WE DID IT.

Omg, the last time I hit this space was......... 10 december.

I don't even have a regular habit of checking paper-backed anymore!

It's not that I don't pen my thoughts down anymore, No wait. I don't. HAHA

Anyway, just for memories sake. Hopefully when I check my archives 10 years later, this post will bring smiles and tears. Haha.

I.VP 2010/11 CHAMPIONS YO!

Thank you, Everyone for believing, for supporting, for encouraging.

My team, you girls played so well, especially during the finals, that EVERYONE there told me we deserved to win.

For a second, I thought we would lose it. For every touch down we worked so hard for, we let in another as easy as sand through my fingers. Was I Disheartened? Slightly.

Score was Half time was 3-3.

Full time score was 7-3.

I remember saying before the game, that we must run like we believe it, pass like we believe the person next to us, and defend like we want it. And we did.

Thank you girls, for giving me the honour to lead you to glory and for playing like we've never did before.

And no better way to end the season than with sinful indulgence of KOI and MCDONALDS :D :D

WE ARE A CHAMPION TEAM!

And the world seems like a better place now =)

The End Is Where We Begin

We had our final closure a few hours ago- over sashimi, sushi and too-much-jap food at H.anabi. We reminisced good times: Aussie, Semis, Random bimbo moments; laughed over classic scenarios; talked about our future: Club season, Winter League (so long more), graduation (for some), work, post-season-life.

As cheesy as it is, with the end of this season, a new one awaits us. First it's club, then it's S.Unig again. This team is awesome, and I'm really sad to let it go. That as always, after each season we part and take separate paths: Syl and Ek concentrating on Fypee, Juniors still learning the art of the game, some taking time off to do something else meaningful in life, others going back to their real jobs: being a girlfriend, full-time sailor, full-time soccer player, IAstudent (me!).

Team session always heals. I actually felt more energetic than I usually do after work. =) CaptainEK and I got Mvp which made the season a whole lot more meaningful.

I still can't believe season's over ALREADY.

=(

Anyhow, after dinner, we split up. Five of us detoured to Macs and played some card game with cows. Apparently, if you owe something to anyone sitting at the table, you'll have bad luck and lose. Tested and proven; Ek lost the first round (cos she owed me moolah for drinks). So she paid and I then owe her 5cents change. Then I lost all the subsequent rounds! >=(

Was never that superstitious but I better start believing. :( It's not a coincidence.

On a sidenote: S came down to work for lunch today! (: With a bouquet of roses in hand. (I insist they look identical to the bouquet from last year but he begs to differ, hmm) And I stole an orange care bear from AwPap's car. =)

Then over team dinner, Baby gave me a box of self-made pineapple tarts and almond cookies she baked with Elepig(: It even has "XOXO" written on it. :D

Thank you! I feel so loved. =)

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 =)

You're The Direction I follow To Get Home

1)WORK

IA this week's been goodie goodie. (:

Finally starting on experiments: sample prep, gold deposition (unfortunately, I don't have access to the Au otherwise I could steal some and we could all be rich!), lspr measurements, bilayer formation and next week, more molecular testing, more layer by layer depositions and even SEM training!

Okayyyy, I know I sound like a complete nerd now. But I really like it!

I've been working OT the past two days and yes, I've been complaining (though I don't quite deserve to cos I have DAMN slack days too). Just unlucky the OT falls on days I have a tight after-work schedule (non-leisure related)

Lunch breaks have also been awesome with my aN-yoU-aSs pallies, with fellow course mates and the lonely Hub, with my dearest OG mate ongjunx(: , getting used to the way around campus and eating out of school.

Despite the reallyreallyreeeaaalllly low pay, I'm pretty glad I was granted my first choice company. When I'm bored or waiting for results, I can just head over to the Computer Room and I'll always find someone there, or head down to L3 library and disturb Ah Chu. =)

Today, Junx came over while taking a break from his Fyp report and I was showing him the experiment. Also taught him how to use O.rigin to smooth curves (which he still doesn't know how to do after 1 year in Im.re) and he is impressed by me! :D Yay. I also hit my head against a cabinet which has never happened in the past few days but it had to happen when he was around.

J: "Don't worry, I won't tell G you knock your head."

Me: "If you tell her, I'm gonna ask her to 'boxbox' you!!!!"

=)

I win. Heh

2) IVPee

Only 1 game this week instead of the supposed two. Tuesday was our second game against SPee. Anyway, just as I thought I was doing fine, I got sat out TWICE in one game. Apparently I "needed to get out for a while before more possession lost or losing you (me) altogether". In other words, I was being destructive then self destructive/destructed.

We won anyway, 6-2.

Thanks Sugar Fairy for running down from N.us to watch the game! =)

We also caught IVPee Bball girls semis on Tuesday after our game. It was an extremely exciting nerve-wrecking one between us and aN-yoU-aS. From trailing by a-few-points, we caught up to a draw, then to a lead, then gave away free throws and the match ended with a draw. (The coaches of the opposition were so fierce, they even threatened the officials)

So it was extra time of 5 mins where we had a good lead initially until opposition caught up and the aN-Tee-yoU team had to work extra hard to take the lead again.

