Today's training was at YCK! Freak! I had diarrhea this morning and was 30minutes late for training. My stomach was damn pain when I woke up. Oh wells, at least coach have not come back yet. After doing finish physicals, I realized that they forgot to bring shuttles. They went to buy shuttles and it was pretty lousy. Haha! The head of the shuttle was heavy but the feather were so light that it feels like as though its made of rice paper.

We went into the courts and first we did 4 against 2. I partner Divya and we duced but still won in the end. Haha! It was funny because we were so close and there was this shuttle that was at my overhead. I had no time to use back hand and so I bend all the way to the side. Haha! I felt myself practically doing yoga or something. Haha! It was funny!

Next I partner Shi Ying against Yi Ning and Anabel. Anabel was in pain and it was at her hip bones so I guess perhaps it's that her hip bones are growing. The first set was okay, me and Shi Ying won. The 2nd set I think Anabel was in too much pain or rather I don't know what happened to the both of them, their scored remained at 9 for damn long and our score kept increasing. Oh wells, can't really say we are strong that's why we won them. Anabel was in much pain for the 2nd set too I guess. If she was in no pain, I think it would be a tough match.

We went back to school and did farewell stuff. We celebrated Shi Yin's Birthday in advance and it turned out to be a disaster because she knew it before the cake was brought out. Many loop holes here and there. After eating the cake, we did the scrap book and went into various levels. We did until 7+ 8pm. Oh wells, hard work and effort is priceless. No sense at all! Haha!

Now I'm watching Hell's Kitchen. Haha! 

Today wass an AWESOME day! Went ice skating again with the same people! I was a little unhappy about the way the receptionist at the counter was treating us. I don't wanna talk about it. Anyway, we went into the ring and damn there were a lot of people. I skate the inner ring because the ice is not so rocky and that it was much easier to move through since the crowd were mostly at the sides, nearer to the barriers. Shu Jun and I helped Qi Xiang and Jie Le to recall how to skate.

After a while, Shu Jun and I were skating happily in the inner ring accept of cos at times we have to split and go separate ways to avoid the collisions in front of us. Speaking of that, it's pretty funny to see how 1 person fall and the people behind will also fall without any contact. For example, this guy he fell and landed on his butt and then this girl was sort of close to him and she lost her balance and fell too. The 3rd person behind them wasn't able to move away from the 2 people and thus she fell too. In comes me and Shu Jun, we were holding hands and zoom, we released our hands and we went around them. It was funny and cool to do that cos it's like getting over an obstacle. (:

After skating for a while, I felt my foot in pain. I stopped a little and continued again. The pain didn't stop me. I mean how can you stop when the time is running out and you're doing something really awesome! :D There were this bunch of boys who really can skate and skate super fast. I was resting at the side and this guy in blue shirt almost bump into me. Phew, it was close and he said sorry. Perhaps the ring was a little too crowded and thus many people kept falling. Worst thing was there was skating lessons going on in the center. Oh wells, they had cones to mark their space. LOVE ICE SKATING!

Did I mention that I have been watching Hell's Kitchen online? Haha! It's fun to see the dishes being created with limited ingredients as well as the way those chefs cook or do something stupid under pressure. However, I think it is due to watching Hell's Kitchen everyday, I get hungry all the time. It may be because I'm growing but I have a feeling it's because I'm watching delicious food being cooked and served and thus it makes me wanna eat too! Haha! I think it may help me in F&N.

I shall write until here then! (:

Today's training was a bit rush. We had to leave the hall by 12 sharp due to the release of N level results. We did the super tiring footwork and it ended at around 10.30am. We had only 1 hour to train because the 30minutes left till 12, we had to do lines. Yn said we should do drills but I disagree with it because we didn't have time and man, it's Friday so I thought that we should end of the week with just games. This whole week we didn't play much and we did lots of drills and needless to say, the physical test thingy. In the end, we played games today.

It was pretty hard finding pairs because I wanted to make changes here and there so that everyone gets to mix around and not just stick to their partners. Anyway, I have to apologize to those whom only played 1 full set today. Time was against us but I'm glad with the fact that everyone was able to play at least 1 full set.

