game after game after game as if As doesnt start in 34 days..
hari raya in 4 days! lol eventhough na thinks there's no point celebrating, what with As looming, the hari raya spirit is still very infectious, especially in a house where preparations are really quite imba. mom sews, makes kuehs, and omg heavenly cooking the day before raya. new curtains, new furniture, new clothes! and dad just bought the ketupat leaves so i'll probably start making em soon. and the radio that plays hari raya songs.. ahwell even if we cant enjoy it as much this year, i can still enjoy the wonderful foods and people will come over and give me money either way. so heh happy.. (:

stuffed
haha this morning during sahur, i somehow thought of the malay legend, "batu belah batu bertangkup":
In the story, a widow catches a tembakul fish after a hard day’s work of toiling in the fields. In the manner of those who know that delay and anticipation will sweeten the enjoyment of a trophy, she cooks the fish roe and sets aside three rations: two for each of her children, and one for herself. She goes out of the house to collect some fresh shoots.
When she comes home, she finds out that her son had demanded and eaten her share of the roe. Something in her snaps. At night, she tosses and turns in her bed, and hears the call of the phantasmal rock, Batu Belah Batu Bertangkup, swallower of suicides. It tells her: ‘You never managed to eat your roe because as much as you desired it, it never desired to be eaten by you. This is the way of the world: what we desire to touch have no desire to be touched by us. But I am your death and I have longed for you since you were born. And now all I ask for is that you have the same longing for me.’
True enough, she runs off to answer the rock’s beckoning, with her children in desperate pursuit, but their pleading voices are drowned by the voice of the rock. She stops only once to leave behind a ration of breast milk for her son, in a funnel fashioned from a big leaf, and flees deep into the rock’s bosom "
sounds pretty silly lol! and omg the son's a brat lah and you commit suicide, leaving children to grow up as orphans? lol plus the story was made into film, so im wondering how they acted out that last bit, where she gave her son 'fresh milk'.. hmm plus another site said that she was pregnant at the time, which explains why she had milk i spose, so yeah i think she was probably just suffering from an early onset of postnatal depression hmm..
in other news, dinner with nazri yst was very nice.. (:
we went to pray at the mosque first cos i made reservations for 7.30 yup.. anw sakura at orchard's pretty nice.. the location's strategic i guess, eventhough the view's not that awesome.. but most importantly, the food was good yay! nazzer claims that i ate more than him meh!
1) mussels, chicken.. etc Vs. pizza slice, lots of sushi
2) fried stuffs and otah Vs. fried stuffs and otah with rice
3) mushroom soup Vs. laksa
4) lamb chop Vs. lamb chop
5) sushi Vs. jap noodle thing
6) fruit & crab salad, pasta
7) fake shark fin soup
8) 2 squares of oreo cheesecake Vs. 1 square of oreo cheesecake
and i drank 4 cups of drinks, which he kopped most of.. okay fine so maybe i ate more, but he had lotsa sushi and rice, which was why he was too full to eat more. yes..
oh btw sis was having dinner with her friends there too, which was pretty lol.. she wanted me to wait for her to go home together.. walked ard cine with nazzer for half an hour but sis wasnt done still so we went home yup.
haha so exciting ryt?? =/
better spam econs now..
oh dad asked who i went out with last night.
i pray for the day where i wont have to lie bah..

nightly activities
trip to malaysia yst was superbly awesome.. the shopping was ohkayy.. only bout a pair of sexy red heels lol.. the best part was of course post-buka yay! the food escapade went as planned, cept that we didnt go to the ice cream place cos everyone was too full.. little sisters and i got mudpie mcflurry tho so it's okay.. (:
ohyes and 9 more fasting days yay! so far i've managed to do terawih every night cept for those days that i cant.. and tahajud in the morning, hopefully until the last day of puasa.. and im beginning to realize why my granma and all the other old ladies around me during hari raya prayers always cry on such a joyous occasion hmm..
anw got this forwarded email from dad.. we discussed the scenario in rg for philo but i dont rmb what the verdict was.. =/
a group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.
The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of thekids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends whochose to play where the danger was.
This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest ofthe majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not toplay with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover,that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers onboard at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the rightone.
Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.
interesting. kay neopets then econs! =D

