you know what..

heart-stopping action ftw.. haha!

so i had brunch with nw at anatolia today, his treat. and i realized tt random occassional treats actually make you enjoy them more.. plus i'd hafta admit tt it was a wise move tt i pay for my own stuffs, esp considering my daily food intake and all.. lols.

yup then met sis at 3plus to catch National treasure at ps at 4.05.. exciting show yay! so basically today was a very nice day uhuh..

i'll be away from tmr and will be back by the 31st.. vacation to malaysia, cameron highlands etc.. hope dad decides to stop by kl so'd i can take advantage of the year-end sale there yup..

kay guess tt's all..

who'd have guessed we'd make it till now? happy 33rd, love.. =)

confuzzled

wonderful. i wrote a 2paragraph long entry bout my outing wth the dudes, ie FariNa and melz, but blogger, despite it's auto saving shitz, still lost it all. wth really.

so now i will write a short bit bout the outing so may the dudes/liyana forgive me.

rights so we went out on sat where i finally claimed my swensens treat from na. na was, for the first time, the earliest, but apparently farin came even earlier but went to pray at al-falah first.. O.o anws, i already had mom-made spaghetti at home so i only had a choco malt ice cream and shared fries with melz. happy food yay! yar then we wanted to watch Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium (which really is a lovely show) and since i watched it already, they offered to split the cost of my ticket. awww.. but the queue was long so we decided to.. *drumrolls* pool instead! at le meridien.. shady wahahs! melz was dressed rather skankily so she borrowed my windbreaker to make up for the lack of cloth.. signboard jacket ftw lol! pooled for an hour then na had to leave and we walked to ps where we spent a short while finding melz' dad a xmas prezze but spent a long long long time at a bimb accessories shop where melz spent a fortune.. yar.. =/

the past few days havent been tt eventful tho.. on sunday morning, i went to the park with dad and sisters and i ran approx 4k with dad. then we went to a wedding till late aftn. yst i didnt follow mom out, save for brunch with younger sis, and spent time at home ironing clothes, packing my bag for hols and played Sims castaway on sis' psp. -.- today, i did some weights training cos i realized tt i was flabbing up ultra fast. then i psp-ed. then did weights again. and watched tv.

for most of the eoy hols, i had trainings. caught up with friends. did a whole lot of random rubbish and basically was out most of the time. and yet when im at home, i still dont do any mugging. honestly, i dont know what's to become of me. damn As..

dancing xmas tree

christmas is all around me, and so the feeling grows~

lol at least tt's what i think the song's like.. =/ xmas party at bern's today was alright.. i left early at 6.30 before the party actually really started so poots la.. the gifts under the tree were really very pretty! i didnt do gift exchange but i gave my buddy, ie jr the gift tt i bought haha! she gave me a nike bottle yay! the girls exco gave us stockings stuffed full with sweets and chocs whee! and jerome actually bought xmas hats and personalized it with our names wahh so damn nice! =D

i only ate chocs there so i stuffed myself when i got home haha! we watched Love actually there yay! such a sweet sweet sweet show..

anws, was looking thru the big box of ncc prezzes and cards tt i collected over the four years.. they were dusty and made my eyes teary and i kept sneezing like some diseased cow.. in any case, gah the memories! i miss the company! and my babies ahh i miss my little partas.. boos. we might be crashing one trg next yr.. hope we manage to do tt.. mon and wed are both canoeing trgs so.. urgh hope we can free up at least one day.. i miss ncc so much ack.

ob outing on wed was cancelled.. was gonna go to meera's house for the baking thing but i got lazy cos her hse is all the way in kembangan.. =/ met up with nw instead for 1.5 hrs.. hari raya haji yst was basically spent at aunts place where we ate alot. yup and sisters and cousins and i went to gv at yishun to watch Alvin and the chipmunks lol! very very typical storyline but the animation's really really cute la owells.. theodore awww..

