go take a look(:

the first day we had training at about 9am till 11plus. then we had some bonding games and then lunch. there was so much food we couldn't finish. so we decided to share for the next meal, which we didn't. then we had a nutrition talk and watched some videos about swimming. we were so tired most of us were like dozing off. but it was quite productive(: training again at 4, we had something called TI, and we were laughing at it cause we made it to be "Texas Instrument". haha. it was quite light tho. after that we had dinner and our rooms were A2.02 and A2.03. the tables were our beds. it was quite cosy tho.now we really know how to appreciate tables.

second day, as usual, we had training at 9 till 11am. then we had lunch and after that was free and easy. studied abit, finished my compre and managed to sleep for a while. training at 4pm again. then we had dinner. its quite boring that day, especially when its a sunday and there's so little people in school.

we had training at 8am on mon, till about 10.30am. then we had lunch and voting. after that, we set off to marina! bowled at joanne's mum's place. well, i only played a game cause i was so tired from morning training, so i just hanged around the place and looked at the others bowl. arcade after that! played para para. haha! the way sijay and marcus played was super super hilarious man! the whole swim team couldn't stop laughing.after that was dinner at a steamboat buffet restaurant nearby. we were so lazy to cook so we ate quite alot of the cooked food instead. the la la was nice. james, yanni, irvin and sijay had a eat la la competition. haha. oh we had free flow of icecream too! the guys ate so many. i think boren had three. haha.

the way there and the way back was quite fun too. we were deciding whether to alight at raffles place or cityhall and we were at different cabins. so we were like shouting across to each other and making a din. haha. on the way back, carey was doing her leg thing and we were all doing stupid things that just couldn't stop us from laughing. then it was the interview. lots of people screwed it from what i heard, but congrats to the newly elected committee anyway! (:

tues was training again. then we had a mental talk to prepare us for nationals. its going to be scary man. well, at least for me. then we slept for a while before the second training for the day. after that we had a barbecue session! it was quite fun but tiring. the seniors came back too. then we celebrated the birthdays of those people who were born in may/june. bathed after that.
since it was the last night, we all decided to ignore the lights out time and went to play cards in the boys room. then we got so bored so robin and reuben brought us to a "ghost tour". we learn about some ghost stories and it was super freaky man. haha. we had it while the committee was having a meeting so we did it quite sneaky-ly and quickly. then we shared some stories about dreams. reuben had some really scary recurring dreams la. and boren was so funny, haha. the rest managed to catch some of "the heartlanders" movie while most of us slept.

at 3am, the comittee members came to wake us up. they were like " wake up wake up, pack your swim things quickly and meet in the pool deck in ten minutes" or something like that. we all had a shock man. we were like walking there half asleep. then the committee members told us that we'll be getting a scolding. we totally walked up to the pool deck like some uniform groups and fall in somemore. the teachers, mr lau and mr kwok, came. we had some punishment. just as we thought it was over, mr lau was like " go change into your swim suits and prepare ten lane ropes." then we were like " WTF?!" i was still half asleep la! ha yuyin was damn lost. he told us the training will be grueling and requires alot of mental work and support. indeed, it was tiring man. we were like swimming non stop and every lap, we were hoping that it'll be the last but it wasn't. i swam exactly 100 laps before i couldn't push anymore. so i stopped while the rest continued another 20 laps. then finally, james led them and they all touched the wall. that scene was really..um, i dont know how to describe. like we finally did it kind of thing. then my lau was like " congrats, welcome to the swim team." and wow..i felt really touched and proud of the team. 120 laps wasn't easy man. we had a really encouraging debrief at 6plus am, before we all went back to our rooms and sleep till 10.30. packed up till 11plus and had prata for 'bunch'. then it was debried again and break camp. GP lesson after that. totally knocked out.

overall, i think i've learnt alot from the camp. the better friendships forged, the facts about nationals and mental as well as physical training, etc. well,all i can say is that it's a memorable camp.

haha, this song reminds me of the times me and nicole sang "drop it like its hot" in class whenever mrs chia asked our class to drop any subjects.

anyway, life has been pretty stressful and hectic recently, i'm so glad we've completed all major tests for the term haha. i feel that i'll do better for the 2nd tests of every subject (: well, hopefully la.

went back to crescent with vivian, nicole, sam and pam yesterday to collect out o level certificates. beekuan and delia came later too. we wanted to meet up qith mdm zhang cause she's going to leave singapore soon. but i think she went home already. met mrs chia instead. i think we're going back on speech day!! (: haha. cabbed home with zi and beekuan after that, while the rest went off for the rugby match.

training today was disappointing. i had some breathing difficulties after some sprints, then felt totally energyless after that. so i requested to go home earlier. and now im having a stupid stomachache.

we're going for the hci dance concert thing tomorrow! can't wait. also, five more days to the holidays!(:

You have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Your ultimate goal has been the realisation of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust. It has often been said that 'True love is just around the corner' and - if you haven't found it as yet - you possibly soon will.

You don't feel as if you can go it on your own anymore. You don't want to be taken for granted. You need to be recognised as a 'caring person' and it could be that you are searching to establish a relationship, not necessarily with someone new, but with that someone special who could feel the same way as you do.

The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.

Stresses resulting from a recent disappointment have led to considerable trepidation. It would seem that there seems to be so much left undone. Everything surrounds you with that air of uncertainty. You badly need to feel a sense of security and whatever it takes to protect you against further disappointment. At this particular time you doubt that things could be any better in the future but you are sticking to your guns and refusing to take advice from any source.

Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh.

after training, we went to celebrate min er's birthday at fish & co, with tingting, yuyin, carey, boren, quanrong, jowell, ervin, and fahan. we actually have to wait like half an hour for the tables but i dontknow why we suddenly only have to wait like 10plus mins only. lots of people's birthday. they have a cool way of celebrating birthdays in fish and co haha. but anyway, it was fun. afterthat we went to min er's father's soyabean shop to eat tao huey. then went home.
