got a real taste of the parking fees in Holland V.
$1.30!
And I finally went to 2am bar for desserts after seeing Veggie and Friends! Simply Awesome! I ordered Twix, and it's really nice!
And I nearly poured diesel into my fuel tank. luckily, the petrol uncle stopped me.
And I finally booked a season parking lot at the carpark opposite my house! :D

Treating dinner on the wrong date.
Feeling bad about not picking up a friend, and suggested that I treat her to dinner over the weekend.
It was a series of vague SMSes and miscommunications that caused this incident, but still feeling pretty guilty because no one has pillioned on my motorbike yet.
Anyways, not a good move.
It's valentine's day this saturday.
Oh yeah. did I mention it's friday the 13th too?

Hard to Take
Looks like this isn't going too well.
I vaguely remember the last time i had a 1-1 talk with regards to the first incident. It left me feeling like a loser, like I'm really at fault, and it got me frustrated. It also gave me an important lesson on drawing lines between trying to help someone and committing to help someone.
This time round... not so sure. Gives me the vibe that you have to pay a lot with regards to learning mahjong, and playing the game isn't what is enjoyable, and winning it does.
Sorry. This isn't working out for me for now. I'll be looking some other alternative entertainments then until further notice.
Only less one player, right?

Deja Vu
I'm trying to wonder what made me burst a vein in my temple this morning.
Because this has happened to me before.
Talked with Andre and Anand about the first incident at the benches at Farrer Park in 2007, and managed to chill and relax, and shrug it off my shoulders and move on.
But it happened again, and I'm really, really turned off by this incident.
I seriously have no idea on how to describe the cause of this happiness and get the idea across.

Dream on
Dreams... never had one that is still so clear in my mind.
dreamed that daniel chong got a Dahon Foldable Bicycle, and announced on facebook that he got one, via the status update. Heck, he even changed the profile picture as well.
followed by 100++ comments on it.

Moving on
Another two of my friends bit the dust... and it looks like one more is going to go too.
Other than Ultimate at SIM, i do not know what best to get together with them.
I weep inside, in sorrow. Maybe I really didn't get to know them enough.

Why quit Ultimate?
It breaks my heart, and this is something I will never understand.
Why quit Ultimate?
This is the third girl friend who I know, that has personally declared hands off her disc.
You can play Ultimate. It does not need to be very competitive, where you have to get fit to play ultimate, not playing ultimate to get fit. If league and varsity training is not your thing, there are always pickup games!
Unless the main motivation is not disc, then I cannot see why you would quit it altogether. It can be a very fun sport even if you cannot run that fast, or catch that well.
This is very discouraging, especially for me as a non-club ultimate player in singapore.
You don't have to be a in club/varsity/team to play ultimate.
You don't have to keep fit just to play ultimate.
You are in control of your life. I can't force these stuff down your throat, but please, take my advice if you see this.

Touching words from an ex-teammate
Last Saturday, Ben Ho met up with the guys for beach pickup at Sentosa. On the way back, we decided to take a taxi, because I can make a claim for it, and we live quite near each other.
The talk went quite well, until Ben talked me up about going back to club training.
He was saying that my level of play was quite ok, and my reading of the game situation is quite good during pickup.
Ben has always been giving honest opinions whenever possible. I take it as a compliment.
I know that I've been avoiding this topic for a while now... but I have been staying off clubs whenever I can. I mean, which club would want me? There are better players, and that's what they want.
If I want to run hard, it is because I love to, not because the club wants me to. Sure... this way, the club will improve the players...
Maybe I just don't like to be overly submissive to something I don't like to do. In this case, I'm a really lazy man.
If I were to do such things, I'll rather do it with a group of people who can share their joy/sadness with me. Someone who is willing to go through thick and thin together. Someone who knows to better themselves, rather than have themselves being pushed.
Maybe this is the barrier that Ben has been talking about.
Why did I break my ACL before my first Singapore Open with my poly friends? It is a point in time which I still regret, and as everybody knows, you can't turn back time. D:
