Penang Bridge International Marathon 2013

There's one person I really wanna thank you today, and he is no other than my hero daddy. =)

He stayed up whole night so that he can drive me to Queensbay on time, and was already waiting for me at the designated place ('cause I ran without my phone so we had to confirm a waiting place as he wouldn't be able to contact me). It was the best feeling I felt after a long long time to see him standing there and smiling, and laughing at me at the same time 'cause I was walking one kind. Hmmmp. And to hug him. =)

So yes. I was late for my marathon. Started 5 minutes late. When my dad woke me up it was already 2:30am and I was like sh*t. Zzz. Stupid Twilight kept me up til 12am. Hehehehe. How can you resist vampire movies?!?!?! :D I weally did try to sleep. Weally weally. ;)

Okay. Back to the story, didn't have time for Milo, no time to bang sai (bad bad bad), no time to warm up properly. I ran to the starting line and ran pass it like a boss. Haha.

Running with a colon full of sh*t is bad. Extra load. And it really uspets the tummy. =(

But then something cheered me up. There was this girl running in a cute unicorn mascot!!! It's so fluffy I'm gonna dieeeeee!!! Hahaha. Darn cute la. But I cannot imagine the heat she has to go through wearing that thick suit. Zzz.

[Yours truly]

Timing was satisfactory, since I started chaotically. Heh.

Merdeka Cup 2013

Merdeka Cup 2013. =)
A great trip.
*End of post*

HAHAHAHAHA!!! No laaaa...=) I have so much more to say.

I wish I could explain to you how proud I am of my girls and their performance in Merdeka Cup '13. But I just couldn't. =) To be honest, I was very worried and troubled when I first recruited the team 'cause half of the team were made up of new girls; and the other more experience half are not able to make it for training due to exams and work. This puts me & the coaches (Sam & Jeremy) in big dilemma 'cause we need the experience players to go against the already expected BIGGER opponents; but the younger, newer players were the ones dedicated & committed to every single training. :S Plus, I have a very very fresh and new goalie, Michaela who had to step in for the legendary Sharron as she just underwent a knee surgery. =(

But the girls really made me proud during both games. =) I told them, "History is not gonna repeat itself, we are not gonna lose to them, we are gonna change history this time." And true enough, we didn't lose any game. It was a 5-5 draw against the KL giants, and a 8-6 win over Selangor ladies. But it wasn't enough for us to be Champion due to the goal difference.

I guess I made a mistake after all. I should have said: "We are gonna lift the cup this year!!" instead. 

WHY LA EELEEN WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!

Hahahahaha. But if you ask me, was it enough for me...... Honestly & sincerely, it was. =)

It has nothing to do with the results of the game, but to see Penang Women's Floorball grow. At least I know now Penang is gonna have a new batch of young, passionate, aspiring female floorball players coming up. They may not be great yet, but you just wait and see, I assure you. You just wait and see. ;)

 [My pride & joy]

[3 cheers for Team Selangor!!

You should be able to guess which team is Penang based on our jersey. If not, it's time to go back to school to draw & color Penang flag. Lol.]

[It was an honour to be leading the team & screwing referees when they screw us first.]

[Battle scars]

[My koala. Haha.]

[4 hotties & a smoking hot panda =P ]

[Alina & Eeleen. So much to learn from her =) ]

[My favorite picture among all. =) 'Cause I see ONE team.]

 [Together with the Penang boys who emerged as Champion of Merdeka Cup 2013!!! *proud of them*]

I know many of you don't read my blog, but if any of you accidentally swing by;

Sam & Jeremy: 

Thank you for coaching and helping the team to blossom. Sam, wished you could stay longer and help the girls be better players. But you have a higher calling now. Hahaha. Jeremy, you better train the girls so well that they kick asses!! ;)

Penny, Sheryn, Serene, Lavinia, Sophia, Sharron:

Thank you for being the backbone and strong pillar of the team. I hope this passion for floorball will never die, even if our physical ability fail us. HAHAHA. But please la...Mika Kohonen is still playing floorball right now at the age of 36 so you girls have no valid reasons to give. =P

Pei Yi, Natasha, Winnie, Ling Ling:

I know you girls are at a cross road where it will probably lead you to a future which may no longer allow you to be exposed to floorball. Though deep down inside I hope you will continue to play and grow the sport of floorball wherever you go, I wish you girls the best!! And hope that floorball and the people around it help shaped you into someone better. You girls are my pride. Sincerely.

