What a Weekend.

Quick one before I go.

Double champs over S.TL Finals and TouchAttack 2010 a success!

Thank you my wonderful NTUteammies and Clubpals and participants of TouchAttack.

I'm sunburnt and exhausted but I'm really thankful and glad =)

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!

Something (still) Feels Missing.

I've been feeling really choked over the weekend,

and I've lost ownership of many things especially control over my emotions.

I've been really stretched and jaded,

and finally the numbness started to wear off.

This self-defensive bubble wrap has secured me for close to two weeks,

and finally together with the end of the season, it wore down and allowed what it shouldn't have to penetrate.

Finally, the waterworks. After much postponement.

I've also been having too much of a sugar fix.

Starbucks and coffee bean and bubble tea and endless ice cream cravings.

And it's not good. :(

Just last night, Mom went on and on about how I need to eat more/eat well/put on weight and she thinks I'm troubled but keeping it to myself. 

Played my first (and probably the last) Mixed game of the season. Just to make up the numbers though, and comfortably slot myself in the wing at every opportunity possible. (Except the times during substitution where I got pushed to the middle) Was a little scared but thank you AL for being very encouraging. (: Haha. We won 8-3.

The entire Saturday afternoon at turf = sunburnt. (Even with sunblock!)

Too much Uv rays gave me a headache and fever over dinner. But I still caught Witch Mountain anyways. :( Missed Ahgong and Arthur who were at Barrage!!! But I needed the rest anyway (I think.)

Sunday; time with Penguin (again :D). Plus MrsDarcy came to join us. (:

This song is like my Song-For-The-Weekend and I still can't get it out of my head.

They say bad things happen for a reason

But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding

Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even... no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you, 

And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok

I'm falling to pieces, 

(One still in love while the other ones leaving)

I'm falling to pieces 

(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

"I have a friend called Mimi and she lives with me!"

I have a splinter that refuses to leave my finger.

Jeannette has decided to name it, Mimi.

It's just like an itch I can't scratch.

And that sucks.

It started bleeding after S' persistence which hurt so bad =(

And training was badbadbad again. But at least it didn't rain :D

Yay.

And my face is starting to peel. It's scary.

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.

Where We Belong

Today, over Manufacturing:We were actually pretty proud of our work til we saw what others have come up with which totally owned ours. Haha, and the Prof even said ours was POOR cos of the orientation of our paper. Right, apparently we didn't maximise the use of the whole 'A3' idea. Haha. WHOOOPS.

Lately, I've been really tired but everytime I lay on my bed, I can't sleep.

I feel like there are a lists of urgent things I must attend to yet when the time comes, I cannot get started.

Today, M.ichael asked if I was all right cos my eyes were bloodshot.

PS: Yes, ok. A student stabbed a prof, I KNOW. Daddy texted while we were in Math and I showed G the message. I can't believe there are people praising him, and even putting things like 'All Profs should reflect on their behaviour now' on their Msn nicks. Gosh! Damn immature and apathetic.

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 :(

The Damage Gives You Hell

Sunburnt, Hurting left leg (after getting knee-ed),

A little less flabby, headache,

Aching, superdupertired.

A morning/early afternoon in the sun and I'm back to black. (Well, somewhat.)

And omfg, my second platypus burst!

All thanks to Al. Boo, I hate you for now. >=(

I barely studied today. Forget about playing N.tl finals =(

PS: Omg, mac for dinner again. It is satanic.

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

Yesterday:

A last minute decision to head home was changed, 

Lamian XLB at JayPee for dinner, and ice cream, ice cream! :D

THEY ARE OPENING A STARBUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY! Something to love about the West. :D

The Afternoon View.

By the way,
after 7 hours in Sentosa yesterday and the afternoon of S.R.C + pool games,

Phil is officially as red as a lobster/tomato/chilli crab,
and is very very sunburnt. ^!#($*#&!O!$

"This is the best team to make mistakes with"

Today, I experienced the extremities of many.
It was probably the hottest day in weeks, where sunblock no longer matters, you get burnt anyway. I am tanned beyond black and the colour contrast of my skin is similar to that of my cookies and cream / black forest ice cream from IslandCreamery after the game.

I found myself not only struggling with the weather but with myself,
my mind and my body; they do not co ordinate well enough.
But we all fall down sometime. It's whether you stand up, or you sit down and whine about your fall.
THIS is where I pick myself up, because like She said, She believes that I am strong enough to handle it, and "there is no time for tears."

Thank you all for the messages/ encouragement/ ice cream therapy (!!)
And now, I shall eagerly wait for dinner (chompchomp!) therapy with the same people over ice cream. I'm so hungry Ah gong, I'm gonna eat your cow if you do get any.


I'm so tired,
but I don't know from what exactly.

Where did You go over the Weekends?

Time by Phil Well: 1 hr left
Things I've been doing: Applying lotsa cream, drinking carrot apple, allowing my butt to ache, feeling my face crack, having my fingers freeze, trying hard not to sleep, applying more cream.
Things I'm gonna do: Apply more cream, fall asleep, finish my carrot apple, have my butt grow big, prevent my face from cracking, apply my cream.
Things I need to do: Apply more cream, drink more water, eat less Jellybeans, walk around more, move my fingers, exercise my brain, sleep earlier, apply more cream.

--

Yesterday, Mom and I speed-shopped at J8, entering the malls at 845pm, and leaving it at 925pm, with 1 dress, a top and a skirt totalling up to 120$.
I paid for everything,
I told her it's all right.
OUCH MAN.

Wow, You're hot! Like, literally.

Oh my tian,
neither Calistar, nor MamaDao is online at work today.
I foresee time is gonna crawl like a crippled snail.
That's if snails can even be crippled.

I am looking forward to dinner.
Fly time, Fly!
I am a true blue red crabby (cooked crab shell vs meat inside) meeting a fellow crabby, eating crabs. WHEE.

So, should I get THIS PHONE?

I love you, WENTWORTH MILLER.

SUNKISSED, SUNBAKED, SUNROASTED, SUNBURNT.

I LOVE YOU GLEN! YAY!
BUT I LOVE YOU MORE GRACIE! =D
MY PRISON BREAK MARATHON CONTINUES!!!
(die already, don't need to sleep liaosxz!)
I'M ON A HIGH. WHEEEE.
