Updates are necessary for survival. -xtine
that explains this entry.
so. netball training. i'm so sian of netball already!!!! no wonder most people quit after sec school and dun play in jc. sigh. i love playing netball, but i really really miss the old way of training. although i do admit that i've learnt new things etc since coming here. no thanks to ms siow, unfortunately.
ogl meeting. my first banner painting session. it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, except that my nails are now uber dirty. *cross*
deSpace. hm. lets just say it was... usual. but we did get the clock. and we got some lonnngggggg poles. which thankfully still fitted in the lift, saving me a 10-storey climb.
i know, i know, these entries are boring. hey, i cant be bothered to think.
YOU come up with something, then. my brain's dead. haha gonna die at dance today. *sigh* i hate being random. it makes me feel loserish. but hey, when you're nearly brain-dead, random-ness is preferable. to complete stoning, at least. =)

Saturday26.11.05i love my friends.
thank you so much:
yirui
mark
jastine
xinhui
michelle
nicole
last but not least, xtine !!
*hugs* haha i seem to be doing this a lot lately, but well, yeah, thanks so much
!! it really meant a lot to me, and all your support really gave me confidence today.
so. we played republic poly.
lets recap - rp beat sa (by quite a lot). sa beat vj 41-30 (which is also quite a lot). our chances of winning? lets just say its better not to be too optimistic.
but after the first quarter, the score was 23-24. so close!! at first i was super intimidated and everything, but slowly managed to calm down. the bad thing about being a defender is that you feel that every pass that lands in the hands of the opp team in your area is your fault. even more if you're a keeper (which i was today), because the player you're guarding (as a shooter) is the one scoring all the goals.
me and jacq (gk and gd respectively) were
QUITE worried. our shooters were
REALLY tall.
i felt like i was under a lot of pressure. i could hear wanling and others shouting directions from across the court. it was very confusing and i wasnt too sure what they wanted me to do. >< i was also worried that jacq would be really angry/disappointed in me. after all, she's been playing with wanling and glanies, just the world's best defenders. so im exaggerating, but they ARE very good. another worry was that if i did not show i could play gk, i'd be stuck as a wd for the rest of my time in vj. i like playing wd - like glan says, its fun - but i like playing gd/gk too.
then they switched the shooter to this small darkskinned girl. so happy! haha i actually managed to intercept the pass to her, and their coach shouted, "XXXX's not that tall! look where you're throwing! her defender is taller than her!" after that, they didnt lob as much to her. haha. and it rained (we played on) and the court was really slippery. a girl from the opp defence did a split trying to catch the ball. everyone kept missing passes and sliding and falling cos of the wet ball/ground. however, this also meant we were not tired - the slippery floor made everyone run less and more slowly, thus conserving energy. all in all, it was a good game. the last quarter, a lot of shots were wasted, but i felt that our team was coorperating better now.
the final score was 36-40, to rp. =)

Friday25.11.05haha. i've decided that talking to my juniors is very confusing. firstly i havent met them. sure i've seen a few of their pictures on their display pics, but its very hard to connect the people i talk to to the faces in their pictures, let alone to their names on the namelist. i keep mixing everyone up. it doesn't help that i've got short term memory loss either. i just asked the nygh girl if she was from vs. ahhahhaha. plus the fact that they're from all classes complicates things. sheesh, sheesh, sheesh.
i've also realised that many people have more than one email (ok so thats old news) and that many do not give their msn email, if they have one. haha so it turns out so far i've been talking to lots of vs guys. *sigh*
its also very difficult to keep track of everyone else now. like, i know daniel has some camp at vs. and so does that junior. if im not wrong, the same camp. except that it should end tomorrow but daniel was online tonight. confusion. and then jastine's going on holiday. and i thought melissa was going too but apparently not because she's online and she's just said she'll be going for saturday's game with rp (republic poly). she'd better. with only 8 players showing up, we're gonna be tired like hell, and she plays center. the most tiring position. so yup. hope she's well enough to play. she was sick. come to think of it, so is xtine. and daniel and david, i think. and then thats a different daniel. stop, stop, stop.
i'm confusing myself, aren't i?
so its emily, jastine, farhanah, glanies, all going on holiday. yes i
KNOW there is a junior from vs going on holiday too. jay, i think. simin is oh holiday, i think....and lemuel and gerry are going thailand. and simran, so don't sms her. >< haha. i give up. my head's crammed full of unimportant and necessary facts, as well as important and unnecessary ones. oh, boy. bother, bother, bother.
oh, and i can't find i single experience junior to drag into netball. *frustrated* haha we're in quite a state now. without wanling, we wouldnt even scrape by. please, please, please.
we're gonna get trashed like hell on saturday. rp's tall
AND good. they beat sajc, who beat us 41-30. 41-30! plus, ms siow reshuffled lots of people. now i'm gk. i know, i like playing gd/ga, and i love not worrying about the centre pass, but hey, i havent played gk in months. months! and i havent trained as a gk in vj. we cant work together yet, today's game showed us that. rp is no uwc. they dont drop passes all over the place, or make
stupid mistakes that give us the ball all the time. help, help, help.haha. so we've come to this relatively long entry that has probably bored you off your com if you bothered to actually read it. its one of those entries i hate on other people's blogs, just full of comings and goings and boring life events that no one understands because you mumble. funny how the world turns hypocritical even when you're not down, angsty or plain insincere.
bang, bang, bang.
*bsh*
=)

