oh forgot to add the wonders judo can do.

right after my arm starts to heal, im supposed to keep building up the muscles in my left bicep, coz its currently very weak. just in case you didnt notice, my left arm is much smaller than my right due to the muscle wastage. and im also supposed to loosen the muscles in my left shoulder coz its very tight from being kept immobile for 2 months.

but after 1.5 hours of judo, doing 50 uchikomi, 2 slack bouts of randori and dunno how many million throws, i now have a muscle ache in my left arm, just above the fracture spot. this means that my muscle is growing back. and my left shoulder feels less restricted. i never get muscle aches despite doing lots of physio and neither has my shoulder muscles loosened so much before. this shows i should stop going for physio. waste of money plus useless.

ok so i just came home after a really really long day today.

still, it was kind of fun. even the mugging part.

yesterday was passing out. what can i say? end of 1.5 years of sweat, blood and tears. but can i say im really happy? not really. though it has only been a short 1.5 years, but i can say that judo has became a part of my life. not much, but still it has an impact. every training days, though we moan and groan and think of silly excuses to try not to go, we still go in the end. and act crazy at the end of every trainings. at passing out yesterday, saw all my team mates crying. i guess its not that easy to let go of something that has been part of your life for 6 years. plus suddenly hearing sir say something unexpected, like how he thinks our batch is one of the best and all.

it ended with sir giving us all a treat at the stall oppposite beauty world. we ordered lots and lots of food. the same amount as the guys. but we had less rice than them coz we gave like half our rice to them. then sir refused to let us pay coz we wanted to treat him. in the end, we gave him a dessert treat. and once again, the guys never fail to amaze us with their ability to eat. a lot. atthe hawker centre, they had dessert, drinks, a big big plate of carrot cake and 2 popiah, which disappeared in like 5 min.

today we met to mug. then met amanda, ma jun and xiao hui to shop for grad night stuff, which unfortunately was not sucessful at all. and bugis didnt have anywhere to pierce ears so poor amanda and cxy couldnt have their ears pierced. and appearantly bing bing and ma jun are going to pierce too. too bad my ear no space le, or i wouldnt have minded getting some more. then they all left and me and cxy went for dinner. afterwhich i went to watch movie. eh knocked up is a super nice show.but quite, no, super crude. i can imagine kah leng squirming and squealing when she watches it.

we're prob going shopping on wed again. and we're finally going to run on mon.

hilarious day. but shant elaborate too much or 2 ppl will really throw face.

started out by laming around in the morning. and being super duper crazy. dunno who suddenly had this bright idea to go talk to someone and this caused bing bing to shriek and run away. anyway in the end xiao hui said what we were supposed to say so yup. mission accomplished.

all tru math i keep thinking abt it and i actually laughed when i was looking at my teacher coz the incident came back to me. luckily she didnt see me or she would have realy thought i have gone mad. we spent the whole of econs lec thinking abt the top 20 most hotest guys/girls and 20 most disgusting guys/girls in our batch. so as expected, i didnt listen. 3 of our batch mates made it to the top 20 hottest guy list. lol lol. im so amused.

econs ended 10 min earlier and we rushed out after tt. sad to say, we had chem and i freaking didint bring my notes. anyway when i went to class bench there i saw team mates and we started being crazy again. decided to sit with them for chem lec. and who should we see but bing bing so we told her to come join us. halfway tru the lec tommy and auntie walked in. so hilarious coz auntie had this smirk that remained on his face for the entire hour. everytime we turned to look at him we start to burst out laughing. and we kept trumatising poor bing bing too. till she turned red. oops. needless to say, i didnt listen to lecture again.

after school had this photo taking thing and we had great fun laughing at shu peng. after tt we went to watch harry potter. it was boring compared to all that had happened today in school. only sort of enjoyed the fighting scene at the ministry. and the story changed a lot. like it wasnt cho chang that was the sneak lor. then after the movie we decided that cathay nothing much to shop one so we went ps (again) tried looking for grad nite clothes for tommy. but cannot find any nice ones except for this nice suit. anyway my eyes kept zooming in on those pink tops. i wonder which guy would be brave enough to wear a baby/hot pink shirt to grad night.

left the place at 6. then called amanda to erherm... talk. haha. eh seriously we mean no harm lah. but really hope we can get the outcome we were hoping for. lol. and yah to quote ma jun, " auntie, stop smirking"

read my team mates blogs and i guess i should blog abt friday too. could have blogged earlier but had class outing yesterday and then woke up only now.

before the comp
was full of excitement about the match even before i woke up. remembered waking up at 5am to go to the toilet then was too nervous to go back to sleep. so laid in bed till it was time to wake up. the washed up and everything and set off for school. saw cxy at the bus stop then walked into school. was kind of waiting for chen hui and kah leng in the morning but i didnt see them till it was almost time to watch the inspirational movie. then we all crowded to talk to them outside the room and poor kah leng hd cream smeared all over her face. we watched cinderella man. was feeling kinda bored during the movie coz i didnt like the middles, only the boxing parts. had lunch then it was time board the bus. reached at12 but due to some miscommunication, we all thought it it started at 1. then was feeling kind of bad coz chen hui and kahleng rushed down in a cab to watch us play.