girls
the problem with having only girls in the house and no brother is that when a lizard or any other horrendous creature makes its way into the house, you get a hell lot of screaming.
but the lizard was so fat and disgusting wtg! and it appeared on the wall next to the com i was using.. ): and im always the one who's expected to get rid of these things, since im the one closest to being a guy bah. and even then, when i do pick up the courage to approach the vile creature, it'd mostly end up like this:
-poke.
screams all around.
what a bunch of sissies girls are
OFF TO FOOD PARADISE NOW

party now mug tmr
so prelims is finally FINALLY over. god that felt like forever manz.. worse still, As is gonna cover up to 3 weeks, somewhat.. so painful bah..
uh anw dont think i did too well lah.. prolly better than ct2 but still pretty awful i think.. haha and As countdown: (including today, which is pretty much gone hoho) 42 days. give me a 'S' 'C' 'R' 'E' 'W' 'E' 'D', what dyou get? SCREWED. yup thaaaaat's ME! (: -sigh.
oh been trying to amuse myself by putting a piece of bluetack, (which i found on my table during my first paper) under my ic, in hope that the teacher would pick it up but none of them did.. ):
post-prelims partying was fun.. h1 physics end 15mins earlier so i dragged na to comlab to play.. *drumrolls* NEOPETS! hahaha omg im addicted again, so terrible! and co-camp ic dude's addicted nao too apparently, so we're like soulmates omgg.. haha and sharan commented on my facebook, "omg i thought i was the only idiot out there!" but know what, there's nothing wrong with neopets, it's like a totally hip & happening scene! not like msbimbo or kingdomofloathing.. -shifty eyed.. HAHA!
so anw, played bball with the class dudes, guys mostly & sharynmelamepris.. OMG i want to complain! it's so horrible that the guys treat me differently from the Other girls, ie. melamepris, cos like they NEVER attack/mark those girls and like totally give them chance lah! and sharyn and i are treated like like MEN. i mean, i think it's fine and very awesome actually that the guys have no reservations bout playing a fair and exciting game, esp with the way they treat the other girls (echoing their squeals O.o, and maintaining a safety radii around them, (how to play bball like that??) but of course this didnt apply for prischun.. -.-) ahwell but i spose the female in me would think that being acknowledged as a girl once in awhile, would be a nice change..
hmm we played with a bunch of random boys as well.. oh yes and some boys just refuse to pass the ball, it's so frustrating! then half the time, they cant even dribble properly and lose the ball before even reaching the other half of the court! my theory is that boys are possesive with their balls, cos of their male ego, and also cos it's like a symbol of their manhood, ie. in control of their balls. i mentioned this to one of the guys, but i forgot who, and he figured that it's possible.. im so smart! =D
jeffrey had a little accident with royce's rockhard head (which is filled with all the smarts, no wonder so hard) and hadta be rushed for medical assistance.. =// hope he's alright now..
dinner with FariNa and melz was fun.. met them at bk @ ps, where i didnt actually spend on food, only a big gulp and finished na's burger.. we then trooped over to arab street where we intended to get morrocan food but decided that we were actually quite full.. lol then took a longgg walk to suntec/marina square then na & i went home..
exciting account of my exciting day yup.
KAY NEOPETS NAO :)))

