Injuries are bound to happen eventually in sports. Especially martial art sports. I know that well. There were times when i got injured and sometimes accidentally hurt someone else. And i know that in judo, it may be mostly/partially your fault but its never entirely your fault not entirely not your fault.
Whenever i got injured during judo i won't blame the other party. Because i know its unintentional and so far my injuries are not that serious and they recover relatively okay. (Don't really want to mention it because it felt like i am jinxing it but i hope its not.) When i was a newbie in judo i did kinda cause my training partners to get sprains. I do feel bad but after awhile i goes away. I mean when you accidentally injured someone, more or less you'll feel bad about it right?
But i guess like what many said, i am just used to this fact already.
I was training with one of my senior, we were sparring. I dropped one new and roll but i rolled over her hand. I think her hand was in an awkward position and then i heard a 'kiak'. A small 'kiak'. And then the next thing i knew was that she was holding on to her hand and her face is just: pain.
Was legit worried and felt bad because idk if she sprained or fractured anything. I just stood there and look at her while my other seniors went forward to check on her. She just lied down there. I seriously have no idea what to do but went to get ice because my senior told me too. Then later idk i just felt awkward with her :/
Then later my seniors were nice to comfort me to ask if i am okay and like ask me to not feel so bad about it because it happens. It's nice of them but i just couldn't get over it at that point of time. i was ranting to a lot of people because i guess when i say things out repeatedly i feel better faster (fak, i am going to be a super naggy mum).
Wanted to text her and apologise to her. I mean i sould do it but it felt awkward and i was also worried that it can make things awkward between us. Because you know, some people are just ... when you apologise then they just dont really accept it ...? Yeah. I also don't really know her personally so can't really say much about her or to judge her. So i just decided to ask her and apologise the next time i see her in training. Hopefully it wont make things awkward between us. (And yes this is the overthinking part i guess lol.)
In the end i texted jason (another senior) to ask about her. He said her hand is strained and it's not really very serious so she should be fine. But her grip won't be as strong. I just hoped that it won't affect her much because currently she is on intern. And she was last year's champion for my weight category.
Then later jason was telling about how he's not going to push himself too much because of a legit serious injury last year. He saying pushing yourself over the limit will sometimes result in your getting injury. Which is not wrong. But i mean even if you are working hard and pushing yourself, safety first.
Anyways that's all for this post, just want to give it a last rant.
Ciaos.

(okay this was suppose to be posted last year but yes i got lazy and so now i am uploading it HAHAHA. Read Kiaheng's blogpost about taiwan and i was like "oops!".)
So, hi guys! Sorry for leaving this space of mine a bit dead haha.
So, hi guys! Sorry for leaving this space of mine a bit dead haha.
Wanted to blog about my malaysia trip but couldn't upload the photos from my phone, using the blogger app so yeah. Nowadays i don't even transfer my photos to my laptop before blogging HAHA, like its kind of mafan (troublesome) so i just upload them into a draft post then edit the post using my lappy heh.
So from 11th to 13th of december i went to Cheras in Malaysia for a "mini" / "fun" tournament. LOL. Well i just thought that it would be competition like jagopen? Not very serious but when we reach there all of us was like: wtf.
HAHA most of them are like damn big size and black belt. Like seriously and everyone is like prepping and warming up like you know, they are here to fight for first. I mean yeah in comps usually people aim for the top but i think for our club we are actually quite nua hahaha. Anws i think this competition is quite new (3rd year they having it i think?).
But in the end the comps went well, everything was fine and some of us did great like the opponent might have more experience and may be of a higher belt but some of us manage to beat them. Yay \( ^^ )/
And so here are some of the photos taken during/after the competition:
Here's my tag hehe. Yeah got japan's flag but cassie was saying that she believe that the only japanese here are Konomi and Kazuma (also from jagsport) hahaha highly likely. So for the trip, i roomed with ruilin!
