went for cca farewell camp (: at the same time missing my quarter finals of the tennis competition): coz the time clashes. and mummy told me to see the opportunity cost. so opportunity cost for camp was that i would miss the fun, miss being we my super fun section (: and the opportunity cost of missing the tennis competition was...(i spent a long time thinking)... miss gaining experience. that was because i was once again against seeded 1, which would be impossible to win. i can imagine how the game would go.
she serves the ball, i touch the ball, the balls flies OUT OF THE COURT. i serve, she returns down the line or cross court, i miss the ball. okay so how am i supposed to win points? i don't know. so hence i chose to miss the game and have fun instead. i REALLY don't regret my decision. (:

PA turned out to have the largest number of turn ups (: (shows how bonded we are!) though only 3 sec4s of the section came, kahyan, nat and me! got to admit the games were not really all that fun, but being with the PA section once again was wonderful! i enjoyed the first game, coz it was damn funny. we were supposed to create the longest line of things. we used shoes, untied shoe laces, pinafores, cards (from wallets) wallets, hand phone, dismantled hand phone batteries, cover, rubber band, one LONG strand of hair, crayons (from the previous colouring of flag), and many other things, after that we lay on the floor,stretched out our hand, point our toes, willing to do anything just to make the line longer than the rest. and WE WON! (:

the table soccer game (human instead of the weird looking dolls) was also rather fun. crystal and joey joined themselves together at a period of time just to block a ball! too bad no one took a shot of that. it was so unexpected. and they did it on impulse, not communicating with each other at all!

bbq was a failure. apparently, they dumped a whole lot of charcoal and a few starters into the aluminum foil bbq pit and sort of expected it to work by itself. so me and jane had to help them to start the fire. there was also limited food. they only bought sausages, chinese sausages, chicken wings, satay and otah. it's like they are on a budget or something. don't even have stingray! and they were fanning ashes of the charcoal into the food, which seemed super unhygenic to me. so chaiyi, janeal and me went out to tau huay stall to eat (: and we spent a long time chatting (:

night trail was rather screwed. i still think that they shouldn't have used bluetooth to send the clues. just pass using paper or something. then people wouldn't recieve the wrong clues! anyway, it was fun scaring janeal! haha and i was walking beside her when i scared her! haha thankfully she didn't roll down the stairs (: i realised that i scared her at the wrong place only after i screamed at her ): sorry. and wenyi, she just grabbed my shoulders and screamed into my face. actually i saw her already. just that she screamed into my face and i got a shock.

the movies that they brought to screen was also stupid. hcm3 and beverly hills chihuahua. both are movies that i thought was stupid. especially hcm3.
quote from janeal: just sing the song and everything will be solved.
well it really seemed that way in the movie. like how they sing and manage to score points and win. that was stupid. and it was difficult to sleep with that horrible music blasting out of the speakers not to mention that the sound quality was horrid.

i thought that the mpr would not be that cold. so me and janeal chose the best place to sleep! UNDER THE AIR CON!!! and everytime a person walked past and asked us: wah you all not scared cold ar. under the aircon leh! and both of us would burst out laughing hysterically. i laughed till i thought my jaw would drop. and i suffered from stomach cramps from laughing. JANEAL LAH. ALL YOUR FAULT MAKE ME LAUGH! (:

while i was sleeping, janeal was super MOTHERLY and kind and sweet (: she helped cover me with nerissa's sleeping bag. coz apparently i was breathing rather heavily and was curled up. and everytime i move and the sleeping bag didn't cover me, she would help to cover me with it again (: thanks janeal!

anyway, i still woke up halfway, at about 1 or 2am. found it too cold to sleep and moved out to the cyber cafe to defrost. it was freezing in the mpr. i think blew my nose many many times. and we decided to move to the specs stand to sleep. we talked a fair bit and only managed to sleep at bout 4. must the position that i slept in or something. i woke up with a pain in my back. i couldn't straighten or bend without feeling a sharp pain. janeal left at 6am coz of the pain in her leg and arms ): and i still think it's rheumatism.

the next day wasn't very fun. i was too tired to take part in the games. my mind couldn't think or work properly. so when they went to play captain's ball, me, chaiyi, mich and nat (who came back) sat down at the cca board and talked (:

went home feeling super tired. thankfully didn't suffer from motion sickness from the bus ride (:

just came back from my tennis competition! AND AND I WON!!! found it super amazing that i won considering that i had only bout 2.5 hours of sleep last night. and i was stoning throughout the first part of the game (: the first set was super close. we took turns breaking each other's serve and holding serve. so the score was a close one. 6-6 with tie break 8-6. it was madness i tell you. i really thought that i would lose. the next set wasn't much better. i was 4-0 down. and then suddenly i realised that i was losing super badly or something and then suddenly i began to pick up real fast. and i caught up to 6-4, ending the match. i really thought that i would get trashed or something. anyway, the next match would be horrible! i'm against seeded 1 AGAIN. another round of getting trashed ):



talking about tennis competition. there was something i saw at kallang that i found very disturbing. i was watching my brother play his match. the boy was young. bout 11 or 12. his skills were not bad, he could run, could hit, could spin the ball well. in all a respectable player and was seeded 8th. but what i couldn't stand was the fact that his parents were overly demanding. they expected him to win. both parents and the grandfather came just to watch him play! and the father even stood right outside the court. okay it isn't wrong to support his son. but his actions irked me. at the beginning of the game, my brother won the first game. immdiately, the father's expression changed. he told his son "tennis is the only thing you have. if you don't win, don't walk out of the court". come on lah. there must always be a winner and loser. another thing that i couldn't stand about him was that he was always telling the son if the ball was out or in. how accurate can he get? he is outside of the court. how can he tell if the ball is out or in? obviously he does not or never took physics. there is such thing called parallel error? and every time his son hits a good shot, he claps. every time my brother hit a good shot, he shoots my brother a dirty look. yucks!!! just thinking about it makes me what to puke. i really pity his son. have such a demanding father. his son is just like a puppet.

