27.1.03
feel kinda terrible now...
my worst fears kinda materialised...
i suspected it...
feared it...
but coming across her blog made me just see the light...

i understand...
we had our brush...
but i really tried my best to make up for my unintended mistakes...
i could never talk to her...
i try to do small favours...
talk to her...
win her back...
but failed...
terribly...

its kinda like in primary sch...
when one would write best friends: blah blah blah blah blah...
and how one would feel if left out from that list???
i was left out from a similar list...
with a more mature twist of coz...
it isnt unintentional...
but i understand...
just feel detested...
something i never wanted ever to feel...
i'm not a good person...
but i try to be one...
i'm not a bitch...
i just want to get things done...
may have stepped on toes by doing that...
but i dont think i'm dealt justice...

i cried and cried hard when i realised that she was hurt by me...
worse that it was not intentional...
i dont even know how many others i hurt...
i dunnoe how to go about life now...

thing is...
i've tried to make it up to her...
but i guess it just aint enuff...
sorry...
but i tried my best...

day was pretty good ya???
was happily busy...
got alot of stuff done...
WITS done with first meeting...
concluded on area of research...
AJ Ideas...
will do jiaen, shishi and me good..
considering its our job...

but something kinda spoilt my day...
proposal came back to me from talentime i/cS...
that its '...very bad...'
and reason?
no theme...
personally i do not think that constitutes a bad proposal...
i slept late last nite...
ran ard like siao...
heatedly discussed ideas...
and this is wad i get?
wanted to rebutt the judgement that it's a bad proposal...
but held back...
'fraid to strain relations...
even if it really was...
which i do not think so...
at least not for the reason stated...

they could have put it in a better tone...
i was hurt...
really...
but think these really prepares you for worse ahead...
i hope it does...

but well...
great things were..
realised that dennis is really a nice guy...
he knows i'm busy with talentime and WITS...
offered to write the games fest proposals during his breaks tmr...
ask me to sleep early...
maybe its my dark eye bags...
it's oni a monday!!!!
grr...
will fight on...

now...
homework...
and later games fest proposal...
and redo talentime's if i've got time later...

bless me...

the most amazing of things happened these couple of days...
bought a skirt from U2...
*gasp*
the horrors...

and a pair of dress heels to got with it...
gosh...
actually kinda weird to see a pair of THICK tanned legs in heels like that...

but couldnt resist the fact that the skirt was 13 bucks down from the actual 36...
and the heels...
at an affordable 20...
but its so nu ren...
think will oni wear those on CNY...
then dump them into the depths of my overflowing wardrobe...

went fiesta to have dinner with family...
kinda shiok...
everyone had their own bento set...
but we just kept stealing from each other...
the chawan mushi..
the agedashi tofu...
my favourite salmon sashimi...
my second favourite grilled mackerel...
and of coz the unagi...
yummy!
had the urge to go jap today coz me and my sis caught the japan hour...
looking (or rather...drooling...)
at all the yummy food...
kinda made us salivate for some nice jap rice...
set us back by abt 110 bucks...
for the 5 of us...
but i think we were happy...

i love my family...
i really do...

kinda promised my granny to take here on a ride on the LRT...
and my grandpa too...
they dont really get a chance to see sengkang...
and i thot a ride ard it in the comfortable confines of the train will do them good...
esp when its really convenient for wheel chairs to get thru now...
but now..
need to find time to bring her...
grr...
just too busy...

imagine...
the sun rays slicing through the gleaming sail...
waves splashing beneath the longboard...
wind whistling by my ears...
the adrenaline rush...
the extreme speed...
i din even need no motor or fuel...
thats the power of the wind...
the beauty of nature...


actually ah...
its more of the look on the beginners faces when they see youths flying past them like tat...
being female seemed to serve a bigger blow...

Peach

Like a peach,
you enjoy the juice of life and all its lush ripeness!
You are the friendly sort,
and are quite frank and outspoken,
which adds to your charm.
charm? wad charm?
You are quick to forgive and forget;
and value your friendships highly.
You have an independent and ambitious streak in you,
that makes you a real go-getter.
but i think i overdo it sometimes..
You are the ideal lover,
fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love.
ooooh...
You don't however like to display all that passion in public.
true...