On the day when we reached, due to some accident along the highway (not us lol touch wood), we reached later than expected. And we had to weigh in at like 2am ++ LOL. Me and ruilin were kinda worried that we're overweight hahaa. Like i had to shit but i can't wtf. In the end i was safe but ruilin was overweight. However, the management were nice luh so they just let it go lor even if you are kinda overweight.
And so here are some of the photos taken during/after the competition:
So i got 3rd haha. The 2nd and 4th in place are also from the same club and they just started this year (2015). I lost my 2nd place because my hand slide and touched her thigh so it was a disqualification haha. It was a stupid mistake. Anws, for our weight category (U48kg), there are only the four of us, so we had to fight each other.
Since our bouts are so close so the four of us just keep talking to each other LOL. Then we decided to take some photos. The winner (i forgot to ask for her name LOL) was actually really nice, like she would watch and tell you what are some of the mistakes others made like what should others do. Personally, learnt a lot from her haha hope to see her again at other competition if i have the chance to.
Honestly, this entire trip i just want to find back my motivation o train like seriously. To fight and do better. Because training has changed since i'm no longer under Sir in school but i still prefer and miss Sir's training haha.
So after the competition, Sir brought us to this mall (which i forgot the name of it lol seriously) and i had Kenny Rogers! Seriously it's damn gooooooooooooooooood! How i wish in Sg it's as cheap as there LOL. It's my first time trying it though haha.
After dinner, we went back to the hotel to nua and rest. I seriously didn't know my face was like this until after awhile after my last bout. Felt a tingling sensation so i asked my friend about my face hahaha. Oh well it happens. Thank god it's not that bad. And yes i put an aloe mask that night, i deserve to be pampered muahahahaha.
The next day was our last day.
Honestly speaking this trip is damn short! How i wish it was longer? Like maybe about 4 or 5 days? Cause we didn't get to go much places and neither did we get to eat much good food. Overall, it was a good getaway from home. Sigh, sianz next time i aim for the shopping #determined.
On the last day we went to malacca for lunch. Had chicken rice balls as you can see haha but it's really good. Malaysia food are nice and cheap and like i said how i wish we could have stayed there longer haha.
But after the 2nd night, my cold kicked in and was feeling legit horrible on the bus. Why leh? Firstly i legit have serious motion sickness. Secondly, the air con on the bus was madness. Thirdly, we keep getting caught in the rain and having the board the bus immediately. Catching a cold is common to me but yeah lol. Took panadol which is like my saviour, need to carry it everywhere i go lol.
So that's all for my short trip to malaysia and come to think about it erm ... i haven even blog about my japan trip completely yet .... oops. Haha will sort out my photos asap. Ciaos~

So for the past 3 days, I had judo camp in school haha. Making full use of my hall stay during the holidays hehe. Lydia and Jialing stayed in my room throughout camp because they don't stay in hall luh lol.
Honestly speaking, its a training camp more than a bonding camp but still, its fun! I did manage to bond with my judo mates and also get to know some of them better.
So for the three days, the first day was the most tiring. Haha omg i think i have never had 3 sessions of training in a row in one day. For the second day, we were suppose to have erm physical training but I guess the weather is on *ahem* our side haha, so it wasn't that bad. We had 2 sessions of training for the second day. As for the last day, we played games, had light training, cleaned the mats and done!
Got some minor injuries but omg i guess its fine? Haha going for tui na tmr. And it's really fast, tmr is the last day of 2015. Enjoy and ciaos :)

So last saturday evening, since i am not meeting the boyf, i went for judo instead. Seriously, while i'm still having exams LOL. I seriously miss those times i have spent at budo, training and just being high and nonsensical with the people there. I used to be quite involve but yeah, i had work, my back injury which takes super long to recover (much better now really) and yes boyf haha. I mean i do have to work out my schedule also.
Ever since school started, i had to stay at hall which is rather far from budo (psh, please qijie or those students from SP also travelled down for trainings #excuses). I really enjoy judo training, gad that i manage to persuade my mum to let me join it when i was in NYJC. #oneofmybestdecisionsever
It was nice to be back there, although it has been awhile and it's kinda awkward with most of them. Sir is nice to me as usual haha yeap. And thanks for welcoming me back and tell me that you're happy that i am continuing judo.
