oh what a week!

This has been one helluva week!

touch competition went well :) WE GOT PLATE CHAMPIONS! i'm so very proud of our team! the final match was such an intense one! it has really made me deepen my love for the game and for the team. it made me realise how much i want to train harder. i really love rugby and the team. i can't describe this feeling but it's a good one. i'm so so proud of the team both div 1 and div 2 :)

well, time check, it's 3 weeks to my piano exam and 1 week to my snec appointment.

i look forward to the coming week with mixed feelings. on one hand, i'm quite excited to start training with a new training regime! hopefully it'll improve my fitness as well as my skills. yet again, thinking of training reminds me that i'll never see the seniors again. i must say that they're a fantastic bunch in terms of spirit and skills. they were the ones that pushed me to persevere through 4 rounds of phat leks and to train hard. now that they're gone, trainings will no longer be the same. yet, i guess this is a good opportunity for our team to bond. i think it's a good thing, in a way. i'm also very nervous for my snec appointment. i really hope there's nothing wrong and for once, i hope the 2 and a half hours i'll spend there will be for nothing. tutorials are piling up like mount everest. just when you think one tutorial is over, another comes your way. sigh. welcome to my hectic life. at least there's the friends and trainings to look forward to :)

alright all, have a good week ahead and take care!

let her open your mind's caged door
and let her roam
for pleasure never is at home

in other words, dream all you want. dreams bring you to places you can never go to in real life. :)

smiless all the way

let me see if i can find a way to describe it in a sentence.

hmmm nope, i can't.

well, this time i don't care what it means. im letting myself be happy. :)

yet another week

well, yet another week has come and gone. it's just so scary how time flies by just like that.
once again, nothing much has happened in school. there's just so much work to do and so little time. thank goodness for the friends and the fun :) without it, school'll just be mundane and unbearable. thanks for making school bearable :) lunch on friday was good though. it's been ages since i've been out for a good meal :) not to mention with good company! thanks guys :)
training's been going on too. competition's coming up. it's the postponed one. all the way girls! exco elections coming up too. sigh.. but thank goodness for the team, who've always been there and been together. you guys are really something. keep going :)
been blog surfing just now and it just made me realise how much i've missed ij. the familiarity. the friends. everything. nostalgia is hitting me once more. i miss everyone oh so much. i can't wait to catch up and find out what's going on in their lives. i miss being a part of it. i know life goes on, but ij'll always be a part of my life. a part of my heart. i miss everyone:(
next week's gonna be a busy one. i just hope i survive it. i'm just so tired...
oh well, i'll find a way to pull through. have a good weekend and a good rest everyone!

boohoo

im enjoying this long-awaited break. was close to exploding after the sushi buffet ytd.i think i ate 12 takoyakis, 4 unagi sushis, 10 crabstick sushis, 4 hotates, and i cant remember the rest. ahh lalala. feelsss good..

midweek

well, you'd think that after the cts, we'd have some kind of break. to my horror, the work's just begun and is beginning to pile up. on top of that, there is the horrid pw which is the bane of every student's existence. i guess all of us have to go through that but it's really taking up a lot of time. bah.
training's been alright so far. the postponed competition is coming up so everyone's training up. all the best guys! well, i hope that my stamina improves with the training! tmr's gonna be the killer pt. i haven't done that for ages! so i hope i survive!
mugging session with samu and zee today was quite productive! managed to do math and physics. and also got to get many many songs! thanks zee :)
so many things have happened today. i just hope tmr'll be a better day. well would just like to end off with this quote, whcih i got from gillian's blog:

take everyday in your stride
cos life's just a bumpy ride
so look around and you will see
everything's gonna be alright

i hope it will. have a good week everyone.

finally!

you told us we would be intimidated, but i wasn't.
you told us we would feel demoralised, but i didn't.
you told us we would feel like we could never have a shot at winning, but i feel otherwise.
you told me we would lag by one minute, but we lagged by one second.
you told me we may capsize, but we didn't.
you told us we had no hope, but we DO.

i went for the race hoping not to lag too much or to capsize.
i came out of the race realising i could have done so much better.
i know the gap can be closed. i know i could have done better if i had set my goals higher.
i know we can put up a fight. we'll show everyone they have reason to be afraid of us.

peiying, we're all proud of you. carol, ill miss you. and ill always look up to you,because you've been both a friend and a senior. also want to say that i especially admire the year two guys, esp the t2 rowers. i think they deserve to win. i really do. though i didn't like them at first, they've earned my respect and admiration. they've inspired me.

