IVP fixtures
I forgot to mention. Our 1st match of IVP starts on the 7th Jan 2010. Other dates should be 12th, 25th, and 4th Feb. So try not to schedule any trips or whatsoever during the whole period. Anyway, after coming back from Msia, we should be mentally focused on starting the IVP season and cut out any other distractions.

There wont be any training this Wednesday as most of you will still have papers. That leaves us with one session this week on Friday same time 7pm. Attire: BLUE
Regarding jersey updates, we will be purchasing a set of jerseys again. SRC will be able to subsidize our spending. If we are to purchase just the top, we will be subsidized estimated up to $15. If we are to get a full set 1 top, 1 shorts, 1 pair of socks, estimated subsidy would be up to $30 i think. We will still be using the white one as one of our colours for the tournament. Please give your responses in the comments section, which includes helping to suggest the brand we want.

From now till the end of exams, trainings will be held only every Friday. But there is no training this Friday. Attire: BLUE
Also, Mr Chiang has mentioned that it would be good for us to go for long distance runs (10km) on Mondays or Tuesdays. We can do it as a team, or in your own groups. Just drag along a buddy to run with you if you dont like to run on your own. But the responsibility lies on yourself to maintain your fitness level. Be honest with yourself if you wanna do well for the competition.
Regarding the trip, We will most probably not go to Ipoh as certain conditions are not ideal for us to travel there. Instead, the outdoor activities can be done somewhere in KL instead, similar to what we expect in Ipoh. Trip duration will still remain the same. However, it may be possible to cut down the trip to 5 days duration ie. no outdoor activity. But do note that we will still be playing 4 matches during the trip, so 4 matches in 5 days might be too taxing for us. Note that everything remains the same unless there is an overwhelming response.
All the best for exams!

Soccer means so much to me.
Hey Guys,
Allow me to confer something which I’ve felt since the end of SUniG till date. As we turn our focus onto studies and the upcoming exams, there is no doubt that it should preside as our utmost priority, and the same goes for me concurrently. However, I think it’s also high time we, as a team set ourselves a goal for IVP this academic year. I genuinely believe most of us want NTU to achieve at least a semi-final placing. However, actions are not put in place to justify our thoughts.
Those who have consistently been coming for training have been the same few, some of us have minor injuries picked up over the course of the previous tournament, some of us preside work over soccer for the past weeks.
Yet, while it’s appropriate to take some time off, don’t you think that we, as players, hold a certain amount of responsibility towards the well-being of the team? Don’t you think that us, even though we are students first and soccer players second should at least contribute some time off our hectic schedule to maintain the welfare and status of the NTU soccer team? I understand opinions and priorities are relative to the individual, and I understand the situation defers from individual to individual.
I just feel for this team, that it deserves better from all of us, that it’s time we get together to determine the aim of IVP. No point if half the team is committed to the cause of doing well, and the other half not sharing similar sentiments. After all, we all love soccer for the fact that we rejoice when we win, and feel a pang of emptiness when we lose.
I hope as the future sweeps as by, we can come together as a team again. Hopefully, from Wednesday onwards. Thank You very much for your time. All the best for your exams!

Just to add, nobody's place is guaranteed for IVP. If your thinking, i will be back after the exams and fight for my place then, let me warn you that it may be too late. You would have only yourselves to blame if your lack of fitness, loss of your touches which you will for sure lose w/o regular training and your lack of commitment results in you losing your place for IVP.
For those who have been missing in action or completely vanished into thin air, pls at least have the courtesy to inform aaron or me of your availabilty for trgs and etc. It takes less than a minute to post on the blog or send a sms. This is directed especially to the players in the SUNIG squad.

Updates for the Week
Training on monday and wednesday
7pm
Attire: Blue and Red respectively
For monday's session, those who have NOT taken the bleep test are required to bring shoes for the test. Upon completion of the test, the players will join for trg.
Training attendance have been rather crappy of late. I hope most of us can turn up for the last few training sessions before we go for the exam break. If school work are really piling up, at the very least try to attend one of the trg session and do another workout at your own time.