Eventually we won by two points and it was an awesome, awesome feeling. Plus seeing our fellow (ex) teammie playing so well, leading her team and scoring- we were so proud of her =)

So yesterday was the finals, which we rushed down after training. We were already trailing by a bit, but the bball girls kept trying to catch up. Each time they narrowed the gap, an unexpected (but freaking accurate) 3 point shot will come from the aI-Tee-E girls.

There was a period of time the aN-Tee-yoU team was ON FIRE but it wasn't enough. :(

We lost in the end, by 4 points ( I think?) Cyn still played awesome but it was really sad to see her cry :( She didn't cry when we lost S.UniG and she told us to be strong. So it was really saddd =((

3) FOOD

Been eating way too much fast food, Macs after watching bball on Tues (twister friezzz!), BurgerKing on Thurs and Macs again todayyyyy! :\ Had bubble t on Wed too, and a major frogurt craving due to the insane sun. The BenJerry's at Vivo's closed for renovation too. :(

4) MISC

Work ended early on Monday so I went to fix the oh-so-terrible hair of mine (I snipped my own hair and it was hideous).

Caught Blindside on Wed with liangshit my Curly Hair Friend after lunch with Ahgong and Yanns in campus. =) The show's really really good. =) We both enjoyed it. Shopped for Ahgong's farewell gift before heading down to his place for the (not-so-)surprise farewell party. (:

what will I do without you, Ah gong.

Have a safe flight to London.

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.

+

Mindlessly

Another classic conversation we had on Friday night at B.ar S.top:

P & Yanns: Omg! That's exactly like what Cleo said!

M the Ahgong: "Who's Cleo? Is she hot?"

Everybody else: "Omg it's a magazine, LAH!"

And a link you should all click to watch the vid: CLICK FOR IVPEE!

PS: my face really hurts from the excessive uv rays :(

IAMFINALLYSIGNEDIN.

IVPee 08/09.

It was definitely awesome, with a few bad games here and there. I never really got to embrace the victory when it happened. I had to force myself to get over it to prepare for NZ.

Saturday, after Wan.toks, we gathered at the Mighty Capt's place to review our videos. And it was there, we relived the moment. Though we already knew the results, my heart still palpitated every time Rpee scored, everytime a (clear) touchdown was denied. I am still semi in shock how touchdowns were overuled as a dropball, or even a forward pass.

More importantly, I was AMAZED (and amused) with the noise in the background. All that negative talk. All the jeering everything we broke through, all the cheering everytime we fumbled. But as she said, "Everybody hates Winners." and the Trophy's still ours.

Back to school for now. Apart from all the catching up, sleeping in class, and copying, we still have our classic conversations:

Yesterday,

"Do you think they will last?"

"L-U-S-T, lust?"

"No, I'm not W****, I do not have problems with my grammer."

"No, I think you haven't completed your sentence. You mean 'Do you think they will lUst... for each other?' "

"Hahahahaha. Since when did you become so smart."

Oh yes, and my boyf gave me permission to cheat on him for 2 weeks with a girl. HAHA. 

NO MERCY

IVP CHAMPS, BABY! 

(and a sprained thumb, again. GRRR)

KILL GAS AH

I Am Not A Fucking Mind Reader.

People always say, how things change overnight.
But you know what- you don't need nights, not even hours.
You just need seconds; split seconds.

It is that split second you make the decision,
be it to pass that ball to score a touchdown,
or a split second too slow to catch the ball when it is thrown.
And of course, the split second decision to hit the send/call button.

-----------------------------

Anyhoo, been pretty preoccupied with everything apart from school.
Except Today, I had to run a Vertical Marathon going up and down from door to door looking for relevant Profs / Person-in-Charge to get my EXTREMELY last minute leave application from school approved.


Skipped school yesterday to do some shopping, and catch up with Yanns, my dearest. (:
We were stopped couple of times along Orchard, and the funniest was when we were approached by some Ok.to Tv Crew. So yeah, we're gonna appear on Ok.to (I really hope we don't actually, cos we were severely underdressed).


Next. IVPee, which feels like it just started yet it is ending tomorrow already.
With an unexpected twist of fate, we are playing Rpee again.
Feeling super egggcited(:

And off to NZ 12-22 January. :(

The Future Scares Me.

Before you even know it, we are already past Mid-dec! :(

6 days to Christmas; that's less than a week.

That means....

14 days to Iv.p,

17 days to restart of school,

and 27 days to NZNZNZNZ.

EVERYTHING IS LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY.

And for a some peculiar reason, I feel extremely nostalgic tonight.

(No it's different from being emotional)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!

Outstanding + Awesome = Outstandingly Awesome

Really damn fucking tired from this multi tasking between studies, touch, life,

but I need to train up a robust mind and body for intensive days/games,

and Angie says, we should really think positive so we can survive!

