Flying off in about 9 hours' time! Will be back just in time to shout '3,2,1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!'. Haha.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advanced! ^^
Shots! Gotta do better!
Monday, December 15, 2008 8:41 PM
I don't know why my alarm didn't go off this morning! I woke up at like 8.45am. Omg, that's like 45 minutes past the time I set my alarm at. Argh, stupid phone! My mom woke up at like 9am and was like 'you're still here?'. I was so flustered and got so irritated by her comment that I was shouting 'Yalar yalar, I'M LATE!!! So leave me alone.' I seriously was, because my training is at Kallang, not school. Rushed like shit, I reached Valhall at like 10.05am? You know I saw this cab drove past while I was walking to Valhall, and I was praying that it wasn't Coach in it. Lol. Thank goodness it really wasn't. Coach walked into Valhall just right after I finish doing my warmups and was hopping into the court or else I would have to give him a valid reason for being late, which is, not much of a valid reason. Lol.

Training was alright but I was so disappointed with my static shots. Totally cannot make it la! Look like passes instead. Then Coach pulled me back, while the rest were still doing practising static shooting, to see why I couldn't do static shots and contact wrist shots. Seriously, I also don't know what's wrong with me too. =(  I found out something today, thanks to Coach's analysis of my movements, that I have a habit of putting my right leg in front of my left when I shoot. My shots tend to be better when I step my right leg up than when I do the same with my left leg? I didn't know that before! Haha, but that's a bad habit. I had to continue practising my lousy static shots while the rest of the girls got to do penalty shots! My favourite... =( Somemore Coach invented this new penalty game! Everyone gets a try, if you shoot in, you continue to stay in line, if not, you're out, the last girl standing wins. Looks damn fun la! But I didn't get to play. =(

Thank goodness there's no friendly tomorrow. Relieved, because it's too sudden to have a friendly. Hahaha. Okay, I've to get back to doing Econs project research. Pollution, here I come!!!
No time
Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:35 PM
AAAHHH! So many things to do, so little time to complete them. Tomorrow: floorball training, Beta House banner- and tiki-making, Econs project. Tuesday: floorball training, Beta House banner- and tiki-making, Econs project, AHS table tennis chalet (not there to have fun, but to discuss the noticeboard). Wednesday: Econs project. Thursday: floorball training, Econs project, noticeboard. And there's TJC table tennis chalet and noticeboard not settled yet! On top of that, I still have to squeeze in time to finish GP, Math and Chemistry? All that in 4 days! Tell me how is that possible? I feel like splitting myself into 4 tomorrow and be at 4 different places at one time - Valhall, school, Pris' house and at my study table doing Math. Hahaha. Okay, I should be thankful that there's no table tennis training this upcoming week. But honestly, I'm not too thankful for it, because training is like, swapped for doing noticeboard instead? And I absolutely have no idea in mind of how the design should be like, probably will turn out quite a failure. Lol. What do you expect? The last time I did something artsy was in Sec 2 art & craft lesson.

Alright, I need to go do my essay outline on euthanasia now or I can forget about sleeping for the next 4 days. Thank goodness yesterday's Straits Times did a whole Saturday Special Report on it (that's the merit of leaving something right to the last-minute, lol) or I probably have to spend more time researching on it. Here's something funny, I didn't know what euthanasia was or neither did I know how it was spelled until I was looking through my GP essays guidebook in preparation for promos this year. I always thought it was some country in Asia whenever I hear Ms Thangam using the word. I was like, 'okay, maybe I didn't know such a country existed'. True, legalising euthanasia -- legalising a country didn't quite make sense to me initially, but I was too lazy to even ask or check the dictionary. Lol. Taught me not to be so lazy in future.
First Nightingales training
Saturday, December 13, 2008 9:21 PM
Went for my first Nightingales training today, with Teresa! Haha, was kinda nervous before training started because I didn't know what to expect. But the people were really friendly, so I guess I was back to my normal self after a while. We did some drills and shielding. Teresa and I learnt a good way to kill from the Nighthawks guys. I seriously thought it is damn good, I reckon it will get me the ball in like, less than half the time we usually take. One swift action, less pushing, less time. Shall try that out in school when we are required to kill. Haha.

