At the time, but, Ng had also effectively balloted for a new Build-To-Order cover even.
” When I wanted to go ( previously ), the finances were okay. But after I had to walk home, finances were a little tighter and my pocketbook depleted,” he said.
Ng’s girlfriend and those in his air power unit also showed him encouragement, which was encouraging.
” Everyone told me:’ Just go for it, do n’t look back’,” he recalled. That “almost assured me” and made me feel secure about my decision.
They all expressed their pride in me, he said.
And therefore Ng signed a season-long agreement in March after taking a leap of faith and receiving a pay cut of more than 70 %.
Foes TURNED” BESTIES”

At the most recent SEA Games, he played against some of his present friends from Indonesia. They won the bronze prize after defeating Singapore 10-4.

However, it can be lonely in the land, admitted Ng, who was called” area child” by his ex-coach.
” My friends know that it will be a challenge for me, because I’m only here and there’s no evidence of acquaintance, no familiar encounters, no common speech,” he said.
They have been attempting to accommodate me by inviting me to eat ( with them ) in order to support me. “
