snapshots of 2005

okay..

im so damn shagged. dunno why too. been having late nights coz of sth. n i seriously am so tired.

the bballers fulfilled one of my wish the other day by bringing me to marina for steamboat! yoohoo! n i realized it was the same shop where i celebrated my 17th bday w my bunch of jc frens. heh. it was really an enjoyable time spent w them... screaming when the live prawns jumped out of the container.. taking lotsa n lotsa n lotsa photos... n eventually the entire event ended w a few in tears. after all, it was a farewell dinner for our captains. tho we didnt spend much time together... probably 2 wks during ibg tat was before the exams.. n 4 to 5 wks during ihg after exams... but compared to the period of time when we first met during ibg.. we've now gotten so much closer. things gonna be really different w/o them. i may not ve played in any games before... but im certain that they're the best captains n team mates one could ever have. it was so heartwarming... so touching... that i almost teared as well. i loved my captains. i seldom do come across anyone who's so patient... so nice.. so strong on the outside, n yet so soft on the inside. n she never scolds anyone. n the irony was tat some are scared of her because she's simply too nice. we dun ve the courage to tell her tat we wont be down for training cuz it's like disappointing her. sigh. i'll miss them both.

met up w a fren today. havent meet up w her for ages. i feel really happy for her seeing her so joyful. a little cranky tho. but we spent much time chatting.. catching up w each other lives. im really sorry tat i got myself so involved in sch activities... tat i've got so little time for my frens n family. n perhaps i'll just apologise in advance, knowing my schedule for the next yr.. tat i wont ve much time to spare as well. my study n work schedule is more or less planned.. and with hall n sch activities... i'll hardly have time.

today's the last day of 2005. dun intend to do anything special except to rest well before the sch term starts. looking back, i started the year working as an admin assistant in cpf. i met a whole bunch of new frens there. some still do keep in touch... some dont... but once in a while we'll still see each other in sch. everyone's so busy w their hectic lives.. maybe jus hi, bye and how ve u been is enough. but nonetheless, what makes me really happy is my pri sch cum sec sch cum good fren, agnes who'll every now n then chat w me online at least. n i was really happy to be able to work w her in cpf early this yr. however, we eventually moved on to attempt other jobs. we tried to work tgr again... but still ended up in different places. i went to singtel next. hmm. it wasnt tat enjoyable in singtel compared to in cpf. one of the reasons being the lack of friends arnd. but still i survived.. n headed to bangkok w sm n erin for a 8-days holiday! yoohoo! after which... i attended the hall camp.. which was a very different n fun-filled camp. different as compared to the other camps i used to attend. we had very little sleep each day... n we played very hard. n played till very dirty. hahaha. like the mud slide n the fright nite... the initiation etc etc... i love my OG man. then the sch term kicks in. after playing for like 8 months... i've completely lost the momentum to study... it was real hard to start reading notes again... almost every day after sch.. i ended up hall visiting or room visiting. piled up a lot of tutorials undone. so slack tat i see no point in attending lectures n tut. cuz i cant catch up n i dun understand what the lecturers are toking abt. n one month before the exams.. i started to panick n tried to accelerate a bit. it was a stressful period trying to squeeze a 13-week lecture within one wk. 7 modules. with abt half of the modules being completely new to me. like econs n meb... but eventually... i managed to pass everything. tat's already very much satisfying. i'll work hard nxt sem. i promise. really. i'm going to manage my time. n i'll do at least 60% or my tut before the exams. heh. n after exams was the IH. i really enjoyed myself during IH. i loved the netballers n basketballers. they rulez!

hmm. tat's more or less a summary of my life in 2005. not forgetting that time when i received my A levels results... my experience teaching in a pri sch... the amore sessions w agnes n andrea... my first tuition kid, a pri 1 and 2 kiddy n kiddo... den a sec 4 student whom i really enjoyed teaching her.. hmm... n my first time attending a wake.. that reminds me of the deaths i've encountered this yr.

recalling all these... every scene just seems like a video replaying at the back of my mind once again. i wish i could be a magical editor to edit this video of mine. cuz i only wanna keep the happy moments w me.

so tired. i'm going to hibernate.

drained..

okays..

