update

so now world schools has been over. i guess that explains my disappearance this long while. well, the world schools has left me in awe, tired and proud.
firstly, participating in this competition has certainly opened my eyes to the world of touch. i was in complete admiration of the teams from australia. their game had so much flow and the players seemed to know when to do what and how to do what perfectly. it's amazing. i wish we could improve to that standard too! perhaps it's their mindset towards the game. i realise that we do enjoy the game but we become serious, to the extent that we're high strung? i noticed that they smile everytime they make a mistake while we curse and swear. maybe we need to change our mindset? yet again, it is difficult to do that. oh well, i think we just need to work harder and improve so that we can inch closer to that standard! :)
but in other words, i am proud of our team. we certainly improved from touch oasis. there were good moments but of course, we still can improve more and there are areas to work on. yet, i never dreamed we could beat OFS. after all, they do have speed. it may be because of the fact that they only had 1 substitute while we had 8. still, it is an achievement and i do admire OFS' perseverence. they showed a great amount of strength and i really tip my hat off to them!
however, these 2 days of competition has taken its toll on me. it certainly is tiring! but well worth it because the memories and the experience gained is definitely indescribable and i'm thankful for this opportunity :) on top of that, we got to make new friends :) steph, meifang, nic and flo! thankyou so much for being willing to join our team for this competition :) you guys are really sweet and we couldn't have done this without you :) love you guys and keep in touch! :)
as for now, it's time to train hard and improve even more :)



well, these 2 days have been great too! san fran has been amazing! the sights are beautiful! it's really hilly but it's quite cool :) shopping has been fantastic too! :) the food is not bad either! thought the portions are huge! it's been great so far! but i do miss singapore :) where the food's less rich! alright, time to go turn in soon, it'll be a long day tomorrow! :) take care all and have a wonderful holiday!

take care zee! i'm gonna miss you lots!
