How great. 3 days left to school resuming.
Lessons, homework =(
Look forward to next holiday, closer to end of As =)
Despite the temporary stop to training, school's still inevitable because of tkk. Thankfully it's now completed, more time for revision and chilling. Still, there's only 3 days left.
On a lighter note, everyone watch NATIONAL TREASURE. The thrill is just.... excellent. Thats's not much of a spoiler right?
Plaza Sing is so centralised that on that day winston and his TIP peeps just had to stand at that particular spot in the MRT station and let us find him. Besides there was also bingxu, long time no see, and he looks different. LOL. And from that spot we saw jumaiyah & samuel and while queueing for tickets, i spotted mayyee. Walking into the cinema, someone called my name from behind and there was mayyee, sitting right behind me. -.-
Anyway the moral of the story is don't watch at PS because it's so centralised and we got seats two rows from the screen. Though thats crap, it doesnt spoil the show a single bit. ;D
And then there was lunch with ABt'06 the next day at Pariss. Sadly meigui din't appear, reducing the girl-guy ratio even more. Though there was rare guest joan again to pick it up.
Food was pleasant, company was great, until Melissa had to come and drag me off. o.0 Well, i can't be ungrateful for her kind deed eh. I guess i was left with no choice. haha. That makes me sound so reluctant even for that short 25mins. Ok to mel those can be retracted. -_-
Then again, i din mean to be late, and cause much misery to their empty stomach. But.... i hardly wake up before 10! So for once, I dint have to wait for Joan. Everytime i step into Eunos Mrt station, it somehow reminds me of how long i waited for her the time when we went FuHua SEc for friendly cause she was so freaking late. Old habits die hard. ._.
Alright my calendar is funny, but it serves a purpose for reminding myself ok. Those evil ppl treated me like clown. -.-
Anyway at 3pm we had to leave Pariss, time passed really quickly and we walked to somerset from ngee ann city, seeing Mr and Mrs Yeo at cineleisure (dressed slightly less than nicely -.-) and also my bro and his friends. Headed for kpool after a trip to the arcade, during which perlin appeared. For god knows wad reason we walked to Borders after that to accomplish nothing besides the walking distance.
After which, the siblings left and we went on for dinner. Tough decision on the dining location, because we live at different locations, we had a long debate on Toa Payoh, Hougang, AMK, woodlands (out of qns) and Yishun. We really left the decision to fate, though we decided upon toa payoh's ba cor mee (thanks to jeremy's persistent recommendation). Because it was peak hour, the mrt train towards toa payoh was packed (or rather the commuters refuse to move inwards, hence obstruction at the door) so when the first train came, only spiky managed to squeeze in before the train door closed upon us. Poor spiky was stucked at the next station waiting a damn long time for us, because the next few trains that came, we couldnt make it in. So we decided to take the train which goes in the opposite direction to Dhoby Ghaut (relatively empty). We finally got spiky back with us and our dinner at ps.
And yesterday was kboxing with sam and friends. Nothing surprising besides the price. $94.16 for 4pax, thats freakingly ex considering membership. How can they stop kstundent promotion?! zzz.

Hello hello. Sorry for the disappearance, i'm back and it's christmas. Merry Christmas!
Let's see..
Sports trip was really fun and an eyeopener, besides the slightly cliquish part. I shall say the memorable things that i want to maintain as memories (regardless of good or bad), when 10 years down the road, i look back on my first sports trip ever with the team.
Of course, the most important part of the trip were the friendly matches that we took the long bus rides for. They were also part of the reason for the trip, to expose us to other players, besides the bonding of the team. And because our bus driver got lost looking for the badminton hall on the first day of the trip, we were stuck on the bus for a freakingly long time. What we din't know was, it wasnt' worth our effort in the least. What awaited us at the sports hall was a egoist man, all full of himself and his club, not bad players at least, and a lousy demand of shuttlecocks from us. Saying accomodating us was by providing courts and players, we were supposed to provide all sources of shuttles. And of course, since we brought limited from homeland, we were required to purchase from him. Oh well, of course picking up an arguement wasnt our nature as guest, it was the most we could do.
When people say like father like son, we could say like teacher like student?
Some snobbish players he has got, walking off the court without the slightest acknowledgement of appreciation and thanks after a game, right after the shuttle lands.