pms
a few things i learnt about myself this week:
1. i really cant stand ppl with no tact, or see no need in being tactful. and hurts others in the process, even if it's not intended to. i dont mean that people should avoid saying some things just so that they would not hurt the person. im all for honesty, but yeah just know how to say things right la. idiots. (this is a general observation)
2. i simply cannot have proper conversations. partly cos of my bad grasp of well, words, and my lack of having anything interesting, entertaining or in any way important to talk about. i get the feel that people around me, would rather move on to the next person. maybe next time my conversations should go like this, "oh Hi. it's okay, you can go talk to him/her now"
3. i realize that i really hate ppl thinking that im stupid. i really really do. and i can fucking tell if you think im dense la, gar. what i lack in iq is prolly made up for in eq. okay that was a rather pompous comment hoho.
4. i am too bloody sensitive. i read too much into actions, words, expressions and get all worked up and this affects my productivity alott. i feel too much in general, i think. seriously, i should've been a boy. boys feels alot less, dont they? =/
5. i wish i was a boy.
6. if you asked me which year in my 18yrs of living, i'd be happy to be stuck in, i'd say 2005, when i was in sec3 and 15. that year was awesome cos of:
a. ob spore
b. perbayu drama
c. nazri and the whole falling in love thing
d. ob sabah
e. om
f. sis said my figure was nicest that year
though there are of course a few things i could do without, like:
i. specs course and embarrassing myself so bad
ii. feeling like a total failure when i found out i wasnt selected for snr specs
iii. the trials and tribulations of an unapproved relationship
7. im looking at people differently nowadays and becoming less accepting of their flaws.
plus i cant wait to get out of stifling relationships and get to know new people. i wanna reach out and connect, but i want to do so on a brand new slate. it sucks when you start to have to think around people you'd usually be fine around. or when you cant shake the feeling that they'd rather not be around you and that you're just a stopgap before someone more entertaining comes along
life sucks.
on a brighter note,
i've managed to satisfy most of my cravings/food loves just before the fasting month starts on monday. so far i've had: swensens' mega burger, bubble tea, fries & apple pie from macs, kfc chicken meal, lambchop, anatolia beef doner, yami yogurt tropicana peach, Royals' oreo cheesecake, rambutan, stall 11 food haha and hopefully tmr i can get my takoyaki from jp banquet and Javachip venti from starbucks. (:
i think the reason why i love food so much is because it's always there for me.. hmm.
went out for na's birthday outing today with the usual dudes. anatolia and just talking was fun.. then pretending to be taufiq on the phone was entertaining too. then we went to lan for an hour and played counterstrike, which i maintain is still a horriblehorrible game. no wonder kids nowadays are becoming more violent. but still, the short bouts of cheap thrill was, well, thrilling. oh and wtf ew taufiq wore my pants. D:
gp prelims was okay. essay was pretty good i thought. but i think i screwed compre. sigh
we made shirts for the teachers for teachers' day. a bunch of us designed it and linda printed it and passed it to me yst morning to iron on. they look pretty darn good, im proud of us. (:
27/08/08- Happy 41st, love. here's to more months/years together ahead.. =)

i liked this one best haha:
haha the end bit is Lol and oh-so-adorable.. (:
anw i received this, 'speech to the graduating class of 2008 at NTU convocation ceremony last week by Adrian Tan, a litigation lawyer and the author of The Teenage Textbook' in my email and i quite liked this bit
Rather, I exhort you to love another human being. It
may seem odd for me to tell you this. You may expect it to happen
naturally, without deliberation. That is false. Modern society is
anti-love. We've taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their
flaws and shortcomings. It far easier to find a reason not to love someone,
than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason.
Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work– the only kind of work
that I find palatable.
Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration,
learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word,
we call happiness. In loving
someone, we become inspired to better
ourselves in every way. We learn the truth
worthlessness of material things. We celebrate
being human. Loving is good for the soul
Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also
important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love
doesn't happen by chance,
at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows
slowly, sinking roots first before branching and
blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.
You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the
face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important
than the heart.
You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love
is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is
to inspire you.
Finally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it
comes to loving someone. You either don't, or you do with every cell in
your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology.
It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.
eh so long. =//

fat
need to go on a diet. eating less would definitely be very difficult for me but owells shall try eating healthier stuff. and it's about time i hit the gym, flabs everywhere's starting to gross me out ack.
kitchen and toilet at home have been bombed. went to check out the damage last night and got damn shocked. looked like a scene from a horror show. raw untiled walls and floor and mounds of sand. teh freaky!!
right okay Sat, dad had work so sisters and i went to watch the ndp fireworks ourselves cos littlest sister looked so disappointed, poor thing. anw yeah damn good view of the water shows and fireworks right in front, plus starbucks right behind yay good life..
Sunday- mugged at home but very sloww. Summation took up a hell lot of time gar..
Monday. went out with nazzer in the morning, where he took very long and alott of persuading to finally agree to fetch me home after his jamming session. but then me being the totally understanding girlfriend (hahaha) decided to mug at natl library instead, where i'll be nearer to his jamming studio. walked the long botanic gardens route, which isnt all that fun anymore somehow. =/ nazzer fed me spaghetti that he half cooked. =//
finally finally made it to natl lib but i knocked out for 30mins before i got down to productive UN mugging. (:
then nazzer fetched me home.
im damn emo and i think too much bout the silliest things how? D:
oh 8/14 of the 5a girls were having relationship discussion/consultation during break just now.. one word: LOL.
ah right another LOL-ing thing. I is Ms Hot Bod nominee. D: argh what a joke, i hope teammates will at least vote for me since they're putting me through this in the first place.. Deborahtan is Hotbod nominee too, but she's pretty at least so she'll get quite some votes. know what, it's sad and kind-of embarrassing to be considered "hot" because of our manly attributes. ah wth..
ahwell whoever's reading this entry better vote too. -glares and cracks knuckles. sigh..
olivejuice// cheers to a very special relationship..

