Yesterday was really fun!
Finished the jap mini-test. Learnt 16 characters in 1hr the morning before. This time round I sat beside this other guy who was much more friendlier and fun and we talked quite abit! :) Kinda boring during lessons these days cuz I'm always "alone". Altho jap class has a few NBS ppl I know (my tj friend also) And 301 is all group B ppl altho I recognise/know about 1/4 of them. No wonder I was so happy in 306 class on Friday cuz you know like 7/8 of the ppl in there! :) Presentation for 301 is over yay!
Headed to the track with the sis and sue. Howe Li is rather scarily weird and he ran with me hAHA. Phew didn't need to do whatever time trial so I just did a nice long run! I like :)
Oh I gotta mention. Half way through I saw this guy running with numbers on his arm (ie warming up for the mini bi) So I decided to be friendly and went "hello...." So the funniest part was I asked him why biathlon? Since he didnt seem to be a swimmer/runner background. And his reply was "Oh you know Mok Ying Ren?" (and then I tried not to like LOL on the spot and gave a nonchalent reply) "yeahhh" "yarh, quite inspired by how he can do so well in all 3 disciplines!" "yarh! medicine student somemore right! wahhhhhhh he's so zai............" (LOL-ing inside) and then end of story cuz his warm up finished.
I think it's so cool though. To be such an inspiration to so many ppl you don't even know!
The mini bi was an exciting place! So many random new faces I met/made friends with! :) Like there's Haosiang's tennis friend! The PotongPasir guy. The hall 2 guy. Lyanna! Marches (from tj dunno how to spell!) And so on! It wasn't till Audrey and Sui Hui were like "WHY are you so high?" That got me thinking.
1) It's so fun to see everyone coming for the mini bi!
2) It's reallllyyy nice to make so many new friends :) Get to know more new faces
3) Mostly cuz they're ppl who run and swim! That means more potential friends to run and swim with me. That means more potential friends I'll meet while running and swimming in ntu to make life more fun. That means MORE FUN.
Hence, the excitement.
So I had something to contribute to the team after all! I helped to count laps for lanes 5 and 6! :) There were 3 waves, the third being the most exciting cuz it consisted of the 3 ang mohs (Alex Thomas John), Bud Yiming Alex Marcus CherKun(?). All swimmers, so exciting!
I didn't know Thomas was so zai! He's like faster than Mr-49s-for-100-yards! ANd he's like some triathlete! To think I talked to him the day before during the Bbq! Respect mann! (*salutes) He's like so much friendlier and smiles more than Mr-USA. Oh Thomas is from Switzerland. He reminds me of some friendly giant from my childhood days when you read about big friendly giants. Haaa.
And then Captain Loo had to scold me HMMPH
"You luh keep on standing there watching them"
(I was lap counting! Short of man-power! Also they all just suddenly disappeared dun even know where everyone went to.......)
"Never do exercises just now still swim so slow"
(Alright, I'm slow okay? I was trying to catch lorh...........)
"Go and hurry up bathe first, everytime u all take so long"
CRAP
I'LL DO THE FREAKING EXERCISES AFTER MY INTERVALS TODAY LUH.
hmmmmmmph.
Although I badly wanted to sleep, I still decided to drive the van out just so the captain can get his vegetarian food. (I had intentions of poisoning the food) And just so his roomie will be happier too. (hehehehe) But I had fun driving and all :)
Met the sis' crappy rugby friend at extension and the ensuing random conversation.
"You look very different when you're not running"
"hmmmmmmmm....?"
"Are you going SEA games also?"
"ha-ha"
Then we talked about running and swimming and cycling
"Actually those are my 2 most hated sports. I don't see the point" (referring to running and swimming)
"Actually you know I think throwing and running around after a ball is very pointless too"
"Thanks arhhh"
(hmm u started it? haa)
But seriously I never see the point of soccer and rugby etc. But I guess in a way all sports are kinda "pointless?" But more so running so hard after a what? ball?
But thanks to Sue's suggestion of Popiah! (I didn't even see the stall!) And Rod for parking the van haa!
It was really nice to see everyone you know ard hall :)
Great day! Minus the lack of sleep