My back injury was quite bad? So it's either i train continuously or i stop for awhile which i chose to latter. Because i had other commitments also, yeah :/ and i didn't wanted to take the risk too. Anws sat's training he didn't give chance at all siah LOL i did the most squats i ever did in my life. Thankfully i have been running recently to maintain my stamina (which is damn lousy zzzz how am i suppose to last for 4mins or more wtf). So i think .. i survived it pretty well hehe.
Decided to get a new gi from sir too and it's kinda expensive but yeah thats what you get for a decent judo gi that can be used for comps. Now i got two white ones ... and i guess i will be needing a blue one soon because nowadays they use blue and white gi to differentiate the players, easier to give the scores.
So yeap, thats my post for today. Can't wait to get back to training once exams are over urgh! Ciaos ~

Yeah man part 1 siol. Maybe there weren't as much things as i thought to blog about LOL. But still i just wanna share all of these good and bad times on my blog haha. Yes blog i'm back sorry for neglecting you. Please blame everything on studies .... okay kidding i also lazy la LOL.
Anws this is a scheduled post 😂 .. right now at this timing i am probably having lunch break haha.
Anws this is a scheduled post 😂 .. right now at this timing i am probably having lunch break haha.
So i'll be blogging about:
March - blocks and Vietnam Trip.
April - A divs
And duh large portion of this post will be about my vietnam trip and a divs, there isn't much to talk about exams anws haha.
Here's my schedule.
Well you see, my coach's judo club was organising an overseas judo trip with St. Gabriel's. And so, me, karshing and sean decided to yolo and join them despite in the midst of blocks.
okay blocks is just uhm the first major school exam of the year, yeah. Xiuming and cassie went too haha.
Say hi to organic chem and that's just half of the mindmap.
It's all about the connection between each chapters lol.
Hahahaha omg i can still remember that day.
So on our day of flight to Vietnam, we had both GP papers and also our H1 papers.
And i remembered that the night before i just told myself to study until like 2am (LOL seriously), go for exams and then sleep during my flight to vietnam HAHA. Whoa but seriously man, to those who are taking exams, please have at least 6 hours of proper sleep LOL no joke. Don't try.
Xiuming took the flight with sir (our coach lol), cassie, patrick and the St Gab's peeps whileme, karshing and sean took a later flight there. And there's Ruilin being so sweet for sending us off at the airport! My family did too la haha. Its my first time going there but not really for shing and sean. And duh, its my first overseas judo trip but we did mostly shopping there haha.
oh and it's my first time taking budget airline LOL.
And here's our bed.
okay la the hotel is not that bad. Apparently the three of us reached the hotel earlier than the rest so they just gave us a room first to put our luggage. Rather than having us waiting at the lounge lol. Then when we decided to go out and grab some dinner, they arrived LOL.
hungry shing #capturealltheunglammoments heh.
Okay and next thing is ..
i can't really remember to sequence so uh forget about it LOL.
I'll just blog whatever that comes to my mind then HAHA sorry!
😛
Patrick says hi ~
Group shot! while watching a judo match.
And there's jade - the one who took the photo and me popping out cause i short and not sure if i am being blocked LOL. Pardon my fringe and i decided to give up on arranging it and let it parts in whatever way it wants too HAHA.
Jerome, no idea what was he doing though haha.
Have not seen him for ages haha. Second shot was taken by karshing/shing haha.
Then we went to this place which idk whats the name LOL.
Went to look around at the scenery and then had tons of food. The weather that was .. hot.
LIKE ON FIRE BLAZING HOT LOL.
Not joking at all! all of us are sweating damn badly haha and just wanna sit down and chill under the shade. Everyone had like many rounds of sugar cane and beer .. for some of us heh.