look where we are
we've come so far,
and there's still a longggggg long way to go~!
i think i still like that natl day song best lol..
yst was a super long, draining and maddd day.. started with gp in the morning, where ms soh decided that i was incapable of successfully attempting a certain essay qn. was rather insulted owells.. then lessons continued, break-less till 3pm including gp and ihist rem. then right after tt i hadta send class pictures to whoever for the farewell video montage thing. then chiong gp essay..
finally finally had free buffet dinner at 4.30! took two plates of noodles, 5chicken drumlets and lots of fishball! :D and na helped me buy starbucks whee! then jean and i rushed our essays till 6 plus hoho..
only approx half the class sat together for the natl day concert boos! ohh and it rained so they hadta use the hall instead of the $10,000 stage at the stadium.. O.o ahwell.. concert wasnt too bad.. promethean ceremony was ohkay cept that i screamed for canoeing when the ppl ard a relatively quiet area, which was pretty embarrassing.. emcees were rather -.- but vadi was lovee "i need to take care of my goat. bekk", performances were not bad i guess, but the gym collaboration thing was awesomeeee! but of course, highlight of the day was community singing, as usual.. funny how there wasnt really a need for the lyrics on the screen when practically everyone remembers the words to pretty much all the natl day songs.. effective nationalistic propaganda, yo. the dudes were fun to sing with haha! and yes, am gonna go clubbing with zijian, the closet patriot, and request for natl day songs only cos we know which parts of the song to jump to lol! i wasnt drunk, really.
bummed awhile in the canteen with FariNa and melz.. dad fetched farin and i afterwards yupp..
and heh using the many lightsticks that somehow ended up going home with me, i made this:
lol.
we had thursday timetable on wed so sch was pretty slack.. wanted to donate blood with sharyn after sch and even tried to get the rest of the class to go as well.. so anw after waiting for approx 30mins, and only a the 2nd station ie medical checkup, i got bloody rejected zomg! cos i ticked yes for "have you had something something, chestpains etc before?" and the doctor insisted i go for a checkup before i can ever donate again. eventho i insisted it wasnt serious, and that i was a canoeist. ): sharyn got rejected too, at the final blood-sucking station cos they couldnt find her vein.. -.- ahwell we have a date next year to go donate blood, hopefully, lol! so yeah didnt get coolios bandage but somehow managed to get my oreos cos i told the organizers tt i needed comfort food to soothe my disappoinment. lol it worked at least.. then mugged at lib with FariNa till ninee..
only did maths today, so sloww..
haha i thought wenchun was kidding when he said he put the video up on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lQLcmtZmqk

