Today was the down-in-the-dumps kind of day. It started off with an argument with my mum in the morning over some money matters while I was in a frenzy, trying to print my PI research materials before rushing off for school. She was the one who started it, making such a big fuss over something so trivial. She's the one being so unreasonable. It's not like we can't afford it, it's not like I'm being extravagant, it's not like I didn't explain to her the reason behind my request, it's not like I'm using it for something unimportant, because it is, in fact, for something very important, and it's not like she doesn't know how important it is. I was so frustrated that I yelled back at her, I swear I'd woken up the neighbours. Left for school in Dad's car in a foul mood.

And darn, what I encountered while waiting for assembly to start worsened my already-rotten mood. Sometimes I wonder why I'm so smart to be at the wrong places at the wrong times.

NAPHA was pretty alright. Only thing that lifted up my spirits alittle was doing a personal record for sit-ups and Mr Tan, the new PE teacher who often joins in our table tennis training. He was nice and funny. Before we started the sit-ups item, he was like 'Connie, 40 ah!' Embarrassing because getting a 31 is already quite huge an achievement for me. But funnily, his encouragement did work. I did a 41. While doing, I was thinking to myself, 'Mr Tan wants a 40, prove it to him that you can', and somehow, I managed to drag my body up quicker and faster until the 1 minute was up because I didn't want to feel embarrassed.

Lessons were mediocre. But was feeling quite tired. Kinda dozed off during GP lecture. Contact time was quite good. Actually planned to sleep during it, but didn't, because the acapella group was really good.

Then went for floorball. Was looking forward to playing. But there were some miscommunication, I guess. So some of us were playing catch-ball for awhile and trying out some goalkeeper moves. Lol. Then got to play a small match with the Taiwanese students from the Taiwan Immersion Programme. It was actually a floorball clinic for them. I assisted Xin Hui, the Taiwanese who looks like KC. I must be missing him too much. LOL. Can imagine his ego inflating at an exponential rate while reading this. Haha. Anyway, Xin Hui's goal was super nice! =DC. Was quite comfortable with talking to him despite meeting him for the first time today and Taiwanese somemore! Since when was I comfortable with speaking to someone I don't really know well and speaking my lousy Chinese infront of a native speaker? Guess he resembled KC too much, that's why. Lol. Speaking of KC, I wonder when I'll be seeing KC and Co., and the girls. I hope I'll be able to make it after Sports Appreciation Ceremony next friday.

Anyway, after everything ended, it was desserts at the opposite market with some of the girls.

Felt so helpless when I read the sms at the bus stop. Somehow, I don't want to know the true reason, I'm afraid that it'll be so hurtful that I can never look at that person in the same way again. I want to help so much, but I can't think of anything I can do. =(

Yesterday's evening wasn't any better than today. Performance at table tennis training sucked like hell. Couldn't do the 'las' correctly. Either I was too fast in moving, or too slow, or I dipped my bat too low, or my position was really off. Not one was correctly done. Coach used me many times for examples to point out my mistakes. I'm perfectly alright with it, but it goes to show that I wasn't practising what he had taught. I need to change that. Felt so bad towards Zhihao because I was practising with him and I played like shit, while he was trying hard to receive every ball even though I wasn't exactly hitting them to the right positions.

It's seldom that I have an emo post. But today really sucked right to the core. Sorry, I didn't mean to blog an emo entry but I can't help it.
