Teachers have been letting us train.
For what?
Ask yourselves.
To win in the tournament that is coming up very soon.
What is training for?
To train so that we can improve therefore, win more schools in the upcoming tournament.
Get it?
Don't skip training at whim!
What have you people been treating training as?
Something to kill time when you're bored?
Goodness, you're so wrong.
Train harder, please, people.
We aren't going for B Divisions already.
Whose fault?
Obviously it isn't Jocelyn's or Kenglin's or Jiaxin's or Meiting's (so on and so forth) fault.
Apparently, it's those who hadn't been attending training for ages, I shalln't name then lest they come after me saying I'm whatever, blah blah.
Train harder.
Don't give up at the last minute.
We've trained so hard in the holidays because we know, we know we've got an aim to fulfill for the sake of Mr Kek.
Win some glory for BGSS Basketball, alright?!
Agree?

Alright,
if nothing goes wrong,
we will be able to have a steamboat gathering together and chalet with BBQ with the Basketball tees ready.
The chalet will most probably be during the March holidays.
Don't worry, the new sec1s will have a share too, for the tees. [:
If nothing goes wrong.
Everything is still in the midst of planning.
Any objections?
Please tell Jane or Ivy during training or when you see them.

The thing is when everything is added up, it's alot of money.
Which means everyone have to pay quite a sum.
We're still trying to find a way to cut down, as in the budget.
Thats all for now.

2007-12-13T20:26:00.000+08:00

SORRY TO THOSE WHO ATTENDED TRAINING ON 13TH DEC(WED)
ESPECIALLY GRACE.
SORRY.

2007-11-30T22:27:00.000+08:00

Wow.
Its like everyone got comments about the sports camp la.
HAHA.

Ya.

-firstly,
the food is HORRIBLEEEE.
-Secondly,
PT sucks.
-Thirdly,
my grandmother is better than Mr Hafiedz. xD

But overall,
i think its still okay la.
We suffered and we enjoyed.
Most importantly,
we learn, we share and we bond. [:

On the first day of the camp when we arrived at the foyer or something,
some of us had to register dont know what la.
Then we had to have our bags MANUALLY checked by teachers. =.=
Like no privacy like that lor. zzz.
After settling down, we had The Amazing Race at the Botanics Garden.
Super tiring, i tell you. zzz.
Run here, run there.
Lunch-ed and dinner-ed..
Hmm,
then... slept at 10.30.
Obviously, we never sleep so early la. We had potato chips then talk talk. Some basketball girls changed bunks without any teachers knowing for 2nights la.
Then the rest i dont quite remember le la.

On the second day of the camp,
we started to have friendly matches with Manjusri.
I think we only played for 2quarters until it started pouring.
The last score was 28-32.
And we won. [:
Then dragonboating at Kallang Basin.
WAAAAAH, really can die!
In the end, some of us had tanned and fair skin colour on our legs.
But, its all worth it la.
At least, we had fun, right..?
Then, the rest, i also forget le. =.=

The next day, we had another camp with NgeeAnn.
And no doubt, they are REALLY strong, in terms of skills.
Score was 50-22, if im not wrong.
After the match, we went back to school and had a little meeting of whatever to settle all the whatever disputes we had.
Then lunch ah..?
CANT REMEMBER THE REST LA.
STM is getting the better of me. ZZZZZZ.

I LOVE TEAM. xD

2007-11-14T00:35:00.000+08:00

Sorry about not posting yesterday because my siblings were practically GLUED onto the computer so i cant use except late in the night but i was also lazy. :X

Er, theres training yesterday, AGAINNNNNNNN.

Sorry eh, everyone, I was late. :X
Yesterday's training quite relaxed la cause we had more time for breaks.
Almost everyone had muscle aches except Jiaxin and Dawn.
After 20rounds around the Basketball court, some drills then break, right..?
If im not wrong.
Then after awhile, Miss Cheng went away for quite some time.
And she returned with DONUTS!
Cheeeeeeeeers!~ :D

When she went away for that long moment, we had longerrrrrr breaks.
Haha.
And lots of fun too.

Then after break, drills and more drills.
Followed by shootings.
Then after we finished the donuts,
we went home.
lol.

Regarding the BBQ,
if you all want nearer pits,
it will be on a weekday.

