Sporty, Mature or Girl Next Door?

Hi! I'm Miss Sporty. Balls, racquets, bats; you name it, I love it. I love a good workout and I'd like to invite you to join me someday. I'm Miss Sporty."
x12 (not including rehearsals)

That's how many times we had to officially repeat ourselves today at camp. I didn't stay long and I saw quite a bit of familiar faces. It was kinda awkward how the guys entered the rooms through the connecting toilet to where we were and almost every group would ask "Is that all?", or "What's the purpose of this?" at the end of our speech.
S was telling me how this guy made Miss Sporty his choice and he decided to play punk and ask, "YOU SURE NOT?!". It made the rest of them laugh, I would've if I heard it too. =)
And an old OG mate said Hi and identified himself. (Good thing he did cos he looked really different but I also managed to spot his name from his identity tag. MUAHAHA)

Left with S for Tampines after that. Imagine B.oonlay --> Tampines = ZZZZZZZ.
It was really a long journey, my friends who stay in Tampines but not hall are heroes! =)

And all that hassle for Saturday: getting extra jerseys, printing
new sets, getting ball, getting players, settling reg form, waking up early, it was all worth it.

Verrrrrrrrr-monster!
We did it.
We won.

Okay, so it wasn't exactly an official tournament, nor was it the full team but but but we still did it.
And I hope this boosts the team morale, and each player believes in themselves more than they did before.

Sonny couldn't play cos I didn't register her, and permission from the people of higher positions was denied too(: Sorry dear but it was for your own good(:

Watched the boys' u20 matches after YouthInTouch where we saw little girls WITH ABS running. Full-grown abs, like six packs and all. Boy are we embarrassed to call ourselves sports people when we look at these 8, 9 year olds. :\
Dinnered at Newton with my favourite chengteng to end the day(: Yumyums(:

Friday;
Dinnered with the so-called Spare-tyre boyfriend (haha) aka arthurlimjinghui and herngs. Everybody was late so we had very little time to eat :( Caught Personal Effects starring Ashton Kutcher and Michelle Pfeiffer (?). Bad choice of place to watch (Lido omg haha) but pretty good movie. If you're the type with patience for a slow show, or the type who likes artsy films, go catch it. I kinda liked it though the spare tyre was semi-bored and very, very restless(:


PS: SEETOHWEIYANN IS BACK FROM HAMBURG(ER)!! :D

Thursday;
Visited Sonny at home with the new MJ-inspired nose (HAHA) with balloons and gummies(: Made a new friend, NOZZZZY which is a yellow ____________ . (Can't quite decide if it's a cow, dinosaur, ox, or ... ? )
Then friendly over at Dover(:
And dinner at Clementi where we got lost in an unfamiliar area, heh.


Oh life's good again,
But school's starting in a little more than a weeeeeek.

POSTCAMP

Left for camp with a little bit of regret, got through the days hoping for Friday to come quicker.

With very little sleep, (I can count the total hours with my two hands), a lot more disagreements, a lot of hardwork, infinite naggings and lotsa hiccups, we got through the days, we survived.

With a lot of surprise good food (Xinwang porridge on Monday from Chu! Cinnamon melts with Junx and Rah on Tues! Two cups of Koi on Wed + sushi at night from G! More cinnamon melts on Thurs!) But with everything comes sacrifice, I barely ate dinner on certain nights :(

Camp was all about flexibility, and not preparation as somehow, somewhere Log would misplace something, we would run out of blindfolds, we cannot find 4 chairs, etc. At 5am, we were staring at our pre-planned camp schedule and looking into suitable changes to accomodate superstitions and save money.

I had moments of anger, of childish fit where I asked myself: "Why am I the one doing this?"
When people were sleeping, I was up for debrief. Sleeping last and getting rudely awaken the next morning by people who missed debrief.
I had my moments of regret; when things go wrong and I just don't feel like salvaging them anymore. I wanted to leave, just get a breather and let the rest do it.

Ultimately, like I told S. Since I've given my commitment to it, I'd just get it done and over with, to the best of my ability, with all I've got.
In the end when people tell you how much fun they've had, how smooth camp went despite the many last minute changes, the satisfaction is one beyond words.
Just like how it felt after Touch Attack. (:

Thank you everyone for making camp a success.
I've made friends, enemies, changed impression of others and yes, undoubtedly had an awesomely fulfilling 5days 4nights.

Hibernation started yesterday, and it still hasn't ended.

Unpredictable.

I just read an email.
It had KARMA written all over it.
May WORLD PEACE follow after this incident.

