I don’t know what to say, really. 4 more matches till the biggest battle of our professional lives. Now either we heal as a team or we’re gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, 'til we’re finished.
We’re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. &, we can stay here - get the shit kicked out of us - or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time.
Now, I can’t do it for you. I’m just one man. I look around. I see these young & aspiring faces, & I think -- I mean – I’m really proud to have been part of this team, are you?
You know, when you get old in life things get taken from you. I mean that's...part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches. So is volleyball. Because in either game, life or volleyball, the margin for error is so small - I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, & you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves & everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the fuckin' difference between winning & losing! Between livin' & dyin'!
I’ll tell you this: In any fight, it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. & I know if I’m gonna have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willin' to fight & die for that inch. Because that’s what livin' is!
Now I can’t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him!
That’s a team, gentleman!
&, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
That’s HCVB guys.
That's all it is.
Now, what are you gonna do?

I’m terribly sorry for posting so irregularly. But time is really not on my side. I always used to say “Time can be created.” However, it seems like it does not apply to me. What a joke. I’m practically busy, EVERYDAY.
Monday: School. Homework. Plyometrics. MMA. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Tuesday: School. Lunch. Training. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Wednesday: School. Lunch. Homework. MMA. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Thursday: School. Training. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Friday: School. Training. Home. Bath. Dinner. SLACK. SLEEP.
Saturday. MMA. Lunch. Home. Slack. Study. Slack. Study. Slack. Sleep.
Sunday: Slack. Study. Slack. Study. Training. Studying. Sleep.
I NEED MORE THAN 24 HOURS A DAY REALLY!! Or, could I be granted the skill Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!
Luckily it’s the holidays now yay!
I don’t even dare to list out my holiday homework. Maybe I’ll reserve it for my next post :)
I’m going to use this holiday to train hard, & catch up + work ahead of school. Hopefully I’m really able to complete the latter.
Anyway, Congrats to Athena for winning & making history!
Best Performance, War Games, POP, Dramafeste & definitely the FOS to come. The juniors have a lot to live up to. HAHAHA.
School’s pretty hectic. 4 subjects, but so MUCH more homework!
Anyway, have you heard about the Pacific Earthquake?
I feel SO sad about it damn. I wanna go Japan to help, ocip or whatever shit. I’ll do anything to help them man. ARGH. The 2 earthquakes happened in Japan, one around 1.45pm yesterday, when I was having my damn math lecture test. The other was at 2 plus, when I was cursing how I would fail math test. In comparison, I feel so small, so insignificant to what happened to the natives there. They lost their family, I merely lost a stupid 7% of my math overall. People are crying over the lost of their loved ones, i crying over my insignificant split milk.
So guys, before you ever lament about ANYTHING, please remember that there’s always someone out there who’s worse off than you. Please be considerate. Keep your thoughts to yourself & tell yourself that you’ll do better, & work hard. Don’t be an ass like me.
Pray for Japan, & many of the other countries currently facing adversities.
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair. ~ Winston Churchill

The Paradox of Our Time
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men and small character; steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce; fancier houses but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete."
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember to say "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
& ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Totemic
For once, I don’t really give a damn for everything else that has happened for the past few days since the last time I updated. What only matters now is the Team.
To everyone in the team,
“I don’t know what to say really. Three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives. It all comes down to today. Now either we heal as a team, or we’re gonna crumble.
Inch by inch, play by play, till we’re finished. We’re in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch at a time.
Now I can’t do it for you. I’m too old. I look around, I see these young faces, and I think… I mean I’ve made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me, and lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.
You know when you get old in life, things get taken from you. That’s part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches. And so is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean… one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow too fast, you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I’ll tell you this – in any fight, its the guy whose willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. And I know if I’m going to have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that’s what living is! The 6 inches in front of your face
Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You’re gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him.
That’s a team, gentlemen. And either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die, as individuals. That’s football, guys. That’s all it is. Now, what are you going to do?”
Come on team. We can do this together, as a team. Lets build this team together, as a team. Lets fight & stay together, as a team. Lets love each other, as a team.
TEAMbonding. As-a-team.

Tomorrow is gonna be the start of school.
I don’t know why I am so afraid of going back to school now. Many of you may say school’s gonna be fun due to the girls, the orientation, the events and what not. For your information, these don’t matter to me, at all.
So WHAT exactly do I fear?
After much consideration, I guess it all boils down to
1. Academics
The thought of not doing well for most of my test is, horrible. I daresay I’ve doing average in High School, with some failures notwithstanding. However, I fear that once I get into Junior College, I won’t be able to catch up, do well or whatever. Not getting OSA in High School was already heartbreak to me. I really wanna do well in JC & get 4As for A levels. The school isn’t making things better for me by setting up a test on the first day of school. WTH?
2. Volleyball
There is too much of byzantine dynamics in this cca. Everything is erratic. No more Jiao Lian, no proper Team, no proper positions. With an outstanding membership of at least 18, as of now, the team is too FREAKING BIG - too big to bond, too big to be close, too big to cultivate teamwork. Players aside, the trainings are too…frequent (?). 2, 4, 5, (6?), 4pm to 9/10pm. Before I even reach home I’m already dead & exhausted. So how do I salvage the previous worry?! Also, with an ankle & wrist injury, how do I train?! Not going to training, people blacklist me. Going to training, I aggravate my injury, I don’t play well, I get blacklisted as well. WHAT’S LIFE?! Whatever the case, this is the first time I really dread volleyball, SO MUCH. Sigh.
3. MMA
Signing up in December at Evolve, is one of my biggest regrets, that I didn’t sign up earlier. Training sessions there are damn fun & engaging, providing me with a great workout coupled with the opportunity to expand my social network. I’ve been going there almost daily, whenever I’m free to go. However, with the much dreaded reopening of school, chances to go there for training is less & minimal. I want to perfect my techniques, learn more tricks, level up. DAMN.
HATE SCHOOL, nuff said.
Now let all the anguish & grief be gone. Let us talk about happy things! :)