Looking on the brighter side, we had better opponents for the next two friendly matches on the second and third day respectively. Especially so when we met the supposingly state and street players on the third day. We were really warmly received as the players were lined up and we did shake hands with each and every player, and of course taking photographs. They really treated us as valuable opponents and maybe even a tinge of fear? For we were actually in red and white jerseys, Singapore colours maybe? haha. The joke of the trip was that we were actually going to represent Singapore as Team Siglap. (Since M'sia was big and had states that the players could represent.) And the second friendly was with some random players, but they were quite nice yet dao too. Oh well. At least we took a picture. Unlike the egoist people who just packed bags and left without a goodbye even.
Of course, the next most interesting thing was paintball. For those who are clueless about what it is, it's just a sadistic game where you hold a gun and shoot people (literally), obviously your opponents. And these tiny balls filled with paint come flying out at say 500km per hr maybe? And you try to avoid any balls at all cost, because when you get whacked, the "bullets" burst and you get a patch of paint on your shirt, coming with it is a huge blue-black that stays with you for days. In the end, everyone returned with bruises, except wanyun and me, though we were kind of glad yet disappointed at the same time. We missed out on the opportunity to experience getting hit, (it's that sadistic) since the thrill was getting hit in the process of the game besides leading the team to victory by tagging the other team's flag on the other side of the playing ground.
Last but not least was the fun and thrill we experienced as a team at the outdoor theme park in Genting. It was fun to be there as a team, the whole team filling up the roller coaster, and sadly not the Viking ship, since for some reason the team were splited at first. It was while queueing for Spaceshot that the girls called the guys to join us.
I wouldn't deny my fear for the rides, but it was the peer pressure and of course moral support from the others that boost my confidence to overcome the fears. From the start, I secretly swore to myself that i wouldn't get on Spaceshot aka Freefall regardless of all. I told yy i would queue with them, and watch them get on the ride. And when our friendly tourguide aka ms lim came along and said she was going for Go-Kart with bel, i had a strong desire to tag along. And it was yy who refused to let me out of the queue -.- So that's how peer pressure started. And as we got nearer and nearer to the front of the queue, (time passed really quickly when you just hoped it slows down really.. the rest could really entertain themselves by playing Bridge standing) yy and i were silent, secretly praying to our holy god to save us from the tramatising experience that we were going to bring ourselves upon. She had the experience of chickening out after she queued for a damn long time at korea theme park for a similar ride, hence i cant imagine her putting me through this torturous wait. Nevertheless, when we were just a dozen or so people away from the front of the queue, yy really got scared. It's really funny when you hear people scream, i wouldnt believe i was comforting her instead of the reverse. (She was the one insisting i take the ride -_-) We did think of how cold we would be up at the top, since it was a foggy day and it just happened to rain when we were there.
Our friendly tour guide aka we-know-who was evil enough to show off her steamy cup noodles while we were stuck in the queue for Corkscrew (the roller coaster that had overturns) and some shivering even. Hah. On the whole it was a worth while experience, at least i did overcome some obstacles that i couldnt imagine myself to.
The last night in the hotel room was the most memorable of all, since everyone gathered in ms lim's room and played together. After 2am when ms lim decided that we should sleep, some of us changed location and gathered in mayyee's room instead. Believe it or not, adrian kelvin mayyee and yy entertained themselves with some lame fortune telling game till what? 5am?! Just because spastic adrian kept going "again again". Gosh. Till they finally decided to head back to their room.
And also, the cable car ride back and forth from genting was fun. The view was splendid. =D
All in all, we had fun though there wasn't much shopping time, and i had a great sleeping companion who wasn't afraid of ghost? LOL. The rest got freaked out after hearing some ghost stories on the bus ride back to the hotel at night. And we could self entertain by simply having a mini kbox session in our room. heh.
Oh and how could i forget, we visited a chocolate factory or whatever it was called. Basically it just sold alot of chocolates.
And right after we returned back to Singapore after another long day of bus rides, i couldn't believ myself, but i did bring myself to ABt chalet after depositing the luggage at home. I wonder how i convinced myself to go without sleep for another two whole days. Nevertheless, i really enjoyed myself with my team'06 as usual, nothing beats them all. Simply looking at yongyuan keeps you awake cause you cant stop laughing at his spasticity. And then there's weeyang who talks endlessly, wilson who was dead tired after rolling his boat hence collapsing on the mac's table, yongkiat's activeness and spiky's random comments.. though we had some unforeseen disputes at the chalet, everything did turn out well eventually..
More people came on the second day, that includes JOAN (rare guest), meigui, melissa and ningxin. hence everyone decided they should pose with joan for a photograph. How honourable, i took at least 2 with her =D LOL.