okay tt's all for today, im getting sleepy boos. going out with FariNa and melz tmr.. finally haha! =)

olivejuice//

eightasone always

pltn outing at priya's house was awesomee! hahaha i came first at ard 1.50pm and pltnmates slowly came one by one afterwards.. full pltn finally! jy just came back from uk only this morning poor thing.. we watched Hitched and the Simpsons, pigged out and ordered canadian pizza for dinner.. i had 5 slices yay! =D

then we crashed py's room for xmas exchange.. yz gave me a fluffy blue towel haha! i gave sn a Digipet lawl.. yupyup then we took pictures on the webcam on py's laptop haha! it was almost exactly like squeezing into a neoprint booth back in our cadet years cept tt it was a tad bit less frantic hoho! yup we took videos too! i took up half of the screen each time, which wasn't much of a surprise to pltnmates lol.. anw anw we did a music video of our pltn song.. "where the fields are green, i'll see you once again, my loveee", and we also sang the first ever pltn song parta ncos thought us, which was "Nothing's gonna stop us" and we also sang "Right here waiting" yup! but py just told me tt someone closed the programme without saving so meh we lost everything.. =/ owells another reason for us to get together again yay! haha!

LOVELOVE PLTNMATES! =)

anw, appointment at Alexandra hospital was Meh. i asked for a referral to a sports doc but i couldnt make it for the initial slot which was during canoe overseas trip, so i got postponed to today, but he wasnt a sports doctor and i duno it was just the same as the polyclinic cept tt it costed a whole lot more.. took an xray tho which was quite funny.. hospital gowns are so ugh and unglam and they make you take off your bra.. =// ack.

anw i hafta go back there in feb to make sure nothing's wrong.. cos it's apparently only muscle ache which should be normal for sports ppl.. like it's so trivial like tt.. kinda pissed me off i guess cos it really hurts like shit sometimes and i freaking know what normal muscle ache is la.. but whatever la.. i insisted to go to a sports clinic for feb.. either way, even if it's nothing, the doctor might actually tell me what i did wrong or like how i can make sure i can avoid having it happen to me again.. whatever la wasted time and money there only..

Hady's Asian idol.. =/ so strange. i thought jaclyn victor was most deserving cos her vocals really is awesome.. sis youtubed one of the performances tt channel 5 didnt show.. Abhijeet and Hady sang Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and it was super super adorable ahh.. ><

OKAY tired. ob outing to ecp park to cycle on wed.. so exciting! prolly gonna be only 4 of us again.. and i'd be the only girl around lol..

olivejuice//

poser ge~!

the weather after the rain's really pretty..


lols.. i love macritchie! =D

lol reunion

haha yeah met up with some of the ob dudes today.. today sposedly only 4 of could make it. jeriel maggi nichola and me. then nichola had stuff on and could only join us later. then maggi decided to bail out on us again. then it was just jeriel and me. then nichola decided to bail out on us too. then somehow sara and weiliang could make it. so there were 4 of us in the end. and we pooled. it was very fun.

haha! might have another outing on tues/wed but sara cant make it boos..

went out for brunch with family and aunt today. the guy at the drinks stall was hitting on me and it was scary. went boonlay awhile where mom bought me jeans and a dress thing. haha!

the weather today is anxious with a tinge of melancholy

lol

olivejuice//

how now brown cow?

row today was great.. arms are aching like mad, but i must say tt i feel good anws. meera and i really pushed ourselves for our 18k and eventho we were the only two t1s suffering in the stupid bathtubs, we did fairly well. meera is damn good to pace manz. the sky was magnificient. huge fluffy cumulonimbus(sp? haha!) clouds were just awesomely pretty..

back hurts. ohyeah and meera and i were getting quite hysterical during our last 4k,laughing and grunting in turn, cos we were really damn shagged. partly the reason on my part i guess..

i wish i'd just grow up. stop all this moodswinging. think before i talk.

