Today was the last day of was the last day of all nations cup, and it was such a bad meet... The first day was the worst.... I did a 1.18 for 100 breast!!! OMG!!! I used to be capable of achieving that time in training!!! I don know wat is happeing to me!!! Asian Games is soooo near, and I am soooo slow!!! I realkly love this sport, but when I do bad in it i get really depressed and fed up... but today I did 28.89 for my 50 free, and it brought my spirits up slightly, but still....

wow I havent posted in so long! I have been really busy since SAF games, trying to catch up with all the work I missed and studying for the tests of topics I hadnt even covered!!! my grades this term were the worst I have ever gotten! but the two weeks before half term, I got test scores that showed me a ladder to climb up, but they were not counted in the report... so ya.... Hopefully, next term will be a good one...
Moving forward to recent events... Rach, ems, peck, kat, kenneth, kang, yang, gareth, russ, orisa, yao, cheryll and ben and myself, were the OPEN WATER TEAM!!! we swam in the polluted waters of Singapore,for-..... nothing actually... It was stomach turning! I hated it! I thought I saw poo floating on th surface, but I didnt stop to check, cause my main aim was to get to shore in the shortest possible time... Kenneth got stung by a jellyfish... ha ha.... cockroach...lol....
At the moment, I have holidays, which is kinda bad timing cause all the swimmers are having their exams now, so we cant go and watch movies... but I might go over to jane's house tomorrow after watching a movie... It gonnna be fun!

All the club people are busy with hw, so cant go with them, and my school friend are on holiday.... So im probably going with my sistaz and my parents... Its my dad's birthday today, but he is in New York... So when he comes back on the 19th, we are going together.... yups...

Training these days is really hard!! It was cruise yesterday, and there was a Challenge set that was compulsory for me but kenneth, Kang and Yang decided to join me... actually jaan asked if they wanned to join and they said ok... so ya.. Kenneth is so damn fast la! walaweee.....

Club nite was soooo bad last night!! I did a 1.15.94 for my 100 back, 2.24 for my 200 free and 2.43 for my 200 im!!!! OMG! it sucks... After I finished the 100 back, which by the way,, I didnt slack at all, I was really grumpy... even grumpier than I was during training that night... Then, after he 200 free, I cried... oops... I dont think that the only reason I cried was because I did a bad time. I think it was because of other reasons too.... but I have no idea what... My mum caught me crying and attempted to console me.... meanwhile, coach fung was calling my name to report... After the little talk my mum had with me for crying, mum to told me to go swim the 200 im, whch I was sooo no tin the mood for doing at that moment. So i was relieved when jaan got the swmmers up on the blocks to start the heat that I was supposed to be racing in. But that moment of happiness was gone, when jaan saw me hiding in the changing rooms.. damn! So he got the swimmers to step down and waited for me to join everyone else... hmph... I was sooooo mad that night... When I came home last night, I was in a better mood, and thinking about what had happened at club night, I felt that it was silly the way I acted, besieds, It was only club night rite? But somehow, I was in an extremely bad mood last night and this morning in training... And I felt guity about being annoyed at jaan... So I decided to go apologise to him today...lol...

High School Musical was the best movie ever! Zack Efron is soooooo cute! And Venessa was really pretty too... The story itself was touching... I almost cried... It wasabout how a basketball player and a science geek fall in love with eachother, and how their respective groups of friends try to break them up... Anywe, I owe Wen a copy of the one I recorded and same with sam as well think... I am tired.. Going to sleep now...

Today is the firstday of JAG and chiki is going for it.. she is probably at the Sports School by now.. Mum has gone to her university and she is to do a presentation on an Architect named Andy Goldsworthy.. She made a gorgeous poster and did a Power Point on him too..
nd I am sitting all alone at home with my new laptop.. Ha ha.. I got a new laptop!! How cool ya?!!! Now I just have to convince my dad to let me have it for myself instead of sharing it with Machiko.. Not a very easy job, but tthere is no harm in trying!! ha ha..

I have finished my work and Im realli bored..
hmm...

2006-02-11T18:11:00.000-08:00

I am totally exhausted I can't move in training..
I walked out of training yesterday morning. According to Jaan I am "fatigued".. Ya watever.. Ya sure I have been training loads but... ayya.. My breast stokes are stilll 38 points! It sucks.. But my other strokes are improving though.. I am not even sure if I am ready to go to CommonWealth..
Stupid Kenneth and Mun Shen the cockroach are not making it any better either. The basterds >:/ If I am a looser then he is more of one! He only beats me in breaststoke and he is a guy.. I mean come on! wait a minute, I don even know why I am even blogging about him.. They are totally not worth it. I just hate him. he is so dumb and annoying.. I even let him come over to my house the day we went training! I can't believe it!
My feet have blisters on them after using the mono fins. They just bend your feet like rubber! But its fun using them! ha ha..I also got my tempo trainer, Snorkles and paddles.. They are all really fun to use.. Everyone says that the mono fins are dangerous cause they are so big and take too much space and they hurt others in the lane.. ha ha... Pity Kenneth hasn't gotten hurt yet.. So far it has been Yang, Kang, Rachel, Myself and eddie...

Holiday in LA

2005-12-27T17:12:00.000-08:00

I just got back from my 1week holiday in Los Angeles,California. Although it took us almost a day to travel form here to there, the holiday was rather fun. The flight was TERRIBLE! (although I have to admitt I was travelling on First Class) But hey.. its not my fault I hate travelling!!
Anyway, back to our stay there..
My dad's uncle insisted that we spent our holiday at their house and so we did.. He came to the airport to pick us up and we stayed there for the whole week..
On the first day of our vaccation, we visited DisneyLAND California.. To tell you the truth, it was very, very, very boring!!!! We spent a at least two hours in line to get to one ride! The were so many people! Maybe cause it was Christmas or something, but you can barely move without bumping into ten fat people and soon getting squished!! So by the end of the day, we were cold exhausted and our legs were aching!!!
The next day, we went to Universal Studios in Holiwood!!! This was W-A-Y more fun! We managed to go on every single ride, and guess what?!!! I met Peter Parker from Spider Man, Maralin Munrow, Lucy from an American show and The Green Goblin also from Spider Man!!!! It was so awsome! Apart from that, we got to see a movie and a TV show being filmed. We also saw how Jurrasic Park and loads of other films were made!! Trust me, when you go see how it is made, it is unbelievable how fake it is!! We went on cool water rides too!!!! It was so fun but really scary; we went through this Mummy roller coaster, and boy was that scary! You go on the ride forward,(really fast) and just as you are relieved and think that the ride is over, you go even faster backward!!!! Oh THE HORROR!!!

Me and my mum went to look around Beverly Hills. You know, the most expensive shopping area in the World!!! Where Holliwood stars shop!!! YA... mum and I were having so much fun admiring the Beu te ful clothes with outrageously expensive prises.. After a whille, we became hungry and wanned something to eat and when we went to a cafe, we found that a small cup of cappuchino, was $4 US, which is around $8 SIN! We went on a car ride to see houses of the famous stars and boy were they huge! But apperently, the ones me and mum saw(WHICH WERE HUGE) were the SMALL manssions!!! Sheesh, these people should really consider giving money to charity... AKA us!!!!
Our holiday was xtermely fun!!!!! I loved it, but the flight back was absolutely horrible................I hate travelling!!! I was almost sick on the plane!

2005-12-13T18:01:00.000-08:00

Ayyaaa..... So tired laa...
My whole body is hurting!!!
I did pretty well in training tody.. Did a PB for 50 fly... 32.33secs..