Oh yes. And we went arcade and played bball and ddr. (we tried to play datona but there just had to be a power failure when i was in 2nd position. i swear i could hav caught up with weeyang just less than an inch infront. haha) And did i mention we played arcade at Genting too. Ok not we, they did. At least ms lim challenged adrian to basket ball and he was really proud of his score- 133 LOL.
Ok i shall end now. Other events shall be post next time. 2.24am. time for bed. =D

~ 10:16 PM ~
I felt cheated today, and had to wake up bright and early for training at 9am at a new place called Singapore Chinese Girls' School. It's new 'cause it's my first time there, therefore had to wake up early to look for the place, and together with parents complaining how far it is and how often trgs are getting, it's just frustrating. And who knows i would get there early, (i reached at 8.25 when yy told me to meet at 8.45) therefore i tried to find the school hall on my own. (I succeeded and it was locked, too bad for early birds -_- badminton ppl are seldom on time, i assumed.) And when yy appeared ard 8.40, we were the only people there. And she started to get worried when no SCGS girls appeared (she said they were usually early for past trainings) at 8.50. When 8.55 arrived and still no one appeared, something must be wrong. It din't take much of a brilliant kid to realise that.
So, yy called may and her phone was off.
Then, she called isabel..
As predicted..
bel: hello... (sounding tired)
yy: did you just wake up?
bel: ya... (sounding very tired)
yy: (started laughing, because we predicted her to be slping STilL)
bel: wad time is it?
yy: 9am!
bel: oh ****!
yy: (laughs harder)
Then yy called Mr wong..
yy: hello mr wong ah. today trg is it at SCGS? (when we are already there -_-)
mr wong: ..... (dint know wad he said, but training was definately not at SCGS! -.-)
Anyway, training in actual fact was at Xinmin. I guess at training last friday when Mr wong told us training was at SCGS on thursday (today), we took it for real and din't double checked with him, never did we realise he got the venue wrong. -_-' oh well. i just feel bad having to create a fuss in the morning about the venue and stuff, and in the end not getting to train, making the trip even less worthwhile.
And then yy called may again, to tell her about the change in venue..
handphone was off again.. so she called her house (predicting that she was asleep as well. -.-)
Guess wad? May's sleeping too -.- Some pigs those two are. LOL. -.-
It was really like some sneaky stuff that i did after that. yy went ahead with training at Xinmin while i went home to get my physics stuff before meet mr wong in school. In order to avoid letting my parents know that i made a wasted trip ( more like avoid more naggings), i was trying to find some excuse to make for reaching home so early. -_- Of course i came up with none. -.-
Anyway, i had to go into the house somehow. Viola, the door was locked. So racing with time, unlocked, prepared for school, kept any traces of my arrival at home, and dashed out once again. -_-''
Things went on as usual, met Mr wong, caught fred claus with mel after that, met chunhan and christine coincidentally on the train and back home again. (All's safe and sound, no questions no doubts.)
The past few days were off at vj bad chalet. It was quite a different experience, being part of the organising team all over again. Don't be surprised, bel started our bbq fire, yy and i took charge of the cooking most of the time. It's was funny really, such a big chalet (it was a yacht bungalow at aloha changi) with 5 toilets some more, and there was only us four girls with ms lim who helped us check in. I learnt a new game, texas poker, from adrian. Equally addictive, what more can entertain a bunch of people.
Mr wong came, and he summoned all of us to the bbq pit. And started to tell us how scary aloha changi was with the war and dead people from the past. And he claimed we had an assignment to do: sweep up all the leaves and fall in the next morning ( like this chalet was some military camp). what a great sense of humour -.-
And bel told us what a senior told her about her past encounter. At night at some chalet at aloha changi as well, some girls went into the toilet and came out feeling wierd. Then they saw a puddle of water forming on the ground and there were ripples in the water despite no drips of water falling into the puddle. And the puddle grew bigger. Of course we were freaked out. For a moment, they put off the idea of bathing. LOL.
The next morning we woke up and found everyone stoning. Some decided to head home to wash up while others stayed at the chalet. It's kind of inconvenient for its location, so there wasnt much to play ard there anyway. I chose to follow the former, but instead of leaving for home, caught a bus ride with yy to her house and ended up watching The Prestige on her laptop. We were again behaving sneakily in her room, smuggling food when food wasn't allowed in rooms upstairs. -_- Oh well, i was tired so i fell asleep in between scenes. After the show ended, we had our mini kbox session with songs played through her comp.
It was fun. There would be more fun to come in the next few days. Which means, busy.