i wish i'd just make up my mind about how i feel. sometimes i feel that i am right but i actually voice out my opinions, i realize that "oh dear" maybe my views really are flawed. funny how varying viewpoints tend to be oh so clear only when it's too late. and i figured tt i've been so consumed by my own needs/wants tt i dont see the sacrifices tt have been made for me. and of course, realizing this now, i'll soon forget and be all self-centred again. ugh. might be too late to realize this huh. you're so stupid, syimah.

i love you

blow

just saw some of the snrs' vids on youtube.. i hadnt realized just how much im gonna miss them.. esp the t1 j2 girls, ie yangyang joohui and jolene.. having been in the snr team has been a great honour, being able to row with very inspiring snrs who've taught me to give my all and row with heart.

missing them already manz. i hardly know how much more i need to give for every row..

gym today was relatively gg i guess.. but getting quite used to it cos im not really aching now.. back kinda hurts tho and my right tricep completely died on me during one of the sets for some strange reason or another..

lately trgs have been fuelled by thoughts of blowing the other boats out of the water.. reaching the last buoy with heart pumping and knowing tt i've left the other boats behind. but i have to admit tt sometimes the future scares me. as in here we are, during trgs, feeling gg after not-so-hellish sets, and we'll be competing against schools like nj who train like mad. how are we sposed to compete with that? very very scary.. but i guess fearing my competitors is alright just as long as this fear is able to empower me to train harder, row faster.

someday i might just taste victory.. =)

limits

you know sometimes, when you love someone, you just want to spend every moment with them. but sometimes perhaps, we should know when to stay away. sometimes i wonder if i'd drive nw away, being so clingy like that.

but then, looking back, i wonder if i didnt have him, i would've spent more time with my friends. i wouldnt have missed out on the many things tt i have. feeling quite disconnected sometimes. unwanted.

then it just sucks when you think of all the stuffs you've sacrificed. whether it's even worth it.

and also, every girl in a relationship would probably wonder if they can do better. get someone who'd appreciate them more. or is this really The one. till death do us part. cant help but wonder huh?

i know the problem is essentially me. all my idealistic thoughts about what a perfect relationship should be. Of course he has his own life to live. Of course he cant devote all his time to me. neither will any other guy really. so the sooner im able to live with that fact, the better.

grow up, syimah.

i should be sleeping now

bad day

firstly, i capped in my t1 near the pontoon soon after i set off for my first k. i duno wth happened but it was embarrassing and i felt woozy after tt.. py's getting faster and i got her to make sure she was never more than a buoy away. the only problem was tt i was damn stressed having to make sure i kept up my frequency.. oh wait. tt's actually a good thing, yes? owells..

2k timing. deproved by 13secs. jkahdbf87t3v qjksanjkgfq[ietkwel. =( something disgustingly UGH happened tho during 2k timing and it was veryvery distracting. but of course, no excuses. wed, sub 12? row row row!

it's almost becoming an obsession. awesome.. but bad days like today make me feel so awful and weak and loser-ish. bother..

and back's hurting again..

sometimes i wish i could use the same drive tt i have when canoeing, in my studies.. i cant afford to screw up next year manz..

something strange/amusing/disturbing happened today.. cheryl and i were in the toilet then suddenly some old man came out of the cubicle and he'd been smoking.. im not too sure if he knew tt he was in the wrong toilet.. =/

ohwells. tired..

some things to look forward to:
ob sabah kondiu reunion!: this friday
pltnmates gathering at py's!: monday
sports doc appt: monday

baby steps

trg yst.. improved 2k timing yes! 12.22

ria remix poots

anw J2 farewell yst was funn.. there wasnt much food tho but okay la i think just about everyone got fed.. at first it was like some gambling den cos the guys were playing card games.. the j2 guys came and played also.. the j1 girls not writing the notes were made to mingle so we played Snap and Heartattack. i finally wasnt the slowest! liangjie and ge tied for most blur hoho! then the rest of the girls went up to write the notes, then we ate, then we blowed bubbles with the bubble gum tt ge got from hongkong, then we played tug-o-war.. over the pool yayy!

