SIM Sports Awards Night

hey! some photos first...

i've got Sportswoman of the Year! (:


claimed by sUNIg medals. (: been a pretty gd season. but i didn't play for contact sunig though. coz it clashed with bowling.
so take it as for the achievements in Bali 7s.


event held in Lt1-10
sent the AUG atheletes off! hahahhas. all the best to raymond (bowling) and cheryl (bball) (:


HAHAH. this is the GOH.
i can't rmbr his name... but he's damn charming. ahhahas. his voice is damn charming! when he walked up to the stage and started to speak, there was a wave of "woooohhharr" in the audience. hahahas. even the guys. ahhaas. he's like a sports psychologist and also a sportsman. can't really rmbr what he said coz his voice was too charming and distracting. hahahas. but he's funny and encouraging and seem to understand sportsmen of our age (maybe coz he's a psychologist..)


so... we started off with the Team Awards.
there's 3 kinds.. Team Merit (5 teams), Outstanding Teams (3 teams), and Team of the Year (1 team).. if i rmbr correctly.

rugby and touch achieved the Team Merit Award! (:





bowling had the Outstanding Team Award! (:


it was actually quite exciting. coz none of the teams know what they are gonna get. hahas.

bel shi clair and mine! hahas. (:


then for the individual awards..



got the hear his voice twice! hahahhahas.


then was for Sportsman/woman of the year. hahas.
the nominees. ahhas. i know all of them!!! hahhhhahas.
abit malu tt that put down all my sports arh! and actually the ruggers are also touch football ppl. peixuan from the camp .. nicole! hahas. kc + sa friend. (: and the rest are my team mates. ahhas.



and haha.. i got it!
i was actually very surprised and genuinely didn't expect it at all. coz i didn't nominate myself or whatsoever. and really, there are other athletes in SIM who excel so much more than me. (will elaborate on that later..)


and delong got the sportsman of the year. he's from dragonboat. ahhas. also from TP and his bday's like one day after mine!


i thought $$cash. ahhas. but ok luh.. $100 vouchers for maximuscle that expires in dec. hahas. probably


and so.. the team of the yrea went to dragonboat team as they've won the prestigious President's Cup challenge or smth like that.



ahhahs. some of the sports leaders gathered together and take photo.. macham like some sports team. but a very happy grp of ppl though! hahas. (:





took photo with the sportsman of the yr...


dinner was at the foyer this yr. ahhahs. more ppl and more budget as compared to last year! hahhahas.







teehee. (:





ok.
really didnt expect to get the sportswoman of the year. i mean like.. there are so much other athletes who have performed excellently; not just for SIM but for the nation as well. i dun want to get the award just because i take part in 3 sports under SIM... its like jack of all trades but masters of none kinda thing. but ya la, i did have a good season.
been really down during trng for the last 3 wks, (with Dance Arts recital coming up in 6 days!) and basically, just have been struggling alot with myself, and even really on the verge of considerations of quitting. so this award is really very timely.

its really a great encouragement for me and moral booster for me. hopefully issues of self-esteem probs can just go away after like 5 yrs or smth. hahas.

one for one

hahas.

830am lect. woke up at 825am,
beat the traffic and reach sch at 8.59am b4 i'm officially late.
hahas.
it was yet another rain-no-rain-jacket-no-jacket situation.
PIE near bke there was like BIG droplets.all the bike stopped to put on their jackets. i went on with faith.
AHHA.
hero pls.
but true enough, thank God ttm, reached NP there just slight drizzle. ((: HEING.

so.
what's best.. lect is late. tmd. he came at 930am.
and he was like.. "yea. i thought i was 9.30am lect"
come on. who's gg to buy it? just say u caught in the jam la. we'll understand lors. ahhas. tsk tsk.




so. 4hrs break before 330pm lect.

we went Bishan to eat. decided on Swensen's coz its ONE FOR ONE. ahhahas.
huat ar.
((:

the queue was long. but worth the wait.





cheese burger pizza which really tasted like cheese burger.


i order the lagsana and it really tasted better than expected.


check out the bill!! huat ar. so one person like $15.70. with the pizza, soup, drink, ice cream and all. felt so worth it.



then KOI milk tea! hahas.
not a sweet tooth person.. so i'm a 25% sugar tea w/o pearls.ahahhas.








lect ended.
i dun like it when lecturers upload the notes so darn late that everyone has printed outdated notes though some print like 30hrs b4 lect starts kinda thing.
tmd.

so yea. totally wasn't paying attention.
playing lou's itouch all the way.






aft sch...

I

HAVE

NO

TRNG!


wanted to print notes.. but didn't really know what to print proper.
so forget it. tmr morng go sch then print.


didn't know what to do.
where to do.
wanted to go out but no point
wanted to go for a run, but the weather was really hot/humid kinda thing.
so forget it. went HOME and nua around the house duno doing what.



this sem's really very dreading.
i cannot fail any subs this sem. if i fail, i'd be missing the 2011 grad. so, i'll be grad in 2012. the horror. NO. defeats the purpose of why i'm in SIM.

let that be my motivation.
and yes friends, if u see me being very slackk, pls remind me of 2011 grad ceremony. i dun want to miss it.




i need to be more driven.
maybe as i'm getting older, i'm really loosing the drive.

my world cup fever

over these wkends, did so many things that left me not knowing what's day and night. bio clock totally screwed and my bike was really well used, pumping full tank, twice.

world cup in total. lost money.
- $40 on germany vs spain
- $30 on uruguay vs germany
- $30 on holland vs spain
but +$15 on spain for extra time. haha.

