My mood's been pretty down for a couple of days now, i flare up at the slightest thing and can't seem to get my thoughts straight. Had dinner with Raymond and Gabriel just now, we are all on the same boat, our thoughts are similar too, having been back from Brisbane for only a few months, before graduation we have been advised of reverse culture shock and adapting back to life back home, initially i never thought much about it. Well, it's home, how will you need to adapt to home. But i was wrong, having been away for a period of time, things change, people change, oh heck, I changed. Things are different now, so much different to how i left them.

In light of the recent hoo-hah over Coach Liu Guodong's decline to renew the contract with STTA, we at the FTW FC were all pretty worried for Tianwei, not sure how the news will affect her. Before the news came out we saw her lose to Liu Shiwen, losing is not a big thing, but losing the 3rd set in a disheartened/below par performance 11-2, somehow it came across to us that something was bothering Tianwei, she didn't look her normal self, seemed to have given up, lost her fighting spirit. Couple days later, news broke about LGD's future. All the puzzle pieces fitted together, that must have dealt a huge blow to Tianwei, LGD was like a father figure to her, picking her up from obscurity and polishing her to be the world class player she is now at world ranking No. 7. We at the FC were all flustered, not sure what to do and how to react. Joan and i came up with things to say to her and Joan sent Tianwei an email, of encouragement from us and well wishes from her supporters back in Sg, really hoping that she doesn't get too affected or worse leave Singapore to follow LGD. Joan sent her a few other emails as well with other people's well wishes. Just when we thought that she might not have read it or maybe her place in China doesn't have internet (HAHA), TIANWEI REPLIED!!!!! *plugged from facebook page*

TIANWEI REPLIED THE EMAIL!:D Here is her message for us all:
大家好，好久没有来看我的邮件了，没想到一打开看到大家这么多的鼓励和支持令我很振奋，这一段确实有些事情影响着我的心情和发挥，没有让大家能够看到时刻保持活力的我，有点惭愧了，不过真的要感谢大家，感谢球迷会无时无刻的支持和关注，我相信经过我的努力会坚强的走下去，让朋友们能够看到球场上坚强的我，永不放弃的冯天薇，希望大家更多的支持，再次表示感谢。。。

My mood's gotten better all of a sudden.

Offline msgs left to me on msn made me tear, can't wait to see you guys again.
I miss:
- our endless chats
- our mindless banters
- our priceless videos
- our hilarious digs at one another
- our genuine care and concern for one another
- our coolie room days

well, in case some of you are wondering where i've disappeared to (again), was away for a few nights watching my juniors play in the POL-ITE games..in which they played really well and fought really hard!!..end results..GIRLS CHAMPION!!! and GUYS BRONZE!!! not a bad result at all..the girls really earned their GOLD..all thanks to good luck, team spirit, strong mentality and suprising results from other matches..SO PROUD OF THEM!!! i dun wanna sound old, but this actually marks my 6 yrs in TP..haha..i would be yr 6 if i'm still in TP now..how time flies man..haha..i feel so old around them man..and i'm only 21..hai..sadz..haha

really hope the team works hard at getting some good results and the coming IVP early next yr..really gotta train hard..it's hard to get the same level of committment all around the team but i feel that they have got what it takes to create a stunner at the coming IVP..this time round they have really good support from the school and the respective advisors that go down to the venue to support the team as well as having encouraging team talks..which we never had..we only had people interested in results and at one point even threatened to disband table tennis if we dun achieve any results in competitions..talk about demoralising the team man..

up next, busy work week ahead..working from thurs to sun of which i'm working full days both weekends..finally i get more time to work, i foresee myself aching all over again..and yes, swimming actively again..will try and swim more than once a week...i remembered when i was in Brisbane i swam as much as 4 times a week..shall see if i can achieve tt..gonna have a meeting with boss this week and talk to him about expanding Scoopz with Jean, Leng Sie and Huishan, hai..will see how it goes..this kinda marks the direction of my future too..in sight of recent "crisis" i really needa get a proper job soon, my documents for citizenship are almost intact now, so prolly gonna go down for the proper application sometime next week..