tennis is all about enjoying the game, playing your best. not just tennis, any sport. it's just a game. there will always be a winner and a loser. even if you are a very good player, there would always be someone who would be better than you. the better and more hardworking player should win and deserve to win. it's not about being kiasu, and calling the ball out even if it's not so that you can gain points and win.

i was too tired to type yesterday, so i didn't' update.
anyway, me, yihsin, mich, suxian went OCC yesterday.
we were super "lucky" and it must be thanks to michelle! (inside joke) we wanted to bowl after swimming, but they were having competition the whole day and lanes were closed. later we wanted to play tennis, but then it suddenly started raining super heavily! so we played table tennis and pool! and i got to say that i suck at pool but we had fun. beside us, there were many tables of people but we were clearly the lousiest. the second time we played, there was this stupid woman beside us and within our first 5 mins there, she was already shaking her head at us and shooting us dirty looks. for goodness sake, we are just kids. give us a break lah. i know we were making a fool of ourselves but there's no need to be so serious. it's just a game and we are out to have fun. okay i really shouldn't be bitching about her.

on a lighter note, i found my prom dress! but i have yet to find my heels. haha i know my dress doesn't look like a prom dress but who cares! it's super simple and there's sleeves and somewhat a collar! i don't care. even though i know it's too conservative! -.-

came back from genting yesterday. it wasn't as nice as i expected it to be.

on the trip there, my bro forgot to bring his jacket. halfway there, the bus had a tyre puncture and we had to sit in a freezing bus to the nearest rest point. we waited for nearly 3 hours for the tyre to be fixed. our expected time of arrival at genting was 4am. but due to the delay, we arrived at 7 am, beat, tired and grumpy. we did not have enough sleep but had to pull through the entire day. the theme park wasnt' that all fantastic as well. the rides were old and it was small. anyway.



during breakfast on sun, i was eavesdropping (as usual) and i heard this family's conversation.

little boy: (scolding brother)

father: naughty boy. how can you scold your brother etc.......

little boy: i not naughty i very good. coz kor kor say something wrong

father: very naughty. see everybody looking at you already. so naughty i don't want to talk to you

little boy: but i want to talk to you. i good boy. not naughty

father: keep quiet, i don't want to talk to you

little boy: but i like you. i want to talk to you. i good boy. i love you



this continued for another half an hour or so and i was sitting at the table next to them, laughing.

i was thinking if the boy was a little older, maybe he would have been a little more rebelious and more daring, the arguement wouldn't have been that way. if i had been the little boy, i would have said something along the line of don't want to talk to me don't talk to me lah. like i care like that. but the boy was so cute. he kept pestering the father to talk to him.



on friday, before i left for genting, i went out for class outing at kallang leisure centre. we went iceskating. i still don't know how to skate backwards though, but michelle, suxian and wenman managed to skate quite a fair bit even though it was their first time.



after skating and lunch at kfc, me and yihsin went bowling. while the rest went to plaza sing to shop. i managed to win yihsin!

after that we caught up with them at plaza sing. i was on a 12 dollar budget to buy a mouse for my laptop and i managed to find one that cost 10! haha

while at the shop something comical happened. wenman and company were looking at the ipod skins and screen protector. then yihsin said to me: isn't ipod cheap? it's only 15 dollars! i got a shock and i stared at her and asked her: do you know these are only the skins? and i stood there and laughed non-stop.

after buying the mouse, i wanted to eat ice-cream and i found out that i had 3 dollars and 30 cents left. and yihsin had 20 cents left. and the stupid ice-cream cost 4.50. so we borrowed money from suxian my wallet was totally empty after that. i think i spent bout 50 dollars that day!

Os are ending! something to be happy about (: but even after Os, we STILL need to go back to sch. after bio, need to stay back. and on friday, need to go back for prize presentation. but on a high note, after prize presentation, i have class outing at kallang leisure centre (:

oh well Os were not too bad (: overall, this year's papers were WEIRD! it's nt the normal kind of questions, where it was so straight forward. like the amath paper, it was rather difficult. and the physics paper, that was hell and paper 1 (which i took today) wasn't much better. we didn't even know if our ans were correct. like whether the object is in equilibrium or not. unseen prose for lit was hard. i didn't know what the two groups of people they were talking about were, though the Mockingbird was quite okay. anyway, it's over.

2 more papers left! and all of them are mcqs!

i don't even feel like studying! actually i never left like studying. like before the Os, when i'm supposed to feel stressed, i'm not. and in the middle of Os, i'm still going for all my activities, taekwondo, tennis etc, while people are studying at home, i out slacking, playing. well, i got to say that my life never change because of Os. that a good thing? i don't know.

actually lots of funny things happen during the period of time when i was abstaining from blogging. like how my brother thought prosecution was being taken a prostitute. and how yishin, didn't know what is taohuay, and tried to argue that it was some other name in taiwan, when she didn't even know what was the name and I HAD TO REMIND HER WHAT IT WAS CALLED. the rest i can't remember. but studying in sch with wenman, yishsin was fun.
