Happy Birthday, SiJia

Maybe you're busy eating mooncakes or walking through the gardens holding a lantern, but while you're indulging in the heat of the Mid-Autumn Festival, here's something you probably didn't notice...

It's SiJia's birthday today, and it's her 21st at that! Happy Birthday Sijia~

Please forgive my overuse of sparkles, I was having too much fun. In apology, here's another shot of the dazzling birthday girl. :)


Just to mention, our dearest YiZhen has also turned 21 this year. Although it is regretful to say that The Blaze Lounge did not manage to witness her step into adulthood. But it's all right, your turn is coming soon again, YiZhen!! I'll give you a bigger post the coming April. XD

Oh yes, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, folks.

Netball Superstar

This is belated news, but better late than never, yeah?

Warmest congratulations to our very own Chen HuiFen for clinching the MVP title at the recent 5 Nations Netball Cup which was held in Singapore. You know, the one where Singapore won? I guess that doesn't really help, but you know which one I'm talking about, right?

Not a very recent picture, since I don't have any of HuiFen's recent photos in my possession, but she's always been looking great so I suppose it doesn't make a very big difference right? :D

HuiFen~!!! 我们永远支持你!
And of course, let's also not forget our other brilliant players who are also putting in their best to bring pride to our country (and of course to BLAZE), Vanessa, HuiYan, QingYi, and LiLing. Congratulations to the five of them for making into the World Netball Championship 2007 team. All the best! While not many of us can make it to New Zealand to witness the event, we'll definitely be rooting for you girls back here in sunny Singapore. :)

The championships will be commencing this November in New Zealand.

Coaches' Day :)

It's halfway through September already here's the first update for this month. After a one-month long break, Blaze is finally back in action and on the courts. Training was light and fun-filled last night, mainly focusing on toning up our abdominal muscles, and it ended with yet another abdominal exercise... cake eating.

A small celebration for our beloved coaches was in store at the end of training. Not known to a majority of us, it was Coaches' Day yesterday. Presenting, the four great beauties of Blaze: RongZhen, JingQing, Imelda and Julynn.

Videoclips are available for download HERE, though there's nothing much to see unless you like watching Adeline or Imelda doing some serious abdominal exercises. The video shown above can be downloaded from the video hosting site HERE

And while we're still on the topic of our coaches, here's an article featuring our dearest Coach JingQing, who is also one of the top umpires in Singapore, published in the September 2007 issue of the Netball newsletter. Do check it out if you haven't seen it before :)


Until next time!