the art of conversation
is something i am yet to master i think.
i feel inadequate and stupid and pointless. -sad.
so napfa today was pretty interesting.. napfa with priya's very entertaining.. (: kay got all As cept for sit-and-reach, which i got B for, which is an improvement from last year's C la i guess.. 46 ipulls, 40 situps(i stopped at 40 cos i got bored haha! plus i couldnt stand the sensation of having my tummy fats squishing), 10.5 shuttlerun, 203 sbj.. degen-ed muchly for some of em, no more 50ish ipulls and HAHA 2.4 was da bomb. i couldnt get out of the run despite complaining bout my back, which REALLY was hurting after 5 items but the woman wouldnt excuse me! ): py didnt the run with me cos her rashes were acting up again..
oh i made a folder in my mp3 player called 'NAPFA 13minutes' and added the following songs:
1) About you now
2) Can you hear me?
3) How far we've come
4) Lemon tree (techno remix) HAHA!
fast songs yeah, and the last song is definitely the bestest song to listen to when you're sprinting.. TECHNO FTW! lol..
ohyeah 13.10 for 2.4, which was roughly the timing i did in sec1, ie degen! running to music is pretty fun.. (=
went for nazri's council handover thingey yst after convincing taufiq to go.. though he claims that i used my feminine wiles on him.. but i didnt. =/
so anw, we were late for the ceremony, and entered the lt when the goh was giving his speech.. nazzer darling looks super super cute in the blazer, but his camwhore pictures in the video montage thing were cringe-worthy yup.. the reception was awesomeee! then we were couldnt go for the college tour cos we were still eating, so nazzer took us on a personal tour, which was rather entertaining.. i was feeling very sociable so i pretended to be the socialite girlfriend and engaged in friendly banter.. (: what was most amusing was when a girl in nazzer's committee came over to say hello.
she said: "Hi, im Nazri's head", to which i replied, "Oh so nazri has two heads?" taufiq thought it was hilarious. ahwell but her reaction was priceless though, too bad nazzer didnt catch that.. oh and she gave me a hug. O.o haha!
omggz and nazri's such a man-slut. there were like a million girls going up to him, when i was just next to him. luckily i refrained myself from beating them up.. jealous gar gar! -cracks knuckles..
we did chinese calligraphy for assembly yst tho as part of racial harmony week.. the china woman was pretty nervous and we tried to be encouraging.. however, after drawing the mandatory word a few times, everyone started painting random words in various languages (racial harmony ftw!) and i specialized in jawi/arabic text.. i wrote "siti hasyimah sayang nazri" in arabic on one sheet but i didnt get to show it to him yst.. ): then the class lovebirds were being mush-freaks (haha what's new..) so they gave me a chinese word for 'love' to draw.. exciting!
lol otherwise uneventful week la.. unless you count the two slices of yummy oishi pizza i had for lunch today, which i bought for 1buck each from their booth for racial harmony week.. yup exciting..
omg wait i almost forgot. my youngest sister fell down the stairs in school on tuesday.. that skinny bugger somehow got a huge baluku at her ankle and got her foot bandaged and is walking about with crutches zomg! JEALOUS! i always wanted crutches of my own.. D:
hmm post-nats team dinner was sposed to be tmr, but got postponed to next friday.. in order to force deb to wear a dress, all the girls have to wear dresses too.. -.- i thought compulsory skirt-wearing last year was bad enough.. =/ anyone my size with a dress to lend?
origins of cold war full essay to finish by tues, gp essay to finish by monday.. i hate writing..
gonna do maths now. (ohh yes, LIMBAY THINKS IM DISCIPLINED HAHA!)

i've decided to settle for sony ericsson w760i despite having been adamant bout getting a motorolla razr 2v9. function over looks, yes. ): ahwell hopefully the offer's still on..
i dont think i mug very well with ppl.. but i can only meet nazzer once a week, and our time should be best spent mugging. then howww? D:
3yrs plus together and i think we've grown very comfortable with each other..
that's not a bad thing ryt?
lol i still do love you very much though.. MUST TAKE MORE PICTURES KAY!
i fear dying, and the death of loved ones and the ppl around me.
i think i'd be devastated even if certain unmentionable 'quirky' people committed suicide.. wouldnt everyone be?? O.o
i've been eating much too much ack
olivejuice// yesh you.

emo post
yupp i've finally decided to blog bout non-race-ish nats and post-nats.
firstly, i have to say that i lovelovelove teammates and sleeping/zen-ing in the tent prior to races is really quite fun.. i rmb getting scolded by deb/ge for talking too much before our k4 races cos we're sposed to focus.
okay woops maybe i should've blogged earlier cos my memory's getting quite fuzzy already.. =/
oh but i do rmb clearly, before my semis, when gaby and i were the last to race on thursday(my race was at 3.20) and so it was just the two of us in the tent. and we'd try to sleep but im pretty sure gaby was rather nervous bout her race too. then we'd sit up near the opening and watch the races, and i told gaby that i didnt know if i can get t1 gold, and she said "dont worry, you can do it". or something like that. and she let me read her notebook of inspirational quotes, which she compiled herself. i liked most of em, but i especially liked this one:
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It is an option. Impossible is not a declaration. It is a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