If its on Saturday, the pit is near Bedok Jetty which is like so so so far away.
=.=
But till now, only 10 person voted.
Dont tell me theres only 10people in the team.
I dont want this thingy to end up like 3/3's.
Cause I think Im going to take away the polling system soon.
No point putting it there if no one is gonna vote, right?

And ya, Ivy and me intend to go to Escape Theme Park on the 17th of November.

30/08/2007 prize presentations...

2007-08-30T19:19:00.000+08:00

Today was the prize presentation, we all were very happy but Mr Kek was not here with us...
Reached there at about 3 plus, we manage to watch the final for the boys, Yishun against Commonwealth...All the players manage to get a t-shirt and we get to chose colour...Either black or red...All agree with black so we took black...
We went over to the court and sit down to watch the match...After awhile Yuying arrived and chosen the red t-shirt...
The match was exciting, at last Yishun won the CHAMPION...
Prize presentation soon start...They present the prizes to the girls runner-up and winner, we have a photo-taking together than follow by the boys runner-up and the winner and also have photo-taking...4 teams were told to have a photos-taking together and every teachers, coaches and the organizers were all taking pictures of us...
After all this were not finish yet...Every teams continue to take photos at Singapore Basketball Center(SBC)...We took lots of pictures so do Yuying and the other teams but both boys team leave earlier than us...Left the 2 girls teams...
Miss Cheng taken pictures of us and Coach too...After awhile, Coach leave...As for us, we continue to take more photos and we took alots of it...Take here and there non-stop...Photos~photos~photos...
At last, we taken lots of pictures and its time for us to leave...We went out and took pictures again before we board the bus and leave...On the bus heading back to school, some of the girls took pictures again in bus...All were really very happy...
Reached school, we changed into jersey and took lots of pictures again...We do really have fun taking so much pictures with every girls...Just that although we took lots of pictures as a team but without teachers and coach is a bit weird as they help us, push us and encourage us...They really did lots of things for us and without them, I don't think we will get the results which we all want...
P.S Therefore, special thanks to the teachers and coaches who have help us so much...We will always remember what are the things you have done for us...^_^

27/08/2007 Adidas Competiton...(Final)

2007-08-27T18:49:00.000+08:00

Today was the final playing against Yuying again...We meet them once in the first round and won them by 2 points...Now playing against them so somehow we will know what are their strength...
Already in the Final so need not worried too much as we can get prizes and metals...Just only depend if we want to get more and win the game to be CHAMPION...Till so far we made, what we want sure is to be CHAMPION...Just only 1 more step...
As usual, we will listen to what Mr Kek and Coach want us to play...The game today, girls seem to be a bit nervous but after awhile we are all focus in the game...
First quarter, Yuying lead us 11-4...However, we did not give up and stay calm for the next quarter...
Second quarter, we tried to score and pull the scoring nearer...Last of the quarter, we still lost to them 7 points at the score of 16-23
Third quarter, we narrowed the gap further...Left a few minutes, it became a one-point game, 26- 27...At the end of the quarter, they walked off leading by three points at 33-30...
Last quarter, we eventually caught up with Yuying team, taking the lead at 36-35 with 8:00 on the clock...The game became to be very excited that both teams of the supporters were nervous for us...At last left with few mintues, Noralinda was calm enough to sink one of her two free throws to make it 41-39 to finally put an end to Yuying’s resistance. Yuying’s lack of squad depth told in the end as Bedok Green outshot and outrebounded them to capture the Tournament trophy...
After the game, we were all very happy and Coach suggested to take photos so we take before we leave Singapore Basketball Centre(SBC)...[Venue being change...]
Went back to school, we were told to think of the 5 reasons why we win the game and Miss Cheng told us to think what are the strength of the opponents...We think lots of it with her and teammates help...After this, being dismissed...

24/08/2007 basketball training...