bring meetings home onto IRC...
have discussions during breaks...
seriously...
i dunnoe why i'm working my heart out like this...
i'm not in the exco...
i'm not trying to prove anything...
but just so happens that things fall into my scope...
cant understand it...
esp when i stay back almost every day...
until 7 plus...
still no time to finish my work...
while other councillors happily pack their bags and leave at 4 or even 3...
had to clear up the nexus today...
it was really bad...
students drank in there...
spilled coffee...
littered with bits of tidbits..
i even saw ants...
we worked so hard just to bring the lounge up for them...
and this is wad we get???
i know i'm complaining...
but i really was burnt out...
WITS needs us down every thurs for one whole hour...

aint much today..
except that the talentime banner screwed up big time...
alwin and some others rolled it up on sat...
then it got soaked in the pouring rain over the weekend...
kinda got abit of the walls stained with cloth dye...
and the banner paint...
kinda got wet and yucky...
just hope that it'll dry soon...
and not that deco comm screw up big time like last year's...

so farnie today...
angeline dropped her calculator into the toilet bowl...
muahhaha....
feel bad for laughing...
but i found it farnie...
luckily there was nuthing in the toilet bowl...
phew...

had a number of meetings today...
woah...
choosing pple for a adhoc aint such an easy task...
had a terrible time..
but still...
got my ad-hoc out...
will announce it over GM on wed...
hope i dont disappoint anyone...

ran abit today...
was slow...
but great...

went to the halfway house to make pineapple tarts today..
wasnt really much of an interaction with the pple there...
just the ford thingy...
where they mould the pineapple jam...
i put it on the pastry...
kinda conveyor belt...
muahhaa...
din get to try any though...
maybe will drop by there again someday...
and grab a bottle...
its for a good cause...

went to compass point with merser and lala...
haha...
it was fun..
appreciate these two friends of mine...
well...
glad i found them in AJ...
couldnt really spend much time with them in sch or out of sch...
but could still relate to them freely...
and our conversation could never cease...
love them both...
=)

on hindsight...
i think my situation aint very favourable...
being spread too thin...
between my family...klass...council...ws team...bballers...
somehow...
can feel that my relationship with anyone one of those aint as strong as the others...
much as i want to...
dunnoe whether its me...
or my lack of time with them...
really dunnoe...

sec school was still quite fine..
had my clique...
things were rowdy...
bballers had our little alley where we would just hang out...
wsurfers had our base at the beach...
klass had our usual table in the canteen...
life was cool...
it was...

argh..
promised myself that i'll do home work over the weekend...
but i din...
kinda disappointed with myself...
my lack of self discipline...
argh...

been re-thinking alot abt life actually...
that things arent really what they seem on the surface...
somehow...
i dunnoe what to think...
or believe...
i grow skeptical of things i see on the surface..
but also doubt myself when i see further than that...
am i misunderstanding the people ard me???
am i being overly worried or cynical??
i really dunnoe...
am i trying too hard to understand wads going on ard me???
somehow...
i cant find the answer...
people that i once thot were nice proved otherwise...
people that i once were wary of became the closest i could ever imagine...
okay...
that was exagerated...

but you get the idea...
this level of cynicism aint healthy...
really...
just wish i could be simple and naive all again...
maybe life wouldnt be as complex...
as painful...

SAMUEL:

actually though he's abit dorky...
he cant dance for nuts...
during NYE party...
he was dancing like a frog doing the macarena...

he's really quite attractive...
looks are slightly above average...
few of us gers thot so...
am quite impressed by his 8pack...
all thanks to andrew's gruelling training...
his ever-ready to help attitude...
never leaves me to die on my own...
crappy nature...
sometimes a tad too crappy...
brains...
he got 8 pts for prelims...
and a pretty good dress sense...
not good as in wow...
but good in the sense that he doesnt dress like someone he's not...
that his style or the lack of one...
really suits him...

hehhe...
and he never made me angry/sad in the 4+ years that i knew him...

maybe i should intro my sis to him...
or vice versa...
then he'll be my bro-in-law...
muahahaha...
then i can bully him all i want...
woohoo!
hehehe...

gosh...
i'm gushing over sam like an infatuated teenager...
wait a minute...
i AM a teenager...
and am quite infatuated too...

yeay!!!
we're finally done with talentime banner...
actually to think of it...
my design is not that nice...
but just glad its done...
saw dennis, thanked him for all the trouble...
but he was really nice...
say it was a job well done...
cass and the rest were pretty cool...
helped us loads on this...
yeay pple...
thanks a bunch!

