Have I mentioned?
I'm 22,
and for once,
I actually feel my age.

Pleasant Surprise

Today over dinner:
(while G was cutting her birthday cake after blowing out the candles)
G: "why is it so hard?"
Meng: "cos you just blow it."
Everyone: "wth.........."

****
conversations like this, it's so us. Like how Yuhong and Wanting were sharing their exchange experiences,
which led to musuem visits,
which led to Sex musuem,
which led to animal sex, the evolution of condoms, and the list continues.

Oh dear. This is US. 3 years and it hasn't changed.
But you know, I'm glad it hasn't. I love us like that.
I love Trojan. ((((:

Heartaches and Headaches.

Hello World,

I've been busy lately. But not quite.

You know like how time flies and you don't even realise it,

yet you can't quite point a finger on what you've been spending the time doing.

Just last night I realised that it was already, 27th MAY.

So I missed one of my dearestest friend's birthday on the 24th. Completely slipped my mind and I have no excuse. And thank you Dearest Yanns for being ever understanding and forgiving. =)

And still having 100% faith in the friendship we have, despite this big disappointment from me.

I love you!

And then there's many little things I need to deal with: Love, Loss, Stress, Friends, Performance, Expectations, Needs, Duties, Responsibilities, etc.

Yeah, IA has ended but it seems like the other avenues are taxing on me.

And last night I was talking to The Dongdong and I really wanted to cry. I don't know if it was because of how I felt; that I'm slowly becoming selfish, or because of how I'm falling short of the expectations of many, or I'm just simply stretched.

Then the latter will lead into the former: that I'm just selfish, how I only see that people need a part of me but I don't offer that helping hand or listening ear. And with that I am falling short of expectations. It's a sick cycle.

And I am not like that.

But anyway, Thank YOU for listening and assuring me.

You make me feel like a better person altogether. Love you(:

Of Celebrations, Wisdom, Love, and Get-togethers.

Finally a picture post! (:

Yesterday was Jiel's 23rd Surprise Picnic (but she already kinda knew.....) at S.entosa(:

Comeback Kings

I get a week off work this week! Not because I'm trying to skive, but because the equipments aren't available so there's nothing to be done anyway.

I have to backtrack more than a week of events and activities, kinda hard for me to pen them down now actually.

I'm finally coming to terms that season is over; we had an awesome preseason leading up to IVPee and now it's hard to say goodbye. The Aussie trip definitely benefitted us, both in terms of game sense and team bonding. After 11 days, we came back a completely transformed team- we were closer, and stronger.

"Imagine you're in Heaven and you're playing touch." - that's what Coach said before every game in OZ. We were stressless, fearless, got thrased upside down. But we always picked ourselves up and hung on for our lives (we were only playing with 11)

And as always, by tradition, the best games are not caught on camera.

We lost IVPee, but this season was AWESOME. It barely felt like we did, though yes the colour of our medal reflects the team standing. I wasn't upset when the final whistle went- it didn't feel like we lost. Of course there was a tinge of disappointment- I could hardly believe that we lost but we never gave up and I'm so proud of ourselves.

A friend labelled us the "King of Comebacks" after what happened in both semis and finals. In Semis we were down 2-0, then caught up 2-1, equalized 2-2, down 3-2 and eventually equalised 3-3 just before the hooter went. Sudden death til 3v3 and we proceeded to finals. It wasn't a smooth ride up, but we made it.

Then Finals: we were 2-0 down by first half, 3-0 down just as the second half started, then caught back up 3-3. We lost sudden death upon the first tap though. Guess you can never be lucky a second consecutive time.

I told the team I was proud of them; during S.unig we were intimidated and under too much pressure and fear. This time, we played fearlessly, and proven to be mentally strong. S said it doesn't feel like we lost cos we played like a champion team (finally), and I guess he's right.

=)

Apart from Ivpee, I've been spending too much time in Hall. Am officially roomless after the new roomie shifted in last night. Due to all the IH track/road relay (dreads) training, am back with lotsa time to waste.

Hence, I've been room hopping! Attended BabyJ's elective with her on Monday cos I was bored shit, and spend lotsa nights with the successor over ipod games (Rotten apples!!)

Yesterday: Lunch with one of my favourite couples! G.ibby and S.iying at H.all13 (: then wasted time at N.IE library helping with English homework: simple present tense, perfective, progressive, active passive voice, Modal: degree of possibility, statement about the future.

