Quotes for everybody

Hey guys!
ITS OCTOBER! A WHOLE NEW MONTH!!
Its me again weijie(: Im here to kick start a new month with a post

I have no idea what im going to talk about and so I am going to talk about a book i read recently with some quotes that i find them meaningful in your daily life and you might even use it as your motivation to play tennis better!

Here goes the first one, " No pain, no gain". Its a simple quote that almost all of you out there has heard of it before. The message is clear, if you do not work hard for what you desire, you will most likely not be able to achieve your goals. In tennis, you might think as chasing for every ball and not giving up. There is hope of winning a point when the ball is being played back. It would be tiring, but you would gain by winning the point or eventually the game. So remember this when you are about to give up on something.


"Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration". Roger Federer is no Genius in tennis without the training he has been through. Again, working hard is the key to success. So guys, attend training to improve yourself to become the best and perspire away!! :D


The last quote is " A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing". I think this is the most important quote among these 3. Don't be afraid to make mistakes during training as u would become a better player while making them. You would be able to learn more rather than sticking to just one way which might not be the best. Learning through mistakes to me is the best way to remember them.

That's all for this week! Let me know how you think about this post!
Hope you like it(:

Interclub Tennis Doubles 2010

Hey guys! the list is out and please remember the days and place where your team is playing. Please check for your name to confirm if you are team 1 or team 2. I would recommend you guys to give your contact information to your captain for convenience. If there is any questions, you can post them on the comment section or the tag. ALL THE BEST! :D

Ngee Ann Polytechnic 1

Ngee Ann Polytechnic II

Group 1 (for team 2)

Group 2 (for team 1)

FYI - The number which is infront is the one which is hosting. eg. for group 2, 3 vs 4 which means we would need to travel to place 3 to play and if its 4 vs 1, we would be playing in school

Club T is READY!

OK, We have just received the club T-shirts, so we should be distributing it to you guys this couple of weeks.

Anyway just some information from our supplier:
When washing the shirt, DO NOT scrub it (So I guess just put it in the washing machine...)
And also turn it inside out before you wash it or put it in the washing machine. I think because the printings will come out if you scratch it too much.

One last BIG reminder... If you have not paid for your shirt, please do so NEXT WEEK.
No money No shirt.

I am sure those that had read the post by TK a few weeks ago would know that we are having gonna have a tennis camp in DECEMBER!
awesome or what?

yes, the camp planning is still in progress, so book those days off your calendar and reserve them for the camp alright? :D
let me leak you into a little more on our camp...

do you know that the tennis club hadn't had a camp in like dunno how many freaking years?!
so it's like, finally someone is organising a camp!
so, appreciate our kind efforts and do come down for the camp alright?

it took us a lot of time and effort to plan for the camp...
OKAY. ENOUGH CRAP. NOW FOR THE DETAILS!


other than a barbeque, which we are still planning in progress and thinking of back up plans in case it rains! (so dear god, please don't let it rain on the first day please... or else!)
and what else?
hmmmm, there would be games played (definitely) and hopefully you would enjoy the games that we have planned.
and no, don't think that movie watching is BORING. cuz i am assuring you, it's not. and nopes, it is not to kill time either. it is gonna be exciting...
and what else is awesome about this camp? we would be trying to book the camp in the loft, so that you all would get great accommodations! (in case you don't know what is the loft, GOOGLE IT... nahs. im kidding. im telling YOU! the loft is a place that you get to stay in school and it is something like an apartment all to yourself! (okay, maybe not. you may be sleeping with your friends! equally awesome right?) but nopes, guys and girls are NOT allowed to be sleeping together, in case you're thinking you can sleep with some hot people or something, yeah sure. just make sure they are the same sex with you.)

it's a short camp, really short. 3 days 2 nights only. it's just 3 days of fun and games.


okay. i think i've filled you with enough details, at least enough for you to want to come down for the camp right?
rest assured, you are guaranteed to have fun! :D


alright, enough for now. enjoy your holidays! (they are OFFICIALLY here!)

HEYHEYHEY PEOPLE! It's me again! (Jiexin)
HAHA. I know I know, you guys are waiting for my post right?
Rest assure, this post won't be as short as my previous one,
and of course, not as long as Mr Joshua's (:

Let's see, what should we talk about this week?
Hmm.
Hmmm.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmmm.
HMMMMMM.

Okay, shall tell you guys an enriching/meaningful line:
In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.
-Anthony J. D'Angelo

Sounds quite normal right, but it's quite true.
Let me share with you my very precious little experience (Please don't fall asleep!)
I was learning how to serve the right way during yesterday's training.
Honestly speaking, I failed like 38247984789475 times,
until I'm even quite frustrated by myself ):
Although I've not succeeded serving nice balls over the net,
but I got to know my mistakes and ...
I believe one day, I will do it, BECAUSE I'VE FAILED SO MANY TIMES!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! (Okay, i know not funny).

So people, it's okay to fail (but not too many times),
because you'll eventually succeed! (:
Don't give up on learning tennis, come for training,
fail once or twice, and soon enough, you'll find out that you're learning lots of things!

Not bad not bad, I think my post not bad, don't you guys think so?
Okay okay, I can hear claps and cheers everywhere now, don't praise me too much,
I'm a shy person (everyone 'knows' that).

Finally, I shall end my awesome post with a JOKE (:
'When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, I'm very sorry. We did everything we could. But he pulled through.' - Rodney Dangerfield
