the weekends

Saturday was spent on training and down to Bedok reservoir with B to support his teammates.

Today i overslept for service so decided to go to bedok again to support them again (:
And rainie and junwei came down and guess what? RAINIE is fairer than me ): my oh my.. Her snow white wish is ALMOST fulfilled. Not yet cos her legs are still as dark as mine!! :D

Okay.. So for the past few trainings, it was just mad scorching and i was burnt ): Saturday was the worse! I was burnt from morning's training and sun tan at bedok reservoir )':

-
i look forward to every water training but everytime when i have to go through the process, i just feel horrible. I'm just very upset with my performance; my strength.
When will i ever be up to standard? When will i stop feeling fatigue through the cycle of training? When will i feel that i have enough power to contribute to the boat?
time is limited, i just need to be up to standard.

finally, it's not just a CCA. It's abt my passion, my love.

precious friends brought pleasant surprise (:

Partner, her friend and Joanna gave me a pleasant surprise today (:
I can't even describe my exact feelings at that moment.
It may seem like a small thing, but it certainly did make the rest of my day brighten by SO MUCH! that I couldn't stop smiling to myself :D


what happened was, i was doing work in the shop when suddenly this girl (partner's friend) came to tap on my shoulder.

she said: "someone ask me to hand this to you"

then she handed the yum cha bag to me.
I was quite stunned and just stared at the bag for a few seconds and I recalled partner telling me about going to yum cha with Joa.
But somehow, it still didn't get through to my brain until i looked around and saw joa's hair. hahahah! they were like hiding behind the shelves la!

awww.. how sweet (: really, I appreciate it a lot a lot!! (,:
thanks girls! to think that you both still thought of me while having dim sum. hahah. really made my day (:

♥

p.s. the egg tarts are savory! seriously! It tastes so different from other egg tarts! totally melts in the mouth and the crust is so crunchy :9

till next time>>

training under the hot sun means..

instant darkening of my skin.

ran and rowed double sessions.
My oh my..
Easier said than done.
It was bad bad bad for me.
I'm still not up to standard yet ):

Bonus for the day:
1. Partner and i found the super nice pineapple biscuit (:
2. B drove today :D just when i really needed it after such a long day at seletar.


So lazy to wake up early for work tmr ):

Every year since year 1, I'll witness the Exxon mobil (EM) dragon boat race held at lower seletar reservoir as we'll be having trainings as usual (although they always specifically tell use that we cannot have trainings). Anw, coach will bring us further back to row so as not interfere with the race. The event always seem like such a fun family carnival and I always hope I'll be part of the people on land, enjoying the games and food (but no need to row :P)


It's the 6th EM race this year and I'm honoured to be part of the crowd! All thanks to Michelle who invited me to row.

In fact, I didn't really row much. Just for 1 heat and the rest was all about ice cream, popcorn, stage entertainment (the MC was excellent!), rain, poncho, RP shed... LOL
It's not that my team didn't make it to semi just that Michelle took over the rowing so I just slacked throughout the rest of the event. Btw, my team's name is BUNKER TROOPERS! hahahah.. sounds quite cute la!



B was invited too however he didn't row. I still think he enjoyed himself as much as I do especially with his toy car which is still in the rp shed (:


and all ready to play with that car (:

Popcorns, milo, games, bento...

I know I'm a total noob but I just realise that red bull's tab is a bull!

come, open your mouth and eat.. ahhhh!


I didn't regret dragging B along to play with the poncho 'cos it's my first time using a poncho other than those kiddy raincoats when I was much younger. We can run in the rain so freely without getting drenched and forget the hassle about carrying an umbrella everywhere we go (:

uses of a multi-purpose poncho!
1. hide a bag to keep it dry
2. cover your entire head from the rain
3. carry your keys with the sleeve



Similar to the Nike race, there are young ladies taking polaroids (:
so this time, i was sooooo determined to get a shot! :D


when the race kind of ended, I went over to rp shed to slack till training at 4pm. B tried to irritate me with his funny faces..
and I got really irritated so I used the ball to hit him..


): and he is bleeding ):


ya, like I will bear to do that! hahahahah. He went to pluck his pimple and it bled. tsk tsk. the pose with the ball is obviously just a picture.


I did something worse though. I dropped his Oakley by accident and it's scratched :/
Felt really really guilty la.. was still hesitating to tell him the truth when i saw the scratch :/



guess B and I played too much in the rain and caught a cold or something, plus the insufficient amount of rest every night that caused me to fall sick. Was down with a slight fever, sore throat, sharp headache yesterday. Managed to endure throughout work but really cannot make it for training so I went home to rest. B was sweet enough to come over and take care of me and irritated me as well. But somehow because of that, I recovered really fast! Still, very sweet of you la (:


and today, B fell sick while working too! hahah. seriously, what's with us?
Went over to meet him at work and he secretly slip a piece of note into my bag with me realising it only after I unpack my bag at home (:
He actually wrote it on a piece of empty receipt. hahah.