the rope was quite painful.. =/ i was in group 4 and i was the only girl nyeh! noone really fell in during the game but afterwards everyone just kept dunking each other.. 6 j1 girls stayed dry including me haha! tho i should've jumped in cos it looked fun but i didnt bring extra clothes bah..

then we did the candle on floating boats thing.. it was really pretty.. haha then the names on the boats started catching fire and the chingx water buffalo waded ard.. very anti-climatic but still very entertaining la.. haha! then they gave out prezzes and i hadta go poots..

got home at 10.30 and i knocked out at 11 with a horrid headache..

went to the park this morning with dad and sisters to play basketball.. i've lost my touch.. =(

did some physics so i guess my day isnt totally wasted..

kay water trg tmr so i better rest up.. gotta cut down summore on my 2k timing.. every improvement counts and i'll finally reach my ultimate goal.. baby steps yup..

portrait

gym today was gg.

and zomg im so bloody noob cos i didnt know half/or more of the sets tt we did. as meera would quote, (me to py) : priya, what's a fly? ugh.

so anw, i think i learned fast enough. set a few goals which i met and was quite pleased with my progress. gym-ing's fun.. and quite some amusing things happened.. like how we realized tt the poster of the diff muscles of the human body resembled muchly a portrait of liangjie's form.. hoho! im so gonna get half his muscles man. not all cos then i'd look freaky.. =/

water trg yst. hit my pb again i think. 2k timing 12.25 on my t1. okay la i guess.. esp since i degenned like crap already.. sub 12 by march, yes? hope so..

anw, the cip thing at Yong en centre was amusing.. reconsidering my activity centre.. upper pri sch kids can be quite scary.. the younger kids are reaaally cute tho. yupyup! oh and haha an 11 yr old boy asked for my no. and apparently tried to cover up by asking for fung's no. but since he didnt contact me, i can assume tt he did Not try to hit on me. yar.. haha!

owells tt's all for updates i guess.. raffles row ftw! =)

so happy together

wooh canoe gopeng, perak trip was awesome. most awesome 4 days this year yeah! from amazingly priced yummy malaysian food, to lol-ing games, to scandalous scandals, to angel-mortaling, to painful barefooted caving, to bumpy white water rafting, to (amazingly acurate) fortune telling, to cool rock climbing, to hot instructors, to crazy high elements, to fangirling, to emo-ing, to birthdays, to forging a common bond thru "sharing of experiences", to uberly sweet notes all around, to anti-climatic tummy pains for most.

having summarised the whole trip to a simple enough paragraph, i hope i've captured the essence of the entire trip, which truly was wonderful.

pictures here! (uh soon..)

i really got to know alot of ppl alott better and i must say tt i now have alot more reason to miss rjc next year. what an awesome bunch of ppl to have as teammates.. both guys' and girls' teams.

RAFFLES ROW FTW!

olivejuice// lol fortune telling..

awesome

today while rowing with py in our t1s, py was telling me of all the diff pains she's had recently on diff parts of her body, and i said "well at least you hurt at diff exciting places and it's like temporary", referring of course to the for-as-long-as-i-can-rmb pain in my upper back. with my awesome luck, i got an exciting new injured-area now.

i was rushing off for econs cos i was late. got the keys from jiaolian, only to find tt the bag shed wasnt locked. then i grabbed my bag off the shelf thing, not realizing tt a bunch of weights were underneath it, and so Plop! went two 1.25kg weights onto my right foot's middle toe. damn pain la. now it's like purplish black. woo sexy..

ohwells so trg was alright. my body most definitely has something against t1s cos the ache in my back came back. nyeh. after rowing 8k and taken our break, py and i asked jiaolian to let us row k2 and he said okay! albeit reluctantly.. haha! k2 is imba nice compared to t1! i took 50-60 strokes for 500m on k2 whilst i once took 125 strokes for 500m in t1. NYEH BATHTUB!

econs was okay. ended at 12nn and then cheryl and i waited for the canoe trip breifing at 1pm, joined by the rest of the girls ard 12.30 yup..