warm ups
first time im doing warm ups in 3 months and also the first time i would be wearing my gi. there's this feeling of nostalgia when i put on my gi and when we started doing warmups. even when the times when i see my team mates doing all the tough trainings, there's this part of me that want to be able to go through all of it with them. but i noe i will not be able too. not even by passing out so i guess i just have to be contented with doing uchikomi's.

the comp.
i remember screaming hystarically for everyone that by the c boys, i already felt my voice half gone. the c girls and b girls were zai. like we had 3 white belters in the c girls team, while the rgs had 5 orange belters, but they never gave us. amanda was supposedly losing but she managedto turn the tables upon them within the last minute by gaining an ippon. plus could see all of them playing super hard. didnt see much of the b girls though, coz was looking at my team mates warm up. but caught some of it from the door. remember seeing melissa's super nice throw and the girl flying beautifuly. it was zai considering melissa hurt her back last week.

our bout
i know i was already prancing around like some mad women even before they started playing. bing bing was up against lois. and could see her getting kind of frustrated during the bout coz lois kept crouching and false attacking. but anyway, bing bing managed to hold her down and won with ippon. amanda's bout was zai too. remember sir quietening us down to shout to amanda not to use uchimata but she didnt hear. anyway, i dun remember her using it anymore and later she won by holding again. majun bout was hard. i could see her trying all tht she could to throw teo jingyi but i guess she wasnt in her favoirute holding position thats why it was kind of hard for her to do so. and could see her withstanding all teo jingyi's throw and defending with all her might. it came as a shock when she got thrown but it definitely wasnt an ippon. the corner judge saw it but coz the other judge was blocked, the score remained as that. hui ming's bout was good too. could see that she really improved a lot since prelims and she was trying hard to throw her opponent. was so nervous whenever she did neweza coz so scared she would get shido. but luckily she didnt. it also came as a shock when she got thrown coz it was already in the last few seconds and i didnt expect any more throws from the both of them. xiaohui's bout was the most most impressive one. was super touched at her bout. could see that she was already tired, but she put on a very good fight despite her opponent being much more heavy than she is. she tried everything but unfortunately, everytime her throws/newaza worked, the referee said mahate. were getting kind of frustrated but all of u believed that xiaohui could still do it and get her thrown. the crowd was already cheering hard. everyone onthe hc and ny side were chanting xiao hui's name and could really kind of feel the school spirit. xiao hui put on a very good fight and we are all really proud of her.

a boys
by the time they started playing, we were all crying already. actually i think not many ppl expected them to win but im glad the underdogs prevailed in the end. i heard velden's throwwas very nice, but he happened to throw and land in front of wan peng, where my view was blocked, so i missed everything. wanpeng was also zai, or so i heard, coz i missed his throw too. was blocked by all those guys standing in front of me. his yellow belt worked. lol. then jit neng's bout. was really a close match in the beginning but his opponent made lots of fatal errors and got 3 shidos which gave jit neng a wazari and they won by that. was crying super hard when jit neng won coz it meant that the a boys managed to retain the cup when so many ppl, even sir, thought it was not really possible. all of us felt that part of the guys were somehow, also fighting for us.

end
nothing really much except the prize presentation, congratulations, and debrief. then we went to eat at sakura. by tt time we have already calmed down and we happily made our way to sakura. first thing me and xiaohui did was to down 3 cups of drink and we became very full after that. the food was ok. not exactly delicious but oh well, at least we enjoyed ourselves. but i didnt feel as if i ate $28 worth. then the sec 4s came and me and amanda went to buy the wine for them. it was so funny coz they kept talking in ang moh accent and we kept laughing at them. then we went ntuc and bought food for my house. kept laughing at random stuff like 'naked neck chicken' and bing bing's cooling water and 'all track ppl should wear this'. then we said bye to wini and threw our face running to catch the bus, which was unfortunately filmed by the sec 4s. so we essentially threw our faces.

stayover
when we reached my house, we watched the fann wong show and coz mobtv got the sneak preview, we watched the last episode too. so it was like 8 ppl squashed in front of the comp trying to watch the vieo which cannot be put on full screen. then all of us took turns to bath and they kept laughing at me for shooing them off to bathe. then later i kicked the wastepaper bin and coz i had no broom and didnt want to use the vacuum cleaner coz it was late and i didnt want the whole house to wake up, i just conveniently opened the door and swept everything out. and they laughed at me again. watched shrek 3 then was supposed to watch movies tru the night but it ened up in us talking and gossipping tru the night. we talked for a whole 6 hours abt so much stuff. gossips, unknown secrets, stupid stuff and a lot more. it was funny coz we kept 'shhhh-ing' each other for talking too much, and bingbing's futile attempts at staying awake, one of which was to suddenly pop up and walk to the toilet. i tot she was sleepwalking. by 6, only me cxy and xiao hui were awake. we tried sleeping on the sofa, with xiao hui leaning on me and cxy on xiaohui i think. but it was super uncomfortable and xiao hui kept jerking so we decide to sleep in my room.

