blocks.
so i stumbled over blocks, albeit feeling like the biggest loser in the entire galaxy. and for the record, when yanhan says she's going to fail, she means it. like fail big time, 17/100-i'm-a-hopeless-case-kind-of-fail. not 69/100-darn-i-dint-get-an-A-kind-of-fail. haha it's alright, i spent abt one-third of the time allocated for math paper + four-fifth of the time allocated for chem paper comforting myself and counting if i can scrape a sub-pass. to be practical, i just cannot make it. cos i dint study hard enough. ma, you win! (:then life goes on. tides will turn. i'll strive to get promoted.
somehow.
upon release from the horrifyingly brain-numbing session in the hall on thursday, we joined the mass jc invasion at orchard road. haha maine (birthday girl!), wenqi, qiyu, justin and i had pasta (: yes relaxing. the best part was meeting xin and ling (sorry i couldnt contain my excitement and nearly got us killed by having a group hug in the middle of the road) and xinpei among many other familiar faces in town.
the highlight of the week was resuming training. undoubtedly, it was the anticipation of being back on waters that got us through the entire week of nightmare. we did it teammates! (: the waters had a soothing effect; it seemed like the only aspect of life that i can safely say i knew wad i was doing. so i'm convinced my partner has two brains. like functioning independently. dont know how she does it, the way she consistently keeps count of our cycles when doing 10-on-10-off. even when we analyze our strokes during off, yihang still conscientiously says go. and during 8buoys-on-8buoys-off. haha i have my suspicions as to whether she occasionally cheats. okayy lahh, you're a fantastic frontseatter :D for conquering the rebellious rudder of k2 #17 and for holding steady during power-stroking. macritchie isnt just breezy these days, it's gusty. i swear my heart was in my mouth, as our boat rocked precariously and i could feel you steering with considerable amount of effort to keep in theaffinitylane against the mighty side currents. i could only grip the paddle till my knuckles turn white, lest it should fly out of my hand and whack those whose boats are in proximity to ours. ahah. it's okay, HCanoe girls, we brave the wind and the rain. (:
xin, thanks for knowing the right words to say at the right time and for giving me a great sense of uplift instantaneously at the click of opening ur sms. though we can no longer link arms and walk out of the classroom door to go for iced tea/waffle after a horrible paper, i could still feel ur reassuring presence and the genuiness of ur well wishes each day. the next time we watch the best of PCK, ur h1 paper will be over! loveyou and BFF! :D :D
ling, thanks for sharing the same sentiments, for nodding in agreement, for exchanging knowing (: fence well!
yihang (even though the... :D and orange looks :X on asian skin) , yimtong (you triathlete, cheers to late night phone convos) , rimmel (girl ahh... i nag for ur own good) , lihui (share more tips on how to get out of sticky situations!) & sophia (HAHAHA. you go, sister!) : next team-bonding date, ADAM ROAD FRUIT JUICE, introduced by the lovely rinaaaa :D you girls make college life survivable. much love and much support always!
gen, jas, cyn, mari, jia, kf : XIE XIE! (:
the following pictures were taken during our date to watch LD production.
in the make-up room;
part of the cast of fire, ice & a little bit of vice;
watching the juniors take their curtain-call, i was filled with immense pride. (: it was an endearing performance, you've all blossomed into such fine actresses!
the view of the audience, standing on the same stage i recited my lines two years ago..
the actual entrance, though we sneaked in backstage through the secret hallway from past experience :D
i contemplated giving drama another shot someday.. but for now. it's canoe. (:
