hehe..nervous sia..1st time blog here.

ok forget bout tt crap. this is the all-time favourite, beloved, lovable and simply irresistable aunty here. who am i...yes it's me..ME..xinxuan(:

pls allow a bit of self-intro here. i joined team jj soccerettes in sept, the last trng b4 the pause of all CCAs for the preparartion of promos. i know it is lyk damn late and i totally regret. how i wish i can rewind time and join during the pae days. sians.
but ya..the 1st trng i went, i was greeted by a fantabulous sharron with the comment F*** on the field, during game.wat an experience?!?! it was the trng coach was back from a ban by lim xiao ***. i rmb the 1st time i saw coach i was like this coach buae pai sia but lyk a bit weirdo ah. ya..so that day marked the 1st day of my life in team jj soccerettes.
after tt is all the trngs, getting to know the girls, bonding, talking crap and life goes on. but ever since tt day, i haf learnt the meaning of a team. this team is bonded by the tears and blood it shed, the moments shared, the laughter, the sorrow, the gossips(my personal fave), the games played, the trngs went thro, the scoldings, the encouragements and many other things tt can go on and on the list. this is where our life starts and it will go on as long as the team spirit goes on.

i'm damn grateful to coach for teaching me to play and love soccer. thanks to my girls for letting me haf a team to share the moments and play soccer with. thanks everyone for bearing w me from the start when i was owaes screaming and shouting my head off more than playing soccer to until now when i can really contact a ball well and play a game well. sorry to those i've injured due to my violent nature (lyk sharron whom i gave a special mark to). i know i'm violent, rough, aggressive (whatever u call it) but it's my nature. and ya..tt was how i kicked tt girl from NJ, flat on, on the tummy, with the soles of my pretty studs and in the end caused my own team to suffer. i'm really sorry for not playing w my brains on tt day, i was too nervous and i just let the players passed me so easily. but whatever it is, tks for all the understanding.

on the ending note...u guys are the best bunch of ppl i've met. i will owaes love, cherish and rmb all of u guys. looking at all the memories tt we've created and shared who cares bout top 4? at the end of the day, it is the ties tt bind and hold us tgt tt matters. we will owaes be the one team tt holds a special meaning and remembrance in each and every one of our hearts.

ok, now for the most impt line in this whole post:
I LOVE TEAM JJ SOCCERETTES!

so long.kudos (:

hey ya'll red undies queen has just arrived at the scene! woohoo!!!

looks like a years gone by in a giffy! like what a good friend told me a couple of days back, "good times pass fast". least, I can definitely conclude all those scandalous, hairpulling moments have truly been a memory of the great past ( though i sincerely think it'll be reanacted CAN'T WAIT!).

last year in march, saw you guys, first thing was *shucks freaking load of ching chong chang*... so i moved on to see how the badminton team was like... and whadayaknow! THEY WERE A HELL LOAD OF CHING CHONG CHANG! so i decided soccer was fated for me.

As you can see, my passion for soccer was not really in built in me. it was merely a molehill... but coach and you guys really made it into the greatest mountain unseen. I may have slacked in a few trainings.. ok.. A LOT. but when i looked to my right, shucks, huishan is doing her utmost best, look to the left.. *dammit, even candice?!? so i reflected upon my attitude towards soccer.. only coming around in january 2009 when i hoped i wasnt too late.

Nationals was not a dispointment to me. i didnt come to soccer to win that shiny badge, polished yellow, plated with a layer of gold. No i surely didnt come for that. I came for the experience in trying out something new--> that is to work in a team once more. you guys made it easy for me to adapt and easily, i managed to.

I had many problems pertaining to bonding with ya'll.. first my mom didnt support my soccer decision, i had curfews, i had my work, i had family, i had my class, and i had ****** (its a him). so i was always the one photoshoped into pictures taken during occasions ( not literally). however, i found it a joy that i was still able to be close to all of you!

