22 December
Again another day with 6hrs of training! Thank goodness for the slack "run" and alot of medicine balls which were pretty fun. The swim was slack too and so we ended a little early and I had time to watch hall 2's polo training for a while. Swimming was fun with Rod, Sue, Desmond, me! I discovered the bliss of flipper-ing! Zoooommmm! Then I went to the dentist and had to wait for more than an hour after my stated appointment time. I fell asleep in the waiting room in an unglam position. The dentist was ..... I'd rather he talk to me about the options I have when my baby tooth falls out rather than just skip the whole issue so lightly and talk about where did I come from.
Leewei was the greatest friend on earth cuz he came to find me and gave me a packet of fruits knowing I was bored waiting and dying of starvation since it was 5pm and I haven't eaten since morning! Ate dinner at can A!

I had time to kill in the morning so I went to swim! Slack one. I realised I didn't bring my wallet and I wanted to eat at can 2 badly, so I decided to take a walk to can 2, hoping I can meet friends to borrow money. Thankfully, I met the hall 2 swimmers outside! And very paiseh but I borrowed money from Rod thank goodness. Inside I met ter ho and xt.... Could've avoided it all.
Anw nice meal, showered and headed to NIE hockey pitch to return money and then to JE for lesson with Hannah and Adel. Afterwhich I almost died travelling before ending up at ntu's OCK to happily order all sorts of sides and watched them cook it. (I'd never wanna eat the curry puffs again) NTU Bi team christmas party at hall 16's lounge! It was fun! Mostly thanks to Yogi and Pingwei. It's always the seniors who're filled with crap. Had to eat CHICKEN (shrunken turkeys apparently ha-ha) cuz I got ACE. Card game. Stayed behind to watch finish Ice Princess in the lounge till 12.
Apparently Marcus' was my secret santa. The whole story goes like this. The drawing was done during the training when I was in KL. (Oh yes, it seems this hol the whole world went KL! well.. almost) And so apparently while talking to leewei online thru lols' msn, the question abt 5x5 rubiks, marcus, and would I want it came up. So apparently we thot marcus was my santa, he asked leewei to ask if i'd like it. So I was !@#$%^&^ at lw for 'giving it' away. Turns out lw was thinking of christmas presents for us in general and was wondering if marcus/me would like a 5x5. IN THE END, it turned out marcus WAS my santa, and he got me a 5x5. Without lw knowing.

Met up with tjband frens at Paragon's Bakerzin! :) :) :) Apparently the meeting time at 10.45am was met only by idunno...who? Ended up one train behind lols so arrived with her. A nice meal! (Speaking of which I still owe lols money for that!) Good food I must say! Except for the whatever dessert qtz ordered haha!
In the end we all followed Neem to Bugis where xt lols neem decided to brave the streets of Bugis, but I escaped with the guys ttk qtz edmund mj to the arcade! There's this fun game, ball throwing one, where the first round we did very well and hit top scorer! And qtz entered 'TJC'. Second round not so good he entered 'VJC' and it was 5th haha! Xt is REALLY good at bish-bash! I got a turtle massager from pam!

10am lesson with Rachel before driving the car back to hall! (Since it was 1100 car I was crawling like a lady driver) Preview of night cycling route to KR bike shop to repair my chain. I was too hungry to swim so I went to eat first instead, and slept by the stands while waiting for food to settle. Ended up watching hall 12's preparation for soccer match and met Manfred! After the swim, apparently hall 12 was winning hall 6! (guy's soccer) And I met Rod and Songloo (who had track training). Met ferroz with hall 3's trackers too! And hall 15's ppl! It's nice to stay ard during IH!
NIE prac at night only ended at 11.30! And I was more than ready to slaughter the SC.
27 December
I skipped bi training cuz it was ridiculous to try going. By the time I reached NIE (15mins late and met aloy) they'd finished moving the stuffs so we sat junjia's car over to audi! loitered around abit and did what we do best (act busy). Rehearsal was mad cuz we played through everything again. Thinned out reed, faint everywhere else. Thanks for all who came to support! Although the playing was atrocious.
THEN, I had some visitors to my room, and we went J.P. to eat dinner and it was the fun fun fun night cycling! Pics and videos and what nots are up on facebook! :) It was great, it was good, and a really great big thanks to guanhim for the maps and cautions and all! he rocks socks totally!
I really had fun with everyone! :)

Not having realised I ate breakfast at 5+am, I didn't eat till 4+pm. No wonder I was half-starved. TKGS Nakamura concert VCH. AWESOME! Totally worth the $12 circle seats. It was great to hear tkgs again. again. again :) It's amazing, how the tone remains. How the neatness is still there. How Ms Sia rocks, how tkgs rocks, how the dearest clarinet jnrs rock :)
Nakamura simply blew the audience away. The band was pretty small. The flautist was simply AMAZING. At one point where half of the already very small band was singing, with 3 trumpeters, it filled the whole hall. All in all, 5 trumpeters, 5 tbones (isit?) 3 french horns, 2 euphos, 2 tubas, was enough to fill the entire hall. Amazing. They sang too. 2 rows of girls and their voices floated to the ceilings of VCH. They encored 4 times. All the songs I knew! Eurobeat disney, fantillusion, el cumbanchero, my way! :) :) :) I could sit there all day! The girls were tearing alot. Aye. After 1hour of playing their lungs out, dancing, swinging around, singing, I'm amazed.
Then I KO-ed.
29 December
I decided I really couldn't wake up to go for training. Went for swim at 1pm but apparently no one came except Rod. Swam for abit but ended up mostly talking at the side of the pool in the end.
Ate dinner at 6+ without realising how starved I was. (Only a waffle for lunch!)
