Just for thoughts

Hi everyone,

Sorry, I supposed everyone is waiting for a new post etc. as I saw the blog is dying esp. the tagboard. I hope that this post would bring everyone back to life again. Lately, the rain has dampened the mood of many as we are not able to play our favorite sports in the heavy rain. However, I could like to thank those who still came down for the past few weeks irregardless of how far you live etc. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Just for a thought, what keeps you holding to a sport that you love? Is it passion or is it loyalty? Is it because it is already in your blood and routine that's why rain or shine, you will still be there? Is it because you know that it is a place where you can gather with your good friends and played like a team?

I hope everyone can seek their answer on why you held on for so long in the first place when you feel at the lowest point. =)

Another thought to ponder about...Is winning or losing important to you? Lose because they are not my real team mates? Win because I am the strongest?

What is the real joy behind losing or winning? Is it the experience of being fully engaged in whatever you are doing?

Hope everyone has a good week. Photos of last week will be uploaded shortly.

New post

Yahoo~~~,

Everyone hope you are able to see a big change in the blog. All the edits and designing is solely done by Mr. Charles. I am really happy to see someone volunteering his time to help out. Cool eh? Love the banner and words. Truly speaking, this blog has evolved into a volleyball life story blog.

Last week, it was quite happy and sad. Sad that the rain forced us to end early i.e. 7pm. Happy that we incorporate the advanced players into the training between 4-5pm. I can understand that if we keep changing or improving, some of you all might not like the management part on why keep changing things.

Do not worry, once a suitable system has been discovered and found, we will not change that much. Meanwhile, please hold your complaints and test drive with us as we need people to give us constructive feedback and comments to improve the better of everyone.

Cheers,

7-up (Gosh, deeply in love with the blog mannnn)

long time no post

Hi all,

Hope that everyone has a good Tiger year. I (7-up) hereby wishes everyone to have a blissful year and be in good health and enjoy many and lots of volleyball. =) [Do not get sick as every Sunday still has volleyball]

Many things have happened. Hence, I did not post much. However, I would like to take this chance to say this.

Passion cards has 10 names already and we have let the CC know. Although this is nothing much at all, however, to me, I think that everyone has gathered together when we face a common problem. Everyone of you out there tried to help whatever u can.

I really can feel it. The spirit of 'Nakama'. I also like to say that now the new system is still in the progress of building its foundation. All and everyone is trying to help out. I understand that everyone likes to play a part and I also likes everyone to play a part too. Hence, I would really appreciated if you all can endure with me as this is a system whereby we need people to experience it to make it better. Building a system is never easy, sustaining a system is never difficult either as I believe if everyone is motivated to help out, everything should be alright.

I am not the best but I am doing my best =)

Sadly to say, even if Tiong Bahru CC closed down Volleyball training, I am very happy that I have make so much volleyball friends. I am seriously honored that through these few years, everyone helping out even though people come and go. I really hoped that Tiong Bahru has turned into a place where you feel home, a place where you can joke with and complain your daily lives or share your things with. It did for me...thats why I am hoping that you can have it too. Hope to see you all tomorrow if possible =D

Hello all,

Last Sunday was a big step and a big mark for everyone, the NEW timing, NEW system.

This is to hope everyone could take note of these few issues to help us sail through the obstacle;

1) Litters - Last Sunday was a great improvement, lesser rubbish was spotted. Keep up the good work everyone, do not stop.

2) Smoking area - As mentioned, smokers if you like to smoke, smoke at a place where nobody can see you all. Thank you for your cooperation, no more smoking behind the fences. Mindful of where you throw your butts..

3) The charge has become $1 instead of $0.50. Now on, there will be a monthly birthday cake celebration and you will be looking forward for new balls.

4) Passion card membership [show CC some support]- We require of 10 person minimally to join Tiong Bahru CC as passion card holders. If you have passion card already, you need not sign at all.

The first 10 personnel who sign up, will subsidize $2 off from our funds, which is only $10.

[Please do not worry, you need not pay $10 at a shot. You will be paying through the $1 fund. We will take note of your attendance.]

Currently, we have

1) Fion

2) Guni

3) Charles

4) Zackiel

5) Chee Hao

6) Jia Hui

7) Qili

A few words from me (Personal though):

I am really very happy that everyone is coming together to help this interest group by your means to get over this obstacle. I really can see each and every one of you de effort i.e. Alvin willing to sacrifice his time to coach, YaYa taking time to make birthday list, Ray trying his best to take shots like mad, Alan using his own time to purchase squeezer, ask his friends to help us out and cleaning stores, Chee Hao offering help and advises quietly and helping in the dark, Jason who offers advice and wanting to save the place and secure the place and Charles, for always advising and take up the initiative to think of plans to help, Zhi ping who donates his volleyball and medical kit and giving feedbacks, Xuan guan who is willing to help even though he might feel uncomfortable.

I must seriously say, THANK YOU, please tolerate and endure these through with me. Yes, there will be disagreement, there will be unpleasant experience, there will be heated arguments but I feel that if we are open-minded rather than narrow-minded and understanding to every matter, everything will be alright.

Everyone is learning, learning to do what is right and when a choice or decision is made by that person, he/she tries his/her best to make the correct choice available to them at that point of time. [That's what I believe]

The spirit for Nakama should never falter or disappear...the spirit of teamwork and laughter together, the spirit of supporting each other in need or in darkness and never give up hope in each other even in time of crisis...That's the spirit of Nakama.