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

yes this poem is a heartfelt poem which i want to share with y'all. I believe the path we took was something less desired by females. and like coach said, we are the *top-notch, high standard girls* (of course with a lot of modifications..heh XP)

I love soccer. i can. and we are.
signing off, tanto who just realised she's played back, middle and forward in the field! lol!

These Ties That Bind

These Ties That Bind

Hey ppl, Sharron here. I'm sorry that i seldom post entries on this blog but i do my best read all the entries posted, coz i'm ur typical ah pek who always forget to blog. I wanted to use sze ting's format to blog however, it'll be like i'm copying, so i'm just gonna give a overall post of our past year's experience.

At first when i stepped into soccer and saw you guys. i thought, oh man! would they be slag? Are they joining for real? will i regret soccer? Back then, i was someone who was uber hot-tempered, cynical, skeptical, basically, i don't really know how to open up to people easily.But, I'm not like xing xuan.(who is "very" xenophobic)

Then slowly, through many trainings, many scoldings, many crying, many injuries, i begin to find out how different each and everyone of us are in our team. There are people who can burp like mega loud, do triple jumps before shooting, scream like mother cow, sing with a fake eyebrow, thinks she's the fattest when obviously she's the thinest, eat like mother cow, speak as though the voice and body don't match, take chinese but can't speak it well, skinny and flirty,has "super smelly shoes", looks like garfield(my sis), looks like barney who sings korean, who is super quiet but not to me! ,roll her eyes like no other, who speaks and yells like a baby, who likes rui en like i do!

Slowly , i begin to like the team but i didn't really show it on the field till a senior analysed how i played on field. Only then i realised that even though i like the team, i didn't trust you guys when it comes to match play. So with the help of you guys and my seniors, i slowly change my temper, slowly try to trust you guys on field again. I began to really enjoy football when i did all of that.

We started to work real hard for the nearing season and even though we did not make it to top 4, i know that we all did our best. We started from ground zero, from nothing to something. We fight like hell during match and gave our opponents a good fight. It's always about the process, not the success.

I want to really thank coach for his guidence and patience to coach us from a "zero" in soccer to decent soccer players. I don't think that there's another coach like him who is this great and i'm 100% sure everyone agrees with me.(not fallacy) And without him, we'll really be nothing.

I also want to apologise for my oubursts during trainings and matches, if i have offended you in anyway, it was never intentional.

Lastly, i just want to say that soccer and you all HAVE changed my life and how the way i look at things. You gals are the bomb! This is the team i will always remember, always miss over the years. This is the team where i know that at the end of the day we will always be ONE team and that's something that nobody can take away from us. These are the ties that we've created from day one when we stepped into soccer, these are the ties that bind.

Trainings had ended, and even the last match ends today. But the 18 of us will stay on as a team.
We had been training for the past one year, we sweat, we teared, we bled. The memories tat we spent together as a team will stay on forever, and we gonna have more memories together.
I hope that i did my job as a captain, and i apologize for the times when i scolded you all. I really learn alot from this team, thanks to each and everyone of you.

1. Iezah-TEDDY BEAR, U are the brave soul who step forward to be the goalkeeper, i really salute you. You really improved tremendously, we seen how u dive, slide and block the ball during training and matches. You are the pillar of support of our team, everytime we felt tired and felt like giving up, we will look up to you. You are always full of confidence and u do ur job as a goalkeeper dutifully. You are our NO. 1.

2. Kah Poh- From the slack trng in sec sch to soccer trng in jc, u have really endure. i admire ur determination. i rmb the times when u will ask us to go and kick around during breaks and on sat. You really become stronger, how u used to cry in trng in j1, until now someone who scacrifice her face for the team. Dun worry my ''retard sis'', u are still pretty, if nobody want you, jaystine is around.

3. Yuen Fong- Our only left-legged in the team, and the one who can really kick with both legs. i really like ur cross-in, tat when u became my idol. haha. You always felt tat u din do well in the matches, but in fact, you played well. Your shots are powerful! We will continue to kick around during ur pc lesson on thurs right and continue analysing abt the matches that we played?i will always relate u with garfield and the action tat u do with ur hand up, fingers together.