Next, we had to do the stuff. I had to apologize for not remembring to ask Yn for the papers because shi yin had reminded me. We couldn't do the thing because we didn't have papers. We wanted to go Yn's house to take but something happened and we couldn't. So, we had to do only the houses. We started on the roof today and I gotta say it was a big challenge because super glue had to be used and at least 3 people needs to support it as well as glue it. It wasn't easy. The first one I was able to help with was Victoria's group. Their group was the first group to have all 3 sides done. It was pretty hard but we managed to do it and we took 20minutes. Haha! Long but successful.

Next group to do finish was Shimona's group. I went over to help them and I think it was at that point in time Sabrina and Inez were calling me. The task I had at hand was more urgent than the other groups one because the roof may topple any time without support and so I think I told them to wait a while or something like that. When I was done with that group's roof, I went over to Inez and Sabrina to only realize that they were pissed with me for neglecting them. I was trying to explain that the roof was more urgent at that point in time but I don't know it they understood. I don't really blame them or anything, it was also my fault for not being there for them when they needed me. Once again, I apologize.

4 people went out to buy back the materials we needed and we were able to finish up our houses. Though there were quite a number of people playing around and slacking. My only main concern was getting the houses done and some houses did not have roof. I could finally sit down and help built the roof and while waiting for it to dry, I went to play badminton (pushing) with Shi Yin. It was fun and hilarious. The most exciting and funny game ever!

After all the houses were completed, I continued my game with Shi Yin at the corridor. Once in a while I would take a break and play with Shimona's board. Awesome man! I could glide properly by now I think.

All in all, today is a happy go lucky day! (:

Awesome

Today's training was ok. We did the same tiring physicals with timing! Oh wells, I still can blog so that means I'm ALIVE! Haha! Lame yes I know. Those who knows me knows I'm lame! Hahaha! I'm proud to be a lamer! (:

Went down to support the doubles and singles matches. Fun day! Haha! Had fun in the arcade as well, playing photo hunt and foose ball (I think this is the spelling). The boys matches were exciting and shi yin and gabrielle played really well! Thank god they hold on tight on their rubber set. It was pretty close. (:

Oh wells, today is an awesome day! I learn to live each day to the fullest! (:

Lesson to learn

This afternoon was the match with farefield and Nat Mok and I lost. Haha! Oh wells, don't wanna talk about it. I'm not sad actually... I'm actually quite satisfied with the way I played and I can say this openly because only my opponents, umpire and Nat saw how I play. Haha! Only they know! So no one can say anything about my performance today (:

I don't know how to put it but sometimes I think that this particular person should really not stay in her shell but open up more to people around her! She doesn't realize that there are people whom care about her. I think she needs to know that she can't always get the attention all the time from someone. Nobody will ever know what you're thinking unless you say it. Sometimes as humans we do need to get attention from someone to tell him or her about some personal stuff and by all means, I think we as humans should tell that person directly that we need his/her attention. Aye... I think I just wrote crap!  

Jumping Jacks

This morning was freaking training! My butt hurts when I was doing footwork. My foot also hurt but I don't see any outside injury. When I rub it, it hurts and I just don't see any signs of injury from the outside. I guess it's internal injury. It feels like as though someone pinched me then like the after effect when you touch it, it's painful. Oh wells, I'm a strong person! Haha! This kind of thing won't affect me. So I will just carry on with life and treat this pain as my best friend. (:

After training, the whole team stayed back to help with the building of the houses. We all had to face ice-cream sticks for about 5 to 6 hours. Haha! Well at least the ice cream sticks has color, if not it would be real boring! :D I was busy running around like a bumble bee trying to tell every group how to make it and how many sticks on each side. I felt like a shoe person taking down the numbers. It's funny!

Went down to support Anabel, Shi Yin, Gabrielle & Kit Yee's match. The goodie bag does not seem very interesting this year. It's a bit plain and I think Li Ning (brand) sponsored Cheers more than Kason cos from the court mats, right down to the shuttle for cheers, it's all Li Ning's one.

The team got a red bottle from Li Ning's shop at ION using their $30 voucher as well as other stuff. I haven't got mind yet but I think I'm getting it soon. I think the bottle is cool and fun! Haha! The first bottle I've seen that actually has an image of a person jump smash!

