Hello, Welcome to Team Canberra Netball's blog.
We're are from Cdiv`2007 & Bdiv`2008.
Netball = Passion = Love.
And for us, we love Netball more than anything else.
We aim to get top 4 in zonals every year, and to take part in the Nationals is our dream as a whole team.
Even though we do complain about our harsh trainings under the sun, we do take every single training session very seriously because
during friendly matches, we want to play the match "cleanly" and win the match.
as we want to make our Coach, our teacher i/c and our school proud of us.
We are a very bonded team & we do every single thing together. We love each other but we love Netball the most because:
Netball is our sizzling hot passion!
In Netball, it's a team game and moody-ness is our weakness. Why? Because when one of us is down, we're down as a team too.
Which T.E.A.M means Together Everyone Achieves More.

Through a week and two days, I'm able to swing using my crutches already! I like going around without my braces because that are soooo heavyyyyyyyyyy (but I walked (swinged) a bit too much and my knee gave a roaring crack sound). And I went back to wearing the braces ;p
Thank you my dear girls who came to the hospital last week and saw me in my worst state ever ;p
I hope to be back in Kallang and playing netball with you girls, just like last week. Am pretty sure a year will pass by faster than we'd know! :) Thank you girls for your well wishes everyday, every single day I get messages from you girls about my well being, about my recovery, etc (i even had coach giving me a surprise visit when i haven't even brushed my teeth, omg can you imagine) and I cannot thank you more than enough for this <3 TCN'07 I LOVE YOU GIRLS SO MUCH MORE THAN WORDS CAN EVER SAY. <3 <3 <3
To the juniors who are currently training, remember to always love what you do. In this case, LOVE YOUR TRAINING. Put your heart and soul to whatever you're doing and do your best. Every time you feel like giving up, ask yourself, "Is this the best you can do?"

I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE FIGHTING DRAGONS WITH YOU
the title can't be seen so i shall manually type it out ;p
If you happened to pass by this (godforsaken) blog, this is my two cents point of view. You can choose to read it, or skip it.
I miss Netball. I miss playing competitive Netball.
I miss Team Canberra Netball. I miss TCN'07.
I just had this sudden urge to blog here. I don't know why too. Perhaps it's because I'm having my op in less than a month's time. In a month's time today, I'd probably be walking around with my knee brace and my trusty crutches. Okay, this op thing might not be a big deal because this injury is common in athletes. Netball players to be precise. But this op, means the world to me. Because I want to be back on court. No matter how many more years it'd take me. I want to be back on court.
Let's go back to where we first started. The eleven of us, with Miss April Lee and Mr Awyong as our teachers-in-charge. None of us had foundations, and none of us could throw a ball properly. But we did it. WE DID IT.
Impossible wasn't a word found in our dictionary.
Training weren't easy. Remember out of the school training, we had to go to ajc during the weekends just to train together with them? For a year our saturdays were burnt. Then there came Nee Soon East Netball League, we lost all our games (with the excuse of us being the youngest team against the a divs and the old people), and we were punished like nobody's business?
Looking back, it was all silly right... We could probably laugh at the times we were so tired. We often got punished to run to the furthest lamp post at Yishun's court we played for nee soon east.
Combined training with Nanhua and Greenview.......................We weren't as good as them. We wanted Coach's attention but we didn't get as much as they did. We got so demoralized. Haha. I really didn't know why we were so jealous.
24 hour street netball, Netballuxion. YES WE LOST ALL OUR MATCHES AGAIN HAHA. How many matches have we lost? ;p
don't ask me why I remember so many incidents, they're just coming back to me free flow...
Our first zonals, group champs for round one and remember for round two... our match against Anderson where WE WENT TO THE WRONG VENUE? Haha. Instead of northland sec we went to Sports school? And we ended up losing our first match in round 2? Every one went back crying? And we swore to play even better? Even though we were going to be up against st joseph's convent?
And for that match. Was heart breaking jaw dropping BUT it was worth it. I shall not elaborate more. But we all understood the feeling by winning a game by a tight margin. (that's why juniors, every point counts.) WE WON THEM BY 4. The feeling was amazing............. :') :')
Then zonals came in the next year. Group champs again for round one.............. Round two: We lost to st. nicks, that's okay because it's expected. And remember our lousy game against Riverside? Where we played like we weren't Netball players? The game that got us out of the season? Haha..
Then remember going for u17 trials together as a whole team! Great exposure........... :) :) :)
PERTH TRIP. I SHAN'T ELABORATE BECAUSE I'M GETTING TIRED. I BET ALL OF YOU REMEMBER THIS THE MOST RIGHT. HEHEHEHE. How hard we fought for this trip, and how much effort put in. We all know :')
The final season. I didn't play. It wasn't an easy season for me. BUT you girls never made me feel "less-loved" in any way. WE WON ALL MATCHES EXCEPT SPORTS SCHOOL, HAHA. *pssst, top 2, psst* The games were so nerve wrecking....but had a joyous ending to it. So glad we proved ourselves. To the school and mostly ourselves :) :) :)
All of you made me love this sport more than words can say. Thank you for this memorable journey. It had many ups and downs but am glad we overcame them all. It ended on a sour note for me but guess it's going to only get better. :)
"Even when you've played the game of your life, it's the feeling of teamwork that you'll remember. You'll forget the plays, the shots, and the scores, but you'll never forget your teammates."
And this is for the juniors who have managed to read this this far:
Don't EVER give up! It's never going to be easy but it's going to be worth it, I promise. Play your best and leave the court with no regrets. It's not about winning or losing the game. It's about playing your best. You step on court, and for that 60 mins, you give your all. Whatever the outcome, it shouldn't matter anymore.
Apryl xx tell them how the crowds went wild tell them how i hope they'll shine long live the walls we crashed though how the kingom lights shined for me and you