woke up
i woke at 9. then realised that those in the hall already woke le. talked somemore and then watched doreamon and campus superstar. then left my house for breakfast and we all trottled off to novena square in slippers, fbts and big shirts and wallets and handphones. we looked like aunties going to the market. ate for like 1 hour then we left. me and bing bing went back to my house first coz she needed to go home while the rest went to buy tau sar piah. so funny coz then they walked tome and bing bing, they really looked like they just returned from the market. then amanda and majun and pei jin left. mare came at 2 i tihnk and they started playing locoroco. so funny coz they kept lauging and laughing and being crazy. we all left at 330 and i went to find chen hui and kah leng.

went far east and just basically walked around and eat. then went for class bbq. kind of regretted going coz i was super tired and was kind of emo-ing and moody. left after an hour. luckily i talked to kah leng when i reached home and was kind of feeling better. after the long sleep, im happy to say that im finally alright and ready to take the next journey, which is to prepare for a level. yucks.

think my teammates all having withdrawal symptoms from judo. guess its not so bad for me coz havent trained for so long coz of my injury. but i guess it would be kind of hard as now got nothing to do after school le. but we watching movie tomorrow. yay.

wow long post. took 1.5 hours to type. haha.

just came home frm my cousin's housewarming. quite fun lah. but coz our dads played mahjong till midnight so we can only leave then. spent the entire night watching tv. watched the mahjong game a little. so funny coz i was sitting between my 2 uncles then they keep asking me what each other have. in the end, one of them won while the other lost.

oh and my cousins dog is super duper cute. i wanted to bring her home lah. its only 1 year plus old and still a puppy but its already very guai. she never even bark once and it gets along well with all of us. on the way back to my auntie's house, the dog actually stood on me so tt it could look out of the car window. super cute!!

yay we made it to the finals. all 6 teams!!
1 more week to finals. lets make it an all HC/NY gold.

yesterday was a boys, a girls, c boys and b girls. quite expected that they would all make it to finals. the matches all damn interesting and quite luckily we didnt face raffles at all. so basically, almost all the teams are going to face them in finals.

today all my team mates plus batch mates _ _ _ school. only me, xiaohui, pei jin and hui ming faithfully went. i only wanted to go for chem lec. but in the end amanda called during gp to say tt we should leave at 12 otherwise we would have missed the c girls bouts. so we left at 12 and cabbed to RI. the c girls match super exciting. didnt expect the sec 1s to be so zai. like the 5 bouts lasted less than 2 min i think. since they made it to finals, no need stay for repercharge so we laft at 2. then after tt we went ps for grad night stuff. initially very high and on the way there we went mad. i basically left my face behind on the train and it got lost forever. they keep laughing at me. esp xiaohui who laughed at me ever since she saw me in school. anyway, we shopped till we almost died and we kept complaining about how tired we were. its like we practically combed the whole building.

then went bread talk again to buy the $1 bread! cheapos!!!! haha. oh anyway going amanda's house tomorrow for inspirational movie. and i have physio tomorrow. think i should be able to remove my cast tomorrow. yay!!

nationals tomorrow. all the best judokas!!!

well. i miraculously didnt fail math. got 50 on the dot. i hate getting marks like 54 or 59 or sumthing liddat. makes me get extremely pissed off at the fact that u are so near yet so far away from jumping a grade. got 1 more mark for physics, which makes it 41/80. haha anyway physics no hope le coz im going to fail paper 3. this is like even shen2 xian1 also cannot help me le. anyway have been comparing my marks for last year and this year, and i realised tt my grades fluctuate a lot. for econs, my results range from U to B, chem its S to B, math its S to B. only physics is super consistant. ranging from U to E, with the worse being bocks 1, where i got 27/100. lol.

freak. and now have to attend some funny math lecture thing on tues and thurs. bleah.

oh damn dumb. yesterday after training was running to catch the bus then i sprained my anke. not exactly sprain lah, think i overstrained it. it has happened before lots of times during training but i didnt expect it to happen yesterday. but anyway, im used to the pain le so just carried on chasing the bus. today came back to school i told majun they all, chen hui and kah leng they all, and i got laughed at.

yay no school tomorrow. which means no physics lec and boring gp :)

wonder when will my parents accept the fact tt it is not easy to get a pass in jc. today was telling them my results for chem and econs and they were like "huh? so lousy?" felt kind of disappointed when i heard it. i mean jc is different from sec school. it used to be the norm to get As and Bs in sec school but for jc its a totally different matter. im seriously struggling hard to even pass. first have to aim to pass, then aim to rise through the grades. but i wonder why they dun seem to understand that. B and D isnt very bad. in fact compared to my previous papers, these results can be considered one of the best few. and its really a great improvement considering the fact tt i kind of screwed up my block 1 badly.

well, hope they wun feel disappointed when i tell them the soon-to-be U or S grades i'll be getting for physics and maths and possibly GP.