Sooo, random IVP photos for motivation and I will just say this once and forbid myself to say ever again tomorrow: "I'm damn tired and I don't feel like going for training! But no choice. =("

With that,

tomorrow's training shall be like today's. A good one.

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."

PS: It was crazily edited by either Ro/Wenhui.

"Dive like spaghetti!"

20/01/08:
Final Score: 6-3

Unbreakable.

I spent my last minutes of 07/first few minutes of 08 with the people I would like to deem Very Important to me, but now I question myself on that definition.
They say what you do/who you're with on such special occasions (esp beginning of the years) are what/who you'd be throughout the year, but looks like 2008 is a year of twisted fate.

Unworthy things aside, I AM REALLY HAPPY TODAY.
I think the whole team's really happy too.
5-1 to us, against an-you-ass today.
WE'RE IN THE FINALS BABY.

Though ref made a few bloopers, (omg I shallwillMUST edit this part someday)
as Coach says, "Nothing will bring us down if we're a good team."
And nothing did.

Finals this Sat, 4pm, against TeePee, again.
And for this final game, we're gonna end it right, end it good.
I have so many reasons to motivate myself to play like today, if not better.

"We caught it on tape. Fucking unfair. Beat those red asses on saturday. They deserve a beating."
And for you, I will.

Ps: BFF/LOVER AKA ANGIE I AM SO PROUD OF YOU TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[THIS TRAIN ANGELA IS GOING VERY FAST! THIS TRAIN ANGELA IS GOING VERY FAST!!! =D]
Pps: As much as I am excited for the Finals, I don't want this Season to end. =(
Ppps: Honestly, I think I rather play an honest but strong team, than a dishonest and weaker team.

"I walk a crooked straight path."

(I have so much to blog about but no time! >=( )

Today we spent 1half hours travelling along a congested expressway from BoonLay to Tampines/Simei just for 5 mins. (We were supposed to catch at 40 mins game)
And left back to BoonLay 25 mins later.
How tragic.

Eileen's mini camera necklace that doubles as a lighter and torchlight.

(We tricked Coach into believing it was an ultra mini camera and made her take a photo of us! Haha)

I desperately need to score a try on Wed to be excused from Bowling on Friday =(
Orders from The President: "Okay la, compromise. 1 try and assist 2 okay?"
OMG.

If I asked you to stay, would you.

Sigh Phil, why won't will you ever ever learn that you can't never ever have the best of both worlds.

---

PS: My left knee is aching again, I hope it's not rheumatism. Hope it won't dysfunction anytime soon either. =S
PPS: Playing an-you-ass for Semis this Wed.
PPPS: Probably meeting are-pee for Finals this Sat. I don't know if it's a good thing or not. Somehow it felt like they wanted an-you-ass to win today.

Solid Defence.

I am happy today,
today was good and happy,
plus some leftover happiness from yesterday.

We had a super hilarious/slack day in school.
Gave Gdine a new name: Bang (as in 'Help' in Chinese) Qiao yi cos we ran into a guy called Bang Bang (Help help)

K: "lucky your chinese name is not 'ge(1) la(1)' or you will be called bang(1) ge(1) la(1)"

And Gdine's an ultimate bitch. She twisted Michael's compliment til it became his fault/my bad for being who I am.
Oei, people say I'm quiet and demure OKAY. >=) Haha

Plus Computing lecturer played punk, so now we've make up on Tues. BOOO

***


We won again, 3-0 again TeePee, although Capt says she won't be happy unless we leave the pitch with 5-0 and more.
Need. To. Do. Something. About. My. Hair. For. Tmr!

Oh, we had ice dips for speedy recovery from muscle fatigue after the game.
Soaked for a minute in a DUSTBIN filled with ice+water.
But by the time I got in, it was just ice cold water.
We froze and went numb but it felt gooooooooooooood. (: Haha

Xuefen, Sijie, Leehui, Angie and I left for dinner at Bedok's Botak.
Got lost along our way and walked miles.
Gorged ourselves silly to the yummehlicious junk western food,
where we were graciously given an extra plate of fries for free =D

Over dinner we alternated from the TV to the company of each other,
talking about previous matches and matches to come,
laughing ourselves silly (Leehui was tearing, haha) and trying to capture unglam photos of Leehui.
We had a great time destressing, from flirty fluttering eyelids to flying kisses and goodbye waves that left some of us laughing til we fell onto the floor. Like, really.
Haha. We're so embarrassing sometimes.

Thanks Faz, Ah gong, and Angel for coming down.
Love you all okay (: (: And sorry I couldn't spot you among the crowd/say hi,
but your presence/support is appreciated nonetheless. YAHOOO.

Game #2

This time I'm not gonna say they lost,
WE WON 4-1. Against as-am-you.
Good job team, I truly believe my team mates are superstars and it really is such honour playing with them.

Both my bottles smell of Gatorade and I hate it! =(

Today (as in 9th Jan) is An(i)gel's Birthday.
Happy Twentyfirst,