i've finally found out why i'm in canoeing. i finally know why i gave odac up. i finally realise that i have joined the right cca, that i have made the right choice. im at peace now. :)

better

life's been looking up! today we had half day thanks to italy, france and vjc sailors. well training was surprisingly enjoyable! we had a rather manageable run and light gym training. in short i felt worked out but not too tired. wed's the competition.im nervous but i really don't know what to expect. two worries- capsizing or stopping the boat to brace during the race.i hope none of it happens.ill try my best, blisters or not.

ever get that feeling when you start thinking of something and you get so obsessed with it that nothing else occupies your mind 24/7?it's become some sort of a craze with me. i have no idea why im so into it and i really want to get rid of this uncanny obsession but i can't seem to. i can't be bothered to work towards achieving it but the idea of having it just keeps haunting me day and night! i hope it goes. go away.

goodbye, everybody. pray for me and all the vj canoeists.

hallo

camaraderie, yadayadayada.
this is it you bunch of closet muggers! bring the competition on! grrr ive been pmsing this past few days. i bet some of you have noticed. sorry if i ve offended anyone.

im sunburnt and i have a huge juicy blister plastered on my previously soft, cushiony,dove-ladden butt. sitting down hurts hell a lot. please grant me luck on wednesday.and thank you eunice for everything.

thanks guys for the tags. hey i heard from sara that odac had some project X today? i wanna hear about it!! lien im better, thanks for all the support and help! you're so much more than just a mere friend!

have been finding life a tad boring.but im focused on two things only. nth else matters. well maybe food does but YEAH. anything else that wants my attention will HAVE TO WAIT.

satisfaction

well. training has started yet again this week on tuesday. i must say i was very apprehensive about training cos i haven't been training for god knows how long.
the first day was definitely difficult. not to mention the set lunch at cafe cartel was beginning to take its toll on me. running was horrible. but then again, i guess the first time's always the most difficut. yesterday's training was definitely better though. managed to keep up with the seniors during phat legs. probably cos they too haven't trained for a long time but still, it is an accomplishment :) although i went home completely drained of energy, i had this feeling of satisfaction, knowing i managed to survive training and pt. i hope that we will improve both our fitness and skills as a team. oh well, we'll just keep working hard. for now, shall start on va and all the other things i have to do. take care all and have a great weekend ahead!

:):)

1.see that picture down there?those are my favourite people in ijtp. there are more, but those were the ones that were there for me 24/7.

2.LAHDEELA MIDYEARS,LAHDEELA.

3.odacers,u guys are freaking hilarious la. saw yuanli and huihui kicking balls at yongsheng and injuring all the passerbys. i thought that was the ultimate until i saw uncle roller blading outside the odac room. i was laughing all the way lah even when i was doing the pull ups!

4.Literature is more beautiful than i thought. i thought i was good in ijtp but i see now what i do is purely amateur compared to what some victorians can do! i read a model essay and the ideas in the essay are remarkably fresh and meaningful. i will never ever regret taking literature. it's so full of beauty in its simplicity.

5. thanks LIEN.

im hungry. byebye everyone. oh btw any scholars seeing this, ermsh our allowance came in. yayyyyy....

weekend in review

this has been a good weekend :)
it's been great catching up with my 4 fav ij buddies! the food was fantastic, but the company was priceless. i really miss spending time with them and what's great is that we can still talk like we used to despite not seeing each other for a long time. i love you guys to bits!
the weekend was disappointing. brazil. you have let me down and broken my heart. so have argentina. this is devastating. yet again, ENGLAND'S OUT! all hail ricardo! my new favourite goalkeeper. sigh. the worldcup is no longer worth watching at all.
alright, it's gonna be back to school on wednesday. bah. i'm gonna miss sleeping till 11 and just not doing anything. ah well. good things don't last forever. till then, have a good holiday everyone and take care! thanks for the pic cher! :)

:D

i feel really tired now, both emotionally and physically. im too tired to even start worrying bout the fact that i seriously need a bath but im not sure if i have clean stuff cause ive been too lazy to do my laundry the past few weeks. again. only one thing bugging me. im sure it's obvious what it is. i wish it would all be over. then again i had a really good time ytd with cher corr marianne and chang. my four ij buddies! it was as i said.. kinda familiar but at the same time, unfamiliar being together again. im glad we met up, i really am.

forget the exams, guys! just have fun now that it's over and that ermmsh the results aren't back yet. haha.

ohwell. i shall just go sleep on it. no wait i should look for clean clothes first. AIYAH.

thanks for the tags btw:)