In times of despair, think of your teammates and not yourself. It's your willpower that will bring you further. Start thinking that you can do it and you will do it. If you don't start thinking, you will never put your thoughts into actions.

Hey gals!! Our blog is dead!! HAHA! Now I am here to update the blog:)) Frankly speaking, today's game wasn't that good!! Yes, we won but this is not the results what coach wants!! From what I see, some of you are not really warm up yet!! I'm sure you know who you are! Gals!! Our goal is Top 2!! This is what we want and what coach and Mr Bok hopes, right?? During the pass few games we had played, I think that the game we played with Yishun is the best game!! Is not because we won them with the result of 52-4, however is because we satisfied what coach expected from us. This is a good game and we won! So gals, we have to work really hard to get into Top 2! The game I watched NV(North Vista) vs SJC(St Joseph Convent), NV is a very strong team. I believe we can win the match if we fight with NV. [Pardon me for my english;)] [Sorry for the blur pics and there's a few more pics with Ms Lee.]
View the pics and vids below: (WARNING!! When watching the vid, plaese lower the volume as coach was sitting beside me when I was video-ing.So her voice was very loud,and also listen carefully what she said.)

T.E.A.M
tell you what , I miss the old Netball Team . like seriously , old / previous / willingly-to-work-hard-together 的 TEAM CANBERRA. with everyone , current secondary 3 students .
I miss the pace we had , playing Netball ; I miss the kind of things , we would do together ; I miss the thinking everyone had , together .
In this B'div' 09 , I couldn't really see the YOU-WANT-IT in us , everybody . because I always believe that if you want it , and if we work hard towards it , we will be able to achieve it - top 2
yet , in extremes' carnival , I think everyone failed . comparing to last year , we didn't move at all . we are still plate's champion. but , deep in our hearts , we know that we can do better than that .
I feel that it's time for everyone of us , to totally wake up . - For those sec3s , you know that it's going to be the last year , we are going to play together as a team . I will definitely give my best shot , I will not let myself have any regrets . - For the sec2s , I can tell you , if you are not intending to give your best this time , you will not be given another chance to play with us , again . & this means , chance gone for good , no lessons learned.
what I want you all to think about is , whether you want it or not ? It's going to be the last time , there's not going to be a second time . To fail or to pass , it's all up within ( your mind ) .
with loves , peiling c.