2007-08-24T18:46:00.000+08:00

Today training is a bit different as to get prepare for the coming competition...Miss Cheng written lots of things down which we will have to train for it...Time might not be enough so everything we do just do about 2 times than we change to others...
It might be tiring for us but all we have to do is just to let us get ready and prepare for the match...I believe what we have train and learnt won't go to drain as is already the last match and 1 more step to CHAMPION...We will have to go all the way and don't give up...=]

Finish doing warm-up, get ready to went into Court 2 for the game to start...We do some trails...Like under-baskets, 2 points 'elbow' shooting than free-throw...(Kinda forgotten...)
Time was up than we went back to our bence and listen to what Mr Kek and Coach have to say...
Game starts...Leading 8-6 at the end of the first quarter, we were matched point-for-point in the second quarter by St Anthony’s to go off at half-time with a slim 16-14 lead....
In the third quarter, We stepped up a gear to outscore St Anthony’s 11-5 to lead 27-19 and gave themselves enough of a lead to hold off the last quarter challenge of St Anthony who outscored them 5-7. In the end, their third quarter display was enough to win them the game....
In the end, we manage to beat them by 32-26...We were all very happy that we made it to the Final...
While waiting for bus, as usual we will have some talked about the match...After some talk, we stayed back for while to watch the others match which were Yuying playing against Huayi...While watching, teachers and Coach also told some of us to look out for the opponents like #11, 12 and 05...

Today was the third match playing against Yuying at 3.15 p.m. We leave class at 1 p.m. which is our lunch break and board bus and leave school at 1.30 p.m. to CCAB...
Reached there about 2 plus, still early and we playing at court 3(the same court again...)There was no empty court so we can't have any shooting, just sitting down at the side of court 3 and watch the Hua Yi's boys playing against Guangyang's boys...
Till their 3rd quarter, we went out to have our warm-up and saw Yuying Girls...Saw 2 of them was tall(which was number 11 and 12), feeling a bit stress but didn't distract much on our warm-up...
After warm-up, we went to toilet first than went back to the court...Thought the game had finish but it was just 4th quarter...Than sat at the side and watch the boys play...
After their game finish, it was our game...We do 3 corners passing for our trails than went back to our side to listen to what teachers and Coach will said...
The game start...Our defends was not very good during the 1st half...(who was leading, I can't hardly remember)Our attacks also rather slow at that time...
2nd half, we tried to improve on our defends and attacks...Till the last quarter at the last few mintues, the score was near and we tried to speed up and start to intercept the opponent balls...They were leading 3 points and left the last few mintues, we use full court press and try to steal their balls...
At the very last few seconds before the game end...opponent get the ball and tried to shoot in and score than we tried to defend the ball of getting into the basket...But they still manage to get the ball in and the time was just up.....lucky enough that the ball is not counted and we were very happy that we win...
As the court need to be used so we went out to have some talked about today match while waiting for the bus...
We went back to school and have a debrief...Teachers talked for quite some time than throw the conversation to me and Liping to continue...We have a very long time discussing it...
Last we have a hugging session and said a few words, we have a cheers and everyone were being dismissed...That time was 7 plus...

First half quarter, was a tough match for us and the score was very close...
Second half quarter, it was still a very difficult match to carry on and something very bad happened also...Not us as it was the opponent who create it...
I don't deny that they were good and was also our fault of falling into thier trap by minding what they said...Anyway, they were suppose to get technical foul and disqualify for the team but we does not tell the Referees anything about it since teacher say nothing at all than we will just have to leave this matter aside...Today we didn't played very well but it was good that we did not give up and continue to finish the game...

1) The floor was slippery...(By Jane)
2) We were too soft and not aggressive during the 1st half quarter...
3) We does not do warm-up properly and were too slack...

Yesterday there was match which are Chung Cheng High playing against Ngnn Ann and Anglican High playing against Bedok North...Chung Cheng High won around 30 points and Anglican High won Bedok North around 50 points...(If not wrong...)
Chung Cheng High was so strong which make us does not have confident in the coming match against them...Teachers said as long as they don't win us by 20 or 30 points, we should be able to play against with...We really have to defend well for it and don't allow them to score easily...

