Canoeing finals was ytd and it was one significant event that sparked off the inspiration and motivation in me. knew abt how njc trains and how they actually get gd results too. Discipline is the word. they're just so discplined and focused on what they wanna achieve.
gotta strive really hard for the next chance. then amanda audrey and me were like saying how motivated we are to TRAIN harder for next yr's comp. must train hard!
the weather was a killer. demoralise-r. sighh. germaine's race was first and she was really close to the njc girl ahead of her by just half a boat length, but she managed to get 2nd! wheee. =D
the rest persevered and rowed their very best too, but things just weren't right. sighh. so half a day ended just like tt. with a funshot at the end of it all =)
MOTIVATION.
i sooo MISS TRAINING. ahhhhh.
so straight after tt, we headed for lunch at junction 8's pastamania with natalie, amanda, audrey and daniel. sat there for about an hr, talking abt canoe stuff and the past. was quite fun. and daniel actually wanted to go back to cj for econs lecture but after much persuasion and tempting, he followed us to swimming at nat's grandma's hse. hehh. weather was quite chilly but managed to jump into the pool and started swimming a few laps. nat was like. oh-so-wow! ahhhh haha. dan and her could swim from one end to e other in just a single breath. PRO. i think nobody swan as much as she did ytd.
so yupps just stoned there and soaked in the water and absorbed as much SUN as we could. hahaha. talked from canoe to amanda and cracked other funny stuff. the fun part came when we went to the jaccuzi pool.
played the 'guess-e-no-of-thumbs' game to determine who shld turn on the jacuzzi. haha. and played a few more really kiddo but fun games. cheap thrill. but STILL it was sooo hilarious! hahaha. esp when audrey got high and when amanda started following this old guy tt dan said looks like Shrek. hahaha. it was all out of fun la. laughed and laughed and laughed. =D but it was a pity mandi couldn't join us. =( get well soon yea!
went home, bathed and got rdy to meet joel, jov, evan and yc for dinner at sakae! yummmy. as usual, spent about half an hour just to get down and place our orders. haha. but the whole nite was really fun and enjoyable. as usual, joel was the 'entertainer' who started making us laugh at almost everything even before the food came. poor yc had only $5. and jov had no idea what to order. orders were mixed up and some didn't even arrive. ahhhh bad service. quite. but our nite wasn't ruined! didn't manage to get buffet so had to settle for ala carte. all of us happened to like the Tako Yaki octopus ball thingy and wanted to order more, when as usual, the guys started this thing abt it, calling it BALLS. damn lame but hilarious if you're at the scence. hahah so smth unexpected happened. yc, known as the cls mugger, called for e waitress and blurted, "We need balls." and we were like omg. i didn't even dare to look at the poor girl's expression. but fortunately joel managed to cover up fast enough and said, "we mean TakoYaki." haha! okie enoughh.
hmm. so throughout the nite, we just sat there, talking from results to the top students in our cls (guohao and kaichung!) hahaha. and it somehow connected to me. arghh. abt cards and all. haha! adn jov's face started getting really red as usual. headed up to Sky garden at suntec after dinner and admired the scenery and all. felt so dumb coz nobody has ever brought me there before! ahhhh. took some pics and went home. however we stopped by at Gelare's at Citilink for dessert as mr jov kept asking for dessert like a lil kid! hehh. =) so we had ice-cream with 3 diff flavours. 5 of us gulped it down in just a minute. hahh. played a few rounds of truth or dare and then went home. reached home at about 1130.
it was a FUN-TABULOUS-TIC day okay! =D
it's nice to laugh and EAT. hehh!
got to know my canoe mates and clsmates a lil more and realised there're other more meaningful things in life tt's worth.