I reached home around 11pm cos the bloody bus took freaking long to come. Never mind though, I like the ride though I stood throughout the whole 30minutes+++ ride. (:

I shall write until here! Gotta sleep now for I have a match tomorrow! :D

Keep going!

Today is a freaking boring day for me! My trip to Malaysia with my family was canceled. The whole afternoon, I did nothing but watched movies online. Oh wells, lots of things have been going on recently and I guess it's stuff like this that keeps my life interesting.

Firstly, it's the interesting week I had at the zoo. I must say it was super fun and I don't mind volunteering again next year. Next, it was the funny match with SSS (s'pore sports sch) for cheers. The story has already been posted in the previous post so don't need to explain eh. (: Thirdly, it was badminton camp which we had recently. It sort of didn't really end with a nice ending but overall, I think it's okay. Fourthly, the dinner at Bre's house was fantastic! Haha! We will always laugh without fail and I will always laugh until the point where my stomach hurts and I have to stop laughing for a while! :D

One of the best days in December would be ice skating with friends! :D It was awesome! Had so much fun from falling on the ice to getting a swollen foot (still hurts a bit) and having so many activities in one day!

As each day passes, I learn from other people's mistakes and try to not make the same mistake myself.

As each day passes, I learn to grow and be a better person learning from my own mistakes.

As each day passes, I start to learn more and more about myself.

As each day passes, I start to slowly realize who I really am.

I grow stronger and stronger learning from the mistakes made by other people...

Yo! Today is an awesome day! Today is Shu Jun's and Marie's birthday. In the morning, I met up with my friends and we went kallang to ice skate. It's super cool! It's my second time and I can say that I CAN SKATE! Haha! Not scared of falling on my butt! Qi Xiang and Jie Le were both newbies and after 1 hour of training, they could skate. Many falls here and there but it's alright. The only serious one was when Shu Jun and I were holding hands skating in the inner ring than I fell. Don't know her or me never let go then she also fell and she scraped the ice. -.- Had a cut and was bleeding a little. But after wiping off the blood, we continued to skate. Oh wells, after a few days, it will be fine.

During skating, my foot hurt but I bared with it. When it ended, I took out the shoes and my foot was sort of swollen and I was kinda limping. Not very obvious though. The only thing that came into my mind was that coach told us not to injure ourselves or get hurt during the holidays. I suppose this is not serious. Hahaha! I'm sure it will be fine after a few days cos it's ME! Haha! This kind of thing won't hurt me. (:

After skating, we went arcade and we played a few machines. Then we went to bowl. Pretty fun though I was the worst among the 3 of us (qi xiang & jie le). I think I need more practice and speaking of this, I'm going bowling with my family tomorrow! (:  Shu Jun didn't bowl cos she's scared! Yo! If you're reading this, haha saw how we bowl today right?! So many went into the gutter and so, no need to be afraid of anything! Haha! Everything has a first time! :)

Dinner! Went to Bre's house and it was awesome! The food is as good as always and had so much laughter and fun! LOVE IT! We sang happy birthday song to Marie through the phone! Haha! It was funny!  Had to rush back home before 10pm cos my dad said so. -.- I reached home at 10.30pm cos I missed bus 13. Thank God there were guests so they couldn't talk to me. Hehe! I shall write until here! (:

Never a failure, always a lesson

I'm back! Had Cheer's competition on Monday and damn, it was Sarah's first time playing ever since her 2 weeks break. Our opponent was Singapore Sports School. Whereas for me, I had a one week break the week before this Monday. This means that both Sarah and I perhaps have dropped a bit in terms of standard I think. Haha.

Our names were called and we went to the court to stroke. The umpire was walking towards his chair and opps, I smashed out. The shuttle hit the umpire's shoulder. Haven't start already I hit him. Aye... I said sorry to him and thank god he wasn't the strict kind, he said never mind. 

We started our match then half way through, I kept laughing because of the incident which happened before the game started and also, for like 5 times, the shuttle kept flying to the umpire's side. It kept flying pass him and almost hitting him. Oh wells, Sarah and the 2 opponents also laugh. I kept controlling my laughter on court but I just couldn't. Thank god my coach wasn't there, if not I will get a big scolding for laughing in court cos I don't play very well when I laugh.

