Fly Away.

Off to the airport yesterday for a surprise homecoming for gehui partner! we bluffed her that there was training and that we weren't able to fetch her from the airport and that we could only meet her for dinner. perfect surprise (: I bet you didnt see it coming did you love!

met up early at clementi. I'M SORRY I WAS LATE. trained all the way to changi. new experience! popeye's for some chicken and too bad they ran out of biscuits/buns. the rest made it sound like it was damn nice and noobie me will just have to wait for the next time we visit the airport again to try some. did cards for gehui and camwhored awhile. gehui made us train our arms for the short time we were there! but it was worth it. glad to have you back partner, i'll be looking forward to training with you tmr! YAY. okay pictures. (ps, last pic ripped from liting's)

I've been swearing so much lately it's going to be a habit. i should stop, but swear words somehow makes a bad situation seems less bad as it is. I'm losing my roots, O'God, please help me.

When I'm Back

lengthy entry, beware.

but first, here's pictures from outing with bestie!




right. the rest of the pictures are up at shutterfly!

okay. so obs is done with! it was a whole new experience i guess. really makes you think back and appreciate all the things we always take for granted right back here on mainland singapore. it was fun i guess, if you minus the icky bathing and sleeping conditions. campsite 2 have the worst toilets ever, enduring to bathe whilst creepycrawlies are crawling right next to you proved to be too much for me to handle so i went a day without bathing. i did wipe myself with sok's hygienic wipes okay! notetoself, next obs trip, bring lots of powder and wipes!

my watch's made up of people whom you wont normally see talking to each other in school. we've got mostly the performing arts/clubs people, and i was the only trugger in my watch. thank goodness i have nerine, and yueli, they made my life over at ubin a whole lot more bearable. by being in the watch, i've seen the best and the worst of some people, and its really interesting to see how some people work their way into the group. we've got some team players, and some who just stand there and talk like they've got lots of experience but then OOPS, no action. and there were also some people who dont even talk, they just stand there and watch the rest do the work. nevertheless, it was good to know more people, no matter how detestable some of them are. haha.

i cant really remember the details of our camp now, but i know some of the activities which will stay with me for a long long time. first will definitely be the sea expedition. i've never kayaked before, much less had experience holding a paddle. i wanted to partner nerine initially, but thank goodness we changed partners, because it wasnt a good idea to have two bitching good pals on the kayak for 7/8 hours. we'll use up all our energy for bitching and will surely drift away and get lost on the open sea. i got partnered with this guy called terence, and i swear he thinks im a bimbo. i didnt understand the kayaking terms he used, haha, until now i dont even know what holding water means. and kayaking 7hours straight is no easy feat. i had to hold my pee for 3/4 hours cos peeing in the sea was not my kinda thing. and my arms and fingers were aching like crazy! the last part of our vayage was really tough cos not only was everyone already too damn exhausted, we were against the currents too, and we had to paddle really hard to stay in formation and not to get swept away. had a few close shaves, thank goodness we didnt capsize! i'd seriously cry. it felt seriously damn good though, to be able to complete the sea expedition. now i can proudly say i've kayaked round the whole island of ubin (: next goal, kayak all the way to batam baby! and im taking the back seat, thankyou very much.

another set of activities which i loved was the high elements. we did the jetty jump, which was the least scariest of the three jumps we had to do. we did that twice, feels damn good, though i got kinda scared the first time round. next up was flying fox, that one literally took a leap of faith. it was when the instructor tells you to take the step off when you really feel the shivers. and my scream just own everybody else's! cool or not. the third and last jump was the scariest, it was the trapeze jump. i managed to get hold of the bar which looked like it was 17454872m away from the plank. and okay, i screamed again. haha. bungee jumping is still on my 'things to do before i die' list, so these wont be my last jumps!

amongst these, there were the not-so-fun activities like outdoor cooking/tentpitching and other mundane stuff. everything tastes good when you're outdoors and hungry. i learnt alot on how to survive the outdoors in the wild, i just hope i wont actually get to use them!

obs, in all, had been a memorable camp. now that its over, all i have left of it are bruises, sandfly bites and a pathetic photograph of my watch which isnt even autographed on. given the chance, i think i might sign up for the 9day course, but this time with the whole truggers team! that'd be so much fun. hell yeah.

so right after obs, we had training, it was good to see the girls again!
and on saturday, we had to meet at 9 to collect the standard chartered marathon race packs. 10km, and we havent even started training. as joke would've said, we good game alrd. haha! we'll just use our newly acquired positive mental skills to push on wont we? i hope it'd be fun! (or more like hellish, actually).

sunday was the long awaited beach touch! most of us were still peeling from last week's training+tanning session at sentosa. i was in pj hearts with charlene, shum, yani, jiayi. we got into the pool with TP, RP, MI, SR and LFS. LFS girls are darn cute! esp gill. congrats to deb's group for getting fourth! whoo. gehui should've been here, she would've been in the same group as me! got lotsa freebies, and we've got shirts too. i love carnivals with shirts! team dinner afters at the deck again, then it was arcade for some airhockey and watching some of them battle it out in the racing game. B&J's for deserts. lovely way to end a lovely day (: okay pictures are up next! pictures are in order according to how old they are! more in shutterfly. right. out now!]

the time we had mass friendlies :

Crucify My Enemies

I've been spending so much time with the team this holidays! but i'm not complaining. (:

sentosa training cum outing yesterday was fun. the sun was oh-so good, plus the people and the activities, perfect! it was also our first outing together as a team, though there were some missing people. beachtouched, volleyballed, frisbeed.. and tanning. and i wish i'd have been smart enough to know my limits and actually put sunblock instead of suntan lotion though, and now im suffering from my dumb actions. i am very badly sunburnt, especially the back, and it just hurts to do the most simplest of things, like say sleeping. sitting down, wearing clothes, even stretching my back hurts like hell! this has got to be the worst sunburnt ever. but given the chance, i'll repeat the whole day all over again, because the company was good. and esp after the mental skills trng thing, i can see that most of us are taking the effort so really bond and all, from the dinners and stuff, so yeah. i hope beachtouch on the 25th will more or less be the same thing! looking forward to that.

