Just Like Rainbows
Well, if you haven't already heard, exactly a week ago, we were defeated.
Yes, we lost S.unig and we took home a silver medal last night.
First, and hopefully the last.
It was painful and hard to accept but we can only look ahead and prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead.
So. Cheesy. But. True.
In preparation for S.unig we actually had a couple of friendlies of which we really did kick ass. Just three days before the actual compy we played rpee boys and actually won the first 15 mins 3-1. =) Pretty damn proud of ourselves and I know we are capable of so much more.
Fear always gets in the way, be it INTIMIDATION or basically just the fear of failure.
We just have to overcome it- it's a mind game.
So last night wrapped up this disappointing season- we laughed over the lack of goodlooking boys, over the idea of girl-on-girl, over sensitive weight issues (skinny sitting next to fatty), and had a good time sharing food and taking pictures. =)
And I practically spent my recess week solely doing Touch related stuff and learning about risk in two consecutive days. Need to catch up on lotsa work now! :(
I also caught Uglytruth(: which was really awesome.
And the 7days that just passed were basically spent on getting over our loss, picking ourselves up again, (trying to) pay attention in school, doing assignments and projects and setting our lives back in order, for mine is sure messed up.
Spent Mon night with Jiels and Jeannette over indianfood (yums) after which Jiels and I detoured to M.SElab to get some work done! I still believe it was a bad choice cos she was so fascinated and distracted with our kickass facilities. Tsktsk (:
Finally got a call from I.mre for interview on Tuesday morning(:
And thanks Jiel for going home to get formal pants for meee! *road rice love!
Felt awfully sick on Wednesday- the no-mood-to-think-no-strength-to-chew kinda mood so I didn't have much lunch but thank you CARAMEL(!) for the bakerzin cakes. =)
Trained with the newbies later in the day and am very proud of baby who scored many many =) We were also made to run 22minutes non stop in weird and nonsensical shapes and orders.
Rushed home and woke up bright and early on Thursday for the interview.
Of course, not forgetting I sprayed my hair BLACK. (which led to lotsa funny reactions, I wonder why) Anyhow the interview was kinda awkward, cos she asked really funny questions and she was really awkward which made me feel really awkward too, so hmm. But it was nice to meet a familiar face in a completely unfamiliar environment (+condescending receptionist! tsk) so good thing I met Choonyeow and we grabbed lunch before heading back to school.
Took me close to 3 washes the first time to get most of the hardened hair spray out and spent the rest of the day catching up on sleep, then heading to class. 05 meeting after which then... the much anticipated XLB BUFFET with the jc pallies. (:
Our steamboat had "themes" each time the food was served- Meat pot, vegetarian pot, Mushroom pot, etc.
We ate til we could pop(: Spontaneously decided to walk back to hall from Pioneer station which took me longer than expected and left my legs more tired than they'd been in a while.. Hmmmmm.
Friday was.. Friday. Had home hall cooked pasta and steak for lunch. Yummy Yummy. And a personal escort from lesson to hall and back to lessons again. Aww(:
My very lovin parents came to pick me up cos I was dying. :(
Today; we played together with P.ollypockets as Trans.formers in rainbow jerseys(:
The rainbow on the jersey really makes one feel happier cos of the colours. SERIOUSLY.
Anyhoo, we had a good fun time even though I barely knew half the team but they're a great bunch of people (and players). The only highlight of the event was the finals- we wasted lotsa time due to injuries (ouch :( poor Siti dislocated her elbow) so it was a draw 1-1 on the horn. We scored during sudden death within the first 6 touches and then opponent scored back at us within their first 6 touches. We had lotsa opportunities after that but just couldn't finish it. :( So we lost in the end, but it was still really fun. =)
Am now sunkissed and really tired. Lotsa work to dooo so I'm gonna give my first Road Relay training later a miss. Heh
Here's to a better week ahead; with more team love, birthdays and buffet to come!
