I rushed to Harbourfront Centre right after visiting the doctor and yet I was still earlier than Anqi. Siew Chin, Jinyang and I went in first while Tze Khit stayed there to wait for her. There were only three courts left at Sunsetbay since the rest were taken down for the Zouk Out event. We …

The warehouse and the beach
I can’t believe I’ll wake up so early this morning at eight plus. I really need to sleep more. I can’t even remember what time I’ve fallen asleep last night, not even the last thing I’ve done. I overslept the day before when I was supposed to meet up with Kailin to the Mizuno warehouse …
Sunsetbay and K-ster
I was finally down at the beach again. Weitat was late for hours as usual, but we didn’t wait for him. It was so exaggerating as we were meeting 1.30pm in the afternoon this time and he was still asleep by then. Sunsetbay was crowded with competition and only one court was available. Anqi was …
The finest NS life
Going for volleyball training three times per week and you don’t have to book in. You spend the rest of the time at home resting or studying. You need not sign any off pass to go for physiotherapy and you can jolly well start to recover since you need not carry things that would worsen …
Away from friends
These days I rot and rot, for things not within my control. The world is wide while my knowledge is shallow. I fail to anticipate for the unexpected; each time I set my mind off for a better day ahead, the clouds turn dark. Rain or shine, the worst always comes in. It has come …
The rainy day's outing
The first person who came after me was Ruoci. She was getting plumper each time I saw her, no doubt, still as sweet. It was the first time I didn’t expect for many turn-ups. I took out my notebook from my bag and started striking off names – I had given up. Though I had …
After the rain, the sun will shine with our hearts
It had been long since we last stepped into the community centre. It was the place we got to know each other and build up our friendship after all the enjoyable games. It was also where I started to build up my volleyball skill and spice up my life. Now it seems that I’m the …

As usual
Finally it didn’t rain. It had been hot the whole afternoon and I could hardly stare into the sky. As usual, some friends failed to turn up; some even kept quiet about not going. I felt stupid reaching on time, waiting down there alone, then started calling everyone using my phone. I took out my …
A touch of volleyball
I tried to play volleyball. I couldn’t dig, set, spike and serve properly. My knees were soft and I couldn’t bend and maintain the position. When I tried to reach for the ball, my knees refused to move. Even when the ball landed right on my hands, my back couldn’t keep still. I tried to …
Never like before
I was so lost when they asked me about my coach. I hadn’t seen him for so long. He didn’t give me much coaching and it wasn’t long after I joined the team, he stopped going down. No matter how biased or selfish he was, I didn’t want to disgrace him. I didn’t have good …