Sat morng- Youth in Touch.
played for Team Underwadder! ahhas (:
it was really great because all the ppl who went overseas came back! (:
dee mavis su wathone ju chu siti surya marli and i. it was like 5tp 5rp team. ahhas.



ok. we came in 2nd in the end.
faced pirates in the semis and team axis in the finals.
team axis is inhuman ok. ahhas. their team is made up of scary ppl who can burst like damn fast. hahas. so our objective is to not get thrashed so badly.
for pirates game, felt that it was alittle bit... erm. hard. as in like. in our team all of us, except for surya and siti were from pirates. i mean like... playing with them, i felt that yea, i do miss the times there, but at the same time, quite sad that its different now. as in like, i fell luh, like not together together enjoying touch like that. that's just a feeling from me.

but oh wells. glad that those who are in pirates are still playing touch.

chu's knee got prob during the pirates game! hope she's fine.
the sun was damn hot.
and it starteed to drizzle abit.
but really thank God for the day. for marli who was damn busy with tfs stuff, orgainzing the whole thing like by herself, and pulling the team tgt when we're damn tired.

ahhas. everyone's damn tired.
so after that...

BAN MIEN!

it was a small little gathering and jerelene was really pretty that day. she's like a princess.



then. i went home.

and OUT TO WORK.
from 12am-8am man.

hero pls.


was damn tired. but there's like the world cup 3rd/4th to push me.
sad that germany lost.

at around 7am was damn shagged.
almost fell asleep!! i kept talking to myself, singing out loud, randomly shouting out loud but didn't really help for long. ahhas. i surved and almost hit the curb. thank God it shocked me and i was wide awake for that moment.

i rmbr trying to find blk 61. ahahhas. because i was like in a half-asleep-trance mode, i went round round, making at least 4 u-turns. and the best part of it, i do know the place ya!
ahhahhaas. and finally i told myself to snap out of it go striaght one more and turn right.ahahahahahaas
damn funny.


in the midst, there was a guy who invited me to his home to watch the finals with him. i was like "er.. i have to make another delivery..". company policy also say cannot ar. ahhas. his house damn nice. got aircond and big screen LORR. hahas. nah. i'm a gd girl.

also got another house, foreigners. they look Iraq-ish. ahhas. 3 guys, 1 girl. all in their late 20s, early 30s i guess.
they invited me in to weigh myself. ahhahahah! they were like "hey. we really do not know how heavy an asian weigh.." so ok lor. since it was all in the name of fun, i took off my shoes and went in to step on the weighing machine. ahhahas.
the girl was shocked to know how light i was and the guy was stunned. he claims he's 100kg.. but seriously, he doesn't even look like if he's even able to hit 70kg.

ahhas. an no, i'm not light.
its all relative ya. numbers have no weight. they need to be in relation ya. ahhas.





finished work, stayed on for awhile to catch the match repeat. till 10am.

6pm went tp to fetch desmond.
we all met up at jalan kayu to go....

then head on to Dessert Bowl at Serangoon gardens. (:

this photo looks like taken at someone's house ar! ahhs.



then went to play lan at parklane.
lan was fun. one team was thrashing other team in L4D. and when i mean thrash, i mean like reaching the safe zone in 3mins kind and the infected didn't even have a chance to attack. HAHAHA.

last stop... KAP MACS for breakfast.


kah heng likes his hashbrown like that..

hahas. u have no idea how much pepper packets were used.

so overall, went to so many places!
i've got the foursquare app. ahhas. so, i've collected a few badges on the night itself. ahhhas.

then slpt in sch. my phone died. so couldn't find the gang. everyone buay tahan. so they slpt at lvl 3 while i slept at the atrium. ahhas.
they have their 830am lect.
while mine's at 330pm.
didn't want to ride home and beat the morng traffic with the malaysians. wasn't in any state to ride also. hahas.

so left sch at 10am. abit groggy but its alrdy the best. hahhas.
reached home safely and had a really good 4hrs of slp till 2.30pm and then back to sch..

surprisingly, i was wide awake during lect.



then ar. best part: went for fitness.
AHHAHAH
oh my tian. my whole body's aching!! not from the late nights. but from sat's youth in touch. ahhas. totally.
i couldn't do the sprints. i just jogged 10 rounds and almost died.
the circuits, i didn't do full out. my neck was still in pain since sat. think i sprained it. hahas.

so last night was quite sad abt my mental. and really, i think its the lowest of my fitness level.
the highest was during last yr's bangkok asian champs.
now, its like.. i'm recovering for my torn ligament.

i mean like. its the worst stage because, u dun really have a reason to be weak.
a few months ago, u can attribute it to ur torn ligamment and all. now that its recovering and almost recovered, u really have no excuses alrdy. so in a way, its really not that great.


so.
