NUS Open.
Ah!
It was definitely an experience with everyone, esp with my team comprising of beloved Regina, Elysia&Stephanie =DDD
Went there without any hopes of winning anything actually.
Haha.
Since I thought my bowling was quite screwed up at the moment.
Roll is weird.
But what do you know!
The lane conditions were actually very nice&oily without being a swimming pool.
Found my line easily&stuck to it - &the strikes just came (:
So the confidence came as well ; that made sparing easier too.
Haha.
Managed to suppress any pressure cos yeah la, this isnt A Div.
Heh.
Would like to thank my fantastic teammates who contributed to the total team score - with all of us combined we managed a 174 team average.
We covered for each other when anybody fell, which I thank God for!
Everything worked out smoothly (:
We had minor hiccups like ALOT OF SPLITS (I had 2 7-10 pins even after a pocket shot!!)& some teammates feeling down but they worked out fine in the end (:
Wanna thank Yewliang for being our supporter throughout the comp, along with the other guys who came before their squad as well as Uncle Adam!
It means a lot to us that we had supporters there who helped our team when we were down.
It also meant a lot to me&Reg when we FINALLY became DOUBLES PARTNERS!
FINALLY!!!
Haha.
We were once doubles partners back in KC in Sec 2, but that was when we didnt know each other well yet.
&now it's really special winning 2nd with her (:
It's a good start!
Haha.
Winning first for team with my team was definitely a bonus.
We didnt expect anything, but YL came to inform us during the third game that we had a chance, so we chionged at the last game&we were definitely amazed&ecstatic!
Haha.
I've finally proved something to my Dad.
He wore both my medals when I came home with it&wanted me to take a picture of him with them (x
It was such a cute sight haha.
Personally, I felt like I bowled my personal best.
177 avg during the first day; 184 during the second.
Felt like I proved something to my coach as well.
He was so proud of SAJC, which made my day (:
On a side note, I'm quite worried.
Bowling trainings&commitments are clashing with schoolwork.
JC2 is tough as hell.
Esp these few days I've been so PMS-y.
Always find myself falling asleep during both lectures&tutorials.
Luckily I dont manage to do so in Lit :X
It's the late nights la.
But cant help it.
It's the massive amount of assignments esp Lit!
I think it's the essays.
Really, I think the Arts people suffer more in terms of schoolwork.
Science people dont need to do any essay besides GP!
Still, I dont think Arts fac is inferior in ANY WAY to the Science fac.
I am still a little annoyed by the fact that teachers have to always compare us.
It doesnt weigh up!
We both have different strengths in different areas.
But also, ultimately, weve all made it to a JC.
So I dont see what the discrimination is for.
I'm addicted to PCD&Justin Timberlake at the moment.
Haha.
Their songs are just so catchy.
Anybody in the same boat with me? (:
♥ Zen @ 6:32 PM.
I am such a lazy ass when it comes to blogging sometimes.
Hehe.
Bowlingwise, the juniors have all received their results&I must say I'm really relieved for most of them for being able to stay on (except for Trish who's here for first 3 months, who is just a few points away&appealing in. I'm sure she'll be able to come in though. She has good qualifications (: ).
I heard that a few of them may not wish to stay on in SA, which is quite sad because we only got to know them better.
Plus there's the KL teambonding trip where the fun is!
I guess it's really up to them because I can understand their position.
As of right now I do have some occurrences whereby I wish I went to TP to do Tourism&Hospitality instead cos of horribly stressful Lit lessons, disappointing Ben (my Math tutor) one too many times&knowing that all the subjects that I take except for Geog&maybe GP will help in my future career next time.
Of course, I dont feel that way when it comes to my classmates&bowling&bowling mates.
They make SA life fun&worth it.
Reiterating my point on Lit, I absolutely abhor the fact that when we're told to sit in class to attempt essay questions for one full hour&I'd usually come out feeling like crap because I always mess up in Lit.
I admit that I'm a weak Lit student but I try.
Ive never given up on Lit before.
I took it up in sec school&got a B3 for O's.
But somehow my grade doesnt reflect on my abilities as of right now.
I just feel so belittled in Lit class.
Feel so pressured at times I cant even THINK.
I can get distracted very easily&lose my train of thought.
The atmosphere is always tensed.
Plus She's always there to make you feel like shit.
With the tensed atmosphere, I dont think you could expect everyone to answer questions.
GP classes are the best because our tutor really understands us&we can relate to her.
She also takes the effort to encourage&praise us (sound Primary school but it works) which makes us feel comfortable enough to actually contribute in class.
Argh. Just talking about Lit makes me feel so frustrated.
I fought for Lit from Chem because I loved Lit.