Then we all book a long ride down the mekong river (i think la idk la omg save me LOL my memory is failing #muchexaggeration). We got to experience the floating market and then the visited a few interesting places along the way and got to eat lots of yummy food keke.
who doesn't love good food?
😍😍😍
and here's us after physcial training! Most of us slept from like less than 4 hours haha
Eh the we did went for training la only one day though LOL. The rest was just relax, sight-seeing and tons of shopping!!! #buyallthecheaploots. But its nice that i manage to get closer to most of them throughout this entire trip.
sean,shing and i tried to study during this trip but obviously we failed terribly in sticking to that haha. okay la they did more than me but oh well we decide to enjoy instead.
Oh and i remembered one of the night me, shing, sean, cassie, xiuming and patrick we just partied in our room LOL. We had a huge pizza party and then next we eh drank a few rounds
😜😜😜
controlled drinking okay guys! No casualties and we didnt do anything illegal LOL.
some random selfies! With shing and antonio~
Well it was just like a 4 days trip i think? But i had lots of fun! And yes i was the one who shopped the most there and prolly spent the most. People got scared by how much i can shop LOL. Sorry if i dragged you around hahahha oops. And i remembered that opposite where we were staying there was this shop that sold really nice clothes for both guys and girls.
✨ And yes, we raid that place. Under my command. ✨
We went there almost everyday to check out for a new *ahem* goods LOL. Its really affordable and worth the it luh, I did my math okay! #cheapskate haha. And i think the people there loveeeeee us cause we spent loads there.
and yeap that summarise my vietnam trip haha.
Ps for not having much photos of it cause i was lazy luh hur.
oh and i kinda injured myself during the trip while on the mats.
So had a super huge bruise over my left knee? but its okay already haha nothing serious~
so after being back from vietnam.
Blocks resume, school training resume everything resume.
studying in the library with the judo babes and because jackets are too mainstream,
ruilin wore my gi to fight the cold in the library instead hahaha.
But i guess my mind just focus more on training throughout this period because A-division was around the corner. First week of april? Yeah. I took part in the under 52kg category for individuals haha was busy gaining weight while people are trying to lose weight.
😂
Oh, and here are my grades for blocks. #nothingtobeproudof HAHAHA
That was my first and last A-division :)
I trained almost/practically everyday and i had fun everyday of course.
Judo is what i am currently enjoying now hehe. Although i got loads of injuries this year but still i miss this period of the year most i guess? Cause everyone was working hard, doing their best and improving a lot! The support and encouragement for each other was awesome too.
group shot with CJC's judo girls!
Taken during team event match for bronze.
RI and HCI fought for for champion and i think HCI won? Correct me if i'm wrong, sorry!
The results are okay la not that bad haha.
Got lots of bronze LOL. So both NYJC team event we got bronze. Then for individual there weere bronzes too and Ambrose got silver. I lost my bronze match haha that day so emotion omg #sopaiseh then happy for St Gab's boys cause they won overall champion yeah! Good job!
So after the competition, some time later we had a mini celebration haha.
Sir catered food for us (thank you!!!) and also we had a mini photoshoot session. That day was just another fun day i had.
The judo babes!
The judo babes ft. Mr Ong LOL
there's sir and us sitting down haha.
Well we decided to give something to sir to say thank you.
Because he really did gave us a lot of support during training and outside of it. He's really still very nice to use put it a lot of effort in training us! I mean most of us in NYJC went to A divs with only one year plus of training, so its an achievement yeah!
And he also bought rash guard for those competing!
So the exco's discuss (i joined them only this year) that we should make a note book. Xiaoying decorated it haha. And then all of us wrote short notes to sir and pasted them in it. Each page also has some of sir's quotes LOL. He always says a few things that we often *ahem* mimic haha.
of course we didn't forget joanna! Who is another awesome coach. We didn't neglect her laaaa! Just that her present is being delayed haha we manage to give it to her during judo camp which i think its during june holidays LOL.
So, i guess that's all for now!
Look forward to the next #throwback post okay?
😂
Ciaos~