it's thursday! tat means wkends are drawing near! yoohoo! the thing i love abt wkends is being able to go home.. able to eat mommy's food... able to sleep as long as i want.. able to meet up w friends etc etc.

well. i'm now sipping a cup of hot tea and the time is abt 2.20am now. i'm shagged. had 2 trainings and a 'trekkin' from 9 to 9... after which i had to settle some dnd stuffs, and then some publicity stuffs. all the way till now that i managed to finally get some decent rest. the past 2 days had been arnd the same as well.. just tat between and after trainings there was mahjong games. hahaha.

oh. monday was my free day. supposed to be lying at home to eat n slp the whole day, but the kind hearted me woke up at 10 just to accompany my dear fren for lunch. after which i went back to sch n watched squash match. hmm. squash isnt an easy game. it took me 2 matches before i finally understand how the game is played. of cos with evon explaining to me how things work. then i helped shanru to wash her car. went down to popular for a walk. n then to JP for dinner n back for caroling.

had netball match on tues. it was a cool game, tho the opponent isnt cool at all. no sportsmanship at all man. somehow i feel sad for them. shouting and screaming across the courts, so disgraceful, yet we still won. and it was a trash! 38 to 8! haha

planned to go zouk.. but sorry guys. im physically drained.

well. i'll pray hard to have both sat n sun free. given tat there are 2 matches nxt wk, all the more i must pray man.

anws, happy birthday agnes!

bball?

yoohoo..

im feeling so tired la. woke up early for an interview. den wandered arnd frm parkway to bugis to cityhall to dhoby ghaut to somerset n my legs eventually expressed tat they were tired. saw this interesting erm... gift... along the way. jus as ive decided to buy it... i saw the freaking price. it's like close to 200 bucks la! sigh. n tat was on my mind all the time tat frm bugis to somerset.. i couldnt find any gifts already. argh! im so mad la! sigh.

met evon along the way. haha. tat was such a coincidence. okays.. so we decided on a gift exchange for christmas day. now... there're more pressies to prepare le! ahhhh!

okays.. ive finally figured out how to add pic in blogs. wahahahaa. the pic above is the my hall BASKETBALL FEMALE TEAM! yoohoo! let me intro!
first row from left: inez (my ogl), yiping, peishan (my senior neighbor), sok(hmm, is she the vice cap?? haha), jac, liping, shanru (another senior neighbor)
second row: chenwei (mr coach), shiai, evon (my dear neighbor cum classmate), vanessa (pe teacher to be), wanting, geralin (another pe teacher to be), chengling (my neighbor), shiting, ME n lastly esther (my publicity big boss!)
this is one big group of ppl whom i really enjoyed being with. most of them (seniors) are damn pro in bball n netball. they are ever so patience and so kind to guide us freshies. step by step, every defence moves, they teach n they explain n they demo n they correct every single big or small mistakes. they never scold. never shout at us. never lose their temper on us even when we repeat our mistakes. instead, they'll say 'let's practice again, ok?' well... it feels good recalling those times when we were having trainings on the courts. they're the reason why i stayed in hall during the hols. they're the reason why i still go down for trainings despite the aches and the scorching hot sun. i'm glad to have them arnd. n im sorry guys, coz i've not been a good player.

alrites, im tired. nites..

shagged!

brrrrrrrr...

hmm. time kinda passes faster in sch. soon it'll be thurs. haha.

monday was damn shagged. painted a banner for 7 hrs all the way till 3am. goodness. tat was soooooooooooooooooooo bloody long! was so so so so shagged after that. then it was tues. hmm. cant rmb much abt what happened tat day... nth much perhaps. jus trainings n trainings n watching full house in between trainings n at nite. oh... i finished the entire serial! yoohoo! haha.

n today... there's a bball match. i didnt get to play tho... coz i only attended 1 training.. shucks... n i realised im quite bad la. sigh. but the seniors are ever so nice... so encouraging. so i shall train harder! went to watch evon at squash training for a while after the match, then went to the gym. n i almost forgotten abt caroling practice. haha. caroling was fun! n today's the combine. cool. now im anticipating the performing nite! woohoo!

hmm. i tink im pretty dead la. brain dead. i really cant think man. for once i've exhaust myself of all ideas for a perfect gift. now i wonder how my brain used to work in the past. sigh.