Lastly, result is out today! How awesome. Those starbucks, burger kings, ice lemon tea, etc, etc are so worthwhile. Though my overall is still pretty pathetic if i want to go into uni, but I'm still very contented with it la.
Thank God; PTL (:


Training is on tmr! run, row, row!
K4 :D

till next time>>

'cos i had a bad day

one, Acer was such a scam! Gave me a false hope that I have extended warranty. Rawr!
For that, i will not bother repairing my old lappy there anymore. Will not be their customer even to allow them to earn that bit for checking my lappy problem ):<

two, i'm having sunburns ):

three, my nail polish is slowly peeling off )):

four, i must endure another day before meeting B ):

five, i miss rowing already

wells, just for 1 thing that i'm happy about, i was productive at work today.

Okay, gotta sleep.
Nights all.

incorporating fun

Back to those usual holiday routine which I went through for the past 3 years.
Holidays are specially meant for more training except that I have to commit to work now.
Yesterday, the Nelo K4 finally arrived and rowing in it is total coolness ;D no more traveling all the way down to Bedok for K4 trainings (:
Due to my weak stamina, I still felt totally drained after training and all I want to do is sleep.
Afternoon naps are the best (:



Procrastinated for a year and finally made up my mine to repair my laptop. Went down to jurong and got a good news that i'm still under warranty until May!!!! This is one thing NYP rock in. hahahah.


Time to head for my second round of sleep (:
GOOD NIGHT!

Last year's NWCC just went pass like that.
Went through the whole album looking for a specific picture but couldn't find it. None the less, I found this (:
and a whole lot of other pictures that brought me through the NWCC'09 memory lane.



Since B is neglecting me for some HK drama, I'll be mean and post this up!!
:D
900000000 kg, smelly and 0.1 cents worth :D

with me who is worth way more :D
LOL.


Training totally killed me but it was quite shiok (xing and jing please nod vigorously)
and ax reminded me that this is just the beginning of hell. gosh ):
After training, B was nice to wait for me
followed by BIG Mac :9
Assuming that next week will be of higher intensity, I can't wait for partner to be back to enjoy the same land training as us :P
(don't kill me partner)


btw, when's our results coming out? I'm quite excited actually. LOL

till next time>>

Trying to relive some childhood memories (:


Friday was our long awaited D&D and saturday,
had Steamboat dinner over at Michelle's place and I was fed with a lot of fishballs and a lot of chicken and a lot of fish :9

I totally couldn't wake up for trainings on saturday so I had to make it up on Sunday.
Training today was TOUGH for me ): It's back to the burning sun and fatigue body feeling ):
Sunburns, abrasions and body aches are inevitable but at least I've crossed the phase of blister pain (:

Met B after training and totally konked out over at his place. Extremely exhausted today la! But somehow the irritating burning feeling on my skin kept waking me up during intervals ):<
Woke up feeling a whole lot better and off we went to IMM for dinner with his mom and sis (:


Sometimes when training days get tough, I try to recall days that are worse. Especially the last marathon we did. Under such water conditions, the sun, exhaustion creeping in and the pressure we had with the few other K2 ladies so close to us. Every moment felt so intensed yet we wanted to cling on to our position so badly. At the end of the day when we get what we wanted, it just weighs over all the sufferings during the process.

(:

some new gym fashion

my silly little partner forgot her sport shoes :D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
most lady-like kayaker ever! Seriously, hands down to her for being so brave ;D


Gymed with partner and B at redhill today.
totally ♥ to gym with them (:
-congrats to partner who got her overseas attachment (:
-B pass me the food he got from Hokkaido (:
Melon kitkat, Royce chocolate potato chips, chocolates, some jap rice biscuit, and of course seaweeds (!!)
okay okay, I promise to run more (:


oh oh!
Happy 21st with B! (at 12am)
still ♥-ing you; more and more each day

till next time>>

Old macdonald had a farm, ee ya ee ya oo..

Till next time>>

School's OUT!

Wednesday was the last day of school.
Go-kart right after our last paper (:



Cool thrills after the papers totally kills stress (:
Last day of the 3 years!
These are the people who made the 3 years of studying bearable.
We are lecture-mates, tutor-mates, exams-mates!
I can still remember those days that we stayed in the library and ate piping hot hotdog buns and infinite sweets and chocos.
Boring lectures are never boring with them; laughing about every little minor actions/ speech by lecturers, typo errors on ppt slides.
Some of us even went gym/ swim tgt.
These 3 years with the same bunch of friends just makes school so exciting, always knowing that there are friends around for lunch, for help in studies, even just talking about some random things I see outside school.

3 years seem so long yet so short.
We always rant about projects, exams, stress, stress and more stress.
But we still made it through!
3 cheers to us!
Seriously, they're awesome people adding great memories into my life.

as we lead our separate lives; Most going to the army and the others (which is me and joce) going to study (Me- *cross fingers*) I hope for the best for all of us (':



After those racing actions, I left first to meet up with B after 1 week (:

till next time>>

Idk isit 'cos tmr's the last paper or isit 'cos B's on his way back. My heart is beating in the excited mood and i cannot stop moving!