Nowadays, I found myself was not on form at all and was hating myself 'why can't I played well for it and what actually happened on me??'This question keep on coming in my mind...As now is the important time and players can't afford to do anything wrong and can't play well...I keep on blaming onto myself and can't stand anymore so my tears drop.....I am sorry to the girls that I can't played well today...Very sorry~

Today is the last match for 1st round; playing against Tampines at the same venue and playing at 2 p.m. and draw lots for 2nd round at 3.30 p.m.We won by the score of 14-49...During this match, I was being elbow at my chin by their number 15 and my leg was also hurt maybe because of my basketball shoe...
Even though we won Tanjong Katong Girls and they won Tampines...Doesn't mean that we will won them so we don't even over-confident it...
Before the match starts, Referees suddenly asked for a spot ckeck on finger nails so we went over to half of the basketball court and let them check...I was told to cut my nails shorten as it was a bit longer so I quickly ran towards teacher and let him know...He helped me to find out where the medicine kit is and took out nails cutter...I cut as fast as possible and the match was waiting for me; I apologise for not cutting my nails earlier even it was a bit longer...
For the first half quarter, we played not well as we seem to over-estimated...When till the 2nd half quarter than we manage to played well...
During this match, we also have the teamwork and everybody help to score...There was also some incident but do not wish to said about it...After all, we still won...So..think should be alright and just let bygones be bygones...
After the match, we went back for shooting training till 5 plus and was known for our 2nd round draw...We were in Group A with Chung Cheng High and Ngnn Ann...2nd round will be a tough competition against them...We really have to train hard for the coming training and play well against boys so we will roughly know how to played next coming match...Jiayou~!!=)

2007-07-04T22:11:00.000+08:00

Today is the second tournament which the venue is still the same at Anglican High playing against Tanjong Katong Girls at 4 p.m.We won at the score of 56-7...
I thought I will be alright by feeling not scare at all or what but I just don't know why when it was about time for us to get prepare and reach there...I will felt a bit scare...
Tanjong Katong Girls have the fighting spirit because even though they lost to us but they still fight till the end of the game...
First half quarter, we girls played not quite well as missed quite a number of baskets...Especially me, seem to be scare or nervous and missed quite a number of baskets...That time I really wonder what have happened to me and felt quite scare...
After that Mr Kek was there shouting for me; 'what are you scare of?'...At that time, I really don't know what to do and thought of not playing anymore...After Mr Kek have explained everything to me and told me to relax and played well need not be scare than I was like kind of relieved...
Next half quarter, we really all focus onto the court and played well for it...Even though we have already win them lots...I just don't know why I still felt a bit scare of it even the last quarter few mintues...
On this match, not just only me keep on scoring under baskets this time round as Inez and Linda also score lots of points in lay-ups....As also for others teammates who put in their efforts in this game...I was glad to see that we have the teamwork in co-operating with each others...
I was hoping next few matches we can also be like what we did during this match in the teamwork as everybody can takes turn to score and also in helping 'Pointguard' and 'Forward' not to be so tiring...
Girls..Next school we will be playing against Tampines on next Tuesday at 2 p.m.Not matter what, we have to try scoring as much as possible...We must also have the teamwork and fighting spirit in the game...Let's fight till the end.....Jiayou~!!^_^

I was quite looking forward to this match but when reach there I felt a bit scare...I felt scare because they have almost the same standard as Cedar Girls and Nanyang Girls...For the others, I have no ideas...Teachers told us to take this as friendly match and gain some exprience as we will be playing again with them when we get into Top 4...
They were truely strong and we have a hard time scoring and get points while they seem to keep scoring easily...Coach Lee said that he was pleased and teachers said is okie as they will amend our mistakes...

On our way, it was also drizzling...
We thanked Jiaxin's Father for helping us and also drive us there...

We put all the food with the ice as to keep it fresh...
Soon,everything were done properly...

[What we have done while waiting for the rest to come...]
We talked about how to punish the rest for coming late...
And we carried till our hands are so pain...and we intend to punish them...(but did not)
Later,me,Inez and Jiaxin went to the sea to play...and Zhenci had to take care of our stuffs...
Soon,one early bird came...that was Meiting...She was the earliest...

[While playing and talking...]
More and more came and soon the whole place filled with laughter...

Not long,we saw her...She was running...We called out to her...
But she did not response...then she just run past us...We were all puzzled...
Soon,she called me again to ask where are we...We saw her at the other side...
Then this time round...She saw us...We were all laughing...
She was real soaked...then Inez lent her a towel to clean herself up...

[While waiting for the rain to stop...]
We were chatting in the shelter praying for the rain to stop...

12/06/2007 basketball friendly matches...