Then we played match against the Nighthawks guys. A pretty handicapped one for them. 5 girls plus a goalie against 3 guys with open big goal. My first time playing against guys ever since I picked up floorball. Now I know why I never got to play against an all-guys team. The guys are so damn fast, I was panting away even before the first break came. But it was damn fun, I ran my heart out, it didn't seem so tiring as the game progressed. And then you feel like your heart's gonna drop out(1 goal conceded=20 push ups. At one point, we were at like 80 pushups? But we managed to reduce that by minus-ing the guys' pushups) when you see one of the guys is about to score, and go OMG when he scores or when he doesn't, but the keeper made a really good save instead? I think the keeper's super good? Without him, I think we probably conceded about 3 more goals or so. Haha.

Had loads of fun. Looking forward to going back there when I'm back from overseas! ^^
Photos from 4F BBQ @ Tracy's House

4F BBQ @ Tracy's house last Friday:



Sports Babes





Sports Hunks + alittle of boy love (see top right pic)

Alot of boy love? Haha.






Thanks Tracy and her family for the wonderful BBQ! Everything was so delicious! I usually don't eat much at BBQs but there, I gobbled down like 5 sausages, 5 satays, 5 otahs, 5 chicken wings, 5 marshmallows, 5 prawns and one big plate of bee hoon. Haha, what a pig. 

And don't be mistaken when I use the terms 'sports babes' and 'sports hunks'. We're not that egoistic although we are sometimes, that it makes people hate us, alot. Haha. Okay, for this case, we're not. It's just that we were all from Sportsclass, so they are just terms used casually sometimes to refer to the girls or guys.

 Sportsclass '04-07!

Those were probably the best years of my life.
Photos from Internship!

As promised, photos from my internship (even though it's almost a week late, lol) :

Cafeteria

Cookies and Card we made for Min (same for the rest of our colleagues)

Star!

With Jing Heng! Haha =P


Welcome to our (messy) lockers!







The people who made my internship a really enjoyable one!

Almost everything's in collages because it would take me forever to put the same number of photos one-by-one on blogger. Picasa 3 has the best collage maker ever! I thought Picasa 2 was good enough, but Picasa 3 has even more collages designs. First was Google Earth, then it was Google Chrome(super fast browser, I'm using it instead of IE now), and now it's Picasa 3. Google never cease to amaze me. And best of all, all of these are FREE! Great for cheapos like me. Lol.

Anyway, back to topic, for those who takes lots of photos but finds it a chore to upload them to blogger, I recommend Picasa 3! The only complaint I have(make that two) is that the resulting collage file size is quite huge at about 2MB+ and I think the collages look small on my blog? But I think I know how to fix it, I forgot to change the dimensions of the collages. =X The collages of the BBQ pictures I'm going to upload tomorrow should be bigger, I hope. But for now, just click on the photos to enlarge them.
Back to trainings
Monday, December 01, 2008 6:35 PM
I was late for training this morning because...I was cleaning my grip. =X  But it was so black and dirty that I couldn't resist cleaning it. Hahaha. But that isn't really a valid reason to tell Coach why I was late. Plus, he was so angry today so I decided to keep the reason to myself. We had to run 5 rounds on the track under 15 minutes as punishment. Super tiring. Thought I couldn't survive training after that but thank goodness I did.

Got home after that, lunched and watched The Golden Bell Challenge on KBS World. Pretty educational. Who would have guessed that the wrinkliest human body part is the lips? Not me, I was guessing the palm instead.

Attempted to do my GP essay outline but I gave up after writing two points. Lol. Shall continue that tomorrow.

Alright, shall go practise alittle of piano before I watch idol dramas again. Will upload the internship photos either tonight or tomorrow when I have the time and not watching dramas. Lol.
