sunshine day

oh man. what a sunny day it was! and very hot as well. as usual WCP was bustling with activities and there was the 3G family walkaton so WCP was super packed. there were alots of little kids and old people around. we were alittle afraid that our balls would hit somebody. but one thing i like about WCP is that you get to hear free music everytime they have these carnivals. hur hur hur..

today's turn out included kuanhuey, weilun, theodric, sebaz, sebaz jr, tam, gangyi, bryan, jas, ray, yongchuan, enmin, pearl, qi hui, and me! total = 15! not too bad hor? anyway i think i don't think i left anyone out or spell anyone's name wrongly right? hahahaha. this is our group photo today~!

sia la.. everyone posing so 'yang-guan' and putting on their megawatts smiles. lol. i think darlie or cologate can get us to be spokesperson already. lol. of course all money earned in the endorsement would go into our sotball funds. we need new equipments and by then, GST will be 7%. haiz...

oops. their true colours exposed! hahaha boys will be boys.

anyway no injuries today except for some people who got hit in the shin or arms during the fielding. oh. some dog got a shock of its life when a round yellow object zoomed past its head when it wanted to pee. hahaha i think the dog will never go pee at the tree anymore, so poor thing. aiyo - mr gang doesn't even let dogs off man!

since training today was smooth, we managed to conduct a mini meeting and the verdict: we have decided to collect $1 for every week that they attend training. the money will contribute to the petrol funds and the medical bills. i think the petrol fund is more for sebaz jr since he drive the equipment around and also bring us to lunch!

anyway we tried to cam-whore in sebaz jr's car on the way home. tried a couple of shots and finally.. ta-da! glad that it turned out nice. in order from left to right. sebaz jr, yongchuan, tam, rayson, jasmine.

woohoo~! i am looking forward to seeing new faces at training tmr!

that's exciting to hear! will bring my pen and paper to write down their email and hp contacts. whoosh! its good to see that the tagboard is so lively. =) hahahaha wonderful wonderful... anyway got this from fajar's melissa.. so i decided to put it up here.
COFFEE CUPS Author Unknown

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -
porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive,some exquisite. He told the group to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups...and then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.

God brews the coffee, not the cups...Enjoy your coffee!"

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Team JSA Whoosh!

yoyo.

please note that training next week is still on and training time and place is still the same. hopefully we will still have lots of space hahahaha. then maybe when we have more people, we can do our proper warm ups and cool downs and serious training!

anyway i think in future we can come up with a proper proposal with regards to how we handle the sick and injured. or maybe come up with proper fundings so that in the event someone gets injured, there is money available. =)

in case you are concerned, the little girl who got injured is alright now.( or so she says) so no worries ok!

maybe we can have this monthly club fund or something. lets say $5 bucks a month. so 1 year, you pay $60.. then the money can be used to buy new equipment or if everyone agrees - have a chalet or something. ok? or the regular drivers can also get a petrol subsidy or something. any final decision to this proposal will be discussed in the upcoming training.

so see you guys this sunday ok? don't be late arh!

training at wcp - 170607

Muahahahahhaha. Today's softball training was FUNNY! If only we took a video of it!

woah. Its been a long time since there was this much rainfall. The past two weeks were pure sun and nothing but the sun. But last night's rain carried over to today and so the game was conducted in the drizzling morning rain. How rare for us to rally enough people to form two team to play - so no rain is going to stop us from playing!

We had 5 ladies from NTSS playing with us. so that we managed to form two teams - and are still able to have a slightly injured umpire and a backstop. Hahaha. So people present today include: Kuan Huey, Weilun, Saurov, Bryan, Tham, Gangyi, Rayson, Jasmine, Seaz, En Min, Joan, Xiao Xuan, Joan, Shi Mei and Derek. This us hiding for the rain while waiting for people to come.



The teams: One team was dominated by the NTSS team. That team also included Bryan, Jasmine, Xiao Xuan and Kuan Huey. while the other was practically an all-guys team: Weilun, Saurov, Tham, Gang, Enmin, Joan, Me, Rayson and Derek.

ok i shall now talk about THE MATCH. In total, we played two innings and then attempted to play a tie breaker. The entire field was pretty flooded though it wasn't muddy. Now the funny bits:
Funny Moment #1:
We batted first and GANG was our first batter. After full count, Xiaoxuan pitched a ball and so gang was given a walk. Gang, being his usual cheeky self, decided to run towards first base with arms wide open and not looking at the direction that he was running. But the problem is - he was actually running towards 2nd base!!

All of us were pretty stunned at what he was doing. Maybe he was disorientated or he was too happy that he didn't get strike out. hur hur hur. By the time he realised his mistake, it was too late - rule is that you cannot run too far away from the intented track. so... OUT!!

Funny Moment #2
Derek was on base and he wanted to steal base. Naturally guys would slide when stealing bases. Man, when he slided we were like 'woohoo~! nice slide' - until we realised the grass was too slippery and he over shot. He tried to hug the base but too bad. Hahahaha. OUT!

Funny Moment #3, 4
This was shared by Weilun and Saurov who both lost their balance and fell while catching and running bases respectively.

Oh dear, i think my brother thinks i am mad or something 'cause i keep giggling to myself while typing out this entry. It probably doesn't sound very funny but it was then. *sigh* If you missed it - too bad. hahaha. Lunch was at IMM's iichban. YUMMY. but good food always tastes better with a bunch of good buddies.

this is our table packed with lots of food. *drools*


While waiting super long for our lunch to be served - we told GHOST STORIES! eeks!! on the whole it was a pretty fun day with lots of laughter and fun! oops. i nearly forgot. we suffered another injury and it was caused by none other than our Wang Gang Yi! his slide home was blocked by our very brave Sijia. but she suffered an injury to her elbow. ouch... hope she is alright now. so now, the score was a tie. 3-3. we didn't even get to complete the tie-breaker inning. lol.


the injured admist the commotion.


Gangyi: YES! i am the number one hitman. THAT'S ME MAN.

Let's do things step-by-step

pheeewheeet!

I see that our blog is starting up very nicely! Well done, hua-zai! (:

I added the tagboard, so visitors can leave a message and keep this blog alive! Most importantly, I hope the team can be "resurrected"!

I hope to snap pix of the team at the game this Sunday.

We only have 12 players on our side for now, and 5 from NTSS. So we'll need at least 2 to make sure we have just enough to play. Let's hope we can find the 2, or more. And let's hope for good weather!

Oh yes, Gangyi will be heading back to JJ to borrow equipments. Hopefully, get at least 2 bats. Of course it'll be splendid if we can get the bases and catcher equipments!

Let's do things slow for now, and have training every Sunday as much as possible... And then, we'll see what comes next... (:

channel for communication

channel for communication

And so, after "training" on Sunday...
We decided to create a "webpage" for US as a channel for communication.

It's gonna help the team find out bout our training dates and times, our progress, and what-nots. That's gonna include our post-training activities too!

I hope this is gonna help us have a better attendance for our trainings!
Our attendance pathetic on Sunday.
There were only 8 of us - Bryan, Gangyi, En Min, Zoe, Sebas, Yu Hua, Rayson, Jasmine.
We can't even form a team!

So let's all try to make time for trainings ok? (:

Till we meet again, take care. We'll meet up soon!

-Jasmine

P.S. I'll be trying to do up this page. So gimme some time. And do give me any suggestions that you have to do up the page! (:
