had friendlies on friday.. sch ended earlier.. at 11.55.. man dont i love my timetable. haha. anyway headed to parkway with huang n audrey after that. met allan at the sch sidegate.. while we were all waiting for the gate to open.. he was teasing me for quite awhile.. while i was calling him a vainpot. cos he is one. haha but anyways i take that back.. cos he was soo nice to offer to bring my huge tennis bag with him home then bring it back to sch for the friendlies later in the afternoon!!! considering he was gonna carry his huge 'turtle' bag.. n MY bag.. wow. haha super nice :). well had a nice time with huang n audrey at parkway.. felt so bad having to make them rush back to sch cos i was late for friendlies.. we took the wrong bus back to sch though -.- haha. so anyway took a bus back with allan then went for friendlies at ntu.. partnered faye for doubles.. a pity we lost. it was close. lost 5-6.. tiebreak 5-7.. oh well at least we did quite well i guess. had dinner with the rest at the food centre opp. sch.. the guys were being really lame n stupid -.- haha. yup then allan treated wendy n me to dinner.. haha.
went for training on sat.. met the rest at lavendar mrt before heading to lakeside.. training was alright.. partnered sophia chew for doubles. haha it was quite fun. she was being real blur n haha she got err something stuck in her teeth while using the towel to wipe her face halfway thru the match. teck kheng n bing quan were our opponents.. they were standing there waiting for sophis to be done. haha the 2 guys waiting for sophia and me to continue with the match wondering wat was goin on.. lol. it was funny. went to jurong pt with keow koon after that.. it was quite interesting. went to like a million sports stores before getting the competition top for dee n myself.. havent watched movie in awhile.. had fantastic company n the movie was gd.. interesting. heh :p.

back frm tennis camp..was feelin too awful to blog yesterday so thought i'll just do it today.. had fever the day before camp started -.-... think it was the weather n i was already weak to begin with.. so. yeah. anyway i still decided to go for camp.. since i didnt wanna miss out.. n cos already paid 300 bucks for it.. didnt wanna leave dee alone too.. yep. was the right choice after all :)
day 1
met dee at 6.30am at tanah merah.. lugged out stuff.. took a train to lakeside mrt. met the rest there.. they said i looked real sick.. but oh well. reached the tennis centre.. i tried to play tennis in the hot sun for awhile.. but.. my fever just worse. my whole body felt so freakin heated up.. i was feeling dizzy.. n felt like puking. so i stopped playing.. n took my temp.. 38.7 degrees celsius.. so the coaches told me to take a cold shower.. dee n i then rested in the upper level of the tennis centre.. with this huge fan blowing at us.. n a few mats laid out on the flow to lie down on. thank gdness i saw the doc the night before tennis camp.. so i had medicine. napped while the rest trained.. then the bus came n picked us up.. fetched us to raffles marina to check in. nice place :).. dunno y all the tennis camps i've had so far hav been at raffles marina.. but oh well. haha. dee n i shared a rm.. our balcony faced the lobby.. quite cool. nice rm.. cept for the ants here n there. haha. then we had our dinner at marina bistro.. the guys were teasing alan bout being so gay.. cos he ate so slowly. but he claimed he's 'savouring' his expensive fish n chips -.- whatever. haha. was funny la. then dee n i wandered around a lil.. headed to the arcade. the arcade ate up dee's money though. haha. watchin coach yuwen shoot zombies was funny too though heh. after that we went back to our rm n caught america's next top model. haha. dee was rooting for nic who won.
day 2
woke up at 6.30.. since physical training was scheduled at 7.30.. joined in only a lil of the physical though. had no voice in the morn though. was whispering to denise half the time.. lol. had breakfast.. man breakfast was filling. then the bus fetched us back to the tennis centre n we trained. sun was scorching in the morn.. played frm bout 10am to 2pm.. then had lunch. then played again frm 3 plus to bout 5pm.. then we took the bus back to raffles marina.. bathed n stuff then had our 7 course dinner at the restaurant. yum. haha. took the bus back to the tennis centre again right after that for our friendlies against the adult group from the tennis centre.. played frm 8-11pm.. before goin back to raffles marina to rest. tiring day. think i overexerted. thats why i got worse the next day. oh well. anyway while waiting for the bus to come after dinner.. alan was seriously annoying me. lol. he kept poking fun at my name.. but at least he was apologetic bout smashing at me when we were playing doubles in the afternoon. i was so freaked when he came chargin n smashed at me that i actually shrieked. ugh. dee said she couldnt hear me shriek cos she was screaming too. haha. but it was quite funny cos coach n the other guys all saw then all charged towards alan with racquet n balls in hand to hit at alan for smashing at me. haha. alan was being an idiot.. cos he was sitting beside me while waiting for the bus.. he kept bugging me for my sisters' names.. cos he was wondering with "IDA" such a weird name..wat other names can there be -.- ..ignored him la. kept calling me malay too. sheeesh.
day 3
got up at 8.. breakfast at 8.30.. had french toast n hot chocalate. yumm :).. checked out..then headed back to the tennis centre.. trained frm bout 10am-2pm.. then played matches after lunch.. won 4 out of the 5 i played.. my fever returned though. i over exerted.. ahh. so now my cough n phlgem's back. shitttt. coach was telling the rest of the girls to beware of me when playing against me cos i can say that im sick but she'll just go on court n "whack n wham. u've lost." -.- as if. anyway after that coach gave us our debrief.. then hongyi's mum gave dee n me a ride to dover station.. took a train back home. i felt so sick. felt like puking half the time.. was burnt.. exhausted.. aching.. had fever.. ah well. had dinner at bout 9.30pm at night. basically just felt awful last night.
oh well tj tennis camp was really fun though.. learnt so much.. did lotsa drills n stuff.. though it was tough n stuff.. hopefully i'll recover soon.. so i could train proper without getting worse.. coaches n team mates really took gd care of me.. esp DEE... :).. cannot thank her enough. dee.. my present official doubles parter :).
the wk is finally over..

oh well after training.. dee n i dragged ourselves off to lunch cum brunch. yum. we ate at swensens.. pigged out. haha. couldnt help it since both of us were starving. anyways. having tennis camp next wed to fri. its gonna b double of wat we're doing per day for 3 days straight. yay. i've like a million tan lines already. lol. well at least we're putting up at raffles marina club.. so it shud b quite nice? hope so. hope i'll be back in one piece thats all.
hm the last day of 2nd orientation at tj was on fri.. i went in the morn.. reported to my new class.. which i shant comment on.. then i went for onight.. overall it was a bore actually. cept for a few exceptions.. kenneth's band was not bad.. though they were pretty pissed cos the sound system sucked i guess. oh well. orientation's over.. march hols.. then it all starts again. YAY.
this wk's gonna b a real long one.. :(

anyways its been a pretty interesting wk. esp the last part of it.. on fri.. watever happened.. just brought everything back to sq one -.-... man. i thought i'll convince myself i'll made do with wat i've got. oh wells. we'll just see how. really hope the second intake at tjc is much much better though.