then i followed taufiq to chinatown to see the cip woman. taa went too. i shouldnt have gone seh. my toe turned purple only afterwards.. =(

okay i shall do something productive now..

yeah.

olivejuice// how's it there?

im missing you already

Cancer
Be with the people who make you happiest today. Even if that requires traveling.

rightt. -takes train to negeri sembilan.

ohwells. day was quite alright.. finally went for trg again.. i rowed k2 with jiaqi and it was pretty good.. rowed 10k before i hadta leave at 9.45 but we capped only once whee! and tt's only because the annoying strange motor boat thing was making hugee waves.. nyeh.

oh and i have a theory about jiaolian. py and i are confirmed t1s. but i get chucked into a k2 if they have an odd no. and py's expected to just train and train in her t1. yupp. gotta trust jiaolian la.. eventho he can be damn mean sometimes tsk.. he's nice enough to me so i shant complain. yar..

i went pasar malam again. bought kebab ayam and ayam percik. im growing fat fat fat. but i like food seh. damn nice. hoho..

so flockey cum basketball carnival with SpoS today was fun.. the kids are really really really very cute laaa. cept tt im not too sure just how old they are.. cos like there was this little boy who was sho cute and he's like 13. =/

so anww, farin and i were like the opponents at the defense station and farin the lazy bum refused to run and kept feeding them free pucks. -.- lol and seeing the old big ppl was interesting, like pong and ms haryani (rmbs 2005 and the crap the rg volunteers got). hrmph but ohwells.

so basically the flockey stations ended in about an hour at 10. and prize presentation was scheduled at 11.45.. lol so basketball stations were still ongoing but alott of ppl were just milling around looking quite bored.. oh i forgot to mention tt towner gardens was infested with rj ppl doing cip.. like ALOT. kinda strange but fun enough la. ame's special friend was assigned to be scorekeeper for our defense station yup..

so anw. we were all bored. we had our packet lunch(which was insufficient) and i went to bug the kids around.. hung around a few kids who wanted to play soccer and then somehow a soccer ball appeared and then the rj guys took over.. =/ so i wandered to the pullup bars with jeanting and then the monkey bars where a brown/black lizard appeared and jt screamed.. haha!

yup then i duno just wandered around and stuffs and ended up back at the pullup bars with farin where i encouraged a group of boys and girls to do pullups.. =D

then wandered to the basketball courts where we played with the kids summore.. oh there were also sports sch ppl and i recognized one of the girls as my pri sch jnr!! hahahaha she was like my best bud's buddy.. hoho! ohkay then blabla took another packet of food blabla then finally walked thru the rain to kembangan mrt.. farin and i are rain stoppers/starters. anti-gravity ftw! oh and i wanna be a mommy!

when i got to cck, i followed farin to buy waffles. then she went off then i went to buy waffles too. haha then i emo-ed at the lib for 2 whole hours. read, slept and read summore. i finished Haunted. went to look for chuck palahniuk's books and found.. Haunted. aper seh! i want more books bah.. right then i went down to buy oreo coffee! and finally nw was free at 5pm. so we went to the pasar malam and i bought alot of food.. and nw bought me water chestnuts cos he loves me yes! everyone should buy me food yupyup!

hmm. im not lovesick. i cant have been lovesick for like 2yrs and 8 months of my life seh. there's a difference between being lovesick and being in love. im in love. not lovesick. im not sick of love. i like love. it makes me.. uh happy. and sad. but mostly happy. and cos the person i love makes me happy. and sad. but mostly happy. but i guess tt's what love is about ryt? i guess. ohwells..

You Are An ENFJ

The Giver You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed. Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections. Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down. You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine. In love, you are very protective and supporting. However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous. At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential. You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist. How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud

What's Your Personality Type?