2007-06-12T18:34:00.000+08:00

Today we went to CCAB for friendly matches...And the few schools joining us are Cedar Girls, Anderson and Nanyang Girls...Just because of the time limit, every matches we were just only be playing half quarter of it...

We start off playing with Cedar Girls...This school was quite strong and we were being defeated by them...The process for this match is tiring...They were fast and their defends was strong, we can't even catch up the score...As because of the time so we just only played for half quarter...Althought we did not played for full quarter but we girls were already very tired as it was a tough match...
[We have a break after playing with Cedar Girls...]

After watching Anderson with Nanyang Girls and Cedar Girls with Nanyang Girls...Its our turn to play with Anderson...
We played with Anderson before so we does not have much stress for it...Playing with them will still be tiring but was think we should quite enjoy in playing with them again...This round, Anderson won us 3 points...

We continue playing with Nanyang Girls...This team was even stronger than Cedar Girls as they are very fast at attackling and always score...We didn't have break after Anderson match, so we were very tired but at least we still can't score some of the points...This was a very tough match for us and all of the girls who played was very tired...We also lost to this school...

[Overall...]
Even though we lost to all the 3 schools...We will still be unhappy for it but we can take this few matches as an experience for us to be better...Listening to what Mr Kek have said, girls are even more being comfort as he said what have we played today was not bad is just that our stamina was not there...So we gonna work harder to strive for it...Coach Lee also said some words to us...

I feel that what I have played for the matches was not good at all but Mr Kek said that my standard was still there...I really believe that this year 'C' division girls can played to Top 4 or National Champion...As this batch of girls really not bad at all and we really gonna work hard and put in 100% efforts during training...I really hope that we can get in to Top 4 and also hope to reach Mr Kek goal...As long as girls can endure through whole process during trainings and tournaments...I think we should have no much difficulities in our aim and goal...
So girls.....We really have to work hard,train hard and endure every hardship we have together also encourage each others more...Lets look forwards to our goal...I believe we can do it!!!Jiayou,jiayou.jiayou!!!!!;-)

08/06/2007 basketball training...

2007-06-08T19:01:00.000+08:00

Today the weather was quite okie...When training was about to start,the Sun come out shining making our girls very hot...But till last the weather went much cooling and training was about to end,it started raining...

Today basketball training was quite tough...The hot Sun and with no water breaks for hours cause our girls to be tired after some skills of training...

[What we did during training...]

We do our warm up as usual...
We were told to do lay-ups,passing with lay-ups and shooting 2 points from 'Elbow' of the free throw there...
We proceed to 4 corner passing with lay-ups...
Than we were told to divide ourselves in 4 groups and each groups line out at the baseline corner and do dribbling to half court and pass to another teammate to do either lay-up or under-basket...
(We were quite tired at this section but we still continue...)
We were told to line up in 3 on the baseline and run full court passing with lay-ups...
(We thought that after this we can have water break but end up continue our training...)
After that,we carry on our training with 5 people standing at 2 points there and throw basketball till half court and let another teammate to receive it and do thier lay-up and they also have to go dribble back and lay-up than they got to throw the ball to another teammate...

After all this.....
We finally have our water break but were only given 3 mintues for that and we girls have finished all 3 bottles of drinks...

[We continue we our training...]

We were told to do 3 on 3 half court defend...For this me,Dawn and Jocelyn the attackers and Jiaxin,Jiayi and Zhenci the defenders were quite tired in desmostrating it...
We not just do only once or twice but with many times continued and after that thought we could have some rest than we were told to go to each side of the court baseline and takes turn...
(Anyway,it quite fun actually...Haha..)

There were some incident happened too...I accidentally cause Jane to fall down...Lucky that she is alright and sorry for that...Others I was not sure too but also know some teammates have also fall down and was hurt but after awhile all was alright...

Than proceed to 5 on 5 defends and attacks...Desmostraters were me('Centre'),Inez('PointGuard),Meiting('Forward'),Noralinda('Forward') and Jiayi('Centre') in 1 group and the others group were Jiaxin('Centre'),Zhenci('Centre'),Dawn('PointGuard'),Kenglin('Forward') and Jocelyn('Forward')...
Just only we the people were doing and the rest was watching us desmostrating...We were told to do lots of times attacking and defending...
This was just like the 3 on 3 defending...Just only that Coach add in 2 'Centre' in it to make 5 on 5...