VJ NETBALLERS GO!!
haha. had our first game today. glanies had a tough neckache, couldnt even turn her head (which is sucky for her cos she's a defender, and for us cos she's a super defender). so wanling and farhanah gave her shoulder massages. the game was ok. we won 41-4. and yes, because the other school....lets face it, if they didnt step when they caught the ball, they didnt balance, thus they threw badly and i hardly needed to reach to catch the ball. just lovely PLOPPED into my hands. but still. our first game, and 4 out of our 11 players havent played a real game before. not bad.
thank you christine, chun han, jastine and yirui for the wishes!! they really helped me to calm down and play properly. i was so keyed up during warm up i couldnt catch. not till we did highest point then i started playing properly. >< haha anyway, it went alright. i played WD. sad. i think i'm being demoted. haha wanling and glanies are just too pro can. every time the ball went to the opponents, i'd be like, "ok, maybe it'll actually come my way now," and then before you know it, the ball would stop midair and you'd realise wanling or glanies had gotten it. -_- haha me and jacq were like, "no business this side of the court leh..." haha whoohoo. but the sad side is i think i've really been demoted from first line-up. i only went in 2 quarters (was afraid i wouldnt go in at all!) but it was great. yeah man.
today gave nazri and daniel their birthday cards. it was funny cos last night i sat down to start on christmas presents, then i realised i hadn't made daniel (or) a card. well, he's my brother, his birthday party's next week, as well as his birthday. better make right. then i realised that daniel (ong)'s birthday wasnt too far over, and i should probably make him one too, right? after all, IPO chair, psl group member. so i sat down to make it. then realised that nazri (our table aka vice-chair) 's birthday is only just over too. so ended up making them both cards, then going to sleep. lol.
in any case. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN! haha =) and GO VJ NETBALLERS!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAZRI!!!!! (ok im SORRY but i cant do caps on my blog ok? bah.)
haha oh by the way, i have not gotten you a present yet. i am very sorry, and this is not a political statement about friendship. i really cant find anything. sorry.
HAPPY SILVER ANNIVERSARY, MR & MRS LAM!!!
haha auntie meiling and uncle lam had their wedding anniversary last night! it was so much fun =) !! mum went to get her saree (tsk tsk...last minute ah..) then we rushed to the tailors to get it made. luckily found this really nice woman who not only fixed our sarees within 2 hours, she helped us get ready (of course we had no idea how to wear them) later when we came back to collect them. mine was green (stole mum's hehe) and mum's was blue with a rainbow drape.
new park hotel is quite nice. it was super fun!!! everyone was all dolled up and having the time of their lives. i absolutely LOVE indian sarees. david and daniel looked really handsome too!! mel was wearing a tube and i told her she looked half naked haha and -_- joel was there. ??!?!?! haha but he's quite fun to have around la. makes everyone laugh and all. haha and when he saw me arrive and he was like, "ooo you look pretty tonight" in what i suppose he thinks is a sexy voice. i was like, "sorry, i'm taken *wink* " haha and after that he was like "fine, go away, rejectionist" and went after eugenia (in an almost identical green saree). haha he was really high can. making all manner of sick jokes at the table until i wanted to slap him. haha luckily mel was on my left in between us to neutralise the evil. josh was on my right but thankfully no fireworks. he still seems to posess the incredible ability to make me angry within seconds. everyone looked wonderful!! haha and after that we had dancing and all. it was really really fun. my grandparents and parents are so hip! they were dancing and all too!! haha and uncle andrew is surprisingly good at dancing. uncle gary and auntie diane are super compatible eh. all the teens went "wahhhhh" at them dancing. haha they played footloose (is that how you spell it? it was the song the rocknroll dancers danced to on open house/teachers' day) on the ava and i was like "!!!!!!"
that's it man. my boyfriend is gonna have to be able to dance.
the wedding ceremony was really sweet. rev burke is a WONDERFUL (in caps everything) speaker. when they re-took the vows me and mel were like "i want to get married, get me a guy now!" haha but really. *starry-eyed*
stayed at the hotel with mel and luc. fun! =)
and the price was that i felt really horrible today. didnt even go for ballet. haha. sorry to all the little kids in church whom i snapped at. normally i love kids, but not today. =P
can't wait to watch just like heaven and hp4. *jumps up and down excitedly*

