i am sooooooooooo tired.
i haven't felt this way in almost a year!
went for ACJC's badminton training yesterday with chris,
and i exercised and sweated more than i did in the past year ever since i stopped training.
i must say, it felt good to be training again.
although i was seriously out of shape and kinda slow moving.
but considering how i didn't touch badminton in such a long time,
i think i played pretty well.
could have played worse, but i didn't, thank God.

so we walked up to the sports hall with our hearts in our mouths,
and met the captain of the girl's team - xiujuan.
introduced ourselves and got ready to warm up.
after warming up... chris and i went to stroke in the court furthest away from everyone.
haha not because we were anti-social,
we just didn't want to embarrass ourselves in front of everyone.
then we had to play a doubles match against 2 seniors, i can't remember who..
and we lost. but at least we didn't lose that badly.
pity we only played one set, i would have wanted to improve in the second.
after that we played against another pair, and we won the first set.
unfortunately due to our reeeeeeally bad stamina, we lost the second set.
but there was no rubber set so it was a draw. darn.
after that chris and i went to do some attacking and defending drill,
and soon 2 seniors came to do it with us.
one's gen and she's faith's classmate.. she's really nice. (:
ohyeah, speaking of faith, she was nice enough to stay back and see me come for training!
and she stayed throughout training too.
even helped to cheer us on and pick shuttles.
ohyes, and most importantly, refilling my waterbottle!
haha she was a real life-saver!
the coach made chris and i join in some mad crazy drill,
where he would fake and throw shuttles for us to hit at the speed of light.
so most of the time chris and i were lunging for shuttles that had already hit the floor. -.-
the coach was nice though, at least he didn't scold or anything, and he still joked around with us.
to end off the training, we had P.T.
AND IT WAS A KILLER.
we line jumped the width of 3 courts,
going there on our right leg, and then backwards on the same leg.
then repating it with our left, and doing 20 push-ups.
we repeated this 5 times, doing sit-ups, dorsal raises, star jumps, split jumps and squats.
and we all DIED.
after that we still had to do suicides, but thankfully it was only one set.
so i gave it my all and actually finished P.T. alive.
i thought i had died and gone to heaven, actually.
but the sheer exhaustion that i felt brought me back to reality.
then, chris and i dragged our tired bodies out of the hall to sit by the swimming pool to breathe in the fresh evening air.
it was really refreshing!
then we went back to warm down with the seniors.
had a good time talking and joking with them..
really helped that dear faith was there too.
i really like the seniors, they're a nice bunch of people.
although i didn't manage to catch everyone's names..
but yeah. gen, mae and xiujuan are really nice!
and that other girl in white whose name was never mentioned to me..
hopefully chris and i will be given the honour to be in the same team as them. (:

faith and chris walked me out to the main gate where my parents were waiting..
and along the way faith and i sang our favourite duet!
after so long, it really felt so good..
especially to sing it with someone else.
singing it to yourself is really no fun at all.
i saw lilin too! before i got into the car..
really nice to see her again.
we added a bit to the noise pollution level when we saw each other (think screaming girls)
but i couldn't talk for long.
had a nice (but rushed) dinner at tampopo..
the hot ramen soup rejuvenated my tired soul.
and the cube beef steak was simply fab.

i woke up this morning to a seriously immobile body.
i tried to do my usual morning stretch, and was instead greeted by painful objections from my muscles.
DAMN PAIN CAN.
so i got out of bed (with much difficulty) and took a shower (with much difficulty) and walked down the stairs for breakfast (with much difficulty).
basically i can't walk properly and neither can i bend down without my muscles screaming cold-blooded murder.
i just hope my muscles recover by monday,
in case chris and i get called up to go for training again.

poor brian is sick..
he couldn't finish his bowl of ramen last night and felt cold throughout the car journey.
which is something most unlike a healthy brian i know.
he had a fever when we got back last night, and this morning he has developed a cough.
the fever persisted slighty throughout the day and he basically was kinda bummed out.
looks like his body's taking a toll on him, after 3 weeks of BMT.
hopefully he'll recover soon.
and hopefully his sergeants in tekong will cut him some slack during next week's training.
luckily its a short week next week.. because of CNY.

speaking of which, i'm so happy i've done my CNY shopping!
all online too.
although it was all tops..
i gotta get more skirts i tell you.
i hope my necklaces come soon, i wanna see my little pony!!
kyahh. :D

wouldn't it be so cool if we were in the same school together?
finally, after wishing for that for years.. (:
