went back to school for math lecture and squash bonding/training camp yesterday.
had trouble trying to absorb what the lecturer was teaching, AS ALWAYS.
okay, fast forward to the camp.

14 squashers, 14 rackets. 9 hours. 4km. 60 sit ups. 60 push ups. 60 purpees.
and 1 hysterical screaming woman. LOL.

we had a motivational workshop by mr sanuse.
personally, i felt that it was the most meaningful activity for this camp. (:
sports psychology is something new for me.
learnt quite a few things, but one session wasnt enough to really build up our mental strength, as mr sanuse said.

but basically i learnt about the 'goodwill assumption', how to synchronise our thinking during training and stuff.
and we came up with a pledge to say to ourselves before trainings. X)
dont know whether it'll work, i shall give it a try.

after that was movie screening, The Game of Their Lives.
based on a true story in 1950s.
hahaha. the american soccer team won the championship even though they were the underdogs.
actually i only watched the last ten minutes of the movie. the exciting part was the game la.

but there was a line i like from the movie.

can't remember the exact sentence, but it was something like 'nobody knows who we are and nobody is expecting us to win. but after this game, they'll know us, the american team.'

so inspirational!
i hope we can achieve that, too. (:
even though the odds are stacked against us.

felt rather stressed during court training yesterday.
its like suddenly, i cant do anything well.
so disappointed with myself.
and felt quite bad if my emotions affected the rest.
but i felt better after sitting outside and eating oreos.

physical training was alot better than court training.
just have to push yourself, and you can do it.
it's all the same, determination is the key to everything. which, i think is what im lacking.
i give up too easily.

had debrief, got scolded by alice big time, went for dinner, then home.

lost focus, felt lost and stressed up.
but by the end of the day i felt better. (:
thank you, for doing what you always used to do.
i really needed that.

woke up bright and early to play squash in school at seven this morning.
the mental alertness wasnt really there in the morning, but still did better than yesterday.
bathed, then went for econs lecture smelling like a flower! LOL.
in contrast to lao pu who was SWEATING like mad beside me, cos i'm too hot! hahaha.

went to CWP (causeway point!) with lao pu after lecture to 'eat fruits'.
hahaha. while waiting for the 'fruit to be served' we had fun laughing and doing stupid stuff.
felt so tired after laughing NON-STOP. so i slept for three straight hours after i reached home.

training tmr!
and friday!
come on come on come on.

this is my favourite place in school.