Michaela, Naomi, Yen Yen, Jessie, Shan Ling, Amylia, Sherwin, Beverly:

I admire your courage, your passion, your love for floorball. You girls help remind me why I love floorball in the first place and gave me reasons to continue. And for that, I really wanna thank you. =) You may be young, but don't ever let that stop you from reaching your full potential. Continue to train, and never give up even if you feel like quitting. It's not gonna be easy, that's for sure. But when is anything in life easy..? =)

Love,

Lovely December

Hey peeps! Here are some pictures to show you how I spent my December. And I would say that year 2010 was one of the best years of my life, and the past December was just wonderful. =)

But but but..before that,  I just wanna show you pictures of me doing indoor rock climbing for the very first time!! Hehe. I've actually been to the real rocks before but not an indoor one. =) It was totally fun. Muscles were badly aching after that but it was all worth it.
For the sake of nicely toned arms and legs. =)

[My coach as my belayer]

 

Okay okay..about December. =) I went back to Penang for a short break during the past December 'cause I promised daddy that I would always go back for Christmas if I could. So I kept that promise for year 2010. =)

We went to the Penang Pesta. It's been more than 10 years since we last went so we just dropped by to see if there were any changes lo.. Manatau still the same old stuff. Haha. =) I remember vomiting in Pesta the last time we went 'cause I got really dizzy after one of the rides. Hehe.

[The only ride we took 'cause my dad said less risk. Haha. & to prevent me from vomiting too la. =)]

[Stupid stall games. Spent RM30 and got two fake Nike badgets. Haha.]

 [But then I really like this stall 'cause it's so colorful!! =) I'm memang a sucker for colorful things. =)]

[Dad throwing darts. Missed by one. If not we could have gotten one of those ugly Doraemon. Hehe.]

[And look at these poor teddies. Like mass hanging execution. T.T]

 

And for the Christmas that just passed, instead of buying gifts for friends, I baked cookies for them instead. It was like a cookie Christmas. =)

[The main baker - Mommy! =)]

 [This is also her trying to be funny. Haha. Cute leh.]

 [Ginger bread man cookie]

 

 [Burnt baby elephant. Ooopss.]

 

[My my..look who's helping us with the cookie designs. Haha. =)]

 [Taaadaaa!!! Cookies made out of love. =)]

 

[Spot 101 difference between the bottom two]

 

Last but not least, here's a few Christmas present I received which I really, really like. God must have told them I needed these. Haha. =) But anyhow..thank you so much. And most of all, thank you Jesus. For loving me.

[Daddy bought me this Nokia E72 after he failed to convince me to get iphone 4. I wanted to get this phone on my own after I started working but then..Thank you D. Mwah!! =)]

[Karyee got me this. =) It's a Wrist ID so that if anything happens to me on the street while running, the first responder would know who to call. =) This is very important for those who likes to train alone like me. Thanks babe.]

 For more information, check out www.roadid.com. I haven't really got the thing yet. Still waiting for me to choose what color and what to engrave on the aluminum plate. =)

 [& My coach gave me this for Christmas. It's a sports necklace where it helps to better regulate your blood circulation and helps to recover from muscle pain & tiredness.]

[How effective it is I don't know. Some say it's just a mental thing. But oh well, I shall try it out and let you guys know okay? =)]

[& Kevin gave me this cute little Patrick lego keychain!! =) I grew up with Lego and Lego toys are probably the only thing I kept until now. So Patrick's gonna be my new additional Lego family member. Hehe.]

I ended the year by attending church's Watch night service. =) Did a duet together with Melissa, singing "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns.

[The dinosaurs: woan sein, eeleen, theresa, sara, ayen, & melissa]

'Cause who am I, that the Lord of all the earth, would care to know my name, would care to feel my heart.

Despite how insignificant we think we are, God chose to love us. And that's the only thing we need to remember, that He loves us.

Will upload pictures of the Christmas event our church held in the next post. =) Wait for it.