I've always been ENFP.. so strange..

in any case, i reallyyy need to see a proper doctor who will do something about my back. my back is killinggg me and am currently only on painkillers which is so totally not curing whatever crap tt's happening to my back! GAR! so yar visiting the polyclinic either tmr or wed and then getting a referral for the sports clinic at alexandra hospital yupyup..

i kinda hope it's nothing so'd i can get back to training.. but somehow im also hoping it's something just to show tt i haven't been paranoid all this while and tt i really did hurt my back. cos yeah it really does hurt like crazy..

today i went to look at the canoe board.. lol silly picture of me looking like a buffalo in my t1.. but anw, i got reminded of my personal goals..
t1 2k timing: sub 11:40 mins
and t1 gold

god how am i sposed to achieve tt if i cant even train properly? also, i cant represent the college unless i get a C average.. it's all so frustrating and feel awfully stupid and weak. stupid back. rj makes me feel quite stupid gar

aights let's like mug or something

recuperate

just came back from the polyclinic with a 10day mc from heavyduty activities ie canoeing.
nyeh im sure as hell gonna flab up like crazy.. doc wrote tt i have muscle strain on my back.. but he said some stuffs bout muscle tearing and developing into more/stronger muscles.. =/ i duno he wasnt all tt clear.. but he said canoeing is hardcore and i have very hard muscles hahaha!

anws the past few days have been a whirlwind of activities and im teh shagged.

Batch jln raya 3-4/11/07
was really amazing. haha it really is the best jln raya we've had in years.. the guys really are a fun bunch and they seem way more bonded than us girls who have for the previous years, stuck to our own cliques.. well there are the girls who keep sidling up to the guys and there were the random bunch who just hung out together and i think i managed pretty well without nana the first day cos she couldnt come..

some memorable moments:
1. family shots. haha basically we took group shots of those who wore same coloured clothes. mine was pretty traumatising i must admit but hoho all in the name of fun i guess..
2. makcik canteen! and her amazing baked chicken omg yummy. and khairul leading the doa thing which happened to be the stuff he baca-ed "lepas sholat" =/
3. bus uncle who played along with us in the driving off escapade and his mischievious grin lol..
4. the scarily smart-mouthed little boys at adly's hse.
5. the kitten that got stuck at the gate of the house next to hab's. and taufiq stepped on cat poo.
6. LOL-ing jokes in the bus and the guys' retarded reactions.
7. camwhoring like mad
8. the dudes thumped down the stairs at mairah's house. madness woo!
9. karaoke at taa's. khairul and ain have awesome voices! =)
10. the guys jamming at ari's house. they were really honestly very good. and they were somewhat stripped waist up and hence the girls couldnt enter ari's smelly room, plus it was really smelly in there. in any case, it made me realize tt i wanted to be a boy! so i asked farish whether he'd like to switch bodies, and his reply was, "what's the difference?" ACK.

oh but then taufiq taught me how to drum the first bit of Starlight and it was really difficult but fun! adly and ari claimed tt taufiq took forever to learn anw so i shall take comfort in that haha!

aight forgive me if i forgot anything particularly interesting.

Class chalet! 5/11/07
was unbelievably fun.. i cant believe we actually pulled it off! with it being last minute and all.. THANK YOU longqing for booking the chalet! haha and i was really worried that the food wouldnt come since i only ordered the food on sunday.. got the confirmation call on monday morning itself during trg lol..

ohyes and i planned the chalet without realizing that i had trg monday morning too lol.. so anw after trg, i took a straight bus from bishan to pasir ris int tt took less than 1hr woo! so yar we had lunch at whitesands, only 9 of us then haha.. then we got bubble tea and proceeded to walk to downtown east, stopping for some time at the playground otw.. the huge puddle under the swings! the mad seesaw! the hot slide and the main attraction! *drumrolls.. THE STRANGE SPINNING THINGEY! which left nigel and fungs giddy and pukey haha! i must get yq to send me the vid lol.. yup then we walked to costa sands pasir ris..