During the 11 points break, kit yee came to talk to us and I don't know what she was talking about cos I was busy thinking about what happened. I had one mouth full of green tea and all of a sudden, the scene came to my mind and damn, I spat green tea on kit yee cos I was laughing so hard! Felt super embarrassed and said sorry to her after the match.

Oh wells, I thought it's not bad that Sarah and I still can play though not that well. I would say our match was pretty okay despite the score. Hehe the 2nd set I laugh only twice. After the match I apologized to the umpire again. (:

I shall write until here.  :)

Once in a life time (:

I'm back! Haha! It's been pretty long since I have blogged. I have been super busy with training, camp and working at the zoo. I wanna talk about zoo because working at the zoo has been an amazing experience for me.

Carina, Divya, Shu Jun, Qi Xiang and me are lucky to be able to work with the zoo keepers for the past 6 days. Each of us had to work at a different section in the zoo and I chose WILD AFRICA! Where the giraffes, zebras, rhinoceros, antelope and ostrich were. On the first day, I followed my keeper called Cheryl. She is the nicest and friendliest. She taught me about the habits of the different animals and how to put the grass for the rhino and giraffe. The animals I look after are herbivores so there is never a day I don't come in contact with leaves.

Every morning, a truck load of leaves will be put at the different places for all the wild africa animals so when it's time to put the grass in the enclosure, I would follow Cheryl in and learn where to put the leaves. I love Trisha this baby rhino that is kept inside with her mother Shoba, away from the other rhinos. Trisha will come to me when I call her name. She's a cutie pie. Every time Trisha walks to someone, her mom would keep a look out for that person. Haha! 

Next, I had to clean the giraffes enclosure where its big and every morning, it has chocolate like shape poop everywhere. Thank god for the boots I was given to wear. Hehe! It is not very smelly because I don't smell it all the time. By day 2 or 3, I know relatively well where to hang the leaves and what are we going to do next.

Tea break is from 10.00am to 10.30am, lunch is from 12.00pm to 1.00pm and last tea break is from 3.00pm to 3.40pm. During the 2 tea breaks, I don't really do anything much. I stay in the air con room and stone. Lunch is something I always look forward to. We get free lunch everyday and the food is damn good! We also get a drink and ice cream on friday.

After lunch, it would be rhino feeding where 1 basket is $5 and there are like carrots, honeydews, apples, pears and bananas. I get to feed them and they sound and look super cute when they eat. Rhino's teeth are all the way inside so you just gotta put the fruit near it then when it smells it, it will open its mouth big enough for you to put in or throw in. It's cool to watch them eat.

After the feeding, the rhinos will go into this enclose area for some hay and the keepers will go in and clean the area. I will put the grass at the different areas and I love to hang the antelope's leave. There's 1 antelope living with the rest of the rhino's so you have to hook the bunch of leave on this hook that is quite high. I had fun hooking it every day.

Some of the funny things that happened to me:

1. I was pushing the dustbin into the giraffe enclosure so that we can clean the poop and the dead leaves on the floor. As I push, there was a puddle of pee on the ground and so I had to avoid it. I tried but the bin was too heavy and so Cheryl came over and helped me out. As I was walking behind her, I forgot to bend my head and *BANG* goes my forehead! Man, that hurts!

2. I was walking with my other keeper Ram to the giraffe feeding place as it was time to feed them carrots. I was thinking of what pictures to take after my work. Without any warning or notice, *Bong* I bang into my keeper. He was giving directions to a tourist that 's why he stopped. Damn! He was like "EH! Watch where you going la!" Hahaha!

3. On my first day, I went to feed the ostrich with Cheryl. We poured a bucket full of chopped bananas, vegetables and whole meal bread etc. Then, the male ostrich sort of like squat down and started swinging its head left to right and right to left. Cheryl told me it's called a courtship dance. If he does it do human, it means that he is marking his territory. If he does it to the female ostrich, it's trying to attract the female. Throughout the 6 days, it did it to me every time I pass by him so all in all, he did about 7 times of courtship dance to me! Haha!

On the last day, I wrote a note for the WILD AFRICA keepers. Oh wells, may god bless them! (: I shall write until here then.  :)
