the birthday girl!!
cool plasma tv in the rm ;)okok. this has been a rather... eventful weekend :).. heh. oh wells. the entire week has been awfully routine n exhausting. especially on thursday.. had pe which ended at 4.30.. ran 2.4km during pe.. the day before did loadsa physical at tennis training.. then after pe, headed to jurong to train.. trained from bout 6pm to 11.30pm.. reached home at 12.20am? it was madness. i look like freakin panda now. bleah. at least i had a break on fri.. coach told the few of us who went on thurs to take a break.. so i went for the excursion to edb.. it was rather interesting. haha. guess the 5 mad guys made it more fun :).. haha. n i found out lotsa things they had misconceptions bout.. like the glare -.- haha. they were freakin idiotic.. but in a funny way. found out yenyang has a fetish for acting. like reenacting weird incidents.. ahha. while derrick's just laughing his a** off most of the time. haha. derrick desperately trying his pick up lines on huang n me.. was freakin funny.
anyway.. had training at jurong on sat.. had lunch cum dinner with the rest at crystal jade at suntec.. then met the family at marche.. had sister's birthday celebratory dinner!! :).. oh yar. stayed at ritz carlton for one night.. to celebrate sister's 19th birthday.. man the drive up to the ritz is gorgeousssss. :D... the room was nice... the toilet was EVEN NICER. haha man the toilet's hugeeee. n the view's.. well... breath taking :).. especially in the morn when the sun's shining on the water surface.. nice nice nice. haha can see frm the pics above :).. anyway mum, two sisters n me stayed at the ritz.. watched take the lead at marina sq.. gd gd movie :)... then headed back to the hotel.. next morn.. had breakfast at cafe cartel.. all of us ate till we could barely walk. haha. oh yes. the ritz has really comfortable beds.. n a cool plasma tv.. n the sound system is freakin cool!!!... initially i thought it was surround sound.. but i realised the tv plays the radio.. n its connected to the toilet..so can either on both.. or either one.
oh. n yes. the ritz provides really nice fluffy bathrm slippers :)
happy birthday jie!!!

oh well update update. first nationals match is over... against yishun junior college on wed.. dee n i played 2nd doubles..we won our match 9-2.. could hav done better though. hmph. overall tjc beat yjc 5-0 though. so thats good :). though the guys lost to acjc im sure they tried very hard n did their best :).. they were nice enough to drop off at yjc to support us after their match since theirs ended earlier.. cos it rained at yishun so the girls' match was delayed.
had training on GOOD FRIDAY.. at jurong again.. 10am onwards. well it was quite a waste since it rained earlier n we waited so long for it to stop. had jap food at cineleisure with sophia, terrence, teik kheng n zhi hao after training on fri..had training today too.. more fruitful. great weather. though i sustained quite a few minor injuries. bleah. played singles against sophia chew.. lost 9-8 (7-3).. oh well played doubles after that. zhi hao was so nice enough to company me for awhile after that.. i had great company after training :).
i shall attempt to refrain from typing too much bout tennis since ppl are complaining my blog entries are nothing but TENNIS TENNIS TENNIS. but aw c'mon my entire life has been like almost just tennis tennis tennis lately.. since nationals are here. haha. well school has been real gd last wk.. since sch ended earlier on thurs.. n i left sch early on wed since i had a match.. mardi gras was not bad i guess.. way better than the cny carnival :). took a few pics here n there but took only one with my phone. the rest of the times i was just too lazy to whip out my phone.. most ppl brought digicams though. haha. saw terrence in his interesting greek get up too. haha it was funny. though it was a pity i missed ele n abby.. :( didnt know they were comin. bleah.
well next wk the matches are against acjc on wed at acjc.. n against jjc on fri.. lotsa tests next wk too.. 3 to be exact. n i havent mugged. wheeeee. haha. here we gooooo.

my life's been almost nothin else bout tennis this wk... tennis tennis tennis. it all started from wed.. when i heard my first training of the wk i guess. dee came back to train on wed!! it's bout time. haha :).. anyways. had friendlies with anderson junior college on fri.. met coach after sch at bout 12.15pm.. talked to him bout mental preparation n stuff before my matches.. then met huang n headed to parkway for lunch :). aint i nice. company her for lunch. muahaha. jk. we had a really nice n sumptuous lunch i gotta say. heh. went back to sch to warm up.. then bus fetched us to ajc.. weather was quite gd. partnered denise for doubles.. won our match 6-0 :).. the girls team won all our matches against ajc.. guys did quite well. only lost one.. n it was a tiebreak. close. aw well.
