ello everyone.. its been a while since i last saw anyone of you girls..
Well, I think all of you understand what i mean by "time slips by"..2 months have past just like that..

[For me, everything is okay, had a slight change of job, but still working hard as hard, if not, harder..you girls, try to can catch a breather during the holidays yah]

I felt an urge to write down some replies to some of those entries from that "Black Notebook" that you girls have pen down for me.. really gotto say, some entries really made me felt very touched.

hehe..I beginning to doubt if anyone of you can remember what you wrote to me dere?.. hahah.. nvm.. take it as a message from me in anycase.. Oh well, kinda took quite long to 'reply' huh.. hehe, its abit of (lazy lah.. i admit).. timing ba.. If i pen down 2 months back , probably you girls read and then forget..

guess it better to give some reminders now, esp you girls will be back in training (soon).. and of course, majority that I will be writing here are for the Sec4s..[To sec 4s, well, I dont really hope you girls have been spending your precious studying time online. so, i assume this is a better time..]

alright here goes..(in order of entries in this little black book)

hi..

~ Charis ~
Yea, you are one of the few who can really -click- with me. And of course, I have long treat you like a friend more like a student :>
We always seem to have this common understanding for each other -- its really amazing :)
Guess it may be because you reminds me when I was younger; and we share the same horoscope sign ba.. so can think quite alike!

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
I know you have no lack of friends, but do come to me if you really need any advice or simply to share your joy.
Really hope you have truly work very hard for your just ended O's. All the best to you!

~ Shihua ~
Wow! Girl ah, your handwriting is so neat here..(can sense the effort)
Guess you will prob tell me your handwriting will change with your mood. One says handwriting reflects a person's character -- maybe thats why your character will swing with different days. (hahaha.. )
Anyway, I been wanting to tell you (but never seem to have chance) that I like you (not that kinda like lah..) since the day I spotted you. I believe you will become a shining star one day. Believe me, you can, if you can control a little of your temper, and learn to be more patient... :)
Of course, do keep in touch, (update me where you will be going after your results ok) both of you sisters never fail to make me smile with those out-of-world comments/ thoughts/ jokes and not forgetting your -zhao pai- smile. Cheerios :>

~ Celesther ~
You have been one of the most sensible girl I have taught. Its amazing how girls at your age can be that in-dept with your thoughts.
The 1-to-1-moment @ the foodcourt was when I truly discovered you as you.

Really glad that you perservered in shooting till the end to make it a true exeprience that you will remember. Not forgetting the effort and help you have taken with initiative while taking care the pistol team. Thank you, girl.
You wanna grab a coffee with me in the future? It's not a problem (check out with charis why) .. :>

~ Jasmine ~
Thanks girl, from the bottom of my heart. You have been a great help.
Thou it has only been 3 years, but you have truly grown up alot. From a little girl, who cannot really carry the rifle for too long, someone who is abit scare of me (?is it true?), someone who is reserved at a corner mostly...(yah, all become 'opposite' now.. keke)

Yea, indeed -size- does not matter. You are a true living example that a determined -soul- can be so much bigger and achieve more.
Thanks for all the help, care and feedback.. i personally cant bear to leave too.. but some hard decisions have to be traded for some other benefits. I believe a change is good.. as I mentioned before, "there is only progress when you step out of your comfort zone"
Let me know if there's any updates in the team.. I really still wanna keep in touch! (just gimme a beep - msn or sms)

~ Melanie ~
wah..think your entry is the most touching among all..非常感动 to know I stand a big part during your trainings (thou its only once out of 3 to 4 sessions per week?) and to know my presence is felt during competitions :>
of course, I know a coach presence is felt during competitions (我曾经也是过来人。。) So I also a bit 内疚 when I sometimes never go with you girls to those smaller competitions because of other work commitments.

You all must train harder ok.. to have a coach with you girls during weekdays training is a big bonus this time, so must 练出多一点成绩！somemore, you will be having a dedicated pistol coach – so, no more excuse!

Do feel free to msg me if you still need 一点鼓励.. I never 偏心 one ok! :D
And, remember to 用功读书K. You know we don’t usually have a second chance, so learn to treasure every moment!

~ Renee ~
Learn to aim higher and put in effort to achieve your goals!
I am glad to see your passion and perserverance in shooting these years.
All the best to you!

~ Rouying ~
Girl, you have really 进步 a lot these days. be it attitude, work, study... Jia you~ ok..Yea, I will remember you for the girl who look Sweet and innocent on the outside, but 'complicated' in the inside.. and not forgetting the way you eat lah!.. :D cheers!

~ Odelia ~
you are such a sweet darling. haha, thats the impression I got for you since 2 years ago. its great to know how you have manage to mingle well into the team even thou you join us one year later.
being the 'last' to join in the team, you certainly have some pressure to work harder.
I guess we had our fair share of moments together to urge you to strive on.. Keep going girl..

Remember, shooting days will soon be over before you know, so seize the days left!

To the Sec2s:
Thou its only a few of you. But sad to say, I havent reached the stage to understand each and everyone of you. So, just a few words..

~ Beverley ~
You should be training with another coach now yah (whether or not I'm here in the school)
Remember whether a coach is strict or unreasonable or not -- is not that matters, what is most important if your -attitude-. Stay fun-loving :>

~ Cheryl ~
Don't be too afraid to try or failures.
Try to truly -enjoy- the process and the journey that you are taking.
Keep your mind focus.. jia you~

~ Jun Yin ~
You are now on the -UP- track..Keep it up! Keep your motivation and preserverance up too!
Learn to keep your life in balance.. and learn to juggle them well.

To Sec1s:
hi girls, no individual comments as those written above are really from the bottom of my heart. I havent been spending time with all of you (my apologies!) except WL because of Nationals training. But nonetheless, I hope all of you will continue to strive hard! Your batch has been the most talented batch so far.. so SET YOUR GOALS HIGHER..

~ Wenling ~
You are one of the privilege ones. Don't think this as an extra duty; not everyone has this chance.
I wont be nagging (think i am most open minded coach). But remember that for whatever activities you engaged in, remember your duties and goals set in shooting.

Continue to work hard and have more confidence in yourself!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

And.. after writing for so long.. ahh..! forgot that some of you did not pen down in this book :(
[can you girls do that for me next time? -- so that I will not 'forget' you in years to come (old liao lah!)]

~ Sabrina ~
hi girl, i havent see you for so long. hope you havent forget about me.. 你真是没良心 leh, never come and visit us at all! (your house is so near somemore)..

Thank you girl for all the efforts that you put in together with me. For putting down your pampered girl status and -心甘情愿- to 'suffer' under me. Appreciate your effort, thou you din make it till the end, but you are well remembered for your past glorious moments. remember, never give up! ;)

~ Yixin ~
You have been the most gentle, understanding and kind. Always seem to get bullied, but never really seem to mind. you have been truly a good girl.
thanks for being part of the team!

~ Rachel ~
[oops.. aiyoh. I almost left you out of this list!) -- why didn you take the 2007 team photo together with them?]
As a coach, really happy that you have made it to the NYT. I guessed a lot of experience and lessons is learnt through this journey of shooting. Cherish them and believe that you can do better in your next course of embarkment!

~ Melissa ~
You seem to always have a mind of your own -- knowing what you want. its good to have such strong character. you are smart too.. so believe yourself in whatever you are doing, enjoy the process and more importantly, never regret your choice..

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

okay.. i think i am almost done with this entry.. gees.. how long did it take me?...(got effort one ok..)

take care girls.... adieus.