4. Jaystine- Yo bro, i know u faced problems coming to trng, but you tried your very best to attend all the trng. You have the speed, maybe cause air resistance doesnt affect u much. Being so skinny but yet u are tough. Dun cry okay, i still rmb tat u cry after reading my sms when we went for the 10km run. oh ya, one piece of advice to you, dun be too flirt and dun get stress up easily, take it easy! haha

5. Suh Yee- big eater of the team and scholar. You make mi happy every trng with the smile on ur face. During trng, i can really see your effort. i still rmb the time in j1, when our right leg was injure, we train with our left leg together. haha. i need to apologise tat i din realise u are the vice-president of csl till yesterday, haha. Continue eating but watch ur diet and be HAPPY!

6. Jia En- Barney is a dinosaur!!! Last time i really think u are cool but not now, when i see ur crazy side. Like how u sing loudly on the roads and ur screams. U and ur magnetic leg during the match, everytime u are always somewhere near the ball. AND i know 9 is ur fav no. haha. wear purple hairband and be who you are. GREAT HEADER AR!!!BIG BANG!

7. Xian wen- I know u felt outcasted in the team at times, but all along everyone of us treat u as our team mate, we are a team. we may not be as good as the senior, but we tried our best. We treat u as our team mate but at the same time, we respect u. when we all started as noobies, u helped us alot. Thanks for ur help and advice. YOU ARE PART OF US!

8. Sharron- Vice-captain, thanks for ur help all along.you have changed alot, from the hot-tempered u, to someone who cheered for team mates on the field. And stop showing mi ur magnetic stomach, everytime the ball will jus land on ur stomach and u take control of the ball. i will always rmb how ur corner kick scored. we will continue to play soccer right and i wish u a happy ending with ...

9. Joanne- the baby in the team, and i will continue to piggyback u. haha. i look up to u during matches, u are calm and u dribble past opponents easily. you used to be scare of ball, but not now. OH ya, u are jj first scorer. We used to study together, gossip together, but u like become very busy recently. We will still study together right?

10. Vani- the onli one who keep calling mi coach 's daughter, haha. our team top toe- poker. Stop saying tat u are fat, when u are one of skinnest in the team. during the season, most of the matches u are not in ur top form, but u tried ur best. u really have to take care of your health, and stop dieting. U really need food, have meals with suh yee more, she can make food seems so heavenly.

12. Hui Shan- Ronaldo. so comical when u imitate how ronaldo takes a free kick. i guess the whole team will jus rmb the shot tat u scored against coach and the way u danced. THE SCHOOL BULLY episodes WILL BE CONTINUED... haha. Oh ya, with ur not very big appetite, rmb not to order alot of food when u cant finish it. haha

13. Jam- YO DARLING, u never fail to bring laughter to the team. With ur chinese, neck rotating and rolling eyeballs. AND not forgetting ur r----- jokes. i will rmb how u teach me the angle of the head when kissing, haha. rmb the jamua song dedicated to u, when we struggled in our pt. u will continue to amuse us with ur weird actions right?

14. Tanto- SPAMMER!!! thanks alot for ur help in relating msg to the team, which normally end up spamming them. haha. I still rmb the time, when u told mi u stay in singapore for soccer, so touched sia. Although ur parents did not support u in joining soccer, but ur passion is there. Lastly, dun care me gangleader although i kick ppl in the face. haha. ORANGE!!!