Never knew English could be harder than it already is. =)

Dinnered with Penguin and the Loomies for the last time yesterday over Pizza and chicken wings =) Yums. Took lotsa pictures with the Blackbird =) I've yet to see the first roll of film and I'm already excited about developing my second roll! (:

Need to head down to the Bestie's soon to scan the pictures =)

Went down to Terminal1 to send our dearest CANG SANG the fish aka wongjingyu aka Federer's-nanny-to-be while she departs to the Land of Federer (Swiss!) (:

It was a 1am flight but TEAM LOVE > midnight cab fare so most of us went down anyhow =) Also celebrated Buddy Briggy's birthday while we were there. Team love is the best =)

Then 11 of us squeezed into a van as we embarked on the long journey back from ChangiAirport to PulauNtu. =( It was an achievement. (Y)

Dearest Road Rice also found out her MRI results yesterday: Complete ACL tear and partial MCL tear. Op to be done in March after 6 weeks of intense physio. Fat hugs for you dearest! Stay strong and I'll be here for you =)

Humble Beginnings

****

happy birthday s.

+ First week of work has been rather good so far. Yes I ended work at 1130am on Monday, 10am on Tuesday, no work on Wednesday, 130pm on Thursday and 5 on Friday! By right work is 9-6 but I haven't passed my lab test so I can't get started on research.. don't compare.

+ Spent the entire Monday hanging around N.US - from biz canteen to arts canteen to E.usoff hall to Science canteen, then headed down to S.unset way for ice cream with Yanns only to find out... Dailyscoop is closed (!!!) and so is buttercorn (or is it buttercream? I can't remember!)

+ Surprise xlb buffet on Tues for S where I had to make do with using my knitted sweater as a blindfold, and awpapa totally failed as a cab driver.

+ Then k.uishimbo for lunch on Wed after htht with Jiel, Carcar and Angiebff.

+ Then timbre on Wed night to further celebrate S birthday and welcome Tiancai back! :D "Congratulations on dating a 'Wondergirl'!"

+ First IVPee game on Thursday against NYPee. Went fine, but we can be better. 12-0 to us.

+ Caught "It's Complicated" just now and I like how it's a happy unhappy-ending.

Backdated o9.

So that was picture post of Aussie,

figured it'd be better if I posted a separate entry on the trip! :D

Before Aussie, here's how Christmas went:

We had team bbq steamboat on 23rd dec where the theme was "Different persona":

We had lady gaga, jason mraz, powerpuff girls, popeye and olive, bella swan, amywinehouse, william hung, ...

Was complete fun and M-E-S-S.

We also had gift exchanges(: Where I got buddy brig's starbucks bottle! :D

We ate from lunch til dinner then I left for PRAWNING! (: (: Favourite activity with my favourite people! We had 3 rods (compared to 2 last time) and caught much much less. :( Business was poor.

My giftor was Chong(: As I suspected! Hehehe. I got an orange laptop sleeve which "exceeded budget" (: Very nice. My giftee Wenlong didn't come :( We prawned and ate til 5ish despite Wayne's whining and protest to leave early.

By the time I got back to hall and showered, it was already 6am and I could barely sleep and I went for training at 9am like a walking zombie. :(

Lunched and packed and headed home, then dinner at a family friend's place of S and midnight mass. Concussed and met Yanns and Mal for brunch on Christmas day(:

Goodies from Japan courtesy of Ahgong! :D

Then S and I caught SherlockHolmes with his parents and got conned! We parked at this place that cost $2/entry and an additional $20 for parking after 1030. We debated before we entered and thought the surcharge was if you entered after 1030 so we parked there anyhow.

Left the carkpark at 1040pm a grand total of $22 was deducted from the cashcard.

So the entire movie costs $10 x 4 + $1 booking fee + $22 parking. Gasp.

Had BCM @ thomson where the NUSBFF cycled out to meet us for a catchup(: Whee.

Then prawning with awpapa, kin & their gfs. (:

S caught his first prawn and it was hugeeeeeeeee.

We were on a roll that night, caught too many (more than 50, lost count along the way) and they were huge. (:

Contrary to that night I went with Trojan.

Went back to school the next morning specially for capts ball then packed and left for home after camera shopping with Gdine. (:

Final training on Monday before we left for Aussie, by the time we settled our training gear and souvenirs it was already 3pm! :(

Then it started raining and I couldn't leave for home.