went to beach to sail abit today...
not much...
ab 2 hrs...
coz wind was damn good...
but kept falling...
kept uphauling....
grew tired after a while...
=P
feel so weak...
uncle ben also say that i need more water time...
that i cannot make it...
haiz...
was pretty sad when he said that...
but he was rite...
i'll just have to work harder...
make the most outta the little time i haf at the beach...
but uncle robert was really nice...
i told him i kept falling during my gybes...
then he said nvm...
just work hard..
then he asked me do gym...
work on arms...
but told me to concentrate on studies...
that one most impt...

sam bought second hand pulleys from kek wee...
this senior that i dont really talk to at all...
and asked me to accompany him...
so that wee can teach us both...
i thot why not...
then can learn how to set up at the same time...
and take care of sam...
coz that stupid guy lost his specs in the sea...
when the wave hit him...
actually kinda like my fault...
coz he stayed back to wait for me...
so that we could go out to sea together and spar...
if he went out earlier...
maybe that wave wouldnt hit him...
he was really nice today...
helping me lots...
carrying my board...
extending my boom...
even asked him whether he was in love and therefore the good mood...

oh yarh...
back to wee...
he actually asked sam whether i was his gf...
*pengz*
both of us were taken aback...
and neither lost time in trying to explain...
but was really happy when sam said this, 'we're very good frenz...'
i dunnoe why but it felt nice...
coz when you're uncertain abt where your frenship stood...
as in normal frenz or what...
then he reassures you with a statement like tat...
=)
i was happy...
really...
despite how insignificant that statement actually is...

oh yarh...
me and SZ realised...
sam looks really nice with his hair longer now...
and his specs lost...
he has really pretty eyes ya know...
can oni see them w/o his specs...
too bad he not my boyfriend...
muahahha...
wasted...

not to hide it...
but i do envy gy and her bf...
not becoz of the guy...
but its nice to have someone you could tell everything to...
and at the end of the day...
call him/her excitedly and tell him/her abt every single little detail abt your day...

it was a total norm for me...
while we were together...
he'll pick me from sch...
then i'll tell him every single thing on the way home...
dont really knoe whether he's really listening or not..
esp with the full faced helmet...
you cant really see his face...
sometimes when i was really stressed at sch...
bball/surfing/klass stuff...
i would actually just break down and cry..
but amazingly...
he just has the ability to make me feel all better again...
=)
i miss having him ard...
having him to send me from place to place...
miss fighting with him...
over silly things like whether kenny's cuter then eric...
2 years we were together...
we never got into any acidents...
though he did once...
w/o me on the bike...
it was quite bad...
on the expressway...
and the worse thing was he tried to contact me...
but i din answer my fone...
felt so so bad...
and he was quite gek...
but like alwaz...
he had to forgive me...
and things were better again...


sometimes i do think...
will i ever find that someone again?
kinda skeptical of love sometimes...
but also think that its the most wonderful of things...
something that to be embraced...

nuthing much today....
not nuthing also...
just nuthing really BIG...
when you're busy...
i think your blog just automatically gets shorter...

oh ya...
did pre-test for PE today...
got a 13:!2 for 2.4km...
which is quite an improvement from last year's...
think the intensive training over the hols helped...
maybe andrew was rite...
once you ran 5.5...
2.4 is nothing...
bleh...
he's wrong...
it was still difficult ya???
i couldnt catch my breath...
hah...
but i think the 5.5 taught us how to psycho ourselves...
that we can overcome anything..
if we try hard enough...
so i just kept running and running...
i know i'm not strong physically...
nor mentally...
but i'm working on the latter....

hope i'll sleep well tonite...
=)

Nicole Kidman & Ewan MacGregor - Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time


Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

was rummaging the fridge for things to munch on just now...
then realised the marshmellow duckies which haf been in my fridge for almost a year...
turned a little off...
so had to throw it away...

felt sad actually...
coz it was actually one of b|az's miracles...
still remember...
he came to pick me from ECP...
then he had this Liberty supermarket plastic bag...
then inside got these little marshmellow duckies...
it was damn cool...
got white ones and yellow ones...
i never beared to eat them...
so kept them in my fridge...
despite how many times my dad scolds me for flooding the fridge..
i never ate them...
but i had to throw them today...

so happy!!!
went surfing today...
wind wasnt too good...
but i plane-ed abit...
damn shiok...
was with sam, wq, lili, gerald they all...
sailed together for most of the time...
=)
the latter 3 wanted to go suntec...
but i din wanna go so far...
so sam actually supposed to go parkway with me...
coz we saw the adidas water bottle quite nice...
then we wanted to buy...
but his mum asked him go granny's place for dinner...
told him it was alrite..
and went out with my family lor...