In Chem classes, I didnt feel productive at all&I felt like I was wasting time there.
Now, I feel too pressured in Lit.
Sigh.
After a hectic week (of CNY shopping, Valentine's Day prep, worrying about unfinished assignments), I AM FINALLY FREE TO SLEEP EARLY! =D
Omg how much I treasure sleep now!
I would love to sleep in for one whole day just to take away those eyebags&fatigue.
Have been falling asleep on my study table halfway through attempting assignments or I'd find myself nodding away after doing my readings.
When I wake up again, I would already be in Sleeping Mode that I wouldnt be able to continue :S
On a lighter note!
Had a memorable Valentine's Day this year with my class (:
I LOVE THEM! (:Every day, we grow closer (:
Weiling, Siying, Rachel, Cherell, Mat, Mumtaz, ZiHui, Boon plus me, Deb&Krystal brought cheesecakes/cupcakes/chocolates/pancakes for potluck while Cheryl&Michelle made heart-shaped notes for the class (:
Distributed a great deal of food to other ppl outside class cos we couldnt finish by ourselves.
Everybody's now swearing off chocolate for a while now at least from yst!
Absolutely JELAT.
Haha.
Me&Krystal went over to Deb's house to bake the day before.
We successfully baked 2 Oreo Cheesecakes, Oatmeal cookies&Peanut Butter cookies!
We baked for 6 hours, stopping only for dinner. Lol.
I LOVE Deb's house.
Soooo big&there's so many mirrors.
Ahahaha.
The concept is really cool too.
Her family is so cute as well (:
After school had training.
Went to VivoCity with the junior girls plus Nicholas Tong.
Anuaar&Aloy came to meet us at Marche for dinner.
Anuaar was supposedly my Valentine that day, who gave me a white rose&a letter.
Other than that he wasnt Valentine-y at all cos he gave Reg the same rose&was busy gaying with Aloy.
Ahaha okay jealous Miss Valentine here, but I'm kidding on the last part!
Plus I was comparing him to Nicholas cos Nicholas was being a much sweeter Valentine to Regina.
He bought eraser pizza slices&gave half the eraser pizza to her.
Ahaha it sounds lame but it's really damn sweet la.
They even took a picture with it la, twas so cute!
New scandal.
Hahaha.
Alright I'm just kidding again.
Before Reg kills me (x
We had gone to Daiso to shop, where I went box-crazy cos I was thinking of clearing my study table of my unruly arrangements of my worksheets, books, accessories&whatnots.
Got a box to store the little stuffs&another box to hold my worksheets.
Ahaha.
Wanted to get a lunchbox too but Reg pulled me out of the shop cos I was taking too long to decide.
Haha.
They were so cheap!
$2 for everything.
Who wouldnt go crazy?
Finally decorated our class' noticeboard at the back with magazine cut outs of hot babes&hot hunks consisting of Paris Hiltion (ew I still dunno why we put her up), Beyonce, Fiona Xie, Nelly Furtado, Wentworth Miller, Justin Timberlake, Julian Hee, Edward Speleers (hehe by yours truly)&many others.
Found a Cleo calendar which consists of hot hunks inside revealing abs&water dripping down their chests kind.
We put that put on the noticeboard at the side of the classroom.
Ahaha!
Damn funny.
It's a free calendar plus it was lying around so why not.
Ahaha.
Nope I wasnt so cheekopeh to check out all the hunks.
I just saw the February&March guys.
Lol.
Went PS after school today with Deb to buy Jade's pressies.
Went Spotlight&Daiso (yes again! Haha).
Yayyy Jade's 18 now!
Deb! Youre catching up soon!
Cant wait till she turns 18 too (:
Did something (which I thought was) quite uncalled for.
In relation to being a Class Rep.
I stormed out of Human Geog tut after coming from Lit class when me&the Lit girls were 3 mins late into class&our tutor told us to get out.
Not so in the interrogating manner but enough to make me turn 180 degrees, say "fine"&walked out quickly that it felt like I stormed out of class.
I dont know what possessed me to be so ultra rebellious&bitchy.
I usually could control my emotions, but this time I think it's cos I couldnt really be bothered la.
I was expecting a little grace from him since he's our CT&all but we didnt get it.
We didnt get it, so I just spilt milk.
Felt so shitty afterwards cos I never envisioned myself doing that to authority.
I'd better get a hold of myself :S
Ah okay I think I've practically ranted my whole life story out here.
Half of it anyways.
If youve read everything from top to bottom I'd say that that's really amazing.
Haha.
Gotta do a lil springcleaning to my room&decorate Jade's present now.
Bye!
Who Am I - Casting Crowns.