****************

Over the weekend, Seniors' camp and Touch Attack happened.
The former took place on Saturday, at Sentosa. Despite the light shower and grey clouds looming, we carried on. We merely played six games with four
groups of very unsupportive, discouraging, RUDE, disobeying SENIORS who totally pissed me off (ok actually only ONE particular CGL) but before we reached the last segment I was already DEAD tired.

I suddenly fell silent and became 90% inactive and needed my name to be called out at least twice before I could respond. Ok, maybe it was the heat + hunger + dehydration + fatigue + angst + preparation that led to that but I'm so gonna die
on the actual camp. 6 days of this. Ohmymama, no wonder my fellow cp decided to sit down and play poker with satay sticks as chips.

Touch Attack on Sunday was crazyrushed. We ran the entire event with ONLY 10 people. And like I said in my emo sms, if I could do it all over again, I'd still choose this 10 people to run the show with me. Because they are the ones that cover one another's asses. They are the ones who will wake up bright and early to come help out. They are the ones who returned to school on a weekend for preparation. They are the ones who effortlessly did the job
of 3 people. They are the ones who, at the end of the day, sit down together with me, and reflect on the day's event.

Though there were many pre-event hiccups, we managed to pull through and it was awesome.
We fell short of our targetted teams by quite a bit but ultimately, finance is just a secondary objective.

Felt really surreal when it was over. How the month-long uncertainty built up to the week-long sleepless nights and intense concentration to do game & ref fixtures.
I will remember how I was crazybusy running up and down from the emcee tables to the three pitches; to play, to ref, or to collate score sheets for updates. I will remember how There's A Fire! gave their 101% in their games and in their sales of food/drinks. I will rememer how DearAshley shook hands and reminded opponents to "Buy our hotdogs". I will remember how yummy the hotdogs tasted! (They were so good I was still thinking of it late that night). I will remember how J.eannette holds a mic, a loudhailer, a stopwatch in one hand while the other lowers the volume of our music. I will remember the damned lightning
alarm and how we had to delay our games. I will remember how XP's math is much better than mine(: I will remember how much sh** A.ngela & Ek put up with know-it-all U20 teams. I will remember how Coach reffed til she had blisters in her feet.

At the end of the day, we received lotsa positive feedback, both from participants and teammates, even coach. And that made everything more meaningful than it already was. Indeed, everyone contributed to the success: my awesome teammates + coach, our awesome sports officer in charge, the participants, the refs.
Thank you all.
My sleepless nights, deteriorating eyesight, endless nagging have paid off.

Dear Yanns also left on Sunday morning for Hamburg and has reported to have landed without her checked-in luggages. But nonetheless, at least you're safe dear! LOVES!


Monday was the legendary Stars wars where my star planner hung and I managed to get a grand total of ZERO core modules. There were absolutely no slots left for any tutorial index and GO had made me call back "5 mins later" when I called.

Eventually managed to get the mods. Like M.ichael says, "seems like such a norm" now since we go through it every fcuking semester. Hur!


Tuesday, Date with Liangshitfavourite before Crabby's Disney-themed 21st!
Wednesday,
Itinerary after training:
-Ice spa with Valley Welly & a Goldfish
-Manicure/ pedicure lavender aromatherapy session with Ms A.ngela Yong
-Facial (with free body scrub & face mask thrown in) with Ms X.in Pei
-Lastly, organic healthy eating lunch with AnneSkinnyGoh
(as quoted from coach's email)
J.eannette and I went shopping; from Wheelock to Shaw to O.rchard central. Heehee
I went home and the heels of my feet hurt so bad :(


An extremely long-overdued meet up with the Bestie on Thursday,
and with the supposedly quarantined Ameliaaaa today!
Where we had sushi and 50 dollah mao shan wang durian!!!!!!!!!



I will keep getting better.

Saturday;
A major frozen yogurt craving led myself to Jco as recommended by JL which tasted ten times better than it looks. The Ahgong wanted to furniture shop so we headed down to Park Mall where we wow-ed at the jacked up prices of H.erman Miller furniture.
Then we celebrated Eugene's 21st with Bbq food, 8-player soccer on a PS3, ice cream cake, and too much beer.
S does a reaally awesome job with instigation which landed himself in the hot seat with Mal. I can't remember who won but I (though not involved in the drinking game) won myself a driver's seat in the Stream later that night because of that.
The game then got modified with coke for Halal friends and chengteng for drivers and 2-year-old vodka with beer as it went on. It even involved school pride, and sexist issues, etc etc.