had a good dinner...
bought a couple of tops for CNY...
its coming laioz leh...
oretty fast ya...
woohoo!!!
lotsa red stuff...
lotsa $$$....
hehhee...
actually wanted to buy a skirt too...
but sis was rite..
i dun wear skirts often...
buy already oni waste money...
=P
its just not my personality..
and dont think i can carry off the look too...

actually i'm quite passive in dressing...
tend to play on the safe side of tees and jeans...
coz i din wanna dress out of character...
seen lotsa pple do that...
and think thats its pretty yucky...
even if they wear the nicest of clothes...
they have to be able to carry it off...
and that it must reflect their personality...
=)

send the box of different types of skittles to b|az liaoz...
with a cute postcard and a letter...
and a clothes peg with a flower...
=)
just wrote the letter when i was in sch..
then dropped by post office in AMK...
sent it...
stupid thing cost me $2.50..
hahha...
hope it makes his day...
the way his miracles alwaz makes mine...

one of the best miracles was this series of mini chocs that were really sweet and nice...
it had many favours...
many different shapes too...
and another series of jellibeans...
that grew to be my favourite...
since then...
till abt last year...
ate loads of those...
GY also loved them lots...
=)
alwaz brought these miracles to sch...
and we'll pass it ard in class...
although i'm sharing my happiness...
it generates more happiness...
and makes me even more happi...

promised myself to do some work...
grr...
din get anything done..
rather slacked my evening away...
but kinda happy that i did a short jog...
abt 25 minutes?
ya...
when you've ran for 40 minutes before...
25 is short...
was dying coz had caramel frap jumpin' in my tummy...
hehhe...
met shuzhen along my jogging route...
was a coincidence actually...
dont usually jog that area..
oh well...

Windsurfing:
really dunnoe wad i'll be doing now if not for wsf-ing...
i mean its been a really big part of my sec sch life...
and going for regattas are like second nature to us...
really lor..
to an extend that we dont get sea sick at all..

kinda glad that i can go up close with one of the most beautiful things in the world...
the vast sea...
cant say ocean...
coz it really aint an ocean..
but it's massive size and how far it stretches is really amazing...
sometimes i would just put down my sail...
sit on the board and look at the pretty little fishes...
when in season...
i see jellyfishes...shrimps...sea snakes...
all sorts of things...
its really amazing...

being in the squad also gave me a chance to know all the wonderful pple i know now...
the youth squad...
with many in the U...
and the most of us in JC now...
the ex-national squad...
consisting of ultra cool pple like andrew...
dr ben...rachel...kerwan and the like...
and last but not least...
the coach who dotes on us the most...
mr tan...
who has been patiently behind us all the way...
really appreciate all the support that we've been getting...
and the least i could do is...
spend more time training...


----Stef stopped rambling at 23:24

pretty amzing actually...
day was pretty short...
ended super early...
at 1430...
even could go eat AJ ice with my mates...
then reach home at about 1730....
coz went to get snacks for my grandparents...
cuz my grandma kinda likes the nonya kueh from bengawan solo...
and my grandpa loves soya beancurd...
hehhe...
feel quite happy whenever i buy stuff for them ya?
i dunnoe...
coz it makes them happy?
=)
they're really sweet to me...
so its only rite...

so heng today no council stuff...
made sure there werent any...
then could go home happily...
but got lotsa proposals to do..
minutes of yesterdae's meeting to type...
homework to complete...
and project to start on...
grr...
will try to do them tonite...
but will go for a jog before embarking on anything...
i think i ate too much today...
since morning...
i ate...
chicken rice...almond jelly...fried hokkien mee...dug at someone else's curry noodles...AJ ice...a tall caramel frappacino from starbucks...
bleh...
think i could puke...
but couldnt resist having a frap while walking ard alone at compass point...
lala offered to accompany me...
but i think she's tired lah...
so asked her go home rest...
actually wanted to get earrings for my sis...
she lost the ones that i gave her...
but the letter S is sold out...
so sad...

cuz there's a PRC scholar in my klass...
its kinda difficult to pull her into the cliques actually...
i tried my best to make her feel at home...
but think it aint good enuff...
i think she still feels a little off...
haiz...
cant blame...
everyone knew everyone else at least 9 mths ago...
but at least its only a 3 mth attachment...
she's even included in our klass t-shirt..
ehheh...
yeay!
=)

feel much closer to the councillors after o1 liaoz...
CY was rite...
it just bonds us together...
dunnoe wads the reason though...
seems there are 3 potential couples in the council liaoz...
while one is confirmed...
muahahahah...
this is cool...

