heal the world. make it a better place

FLOORBALLAHOLIC! Hee hee. So fun to say it! I tried saying it many times over and got really confused after a while.

There are 4 funny conversations that happened during intra-school floorball that I remember so vividly.

Jun Long: I want a doughnut
Me: Okay, I take for u ah.
Jun Long: Okay.
Me: As in I use my hands.
Jun Long: Oh. Erm, you washed your hands already?
Me: Yeah… (very matter of factly tone)
Jun Long: Okay, I believe u.
Me: looks at hand I finds that there are black rubber bits from the field on my hand. Calmly puts hand behind back as Jun Long takes out his money to pay, hoping he didn’t see a thing.
Me: Justin, do you wanna buy a doughnut? Buy la, buy la.
Justin: Walks towards huizhen and I. Kelly follows behind. Don’t want.
Kelly: Wo yao. Got what flavours?
Huizhen and I: Oh there’s chocolate and banana, cinnamon… strawberry. The chocolate and banana is very nice. People say its nice to eat. You want?
Kelly: Wo yao na ge strawberry de. Points and smiles.
Me: Holds on to box of strawberry with lid open. Laughs uncontrollably and fails miserably to hide laughter.
Kelly: How much?
Huizhen: One fifty.
Me: Okay, take a plastic bag and choose which one you want.
Kelly: Picks at stack of plastic bags about 5 times before managing to finally pick one out.
Me: Laughs uncontrollably again.
Kelly: Chooses doughnut.
Me: You will smudge the cream if you put it in a plastic bag.
Kelly: Nehmind.

Xianhui: Walks into floorball court breathless. 1 kg of sugar!
Mer: Huh?
Me: He said ‘1 kg of sugar’. There’s a team called ‘1 kg of sugar’.
Mer: OH MY GOD! I wondered what he was talking about. I thought he said after he played floorball, it feels as if he lost 1 kg of sugar.
Me: WHAT?!
Both of us: Laugh non-stop.

Me: Hey, why are you all leaving already? We still have lots of benches to carry you know? Samuel: Cus we have to follow the juniors to buy sticks.
Me: Oh. Eeyer, then make us girls carry everything ah?
Samuel: Oh sorry la. Samuel, Sukiat and some other guys and I walk down the canteen stairs and realize the juniors are already leaving towards to main gate.
Samuel: They are lefting already?
Me: What? Oh my goodness. They are leaving la!
Sukiat: We are righting.

It was such an ironic scenario yesterday. The seniors and juniors were trying to play basketball yesterday. Meanwhile, on the other side of the court, basketballers were trying to play floorball. Notice I said trying. Hahaha.

Sometimes, things are so complicated, absurd, unimaginable. Hi Play.

Sometimes, you give me the knowing look. Hi Know.

Sometimes, I’d rather be on my own. Hi World.

I don’t believe that there is anyone else who could be more unfortunate than me this week. (Okay, don’t take it literally. I do understand that people in the world are dying, starving and so on.)

Before I begin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUIZHEN!

Alright, for one, I did extremely badly for math test and I absolutely dread receiving my results because it’ll trigger the whole disappointed-in-myself cycle again. To think I practiced so hard for integration and totally got the whole concept, only to be unable to attempt the question due to the lack of time! RAH! I didn’t even finish reading the differential equations question and was practically writing some workings on the paper while reading it. I think it was total crap. I am total crap.

Second, Wednesday’s training caused me 2 grazes, a strained shoulder and 20 seconds of uncontrolled breathing. I cried because I thought I was going to die. No no, I was just scared that something might happen to me. But I felt so much better after crying and my breathing returned to normal. Phew!

Third, the fact is I am total crap again. Got a miserable 2 upon 17 for my econs essay test. I felt like crying at first. But what the heck, its just a test. Not A Levels. Therefore, not worth my tears. Besides, I don’t think I’ll be switching classes. Heh heh.

Fourth, my computer switched off by itself as I was doing my Econs Seminar Topic. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs but it was way past midnight and I definitely had no intention of waking up the neighbourhood. So I let out a silent scream in my head as I switched the computer back on. Thank goodness, the documents were recovered. I was pleasantly relieved. So so so so relieved. Well, that isn’t an unfortunate event but could almost qualify as one if otherwise had happened.