15. Candice- Although you are quiet, but i know you really care alot abt the team. Like how u sit by the side to wait for us after trngs while we drag, and how u jus sat quietly with us when we felt sad. Your little action by jus supporting us, is good enough. All of us are unique, and u are unique in the quiet way and the way u randomly crap. Candice, u will continue to play soccer with us right? cya

16. Sharry- see, i m blogging while chatting to you on msn. haha. How we first started to gossip when u are still very quiet and when u quit soccer and come back to soccer. haha. i simply admire u for the way u analyse how we play during the game, and how we can better improve on the game. I think we have around the same taste, haha and great singing. Continue to support Rui En and u know who. :P

17. Xin Xuan- Auntie, although u join us at the later part of j1, but u never give up. remarkably, u really controlled ur scream. i still rmb the time when we all tried to take penalty kick, when its ur turn all of us covered our ears. haha. u played well for the last match, and u prove tat i m not the only tat will kick ppl. dun change ur auntie character okay mayb he will like ur auntie character someday.

20. Jing wen- i think you are the only one who can play everything, from goalkeeper to striker. Ur stamina is superb, u can jus run and run without panting and u really can head. Dun belittle yourself, u have the ability. Speak up louder and be more mature ar, and dun keep a house full of hamsters. XIAO HAI ZI, JIA YOU!!!

COACH, thanks for being our coach. Without you, this team will not be possible. Although u shout at us during trng, but is all for our own good. Our passion for soccer starts from you. Sorry to disappoint u for not getting into top 4, but we did our best. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE OUR COACH!!!

i hope all of the soccerettes will blog abt wad all of us went thru for the past 1 year and soon we will step down and hand over this blog to the junior.

Last but not least,

YES, WE CAN!!!

We're All In This Together
Ben Lee

I woke up this morning
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together
I started smiling
'Cause you were smiling
And we're all in this together

I'm made of atoms
You're made of atoms
And we're all in this together.
And long division just doesn't matter
'Cause we're all in this together, yeah

I saw you walking
In the city
We're all in this together
The city's changing
'Cause we are changing
And we're all in this together

Every 12 seconds
Someone remembers
That we're all in this together
In the kitchen of your rent control apartment
We're all in this together

Come on baby I don't mean to rush you
I only wanted to reach out and touch you
I've got to start to open my heart

I know you think about jumping ship before it sinks
But we are all in this together
Ask a scientist
It's quantum physics
We are all in this together

And on the subway we feel like strangers
But we're all in this together
Yeah I love you and you love her and she loves him
But we're all in this together

You know baby there's never been protection
And all the history of human connection
Come on darling its alright to show me
You don't ever need to be lonely
Once you start to open your heart

I saw you crying
I started crying
'Cause we're all in this together
And then religion is a big decision
But we're all in this together

We're all in this together.

WE love soccer

Hey soccerettes, the blog has been inactive for quite some time alr so i shall blog smth now. :D
I know all of us are dissapointed w e fact that we are out of A div alr. BUT! Do rmb we still have one more game next week and i think we should try our best to win this match cos its gg to be our last match tgt as a team. It's sad to say this but thats the fact, we should all treasure the last moment we spent tgt in e field.

When coach say coming monday will be our last training, some of us including me feel quite sad and sudden cos training is like part of our life alr. i guess all of us will miss those training days we had when we see our juniors in the field after we step down. Although sometimes trainings were quite tough , i'm v glad that most of us endured and that makes what we are today! also, although we become more motivated and 'on' only at the start of this yr, i must really say that all of us have shown great improvements within this period, esp CANDICE! :) haaa

One more thing to mention. i think our team become more bonded now as compared to last yr(cos jiaen gossip w us!) haha. but bonding is diff becos tanto always eat dinner w her classmates and NOT us! lol. ok, i'm just kidding. :D

Anyway, i must say that ur are really a great bunch of ppl, i've nvr regretted joining soccer although i'm always scolded by coach( but i know thats for my own good la) Hopefully we can still gather ard in sch to kick, gossip and even study tgt. and i seriously hope coach can still stay in jj. Nth much to say alr, just hope all of us can work hard for our A lv and get good grades, get into the U that u wan and so on.. rmb, we are always a team no matter whr we are after we graduated from jj. love ya all and thanks coach for everything u've done for us. :)

Ps: dont catch my errors pls.
loves, kp.

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