checked in, loaned out the bbq pit thing and waited awhile for the cleaning ppl to wrap up before we could put our stuff in the chalet.. then zijian arrived so now we had a ball to play with! so we went to the park outside and the grass was real muddy so we took off our shoes and played soccer at capt ball in the mud hoho! it was really gross at first but we kinda got used to it tho we ended up with only 6 ppl in the end haha..

yupyup got back to the chalet, washed feet and the food then arrived.. then while the dudes attempted to start the fire, i went to shower since i hadnt showered after trg and was getting really stinky.. =/

yup then the bbq was awesomely exciting and we discovered hidden cooking talents in ppl like linda and fiona haha! and fiona has firebreath! and i have great talent in slashing chicken yeahh!=D the food was too much tho oops.. haha after eating, we just sat ard outside singing so many random songs, cheered raffles cheers while choking on the bbq smoke and eventually lost our voices haha! we were like madmen and extremely noisy compared to the bunch of ajc ppl in the chalet next to us haha! yar and royce/nick brought their ps2 and it was funn! me and zr suck at the car racing game haha! okay fine i was worse but tt's cos i wasnt familiar with the controls pfft!

took a nice long walk with na afterwards and then sent off fungs and nigel and jean who returned after showering at home.. =/ dad fetched me at 11 and dropped xinge off at khatib yup..
i love 08S05A.

CIP @ Pertapis children's home 6/11/07
was an eye-opener. it was actually na's cip thing where she's sposed to tutor the bunch of kids there.. smu sucks btw, for initiating the project but leaving it in the lurch by expecting the rj ppl to "expand" the project. tsk.. yup so the turnout for the kids were little and there were too many volunteers, so the station games were abandoned and so the guys played soccer with the boys and the half of the girls played dog-and-bone while the other half were playing polar bear amongst themselves.. after our turn, na and i approached the older girls there, who were training up for a street netball competition next sunday, and we played a friendly match.. the girls were realllyy good and they're pretty cool too.. -nods.. oh but at one time, i jumped and landed on my right foot strange and now i have a damn pain ankle poots..

yup then i took a break so we ventured to the soccer field to watch little iskandar play a penatly shootout with one of the rj guys.. sho cute.

then we moved on to the playground where two small girls were playing.. we played at the monkey bars awhile and then Crocodile when more kids started arriving.. catching.. spun some of the few kids around and around.. etc. those kids are really hyper manz and they were hardly tired whilst na and i on the other hand were dead shagged hoho..

hmm the experience was really fun.. i was scared of the kids at first cos they were all so noisy and rowdy.. they really are quite naughty and i spose the other volunteers weren't as disturbed as i was cos they didnt understand the multitude of malay vulgarities tt the little kids spewed.. i didnt quite understand some of the terms either cos it was mat lingo.. =/

and violent omg they can get so violentt! scolded some of em a few times for their language and actions..

in any case, i think i've done okay enough time with the Special olympics, and they have enough publicity to do well for themselves, so now, im gonna try to do something for the less priveledged kids in the malay society. i know i once said tt i wanted to be an MP, truth be told, i wanted it so tt i can help others And myself at the same time.. but i realize tt im politically-illiterate anw so i'd be quite useless.

ultimately, in the future, i wanna open a daycare or activity centre tt targets the kids of the primary school range, who are left at home while their parents work. i know quite a number of kids get sent off to the various daycares in spore, but these places are usually ex. the kids tt im targetting are those whose parents aren't very well off. left to their own devices, they often mix around with the wrong crowd, learn all the wrong things tt lead to their downfall and get sucked in further into the world which they've grown up i. the kind of life tt i seek to help them break free from. it's so painful to see all these children tt have the potential to live fuller lives, but are unable to see beyond the walls tt they are confined to.

i wish i had more time. more time to help others and do something more worthwhile. something else to worry about other than myself and my grades. but i also have to be aware that if i want to truly do something for these people, i must first get myself somewhere. be someone who has the power to do something more than just simple volunteerism. until then..

okay i shall now rest my back, which is starting to ache bad boos.
