Hi all,

the 2007 season is going to start very soon. Hope you all have been training hard. As for the former players, I hope your teams are doing well. Mocha, did RV beat NHHS? All the best to Sherilyn who is the only one of the "3 sisters" to play for RGS. Kelly and Jaime, don't be disheartened. In my eyes, and in most of your friends', you are all great players and team mates. It is a pity RGS didn't select either of you. Have fun dancing (Jaime) and rolling in the mud (Kelly), and I pity the mummies doing the laundry. Anyway, as for the rest of the NHPS players, all the best for the upcoming tournament. As luck would have it, we are drawn with Nanyang in every single division....sigh. Dun worry too much about them, as far as I know, they are beatable. Remember how you whooped their aXXes last year during the nationals? Even without Wing Lam's super fightback (heart attack match), we were more than a match for them in the other matches. Last year, our Junior girls got beaten by them in the Zonal, and they are the same bunch who will be playing in this year's seniors. However, last year we didn't have Yi Le and Yi Rong in the lower division, so it was a no-brainer that we would lose. This year, with the team in good shape, I hope, we will be able to claim three points (you know which three points I am talking about...). And we also managed to hantam their Junior girls at the Unity Comp, so they are there for the taking. I will try to be there to support you all during the matches, but I will have to check my schedule, and school's been really really tough for me. I do like bringing you all out for tournaments...heh.. Don't need to teach, stand there and scream and shout and boss people around... so fun. Then can go for coffee break as I please, and paid to do it....heh. Anyway, try your best!

All the oldies, do come back next week to train if you can... They'll be training from 1-4 everyday, and the Senior girls do need some sparring practices. As for the ex-NHPS jersey, I want number 1! Of course I will take number 1, since I am the best. hahah.... And why is it Addidas??????? I protest! I want NIKE! No NIKE, No go. Addidas makes bleah clothes. Only their shoes are great... Anyway, continue to train hard. And I'll see you all when I can. Happy training. Best wishes from your three ex-coaches: Lee Jiao Lian (enjoying herself in beautiful New Zealand), Lin Jiao Lian (enjoying himself in his beautiful new condo with his beautiful Pearl), and ME(suffering in silence in a little cave in NTU wondering where my next meal is going to come from...).