Met S much later that night, we went to amk with the intention of having yummy bryani but it was closed by then. So I settled for shihlin chicken and he, Chicken rice. Not forgetting.. KOIII :D :D The money changer was also closed by the time we got there so we headed to xiao3 in4 du4 instead to get more aussie dollahs. Slightly scary with the crowd plus I was alone for a while. :(

Then headed home to continue packing for the longawaited trippp! :D

Oh, we also celebrated Mommy's bday and Christmas on 19dec at our favourite SoupRestaurant!

Bella.

I am...

panic attacking for the second time for Wednesday's paper.

BUT : I have a paper tomorrow so there should be no reason for me to neglect it.

S says I should stop thinking about it so I've kept all the notes, past year papers, tutorials, and everything that reminds me of Advanced Materials Processing in a file and hid it under my table.

Spent the weekend in hall, except Friday night and the first half of Saturday.

Surprised Seef over breakf with the other 4 of Bao (sorry you couldn't be there Sheryl!) to celebrate her 21st one day early. (:

So I'm finally starting exams tomorrow! (: About time, when people around me are beginning to E-N-D. :( 7dec sounds so far away, but shall not complain about the time I have on hand to use for revision! (:

Need to go for a run soon. Getting oversized.

All this time.

Life is points:

• had a durian party in my room last week, stank up the whole place and the toilet and attracted a mother huge flying cockroach. plus we also wasted the whole night

A post of the infamous long weekend:

Filled with much reunions (big and small), realizations, celebrations and expectations.

Dinner with S and family over steamboat, then cousin's birthday celebration where I was greeted with too many kids, I can no longer remember their names.

Supposed to attend Moo's 21st but sorry for the clash of events =(

During their Recess/my public holiday, I caught up with Yanns and Yarns over Aston's (old time favourite) and an Indonesian dessert: baked banana over condensed milk sprinkled with chocolate flakes and shredded cheese. Mmmmm, heavenly. =) And as the Crabs observed, we were dressed in each other's House colours: Yellow, Blue, Green.

Also caught Inglorious Basterds; wasn't what I expected but I enjoyed it. A heavy hearted show (compared to Ugly Truth), and it was kinda tragic, but I like. =)

Plus, late night study sessions til I get damn brain dead. And the evils of temptation: Strawberry sundae at 1am, French fries at 3am.

My emotional jar probably also overflowed over the weekend from feelings suppressed for too long. But I also learnt that there is not always an answer to every question.

Neither is there a lesson to be learnt from every thought dwelled over too much.

AND, that one day in the future, we will only regret the things we NEVER did, and not those we did.

Will you be my plain water?

I Know That You Were Trouble, But I Couldn't Resist.

So I :

• removed my stitches today, and
• found out that my bottom right wisdom is in a worst state than the one I extracted and hence,
• will experience a more traumatic post-surgery recovery when I do get it extracted.
• finally went for 930 lesson after breakf with the roomie
• couldn't stop sleeping in oh-so-boring elective.
• was asked the meaning of "LOVE" today.
• recently can't stop throwing FORWARD passes
• didn't play w.tl on Saturday but still went down
• caught Timetraveller's wife over the weekend with Bao, and
• didn't really like it. :(
• missed my gipee interview last wednesday thanks to wisdom surgery, yet
• was offered/recommended for it but,
• had to reject it after calling up gipee office only to find out it clashes with the infamous ivpee.
• made a domokun card + whippedcream-covered-sponge as a pseudo cake for Jeannette's 21st with Jieling
• have a new found baby whom I spoil. It is true.
• was too late to sign up for Nikehumanrace AGAIN but it clashes with w.tl anywayyyyy
• must be patient
• must not express negativity to my teammates on the field
• am excited for S.unig yet a little scared
• was told that we think alike by A(nne)
• really hate reccosboys cos they are so effing selfish and full of themselves
• really hate 5llah softball male team after today cos they were so rude and unapologetic after lousy bats and allowing their softballs to fly into our field more than 3 times when they didn't even book the freaking field.
• missed out on eating dessert last night cos they stall was closed after we finished our main course, and hence
• tried the weirdest combination of ice ever - peanut ice, mango puree and nata de coco.
• was visited by seetohmeetoh weiyanndearest last Friday after wisdom extraction who bought me hotfudge sundae! WHEEEEEE
• as usual, hate school
• have been trying to sleep early, wake early. And so far,
• have been sleeping by 230am and waking up before 1130am. Good start.
• am currently hooked on: All The Right Moves/OneRepublic and Two is Better Than One/BoyslikeGirls
• need to study studying. THREE TESTS COMING!!!

PS: And Jeannette says: " I LOVE/사랑해/大好き/真的好爱/*insert 'love' in other languages here* you all~ "

Today, I set my hair on fire.