Council:
one of the reasons why i ran for it despite the negative repercussions on my academic work was that it was challenging...
the challenge lies in the ability to manage stress...
and divide my time properly...
din really fulfil that...
but it really made a huge difference in my life...

got to know really wonderful people...
helped me become more extroverted...
made me learn loads abt life...people...
all the amazing stuff i never thot of before...
=) dont think i regretted joining council...
just regretted not appreciating my fellow councillors enough...

but the great thing is...
i have another half year till council term ends...
i will make it up to them...
=)

not that it was boring..
it was a little dry, yes...
but she made it lively...
but i was really too tired...
or maybe its just the weather...
grr...

CCA carnival wasnt much fun...
kinda boring actually...
council did nuthing much....
we actually walked ard without much to do...
bleh...
like job withdrawal symptoms...

kinda officially elects' camp i/c liaoz...
with grace...
with CK as a i/c...
and lenny as exco attached...
kinda cool...

failing tests is such a horrible feeling...
argh...

today did something pretty cool for civics...
something about reflections abt the past year...
kinda cool...
coz its something like this blog...
so did it pretty quick...
hmm....
maybe shall go abit into it...
in my future blogs...
kinda busy these couple of weeks doing homework that should have been done ages before...
it sux...
but i only have myself to blame...
kinda envy sam, sk, lh they all...
no need do homework...
after singapore open just go jc enjoy orientation...
i still have to pia like siao...
=P

oh ya...
mr wee asked me whether i wanna try for pre-U seminar...
would love the opportunity...
thinking abt it...
but got council...
got windsurfing...
got academic stuff...
i really dunnoe how...
but once again...
would love to try...
he wants an answer tomorrow...
dont really know how...

BLOG:
made a difference in my life actually...
i dunnoe how or why....
but it made me more outspoken...
evident in this orientation...
i could speak to a whole nature...
of abt 130+ JC1s?
without holding back...
heh...
its helpful...
especially when i'm in council...
the ability to talk really matters here...

not only that...
i think blogging has made me a better person too...
writing stuff in here makes me reflect upon my day...
thinking wat i did wrong...
wat i did right...
so that i can right the wrongs...
and float on the rights...
heh...
crapping...
but its been cool...
though it takes up time...
but really...
its useful...

got two tests over the next two days...
loads of homework undone...
a book report...
and lotsa council work to catch up on...
but seriously need to blog daily...
its become more than just a routine...
but something that keeps my sanity in check....

like yesterdae when mr pat lim screamed at me...
i was feeling low...
all the way thru wads left of the orientation and the way home...
came home...
blogged...
got it off my chest...
good thing i did...
or i might have a nitemare of him screaming in my ear...
=P

maybe i shouldnt have trained so hard for WS...
i din even do well for the competition...
i let myself down...
andrew, mr tan, my councilors who needed all the help they could possibly get...

okay kelv...
okay...
i might be in love with INA7...
but fact is...
its definitely not mutual...
haiz...
poor me...
actually when surprised when i think abt it...
i'm not someone who will you know...
fall so easily for anyone...
and know wad???
our frenship was as brief as three days...
first spoke to him last sun...
really got to know him on tues, NYE...
and had to say goodbye on that very nite...
its kinda sad...
but would still smile at the fact that he was one of the first few to wish me happy new year after we all fired the red flares...
think it was the gift of the band that really hit me...
its still on my ankle...
just hope red cat doesnt spot it....
haiz...
too bad the grasshopper is already brown by now...
but he was really fascinated with it...
hope it was a good gift...
=)

i din mention...
but know wad???
i dont know how...
but mt faber came into our conversation that nite...
that he and his mates visited it a few nites ago...
and how pretty he thot it was...
when i was last there...
i thot it was damn pretty too...
it's one of the places i held that close to heart..
coz it meant something to me...
and my frenship with b|az..
=)

dont know how he's doing...
just hope fine..
really wanna call him and find out actually...
but havent had the guts...
its kinda sad...
but i just have to walk on...
life's like a treadmill...
even with the largest setbacks...
you just have to walk on...
if not...
you'll trip again...
and its real hard to get back on your feet...

but after debrief...
the cheers kinda made me tear...
i dunnoe why...
like kinda overwhelmed by the encouragement...
and the fact that everyone's in it together...
add oil council...
one more day oni...