on thurs.. man worst day of the wk. had lessons till 4.30pm.. had pe for the last period. mock napfa.. i passed the items.. left 2.4km. hope i pass. haha. havent been doing long dist for awhile. initially only 3 girls including me frm my class passed standing broad jump.. scary. anyway after sch, headed for jurong with denise, sophia chew, sophia tan, sam n keowkoon. fell asleep on the train.. was so exhausted frm sch n pe.. still had to go for training at JURONG. anyway.. training was quite fun i guess.. footwork was nice. haha. trained till bout 11.30pm.. then took a lift frm a kind soul.. got home at bout 12.15am?.. completely sapped of energy. bathed n collapsed onto my bed. was yawning non stop the next day.. n was supposed to hav friendlies with ajc.
today.. met the rest at lavendar at bout 8.45am.. then headed to jurong. trained frm 10am to 4.30pm. jurong's practically my 2nd home already.. tired. oh yeah. gotta go jurong again 2mr to train.. at 10am. 4 straight days of tennis. yay.
help meeeee.
well the pics are a glimpse of the outside of the presently being renovated waterfront tennis centre i go to train every sat. at lakeside. and the nut on the bike is allan. haha he was irritating sam too. in the first photo.
i got new tennis shoes :)
well its bout time i guess. since my present nike tennis shoes hav been used to their fullest. honestly used it for as long as i could since it was kinda expensive. 142 bucks.. well now the soles are so worn, the air cushion has actually kinda deflated a lil. so when i was walking in the rain yesterday.. it kept going -squish-
anyway, had training today. met the rest at lavendar station at 8.45am... then we headed to lakeside for training..i was super sleepy since i went all e way to hwa chong yesterday n everythin. trained frm bout 10am to 3pm. sun was freakin hot.. the whole team was red.. haha. training was pretty fun though. thought really exhausting. did sprints at the beginning.. then did some drills. one drill was pretty interesting. supposed to sit on the floor of the court with our racquets in hand at three quarter court or at the net and coach will feed.. then we're supposed to volley while sitting. haha pretty fun. just that our butts got burnt. the guys were being really lame at training today.. well actually they're always lame. n pervertic. teik kheng, xi wei n allan were making all these awful girly high pitched groaning noises whenever i hit a shot.. made me miss two consecutive shots -.-... so coach made them do push ups. and everytime they did one push ups, they were supposed to make that same noise. wahaha. man it was damn funny. they were groaning so loud.. the girls on the other court all turned to look. haha.. the three jokers were also made to make that same noise every time they hit a shot during the drills. if their voice broke while trying to groan, they'll hav to do 20 push ups. haha some of us laughed till we rolled on the floor.. haha. seeing e 3 guys smashing n groanin like a girl... omg the ultimate entertainment. wahaha. serves them right for disturbing ppl while they hit. haha. but they said it was worth it for those 6 secs of pleasure irritating me. -.-
allan groans real weird unintentionally when he hits.. cos he hits real hard. haha coach royston actually started imitating him when he was feeding the ball to allan.. haha. after that, partnered clare for doubles against keow koon n sophia.. played 5 matches.. really tiring. bathed then took a train to city hall.. had dinner with may, pin quan, terrence and zhi hao.. went to marina sq..ate at kenny rogers. haha it was pretty funny with them.. yeah after that, met e family at kembangan station then went to queensway to get my tennis shoe... decided not to get adidas even though it lasts longer.. cos its really hard. n i find it difficult to break in. so got the nike shoes i wanted.. pretty gd price i reckon. original price's $187.95..
had friendlies against hwa chong yesterday. sch ended at 11.55am.. went home to get my tennis bag..then met allan at the bus sotp outside sch.. stopped at the bus stop outside his home n waited for him to get his tennis bag then went to parkway for lunch.. called sam to join us for lunch too... then went back to sch to warm up at the courts.. left sch for hwa chong at bout 3. 30.. was pouring. but it wasnt raining at hwa chong.. was bout to start my match when it poured -.-... so it was kinda cancelled. since transportation provided was only one way.. so the team walked in the rain out of hwa chong to take a bus to orchard. had dinner with some of them at cineleisure. the guys were being super pervertic as usual. took a train back with zhi hao, pin quan and johanan (i think)..
basically seems like i've been playing tennis almost all the time. since nationals are coming.. so gotta train hard.. commitment. aw wells. school's been pretty routine.. its nice having lunch with huang n sharing stoning moments with her too ;)
attempting to get used to my jet black hair.