Thank you awsikuan, it was fun. =)

Happy Birthday NickySonny(:

Take Me Higher Where Blind Men See.

This is the Birthday Cake of my 6year old Cousin.

SIX YEAR OLD?! Omg. Sorry Crabz but I think her cake beats yours hands down. :\

I wonder if she complained about her Belle gown during the party; that it was warm or itchy.

I wonder if 10 years down the road, she'd still remember how her cake tasted.

I wonder if 10 years later, she'll remember the games she played and the people who attended her party.

Omg jealous. :(

Anyway, Penguin and I went for dins at JayPee after school where we ended up shopping and splurging like shopaholics. (Ironically, she was just watching the movie while waiting for me to end) What a sin, but it's therapeutic so we promised each other we will finish up overdue work. (:

Looking forward to the weekends. Though it'd be without S but I really hate skooooolz.

To others, "It's week 3 ALREADY."

But to me, "It's week 3 ONLY."

SENSE OF URGENCY, PHILLY.

For You A Thousand Times Over.

This is Me and My Room mate.

Over the weekend (including Friday),

# I had one last meal with a friend leaving in search of his own W.ondergirl, ate til I was so full, carried a friend's (guy! wooh) backpack on his behalf.

# I left for touch with my jersey, boots, socks, etc but stood under the orange umbrella to cheer the team on. Before half time I walked over to the stands to retrieve my things in temptation to play. But Coach waved her finger and gave a BIG No-no.

I was also late for A.rthur's 21st where I became a big party pooper and felt eternally bad. I learned about making bad decisions but how sometimes we are given second chances.

I also met a friend-on-crutches who had to sneak out of the house and "steal" car keys and drive with an almost disfunctional left leg for a cup of tea while we pondered over decisions we've made/we're going to make, philosophies of life and our future.

I also laid in bed to enjoy the rain and wind though it was almost 4 in the morning and I was still sick.

# I came back to school early on the account of "work to do" (which is not entirely false) because sometimes you choose to follow your heart over a stubborn mind. And you find out it's not too bad a choice either. Accompanied lonelymiserablesickpathetic S for dinner and caught F1 in the TV room over dinner.

# I also abruptly, impulsively, suddenly decided that I want to go GIPCHINA and am going to apply. Oh, the power of persuasion. However, the definite decision will only be made when the acceptance email is received, and of course when I manage to convince myself of all the commitments I can leave behind and safely say, return to six months later.

# I have also spent a huge amount of time with Kite Runner when I should be finishing my readings for the meeting on Tues. But this is definitely better than Thousand Splendid Suns!

Take Me On A Trip I'd Like To Go Someday.

I am 21.

It definitely doesn't feel like it. Didn't need the party poppers and streamers to acknowledge that, nor the redefinition of rules I am now entitled to break.

As always, simplicity is supremacy. I would not deny things felt different with S' absence. Having a bunch of guys sing "Happy Birthday" was honestly a tad bit awkward and weird too.....

Then camp. And trainings. And xlb buffet.

BAO met on Monday to celebrate A-meee-learrrr's twentyfirst with the much anticipated XLB buffet.

Poor service aside, the xlb were very much substandard. We also ordered the worst choice of MALA soupbase which killed all of us. I felt my throat burn and head spin. At that moment, I knew I was gonna fall sick. :( We wanted to go for durians but I received an SOS call from S which disrupted plans.

I guess that was a blessing in disguise otherwise I'd have been more sick than I already am.

Caught Pol.ite games despite the splitting headache and leaking nose..

But I forced myself to recover so I can play on Wed(:

Wednesday was fffuuunnn. =) As posted earlier, now Coach owes us Vermonster(:

Then just as I thought I've fully recovered from flu, I got hit by fever.

But it only happened when I was already out- Met the W.antoks teammies for lunch at Swensens(: Then dessert at BenJerry's(:

It was a nice time of get together after so long, and nice to see everyone again. (Considering we used to see each other twice a week during season)

Left for Pol.ite again, which we were half an hour late, almost missing an entire match. :\

Got home, took my temperature, had lotsa medicine forced down.

And I finally woke up at 2pm after the interruptions with a growling tumtum cos I haven't eaten in almost 24hours.

So things have turned and as expected, things have changed.

I'm not inflexible; after all I've been through. But I will not say I've the best reactions to changes. Of course, all takes time to adapt, to adjust.

Now I'm just dreading this first far away weekend.

