MIDYEARS

well, today was the LAST DAY of all my papers
HARDEST PAPER: maths
seriously, even chinese was relatively easier for me to understand. i fell asleep like at the last part of the paper. the room was just soooo hot, so humid, dreary atmosphere, MANY, i repeat, MANY fell asleep during chinese.
i kinda expect what kind of results i'll get, considering the fact that my whole june holidays was JAM-PACKED, like sardines :D

well, today after the papers, went out with my classmates to lookout for a jersey design. we went to anchorpoint for lunch, then queensway. then MAHJONG at connie's house! whee! mahjong frenzy! (((((((((((((: BUTT, out of the many rounds, connie & i only won ONCE -_-. shuhui & carmen won 7 TIMES!! but all small win, compared to zhanyong's HUMONGOUS WIN, whereby he won 16 from each player -_-. we lost 46 ):
7 things i've learnt today:
1. aaron's crazy about subway
2. aaron & zhanyong dislike dogs
3. connie's dog is super unfriendly
4. how to play mahjong with money
5. i've walked over 120000 steps
6. mua-ji is NICE
7. drinks from the foodcourt at anchorpoint is A RIPOFF, $1.50 for a can!

ahh, my competition clashes with my alevels chinese oral. man, the chinese teachers back in fairfield prepared us, drilled us, just for olevels. now that it's alevels, i feel that the chinese teachers in pioneer aren't even doing anything. won't be taking my orals with my class, it is being pushed forward -_- so NOT prepared. i hope orals this time WILL BE better compared to olevels whereby i didn't say much, SERIOUSLY. i was like the fastest in & fastest out. chinese, to me, is like a seriously tedious puzzle. i have to take the chinese words, break it up, translate into english from there & then piece it together. chinese doesn't come easily to me AT ALL. HATE CHINESE. my opinion of people speaking chinese everywhere they go? you suck i hate you. nah, just joking. i just wanna know the basics of chinese & leave it all behind. i don't converse in chinese AT ALL, AT ALL, AT ALL. even if i do, it'll come out all weird. there's like this angmoh speaking chinese kind of slang. anyway, enough of chinese.

training tomorrow (: probably WANTED at night with joash. HAHA, he says he gonna try follow the canoeing food ban. we're gonna eat HEALTHY tomorrow. HAHA! well, healthy for him anyway, i've been stuck with the foodban for like 3 months? it's become like a way of life for me. people still find it crazy going without chilli & icecream. yayy, the whole team i crazy.

ahh, kimberly's farewell party. argh, i'm gonna miss my beloved godsister ): growing up with her was FUN! i remember going on holidays with her. australia, malaysia, thailand, america! whee, we're all so cute back then in australia & america. the party was UBER-CROWDED that the 'kids' left & went to the playground. OHOH, FINALLY MET DOROTHY TANG!!! AHHHHHHH, DOROTHY, MISSED YOU TONNS! it's like the moment i saw you, i was so damn happy & excited :D after all those years of not seeing each other, we could still CLICK. i remember those childish times when we talked about our crushes & stuff, HAHA. i remember the day you said you were leaving, i felt immense sadness. a childhood friend leaving after we've gone through so much. i remember hanging around the shaky monkeybars watching the guys play soccer. i remember having dinner with you at THE PINES & we were quite fascinated with the toilet. talking to you again felt great. it was good that you came that day, thank God you joined canoeing, i have TONS of stuff to talk with you about & not being the only one teased. FOR ONCE, i wasn't teased that much (:

okay, at the playground. played FISH OUT OF WATER & FREEZE&MELT. it was like revisiting our childhood. running around all sweaty, like crazy women, the 4 of us, dorothy fiona stephanie & joanna, catching the rest of the 'kids'. sherrill was easy to catch (: mark shaunauld timothy joel max were just simply energizer bunnies. HARD TO CATCH! it was damn fun :D then after dorothy left, we started hanging around the bars. DANGEROUS!

my 7 thought about canoeing:
1. anyone that leaves, will seriously, break my heart. i really LOVE the team so much! we've gone through all the pissing off shit that gels us together. why leave?
2. i push myself hard during every training, i FOCUS.
3. hate capsizing, it just demoralizes me. but that's the only way once can learn.
4. it's a TEAM. no one can do without another. one seriously has to realize the effing importance of just being there for one another, backing each other up during training. T.E.A.M=Together Each Achieves More. How can the team improve if just one is lacking?
5. i'm sooooooo have to get more girls in next year
6. macritchie waters are getting dirtier
7. according to my watch, 8 DAYS left to NATIONALS!(:

