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!

It's Not Always Rainbows and Butterflies.

Recess Week;Met my Mrsdarcy alot to slackshopeattalk and just be around each other.


Had an extremely wet Saturday where we played in the rain and took breaks when the rain stopped. Headed down to Th.omson to look for D dearest (If you see this, are you ok!!!!???)
and had an unintended stayover at H.ave8. =\
Church on Sunday where I had my motherfingkillercramps so I spent the entire Sunday in bed and missed the gathering at Syl's place =(


CP meeting on Monday, almost everything is done now except a few minor changes and little things to confirm with extenal companies. Really really looking forward to camp, though it is going to be super tiring on us. =) Dear Mrsdarcy was 45mins too late, and the next thing we knew, we were running across overhead bridges, running after buses so as to not be late for S' game. (which they lost and it was pretty wasted)


Woke up earlyearly on Tues for Manufacturing meeting. And everybody was L-A-T-E! >=(
But here's what happened:

(The previous night)
P: "G can you wake me up at 8 tomorrow please! It's so late already and I'm scared I'd oversleep."

(The next morning)
P: "Good morning! I'm awake!"
G: "Wah seems you woke earlier than me."
.
.
.
.
G: "I just showered. I think I will leave my house at about 830 :)" --> I remember the smiley.
P: "Aren't you gonna be SOOOOOOO late? My dad's sending me there"
G: "Wah shit."

It was really quite funny. =)

Had Kui.shimbo buffet for lunch with S and caught He's just not that into you as recommended by Yanns but we didn't like it! :(
Rushed off for training cos it ended later than expected. Good thing the Bff was around the area too (: And training was, wet wet wet once again. Hate the sun, but also hate the rain around evening times.
McD. for supper cos I skipped dinner. Hrmmmm.

It was a really ordinary day for a special one, it felt just like any other normal day which shouldn't have been the case. =( Was a tad bit disappointed, and sad. But... oh well. It just says alot.

Wednesday; Bao meetup was cancelled due to last min pangsehs and mia cases. Vivoed for lunch and got Boost juice(: Yay, yay. Headed back to school only to find out training is cancelled =( so we KFCed for lunch and caught Slumdog.

Studied more with Penguin dearest on Thursday and left for home at night.
(Supposed to) study more with Mrsdarcy on Friday but we got distracted in Town and started retail therapying. =) And and and, I had my Starbucks fix(:
Met the boysss (Ahgong and fellow #8!) who bullied us over dinner; They brought us for Jap food at some kickass restaurant whose menu is entirely in Japanese and they refused to help us. Headed to B.arstop (nice place(: ) after that though! For drinks and to catch up. And we revisited The Blue Hole, which btw, looks different?


Saturday was disappointing. The sun was scorching hot, and I felt more lethargic than I normally did. Probably cos I didn't sleep well =( And we lost the only game I wanted to win so badly. Oh wellllll. Had 100+ at the coffeeshop with Syl and felt a little like Uncles who have beers and peanuts. Missed lunch cos I just didn't have the appetite.
Was asked over for a birthday celebration which was pretty cute(: 


Slept with a fulltummy and woke up feeling really sick on Sunday :( Cabbed to Tan.jong together with the rest of the team and allowed ourselves to get burnt. Felt this year's S&S wasn't as fun as last year's tooo. =( It poured as expected (just as we were leaving so we still got soaked anyway) and had awesome tomyam noodles for dinner and slept from 7 til 1030pm. OMG :|


So now, back to school.
Hate it as usual, but at least it keeps you going.

A Long Time.

I'm really tired of travelling, from home to school and school to home.
From hall to hall, room to room.
Why do I have a feeling this will just go on til the last week of the sem?


Recess week is over, just like holidays past with the blink of an eye.
I'd say it was .... blissful. With achievements, good news, and lot of love from all corners.


One midterm CA down today, three more to go.

I have 9 minutes to do this.


(taken by The Cool Squatter one random afternoon; part of the farm)


A week later after recess week, I decided to blog proper about it.
Basically, I spent my first four days travelling to and fro from school, sucking up the credit in my EZlink. (Can you imagine? Spending 30bucks solely on public transport in less than a week!)

Ecomm meeting on Monday at Carls Jr cos the boys wanted that. EEW. Brudder and I shopped a little ; HAPPY =D Came back to school for CAB meeting, watched (pirated) Juno that night.
It's nice, but a little over rated.

Spent the day in school with Geri on Tues, headed home for dinner, went back to school Wed afternoon for training, stayed the night with Prison Break.
We attempted studying after dinner, but I guess the Teevee somehow enticed me more than my notes, and there wasn't wireless around so the lappy was effectively useless.

Met DING (inserts lotsa hearts) for dinner in Town on Thursday, Baby V popped by as a surprise(: Too bad I was too worn from the week I couldn't spend as much time as I wish we could with D. =( I like how we end up walking aimlessly around town, hand in hand, with loving silences in between our conversations.
And after reading your offline msg yesterday, I wouldn't deny you've voiced out my worry all along. But we both know we love each other so much, too much. (: So don't worry D, once a month all right? (: I hope you don't start school soon... =((

(to be continued, off to meeting!)
(okay! Back after 2343 after shower too)

First March was basically spent, rushing. Rushing from Club match to Town to Vch, to Tanjong Pagar. Had Macbreakf in the morning(((: Craving satisfied! =D
And wee played Toki.Tima aka Kehui/Wenhui's team in the afternoon. Basically got screamed at so so so damn badly, got stung by a bee at the start of second half, effectively played only the very last (say, 3?) minutes of it. My hands really have a mind of its own, sometimes no matter how prepared I am, the ball just slips through it like sand through my fingers.
Frustrating? Very.


Rushed back to rush down for Leeh's concert at VCH where we were too tired we started falling asleep. It wasn't too bad a concert I guess(: Sat down at Timbre's for less than half an hour before Angie and I rushed down to Bianco for Post Ivp. We weren't exactly keen, so we didn't stay for long, but I guess we had fun while it lasted, especially watching people dance infront of mirrors.
Suppered with Timsum cos, DOUJIANG YOUTIAO IS MISSING.
This is a calamity, so if you do know where it has relocated to, please tell me =(


Surviving only on 3hours of sleep, I went for service, travelled down to Vivo to meet The Old Man, Arthur, Mrs Darcy and Shaun for lunch. JAPFOOOOD =D
Rushed back home (again, all this rushing seriously consumed more energy than training).
Barely spent more than 2, 3 hours with the bunch, I felt so bad =(
Plus, I was so angsty/bitchy. HAHAAH

And then it was reality check- back to school =(
Had a short run with my two fake roomies last night, and a pleasant surprise amidst the run.
Who on earth gets surprises during a run? Haha. But then again, it was totally unplanned. (:

Today, today, we watched an extremely mindfucking movie during imprisonment.
I swear I was totally mindfucked I felt so damn brain dead after 95mins. ZZZZ


Quoteunquote myself after dinner today: "As much as I've had a damn tiring week, I think it went good."

"There's so much more than empty conversations filled with empty words."