suddenly everyone's asking me abt the INA surfer...
gosh...
din know people do read my blog...
clarification: there's nuthing between us...
just that i might have a slight crush on him...

love sounds too in depth liaoz lah...
just that i idolise him...
think that he's really cute/nice/funny...
=)?
would just say its a crush lah...
i think thats the reason why i keep meeting his eyes...
coz i sub-conciously keep looking at him...
hehehe...
suddenly i feel so minute again...
crushing on someone so far away...
oh well...
dunnoe how he's doing now...
maybe will write him when i get less busy...
havent even got time to send ben's parcel out..
will just wait and see...

actually kinda realised the crush on NYE...
hmmm...
no...
after midnite...
coz i sent the china sailors back to their hotel...
then was supposed to make my way home...
but din...
went back to club...
coz i remembered i left in a hurry...
without saying bye to him...
kinda ran back...
couldnt find him...
but he found me...
kinda glad he did...
coz would have slapped myself if i let him go back to indonesia without a proper gdbye...
talked awhile...
actually it was a whole hour that felt like a few minutes...
now i'm thinking it aint just a crush...
=P
hahaha...
hope he'll send me the photo i took with him...
kinda doubt he will...
but would love to post it up for you guys to see...
he really looks damn shuai with the silly party hat...
i dunnoe why oni the indonesians and thais look good with the party hats...
hahhaa...
maybe coz they got the style...

took crappy fotos with adrian's digi cam...
seniors even brought their majong table...
siao...

coz finally won him in something...
beat him in two games...
until he gave up...
mauhahahahahaa...
=)
they are really funnie pple...
really cool to be with...
very warm yet humble...
with no airs abt them...

the HKG team were cute larh...
the guys tried to grab jud and throw him into the water...
but he was sick...
so they grabbed sam instead...
ahhaha...
poor sam...
but he din struggle...
so farnie...
then they threw him into the water...
and sam said he kinda enjoyed the swim...
=P

macau guys were okay...
me and SZ went to ask them to th dance floor...
heheh....
sounds abit...
but no...
we weren't hitting on them...
just wanted them to join in the fun...
one of could even break dance...
and sparred with the thais too...

the thais...
they're really a fun-loving lot...
played alot...
laughed alot...
and they even tried hitting on one of the waitresses...
mauhahaha...
they're like dat...
their seniors also...
but heard they kinda a stingy lot...
even when playing host in thailand...
oh well...

hmm...
my favs..
the indonesians...
not being bias coz of my crush..
but i think they got the most sincere smiles...
and did i mention?
they look really young for their age...
spoke to the brothers the most...
coz they were the oni two in the IMCO class..
the other two indonesians race the formula...
=)
really hope they'll come back next year...

drank alot...(coke oni lah...and abit of alcohol...)
but really happie...
coz i made a good fren...

kinda close to one of the indonesian surfers...
sopandi...
he's 19 this year...
but he looks really young...
like 15 and he's ard my height...
maybe abit taller...
spoke to him alot...
coz alwaz see him alone...
or looking in our direction...
so would just go over and talk to him...
and when we broke the ice...
we would just look ard for each other...

actually think me have a slight crush on him...
jialat...
hah...
but he's been really nice...
like when he asked me to help him remove the band on his hand...
he said its for me...
'to remember...'
we have a language barrier you know???
but still...
managed to converse in broken english...
and my lousy malay..
hahaa...
din know what to give him back...
so ran ard...
plucked a leave...
and made him a grasshopper...
=)
but he sorta crushed it while we were dancing...
all of us...
we dragged the macau guys in...
the HKG and MCO coach...
the thai boys...
the china team...
and we did stupid stuff on the dance floor...
sopandi and his bro were really sporting...
and they were pretty good dancers actually...
quite amazed at that...
=)

back to my crush...

so he walked me to the carpark...
my sis said he looked abit like USHER...

maybe we could SMS if its not too ex...
but simply...
kinda hope he'll get thru the selections to come back for next year's sing open...
maybe i'll sail better and can compete with him...
haha...
did i mention?
he got good techniques..
and a really nice personality...
=)
they said his bro cuter...
22yo...
quite true...
but i spoke to him less...
coz usually he's with the older indonesians...
leaving poor sopandi alone...

sad that he's leaving...
so really hope to see him again next year...
but till then...
maybe i'll write to him...
or wait for his sms...
but just remembered that i din include the +65 in front of my HP number...
dunnoe whether he knows or not...
if not...
dont think he can sms me...
=)