yup, and yeah i must must say tt im extremely proud of gaby, eventhough she didnt make it to semis cos her fighting spirit is really imba. and she lent me her notebook that night for my finals, and it really did help me alot. (:
the last day of nats was pretty emo. my race was last and i was quite bummed by the outcome. i went a little nuts, convincing myself that it really was all good, and i had the konyaku jelly drink thing that jiaqi bought for me, which i suspect had been spiked. half of the girls were calculating the possible scores of all the girls' teams outside of the tent, while the rest of us were having some mass orgy in the tent. =/
anw it was a veryy emo tent. everyone was kinda lost in their own worlds, and i cried again bout missing 3rd by abit. sore loser hoho.. then i left the tent cos the atmosphere was too disturbingly emo and convinced jiaqi to visit the toilet with me. we got stalled by jp who told us to cheer for sji. so we did, and it was very odd haha!
award presentation. training right after nationals is crazy. and training when the award ceremony is ongoing is rude. and i think i'd happily settle for 4th if it means being able to celebrate it with teammates.. *random.
rafflesrow is a total camwhore team. nats debrief by the capts of 2007 & 2008 was good.. i should stop laughing at eugene's inspirational moments.. jarius's speech was so sincere and we all think he's very sweet aww..
then we did that 'ceremonial hand-over' thing where the entire j2 team stands in one line and the j1s form a line too and they go down the row to shake hands/hug/convey well-wishes to the j2s. we did it last year too, and i rmb the j2 guys mostly telling me how huge my arms were.. ): this year, alot of the j1 guys and girls were telling me how my race was inspiring.. lol i never thought of myself as inspiring, so it was pretty shocking haha..
zomg then michelle tried to piggyback selene up monkey hill and it was quite failure.. michelle fell flat on her front, (ouchouchouch) and selene rolled over and skinned her knee. so i piggybacked her all the way to the toilet to get it cleaned. (im an ambulance just like mary yay!)
Macritchie's Next Top Model(MacNTM) was LOL! smouldering looks and sexy poses and canoeing do not equate nopenope.. but meera and prav think their poses are da bomb so hahah okeh. =D
then ge and i went to py's hse to shower before team dinner. ge says it's the best way to end nats and i agree.. pltnmates forever! love!
then we were late for dinner at bugis. seoul garden was spammed with crescent canoeists so we ate at Happy Pay Steamboat lol.. it wasnt halal, non-vegetarian plus py was having rashes so she had to stay away from seafood, so py, meera and i had our own food spree! (2 sausages, 1 prata sausage and rootbeer float for me) and guilt-free rootbeer float is loveee! omg and we were so super sleepy and high and we were mad. then we had to fetch jiaqi, who was late cos she was having soup at home, (O.o) and we went for our food adventure. py and i kept making fun of the way meera ran and likened her to a rhino. and they didnt have clam chowder at lj so i bought thai coconut, which meera agrees is heavenly!
we were still mad as we walked back to Happy Pay steamboat and my shirt said "TEAM AFFLES" cos py thoughtfully covered the R and meera was showing off her flathead cos she could balance the bottle on her head. then py was still calling her a rhino so she got depressed and sat by the side of the road and looked like a drunkard with a 1.5l ice lemon tea bottle. and she tried to convince us that it was very comfortable there but we didnt believe her.
we were still mad when we reached the steamboat place as we recounted to the totally happening table,(which got even more happening after we left) our exciting food adventure.. yup then i felt drained and sat limply at the table and kennedy asked if i was okay, which i was somewhat. then daddy fetched me at 10.30.
exciting.
hmm im not too good with words, so i shant bother summing up the entire nats experience.. i think deb captured it pretty well in her lj yupp.. ahwell basically, i think we've trained hard and fought hard.. we rowed with no regrets and we should be proud of ourselves and what we've become, and i love my teammates very much. though im glad to not have to suffer anymore 2k timings or monkey hills etc, i'd still miss macritchie and training together with the 13 other girls. canoeing gave my jc life a purpose, and the experience and priviledge of being in the team is something i would treasure for a long time to come..
RafflesRow ftw
nazzer sweetheart darling got me a red remote-controlled car yay! he was sposed to get me a big bigg box of chocolates for missing All my races but he got me something better instead.. (: REMOTECONTROLLED CARS PWNZ CHOCOLATES wooh! the guys want a boyfriend too cos they want rc cars haha! they think im lucky.. haha~!
oh the car's very durable. it's got only two cracks on the hood so far, after all it's been through.. lol and i've decided to name it Mary! =))
aight enough time-wasting, im off to the library now to do summore maths..
