A Tribute to him...

Who haven heard of him in OCR..

Lik Kok, once known as an extrodinary personal assistant, has left the FAR-EAZT organisations for a highly sought after position in France. He was always a reliable and trustworthy assistant, handling requests and schedules the busy timetable for his boss.

Dearest Lik Kok, Please take good care of yourself lots n lots.. You will be badly missed by us..Especially you boss - Mr Lim... Do take care and keep in touch.

I didn’t attend the very last revision lecture for Economics this morning though I was already awake!! So, I didn’t get to see my Macro Economics lecturer at all!! Haha!!

'The most secure blog you have is the Microsoft Word in your C drive.'

I have finally settled down to my books of Economics, Marketing,
Biz Law and Info Tech and I have intended to go MIA* till my exams are over.

BUT I just needed to come online to do my usual round of whining and complaining… Isnt that the purpose of my blog?? For me to whine bout my life.. Duh~~

A getaway from my books.. I will be spending my wee hours mugging tonight cos I just woke up not long ago from my 3 hours nap.

Life been pretty simple without hockey in the evenings.. So it’s simply lessons in the mornings at Pulau NTU followed by either tuitioning with Anita or napping with my bed in the afternoons. *Smiles*

Anyway, my tag’s bombarded with so many messages over the past 3 days. I have no control over what people have to tag.
*which is why i had thoughts of bringing it down last yr but was persuaded against it* Moreover, taggers can make use of all kinds of identities to post a tag especially when it comes to unconstructive stuff. So why bothers…

Maybe…All bloggers should just blog in their Microsoft Word in my C drive just as what was quoted off the internet.

*MIA means Missing In Action

Backs-Shoulders-Knees Ache & not many days to exams already…

Team & I been testseriED and results are that we drew 1 and lost 2 (2-2, 1-0, 3-1) Team played well as we picked up from the very 1st to the last game.

Individually, I could have fare better. It’s not best of mine. I didn’t play WELL. I would expect better clearances and clearer vision on my part. But at least I know, I fought hard to be where I am today.

And I must really KUDO to the umpires. I can understand that the HK umpire’s advantage playing for the HK team. BUT I have never expected our very own home-grown one could not even blow for a normal ‘advantage to defender’ call. Haha!! What a joke!! Let me do a simple situation analysis. *Should I bring in my TOWS analysis from my marketing?*

Situation:
Lilian, at the right top D, got the ball downright into her stick but was pushed over and our dear home-grown one who was standing on the left of the post could actually blow for a Penalty Corner.

Analysis:

1) From experience and knowledge, defenders should always be given the advantage and be protected. In fact, Lilian actually got the ball!! BUT… well well…

2) From the corner where our dear home-grown was rooted, I’m way impressed by her eyesight and judgment.

3) Funniest of all, you went to consult the other umpire who came on the same plane, stayed in the same hotel and eat the same food with the HK team for advice! HAHA!! And, most of all, that umpire has been playing an advantage-no whistle game. And you, happily joined her ya?? The more the merrier?? Or should I say, too much of HKing?

*Anyway, Lilian did us proud by giving her penny for thoughts right into our dear home-grown one. Right in her face!! Well done there!*

Evluation:
It’s definitely a good learning experience on our part, to play with a fabulous umpire with great potential of great grooming opportunity to soar in the umpire’s circle. Oh ya. Dear home-grown could also probably make it with her great hockey skills for that I heard she in our u21 training squad. BUT wait, I thought our squad plays ‘world-class’ hockey?? And isn’t our u21 a feeder squad to our senior side?? Hmmm.. there is a case of contradiction here.. I wonder how is this dear home-grown of ours going to cope.

But I do hope all of us will take this time round as a great learning experience. An opportunity to work harder for that I believe everyone, including me have more room for improvement.

Am I right?? My deareast mates..

P/s: “cannot see the ball is NOT an excuse for not blowing or for making a wrong call! And being exposed only to local leagues is not reason for making poor judgments and calls for that it’s still hockey that u are umpiring and that the ball is still round. Rules are still the same and concept is still the same. Probably pace and speed to fast for u to access?”

Enough of this umpire saga for the time-being which is one of the reasons why I refuse to pursue my umpiring certificates and focus on my skills.

HK series are finally over and we are going to take a long break from hockey. What am I going to do without hockey for the next 2 weeks?? Im so gonna be mugging non-stop!! Haha!! Malaysian series have been pushed back till next Mar06. I dun know why but I’m more excited bout Malaysian Series than HK!!

And im so looking forward to SRC BKK trip!! Whee!! Probably cos we are doing the organizing this time round!! To chin, ying, fen n steff: Jia You!!! *hands up – woo woo!!!*

Ok ok .. im done for the night/morning.. I got a test tom!! I studied last night b4 this morning’s game inside the 7 persons sharing room in the dim lights!! *sobsob*

Back to school tomorrow …

I’ll be back soon.. with more bloggggggiinnnnggggsss…. with pictures too from testseries n metup with OCR-ppl last thurs!!

*Oh leon!! So glad ya online last nite when I needed to pour my woes out!!! ??Faster come back!! We shall go Setttlerscafe soon!! RobinA was asking when we going again!! We go when u come back.. Go party too!!*