Sunday;
As usual (for now, but not anymore). Lunch with S and sister at A.ston's, Novena for coffee from Starbucks, picked cousin, picked Daddy, F1/Discovery Turbo at home.
Dinnered at Newton (the cheng teng was so yummy!), caught H.arper's.
And then. Water works.
S was initially confused/slightly frustrated but ended up laughing at the situation.
I don't know if it was to make me feel better about it or because he didn't see the severity like I did. But I hope it's the former.

Woke up bright and early at 730am for training of which the Birthday Girl decided to attend at 2300 the previous night so we couldn't get cake. Coach wasn't around so it was more light hearted and we water breaked longer than our drills. SHH.
Jean and I lunched with Angie before we went up to her room for some cheesecake lovin'. :D
Was so tired I could fall asleep anywhere by 4. :(

CP meeting was slightly awkward but very productive albeit taking more than 3 hours. We tried XinWang Taiwan which was surprisingly pretty good(: Cheaper and better than the HK one anytime(:
We managed to shorten Seniors' Camp to 1 day! Ended just in time with S' training so I joined the boys for dinner at BK with some Mos Iced milk tea(:

Woke up aching entirely today :( And need to start doing up Fixtures. :(
But it also looks like my rushed week is a tinybit more relaxed with Seniors camp shortened by half(:


You don't miss your water til the well runs dry.

Have Heart.

I've had an insane week, bitch fits from the fucking roomie (no, E.li).
The war is now on. Really want to burn her panties, bra, clothes, shoes and things.
Ultimate slut of the century without a doubt. =(

--

Met Yanns and Wenzhen for lunch on Tues. Made the B.ishanclub girl travel all the way to westside B.oonlay for meee. =D Thank you, Yanns. It was short but awesome (as always) nonetheless.

D came over on Wed to save the swollen-eyed Phil with a box of 12pc C.heekychocolates! :D Love you please. And she spent 2 hours doing nothing watching me study. (: Heh
PS: I KNOW HOW TO DO THE P6 MATH QN ALR. HAHAHAH

Then a very silent dinner at Cry.stal Jade... plus An.derson's icecream (not that nice =( )

Ca on thursday was insane. So was the entire day. First W pangsehed us and G was hopping mad.
Training was alllllrightttt, taped both ankles cos I kiasi. Heehee
Then after training there was 445389 missed calls and 324830 messages from the distressed Roomie and bitch C.roomie. Had dinner in a semi-closing canteen and received 3267 more calls cos I forgot about FOC interview (YAY, CP!) and they were waiting for me so I rushed down from Cant2 to CantA without even finishing my food....
(PS: Dinner was pretty agonising having to put through with the conversation......)


Then returned to Room with 1+1+1+1 t.iongs. Buy 1 get 3 free, thanks. Not like I even bought any to start with. And what's worse they fucking wore their shoes in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nabeh CB I SWEAR. I was so so soooo mad, you don't fucking clean the floor yet you bring your friends and wear their shoes in!!!!! Ultimate CBK, I went to speak to the Hall Prof like IMMEDIATELY and refused to return to the room. Waited for Eli to end cheer and we packed and left while the intruder decided to shower. ARGHHH.

N.tl on Friday again, 10-4. Both Capt. Sissy and I agreed we played better last week. Maybe it's the new addition of individualistic players. Oooohwelllssss. Ref-ed the next game, and koped a Jumbo Pack of gummies again. (: Yes, it brings a whole new meaning to the term "Sugar Daddy". Heh.
Had dinner with Ek and Angie at AMK where we listened/shared childhood stories til past midnight without realising. Ultimate.

Finally, bye week for W.tl. Just the right time so we get to rest for SU.niG tomorrow. =)
Finally, bought my new pair of booots! (White and maroon, simple yet pretty. Unfortunately, a nike pair cos nothing else caught my eye)

Ok, dinner time at Bo.takJones. (Super unwilling to waste my time queueing actually.....)

I am so sorry for the excessive vulgarities that reflect so badly on myself but it's seriously beyond toleration!
URGHH. Speaking about it makes my blood boil.

PPS: Still yet to cut hair cut hair!

The Final Word In The Final Sentence Was 'Love'.

When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
I'm done, there's nothing left to show
I try but can't let it go

Brought lappy to 2008's two hour lecture today. Ended up sleeping, surfing and basically doing everything else other than listen. The module looks pretty tough.. =(


Starting to get really really frustrated and worried about it. I know I can't stop whining about it, but I don't really know how to illustrate the severity of the situation either. Haha.



Let's digress and think happy thoughts..... (:

More (favourite) pictures from Fac. Camp:


Still stand by the fact that our shirts KICK ASS though the supplier screwed our base colour.... =(


The Trojan People;


we were supposed to hide behind the flag la. But W spoilt the picture.