So sad. PSL training's come to an end. i really miss it, even though i hated some parts of it. but i feel so angsty now. depressed. empty. life isn't worth living anymore.
okay. haha. please. i'm not that easily depressed. and i realised that my blog does not allow bolded words, italic words, or capital letters. *cross*
but yeah. i don't know why, i feel like i've become a lot closer to the psls all of a sudden. at the very least, i know them all a little better, especially those from other classes. and i really treasure the times that we all shared.
enough with the nostalgia. today was okay. THANK GOD (that was in caps if you cant see it) that Tina came after all. and nazri. we actually FINISHED the planning!! i know we still have to refine it heaps, but we were making so little progress at first!! i got super depressed haha. it was such a relief to actually have someone on roughly the same wavelength as me. thank you tina! haha seriously, it was wonderful to have to explain and push so much less. and also thank you to chunhan, nazri, shaosheng, jastine and yirui who were there. and darren. *faints* haha but HEY (that was in caps too) we're nearly there, folks!! haha or at least halfway lol. yayy. the ip orientation will rock. psls'06 forever!! haha

now please. dont get the idea that i blog very little. i blog quite a bit, but i always a) never finish the post b) decide that the post is too personal and therefore it never gets onto my public blog.
and please. don't think to deeply. i don't have a "private" blog. blogs are public in general. as in they stay on my com/in my mind. =)
anyway. so this week. psl training. hm.
day 1 rocked.
day 2. the grouping sucked. im sorry to all my group members. nothing personal. but )&*%$ thanks ah. im the only 13-er in my group. THANKS AH. have some SENSITIVITY sometimes. seriously, i didnt realise how selfish some people can be. really lor.
of course. i already knew how selfish i could be. no surprises there, either.
day 3. just when i was starting to get to know my group members and all. i mean, i was kinda ruffled yesterday. its just that i hate grouping ourselves. ive had enough experiences being last to find a group, after all. so anyway. when im uncomfortable im either damn quiet or damn loud. so yes. it wasnt so bad la. my groupmates now ARE nice - zhangyang, henry, daniel, jomaine and tina. i'm impressed at jomaine's sensitivity and tina's ability to handle difficult situations. yupyup.
was rather disappointed with ipo groupings too. bah. i knew i was selfish, but this is the first time i've been such a sore loser. i tell you, i could have killed myself ok. *slaps self*
so anyway. okay now. =D quite happy for daniel and nazri. they'll make wonderful chairs. or rather. chair and table. so they'll make wonderful furniture. XD
not sure what tomorrow will be like. btw, did i add that im impressed at nick and shakura and olivia's psl-ing abilities too? they're like... subtle enough and know how to deal with situations. oh. and chunhan's ability to include many too. yup. some of the other psls are just rather... insensitive? i dunno. not like im a model on sensitivity, after all. i just think that certain situations which i saw them handle, they did not do too well...either they didnt notice, or when other people pointed it out, they were too pushy/did not know how to respond appropriately. *shrug*
haha. so overall. its been ok. =S in any case, ive learnt lots about myself, others, and how to accept things as they come. daniel 3:16-18 =)