I WILL NOT change the colour of my tagboard. HAHAHA. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D i'm a meany. it's unique. i know it's hard to see, but you can like, highlight it? or just plain squinting at the screen (:

one sentence to describe my june holidays:
training, training, & more trainings

everybody's asking me did i have a chance to study?
the answer is YES. but, i'm not sure how in-depth it is & i so don't wanna have to rely on last minute cramming.

i throughly enjoyed the double trainings almost everyday & competition is COMING RIGHT AFTER THE EXAMS. i'm am SO GLAD, that the last training of the june intensive month, ended on a good note. THE LAST 100m that the k4 rowed (me purnima atiqah siti ), was absolutely stable & my mind was really working, as in, i was able to tell myself to twist, lock my arms, that kind of stuff... usually the k4 would have tilts here & there, BUT it didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! it was ABSOLUTELY STABLE!!!!!! & cause we started late, we ended like really really late & the four of us were really bushed, so we didn't have to carry our boat. the guys helped us (: mr ang's really a nice nice guy. i'm so proud of this k4, BUT we've gotta work on speed, power, strength & most importantly, our starts.

there's so much to say that has happened but one thing that really struck me was THIS THING. okay, let's give a name to this person, X. & another person, Y. X scolds Y for hitting the boat against the shed's sides. X totally flares up at the heat of the moment & Y just keeps quiet. X continues by saying that Y has been repeating that action causing a lot of damage to the boats, but in fact, it's Y's first time. this is totally accusing Y. X's continues to yell at Y till Y & partner has 2 boats & walks off to the bay. i sooooooo wanted to say something in defense of Y & let X know that it's not right to flare up in that kind of manner. i mean, the seniors have been telling the juniors time & time again to be careful with the boats & they have been telling me to tell them to get IT inside their brains. sometimes, the way that the seniors conduct themselves is just not right & it does affect the morale of the team. however, i think it's for our own good. everybody has their mood swings & bad days.

it's hard trying to keep the team together. people are giving me lame excuses, so how would i know whether is it really geniune or fake? i really do not wish to see anybody leaving the team, we've been through so much, why drop out now just because of your parents or your studies? seriously, what i believe, if canoeing is your first priority & YOUR PASSION, you'll never let anything stand in your way. but, remember fiona, some people just don't have the understanding family that God has given you, some people just don't have what you have, you have to understand that. you just don't know how blessed YOU are. fiona, GO TO CHURCH, READ YOUR BIBLE, PRAY EVERYDAY. are YOU doing that?

it's true that canoeing leaves me dead tired everyday, but i push myself to study. sigh, i'm banging my head against the table, if ONLY I HAD A GREATER MOTIVATION.

ahh, tila tequila's HOT. the 2nd season is totally WACK! there's just SOOOO much drama, SOOOO much violence, & SOOOO much crying this time round. yayy, i love AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL. yayy, GHOST WHISPERER's back! whatever you do, DON'T watch this movie! it's FUTURAMA: THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS. okay, it's okay to watch it, but DON'T waste money to go to a cinema to watch it. unless, you're a totally fan of the previous movie, BENDER'S BIG SCORE, then watch it.

just replaying those incidents;over&overagain.

happy father's day

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY! <3
my dad is just the silliest. we put his fathers' day gift in his cupboard since last night. & from last night to this morning, he totally didn't see it! i mean who doesn't look at their clothes when opening their wardrobes? apparently my dad, he just takes any shirt he sees & puts it on. only when my mum made him go up to his room again & search the cupboard did he then see it. -_-" so anyway, the family got him calvin klein cologne & deoderant. my dad said it was just what he really needed. yayy! :D

looking at him just gives me the motivation, to do anything (:

you make me go head over heels in ecstasy
your eyes never stop sparkling, like diamonds in the sky
the way you move, such charisma and masculinity.
the way your body arches over, such force
i always know when you're nearby
you're my eyecandy (:

tomorrow's THE day.
womens' championship (: all that we've worked for. all that perspiration drops, the capsizing, the scoldings, the reminders, the shit i've went through, all comes down to TOMORROW. GO K4!
i seriously don't want to disappoint anyone, i just want to row my best!

purnima! i don't know if you'll ever see this, but i DON'T want you to give up! ever! push on! maybe a miracle will happen but the team will never be the same without you, so i want you to continue rowing like there's NO TOMORROW. i've be shouted at before & the feeling isn't nice AT ALL. believe me, when i tell you to cry, just let it all out. it's not good to bottle it up all inside. share with the team how you feel kay? we'll always be there for you!

celebrated nicholas's & siti's birthday yesterday at swensens! it was really funny. just the 5 of us, having much fun & laughter. padey's really the king, he's awesome! he managed to keep nic and siti occupied while me & qianru went to get the cake for the birthday kids. this mini celebration PLUS the cards i made for them, was sort of quite memorable. the birthday celebration was super impromptu! anyway, it was GREAT FUN!