After all this,Coach brief us some baseline throw in with using 'Centre' to score points...(Coach said that 'Centre' do not serve the balls...Let 'Forwards' to serve...)
Than we were told to do desmostrating again...(Is still the same 10 people just now doing 5 on 5...)
We have 3 methods in doing this...

Jiayi run in to under-basket and receive balls...
Jiayi come over to 'Screen' away Jiaxin so that I will be free to receive balls and score points...
I run over to the others side once Jiayi have 'Screen' away Jiaxin and Zhenci come over and defend me...Jiayi got to 'Screen' finish and block out Jiaxin to be able to be free and receive balls from Noralinda...(Who throw in..)

So we continue to do lots of times and.....
rain pours down...
After all this our training have stop...

[After all this training...]
We saw Mr Kek was outside 1/2 class there so we went over and know that we can have some drinks...
After drinks,Mr Kek desmostrate some passing skills and defending skills...He also told us when we are free to do some visual...
We can dismiss after Mr Kek session...

2007-06-06T19:18:00.000+08:00

Today training is tired when the start of the training and the ending part...In the middle of the training we also enjoy and have fun in it...

[Starting part of the training...]

We do our warm-up as usual before training starts...
We have water and toilet breaks...
We were told to run round the school 3 rounds with 2 sets and also with time limit...

This is where we have to endure through...

First round of running we were given 10 mintues to finish 3 rounds...Secondary 1 were given an extra 1 mintue and our Secondary 3 seniors can take their time to run...(Forgotten how long given...)Those people who fail have punishment to do...Which were 10 sit-ups,push-ups and 'ranger' jumps...

Second round we were ALL given an extra 1 more mintue to run...While Secondary 3 need not run the second sets...

[What we did during training...]

We were told to do 'rebounds','outlet pass' and 'fast break' with '1st and 2nd trailers'...
Coach teaches us 2 offend tactics with around 3 methods in it...

[Before cooling down...]

We were told to run full courts 4 times in 1 mintue with 3 sets of it...Luckily,all of us manage to pull through it...

[Cooling down...]

After the full court running...We proceed with cooling down by slow jogs 2 rounds the court and walk 1 round of the court...

Today time passes quite fast...Read above you all might find that we did just so few little things but actually with only these few things,we manage to learn alot in it...As long every basketball girls be able to put 100% effort during training and remember what have we learn every training...I believe that we can get to strive and achieve out goals towards either Top 4 or National Champion!!!=)

Yesterday's basketball training...(Part 2)

2007-05-30T10:05:00.000+08:00

As we have made our way down,we saw Coach Lee was already sitting on the bence...
He was asking us to get ready soon and start the training...We proceed to do our warm-up outside 1/2 class...
After our warm-up,we went toward to Coach and he started with the training...
While Meiting were told to dry up the basketball court...
After drying up,she join us for the training,her face look black and was known by because of her hand was pain and no strength...
The training was quite tired but it was quite fun too...For example,we have a competition which Coach divide us into two groups,which team win will get to rest first...
During training,some incident also occur and bad thing happen...

Meiting cried as she was being scolded by Miss Cheng as she make some mistake during training when practicing men on men...
When we will having 3 on 3,I accidentally hit Jiaxin eye...I felt very sorry to her...
Than I don't know what happen to Zhenci...She was like mad on me...

After our 3 on 3,I was told to lead them cool down as usual;run the court 2 round,sliding 1 round,from base line to half court 2 times and from base line to full court 2 times...
when we had finish our cool down,we thanks teacher and Coach than we are dismiss...As the drinks finish,I help out to refill bottles of drinks up to office...
On the way home,I message Jiaxin to tell her sorry and I did not do it purposely,hope that she is alright...
In the meanwhile,I wonder why Zhenci was angry with me so I message her and ask why...She said I was like giving her attitude when she talk to me...She also said she was being scolded by her junior...Than I was like wondering who was the junior??
She as the senior said don't want to care us anymore and told us to do whatever we like...Is not like we don't listen to her words...Is just that we need time to change our mistake and adapt the changes...Hope she will know...