OBS tmr! kinda nervous/excited about it. i hope i get the truggers/nerine in my watch! im gonna slap on so much sunblock that im actually going to get fairer the next 5days. debbie told me everything i needed to know (and more) so OBS, here i come! i'm going to miss everyone who'll be in singapore while i suffer at ubin though. the team (partner'll be going to india, wont be seeing her for a long long time!! ): ), bestie, mum&bro, close friends, j.. and civilisation too! haha.

okay i better continue packing now. so long!

I Think I'm Addicted.

My holidays are so packed that i have a problem remembering what i have on which days. i cant even remember what day is it today, damn.

okay let me try to think back, well i think on deepavali i met up with the bestfriend Daria! it's been ages since i've met her, and i had a good time catching up with her. and yes, it's never enough! maybe a sleepover someday yes? and my internet's being a bitch now, i cant upload pictures onto any sites. so pictures will be later, when the internet is done with the menses moodswings. i really hate the damn computer sometimes, gets too pms-y too often. maybe it's time for a change alrd. but oh, i get so sentimental even with inanimate objects, i wont bear to change this lousy computer of mine. i think i deserve a slapping sometimes.

thursday was results, that i remembered. i got promoted, but i wasnt happy cos not everyone i knew did. some of my mutual/close friends got retained/kicked out and im really going to miss them.
To Haris, babe, even though we only hung out for half the year (or less) i want you to know that im going to miss your nonsense! all your sick stories, your enlightments on the adult world, all your complaints abt marylim.. we're not going to stop nagging at you even though you're moving on! you're going to join us for study sessions yes. i'll miss you!
To Farid, hon, i've known you for a teeny weeny bit longer than haris, and i really wish your appeal'll be successful! i know that deep down you're capable of passing and doing well in jc, we just werent being good friends enough to always tempt you to skip lectures/not do tutorials. it'll all be different next year yes! we'll play and study at the same time. and i really am going to miss your loud and warm presence, your accompany during physics! i'm going to be a nerd during phy now that you're gone ): but still, friends till the end yes!

saturday's friendly was all good. win some, lost some, but the aftermath was fun (: played cards on the track with coach and i had a really good time. dinner at amkhub, bonded with those who went. coach, xinyi and charlene, i have your pretty pictures in my phone now, k thanks. i bused back that day, i am a happy girl. haha. yknow i love those girls so much, i wish we were all in the same class. that'd be real fun.

on that note, i cant wait for obs to come! debbie's at ubin now, yo! i really dont know what to bring for obs (cue, nerine, packing list?). let's go camping shopping, anyone!

i miss my brother. he's at indo, eating all the nice food. asshole. even though he's a bitch, he's my younger little bitch and without him the family's kinda quiet. there's nobody to disturb me, my brother or my mum. it sounds good for awhile, but then it gets too quiet, then we all start wishing that he'd come back soon. i hope he buys me back lots of presents! though his taste's kinda bad. haha.

J's house today for prison break. his room is a freezer i swear, and he refuses to switch off the freaking aircon even though its so damn cold. help, i'm dating an alien.

i'm so happy nowadays, but sometimes i just feel like throwing it all away and go into hiding. am i crazy?

random notes.
kbye.

I wish I was Special.

the week's pictures!

monday
sentosa with the malays + nerine! i think this should be my last tanning session for a long long time. cafe del mar the next time we go okay babies!








tuesday
pw group outing! we were supposed to go thank the nurses at gleneagles for gracing (?) our interviews and decided to go for a team lunch before going, cos this is possible the last time we'll be meeting up as a group. decided on seoul garden, ate for 4 hours nonstop. the guys on the otherhand ate for only 2. shit. fat alrd.
the guys were being bitches by refusing to take photos so the girls camwhored instead.










mental skills training today! Ju taught us personal power. like how we should encourage each other and to have a positive mindset even when the going gets tough. the session made me think of so many things that happened in previous carnivals&friendlies, all the fumbles, the bad defences.. made me depressed for awhile. just for awhile though. then coach announced a short fitness and no one brought running shoes so most ran barefooted and i acted smart and ran in maryjanes but got a blister instead serve me right. subway for halfdinner with some of the girls. i hope the whole team can really go for team dinner someday.

k im going to read my book now bye. thanks debbie for helping me borrow books from the library!

I Do Love The Holidays So.

First day of work was ugh bad. the target group was totally wrong, i mean asking office people to download these applications when they spend half the time surfing the net anyw from the computers in the office? but yeah, the quota was 50, and we managed to clinch only what, 4/5. pathetic. second day was better though, maybe cos we were all propelled by the fact that we were going to get paid. work was cut short by 2hours though, cos our productivity was too damn low. haha!

oral presentation today went alright. kinda nervous, mouth went dry for a little bit and i think i couldn't recognise my voice for a few minutes when i was up there. Q&A was alright though cos we spotted 3/5 of the questions. finally, a year's worth of torture is over! (:

training tmr morning, i have a feeling we're gonna do the timed runs again. my stamina is srsly non-existent, so i hope i survive. butbut, i have the girls, so no fret!

kbye.