Fifth, you are such a weird person. Okay, this isn’t unfortunate. It’s just strange. You stare and stare non-stop. Like you are curious about something, I have no idea?! You talk to me so normally like nothing happened, like we’re good friends or something. And now, you just go back to staring. Huh? What’s going on? It’s not like I didn’t take the initiative to talk to you or smile at you that day. I did. And I do think you can be a nice person. I don’t mind being friends if only you can be as cordial as that day. And by that, I mean not staring anymore. Cus that is just strange. I’m seriously confused.

So my week has been pretty awful. But nothing beats winning a free movie ticket. Cyber wellness questions are cool. They entitle you to win tickets. NJC librarians are cool too! They tell you the answer. Whee! (pls refer to huizhen’s blog for pic of movie ticket. Haha.)

I am on a chocolate binge.

Check out my 2 all time favourite songs by Boyzone. I feel like I'm no longer a teeny bopper. I miss being one. I remember how I used to be so crazy over Blue, Lee Ryan, Westlife, Boyzone, Michael Learns to Rock, Spice Girls, Jesse Mccartney and the list never ends. I guess there's a phase when we look at these singers with such admiration, hoping that we weill be able to know them personally. I love boybands. Their voices touch your heart. It gives you this resonance, this peace with the world, this bright outlook of life. Those were the days. Nostalgia all over again.

There are times I feel so bored of life, especially a routine life in this crucial A levels year. All I can think about is doing well for and scoring straight As. The thing is, that takes a lot of hard work and determination. Everything in life requires such. Be it building relationships, academic goals or even a simple game of floorball. We have to drill our minds with perseverance, the hunger to snatch the ball, the hunger for accurate and precise shots and most of all… the hunger to win.

I should count myself blessed. Blessed with wonderful classmates (nut, gimlim, john, ybee, biq, gen) that you can joke with, laugh with, eat with, poke at, snigger at, step on, make fun of (you get the idea).

Blessed with fantastic and funny floorball girl friends that you can go totally crazy with, ease you mind with, play floorball with, go through tiring endless trainings with, feel the ups and downs of a sportsperson with and feel the adrenaline for competition with.

Blessed with amazing and quirky floorball guy friends like (gary, louis, kinphang, trent) that you can always rely on and totally has your back, allows you to listen in to their conversations, always picks up balls for you, filled with humility and contentment and are hardworking model students for you to follow.

Blessed with great H3 classmates (huizhen, ybee, wilbert, jason, shufang) that you can complain about the workload with, complain about the lack of time to ruch essays, crack our heads over concepts with and of course discuss econs stuff with. I wish cat had stayed on. That'll be one more person i can place my burdens on. Heh.

I feel like jumping around. I guess I’m just drowning in the ecstasy of the March holidays that is only a week long and hoping it’ll last for ever. I don’t ever want this feeling to go away. This is our last chance to enjoy before we zoom full-throttle to tackle the A levels together. BUT, WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! We started out together; we’ll end it together. I miss that one-and-only incredible, marvelous, splendid, mind-blowing dance night. It’ll be something that I’ll treasure forever and ever (so cliché, but so true) cus it was a time when our lives were so uncomplicated, free from talk and full of surprises. I can’t wait for a day like that again.

Today's NTU-MOE Econs Seminar was quite good. The food in the second break was yummy. Eclairs! Poor Shufang was sniffling throughout and she felt really sleepy from the medicine i think. Most of the time was spent eating sweets and moaning and groaning about the uncomfortable chairs.

I am dying for floorball camp! (needless to say)I love floorball, heart and soul, absolutely.I love econs, mind and thoughts, completely.I love sad movies, tears and joy, entirely.I love my friends, strongly and wildly, totally.

Blogging on a blue slip

These 3 days, I’ve been in school for a mere 3 hours each. I’ve realized staying at home leaves you with lotsa time in your hands. But being my usual self, I always fail to treasure free time and end up dazing or dozing off. Murphy’s Law. I never knew stomach flu was such a nuisance. Now, I’ll have to rest well and hopefully wake up with sufficient time to mug both bio and econs or I can just forget about passing both tests. 18 years… yet I still have not found the slightest feeling of accomplishment in my life. I think this is what life is for me. I can never feel contented. Enough is never enough. We tell ourselves that this is all that we need. Lovers tell each other that they one another’s everything. Friends promise they’ll stand by one another through the joy and the pain. Is this ever true? Seems like old friendships are bound to wither while new ones blossom. I wish I could play with all my friends like there’s no tomorrow, that friendships will be treasured till eternity.