And today, went to support Su/Siti/Senior-Toks at the Women's Contact game between B.ucks and B.lacks. Though we ended up talking among ourselves half the time, the tries that game through were still some pretty awesome ones. And sonnybaby broke her nose. It was like deja-vu all over again when it happened to S almost exactly a year ago. Except this time, there were alot more tears, and I was allowed close to her and could hold her hand.

Poor Su, you'll be fine k. Mama loves you and the surgery is not as scary as it sounds. (:

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.

(photos from Chow's FB Album)

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.

I Am Perpetually HANGRY.

Monday; belated Birthday meet up with the newly-turned twentyfirst.

Intended swimming session turn laze-by-the-corner-and-catch-up, til the lifeguard forbade us to leave as we "talked more than we swam".

Soon, Touch is going to occupy more than half of my life per week.

As if that is not already new, I'm beginning to grow more and more weary from it.

Trulymadlydeeply can't wait for S.TL to end, it has been much of a pain than a pleasure.

With the growing expectations, increasing demands, and heavier responsibilities, even the slightest things that may seem insignificant to another weighs twice as much on my shoulders.

SIGH.

Where is my short holiday to anywhere?

TwentyOne Wishes.

Roar. I hate it when my dad meddles with my lappy, he's erases my history and I've a hard time returning to websites I didn't bookmark previously.

The match yesterday was Bad, with a capital B. :(

After a two week break, my muscles really feel useless and my legs felt completely immobile. Response time was slow, and everything else was bad (passes, hands, angles)

We lost 7-5 so it wasn't a thrashing but I fucking let in the first touchdown.

I could find ten reasons/things to blame to make myself feel better for it but the one thing I cannot forgive myself is: I was caught in the position, which is not something I've never played before, so I should be doing what is expected of that position. But I didn't. I didn't pull my corners. Even if I did, I should have done so harder. But I didn't. I didn't make the correct-handed touches. I know I wasn't mentally switched on but nobody wanted to start either cos maybe they weren't psyched up yet, or maybe cos we were defending first. But neither was I and I knew that cost me. Argh, I'm so mad I cannot forgive myself. And I grazed my just-healed-knee again. I am going to buy vaseline.

If any consolation, I have awesome teammates who make up for my shit skills, thus the 7-5 loss. 

Rushed home and grabbed my stuff to head down to P.unggol 24th Ave. Ultimate ulu-ness, it was at the end of the road, at the end of Singapore, just before the jetty. :\ Thank you Daddy, for sending me. We finished up decor and fruit hat making, bought more stuff (which we didn't use in the end)

Had Penguin dearest's 21st, Hawaiian style. (Hawaiian reminds me of Lilo & Stitch. Haha)

Plus a freaking expensive G.oodwood Park H.otel Durian Cake. I was telling S what people remember most about parties is the cake, so the $ was worthwhile, but he insisted otherwise. =(

Anyhoo, packed up after people started leaving (which took quite a long time) and drank a shot of Black Label on behalf of the Birthday girl getting saboed. Yup, and Black Label seriously sucks. The taste stayed in my mouth even after drinking fruit punch/orange juice. 

All the way til we reached HK Cafe in East Coast, where my naicai+grass jelly tasted like Black Label the first few mouthfuls. EEEEEEEEEEEEWW.

And the HK Cafe reminds me of SEEEF. BESTIE I MISS YOU! Can't wait for you to end exams! (: Jiayou and Iloveyou!! :D

We're supposed to head down to JB for a day today. But guess not! :(

Boo!

Happy 21st, dear girl. (:

I'll Slow It Down For You.

Freedom is a five lettered word, beginning with S: sweet.

Been caught up with birthday celebrations/preparation, which actually makes the freedom double the fun, twice as meaningful. Exams + Birthdays = Extremely happy occasion. (:

T.imbre is gradually becoming an obligatory post-exam place, there were ALOT of fellow aNTeeyoU people there. We toasted to the freedom, a 23year old, a 21 year old to be, and the parting of a friend to KKKKKorea. 

Helped Penguin prepare for her party yesterday, when we received bad news. We had to relocate the party due to swine flu. ZZZ

Good thing we managed to find a place albeit so last minute.

Caught Taken. IT IS SOO AWESOME. I had heartwarming moments, heart stopping moments, scenes I'd clench S' hand a little tighter, and times I can't stay in my seat. Awesome, please go catch it.

Supposed to do 3min fitness everyday but secretly lazy, please don't tell my coach! :D

Touch later, but not looking forward to the hot sun and getting thrashed..... =((

TO MY DEAR N-US FRIENDS: HANG IN THERE! Your turn will be over!
